Sòm 119
1 ALÈPH. A la beni se (sila) ak chemen ki san fot yo, ki mache nan lalwa SENYÈ a.
[ALEPH.] How happy the men of blameless life, who walk in the law of Yahweh.
2 A la beni se (sila) ki kenbe temwayaj Li yo, Ki chache Li ak tout kè yo.
How happy they who observe his testimonies, with a whole heart, they seek him.
3 Ki pa fè okenn inikite. Yo mache nan chemen Li yo.
Yea, they have not wrought perversity, In his ways, have they walked.
4 Ou te òdone règleman Ou yo, pou nou ta kenbe yo ak dilijans.
Thou, hast commanded thy precepts, that they should be diligently kept.
5 O ke chemen mwen yo kapab vin etabli pou kenbe règleman Ou yo!
Oh would that my ways might be settled! that I might keep thy statutes.
6 Konsa, mwen p ap vin desi lè m gade kòmandman Ou yo.
Then, shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments.
7 Mwen va bay Ou remèsiman avèk yon kè ki dwat, lè mwen aprann jijman dwat Ou yo.
I will thank thee with uprightness of heart, when I have learned thy righteous regulations.
8 Mwen va kenbe règleman Ou yo. Pa abandone m nèt! BETH
Thy statutes, will I keep, Do not thou forsake me utterly.
9 Kijan yon jennonm kapab kenbe wout li yo san fot? Nan kenbe li selon pawòl Ou.
[BETH.] Wherewithal can a young man keep pure his way? By taking heed, according to thy word.
10 Ak tout kè mwen, mwen te chache Ou. Pa kite mwen vin egare e kite lòd Ou yo.
With all my heart, have I sought thee, Suffer me not to be led astray from thy commandments.
11 Pawòl Ou yo, mwen te kenbe yo nan kè m, pou m pa t peche kont Ou.
In my heart, have I treasured what thou hast said, to the end I may not sin against thee.
12 Beni se Ou menm SENYÈ a. Enstwi mwen nan règleman Ou yo.
Blessed art thou, O Yahweh—Teach me thy statutes.
13 Avèk lèv mwen, mwen te pale selon tout òdonans bouch Ou yo.
With my lips, have I recounted All the regulations of thy mouth.
14 Mwen te rejwi nan chemen temwayaj Ou yo, konsi se nan tout richès yo.
In the way of thy testimonies, have I rejoiced, Like as over all riches.
15 Mwen va reflechi sou règleman Ou yo, e okipe chemen Ou yo.
In thy precepts, will I meditate, that I may discern thy paths.
16 Mwen va rejwi nan lòd Ou yo. Mwen p ap bliye pawòl Ou. GIMEL
In thy statutes, will I find my dear delight, I will not forget thy word.

18 Ouvri zye m pou m kab wè bèl bagay nan lalwa Ou yo.
Unveil thou mine eyes, that I may discern Wondrous things out of thy law.
19 Mwen se yon etranje sou latè. Pa kache kòmandman Ou yo de mwen.
A sojourner, am, I, in the earth, Do not hide from me, thy commandments.
20 Nanm mwen kraze ak anvi pou òdonans Ou yo tout tan.
My soul is crushed with longing for thy just decisions at all times.
21 Ou repwoche ògeye yo, moun madichonnen yo, k ap egare kite kòmandman Ou yo.
Thou hast rebuked the proud as accursed, who stray from thy commandments.
22 Retire repwòch ak mepri a sou mwen, paske mwen obsève temwayaj Ou yo.
Roll from off me, reproach and contempt, For, thy testimonies, have I observed.
23 Malgre prens yo vin chita pou pale kont mwen, Sèvitè Ou va reflechi tout tan sou règleman Ou yo.
Even rulers have taken their seat, against me, have talked, Thy servant, will still meditate in thy statutes.
24 Anplis, temwayaj Ou yo se plezi mwen ak konseye mwen yo. DALETH
Yea, thy testimonies, are my dear delight, My counsellors.
25 Nanm mwen kole rèd nan pousyè a. Fè m leve selon pawòl Ou.
[DALETH.] My soul, cleaveth to the dust, Give me life, according to thy word.

