Sòm 106
1 Louwe SENYÈ la! O bay remèsiman a SENYÈ a, paske Li bon, paske lanmou dous Li an se pou tout tan.
Praise ye the LORD! O give thanks to the LORD, for he is good; For his mercy endureth for ever!
2 Se kilès ki kab pale sou zèv pwisan a SENYÈ yo, Oswa fè vin parèt tout lwanj Li yo?
Who can utter the mighty deeds of the LORD? Who can show forth all his praise?
3 A la beni (sila) ki kenbe jistis yo beni. Beni se (sila) ki pratike ladwati nan tout tan yo!
Happy are they who have regard to justice, Who practise righteousness at all times!
4 Sonje mwen, O SENYÈ, nan favè Ou anvè pèp Ou a. Vizite mwen avèk sali Ou,
Remember me, O LORD! with the favor promised to thy people; O visit me with thy salvation!
5 pou m kab wè (sila) ke Ou te chwazi yo byen reyisi; pou m kab rejwi nan kè kontan a nasyon Ou an, pou m ka bay glwa de eritaj Ou.
That I may see the prosperity of thy chosen, That I may rejoice in the joy of thy people, That I may glory with thine inheritance!
6 Nou te peche menm jan ak papa zansèt nou yo. Nou te fè inikite; nou te aji mal.
We have sinned with our fathers; We have committed iniquity; we have done wickedly.
7 Papa zansèt nou yo an Égypte pa t konprann mèvèy Ou yo. Yo pa t sonje lamou dous Ou, men yo te fè rebèl bò lanmè a, nan Lanmè Wouj la.
Our fathers in Egypt did not regard thy wonders; They remembered not the multitude of thy mercies; But rebelled at the sea, the Red sea.
8 Sepandan, Li te sove yo pou koz non Li, pou L te kab fè pwisans Li rekonèt.
Yet he saved them for his own name's sake. That he might make his mighty power to be known.
9 Konsa, Li te repwoche Lanmè Wouj, e li te vin sèch, Li te mennen yo pase nan fon yo, menm jan yo te pase nan dezè a.
He rebuked the Red sea, and it was dried up, And he led them through the deep as through a desert.
10 Konsa, Li te sove yo depi nan men a (sila) ki te rayi yo, e te rachte yo soti nan men a lènmi an.
He saved them from the hand of him that hated them, And redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.
11 Dlo yo te kouvri advèsè yo. Nanpwen nan yo ki te rete.
The waters covered their enemies; There was not one of them left.
12 Nan lè sa a, yo te kwè nan pawòl Li yo. Yo te chante lwanj Li.
Then believed they his words, And sang his praise.
13 Men byen vit, yo te bliye zèv Li yo. Yo pa t tann konsèy Li,
But they soon forgot his deeds, And waited not for his counsel.
14 men yo te vin gen gwo anvi nan savann nan, e te pase Bondye a leprèv nan dezè a.
They gave way to appetite in the wilderness, And tempted God in the desert;
15 Pou sa, Li te ba yo sa yo te mande a, men te voye yon maladi epwizan pami yo.
And he gave them their request, But sent upon them leanness.
16 Yo te vin jalou a Moïse nan kan an, ak Aaron, fidèl sen a SENYÈ a.
They also envied Moses in the camp, And Aaron, the holy one of the LORD.
17 Akòz sa a, tè la te louvri vale Dathan, epi te anglouti tout konpanyen Abiram yo.
Then the earth opened, and swallowed up Dathan, And covered the company of Abiram,
18 Konsa, yon gwo dife te vin monte nan mitan konpanyen yo. Flanm nan te manje mechan yo.
And a fire was kindled in their company; The flames burned up the wicked.
19 Yo te fè yon jèn bèf nan Horeb. Yo te adore yon imaj fonn.
They made a calf in Horeb, And worshipped a molten image;
20 Yo te fè echanj glwa yo pou imaj a yon bèf ki manje zèb.
They changed their God of glory Into the image of a grass-eating ox.
21 Yo te bliye Bondye, sovè yo a, ki te fè gwo bagay an Égypte yo,
They forgot God, their saviour, Who had done such great things in Egypt,
22 mèvèy nan peyi Cham yo, ak bagay mèvèy bò Lanmè Wouj la.
Such wonders in the land of Ham. Such terrible things at the Red sea.
23 Akoz sa, Li te di Li ta detwi yo, men se te Moïse ki te kanpe nan brèch la devan Li, pou detounen kòlè Li pou l pa t detwi yo.
Then he said that he would destroy them; Had not Moses, his chosen, stood before him in the breach, To turn away his wrath, that he might not destroy them.
