< Psalms 105 >

1 Give thanks unto the LORD, call upon his name; make known his doings among the peoples.
Lwanj pou Seyè a! Fè konnen jan li gen pouvwa! Fè nasyon yo konnen sa li fè!
2 Sing unto him, sing praises unto him; talk ye of all his marvelous works.
Chante pou li! Fè lwanj li! Rakonte tout mèvèy li te fè yo!
3 Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek the LORD.
Fè kè nou kontan paske se moun pa l' nou ye. Wi, se pou tout moun k'ap sèvi Seyè a fè fèt!
4 Seek ye the LORD and his strength; seek his face evermore.
Ale jwenn Seyè a pou l' ka ede nou, toujou chache rete devan li.
5 Remember his marvelous works that he hath done; his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;
-(we vèsè pwochen)
6 O ye seed of Abraham his servant, ye children of Jacob, his chosen ones.
Nou menm, pitit pitit Abraram, sèvitè Bondye, nou menm, pitit pitit Jakòb yo, nou menm Bondye chwazi, chonje mirak ak mèvèy li te fè. Chonje jijman ki te soti nan bouch li!
7 He is the LORD our God: his judgments are in all the earth.
Seyè a se Bondye nou li ye. Lè li pase yon lòd se pou tout latè.
8 He hath remembered his covenant for ever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations;
-(we vèsè pwochen)
9 [The covenant] which he made with Abraham, and his oath unto Isaac;
L'ap toujou chonje kontra li te pase ak Abraram. L'ap kenbe pwomès li, pwomès li fè Izarak la pou tout tan tout tan.
10 And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a statute, to Israel for an everlasting covenant:
Sa li te pwomèt Abraram lan, li fè l' tounen yon lwa pou pitit Jakòb yo, yon kontra ak pèp Izrayèl la pou tout tan.
11 Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance:
Li te di: -M'ap ba ou peyi Kanaran an pou pòsyon ki rele ou pa ou nan byen m' yo.
12 When they were but a few men in number; yea, very few, and sojourners in it;
Lè sa a, pèp Bondye a pa t' anpil, yo te sèlman yon ti ponyen moun, yo te tankou etranje toujou nan peyi a.
13 And they went about from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people.
Yo t'ap mache ale vini nan tout nasyon yo, yo t'ap soti nan yon peyi ale nan yon lòt.
14 He suffered no man to do them wrong; yea, he reproved kings for their sakes;
Men, li pa t' kite pesonn maltrete yo. Li te menm rive pini anpil wa poutèt yo.
15 [Saying], Touch not mine anointed ones, and do my prophets no harm.
Li te di: Piga nou manyen moun mwen chwazi yo. Piga nou fè pwofèt mwen yo anyen.
16 And he called for a famine upon the land; he brake the whole staff of bread.
Lè Seyè a te voye yon grangou sou peyi yo a, lè li te koupe tout viv yo,
17 He sent a man before them; Joseph was sold for a servant:
li te voye Jozèf devan yo, menm Jozèf yo te vann tankou esklav la.
18 His feet they hurt with fetters; he was laid in [chains of] iron:
Yo te mete pye l' nan sèp, yo te pase yon chenn nan kou li,
19 Until the time that his word came to pass; the word of the LORD tried him.
jouk sa li te di a te rive vre. Konsa, pawòl Seyè a te fè wè se Jozèf ki te gen rezon.
20 The king sent and loosed him; even the ruler of peoples, and let him go free.
Wa peyi Lejip la te wete l' nan chenn yo, chèf nasyon yo te fè lage l'.
21 He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his substance:
Li mete l' chèf sou tout moun lakay li, li mete l' pou l' gouvènen tout peyi a.
22 To bind his princes at his pleasure, and teach his senators wisdom.
Li ba li kat blanch sou tout chèf yo, li ba li otorite pou l' moutre notab yo sa pou yo fè.
23 Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.
