Sòm 45

1 Pou direktè koral la; selon “Flè Lis Yo.” Yon Sòm a fis a Koré yo. Yon Chanson Fèt Maryaj Kè m debòde avèk yon bèl sijè. Mwen resite vèsè mwen yo pou Wa a. Lang mwen se plim a yon ekriven byen prepare.

My heart overflows with a good matter. I speak the things which I have made concerning the king. My tongue is the pen of a ready writer.

2 Ou pi bo pase tout lòt nan fis a lòm yo. Lagras debòde sou lèv ou. Pou sa, Bondye te beni ou jis pou tout tan.

Thou are fairer than the sons of men. Grace is poured into thy lips. Therefore God has blessed thee forever.

3 Mete nepe Ou sou kwis ou, O (Sila) Ki Pwisan an, nan bèlte Ou avèk majeste Ou!

Gird thy sword upon thy thigh, O mighty one, thy glory and thy majesty.

4 Nan majeste Ou, Ou va monte nèt an viktwa. Pou koz verite avèk imilite, avèk ladwati, kite men dwat Ou enstwi Ou bagay mèvèy yo.

And in thy majesty ride on prosperously because of truth and gentleness and righteousness. And thy right hand shall teach thee awesome things.

5 Flèch Ou yo filè. Tout nasyon yo tonbe anba Ou, epi flèch Ou yo lantre nan kè lènmi a Wa a.

Thine arrows are sharp. The peoples fall under thee. They are in the heart of the king's enemies.

6 Twòn Ou, O SENYÈ, se pou tout tan e pou tout tan; Baton ladwati a se baton wayal a wayòm Ou an.

Thy throne, O God, is forever and ever. A scepter of straightness is the scepter of thy kingdom.

7 Ou te renmen ladwati e te rayi mechanste. Pou sa, Bondye, Bondye pa Ou a, te onksyone Ou avèk lwil lajwa plis ke moun parèy Ou yo.

Thou have loved righteousness, and hated wickedness. Therefore God, thy God, has anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy companions.

8 Tout vètman Ou yo santi tankou lami, womaren ak sitwonèl. Soti nan palè livwa yo, lenstriman a kòd yo vin fè Ou kontan.

All thy garments smell of myrrh, and aloes, and cassia. Out of ivory palaces stringed instruments have made thee glad.

9 Fi a wa yo vin pami fanm pi onore yo. Sou men dwat Ou, kanpe rèn nan, abiye an lò ki sòti Ophir a.

Kings' daughters are among thy honorable women. At thy right hand stands the queen in gold of Ophir.

10 Koute byen, O fi, prete atansyon e panche zòrèy ou. Bliye pèp ou a avèk lakay papa ou.

Hearken, O daughter, and consider, and incline thine ear. Forget also thine own people, and thy father's house.

11 Konsa, wa a va dezire bèlte ou. Akoz li se senyè ou, vin bese ba devan L.

So will the king desire thy beauty, for he is thy lord, and reverence thou him.

12 Fi Tyr la va vini avèk yon kado. Moun gwo riches pami pèp yo k ap chache favè ou.

And the daughter of Tyre shall adore him with a gift. The rich among the people shall entreat thy favor.

13 Lamarye a wa a bèl nèt anndan. Vètman li trese antre sòti avèk lò.

Inside, the king's daughter is all glorious. Her clothing is embroidered with gold.

14 Li va mennen kote Wa a nan yon zèv bwodri. Vyèj yo, konpanyen li yo, k ap swiv li va mennen bò kote Ou.

She shall be led to the king in broidered work. The virgins, her companions who follow her, shall be brought to thee.

15 Yo va mennen fè parèt avèk kè kontan ak anpil rejwisans. Yo va antre nan palè a wa a.

With gladness and rejoicing they shall be led. They shall enter into the king's palace.

16 Nan plas a papa zansèt ou yo, va gen fis ou yo. Ou va fè yo prens sou tout latè.

Instead of thy fathers shall be thy sons, whom thou shall make rulers in all the earth.

17 Mwen va fè non Ou sonje nan tout jenerasyon yo. Akoz sa, tout pèp yo va bay Ou remèsiman pou tout tan e pou tout tan.

I will make thy name to be remembered in all generations. Therefore the peoples shall give thee thanks forever and ever.