My ways, I recounted, and thou didst answer me, Teach me thy statutes.
27 Fè m konprann chemen òdonans Ou yo, pou m kab reflechi tout tan sou mèvèy Ou yo.
The way of thy precepts, cause thou me to understand, and I will indeed meditate in thy wonders.

My soul weepeth itself away, for grief, Confirm thou me, according to thy word.
29 Retire sou mwen fo chemen an e ban mwen gras nan lalwa Ou a.
The way of falsehood, take thou from me, and, with thy law, O favour me.
30 Mwen te chwazi chemen fidèl Ou a. Mwen te mete òdonans Ou yo devan m.
The way of faithfulness, have I chosen, Thy regulations, have I deemed right.

I have kept close to thy testimonies, O Yahweh! do not put me to shame.

36 Enkline kè m a temwayaj Ou yo, e pa nan ranmase richès malonèt.
Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and not unto unjust gain.
37 Vire zye m pou yo pa gade vanite e fè m reprann mwen nan chemen Ou yo.
Turn away mine eyes, from beholding vanity, In thy way, give me life.
38 Etabli pawòl Ou a Sèvitè Ou a, kon (sila) ki gen lakrent Ou.
Establish, unto thy servant, thy word, which pertaineth to the reverence of thee.
39 Detounen lwen m repwòch Ou ke mwen krent anpil, paske òdonans Ou yo bon.
Cause to pass away my reproach, that I have feared, for, thy regulations, are good.
40 Gade byen, mwen gen anpil anvi pou òdonans Ou yo! Fè m remonte nan ladwati Ou. VAV

[WAW.] And let thy lovingkindness reach me, O Yahweh, thy salvation, according to thy word.
42 Pou m kab genyen yon repons pou (sila) ki repwoche m nan, paske mwen mete konfyans mwen nan pawòl Ou.

47 Mwen va pran plezi nan kòmandman Ou yo, ke mwen tèlman renmen.
That I may find dear delight in thy commandments, which I have loved.
48 Mwen va lonje men m vè kòmandman Ou yo ke m tèlman renmen. Mwen va reflechi tout tan sou règleman Ou yo. ZAYIN

49 Sonje pawòl a sèvitè Ou a. Se nan li Ou te fè m gen espwa a.
[ZAYIN.] Remember the word unto thy servant, upon which thou hast caused me to hope.
50 Se sa ki ban m rekonfò nan mizè mwen an, paske se pawòl Ou ki fè m rekouvri fòs.
This, is my comfort in mine affliction, that, thy word, hath given me life.

68 Ou bon e Ou fè sa ki bon. Enstwi mwen nan règleman Ou yo.
Good, thou art, and doing good, Teach me thy statutes.

Insolent men have plastered falsehood over me, I, with a whole heart, will observe thy precepts.
70 Kè yo rèd, kouvri ak grès, men mwen pran plezi nan lalwa Ou.
Gross, like fat, is their heart, I, in thy law, have found dear delight.
71 Li bon pou mwen ke m te aflije, pou m te kab aprann règleman Ou yo.
It is, well for me, that I was afflicted, That I might learn thy statutes.
72 Lalwa bouch Ou pi bon pou mwen, pase pyès lò ak ajan pa milye. YODH
Better to me, is the law of thy mouth, than thousands of gold and silver.
73 Men Ou te fè m e te fòme mwen. Ban m bon konprann pou m kab aprann kòmandman Ou yo.

They who revere thee, shall see me and rejoice, that, for thy word, I waited.
75 Mwen konnen, O SENYÈ, ke jijman Ou yo dwat, ke se nan nan fidelite, Ou te aflije mwen.
I know, O Yahweh, that righteous are thy regulations, and, in faithfulness, didst thou afflict me.

