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 music director. A psalm of David. The heavens declare God's glory; the skies above announce what he has made.
2 Jou apre jou, l ap pale san rete; Nwit apre nwit, li revele konesans.
Each day speaks constantly about God's glory to the next day; each night shares knowledge of God with the next night.
3 Nanpwen langaj, ni pa gen pawòl kote nou pa tande vwa yo.
They speak without speech or words; their voice is not audible;
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,
Yet what they say is heard all over the earth; their message goes to the whole world. God has made a home in the heavens 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.
It's like a bridegroom coming out of his room, like a fit athlete happy to run a race.
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 on one side of the heavens and travels across to the other. Nothing is hidden from its heat.
7 Lalwa SENYÈ a pafè Li rekonfòte nanm. Temwayaj SENYÈ a vrè, k ap fè saj yo senp.
The Lord's law is beneficial, renewing spiritual life. The Lord's teaching is trustworthy, making inexperienced people wise.
8 Prensip a SENYÈ yo dwat, ki fè kè rejwi. Kòmandman SENYÈ a san tach. Li fè zye yo limen.
The Lord's instructions are right, making people glad. The Lord's commandments are sincere, helping people see what is good.
9 Lakrent SENYÈ a pi; Li dire jis pou tout tan. Jijman yo SENYÈ a vrè; Yo jis san manke.
Reverence for the Lord is right, and lasts forever. The Lord's judgments are both true and fair.
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 to be valued than gold, even the finest gold; they are sweeter than honey, even the purest honey coming straight from 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.
They also warn your servant. By keeping them I'm richly rewarded.
12 Se kilès ki kab rekonèt fot li? Padone mwen pou fot ke m pa konnen yo.
Who's aware of their own mistakes? Don't punish me for these faults I'm unaware of.
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.
Don't let your servant commit deliberate sins. Don't let them rule over me. Then I will be without fault, innocent of such rebellion.
14 Kite pawòl bouch mwen a avèk refleksyon kè m vin akseptab devan zye Ou, O SENYÈ, wòch mwen, ak sovè mwen an.
May you be pleased with the words I speak, and the thoughts I think, Lord my rock and my redeemer.
