Sòm 48
1 Yon Chan; yon Sòm fis a Koré yo. Gran se Bondye e gran se lwanj Li merite a, nan Jérusalem, vil Bondye nou an, mòn sen pa Li a.
A Song. A Psalm. Of the sons of Korah. Great is the Lord and greatly to be praised, in the town of our God, in his holy mountain.
2 Bèl nan wotè li, jwa tout latè a, se Mòn Sion nan pati nò a, Vil gran Wa a.
Beautiful in its high position, the joy of all the earth, is the mountain of Zion, the mountain of God, the town of the great King.
3 Bondye te parèt nan sitadèl li yo. La, Li te fè tèt Li rekonèt kon yon refij.
In its buildings God is seen to be a high tower.
4 Men gade, wa yo te rasanble yo. Yo pase akote vil la ansanm.
For see! the kings came together by agreement, they were joined together.
5 Yo te wè li, e yo te etone. Yo te sezi nèt, yo te kouri nan laperèz.
They saw it, and so were full of wonder; they were troubled, and went quickly away in fear.
6 La, yo pèdi ekilib yo nèt. Doulè ak sezisman te pran yo tankou fanm k ap akouche.
Shaking came on them and pain, as on a woman in childbirth.
7 Avèk van lès la, Ou te kraze bato Tarsis yo.
By you the ships of Tarshish are broken as by an east wind.
8 Jan nou konn tande a, se konsa nou vin wè, nan vil SENYÈ dèzame yo, nan vil Bondye pa nou an. Bondye va etabli li nèt, jis pou tout tan.
As it came to our ears so have we seen it, in the town of the Lord of armies, in the town of our God; God will keep it fixed for ever. (Selah)
9 Nou te reflechi sou lanmou dous Ou a, O Bondye, nan mitan tanp Ou a.
Our thoughts were of your mercy, O God, while we were in your Temple.
10 Jan non Ou ye a, O Bondye, Se konsa Lwanj Ou ye, jis rive nan dènye pwent tè a; Men dwat Ou plen ladwati.
As your name is, O God, so is your praise to the ends of the earth; your right hand is full of righteousness.
11 Kite Mòn Sion fè kè kontan! Kite fi a Juda yo rejwi akoz jijman Ou yo.
Let there be joy in the mountain of Zion, and let the daughters of Judah be glad, because of your wise decisions.
12 Mache toupatou nan Sion e antoure li. Konte fò wo li yo.
Make your way about Zion, and go round it, numbering its towers.
13 Konsidere ranpa li yo. Antre nan palè li yo, pou ou kab pale jenerasyon k ap vini an.
Take note of its strong walls, looking well at its fair buildings; so that you may give word of it to the generation which comes after.
14 Paske Bondye se Bondye pa nou an jis pou tout tan. Li va gide nou jiska lanmò.
Because this God is our God for ever and ever: he will be our guide.
