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 psalm of a canticle for David himself. Let God arise, and let his enemies be scattered: and let them that 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.
As smoke vanisheth, so let them vanish away: as wax melteth before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.
3 Men moun ki mache dwat yo ap kontan, y'ap fè fèt devan Bondye. Y'ap kontan anpil anpil.
And let the just feast, and rejoice before God: and be delighted with 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 ye to God, sing a psalm to his name, make a way for him who ascendeth upon the west: the Lord is his name. Rejoice ye before him: but the wicked shall be troubled at his presence,
5 Bondye rete nan kay ki apa pou li a, li sèvi papa pou timoun ki san papa yo, li pwoteje vèv yo.
Who is the father of orphans, and the judge of widows. God 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.
God who maketh men of one manner to dwell in a house: Who bringeth out them that were bound in strength; in like manner them that provoke, that dwell in sepulchres.
7 O Bondye, lè ou t'ap mache alatèt pèp ou a, lè ou t'ap travèse dezè a,
O God, when thou didst go forth in the sight of thy people, when thou didst pass 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, and the heavens dropped at the presence of the God of Sina, at the presence 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.
Thou shalt set aside for thy inheritance a free rain, O God: and it was weakened, but thou hast made it perfect.
10 Pèp ou a moute kay li nan peyi ou pare pou pòv malere yo, paske ou gen bon kè.
In it shall thy animals dwell; in thy sweetness, O God, thou hast provided for the poor.
11 Seyè a bay lòd, epi yon bann fanm pran gaye nouvèl la:
The Lord shall give the word to them that preach good tidings with great power.
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 powers is of the beloved, of the beloved; and the beauty of the house shall divide spoils.
13 Lè nou rete kouche nan pak mouton yo zèl pijon an klere tankou ajan. Plimaj li jòn tankou lò.
If you sleep among the midst of lots, you shall be as the wings of a dove covered with silver, and the hinder parts of her back with the paleness of gold.
14 Lè Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a te gaye wa yo nan peyi a, li te fè lanèj kouvri mòn Salmon.
When he that is in heaven appointeth kings over her, they shall be whited with snow in Selmon.
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 curdled mountain, a fat 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.
Why suspect, ye curdled mountains? A mountain in which God is well pleased to dwell: for there the Lord shall dwell unto 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 attended by ten thousands; thousands of them that rejoice: the Lord is among them in Sina, 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.
Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive; thou hast received gifts in men. Yea for those also that do not believe, the dwelling of 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 be the Lord day by day: the God of our salvation will make our journey prosperous to 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 of salvation: and of the Lord, of the Lord are the issues from 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.
But God shall break the heads of his enemies: the hairy crown of them that walk on in their sins.
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 from Basan, I will turn them into the depth of the sea:
23 pou ou ka mache nan san yo, pou chen ou yo ka jwenn pa yo nan lènmi ou yo.
That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of thy enemies; the tongue of thy dogs be red 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.
They have seen thy goings, O God, the goings of my God: of my king who is in his sanctuary.
25 Moun k'ap chante ap mache devan, mizisyen yo dèyè. Jenn fi yo nan mitan, y'ap bat tanbouren.
Princes went before joined with singers, in the midst of young damsels 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 ye God the Lord, 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.
There is Benjamin a youth, in ecstasy of mind. The princes of Juda are their leaders: the princes of Zabulon, the princes of Nephthali.
28 Bondye, fè wè pouvwa ou non! Wi, fè wè pouvwa ou te sèvi pou nou an!
Command thy strength, O God: confirm, O God, what thou hast wrought in us.
29 Rete nan tanp ou a lavil Jerizalèm, kote wa yo ap pote kado ba ou.
From thy temple in Jerusalem, kings shall offer presents to thee.
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, the congregation of bulls with the kine of the people; who seek to exclude them who are tried with silver. Scatter thou the nations that delight in wars:
31 Grannèg ap soti nan peyi Lejip, moun peyi Letiopi ap louvri bra yo pou lapriyè Bondye.
Ambassadors shall come out of Egypt: Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands to God.
32 Nou menm chèf peyi latè yo, chante pou Bondye! Chante pou fè lwanj Seyè a,
Sing to God, ye kingdoms of the earth: sing ye to the Lord: Sing ye 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.
Who mounteth above the heaven of heavens, to the east. Behold he will give to his voice the voice of power:
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 ye glory to God for Israel, his magnificence, and his power 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 is he who will give power and strength to his people. Blessed be God.
