Psalms 96
1 Sing to Yahweh a new song! [You people] throughout the earth, sing to Yahweh!
Chante yon chante tou nèf pou Seyè a! Nou tout ki rete sou latè, chante pou Seyè a!
2 Sing to Yahweh and praise him [MTY]! Every day proclaim [to others] that he has saved/rescued us.
Chante pou Seyè a, fè lwanj li! Chak jou, fè konnen jan li delivre nou.
3 Tell about his glory/greatness to all people-groups; tell all people-groups the marvelous [things that he has done].
Fè nasyon yo konnen pouvwa li. Fè tout pèp yo konnen bèl bagay li fè yo.
4 Yahweh is great, and he deserves to be praised very much; he should be revered more than for all the gods,
Seyè a gen gwo pouvwa. Li merite pou yo fè lwanj li vre. Se pou moun pè l' pi plis pase lòt bondye yo.
5 because all the gods that other people-groups [worship] are [only] idols, but Yahweh [is truly great]; he created the skies!
Bondye lòt nasyon yo pa anyen, se pòtre yo ye. Men, se Seyè a ki fè syèl la.
6 Those who are in his presence honor him and can see that he is a great king. They can see in his temple that he is very powerful and is very beautiful.
Devan li se respè, se chapo ba. Gen pouvwa, gen mèvèy nan kay ki apa pou li a!
7 You people in nations all over the earth, praise Yahweh! Praise Yahweh for his glorious power [HEN]!
Nou tout pèp ki sou latè, fè lwanj Seyè a! Fè lwanj Seyè a pou pouvwa ak fòs li genyen!
8 Praise Yahweh like he deserves to be praised, Bring an offering and come to his temple.
Fè lwanj li paske li merite sa! Pote ofrann ba li anndan lakay li!
9 Bow down before Yahweh [when he appears] in his holy/sacred temple; everyone on the earth should tremble in front of him, because he is majestic and holy.
Adore Bondye nan bèl kay ki apa pou li a! Nou tout ki sou latè, tranble devan li.
10 Say to all the people-groups, “Yahweh is the king! He put the world in its place, and nothing will ever be able to move/shake it. He will judge [all] the people-groups fairly.”
Mache di nan tout peyi yo: Se Seyè a ki sèl wa. Latè kanpe fèm, anyen pa ka brannen l'. L'ap jije tout moun san patipri.
11 [All the beings that are in] [MTY] the heavens should be glad, and all [the people on the] earth should rejoice. The oceans and all the creatures that are in the oceans should roar [to praise Yahweh].
Se pou syèl la kontan, se pou latè a fè fèt. Se pou lanmè a ansanm ak tou sa ki ladan l' pran fè bri sitèlman yo kontan.
12 The fields and everything that grows in them should rejoice. When they do that, [it will be as though] all the trees in the forests will sing joyfully
Se pou jaden yo ak tou sa ki ladan yo fè fèt. Se pou tout pyebwa nan gwo rak yo rele sitèlman yo kontan,
13 in front of Yahweh. That will happen when he comes to judge [everyone on] [MTY] the earth. He will judge all the people fairly/justly, according to [what he knows is] true.
lè Seyè a parèt. Paske, l'ap vini. L'ap vini pou l' jije tout moun ki sou latè. L'ap jije tout moun san patipri. L'ap jije tout pèp yo jan sa dwe fèt.
