Sòm 68
1 Pou direktè koral la; avèk enstriman ak kòd yo. Yon Sòm; Yon Chan Kite Bondye leve! Kite lènmi Li yo vin gaye! Kite (sila) ki rayi Li yo sove ale devan L.
Unto the end. A Canticle Psalm of David himself. May God rise up, and may his enemies be scattered, and may those who hate him flee from before his face.
2 Kon lafimen konn chase, konsa, chase yo. Kon lasi kon fonn devan dife, konsa, kite mechan yo peri devan Bondye.
Just as smoke vanishes, so may they vanish. Just as wax flows away before the face of fire, so may sinners pass away before the face of God.
3 Men kite moun ladwati yo fè kè kontan. Kite yo leve wo devan Bondye. Wi, kite yo rejwi avèk kè kontan.
And so, let the just feast, and let them exult in the sight of God and be delighted in gladness.
4 Chante a Bondye! Chante lwanj a non Li! Leve wo pou (Sila) ki monte sou nwaj yo: non l se SENYÈ a! Rejwi devan Li an!
Sing to God, sing a psalm to his name. Make a path for him, who ascends over the west. The Lord is his name. Exult in his sight; they will be stirred up before his face,
5 Yon papa pou òfelen yo e yon jij pou vèv yo, se Bondye nan lye sen Li an.
the father of orphans and the judge of widows. God is in his holy place.
6 Bondye fè yon fanmi pou (sila) ki pa genyen an. Li fè prizonye yo vin sòti deyò ak chan yo, men rebèl yo viv nan yon peyi deseche.
It is God who makes men dwell in a house under one custom. He leads out those who are strongly bound, and similarly, those who exasperate, who dwell in sepulchers.
7 O Bondye, lè Ou te sòti devan pèp Ou a, lè Ou te mache travèse dezè a,
O God, when you departed in the sight of your people, when you passed through the desert,
8 tè a te souke. Syèl yo tou te lage lapli devan prezans Bondye, prezans Bondye Sinaï lan. Mond la li menm tè a souke devan prezans Bondye a, Bondye Israël la.
the earth was moved, for the heavens rained down before the face of the God of Sinai, before the face of the God of Israel.
9 Ou, Bondye te voye nan tout kote yon gwo lapli. Ou te konfime eritaj Ou lè li te fatige nèt.
You will set aside for your inheritance, O God, a willing rain. And though it was weak, truly, you have made it perfect.
10 Moun pa Ou yo te vin rete ladann. Ou te founi tout bonte Ou pou malere yo, O Bondye.
Your animals will dwell in it. O God, in your sweetness, you have provided for the poor.
11 Senyè a te anonce pawòl la. Mesaje ki pwoklame bòn nouvèl yo se yon gwo lame.
The Lord will give the word to evangelizers, along with great virtue.
12 “Wa lame yo sove ale! Yo kouri! Fanm nan rete nan kay la divize piyaj la!
The King of virtue is beloved among the beloved. And the beauty of the house will divide spoils.
13 Lè ou kouche nan pak mouton yo, se tankou zèl toutrèl ki kouvri ak ajan e plim li ak lò briyan.
If you take your rest in the midst of the clergy, you will be like a dove whose wings are covered with fine silver and edged with pale gold.
14 Lè Toupwisan an te gaye wa yo la a, Nèj t ap tonbe sou Tsalmon.
When heaven discerns kings to be over her, they will be whitened with the snows of Zalmon.
15 Yon mòn Bondye se Mòn Basan. Yon mòn apik e difisil se Mòn Basan.
The mountain of God is a fat mountain, a dense mountain, a thick mountain.
16 Poukisa nou gade ak anvi, O tout lòt mòn yo? Sou mòn ke Bondye te apwente konn abitasyon Li an? Anverite, SENYÈ a va abite la pou tout tan.
So then, why are you distrustful of dense mountains? The mountain on which God is well pleased to dwell, even there, the Lord will dwell until the end.
17 Cha Bondye yo anpil sou milye dè milye. Senyè a pami yo sòti Sinaï, nan sentete Li.
The chariot of God is ten thousand fold: thousands rejoice. The Lord is with them in Sinai, in the holy place.
