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.
In my inner being I am stirred by a beautiful message which will be sung to the king. The words of this message will be written with a pen by me, a skilled 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.
[O King], you are the most handsome man in the world, and you always speak [MTY] eloquently, because God has always blessed you.
3 Mete nepe Ou sou kwis ou, O (Sila) Ki Pwisan an, nan bèlte Ou avèk majeste Ou!
You who are a mighty warrior, put on your sword! You are glorious and majestic.
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.
Ride on like a great chief to defend the truth that you speak and the fair decisions that you make! Because you are strong [MTY], you will do awesome deeds.
5 Flèch Ou yo filè. Tout nasyon yo tonbe anba Ou, epi flèch Ou yo lantre nan kè lènmi a Wa a.
Your arrows are sharp, and they pierce the hearts of your enemies. Soldiers of many nations will fall dead at your feet.
6 Twòn Ou, O SENYÈ, se pou tout tan e pou tout tan; Baton ladwati a se baton wayal a wayòm Ou an.
The kingdom [MTY] that God will give to you will remain forever. You rule [MTY] people justly.
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.
You love right actions, and you hate evil actions. Therefore God, your God, has chosen [MTY] you [to be king] and caused you to be happier [MET] than any other king.
8 Tout vètman Ou yo santi tankou lami, womaren ak sitwonèl. Soti nan palè livwa yo, lenstriman a kòd yo vin fè Ou kontan.
The perfume of various spices is on your robes. [People] (entertain you/make you happy) in ivory palaces by playing stringed instruments.
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.
Among the women who stay near you [EUP] stay are daughters of [other] kings. And at your right hand stands [your bride], the queen, wearing beautiful ornaments of gold that comes from Ophir.
10 Koute byen, O fi, prete atansyon e panche zòrèy ou. Bliye pèp ou a avèk lakay papa ou.
[Now I will say something] to your bride: Listen to me carefully [DOU]! Forget the people who live in your home country, forget your relatives!
11 Konsa, wa a va dezire bèlte ou. Akoz li se senyè ou, vin bese ba devan L.
Because you are [very], the king will desire [to sleep with] [EUP] you. He is your master, so you must obey him.
12 Fi Tyr la va vini avèk yon kado. Moun gwo riches pami pèp yo k ap chache favè ou.
The people from Tyre [city] will bring gifts to you; their rich people will try to persuade you to do favors for them.
13 Lamarye a wa a bèl nèt anndan. Vètman li trese antre sòti avèk lò.
[O king], your bride will be entering the palace wearing beautiful robes made from gold thread.
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.
While she is wearing a gown that has many colors, her companions will lead her to you. She will have many other young women who accompany her.
15 Yo va mennen fè parèt avèk kè kontan ak anpil rejwisans. Yo va antre nan palè a wa a.
They will be very joyful [DOU] as they are led along to enter your palace.
16 Nan plas a papa zansèt ou yo, va gen fis ou yo. Ou va fè yo prens sou tout latè.
Some day, your sons and your grandsons will become kings, just like your ancestors were. You will enable them to become rulers in many countries [HYP].
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.
And as for me, I will enable people in every generation to remember the great things that you [MTY] have done, and people will praise you forever.
