Sòm 90
1 Lapriyè Moyiz, sèvitè Bondye a. Seyè, ou te toujou yon pwoteksyon pou nou depi sou tan zansèt nou yo jouk koulye a.
The preier of Moises, the man of God. Lord, thou art maad help to vs; fro generacioun in to generacioun.
2 Anvan menm ou te kreye mòn yo, anvan ou te fè latè ak tout sa ki ladan l', depi tout tan ak pou tout tan se Bondye ou ye.
Bifore that hillis weren maad, ether the erthe and the world was formed; fro the world and in to the world thou art God.
3 Ou di moun se pou yo tounen sa yo te ye. Ou fè yo tounen pousyè ankò.
Turne thou not awei a man in to lownesse; and thou seidist, Ye sones of men, be conuertid.
4 Milan (1.000 an) pa anyen pou ou, se tankou yon jou. Se tankou jounen ayè ki fin pase a, se tankou yon ti kadè nan mitan lannwit.
For a thousynde yeer ben bifore thin iyen; as yistirdai, which is passid, and as keping in the niyt.
5 Ou fè yo pase tankou yon rèv, tankou pye zèb ki leve yon jou maten.
The yeeris of hem schulen be; that ben had for nouyt.
6 Li grandi, li fleri, nan aswè li fennen, li cheche.
Eerli passe he, as an eerbe, eerli florische he, and passe; in the euentid falle he doun, be he hard, and wexe drie.
7 Lè ou ankòlè, se fini ou fini ak nou. Lè ou move, ou fè kè nou kase.
For we han failid in thin ire; and we ben disturblid in thi strong veniaunce.
8 Ou mete devan je ou tou sa nou fè ki mal, ou mete peche nou fè an kachèt yo aklè devan ou.
Thou hast set oure wickidnessis in thi siyt; oure world in the liytning of thi cheer.
9 Ou koupe sou lavi nou paske ou ankòlè. Anvan nou bat je nou, lavi nou fini.
For alle oure daies han failid; and we han failid in thin ire. Oure yeris schulen bithenke, as an yreyn;
10 Dènye bout nou se swasanndizan. Si nou gen bon sante, n'a wè katreventan. Men, avantaj nou jwenn nan tou sa se sèlman tray ak mizè. Talè konsa nou fin viv, n' al fè wout nou.
the daies of oure yeeris ben in tho seuenti yeeris. Forsothe, if fourescoor yeer ben in myyti men; and the more tyme of hem is trauel and sorewe. For myldenesse cam aboue; and we schulen be chastisid.
11 Kilès ki konnen jan ou ka ankòlè? Kilès ki konnen jan pou yo pè ou lè ou move?
Who knew the power of thin ire; and durste noumbre thin ire for thi drede?
12 Moutre nou pou nou pa bliye jan lavi nou kout, pou nou kapab chache konprann tout bagay.
Make thi riythond so knowun; and make men lerned in herte bi wisdom.
13 Seyè, kilè w'a tounen? Gen pitye pou sèvitè ou yo.
Lord, be thou conuertid sumdeel; and be thou able to be preied on thi seruauntis.
14 Chak maten, voye benediksyon ou sou nou! Konsa, n'a chante, n'a toujou gen kè kontan.
We weren fillid eerli with thi merci; we maden ful out ioye, and we delitiden in alle oure daies.
15 Koulye a fè kè nou kontan pou menm kantite jou ou te ban nou lapenn, pou menm kantite lanne nou pase nan mizè.
We weren glad for the daies in whiche thou madist vs meke; for the yeeris in whiche we siyen yuels.
16 Fè moun k'ap sèvi ou yo wè sa ou ka fè. Fè pitit pitit yo wè jan ou gen pouvwa.
Lord, biholde thou into thi seruauntis, and in to thi werkis; and dresse thou the sones of hem.
17 Seyè, Bondye nou, pa sispann ban nou favè ou. Fè nou reyisi nan tou sa n'ap fè. Wi, fè nou reyisi nan tou sa n'ap fè.
And the schynyng of oure Lord God be on vs; and dresse thou the werkis of oure hondis on vs, and dresse thou the werk of oure hondis.
