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, a habitation Thou — Thou hast been, To us — in generation and generation,
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 mountains were brought forth, And Thou dost form the earth and the world, Even from age unto age Thou [art] God.
3 Ou fè lòm retounen nan pousyè a, epi di: “Retounen, O pitit a lòm yo.”
Thou turnest man unto a bruised thing, And sayest, Turn back, ye sons 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 Thine eyes [are] as yesterday, For it passeth on, yea, a watch by night.
5 Ou bale yo ale pandan y ap dòmi.
Thou hast inundated them, they are asleep, In the morning as grass he changeth.
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 hath changed, At evening it is cut down, and hath withered.
7 Paske nou fin manje nèt akoz kòlè Ou. E akoz kòlè Ou, nou boulvèse nèt.
For we were consumed in Thine anger, And in Thy fury we have been 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 hidden things at the light of Thy face,
9 Paske tout jou nou yo pase nan gran kòlè Ou. Ane nou yo ap fini kon souf.
For all our days pined away in Thy wrath, We consumed our years as a (meditation)
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.
Days of our years, in them [are] seventy years, And if, by reason of might, eighty years, Yet [is] their enlargement labour and vanity, For it hath been cut off hastily, 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? And according to Thy fear — Thy wrath?
12 Pou sa, montre nou jan pou konte jou nou yo, pou nou kab ofri Ou yon kè ki plen sajès.
To number our days aright let [us] know, And we bring the heart to wisdom.
13 Lache, O SENYÈ! Konbyen tan sa va ye? Pran sa akè pou kòz sèvitè ou yo!
Turn back, O Jehovah, till when? And repent 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.
Satisfy us at morn [with] Thy kindness, And we sing and rejoice 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.
Cause us to rejoice according to the days Wherein Thou hast afflicted us, The years 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 Thine honour on their sons.
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 pleasantness of Jehovah our God be upon us, And the work of our hands establish on us, Yea, the work of our hands establish it!
