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.

The song of salm, of the sones of Chore. The Lord is greet, and worthi to be preisid ful myche; in the citee of oure God, in the hooli hil of hym.

2 Bèl nan wotè li, jwa tout latè a, se Mòn Sion nan pati nò a, Vil gran Wa a.

It is foundid in the ful out ioiyng of al erthe; the hil of Syon; the sidis of the north, the citee of the greet kyng.

3 Bondye te parèt nan sitadèl li yo. La, Li te fè tèt Li rekonèt kon yon refij.

God schal be knowun in the housis therof; whanne he schal take it.

4 Men gade, wa yo te rasanble yo. Yo pase akote vil la ansanm.

For lo! the kyngis of erthe weren gaderid togidere; thei camen into o place.

5 Yo te wè li, e yo te etone. Yo te sezi nèt, yo te kouri nan laperèz.

Thei seynge so wondriden; thei weren disturblid, thei weren mouyd togidere, tremblyng took hem.

6 La, yo pèdi ekilib yo nèt. Doulè ak sezisman te pran yo tankou fanm k ap akouche.

There sorewis as of a womman trauelynge of child;

7 Avèk van lès la, Ou te kraze bato Tarsis yo.

in a greet spirit thou schalt al to-breke the schippis of Tharsis.

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 we herden, so we sien, in the citee of the Lord of vertues, in the citee of oure God; God hath foundid that citee with outen ende.

9 Nou te reflechi sou lanmou dous Ou a, O Bondye, nan mitan tanp Ou a.

God, we han resseyued thi mercy; in the myddis of thi 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.

Aftir thi name, God, so thin heriyng is spred abrood in to the endis of erthe; thi riyt hond is ful of riytfulnesse.

11 Kite Mòn Sion fè kè kontan! Kite fi a Juda yo rejwi akoz jijman Ou yo.

The hil of Sion be glad, and the douytris of Judee be fulli ioiful; for thi domes, Lord.

12 Mache toupatou nan Sion e antoure li. Konte fò wo li yo.

Cumpasse ye Syon, and biclippe ye it; telle ye in the touris therof.

13 Konsidere ranpa li yo. Antre nan palè li yo, pou ou kab pale jenerasyon k ap vini an.

Sette ye youre hertis in the vertu of him; and departe ye the housis of hym, that ye telle out in an other generacioun.

14 Paske Bondye se Bondye pa nou an jis pou tout tan. Li va gide nou jiska lanmò.

For this is God, oure God, in to withouten ende, and in to the world of world; he schal gouerne vs in to worldis.
