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.
For Jeduthun, the music director. A psalm of Asaph. I cry out to God for help—I even shout. If only he would listen 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.
When I was in trouble I prayed to the Lord. All night long I stretched out my hands to him in prayer but nothing brought me any comfort.
3 Lè mwen sonje Bondye, alò, lespri m twouble. Mwen fè soupi; lespri m febli nèt.
I thought about God, groaning loudly; I meditated on him, but I was discouraged. (Selah)
4 Ou te kenbe zye mwen yo louvri. Mwen tèlman twouble ke m pa kab pale.
You stop me going to sleep; I'm so upset I can't even talk.
5 Mwen te reflechi sou jou lansyen yo, ane lontan yo.
I think of the old days, years ago.
6 Chanson mwen, mwen va sonje pandan lannwit. Mwen reflechi tout tan nan kè mwen. Lespri m reflechi jis rive nan fon kè m:
I remember the songs I sung in the night. I meditate and ask myself:
7 “Èske Senyè a va rejte nou pou tout tan? Èske Li p ap janm kite favè Li vini sou nou ankò?
Has the Lord given up on me forever? Won't he ever be pleased with me again?
8 Èske lanmou dous Li a kite nou pou tout tan? Èske pwomès Li yo fini nèt?
Has his trustworthy love disappeared forever? Have his promises permanently ended?
9 Èske Bondye te bliye gras Li, Oswa nan kòlè Li, èske Li te retire mizerikòd Li a?” Tan
Has God forgotten to be kind? Has he angrily slammed the door shut on his compassion? (Selah)
10 Epi mwen te di: “Se chagren mwen ki fè m panse men dwat a Wo Pwisan an vin chanje.”
Then I said, “This is what hurts me the most: the Most High doesn't treat me the way he used to.”
11 Mwen va sonje zèv SENYÈ yo. Anverite, Mwen va sonje mèvèy Ou yo nan tan ansyen yo.
I remember what you have done, Lord; I remember all the wonderful things you did long ago.
12 Mwen va reflechi tout tan sou tout zèv Ou yo, pou m sonje nan kè m tout sa Ou te fè.
I will think about all you have accomplished; I will think deeply about how you have acted.
13 Chemen Ou a, O Bondye, se apa. Ki dye ki gran tankou Bondye pa nou an?
God, your ways are holy; is any god as great as you?
14 Ou se Bondye ki fè zèv mèvèy. Ou te fè pwisans Ou rekonèt pami pèp yo.
You are the God who does wonderful things! You have revealed your power to the nations.
15 Avèk pwòp pouvwa Ou, Ou te rachte pèp Ou a, fis a Jacob yo avèk Joseph. Tan
Through your strength you saved your people, the descendants of Jacob and Joseph. (Selah)
16 Dlo yo te wè Ou, O Bondye. Dlo yo te wè Ou. Yo te nan gran doulè. Anplis, fon yo te boulvèse.
When the waters saw you, God, when they looked they trembled! Yes, they shook down to the very depths!
17 Nwaj yo te vide gwo dlo. Syèl yo te bay gwo kout loray. Flèch Ou yo te lime pa isit e pa lòtbò.
The clouds poured rain down; the skies crashed with thunder; your lightning flew like arrows.
18 Bwi tonnè a eklate nan toubiyon an. Loray yo te klere tout tè a. Mond lan te tranble. Li te souke.
Your thunder rumbled from the whirlwind; lightning flashes lit up the world; the earth quaked and shook.
19 Chemen Ou an te nan lanmè a, e vwa Ou nan dlo pwisan yo. Kote Ou mache p ap kab dekouvri menm.
Your way led through the sea; your path passed through the deep sea; yet your footprints were invisible.
20 Ou te dirije pèp Ou a tankou yon bann, pa men Moïse avèk Aaron.
You led your people like a flock, shepherded by Moses and Aaron.
