Sòm 2

1 Poukisa nasyon yo ap boulvèse konsa, e pèp yo fòmante yon vye bagay?

Why this turmoil of nations, this futile plotting of peoples,

2 Wa latè yo pran pòz yo e chèf yo pran konsèy ansanm kont SENYÈ a, e kont onksyone pa Li a:

with kings of the earth conspiring, and rulers consulting together, against the Lord and against his anointed,

3 “Annou chire chenn sa yo, e jete kòd ki mare nou yo!”

to snap their bonds and fling their cords away?

4 (Sila) ki chita nan syèl la ri; SENYÈ a ap moke yo.

He whose throne is in heaven laughs, the Lord mocks them.

5 Anplis, Li va pale avèk yo nan kòlè Li. Li va fè yo sezi nan kòlè Li.

Then he speaks to them in his wrath, and in his hot anger confounds them.

6 Men pou Mwen menm, Mwen fin plase Wa Mwen an sou Sion, mòn sen Mwen an.

“This my king is installed by me, on Zion my holy mountain.”

7 Anverite, Mwen va pale selon deklarasyon SENYÈ a; SENYÈ a te di Mwen: “Ou se Fis Mwen. Se jodi a, Mwen te fè Ou.

I will tell of the Lord’s decree. He said to me: “You are my son, this day I became your father.

8 Mande Mwen, e Mwen va bay Ou nasyon yo kon eritaj, jis rive nan dènye pwent latè kon posesyon pa Ou.

Only ask, and I make you the heir of the nations, and lord of the world to its utmost bounds.

9 Ou va kase yo avèk yon baton fè, Ou va kraze yo tankou veso kanari.”

You will break them with sceptre of iron, shatter them like pottery.”

10 Konsa, O wa yo, sèvi ak sajès. Fè atansyon, O jij sou latè yo.

So now, you kings, be wise: be warned, you rulers of earth.

11 Adore SENYÈ a avèk gran respè e rejwi avèk tranbleman.

Serve the Lord in awe, kiss his feet with trembling,

12 Fè omaj a Fis la, pou L pa vin fache, epi ou ta mouri nan chemen an. Paske gwo chalè Li kab limen ase vit. A la beni se tout (sila) ki kache nan Li.

lest, angry, he hurl you to ruin; for soon will his fury blaze. Happy all who take refuge in him.
