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.
Let Elohim arise, let his enemies be scattered: let them also that hate him flee before him.
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 is driven away, so drive them away: as wax melteth before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of Elohim.
3 Men moun ki mache dwat yo ap kontan, y'ap fè fèt devan Bondye. Y'ap kontan anpil anpil.
But let the righteous be glad; let them rejoice before Elohim: yea, let them exceedingly rejoice.
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 unto Elohim, sing praises to his name: extol him that rideth upon the heavens by his name YAH, and rejoice before him.
5 Bondye rete nan kay ki apa pou li a, li sèvi papa pou timoun ki san papa yo, li pwoteje vèv yo.
A father of the fatherless, and a judge of the widows, is Elohim in his holy habitation.
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.
Elohim setteth the solitary in families: he bringeth out those which are bound with chains: but the rebellious dwell in a dry land.
7 O Bondye, lè ou t'ap mache alatèt pèp ou a, lè ou t'ap travèse dezè a,
O Elohim, when thou wentest forth before thy people, when thou didst march through the wilderness; (Selah)
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 shook, the heavens also dropped at the presence of Elohim: even Sinai itself was moved at the presence of Elohim, the Elohim 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, O Elohim, didst send a plentiful rain, whereby thou didst confirm thine inheritance, when it was weary.
10 Pèp ou a moute kay li nan peyi ou pare pou pòv malere yo, paske ou gen bon kè.
Thy congregation hath dwelt therein: thou, O Elohim, hast prepared of thy goodness for the poor.
11 Seyè a bay lòd, epi yon bann fanm pran gaye nouvèl la:
YHWH gave the word: great was the company of those that published it.
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.
Kings of armies did flee apace: and she that tarried at home divided the spoil.
13 Lè nou rete kouche nan pak mouton yo zèl pijon an klere tankou ajan. Plimaj li jòn tankou lò.
Though ye have lien among the pots, yet shall ye be as the wings of a dove covered with silver, and her feathers with yellow gold.
14 Lè Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a te gaye wa yo nan peyi a, li te fè lanèj kouvri mòn Salmon.
When the Almighty scattered kings in it, it was white as snow in Salmon.
15 Ala yon gwo mòn ki wo se mòn Bazan! Se yon mòn ki gen anpil tèt, mòn Bazan an!
The hill of Elohim is as the hill of Bashan; an high hill as the hill of Bashan.
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 leap ye, ye high hills? this is the hill which Elohim desireth to dwell in; yea, YHWH will dwell in it for ever.
17 Seyè a gen anpil cha! Li moute sou yo. Li soti mòn Sinayi pou li al kote ki apa pou li a.
The chariots of Elohim are twenty thousand, even thousands of angels: YHWH is among them, as 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.
Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led captivity captive: thou hast received gifts for men; yea, for the rebellious also, that YAH Elohim might dwell among them.
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 YHWH, who daily loadeth us with benefits, even the El of our salvation. (Selah)
20 Bondye sa a se Bondye delivrans nou! Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ap wete nou nan bouch twou a.
He that is our El is the El of salvation; and unto YHWH, my master, belong 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 Elohim shall wound the head of his enemies, and the hairy scalp of such an one as goeth on still in his trespasses.
22 Seyè di: -M'ap fè lènmi yo tounen soti nan peyi Bazan. M'ap fè yo tounen soti nan fon lanmè a.
YHWH said, I will bring again from Bashan, I will bring my people again from 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.
That thy foot may be dipped in the blood of thine enemies, and the tongue of thy dogs in 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 Elohim; even the goings of my El, my King, in the sanctuary.
25 Moun k'ap chante ap mache devan, mizisyen yo dèyè. Jenn fi yo nan mitan, y'ap bat tanbouren.
The singers went before, the players on instruments followed after; among them were the damsels playing with timbrels.
26 Fè lwanj Bondye nan mitan pèp la lè l' reyini. Fè lwanj li, nou tout pitit pitit Izrayèl yo!
Bless ye Elohim in the congregations, even YHWH, from the fountain 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 little Benjamin with their ruler, the princes of Judah and their council, the princes of Zebulun, and the princes of Naphtali.
28 Bondye, fè wè pouvwa ou non! Wi, fè wè pouvwa ou te sèvi pou nou an!
Thy Elohim hath commanded thy strength: strengthen, O Elohim, that which thou hast wrought for us.
29 Rete nan tanp ou a lavil Jerizalèm, kote wa yo ap pote kado ba ou.
Because of thy temple at Jerusalem shall kings bring presents unto 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 company of spearmen, the multitude of the bulls, with the calves of the people, till every one submit himself with pieces of silver: scatter thou the people that delight in war.
31 Grannèg ap soti nan peyi Lejip, moun peyi Letiopi ap louvri bra yo pou lapriyè Bondye.
Princes shall come out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall soon stretch out her hands unto Elohim.
32 Nou menm chèf peyi latè yo, chante pou Bondye! Chante pou fè lwanj Seyè a,
Sing unto Elohim, ye kingdoms of the earth; O sing praises unto the YHWH; (Selah)
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.
To him that rideth upon the heavens of heavens, which were of old; lo, he doth send out his voice, and that a mighty voice.
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.
Ascribe ye strength unto Elohim: his excellency is over Israel, and his strength 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!
O Elohim, thou art terrible out of thy holy places: the El of Israel is he that giveth strength and power unto his people. Blessed be Elohim.
