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.
For the leader. Of David. A psalm. A song. God arises, his enemies scatter: they who hate him flee before him.
2 Kon lafimen konn chase, konsa, chase yo. Kon lasi kon fonn devan dife, konsa, kite mechan yo peri devan Bondye.
As smoke before wind is driven, as wax melts before fire, so before God vanish the wicked.
3 Men kite moun ladwati yo fè kè kontan. Kite yo leve wo devan Bondye. Wi, kite yo rejwi avèk kè kontan.
But the righteous rejoice in God’s presence, they exult with exceeding joy.
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, make music to his name, his name is the Lord, praise him who rides on the clouds, and exult in his presence.
5 Yon papa pou òfelen yo e yon jij pou vèv yo, se Bondye nan lye sen Li an.
Father of orphans, defender of widows, is God in his holy abode.
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.
God brings home the lonely, he leads forth the prisoner to comfort, so that none but the rebel lives cheerless.
7 O Bondye, lè Ou te sòti devan pèp Ou a, lè Ou te mache travèse dezè a,
God, when you went in front of your people in your march through the desert, (Selah)
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.
earth shook, the heavens poured rain at the presence of God, Sinai’s God at the presence of God, Israel’s God.
9 Ou, Bondye te voye nan tout kote yon gwo lapli. Ou te konfime eritaj Ou lè li te fatige nèt.
Rain in abundance, God, you did sprinkle, restoring the languishing land of your heritage.
10 Moun pa Ou yo te vin rete ladann. Ou te founi tout bonte Ou pou malere yo, O Bondye.
A dwelling therein your people found: in your goodness, O God, you did care for the poor.
11 Senyè a te anonce pawòl la. Mesaje ki pwoklame bòn nouvèl yo se yon gwo lame.
The Lord spoke the glad tidings of victory, a great army of women proclaim it:
12 “Wa lame yo sove ale! Yo kouri! Fanm nan rete nan kay la divize piyaj la!
‘Kings of armies they flee, they flee, and the housewife divides the spoil:
13 Lè ou kouche nan pak mouton yo, se tankou zèl toutrèl ki kouvri ak ajan e plim li ak lò briyan.
dove’s wings covered with silver and pinions with shimmer of gold,
14 Lè Toupwisan an te gaye wa yo la a, Nèj t ap tonbe sou Tsalmon.
set with stones, like snow upon Zalmon.’
15 Yon mòn Bondye se Mòn Basan. Yon mòn apik e difisil se Mòn Basan.
A mountain of God is the mountain of Bashan, a mountain of peaks is the mountain of Bashan.
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.
You high-peaked mountains, why look you askance at the mountain which God has desired for his home whereon the Lord will live forever?
17 Cha Bondye yo anpil sou milye dè milye. Senyè a pami yo sòti Sinaï, nan sentete Li.
The chariots of God are twice ten thousand: the Lord came from Sinai, his 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 did mount the height with trains of your captives, and gifts that you had received from the people. The rebels shall live with the Lord God.
19 Beni se Senyè a, ki pote fado nou chak jou, Bondye ki se delivrans nou an. Tan
Blest be the Lord who sustains us daily, the God who is also our saviour. (Selah)
20 Bondye pou nou se yon Bondye delivrans. Epi BONDYE, Senyè a sèl, ki fè nou chape devan lanmò.
Our God is a God who is saviour. The ways of escape from death are known to the Lord God.
21 Anverite, Bondye va kraze tèt lènmi Li yo, tèt la menm ak cheve a (sila) ki pèsiste nan mechanste li yo.
Yes, God will shatter the head of his foes the rough scalp of those who strut on in their sins.
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 bring you home from Bashan, home from 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.”
that your feet you may bathe in blood, and your dogs lick their share of the foe.’
24 Yo te wè pwosesyon solanèl Ou a, O Bondye, pwosesyon a Bondye mwen an, Wa mwen, pou antre nan sanktiyè a.
In the temple appear God’s triumphal processions, processions in praise of my king and my God,
25 Chantè yo te ale, e mizisyen yo te swiv, nan mitan a jenn fi ki t ap bat tanbouren yo.
with singers in front, and minstrels behind, and maidens with timbrels between them, singing,
26 Beni Bondye nan asanble yo, SENYÈ a menm, fontèn dlo Israël la.
‘You of the well-spring of Israel, bless the Lord God in the dance.’
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.
There, in front, is Benjamin the little, the princes of Judah beside them, the princes of Zebulon, princes of Naphtali.
28 Bondye ou a te kòmande fòs Ou. Montre Ou dyanm, O Bondye, nan sa Ou te fè pou nou menm.
God, show your strength, your godlike might, as you did in the past,
29 Akoz tanp Jérusalem Ou a, wa yo va mennen kado bay Ou.
from your temple that crowns Jerusalem. Kings shall bring tribute 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 beast of the reed, the herd of bulls, with the calves of the peoples. Trample down the lovers of lies. Scatter the nations whose joy is in war.
31 Prens yo va sòti an Égypte. Ethiopie va fè vit pou lonje men l vè Bondye.
May they come from Egypt with gifts of oil, Ethiopia haste with full hands to God.
32 Chante a Bondye, O wayòm sou latè yo, Chante lwanj a Senyè a, Tan
Sing to God, O you kingdoms of earth, make melody to the Lord. (Selah)
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.
Praise him who rides on the ancient heavens. See! He utters his voice, his mighty voice.
34 Rekonèt fòs Bondye a! Majeste Li sou tout Israël, pwisans Li nan syèl yo.
Ascribe strength to the God over Israel, whose strength and majesty live in the skies.
35 O Bondye, Ou etonnan nan sanktiyè Ou yo. Bondye Israël la ki bay fòs ak pouvwa a pèp Li yo. Beni se Bondye!
Awe-inspiring is God in his holy place, it is Israel’s God who gives strength and might to his people. Blessed be God.
