Sòm 90
1 Yon priyè Moïse; Moun Bondye a. Senyè, se te kote Ou, lakay nou te ye pandan tout jenerasyon yo.
A prayer of Moses the man of God. Lord, you have been our refuge throughout 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 formed, or you formed the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting, you are God.
3 Ou fè lòm retounen nan pousyè a, epi di: “Retounen, O pitit a lòm yo.”
You return man to dust, and you say, “Return, you descendants of mankind.”
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 your sight are as yesterday when it is past, and as a watch in the night.
5 Ou bale yo ale pandan y ap dòmi.
You sweep them away as with a flood and they sleep; in the morning they are like the grass that sprouts 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 blooms and grows up; in the evening it withers and dries up.
7 Paske nou fin manje nèt akoz kòlè Ou. E akoz kòlè Ou, nou boulvèse nèt.
Truly, we are consumed in your anger, and in your wrath we are terrified.
8 Ou te mete inikite nou yo devan Ou. Peche ki kache yo vin parèt nan limyè prezans Ou.
You have set our iniquities before you, our hidden sins in the light of your presence.
9 Paske tout jou nou yo pase nan gran kòlè Ou. Ane nou yo ap fini kon souf.
Our life passes away under your wrath; our years quickly pass like a sigh.
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.
Our years are seventy, or even eighty if we are healthy; but even our best years are marked by trouble and sorrow. Yes, they pass quickly, 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 knows the intensity of your anger, and your wrath that is equal to the fear of you?
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 consider our life so that we might live wisely.
13 Lache, O SENYÈ! Konbyen tan sa va ye? Pran sa akè pou kòz sèvitè ou yo!
Turn back, Yahweh! How long will it be? Have pity on your 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.
Satisfy us in the morning with your covenant faithfulness so 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 in proportion to the days you afflicted us and to the years we have experienced trouble.
16 Kite zèv Ou yo vin parèt a sèvitè Ou yo, akmajeste Ou a pitit yo.
Let your servants see your work, and let our children see your majesty.
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.
May the favor of the Lord our God be ours; prosper the work of our hands; indeed, prosper the work of our hands.
