Sòm 65
1 Pou chèf sanba yo. Se yon sòm David, se yon chante. Bondye, ou merite vre pou yo fè lwanj ou sou Mòn Siyon, se pou yo ba ou sa yo te pwomèt ou a.
God, it is right/appropriate [for us] to praise you in Jerusalem, and to do what [we] have promised you that [we] would do,
2 Paske ou tande lè y'ap lapriyè ou. Tout moun ap vin nan pye ou,
[because] you answer our prayers. People everywhere will come to you
3 pou rekonèt peche yo. Peche nou yo twòp pou nou. Men, w'ap efase yo.
because of the sins [that they have committed]. Our many sins are like a very heavy burden to us, but you forgive us.
4 Ala bon sa bon pou moun ou menm ou chwazi, pou moun ou menm ou rele bò kote ou! L'ap rete anndan lakay ou! N'ap plen vant nou ak bon bagay ki gen lakay ou, ak benediksyon ki nan kay ki apa pou ou a.
You are pleased with those whom you have chosen to live close to your temple. We are happy with all the blessings that we receive from [worshiping in] your sacred temple.
5 Bondye, ou menm k'ap delivre nou, w'ap reponn nou, paske ou pa nan patipri. w'ap fè bèl bagay pou nou. Moun toupatou sou latè, moun byen lwen lòt bò lanmè ap mete konfyans yo nan ou.
[God, when we pray to you], you answer us and save us by doing awesome deeds; you are the one who rescues us; people who live in very remote places on the earth, on the other side of the oceans, trust in you.
6 Avèk fòs ou, ou mete mòn yo kanpe nan plas yo. Ou fè wè jan ou gen anpil pouvwa.
By your strength you put the mountains in their places, [showing that] you are very powerful.
7 Ou kase lanmè a lè l' move. Ou fè lanm lanmè yo sispann fè bri. Ou fè pèp yo rete trankil lè yo move.
You calm the seas when they roar, and you stop the waves from crashing [on the shore]; you [also] calm people when they (make a great uproar/shout angrily together).
8 Moun ki rete nan dènye bout latè a pran tranble lè yo wè bèl bagay ou fè yo. Depi sou bò solèy leve jouk sou bò solèy kouche ou fè moun rele sitèlman yo kontan.
People who live in very remote/distant places on the earth (are awed by/revere) you because of the miracles that you perform; because of what you do, people who live far to the west and far to the east shout joyfully.
9 Ou moutre jan ou pran swen latè: Ou voye lapli pou wouze l'. Ou fè l' donnen anpil. Larivyè Bondye toujou plen dlo. Ou pare yon bèl rekòt mayi. Men ki jan ou pran swen tè a:
You take care of the soil and send rain, causing many good things to grow; you fill the streams with water, and cause grain/crops to grow. That is what you have determined/said would happen.
10 Ou mete dlo nan kannal pou wouze jaden yo. Ou kase bit tè yo. Ou voye gwo lapli pou tè a bwè kont dlo li. Ou fè grenn yo jèmen.
You [send plenty of rain] on the fields that have been plowed, and you fill the furrows with water. With showers you soften the [hard clods/lumps of] soil, and you bless the soil by causing young plants to grow.
11 Ala yon bèl rekòt ou ban nou lè lanne a fini! Tout kote ou pase gen abondans an kantite!
Because you bless the soil, there are very good crops at harvest season; wherever you have gone [MTY], good crops are very abundant [IDM].
12 Jaden ki nan dezè a jwenn kont dlo yo. Ti mòn yo kontan.
The pastures are full of flocks [of sheep and goats]; [it is as though] the hills are very joyful.
13 Jaden yo plen zannimo. Jaden mayi kouvri tout fon yo. Fon yo kontan, y'ap chante sitèlman yo kontan.
The meadows are full of sheep and goats, and the valleys are full of grain; [it is as though] they [also] sing and shout joyfully.
