Sòm 84
1 Pou direktè koral la; sou gitia la. Yon Sòm a fis a Koré yo. A la abitasyon Ou yo bèl, O SENYÈ dèzame yo!
How yadid ·lovely· are your dwellings, Adonai Tzva'ot [Yahweh Commander of heaven’s armies]!
2 Nanm mwen anvi e menm gen gwo dezi pou lakou SENYÈ a. Kè m ak chè m chante avèk jwa a Bondye vivan an.
My soul longs, and even faints for the courts of Adonai. My heart and my flesh cry out for the Elohim Chayim [Living God].
3 Zwazo a osi te twouve yon kay, e iwondèl la yon nich pou li menm, kote li kapab swaye pitit li yo pre lòtel Ou yo, Oh Wa m ak Bondye m.
Yes, the sparrow has found a home, and the swallow a nest for herself, where she may have her young, near your altars, Adonai Tzva'ot [Yahweh Commander of heaven’s armies], my King, and my God.
4 A la beni (sila) ki demere nan lakay Ou yo beni! Y ap ba Ou lwanj jis pou tout tan.
Blessed are those who dwell in your house. They are always praising you. (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·.
5 A la beni nonm ki gen fòs li nan Ou, Nan kè a (sila) lide fè wout nan gran chemen vè Sion an ye.
Blessed are those whose strength is in you; who have set their hearts on a pilgrimage.
6 Lè yo pase nan vale Baca a, yo fè l fè yon sous; Premye lapli a kouvri li avèk benediksyon.
Passing through the valley of Weeping, they make it a place of springs. Yes, the autumn rain covers it with blessings.
7 Yo sòti nan fòs pou antre nan fòs yo. Yo chak parèt devan Bondye nan Sion.
They go from strength to strength. Everyone of them appears before God in Zion [Mountain ridge, Marking].
8 O SENYÈ dèzame yo, tande lapriyè mwen. Prete zorèy Ou, O Bondye Jacob la! Tan
Adonai, Elohim Tzva'ot [Yahweh, God Commander of heaven’s armies], sh'ma ·hear obey·, my prayer. Give ear to me, God of Jacob [Supplanter]. (Selah) ·contemplation with musical interlude·.
9 Gade byen boukliye nou an. Gade sou vizaj onksyone Ou a.
Behold, God our shield, look at the face of your anointed.
10 Paske yon sèl jou nan lakou Ou a, pi bon pase mil jou deyò. Pito m te geran pòt lakay Bondye mwen an, pase pou m ta abite nan tant a mechan yo.
For a day in your courts is better than a thousand. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God, than to dwell in the tents of ethical wickedness.
11 Paske SENYÈ a, Bondye a, se yon solèy ak yon boukliye. SENYÈ a va bay gras avèk glwa. Li pa refize anyen ki bon a (sila) ki mache dwat yo.
For Adonai God is a sun and a shield. Adonai will give chen ·grace· and kavod ·weighty glory·. He withholds no good thing from those who walk blamelessly.
12 O SENYÈ dèzame yo! A la moun ki mete konfyans li nan Ou a beni!
Adonai Tzva'ot [Yahweh Commander of heaven’s armies], blessed is the man who trusts in you.
