Sòm 68
1 Pou chèf sanba yo. Se yon sòm David. Se yon chante. Lè Bondye kanpe, lènmi l' yo gaye, moun ki rayi l' yo kouri lè l' parèt.
Unto the end. A Canticle Psalm of David himself. May God rise up, and may his enemies be scattered, and may those who hate him flee from before his face.
2 Menm jan lafimen disparèt nan lè a, se konsa w'ap disparèt yo. Menm jan lasi fonn nan dife, se konsa mechan yo gen pou yo mouri devan Bondye.
Just as smoke vanishes, so may they vanish. Just as wax flows away before the face of fire, so may sinners pass away before the face of God.
3 Men moun ki mache dwat yo ap kontan, y'ap fè fèt devan Bondye. Y'ap kontan anpil anpil.
And so, let the just feast, and let them exult in the sight of God and be delighted in gladness.
4 Chante pou Bondye, fè fèt pou li. Louvri chemen nan laplenn lan bay moun k'ap vini an. Se Seyè ki non li. Fè kè nou kontan lè li parèt devan nou.
Sing to God, sing a psalm to his name. Make a path for him, who ascends over the west. The Lord is his name. Exult in his sight; they will be stirred up before his face,
5 Bondye rete nan kay ki apa pou li a, li sèvi papa pou timoun ki san papa yo, li pwoteje vèv yo.
the father of orphans and the judge of widows. God is in his holy place.
6 Moun ki san fanmi yo, li ba yo fanmi. Li fè prizonye yo soti nan prizon, li fè kè yo kontan. Men, pou moun k'ap kenbe tèt avè l' yo, y'ap rete nan prizon.
It is God who makes men dwell in a house under one custom. He leads out those who are strongly bound, and similarly, those who exasperate, who dwell in sepulchers.
7 O Bondye, lè ou t'ap mache alatèt pèp ou a, lè ou t'ap travèse dezè a,
O God, when you departed in the sight of your people, when you passed through the desert,
8 tè a te pran tranble, lapli te pran tonbe soti nan syèl la devan Bondye. devan Bondye mòn Sinayi a, wi, devan Bondye pèp Izrayèl la.
the earth was moved, for the heavens rained down before the face of the God of Sinai, before the face of the God of Israel.
9 Bondye, ou fè lapli tonbe an kantite sou latè. Ou ba li fòs ankò, paske li te fin pèdi tout grès li.
You will set aside for your inheritance, O God, a willing rain. And though it was weak, truly, you have made it perfect.
10 Pèp ou a moute kay li nan peyi ou pare pou pòv malere yo, paske ou gen bon kè.
Your animals will dwell in it. O God, in your sweetness, you have provided for the poor.
11 Seyè a bay lòd, epi yon bann fanm pran gaye nouvèl la:
The Lord will give the word to evangelizers, along with great virtue.
12 Wa yo kouri, yo kouri ansanm ak tout lame yo. Moun yo te kite pou veye kay separe tout sa lènmi yo kite dèyè.
The King of virtue is beloved among the beloved. And the beauty of the house will divide spoils.
13 Lè nou rete kouche nan pak mouton yo zèl pijon an klere tankou ajan. Plimaj li jòn tankou lò.
If you take your rest in the midst of the clergy, you will be like a dove whose wings are covered with fine silver and edged with pale gold.
14 Lè Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a te gaye wa yo nan peyi a, li te fè lanèj kouvri mòn Salmon.
When heaven discerns kings to be over her, they will be whitened with the snows of Zalmon.
15 Ala yon gwo mòn ki wo se mòn Bazan! Se yon mòn ki gen anpil tèt, mòn Bazan an!
The mountain of God is a fat mountain, a dense mountain, a thick mountain.
16 Poukisa, ou menm mòn ki gen anpil tèt la, w'ap fè jalouzi pou mòn Bondye chwazi pou fè kay pou l' rete a? Se la Seyè a ap rete pou tout tan.
So then, why are you distrustful of dense mountains? The mountain on which God is well pleased to dwell, even there, the Lord will dwell until the end.
17 Seyè a gen anpil cha! Li moute sou yo. Li soti mòn Sinayi pou li al kote ki apa pou li a.
The chariot of God is ten thousand fold: thousands rejoice. The Lord is with them in Sinai, in the holy place.
