Sòm 90
1 Yon priyè Moïse; Moun Bondye a. Senyè, se te kote Ou, lakay nou te ye pandan tout jenerasyon yo.
YHWH, thou hast been our dwelling place in all generations.
2 Avan mòn yo te vin parèt, oswa Ou te bay nesans a mond lan avèk tè a, menm pou tout tan e pou tout tan, Ou se Bondye.
Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever thou hadst formed the earth and the world, even from everlasting to everlasting, thou art El.
3 Ou fè lòm retounen nan pousyè a, epi di: “Retounen, O pitit a lòm yo.”
Thou turnest man to destruction; and sayest, Return, ye children of men.
4 Paske mil ane devan zye Ou se tankou ayè lè l fenk pase, oswa tankou yon veye lannwit lan.
For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.
5 Ou bale yo ale pandan y ap dòmi.
Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the morning they are like grass which groweth up.
6 Nan maten, yo vin tankou yon chan zèb nèf ki fènk leve. Vè aswè, chan an febli e fennen nèt ale.
In the morning it flourisheth, and groweth up; in the evening it is cut down, and withereth.
7 Paske nou fin manje nèt akoz kòlè Ou. E akoz kòlè Ou, nou boulvèse nèt.
For we are consumed by thine anger, and by thy wrath are we troubled.
8 Ou te mete inikite nou yo devan Ou. Peche ki kache yo vin parèt nan limyè prezans Ou.
Thou hast set our iniquities before thee, our secret sins in the light of thy countenance.
9 Paske tout jou nou yo pase nan gran kòlè Ou. Ane nou yo ap fini kon souf.
For all our days are passed away in thy wrath: we spend our years as a tale that is told.
10 Pou jou lavi nou yo, yo gen swasann-dizan, oswa akoz gwo fòs, katre-ventan. Men ògèy a jou sa yo se sèlman kòve ak tristès. Paske byen vit li prale, e nou vole ale.
The days of our years are threescore years and ten; and if by reason of strength they be fourscore years, yet is their strength labour and sorrow; for it is soon cut off, and we fly away.
11 Se kilès ki konprann fòs a kòlè Ou a? Avèk gwo kòlè Ou, selon krent ke Ou merite a?
Who knoweth the power of thine anger? even according to thy fear, so is thy wrath.
12 Pou sa, montre nou jan pou konte jou nou yo, pou nou kab ofri Ou yon kè ki plen sajès.
So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.
13 Lache, O SENYÈ! Konbyen tan sa va ye? Pran sa akè pou kòz sèvitè ou yo!
Return, O YHWH, how long? and let it repent thee concerning thy servants.
14 O fè nou satisfè nan maten avèk lanmou dous Ou a, pou nou kab chante ak jwa e fè kè kontan pandan tout jou nou yo.
O satisfy us early with thy mercy; that we may rejoice and be glad all our days.
15 Fè nou rejwi pou menm kantite jou ke Ou te aflije nou yo, tout ane ke nou te wè mal yo.
Make us glad according to the days wherein thou hast afflicted us, and the years wherein we have seen evil.
16 Kite zèv Ou yo vin parèt a sèvitè Ou yo, akmajeste Ou a pitit yo.
Let thy work appear unto thy servants, and thy glory unto their children.
17 Kite favè SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, vini sou nou, epi konfime pou nou menm, zèv men nou yo. Wi, konfime zèv men nou yo.
And let the beauty of YHWH our Elohim be upon us: and establish thou the work of our hands upon us; yea, the work of our hands establish thou it.
