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 choirmaster. A Psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of His hands.
2 Jou apre jou, l ap pale san rete; Nwit apre nwit, li revele konesans.
Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge.
3 Nanpwen langaj, ni pa gen pawòl kote nou pa tande vwa yo.
Without speech or language, without a sound to be 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 voice has gone out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world. In the heavens He has pitched a tent 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.
Like a bridegroom emerging from his chamber, like a champion rejoicing 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.
it rises at one end of the heavens and runs its circuit to the other; nothing is deprived of its warmth.
7 Lalwa SENYÈ a pafè Li rekonfòte nanm. Temwayaj SENYÈ a vrè, k ap fè saj yo senp.
The Law of the LORD is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the LORD is trustworthy, 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 the LORD are right, bringing joy to the heart; the commandments of the LORD are radiant, giving light to 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 the LORD is pure, enduring forever; the judgments of the LORD are true, being altogether righteous.
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.
They are more precious than gold, than much pure gold; they are sweeter than honey, than honey from the comb.
11 Anplis, se pa yo menm ke sèvitè Ou a resevwa avètisman pou fè atansyon. Pou (sila) ki kenbe yo, gen gran rekonpans.
By them indeed Your servant is warned; in keeping them is great reward.
12 Se kilès ki kab rekonèt fot li? Padone mwen pou fot ke m pa konnen yo.
Who can discern his own errors? Cleanse me from my 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 Your servant also from willful sins; may they not rule over me. Then I will be blameless and cleansed of 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.
May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing in Your sight, O LORD, my Rock and my Redeemer.
