Psalms 19

1 For the end, a Psalm of David. The heavens declare the glory of God; and the firmament proclaims the work of his hands.

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'.

2 Day to day utters speech, and night to night proclaims knowledge.

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.

3 There are no speeches or words, in which their voices are not heard.

Yo pa pale, yo pa di yon mo. Ou pa tande yon ti bwi.

4 Their voice is gone out into all the earth, and their words to the ends of the world.

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.

5 In the sun he has set his tabernacle; and he comes forth as a bridegroom out of his chamber: he will exult as a giant to run his course.

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.

6 His going forth is from the extremity of heaven, and his circuit to the [other] end of heaven: and no one shall be hidden from his heat.

Solèy la leve nan yon bout syèl la, li kouche nan lòt bout la. Chalè li bat sou tout bagay.

7 The law of the Lord is perfect, converting souls: the testimony of the Lord is faithful, instructing babes.

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.

8 The ordinances of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart: the commandment of the Lord is bright, enlightening the eyes.

Regleman Seyè a se bagay ki dwat. Moun ki swiv yo ap gen kè kontan. Kòmandman li yo klè. Yo louvri je moun.

9 The fear of the Lord is pure, enduring for ever and ever: the judgments of the Lord are true, [and] justified altogether.

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.

10 To be desired more than gold, and much precious stone: sweeter also than honey and the honey-comb.

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.

11 For your servant keeps to them: in the keeping of them [there is] great reward.

Mwen menm k'ap sèvi ou la, yo ban m' anpil konesans. Gen gwo rekonpans pou moun k'ap obeyi yo.

12 Who will understand [his] transgressions? purge you me from my secret [sins].

Ki moun ki konnen tou sa li fè ki mal? Tanpri, Seyè, delivre m' anba sa mwen fè ki mal san m' pa konnen!

13 And spare your servant [the attack] of strangers: if they do not gain the dominion over me, then shall I be blameless, and I shall be clear from great sin.

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.

14 So shall the sayings of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be pleasing continually before you, O Lord my helper, and my redeemer.

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.