Apre sa, Jakòb te desann nan peyi Lejip ansanm ak tout pitit li yo. Li pase kèk tan nan peyi pitit Kam yo.
24 And he increased his people greatly, and made them stronger than their adversaries.
Seyè a te fè pèp li a peple anpil. Li te fè l' vin pi fò pase lènmi l' yo.
25 He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal subtilly with his servants.
Li fè moun peyi Lejip yo rayi pèp li a: Yo aji mal ak li, yo twonpe li.
26 He sent Moses his servant, [and] Aaron whom he had chosen.
Lè sa a, li voye Moyiz, yon moun ki t'ap sèvi l', ansanm ak Arawon, yon moun li te chwazi.
27 They set among them his signs, and wonders in the land of Ham.
Avèk pouvwa li, yo te fè mèvèy nan peyi pitit Kam yo. Yo te fè anpil mirak nan peyi Lejip.
28 He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled not against his words.
Li voye fènwa kouvri tout peyi a. Men, moun peyi Lejip yo pa t' koute sa l' te di yo.
29 He turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish.
Li fè dlo larivyè yo tounen san, li touye tout pwason ladan yo.
30 Their land swarmed with frogs, in the chambers of their kings.
Krapo te pran tout peyi a pou yo, yo te rive jouk anndan kay wa a.
31 He spake, and there came swarms of flies, and lice in all their borders.
Bondye annik pale, mouchavè ak vèmin parèt, yo kouvri tout peyi a.
32 He gave them hail for rain, [and] flaming fire in their land.
Li pa ba yo lapli, li voye lagrèl pito ak kout zèklè sou peyi a.
33 He smote their vines also and their fig trees; and brake the trees of their borders.
Li te detwi tout pye rezen ak tout pye figfrans yo. Li jete tout pyebwa nan peyi a atè.
34 He spake, and the locust came, and the cankerworm, and that without number,
Bondye annik pale, chwalbwa parèt, chini vide an kantite.
35 And did eat up every herb in their land, and did eat up the fruit of their ground.
Yo devore tout ti plant nan peyi a, yo manje tout rekòt nan jaden yo.
36 He smote also all the firstborn in their land, the chief of all their strength.
Bondye touye premye pitit gason nan tout fanmi nan peyi Lejip la. Wi, li touye tout premye pitit gason yo.
37 And he brought them forth with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among his tribes.
Apre sa, li fè pèp Izrayèl la pati avèk kantite lò ak ajan. Anyen pa t' rive yo yonn menm.
38 Egypt was glad when they departed; for the fear of them had fallen upon them.
Moun peyi Lejip yo te fè fèt lè yo pati paske yo te pè anpil.
39 He spread a cloud for a covering; and fire to give light in the night.
Seyè a mete yon nwaj pou pwoteje yo lajounen, yon dife pou klere yo lannwit.
40 They asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven.
Yo mande l' vyann, li ba yo zòtolan. Li ba yo pen ki soti nan syèl pou plen vant yo.
41 He opened the rock, and waters gushed out; they ran in the dry places [like] a river.
Li fann yon gwo wòch, sous dlo pete, dlo pran koule nan dezè a tankou larivyè.
42 For he remembered his holy word, [and] Abraham his servant.
Li te chonje pwomès li te fè a, pawòl li te bay Abraram, sèvitè l' la.
43 And he brought forth his people with joy, [and] his chosen with singing.
Se konsa li te fè pèp li a soti ak kè kontan, li te fè pèp li te chwazi a rele sitèlman yo te kontan.
44 And he gave them the lands of the nations; and they took the labour of the peoples in possession:
Li ba yo tè lòt nasyon yo, li kite yo ranmase rekòt jaden lòt moun,
45 That they might keep his statutes, and observe his laws. Praise ye the LORD.
pou pèp li a te ka kenbe lòd li yo, pou yo te ka obeyi kòmandman li yo. Lwanj pou Seyè a!
