Sòm 72
1 Se yon sòm Salomon. Bondye, moutre wa a jan pou l' dirije tankou ou! Bay pitit wa a pouvwa pou l' gouvènen jan ou vle l' la!
A Psalm of Solomon. Give the king Thy judgments, O God, and Thy righteousness unto the king's son;
2 Konsa, l'a gouvènen pèp ou a san patipri, l'a gouvènen malere ou yo jan sa dwe fèt.
That he may judge Thy people with righteousness, and Thy poor with justice.
3 Nan tout mòn peyi a, moun va viv byen yonn ak lòt. p'ap gen lenjistis nan okenn ti mòn peyi a.
Let the mountains bear peace to the people, and the hills, through righteousness.
4 Wa a va defann kòz malere ki nan peyi a. L'a wete pitit pòv malere yo nan mizè yo ye a. L'a kraze moun k'ap peze pèp la.
May he judge the poor of the people, and save the children of the needy, and crush the oppressor.
5 Se pou l' viv lontan, tout tan va gen solèy ak lalin pou bay limyè. Wi, se pou li viv tout tan tout tan.
They shall fear Thee while the sun endureth, and so long as the moon, throughout all generations.
6 Se pou wa a tankou lapli k'ap tonbe nan jaden, tankou gwo lapli k'ap wouze tè a.
May he come down like rain upon the mown grass, as showers that water the earth.
7 Sou reny li, ap gen jistis toupatou. Tout moun va viv byen yonn ak lòt tout tan va gen lalin pou bay limyè.
In his days let the righteous flourish, and abundance of peace, till the moon be no more.
8 L'ap gouvènen depi yon lanmè jouk nan lòt lanmè a, depi larivyè Lefrat jouk nan dènye bout latè a.
May he have dominion also from sea to sea, and from the River unto the ends of the earth.
9 Moun ki rete nan dezè a pral soumèt devan li, lènmi l' yo pral manje pousyè.
Let them that dwell in the wilderness bow before him; and his enemies lick the dust.
10 Wa peyi Tasis ak wa zile yo va vin ofri l' kado. Wa peyi Saba ak wa peyi Seba va pote kado ba li.
The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall render tribute; the kings of Sheba and Seba shall offer gifts.
11 Wa tout lòt peyi yo va soumèt devan li. Tout lòt peyi yo va sèvi l'.
Yea, all kings shall prostrate themselves before him; all nations shall serve him.
12 L'a delivre pòv yo lè yo rele nan pye li. L'a delivre tout malere ki san sekou.
For he will deliver the needy when he crieth; the poor also, and him that hath no helper.
13 L'a gen pitye pou pòv malere yo. L'a sove lavi tout moun ki nan bezwen.
He will have pity on the poor and needy, and the souls of the needy he will save.
14 L'a delivre yo anba men moun k'ap peze yo, anba men moun k'ap fè yo mechanste. Lavi moun sa yo gen anpil valè pou li!
He will redeem their soul from oppression and violence, and precious will their blood be in his sight;
15 Se pou wa a viv lontan! Y'a ba li lò ki soti nan peyi Saba. Y'a toujou lapriyè pou li. Y'a mande pou Bondye beni li chak jou.
That they may live, and that he may give them of the gold of Sheba, that they may pray for him continually, yea, bless him all the day.
16 Se pou jaden kouvri tout peyi a, jouk sou tèt mòn yo. Se pou yo donnen tankou jaden peyi Liban. Se pou lavil yo plen moun tankou zèb k'ap pouse nan jaden.
May he be as a rich cornfield in the land upon the top of the mountains; may his fruit rustle like Lebanon; and may they blossom out of the city like grass of the earth.
17 Se pou yo pa janm bliye non li. Toutotan va gen solèy pou klere tè a, se pou y'ap nonmen non li. Se pou tout nasyon fè lwanj li. Se pou tout moun mande Bondye pou l' beni yo menm jan li beni wa a.
May his name endure for ever; may his name be continued as long as the sun; may men also bless themselves by him; may all nations call him happy.
18 Fè lwanj Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la. Se li menm sèl ki ka fè bèl mèvèy sa yo.
Blessed be the LORD God, the God of Israel, who only doeth wondrous things;
19 Fè lwanj li pou gwo pouvwa li. Se pou toupatou sou latè yo rekonèt gwo pouvwa li. Wi, se vre! Amèn!
And blessed be His glorious name for ever; and let the whole earth be filled with His glory. Amen, and Amen.
20 Avèk sòm sa a, nou fini ak lapriyè David, pitit Izayi a, te fè.
The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.
