Sòm 19
1 Pou chèf sanba yo. Se yon sòm David. Syèl la fè parèt aklè pouvwa Bondye a. Li fè wè tou sa Bondye te fè ak men l'.
For the leader. A psalm of David. The heavens declare God’s glory, the sky tells what his hands have done.
2 Jounen jòdi a rakonte koze sa a bay jounen denmen k'ap vini an. Lannwit sa a repete l' bay lannwit ki vin apre a.
Day tells it to day, night reveals it to night,
3 Yo pa pale, yo pa di yon mo. Ou pa tande yon ti bwi.
without speaking, without words; without the sound of voices.
4 Men, sa yo di a mache ale toupatou sou latè. Mesaj y'ap bay la rive jouk nan dènye bout latè. Bondye moute yon kay nan syèl la pou solèy la.
But through all the world their voice carries their words to the ends of the earth. He has pitched a tent for the sun in the sky,
5 Solèy la menm soti tankou yon nonm ki fèk marye k'ap soti anndan chanm li. Li kontan, l'ap kouri tankou yon gwonèg ki konnen li deja genyen kous la.
it comes out like a bridegroom from his bridal chamber, it joyfully runs its course like a hero.
6 Solèy la leve nan yon bout syèl la, li kouche nan lòt bout la. Chalè li bat sou tout bagay.
From one end of the heavens it rises, and round it runs to the other, and nothing hides from its heat.
7 Lalwa Seyè a bon sou tout pwen. Li moutre nou jan pou nou viv. Nou mèt gen konfyans nan kòmandman Seyè a. Tout moun ki pa gen konprann, l'ap ba yo konprann.
The law of the Lord is perfect, renewing life. The decrees of the Lord are trusty, making the simple wise.
8 Regleman Seyè a se bagay ki dwat. Moun ki swiv yo ap gen kè kontan. Kòmandman li yo klè. Yo louvri je moun.
The behests of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart. The command of the Lord is pure, giving light to the eyes.
9 Se pou nou gen krentif pou Seyè a yon jan ki san repwòch. Epi se tout tan pou nou gen krentif sa a. Jijman Seyè a se verite, yo pa janm nan patipri.
The fear of the Lord is clean, it endures forever. The Lord’s judgments are true and right altogether.
10 Moun ap kouri dèyè yo pi rèd pase dèyè lò, menm pase lò ki pi bon an. Yo pi dous pase siwo myèl, menm pase siwo k'ap degoute nan gato myèl.
More precious are they than gold – than fine gold in plenty, and sweeter they are than honey, that drops from the comb.
11 Mwen menm k'ap sèvi ou la, yo ban m' anpil konesans. Gen gwo rekonpans pou moun k'ap obeyi yo.
By them is your servant warned; who keeps them has rich reward.
12 Ki moun ki konnen tou sa li fè ki mal? Tanpri, Seyè, delivre m' anba sa mwen fè ki mal san m' pa konnen!
Who can know their flaws? Absolve me from those I know not.
13 Mwen menm k'ap sèvi ou la, pwoteje m' tou anba peche mwen fè ak tout konesans mwen. Pa kite yo pran pye sou mwen. Se lè sa a m'a san repwòch. Se lè sa a m'a delivre anba gwo peche a.
Keep your servant from wilful sins – from falling under their sway: then blameless and clear will I be from great offence.
14 Seyè, se ou ki twou wòch kote m' kache a, se ou ki delivrans mwen, mwen mande ou pou pawòl ki soti nan bouch mwen, ak lide k'ap travay nan tèt mwen fè ou plezi.
May the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart be pleasing to you, Lord, my rock and redeemer.