18 Ou moute anwo, ou mennen anpil prizonye ale avè ou. Yo fè ou kado anpil moun, menm moun ki te leve dèyè ou yo.
You have ascended on high; you have taken captivity captive. You have accepted gifts among men. For even those who do not believe dwell with the Lord God.
19 Ann fè lwanj Seyè a chak jou! Li pote chay nou pou nou: Se li ki Bondye nou, se li ki delivre nou.
Blessed is the Lord, day after day. The God of our salvation will make our journey prosper for us.
20 Bondye sa a se Bondye delivrans nou! Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ap wete nou nan bouch twou a.
Our God is the God who will bring about our salvation, and our Lord is the Lord who has brought an end to death.
21 Bondye gen pou l' kraze tèt lènmi li yo. Wi, li gen pou l' kraze zo bwa tèt moun k'ap viv nan peche.
So then, truly, God will break the heads of his enemies, the hairy skull of those who wander around in their offenses.
22 Seyè di: -M'ap fè lènmi yo tounen soti nan peyi Bazan. M'ap fè yo tounen soti nan fon lanmè a.
The Lord said: I will turn them away from Bashan, I will turn them into the depths of the sea,
23 pou ou ka mache nan san yo, pou chen ou yo ka jwenn pa yo nan lènmi ou yo.
so that your feet may be soaked in the blood of your enemies, so that the tongue of your dogs may be soaked with the same.
24 Bondye, tout moun wè jan y'ap fè fèt pou ou. Yo wè ki jan Bondye mwen an, wa mwen an, ap mache antre kote ki apa pou li a.
O God, they have seen your arrival, the arrival of my God, of my king who is in a holy place.
25 Moun k'ap chante ap mache devan, mizisyen yo dèyè. Jenn fi yo nan mitan, y'ap bat tanbouren.
The leaders went ahead, united with the singers of psalms, in the midst of girls playing on timbrels.
26 Fè lwanj Bondye nan mitan pèp la lè l' reyini. Fè lwanj li, nou tout pitit pitit Izrayèl yo!
In the churches, bless the Lord God from the fountains of Israel.
27 Benjamen, ki pi piti a, vin alatèt yo. Apre li, vini chèf peyi Jida yo ak lame yo. Apre yo, vini chèf peyi Zabilon ak chèf peyi Neftali yo.
In that place, Benjamin is a youth in ecstasy of mind. The leaders of Judah are their governors: the leaders of Zebulun, the leaders of Naphtali.
28 Bondye, fè wè pouvwa ou non! Wi, fè wè pouvwa ou te sèvi pou nou an!
Command by your virtue, O God. Confirm in this place, O God, what you have wrought in us.
29 Rete nan tanp ou a lavil Jerizalèm, kote wa yo ap pote kado ba ou.
Before your temple in Jerusalem, kings will offer gifts to you.
30 Fè bèt ki rete anba wozo yo pè, fè bann towo bèf ak jenn ti towo yo pè tou, jouk y'a vin soumèt devan ou, jouk y'a vin ofri ajan ba ou. Wi, moun sa yo ki renmen batay, gaye yo! Fè yo kouri!
Rebuke the wild beasts of the reeds, a congregation of bulls with the cows of the people, for they seek to exclude those who have been tested like silver. Scatter the nations that are pleased by wars.
31 Grannèg ap soti nan peyi Lejip, moun peyi Letiopi ap louvri bra yo pou lapriyè Bondye.
Ambassadors will come out of Egypt. Ethiopia will offer in advance her hands to God.
32 Nou menm chèf peyi latè yo, chante pou Bondye! Chante pou fè lwanj Seyè a,
Sing to God, O kingdoms of the earth. Sing psalms to the Lord. Sing psalms to God.
33 pou Bondye k'ap kouri chwal li nan syèl la, nan syèl ki la depi lontan lontan an. Tande jan l'ap rele, jan l'ap rele byen fò.
He ascends, up to the heaven of the heavens, toward the east. Behold, he will utter his voice, the voice of virtue.
34 L'ap di: -Rekonèt jan Bondye gen pouvwa! L'ap dominen sou pèp Izrayèl la. Syèl la fè nou konnen jan li gen pouvwa.
Give glory to God beyond Israel. His magnificence and his virtue is in the clouds.
35 Bondye chita kote ki apa pou li a, li fè tout moun respekte l'. Bondye pèp Izrayèl la bay pèp li a fòs ak kouraj. Di Bondye mèsi!
God is wonderful in his saints. The God of Israel himself will give virtue and strength to his people. Blessed is God.