Let thy lovingkindness, I beseech thee, serve to comfort me, according to thy word to thy servant.
77 Ke mizerikòd Ou kapab rive kote mwen, pou m kab viv, paske lalwa Ou se plezi mwen.
Let thy compassions reach me, that I may live, for, thy law, is my dear delight.
78 Ke awogan yo kapab vin desi, paske yo desann mwen, ranvèse mwen ak manti. Men mwen va reflechi tout tan sou òdonans Ou yo.
Let insolent men, be ashamed, because, by means of falsehood, they have dealt with me perversely, I, will meditate in thy precepts.
79 Ke (sila) ki krent Ou yo kapab vire kote mwen. Yo va konnen règleman Ou yo.

81 Nanm mwen fè gwo anvi pou sali Ou. Se pawòl Ou m ap tann.
[KAPH.] My soul, hath languished for thy salvation, For thy word, have I hoped.
82 Zye m vin ba ak anvi pawòl Ou, pandan m ap di: “Kilè W ap vin konsole mwen?”
Mine eyes have failed for thy word, saying, When wilt thou comfort me?
83 Sepandan, mwen vin tankou yon vye kwi diven k ap pran lafimen, Mwen pa bliye règleman Ou yo.
Though I have been like a wine-skin in the smoke, thy statutes, have I not forgotten.
84 Konbyen jou sèvitè Ou gen? Se kilè Ou va pase jijman sou (sila) ki pèsekite mwen yo?
How few are the days of thy servant! When wilt thou execute sentence on my persecutors?
85 Awogan yo fin fouye fòs yo pou mwen, (Sila) ki pa an akò ak lalwa Ou yo.
Insolent men digged for me pits, men who are not according to thy law.
86 Tout kòmandman Ou yo fidèl. Se ak manti yo te pèsekite mwen. Fè m sekou!
All thy commandments, are faithful, With falsehood, have they persecuted me, O help me!
87 Yo te prèske fin detwi m sou latè, Men pou mwen, mwen pa t kite òdonans Ou yo.
A little more, and they had consumed me in the earth, but, I, forsake not thy precepts.
88 Fè m reprann mwen selon lanmou dous Ou a, Pou m kab kenbe temwayaj a bouch Ou yo. LAMEDH
According to thy lovingkindness, give thou me life, so will I keep the testimonies of thy mouth.
89 Jis pou tout tan, O SENYÈ, pawòl Ou fin etabli nan syèl la.

90 Fidelite Ou pandan tout jenerasyon yo. Ou te etabli tè a e li vin kanpe nèt.
To generation after generation, is thy faithfulness, Thou hast established the earth, and it standeth.
91 Yo kanpe nan jou sa a selon lòd Ou. Paske tout bagay se sèvitè Ou.
By thy regulations, do they stand to-day, for, all, are thy servants.
92 Si lalwa Ou pa t plezi mwen, mwen t ap gen tan peri nan mizè mwen an.
Had not thy law been my dear delight, then, had I perished in mine affliction.
93 Mwen p ap janm bliye òdonans Ou yo, Paske se avèk yo menm ke Ou fè m reprann fòs.
Unto times age-abiding, will I not forget thy precepts, For, by them, hast thou given me life.
94 Se pa W mwen ye. Fè m sekou! Paske mwen te chache òdonans Ou yo.
Thine, am I, —oh save me! For, thy precepts, have I sought.

98 Kòmandman Ou yo fè m pi saj pase ènmi m yo, Paske yo toujou pou mwen.
Beyond mine enemies, will thy commandment make me wise, for, age-abidingly, shall it be mine.
99 Mwen vin gen plis konprann pase tout pwofesè mwen yo, Paske temwayaj Ou yo se meditasyon mwen.
Beyond all my teachers, have I shown discretion, for, thy testimonies, are my (meditation)
100 Mwen gen konprann plis pase granmoun yo, akoz mwen te swiv òdonans Ou yo.
Beyond the elders, will I show understanding, for, thy precepts, have I observed.

