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.
The earth and everything in it belongs to Yahweh; all the people in the world belong to him, too,
2 Li te fonde li sou lanmè yo, e te etabli li sou rivyè yo.
because he caused the ground to be above the water, above the water that was deep below the surface of the earth.
3 Se kilès ki kab monte sou kolin SENYÈ a? Epi kilès ki kab kanpe nan lye sen pa Li an?
Who will be allowed to go up on Zion Hill [in Jerusalem], in order to stand [and worship] in Yahweh’s holy temple?
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.
[Only] those whose actions [MTY] and thoughts are pure, who have not worshiped idols, and who do not tell lies when they have solemnly promised [to tell the truth].
5 Li va resevwa yon benediksyon soti nan SENYÈ a, ak ladwati soti nan Bondye delivrans li an.
(They will be blessed by Yahweh/Yahweh will bless them). When God [judges them], he, who has saved them, will say that they (have done nothing wrong/are without fault).
6 Sa se jenerasyon a (sila) k ap chache Li yo, ka p chache figi Ou—menm Jacob. Tan
They are the ones who approach God, they are the ones who may worship God, the one [we] Israelis worship.
7 Leve wo lento ou yo, o pòtay yo! Leve wo, o pòt ansyen yo! Pou Wa glwa la kapab antre!
Open up [APO] the [temple] gates in order that our glorious king may enter!
8 Se kilès ki Wa a glwa a? SENYÈ fò e pwisan an, SENYÈ a pwisan nan batay la.
[Do you know] who the glorious king is? He is Yahweh, the one who is very strong [DOU]; He is Yahweh, who conquers [all his enemies] in battles!
9 Leve wo lento ou yo, O Pòtay yo! Leve wo, O pòt ansyen yo! Pou Wa glwa la kapab antre!
Open up the [temple] gates in order that our glorious king may enter!
10 Se kilès ki Wa glwa a? SENYÈ dèzame yo! Se Li menm ki Wa glwa a. Tan.
[Do you know] who the glorious king is? He is Yahweh almighty; he is our glorious king!
