Sòm 19
1 Pou direktè koral la; yon sòm David Syèl yo ap pale glwa Bondye a. Jan yo tèlman gran deklare zèv men Li yo.
For the Chief Musician. A Psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God; And the firmament showeth his handiwork.
2 Jou apre jou, l ap pale san rete; Nwit apre nwit, li revele konesans.
Day unto day uttereth speech, And night unto night showeth knowledge.
3 Nanpwen langaj, ni pa gen pawòl kote nou pa tande vwa yo.
There is no speech nor language; Their voice is not heard.
4 Sepandan, eko yo retanti sou tout latè, ak sa yo pale jis nan ekstremite latè a. Nan mitan yo, Li te plase yon tant pou solèy la,
Their line is gone out through all the earth, And their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun,
5 ki tankou yon jennonm ki fenk marye k ap sòti nan chanm li. Li rejwi kon yon nonm fò k ap fè kous.
Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, And rejoiceth as a strong man to run his course.
6 Li leve soti nan yon pwent syèl, pou fè wonn li rive jis nan lòt pwent lan. Anyen pa chape devan chalè li.
His going forth is from the end of the heavens, And his circuit unto the ends of it; And there is nothing hid from the heat thereof.
7 Lalwa SENYÈ a pafè Li rekonfòte nanm. Temwayaj SENYÈ a vrè, k ap fè saj yo senp.
The law of Jehovah is perfect, restoring the soul: The testimony of Jehovah is sure, making wise the simple.
8 Prensip a SENYÈ yo dwat, ki fè kè rejwi. Kòmandman SENYÈ a san tach. Li fè zye yo limen.
The precepts of Jehovah are right, rejoicing the heart: The commandment of Jehovah is pure, enlightening the eyes.
9 Lakrent SENYÈ a pi; Li dire jis pou tout tan. Jijman yo SENYÈ a vrè; Yo jis san manke.
The fear of Jehovah is clean, enduring for ever: The ordinances of Jehovah are true, [and] righteous altogether.
10 Yo pi chè pase lò, wi, pase anpil lò fen. Yo pi dous pase myèl, pase siwo a ki tonbe nan gato myèl la.
More to be desired are they than gold, yea, than much fine gold; Sweeter also than honey and the droppings of the honeycomb.
11 Anplis, se pa yo menm ke sèvitè Ou a resevwa avètisman pou fè atansyon. Pou (sila) ki kenbe yo, gen gran rekonpans.
Moreover by them is thy servant warned: In keeping them there is great reward.
12 Se kilès ki kab rekonèt fot li? Padone mwen pou fot ke m pa konnen yo.
Who can discern [his] errors? Clear thou me from hidden [faults].
13 Anplis, pwoteje sèvitè ou a kont peche ògèy yo. Pa kite yo vin domine m. Konsa, mwen kab rete san fot, epi va inosan a gran peche.
Keep back thy servant also from presumptuous [sins]; Let them not have dominion over me: Then shall I be upright, And I shall be clear from great transgression.
14 Kite pawòl bouch mwen a avèk refleksyon kè m vin akseptab devan zye Ou, O SENYÈ, wòch mwen, ak sovè mwen an.
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart Be acceptable in thy sight, O Jehovah, my rock, and my redeemer.
