Psalms 148
1 Praise Yahweh! Praise him, from up in heaven; praise him from way up in the sky!
Lwanj pou Seyè a! Nou menm ki rete anwo nan syèl la, fè lwanj Seyè a! Fè lwanj li anwo nan syèl la!
2 All you angels who belong to him, praise him! All you who are in the armies of heaven, praise him!
Se pou nou tout zanj li yo fè lwanj li. Se pou nou tout lame ki nan syèl la fè lwanj li.
3 Sun and moon, [you also] praise him! You shining stars, you praise him!
Solèy ak lalin, fè lwanj li! Zetwal k'ap klere nan syèl la, fè lwanj li!
4 You highest heavens, praise him! And you waters that are high above the sky, praise him!
Se pou yo fè lwanj li anwo nèt nan syèl la. Se pou tout dlo ki pi wo pase syèl la fè lwanj li.
5 I want [all of] these to praise Yahweh [MTY] because by commanding [them to exist], he created them.
Se pou yo tout fè lwanj Seyè a! Paske, li annik pase yon lòd, epi tout bagay fèt.
6 He determined the places where they should be [in the sky], and he commanded that they should be there forever. They cannot disobey that command!
Li mete yo chak nan plas yo pou tout tan. Li ba yo yon lòd, yo pa ka pa obeyi l'.
7 And everything on the earth, praise Yahweh! You [huge] sea monsters and [everything else that is] deep [in the ocean],
Se pou tout bagay ki sou latè fè lwanj li: gwo bèt lanmè ansanm ak fon lanmè a,
8 and fire and hail, and snow and frost, and strong winds that obey what he commands, [I tell] all of you to praise Yahweh!
dife ak lagrèl, lanèj ak vapè, gwo van k'ap fè sa li di yo fè,
9 Hills and mountains, fruit trees and cedar [trees],
gwo mòn kou ti mòn, pyebwa k'ap donnen ak tout gwo pye sèd yo,
10 all the wild animals and all [you] cattle, and the (reptiles/creatures that scurry across the ground), and [all] the birds, [I tell all of them to praise Yahweh]!
tout bèt nan bwa, tout bèt domestik, tout bèt k'ap trennen sou vant, ak tout zwezo k'ap vole nan syèl.
11 You kings on this earth and all the people [that you rule], you princes and all [other] rulers,
Fè lwanj li, nou menm wa yo ak tout pèp ki sou latè, chèf ak nou tout k'ap dirije lèzòm,
12 you young men and young women, you old people and children, [everyone, praise Yahweh!]
jenn fi kou jenn gason, granmoun kou timoun.
13 I want them [all] to praise Yahweh [MTY] because he is greater than anyone else. His glory is greater than [anything on] the earth or [in] heaven.
Se pou nou tout fè lwanj Seyè a, paske li gen yon non ki pi gwo pase tout lòt non. Pouvwa li pi wo pase syèl la ak latè a.
14 He caused us, his people, to be strong in order that we, his people, we Israeli people (who are very precious to him/whom he loves very much), would praise him. So praise Yahweh!
Li rebay pèp li a fòs ankò. Sa te yon lwanj pou tout moun k'ap sèvi l' yo, pou pitit Izrayèl yo, pou pèp li renmen anpil la. Lwanj pou Seyè a!
