Sòm 77

1 Pou chèf sanba yo. Pou Jedoutoun. Se yon sòm Asaf. Mwen rele byen fò nan pye Bondye. Wi, mwen rele nan pye Bondye, li koute mwen.

I cried unto Elohim with my voice, even unto Elohim with my voice; and he gave ear unto me.

2 Lè mwen nan tray, mwen lapriyè nan pye Seyè a. Tout lannwit m'ap lapriyè san rete, mwen pa ka jwenn konsolasyon.

In the day of my trouble I sought YHWH: my sore ran in the night, and ceased not: my soul refused to be comforted.

3 Mwen chonje Bondye, m'ap plenn! M'ap kalkile, mwen santi m' dekouraje!

I remembered Elohim, and was troubled: I complained, and my spirit was overwhelmed. (Selah)

4 Ou fè m' rete je klè, mwen sitèlman boulvèse, mwen pa ka pale.

Thou holdest mine eyes waking: I am so troubled that I cannot speak.

5 M'ap chonje tan lontan, wi, m'ap chonje lanne pase anwo yo.

I have considered the days of old, the years of ancient times.

6 Mwen pase nwit ap repase chante yo, m'ap kalkile anpil nan kè m', m'ap egzaminen, m'ap di:

I call to remembrance my song in the night: I commune with mine own heart: and my spirit made diligent search.

7 Eske Seyè a voye m' jete nèt? Eske li p'ap janm kontan avè m' ankò?

Will YHWH cast off for ever? and will he be favourable no more?

8 Eske Bondye pa gen bon kè ankò? Eske li p'ap kenbe pawòl li ankò?

Is his mercy clean gone for ever? doth his promise fail for evermore?

9 Eske Bondye bliye gen pitye? Eske lè li ankòlè li pa pran priyè?

Hath El forgotten to be gracious? hath he in anger shut up his tender mercies? (Selah)

10 Apre sa mwen di: Men sak fè m' pi mal ankò! Gen lè Bondye ki anwo nan syèl la pa menm jan an ankò?

And I said, This is my infirmity: but I will remember the years of the right hand of the most High.

11 Seyè, m'a rakonte gwo bagay ou te fè yo, paske mwen chonje bèl mèvèy ou te fè nan tan lontan.

I will remember the works of YAH: surely I will remember thy wonders of old.

12 M'ap kalkile tout sa ou te fè yo, m'ap egzaminen tout gwo bagay estwòdenè ou te fè yo!

I will meditate also of all thy work, and talk of thy doings.

13 Tout sa ou fè, Bondye, se bagay apa! Nan tout bondye yo, nanpwen ki gen pouvwa tankou ou!

Thy way, O Elohim, is in the sanctuary: who is so great an El as our Elohim?

14 Ou se Bondye ki fè mèvèy. Ou fè nasyon yo wè pouvwa ou.

Thou art the El that doest wonders: thou hast declared thy strength among the people.

15 Avèk fòs ponyèt ou ou te delivre pèp ou a, pitit pitit Jakòb yo ak pitit pitit Jozèf yo.

Thou hast with thine arm redeemed thy people, the sons of Jacob and Joseph. (Selah)

16 Lè dlo yo wè ou, Bondye, dlo yo soti pè. Lè dlo yo wè ou, fon lanmè yo pran tranble.

The waters saw thee, O Elohim, the waters saw thee; they were afraid: the depths also were troubled.

17 Nwaj yo pran vide gwo lapli, kout loraj pran woule nan nwaj yo, kout zèklè fè yanyan nan tout syèl la.

The clouds poured out water: the skies sent out a sound: thine arrows also went abroad.

18 Bri loraj la pran woule nan syèl la. Kout zèklè klere toupatou. Tè a soti pè, li pran tranble.

The voice of thy thunder was in the heaven: the lightnings lightened the world: the earth trembled and shook.

19 Ou louvri yon chemen pou ou nan mitan lanmè a. Ou pase nan mitan gwo lanmè fon fon an. Men pesonn pa ka wè mak pye kote ou pase.

Thy way is in the sea, and thy path in the great waters, and thy footsteps are not known.

20 Ou pran Moyiz ak Arawon, ou fè yo mennen pèp ou a tankou yon bann mouton y'ap mennen.

Thou leddest thy people like a flock by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
