Sòm 77
1 Pou direktè koral la: pou Jeduthun. Yon Sòm Asaph Vwa m leve vè Bondye! Mwen kriye pou sekou. Vwa m leve vè Bondye pou L tande mwen.
Unto the end, for Idithun, a psalm of Asaph. I cried to the Lord with my voice; to God with my voice, and he gave ear to me.
2 Nan jou gwo twoub mwen an, mwen te chache SENYÈ a. Nan nwit, mwen te lonje men m san poze. Nanm mwen te refize rekonfòte.
In the day of my trouble I sought God, with my hands lifted up to him in the night, and I was not deceived. My soul refused to be comforted:
3 Lè mwen sonje Bondye, alò, lespri m twouble. Mwen fè soupi; lespri m febli nèt.
I remembered God, and was delighted, and was exercised, and my spirit swooned away.
4 Ou te kenbe zye mwen yo louvri. Mwen tèlman twouble ke m pa kab pale.
My eyes prevented the watches: I was troubled, and I spoke not.
5 Mwen te reflechi sou jou lansyen yo, ane lontan yo.
I thought upon the days of old: and I had in my mind the eternal years.
6 Chanson mwen, mwen va sonje pandan lannwit. Mwen reflechi tout tan nan kè mwen. Lespri m reflechi jis rive nan fon kè m:
And I meditated in the night with my own heart: and I was exercised and I swept my spirit.
7 “Èske Senyè a va rejte nou pou tout tan? Èske Li p ap janm kite favè Li vini sou nou ankò?
Will God then cast off for ever? or will he never be more favourable again?
8 Èske lanmou dous Li a kite nou pou tout tan? Èske pwomès Li yo fini nèt?
Or will he cut off his mercy for ever, from generation to generation?
9 Èske Bondye te bliye gras Li, Oswa nan kòlè Li, èske Li te retire mizerikòd Li a?” Tan
Or will God forget to shew mercy? or will he in his anger shut up his mercies?
10 Epi mwen te di: “Se chagren mwen ki fè m panse men dwat a Wo Pwisan an vin chanje.”
And I said, Now have I begun: this is the change of the right hand of the most High.
11 Mwen va sonje zèv SENYÈ yo. Anverite, Mwen va sonje mèvèy Ou yo nan tan ansyen yo.
I remembered the works of the Lord: for I will be mindful of thy wonders from the beginning.
12 Mwen va reflechi tout tan sou tout zèv Ou yo, pou m sonje nan kè m tout sa Ou te fè.
And I will meditate on all thy works: and will be employed in thy inventions.
13 Chemen Ou a, O Bondye, se apa. Ki dye ki gran tankou Bondye pa nou an?
Thy way, O God, is in the holy place: who is the great God like our God?
14 Ou se Bondye ki fè zèv mèvèy. Ou te fè pwisans Ou rekonèt pami pèp yo.
Thou art the God that dost wonders. Thou hast made thy power known among the nations:
15 Avèk pwòp pouvwa Ou, Ou te rachte pèp Ou a, fis a Jacob yo avèk Joseph. Tan
With thy arm thou hast redeemed thy people the children of Jacob and of Joseph.
16 Dlo yo te wè Ou, O Bondye. Dlo yo te wè Ou. Yo te nan gran doulè. Anplis, fon yo te boulvèse.
The waters saw thee, O God, the waters saw thee: and they were afraid, and the depths were troubled.
17 Nwaj yo te vide gwo dlo. Syèl yo te bay gwo kout loray. Flèch Ou yo te lime pa isit e pa lòtbò.
Great was the noise of the waters: the clouds sent out a sound. For thy arrows pass:
18 Bwi tonnè a eklate nan toubiyon an. Loray yo te klere tout tè a. Mond lan te tranble. Li te souke.
The voice of thy thunder in a wheel. Thy lightnings enlightened the world: the earth shook and trembled.
19 Chemen Ou an te nan lanmè a, e vwa Ou nan dlo pwisan yo. Kote Ou mache p ap kab dekouvri menm.
Thy way is in the sea, and thy paths in many waters: and thy footsteps shall not be known.
20 Ou te dirije pèp Ou a tankou yon bann, pa men Moïse avèk Aaron.
Thou hast conducted thy people like sheep, by the hand of Moses and Aaron.
