Sòm 80
1 Pou chèf sanba yo. Se pou yo chante l' sou menm lè ak chante ki di: Bèl ti flè savann blan yo. Se pou yo jwe mizik la sou enstriman akòd. Se yon sòm Asaf. Ou menm ki gadò pèp Izrayèl la, ou menm k'ap mennen pitit pitit Jozèf yo tankou bann mouton ou, panche zòrèy ou pou koute nou. Ou menm ki chita sou fotèy ou anwo zanj cheriben yo, parèt nan mitan gwo limyè ou la.
To the Chief Musician. For "the Lilies of Testimony." Asaph’s. A Melody. O Shepherd of Israel, give ear, Thou who leddest forth Joseph like a rock, Thou who art throned on the cherubim, appear!
2 Fè pitit Efrayim, pitit Benjamen ansanm ak pitit Manase yo wè jan ou gen pouvwa. vin delivre nou.
Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, stir up thy strength, And come! to our salvation.
3 Bondye, mete nou sou pye nou ankò! Fè nou santi ou la avèk nou, epi n'a delivre.
O God, bring us back, And light up thy face, That we may be saved.
4 Seyè, Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a, jouk kilè w'a rete fache sou pèp ou k'ap lapriyè nan pye ou?
O Yahweh, God of hosts! How long hast thou been wroth with the prayer of thy people?
5 Ou ba yo dlo k'ap koule sot nan je yo pou sèvi yo manje. Ou ba yo gwo gode plen dlo k'ap soti nan je yo pou yo bwè.
Thou hast fed them with the food of tears, And hast caused them to drink the water of weeping in threefold abundance.
6 Ou kite nasyon ki bò kote nou yo ap goumen yonn ak lòt poutèt nou. Ou kite lènmi nou yo ap pase nou nan rizib.
Thou dost make us an object of contention to our neighbours, And, our foes, find mockery for themselves.
7 Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa, mete nou sou pye nou ankò. Fè nou santi ou la avèk nou, epi n'a delivre.
O God of hosts, bring us back, And light up thy face, That we may be saved.
8 Ou rache yon pye rezen nan peyi Lejip, ou mete anpil nasyon deyò, ou plante l' nan plas yo.
A vine out of Egypt, thou didst remove, Thou didst cast out nations, and plant it;
9 Ou pare yon moso tè kote pou l' te grandi. Li pouse gwo rasin byen fon, branch li yo kouvri tout peyi a.
Thou didst make a clear space before it, So it rooted well its roots, and filled up the land;
10 Lonbraj li te kouvri tout mòn yo, branch li yo kouvri tout gwo pye sèd yo.
Covered were the mountains with its shade, And, with its boughs, the mighty cedars.
11 Branch li yo rive jouk bò lanmè Mediterane, jouk bò larivyè Lefrat.
It thrust forth its branches as far as the sea, —And, unto the River, its shoots.
12 Poukisa ou lage lantouraj li yo atè konsa, kifè koulye a nenpòt moun k'ap pase vin vòlè rezen li yo?
Wherefore hast thou broken down its fences, So that all who pass along the way, pluck its fruit?
13 Kochon mawon fin raboure rasin li yo, bèt nan bwa ap manje tout fèy li yo.
The boar out of the forest, browseth upon it, And, the wild beast of the field, pastureth thereon.
14 Bondye, ou menm ki gen tout pouvwa, tounen vin jwenn nou non! Kote ou ye nan syèl la, gade sak rive nou! Pran ka pye rezen ou lan non!
O God of hosts, return, we pray thee, —Look down out of the heavens, and see, And inspect this vine:
15 vin sove pye rezen ou menm ou te plante a, ti pye rezen ou fè tounen yon gwo pyebwa a.
Yea the stock which thy right hand planted, Even upon the son thou didst secure for thyself.
16 Lènmi nou yo mete dife ladan l', yo koupe tout branch li yo. Fè kòlè! Annik gade yo, y'a peri!
To be burned with fire, it is cut down, —At the rebuke of thy countenance, they will perish.
17 Pwoteje peyi ou te fè tounen yon gwo peyi a! Pwoteje pèp ou te chwazi a!
Let thy hand be, Upon the Man of thy right hand, Upon the Son of Man thou didst secure for thyself;
18 Nou p'ap janm vire do ba ou ankò! Ban nou lavi ankò! N'a fè lwanj ou!
So will we not draw back from thee, Thou wilt bring us to life, And, on thy Name, will we call.
19 Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a, mete nou sou pye nou ankò! Fè nou santi ou la avèk nou, epi n'a delivre!
O Yahweh, God of hosts! bring us back, Light up thy face, That we may be saved.
