Sòm 24

1 Yon sòm David Tè a se pou SENYÈ a, avèk tout sa ki ladann; lemonn avèk tout (sila) ki rete ladann yo.

For the First Sabbath. A Psalm of David. The earth and all its fullness belong to the Lord: the whole world and all that dwells in it.

2 Li te fonde li sou lanmè yo, e te etabli li sou rivyè yo.

For he has founded it upon the seas, and he has prepared it upon the rivers.

3 Se kilès ki kab monte sou kolin SENYÈ a? Epi kilès ki kab kanpe nan lye sen pa Li an?

Who will ascend to the mountain of the Lord? And who will stand in his holy place?

4 (Sila) ki gen men pwòp avèk yon kè ki san tach, ki pa leve nanm li vè sa ki fo, ni ki pa fè fo temwayaj.

The innocent of hands and the clean of heart, who has not received his soul in vain, nor sworn deceitfully to his neighbor.

5 Li va resevwa yon benediksyon soti nan SENYÈ a, ak ladwati soti nan Bondye delivrans li an.

He will receive a blessing from the Lord, and mercy from God, his Savior.

6 Sa se jenerasyon a (sila) k ap chache Li yo, ka p chache figi Ou—menm Jacob. Tan

This is the generation that seeks him, that seeks the face of the God of Jacob.

7 Leve wo lento ou yo, o pòtay yo! Leve wo, o pòt ansyen yo! Pou Wa glwa la kapab antre!

Lift up your gates, you princes, and be lifted up, eternal gates. And the King of Glory shall enter.

8 Se kilès ki Wa a glwa a? SENYÈ fò e pwisan an, SENYÈ a pwisan nan batay la.

Who is this King of Glory? The Lord who is strong and powerful; the Lord powerful in battle.

9 Leve wo lento ou yo, O Pòtay yo! Leve wo, O pòt ansyen yo! Pou Wa glwa la kapab antre!

Lift up your gates, you princes, and be lifted up, eternal gates. And the King of Glory shall enter.

10 Se kilès ki Wa glwa a? SENYÈ dèzame yo! Se Li menm ki Wa glwa a. Tan.

Who is this King of Glory? The Lord of virtue. He himself is the King of Glory.