From every way of wickedness, have I withheld my feet, that I might keep thy word.
102 Mwen pa t vire kite règleman Ou yo, paske se Ou menm ki te enstwi m.
From thy regulations, have I not turned aside, for, thou, hast directed me.
103 A la pawòl Ou yo dous nan gou mwen! Wi, pi dous pase siwo myèl nan bouch mwen!
How smooth to my palate is thy speech, More than honey, to my mouth.
104 Soti nan òdonans Ou yo, mwen jwenn bon konprann. Pou sa, mwen rayi tout fo chemen yo. NUN
Out of thy precepts, will I get understanding, For this cause, do I hate every false way.
105 Pawòl Ou se yon lanp pou pye m, e yon limyè nan pa pye mwen.
[NUN.] A lamp to my feet, is thy word, and a light to my path.
106 Mwen te sèmante e mwen va konfime sa, Ke m va kenbe òdonans Ou yo.
I sware, and have fulfilled, To keep thy righteous regulations.
107 Mwen vin aflije anpil, anpil; fè m reprann fòs mwen, O SENYÈ, selon pawòl Ou.
I have been afflicted exceedingly, —O Yahweh, give me life according to thy word.
108 O aksepte ofrann bòn volonte a bouch mwen an, O SENYÈ, enstwi mwen nan òdonans Ou yo.
The freewill offerings of my mouth, accept, I pray thee, O Yahweh, And, thy regulations, teach thou me.
109 Lavi m tout tan nan men m, malgre, mwen pa bliye lalwa Ou a.
My life, is in my hand continually, Yet, thy law, have I not forgotten.
110 Mechan yo te poze yon pèlen pou mwen, malgre, mwen pa t varye soti nan òdonans Ou yo.
The lawless have set a snare for me, Yet, from thy precepts, have I not strayed.
111 Mwen te eritye temwayaj Ou yo pou tout tan, paske se yo ki lajwa kè m.
As an inheritance have I taken thy testimonies unto times age-abiding, for, the joy of my heart, they are.

117 Kenbe mwen pou m kab jwenn sekou, pou m gen konsiderasyon pou règleman Ou yo tout tan.
Sustain me, that I may be saved, and may find dear delight in thy statutes continually.
118 Ou te rejte tout (sila) ki te egare kite règleman Ou yo, paske sediksyon yo a pa reyisi.
Thou hast made light of all who stray from thy statutes, for their fraud is, falsehood.
119 Ou te fè tout mechan sou latè yo disparèt tankou kim initil. Pou sa, mwen renmen temwayaj Ou yo.
Dross, have I accounted all the lawless of the earth, therefore do I love thy testimonies.
120 Chè m ap tranble akoz lakrent Ou menm, e mwen gen laperèz jijman Ou yo. AYIN
My flesh, bristled up from dread of thee, and, of thy regulations, stand I in fear.

126 Se lè pou Ou aji, SENYÈ, paske yo te vyole lalwa Ou a.
It is time that Yahweh should work, They have frustrated thy law!
127 Pou sa, mwen renmen kòmandman Ou yo, plis pase lò, wi plis pase lò fen.
For this cause, do I love thy commandments, More than gold, yea than fine gold!
128 Pou sa, mwen konsidere byen tout òdonans Ou yo selon tout bagay. Mwen rayi tout sa ki fo. PE
For this cause, all thy precepts concerning all things, I deem right, Every way of falsehood, I hate.
129 Temwayaj Ou yo mèvèye. Akoz sa, nanm mwen toujou swiv yo.

136 Se rivyè dlo menm ki koule sòti nan zye m, akoz yo menm ki pa kenbe lalwa Ou a. TZADHE
Streams of water, have run down mine eyes, because men have not kept thy law.
137 Oudwat, O SENYÈ e jis se jijman Ou yo.

138 Ou te kòmande tout temwayaj Ou yo ak ladwati. Yo fidèl nèt.
Thou hast righteously commanded thy testimonies, yea in great faithfulness.
139 Zèl mwen fin manje m nèt, akoz advèsè mwen yo te bliye pawòl Ou yo.

Thy righteousness, is righteous to times age-abiding, and, thy law, is truth.
143 Twoub ak doulè gen tan rive sou mwen. Malgre kòmandman Ou yo se plezi mwen.
Straitness and distress, have befallen me, Thy commandments, are my dear delights.
144 Temwayaj Ou yo dwat jis pou tout tan. Ban mwen bon konprann pou m kab viv. QOPH
