Sòm 116

1 Mwen renmen SENYÈ a, paske Li tande vwa m, avèk siplikasyon mwen yo.

I have loved, because the Lord will hear the voice of my prayer.

2 Akoz Li te panche zòrèy Li bò kote m, pou sa, mwen va rele non Li pandan tout tan ke m viv.

Because he hath inclined his ear unto me: and in my days I will call upon him.

3 Kòd lanmò yo te antoure m, e laperèz fòs lanmò te vini sou mwen. Mwen te jwenn twoub ak gwo tristès. (Sheol h7585)

The sorrows of death have encompassed me: and the perils of hell have found me. I met with trouble and sorrow: (Sheol h7585)

4 Alò, mwen te rele non SENYÈ a. O SENYÈ, mwen sipliye Ou, sove lavi mwen!

And I called upon the name of the Lord. O Lord, deliver my soul.

5 Ranpli ak gras ak ladwati, se SENYÈ a. Wi, Bondye nou an plen ak mizerikòd.

The Lord is merciful and just, and our God sheweth mercy.

6 SENYÈ a toujou pwoteje moun senp yo. Mwen te abese mwen nèt e Li te sove mwen.

The Lord is the keeper of little ones: I was little and he delivered me.

7 Reprann repo ou, O nanm mwen, paske Bondye te aji nan bonte Li avèk ou.

Turn, O my soul, into thy rest: for the Lord hath been bountiful to thee.

8 Paske Ou te delivre nanm mwen devan lanmò, zye m pou m pa kriye, pye m pou m pa glise tonbe.

For he hath delivered my soul from death: my eyes from tears, my feet from falling.

9 Mwen va mache devan SENYÈ a nan peyi moun vivan an.

I will please the Lord in the land of the living.

10 Mwen te kwè, pou sa mwen te di: “Mwen te vrèman aflije.”

I have believed, therefore have I spoken; but I have been humbled exceedingly.

11 Mwen te di nan mitan gwo twoub mwen yo: “Tout moun se mantè”.

I said in my excess: Every man is a liar.

12 Kisa mwen kapab bay a SENYÈ a Pou tout bonte Li anvè mwen?

What shall I render to the Lord, for all the things he hath rendered unto me?

13 Mwen va leve wo koup sali a, e rele non SENYÈ a.

I will take the chalice of salvation; and I will call upon the name of the Lord.

14 Mwen va peye tout ve mwen yo anvè SENYÈ a. Wi, nan prezans tout pèp Li a!

I will pay my vows to the Lord before all his people:

15 Byen chè nan zye SENYÈ a, se lanmò a fidèl Li yo.

Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints.

16 O SENYÈ, anverite, mwen se sèvitè Ou. Mwen se sèvitè Ou, fis a sèvant Ou an. Ou fin lache kòd mwen yo.

O Lord, for I am thy servant: I am thy servant, and the son of thy handmaid. Thou hast broken my bonds:

17 A Ou menm, mwen va ofri yon sakrifis remèsiman, e va rele sou non SENYÈ a.

I will sacrifice to thee the sacrifice of praise, and I will call upon the name of the Lord.

18 Mwen va peye ve mwen yo a SENYÈ a. Wi, kite l fèt nan prezans a tout pèp Li a!

I will pay my vows to the Lord in the sight of all his people:

19 Nan lakou lakay SENYÈ a, nan mitan nou menm, O Jérusalem, Louwe SENYÈ a!

In the courts of the house of the Lord, in the midst of thee, O Jerusalem.