18 Ou te monte an wo. Ou te mennen kaptif yo sòti. Anplis, Ou te resevwa kado pami lòm, menm pami rebèl yo tou, pou SENYÈ a, Bondye a, kapab abite la.
You have ascended on high; you have taken captivity captive. You have accepted gifts among men. For even those who do not believe dwell with the Lord God.
19 Beni se Senyè a, ki pote fado nou chak jou, Bondye ki se delivrans nou an. Tan
Blessed is the Lord, day after day. The God of our salvation will make our journey prosper for us.
20 Bondye pou nou se yon Bondye delivrans. Epi BONDYE, Senyè a sèl, ki fè nou chape devan lanmò.
Our God is the God who will bring about our salvation, and our Lord is the Lord who has brought an end to death.
21 Anverite, Bondye va kraze tèt lènmi Li yo, tèt la menm ak cheve a (sila) ki pèsiste nan mechanste li yo.
So then, truly, God will break the heads of his enemies, the hairy skull of those who wander around in their offenses.
22 Senyè a te di: “Mwen va mennen fè yo sòti Basan. Mwen va mennen yo retounen jis rive nan fon lanmè a,
The Lord said: I will turn them away from Bashan, I will turn them into the depths of the sea,
23 pou pye ou kapab kraze yo bay san, jis lang chen ou yo kapab jwenn pòsyon pa yo sou lènmi a.”
so that your feet may be soaked in the blood of your enemies, so that the tongue of your dogs may be soaked with the same.
24 Yo te wè pwosesyon solanèl Ou a, O Bondye, pwosesyon a Bondye mwen an, Wa mwen, pou antre nan sanktiyè a.
O God, they have seen your arrival, the arrival of my God, of my king who is in a holy place.
25 Chantè yo te ale, e mizisyen yo te swiv, nan mitan a jenn fi ki t ap bat tanbouren yo.
The leaders went ahead, united with the singers of psalms, in the midst of girls playing on timbrels.
26 Beni Bondye nan asanble yo, SENYÈ a menm, fontèn dlo Israël la.
In the churches, bless the Lord God from the fountains of Israel.
27 Men gade Benjamin, pi piti an Israël la, k ap renye sou yo, prens a Juda ki konseyè yo, prens Zabulon ak prens a Nephthali yo.
In that place, Benjamin is a youth in ecstasy of mind. The leaders of Judah are their governors: the leaders of Zebulun, the leaders of Naphtali.
28 Bondye ou a te kòmande fòs Ou. Montre Ou dyanm, O Bondye, nan sa Ou te fè pou nou menm.
Command by your virtue, O God. Confirm in this place, O God, what you have wrought in us.
29 Akoz tanp Jérusalem Ou a, wa yo va mennen kado bay Ou.
Before your temple in Jerusalem, kings will offer gifts to you.
30 Repwoche bèt sovaj yo nan mitan wozo a, twoupo towo yo avèk ti bèf a pèp yo. Foule anba pye gwo bout pyès ajan yo. Gaye pèp ki te renmen fè lagè yo.
Rebuke the wild beasts of the reeds, a congregation of bulls with the cows of the people, for they seek to exclude those who have been tested like silver. Scatter the nations that are pleased by wars.
31 Prens yo va sòti an Égypte. Ethiopie va fè vit pou lonje men l vè Bondye.
Ambassadors will come out of Egypt. Ethiopia will offer in advance her hands to God.
32 Chante a Bondye, O wayòm sou latè yo, Chante lwanj a Senyè a, Tan
Sing to God, O kingdoms of the earth. Sing psalms to the Lord. Sing psalms to God.
33 A (Sila) ki vwayaje monte sou pi wo syèl la, ki la depi nan tan ansyen yo. Gade byen, Li pale ak gwo vwa, yon vwa plen pwisans.
He ascends, up to the heaven of the heavens, toward the east. Behold, he will utter his voice, the voice of virtue.
34 Rekonèt fòs Bondye a! Majeste Li sou tout Israël, pwisans Li nan syèl yo.
Give glory to God beyond Israel. His magnificence and his virtue is in the clouds.
35 O Bondye, Ou etonnan nan sanktiyè Ou yo. Bondye Israël la ki bay fòs ak pouvwa a pèp Li yo. Beni se Bondye!
God is wonderful in his saints. The God of Israel himself will give virtue and strength to his people. Blessed is God.