24 Alò, yo te meprize bèl peyi a. Yo pa t kwè nan pawòl Li,
They also despised the pleasant land, And believed not his word;
25 men te plenyen nan tant yo. Yo pa t koute vwa SENYÈ a.
But murmured in their tents, And would not hearken to the voice of the LORD.
26 Akoz sa, Li te sèmante a yo ke Li ta jete yo nan dezè a,
Then he lifted up his hand against them, And swore that he would make them fall in the wilderness;
27 ke Li ta voye desandan yo pami nasyon yo, e gaye yo nan peyi yo.
That he would overthrow their descendants among the nations, And scatter them in the lands.
28 Yo te vin jwenn yo menm, anplis, ak Baal-Peor, pou manje sakrifis ki te ofri a mò yo.
They also gave themselves to the worship of Baal-peor, And ate sacrifices offered to lifeless idols.
29 Konsa, yo te pwovoke Li a lakòlè ak zèv yo. E yon epidemi te kase vin parèt nan mitan yo.
Thus they provoked his anger by their practices, And a plague broke in upon them.
30 Epi Phinées te kanpe pou te entèsede, epi epidemi an te vin sispann.
Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment, And the plague was stayed.
31 Sa a te konte a li menm kon ladwati, pou tout jenerasyon yo jis pou tout tan.
And this was counted to him for righteousness, To all generations for ever.
32 Anplis, yo te pwovoke Li a lakòlè bò dlo Meriba yo, Jiskaske sa te sòti byen mal pou Moïse sou kont yo.
They provoked him also at the waters of Meribah [[strife]], And evil befell Moses on their account.
33 Akoz yo te fè rebèl kont Lespri Li a, Li te pale san reflechi avèk lèv li.
For they provoked his spirit, So that he spake inconsiderately with his lips.
34 Yo pa t detwi lòt pèp yo, jan SENYÈ a te kòmande yo a,
They did not destroy the nations, As Jehovah had commanded them.
35 men yo te fè melanj ak nasyon yo. Yo te aprann abitid yo.
They mingled themselves with the peoples, And learned their practices.
36 Yo te sèvi zidòl yo, ki te devni yon pèlen pou yo.
They even worshipped their idols, Which became to them a snare.
37 Se te menm pwòp fi ak fis yo ke yo ofri kon sakrifis a dyab yo.
Their sons and their daughters they sacrificed to demons,
38 Yo te vèse san inosan, san a pwop fis ak fi yo, ke yo te bay kon sakrifis a zidòl Canaan yo. Peyi a te kontamine nèt ak san.
And shed innocent blood, The blood of their own sons and daughters, Whom they sacrificed to the idols of Canaan; And the land was polluted with blood.
39 Konsa, yo te vin pa pwòp nan abitid yo, e te jwe pwostitiye nan zèv yo.
Thus they defiled themselves with their works, And played the harlot with their practices.
40 Akoz sa, kòlè SENYÈ a te limen kont pèp Li a. Li te vin rayi eritaj Li a.
Then burned the anger of the LORD against his people, So that he abhorred his own inheritance.
41 Konsa, Li te bay yo nan men a nasyon yo, pou (sila) ki te rayi yo vin renye sou yo.
And he gave them into the hand of the nations, And they who hated them ruled over them.
42 Lènmi yo, anplis, te oprime yo, e yo te oblije soumèt anba pouvwa yo.
Their enemies oppressed them, And they were bowed down under their hand.
43 Anpil fwa, Li te delivre yo. Malgre, yo menm te plen rebelyon nan konsèy yo, e te plonje desann nan inikite yo.
Many times did he deliver them; But they provoked him by their devices, And they were brought low for their iniquities.
44 Sepandan, Li te gade twoub yo lè Li te tande kri yo.
Yet, when he heard their cries, He had regard to their affliction;
45 Li te vin sonje akò Li pou koz yo menm, e te vin ralanti selon grandè lanmou dous Li a.
He remembered his covenant with them, And repented according to the greatness of his mercy,
46 Anplis, Li te fè yo resevwa mizerikòd Li, menm nan men a tout nasyon ki te fè yo prizonye yo.
And caused them to find pity Among all that carried them captive.
47 Sove nou, O SENYÈ, Bondye nou an. Ranmase nou pami nasyon yo, pou bay remèsiman a non sen Ou an, avèk viktwa ki sòti nan lwanj Ou yo.
Save us, O Jehovah, our God! and gather us from among the nations, That we may give thanks to thy holy name, And glory in thy praise!
48 Beni se SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la, pou tout tan jis pou tout tan. Kite tout pèp la di: “Amen.” Louwe SENYÈ a!
[Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, From everlasting to everlasting! And let all the people say, Amen! Praise ye Jehovah!]
