Sòm 75

1 Pou direktè koral la; pou jwe a melodi “Pa Detwi” Yon Sòm Asaph, yon Chanson Nou bay remèsiman a Ou menm, O Bondye, Nou bay remèsiman, paske Non Ou toupre. Moun yo fè deklarasyon zèv mèvèy Ou yo.

To the Chief Musician. "Do not Destroy." A Melody of Asaph, a Song. We have given thanks unto thee, O God, we have given thanks, And, in calling upon thy Name, men have recounted thy wonders.

2 “Lè Mwen menm fikse yon tan ki apwente, Mwen va jije avèk jistis.

Surely I will take a set time, —I, with equity, will judge:

3 Latè avèk tout sa ki ladann souke. Se Mwen menm ki kenbe pilye li yo.” Tan

Earth was melting away with all its inhabitants, I, have fixed the pillars thereof. (Selah)

4 Mwen te di a awogan yo: “Pa vin ògeye!” A mechan an: “Pa leve kòn nan.

I have said to the boasters, Do not boast, And to the lawless, Do not lift up a horn;

5 Pa leve kòn ou anwo. Pa pale kou rèd avèk ògèy ensolan.”

Do not lift up on high your horn, Nor speak of the Rock, with arrogance;

6 Paske ni sòti nan lès, ni nan lwès, ni bò kote dezè a, kab gen fòs pou leve moun anwo;

For neither from east nor west, Nor from the wilderness of the mountains [cometh exaltation];

7 Men Bondye se jij la. Li fè yon moun desann, e li leve yon lòt fè l wo.

For, God himself, is about to judge, One, he will cast down, Another, he will lift up;

8 Paske gen yon tas nan men SENYÈ a, e diven an ap kimen. Li byen mele e Bondye vide fè l sòti ladann. Anverite, tout mechan yo oblije bwè l jis rive nan dènye ti gout li.

For, a cup, is in the hand of Yahweh, Whose wine is foaming, It is full of spiced wine, Which he hath caused to flow from one to another, —Surely, the dregs thereof, they shall drain out—they shall drink, Even all the lawless ones of the earth.

9 Men pou mwen, mwen va deklare sa, jis pou tout tan. Mwen va chante lwanj a Bondye Jacob la.

But, I, will exult unto times age-abiding, I will sing praises unto the God of Jacob;

10 Tout kòn a mechan yo, Mwen va koupe fè yo sòti nèt. Men kòn a moun ladwati yo va leve wo.

But, all the horns of the lawless, will I hew off, —Exalted shall be the horns of the Righteous One.
