Psalms 81
1 To the chief Musician. Upon the Gittith. [A Psalm] of Asaph. Sing ye joyously unto God our strength, shout aloud unto the God of Jacob;
Pou chèf sanba yo. Se sou lè chante yo chante lè y'ap kraze rezen. Se yon sòm Asaf. Chante ak kè kontan pou Bondye ki tout defans nou! Fè fèt pou Bondye Jakòb la!
2 Raise a song, and sound the tambour, the pleasant harp with the lute.
Konmanse chante a. Bat tanbouren yo! Jwe bèl mizik sou gita ak bandjo yo.
3 Blow the trumpet at the new moon, at the set time, on our feast day:
Kònen twonpèt pou anonse fèt la, lè lalin lan nouvèl, ak lè li plenn!
4 For this is a statute for Israel, an ordinance of the God of Jacob;
Se yon lwa nan peyi Izrayèl, se yon lòd Bondye Jakòb la bay!
5 He ordained it in Joseph [for] a testimony, when he went forth over the land of Egypt, [where] I heard a language that I knew not.
Bondye te fè sa tounen yon lwa pou pitit pitit Jozèf yo lè li te fè yo soti nan peyi Lejip la. Mwen tande yon vwa mwen pa rekonèt ki di m' konsa:
6 I removed his shoulder from the burden; his hands were freed from the basket.
Se mwen ki te wete gwo chay lou ki te sou zepòl nou an. Se mwen ki te fè nou mete panyen yo atè.
7 Thou calledst in trouble, and I delivered thee; I answered thee in the secret place of thunder; I proved thee at the waters of Meribah. (Selah)
Lè nou te anba tray, nou te rele m', mwen te delivre nou. Mwen reponn nou nan loraj kote m' te kache a. Mwen te vle wè sou ki pye nou ye avè m', lè nou te bò sous dlo Meriba a.
8 Hear, my people, and I will testify unto thee; O Israel, if thou wouldest hearken unto me!
Koute m' non lè m'ap avèti nou, pèp mwen! Pèp Izrayèl, poukisa nou pa vle koute m'!
9 There shall no strange god be in thee, neither shalt thou worship any foreign god.
Piga nou janm sèvi lòt bondye, piga nou janm adore bondye lòt nasyon yo!
10 I am Jehovah thy God, that brought thee up out of the land of Egypt: open thy mouth wide, and I will fill it.
Se mwen menm ki Seyè a, Bondye nou an. Se mwen menm ki te fè nou kite peyi Lejip la. Louvri bouch nou, m'a plen l' ak pawòl mwen!
11 But my people hearkened not to my voice, and Israel would none of me.
Men, pèp mwen an pa koute m'. Pèp Izrayèl la pa obeyi m'.
12 So I gave them up unto their own hearts' stubbornness: they walked after their own counsels.
Lè m' wè sa, mwen kite yo swiv lide yo te gen nan tèt yo, mwen kite yo fè tou sa yo te vle fè.
13 Oh that my people had hearkened unto me, that Israel had walked in my ways!
Ayayay! Si pèp mwen an te vle koute m'. Si pèp Izrayèl la te vle obeyi mwen!
14 I would soon have subdued their enemies, and turned my hand against their adversaries.
Anvan yo ta bat je yo, mwen ta fè lènmi yo wont, mwen ta kraze tout lènmi yo.
15 The haters of Jehovah would have come cringing unto him; but their time would have been for ever.
Moun ki rayi Seyè a ta vin flate yo. Pèp Izrayèl la t'ap alèz pou tout tan.
16 And he would have fed them with the finest of wheat; yea, with honey out of the rock would I have satisfied thee.
Mwen ta ba yo pi bon kalite manje pou yo manje. Mwen ta plen vant yo ak bon siwo myèl ki soti nan twou wòch!
