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.
I cry out to God; I cry aloud to him, and he hears 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.
Whenever have trouble, I pray to the Lord; all during the night I lift up my hands while I pray, [but] nothing causes me to be comforted.
3 Lè mwen sonje Bondye, alò, lespri m twouble. Mwen fè soupi; lespri m febli nèt.
When I think about God, I (despair/think that he will never help me); when I meditate about him, I am discouraged.
4 Ou te kenbe zye mwen yo louvri. Mwen tèlman twouble ke m pa kab pale.
[All during the night] he prevents me from sleeping; I am very worried, with the result that I do not know what to say.
5 Mwen te reflechi sou jou lansyen yo, ane lontan yo.
I think about days that have passed; I remember [what happened in] previous 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:
I spend the whole night thinking [about things]; I meditate, and this is what I ask myself:
7 “Èske Senyè a va rejte nou pou tout tan? Èske Li p ap janm kite favè Li vini sou nou ankò?
“Will the Lord always reject us? Will he never again be pleased with us?
8 Èske lanmou dous Li a kite nou pou tout tan? Èske pwomès Li yo fini nèt?
Has he stopped faithfully loving us? Will he not do for us what he promised to do?
9 Èske Bondye te bliye gras Li, Oswa nan kòlè Li, èske Li te retire mizerikòd Li a?” Tan
God promised to be merciful to us; has he forgotten that? Because he is angry [with us], has he decided to not be kind to us?”
10 Epi mwen te di: “Se chagren mwen ki fè m panse men dwat a Wo Pwisan an vin chanje.”
Then I said, “What causes me to be [very] sad is that [it seems that] God, who is greater than any other god, is no longer powerful.”
11 Mwen va sonje zèv SENYÈ yo. Anverite, Mwen va sonje mèvèy Ou yo nan tan ansyen yo.
[But then], Yahweh, I recall/remember your great deeds; I remember the wonderful things that you did in the past.
12 Mwen va reflechi tout tan sou tout zèv Ou yo, pou m sonje nan kè m tout sa Ou te fè.
I meditate on all that you have done, and I think about your mighty acts.
13 Chemen Ou a, O Bondye, se apa. Ki dye ki gran tankou Bondye pa nou an?
God, everything that you do is holy; there is certainly no god [RHQ] who is great like you are!
14 Ou se Bondye ki fè zèv mèvèy. Ou te fè pwisans Ou rekonèt pami pèp yo.
You are God, the one who performs miracles; you showed to people of many people-groups that you are powerful.
15 Avèk pwòp pouvwa Ou, Ou te rachte pèp Ou a, fis a Jacob yo avèk Joseph. Tan
By your power [MTY] you rescued your people [from Egypt]; you saved those who were descendants of Jacob and [his son] Joseph.
16 Dlo yo te wè Ou, O Bondye. Dlo yo te wè Ou. Yo te nan gran doulè. Anplis, fon yo te boulvèse.
[It was as though] the waters [of the Red Sea] saw you and became very afraid, and even the deepest part of the water shook.
17 Nwaj yo te vide gwo dlo. Syèl yo te bay gwo kout loray. Flèch Ou yo te lime pa isit e pa lòtbò.
Rain poured down from the clouds [PRS]; it thundered [very loudly] [PRS], and lightning flashed in all directions.
18 Bwi tonnè a eklate nan toubiyon an. Loray yo te klere tout tè a. Mond lan te tranble. Li te souke.
Thunder crashed in the whirlwind, and lightning (lit up/flashed across) the entire sky [HYP]; the earth shook violently [DOU].
19 Chemen Ou an te nan lanmè a, e vwa Ou nan dlo pwisan yo. Kote Ou mache p ap kab dekouvri menm.
[Then] you walked through the sea on a path that you made through the deep water, but your footprints could not be seen.
20 Ou te dirije pèp Ou a tankou yon bann, pa men Moïse avèk Aaron.
You led your people like [a shepherd leads his] flock [of sheep], while Moses and Aaron were the leaders [of your people].
