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.
For the leader; on shoshannim. Of the Korahites. A maskil. A love song. My heart is astir with beautiful words: I will sing a song, concerning the king, with tongue like 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.
Your beauty is more than mortal, grace is shed over your lips: therefore God has blessed you forever.
3 Mete nepe Ou sou kwis ou, O (Sila) Ki Pwisan an, nan bèlte Ou avèk majeste Ou!
Warrior, strap your sword on your thigh. What glory and splendor!
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.
Good fortune attend you, as forth you ride in the cause of good faith, and as champion of justice. May your arm instruct you in deeds of dread.
5 Flèch Ou yo filè. Tout nasyon yo tonbe anba Ou, epi flèch Ou yo lantre nan kè lènmi a Wa a.
Sharp are your arrows; nations fall under you: pierced to the heart are the foes of the king.
6 Twòn Ou, O SENYÈ, se pou tout tan e pou tout tan; Baton ladwati a se baton wayal a wayòm Ou an.
Your throne shall endure for ever and ever your royal sceptre a sceptre of equity.
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.
Right you love and wrong you hate: therefore the Lord your God anoints you With oil of gladness above your fellows.
8 Tout vètman Ou yo santi tankou lami, womaren ak sitwonèl. Soti nan palè livwa yo, lenstriman a kòd yo vin fè Ou kontan.
With myrrh, aloes, and cassia your robes are all fragrant, you are gladdened by music of ivory harps.
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.
King’s daughters stand ready with jewels for you, at your right hand 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.
Listen, daughter, and see; and incline your ear: forget your folk and your father’s house.
11 Konsa, wa a va dezire bèlte ou. Akoz li se senyè ou, vin bese ba devan L.
And when the king desires your beauty, bow to him, for he is your lord.
12 Fi Tyr la va vini avèk yon kado. Moun gwo riches pami pèp yo k ap chache favè ou.
So shall the Tyrians come with gifts, and the richest of people will do you homage.
13 Lamarye a wa a bèl nèt anndan. Vètman li trese antre sòti avèk lò.
The king’s daughter is glorious altogether, with dress of pearls inwrought 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.
In many-coloured robes she is led to the king, with the virgin companions she brought in her train.
15 Yo va mennen fè parèt avèk kè kontan ak anpil rejwisans. Yo va antre nan palè a wa a.
The king’s palace they enter with joy and rejoicing.
16 Nan plas a papa zansèt ou yo, va gen fis ou yo. Ou va fè yo prens sou tout latè.
May sons of yours take the place of your fathers, whom you will make princes in all the land.
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.
Your name will I celebrate world without end, so that nations shall praise you for ever and ever.
