Sòm 98

1 Se yon sòm. Chante yon chante tou nèf pou Seyè a, paske li pa manke fè bèl bagay. Pouvwa li avèk fòs ponyèt li se bagay apa, se ak yo li te genyen batay la.

A Melody. Sing to Yahweh, a song that is new, For, wonderful things, hath he done, His own right hand and his holy arm, have brought him salvation.

2 Seyè a te fè wè jan l' delivre nou. Li te fè nasyon yo konnen jan li fè lèzòm gras.

Yahweh, hath made known, his salvation, Before the eyes of the nations, hath he revealed his righteousness;

3 Li te chonje jan li renmen moun Izrayèl yo, jan li toujou kenbe pawòl li gen ak yo. Moun toupatou sou latè te wè jan Bondye nou an ap delivre nou.

He hath remembered his lovingkindness and his faithfulness towards the house of Israel, —All the ends of the earth, have seen, the salvation of our God.

4 Nou tout ki rete sou latè, rele pou fè lwanj Seyè a tèlman nou kontan! Rele! Fè fèt! Chante!

Shout aloud to Yahweh, all the earth, Break forth and make a joyful noise and sweep the strings;

5 Chante pou Seyè a avèk gita! Avèk gita, chante kantik!

Sweep the strings to Yahweh, With the lyre, With the lyre, and the voice of melody;

6 Soufle klewon, kònen lanbi! Rele devan Seyè a sitèlman nou kontan, paske se li ki wa.

With trumpets and the sound of a horn, Shout aloud, before the king—Yahweh.

7 Se pou lanmè a ansanm ak tou sa k'ap viv ladan l' pran fè bri sitèlman yo kontan. Se pou latè a ansanm ak tou sa k'ap viv sou li pran chante.

Let the sea, roar, and the fulness thereof, The world, and they who dwell therein;

8 Se pou larivyè yo pran bat men yo. Se pou tout ti mòn yo pran chante ansanm sitèlman yo kontan.

Let, the floods, clap their hands, Together, let, the mountains, make a joyful noise,

9 Paske, l'ap vini pou l' jije tout moun ki sou latè! L'ap jije tout moun san patipri. L'ap jije tout pèp yo dapre sa yo merite.

Before Yahweh, for he is coming—to judge the earth, —He will judge the world, in righteousness, And the peoples, with equity.
