< Psalms 107 >

1 Give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever.
O bay remèsiman a Bondye, paske Li Bon, paske lanmou dous Li dire jis pou tout tan.
2 Let the redeemed by Yahweh say so, whom he has redeemed from the hand of the adversary,
Kite rachte a SENYÈ yo pale: “Se sa!” (Sila) ke Li fin rachte soti nan men advèsè a,
3 and gathered out of the lands, from the east and from the west, from the north and from the south.
e te ranmase soti nan peyi yo, soti nan lès e soti nan lwès, soti nan nò e soti nan sid.
4 They wandered in the wilderness in a desert way. They found no city to live in.
Yo te mache egare nan dezè yo. Yo pa t jwenn yon vil pou yo ta rete.
5 Hungry and thirsty, their soul fainted in them.
Yo te grangou ak swaf. Nanm yo te fennen anndan yo.
6 Then they cried to Yahweh in their trouble, and he delivered them out of their distresses.
Yo te kriye fò a SENYÈ a nan gran twoub yo, Konsa, Li te delivre yo sòti nan twoub yo.
7 He led them also by a straight way, that they might go to a city to live in.
Anplis, Li te mennen yo pa yon chemen dwat, pou rive nan yon vil ki deja etabli ak moun ladann.
8 Let them praise Yahweh for his loving kindness, for his wonderful deeds to the children of men!
Kite yo bay remèsiman a SENYÈ a pou lanmou dous Li a, pou mèvèy Li yo anvè fis a lòm yo!
9 For he satisfies the longing soul. He fills the hungry soul with good.
Paske Li te satisfè nanm swaf la, e nanm grangou a, Li te ranpli li ak sa ki bon.
10 Some sat in darkness and in the shadow of death, being bound in affliction and iron,
Te gen (sila) ki te viv nan tenèb yo ak nan lonbraj lanmò yo, Prizonye yo nan mizè ak chenn yo,
11 because they rebelled against the words of God, and condemned the counsel of the Most High.
akoz yo te fè rebèl kont pawòl Bondye a, e te meprize konsèy a Pi Wo a.
12 Therefore he brought down their heart with labor. They fell down, and there was no one to help.
Akoz sa, Li te imilye kè yo ak travay fòse. Yo te chape tonbe e pa t gen moun ki pou bay yo sekou.
13 Then they cried to Yahweh in their trouble, and he saved them out of their distresses.
Epi nan gwo pwoblèm yo, yo te rele fò a SENYÈ a. Li te delivre yo sòti nan gwo twoub yo.
14 He brought them out of darkness and the shadow of death, and broke away their chains.
Li te mennen yo sòti nan tenèb la, nan lonbraj lanmò a, e te kase chire kòd li yo.
15 Let them praise Yahweh for his loving kindness, for his wonderful deeds to the children of men!
Kite yo bay remèsiman a SENYÈ a pou Lanmou dous Li a ak pou mèvèy Li yo anvè fis a lòm yo!
16 For he has broken the gates of bronze, and cut through bars of iron.
Paske Li te kraze pòtay an bwonz yo, e te koupe ba fè yo.
17 Fools are afflicted because of their disobedience, and because of their iniquities.
Yo te vin fou nèt nan rebelyon yo e akoz inikite yo, yo te aflije.
18 Their soul abhors all kinds of food. They draw near to the gates of death.
Nanm yo te rayi tout kalite manje e yo te rive toupre pòtay lanmò yo.
19 Then they cry to Yahweh in their trouble, and he saves them out of their distresses.
Konsa yo te kriye fò a SENYÈ a nan gran mizè yo, e Li te sove yo sòti nan gwo pwoblèm yo.
20 He sends his word, and heals them, and delivers them from their graves.
Li te voye pawòl Li pou te geri yo, pou te delivre yo sòti nan destriksyon yo.
21 Let them praise Yahweh for his loving kindness, for his wonderful deeds to the children of men!
Kite yo bay remèsiman pou Lanmou dous Li a, ak mèvèy Li yo anvè fis a lòm yo!
22 Let them offer the sacrifices of thanksgiving, and declare his deeds with singing.
Anplis, kite yo ofri sakrifis a remèsiman yo e pale sou afè zèv Li yo ak chan lajwa.
23 Those who go down to the sea in ships, who do business in great waters,
(Sila) ki desann bò kote lanmè nan bato yo, ki fè komès sou gwo dlo yo,
24 these see Yahweh’s deeds, and his wonders in the deep.
yo te konn wè zèv SENYÈ yo, avèk mèvèy Li yo nan gran fon an.
25 For he commands, and raises the stormy wind, which lifts up its waves.
Paske Li te pale e fè leve yon gwo van tanpèt, ki te fè leve gwo vag lanmè yo.
26 They mount up to the sky; they go down again to the depths. Their soul melts away because of trouble.
Yo te leve jis rive nan syèl yo e te desann jis rive nan fon yo. Nanm yo te fann avèk mizè.
27 They reel back and forth, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wits’ end.
Yo te gaye, bite tankou moun sou. Yo te fin about nèt.
28 Then they cry to Yahweh in their trouble, and he brings them out of their distress.
Yo te kriye a Bondye nan mizè yo, e Li te mennen yo sòti nan twoub yo.
29 He makes the storm a calm, so that its waves are still.
Li te fè tanpèt la vin kalm, jiskaske vag lanmè yo te vin kalm.
30 Then they are glad because it is calm, so he brings them to their desired haven.
Konsa, yo te kontan akoz yo te kalme, e Li te gide yo pou rive nan pò ke yo te pito a.
31 Let them praise Yahweh for his loving kindness, for his wonderful deeds for the children of men!
Kite yo bay remèsiman a SENYÈ a pou lanmou dous Li a, pou mèvèy Li yo anvè fis a lòm yo!
32 Let them exalt him also in the assembly of the people, and praise him in the seat of the elders.
Kite yo leve L wo, anplis, nan asanble a pèp la, e beni Li nan asanble ansyen yo.
33 He turns rivers into a desert, water springs into a thirsty ground,
Li chanje rivyè yo vin tounen dezè, e sous dlo yo an tè deseche.
34 and a fruitful land into a salt waste, for the wickedness of those who dwell in it.
Yon tè fètil vin tounen savann tè sale, akoz mechanste a (sila) ki rete ladann yo.
35 He turns a desert into a pool of water, and a dry land into water springs.
Li chanje dezè a vin tounen gwo sous dlo, e tè deseche a an sous k ap koule.
36 There he makes the hungry live, that they may prepare a city to live in,
Epi la, li fè moun grangou yo vin rete, pou yo vin etabli yon vil ki plen moun,
37 sow fields, plant vineyards, and reap the fruits of increase.
pou yo ka plante chan yo, plante chan rezen yo, e ranmase yon gwo rekòlt.
38 He blesses them also, so that they are multiplied greatly. He doesn’t allow their livestock to decrease.
Anplis, Li beni yo! Yo miltipliye anpil, e li pa kite bèt chan pa yo bese.
39 Again, they are diminished and bowed down through oppression, trouble, and sorrow.
Lè yo vin febli, koube nèt, akoz opresyon avèk mizè ak tristès,
40 He pours contempt on princes, and causes them to wander in a trackless waste.
Li vide wont sou prens yo e fè yo vin mache egare nan yon savann ki san chemen.
41 Yet he lifts the needy out of their affliction, and increases their families like a flock.
Men Li fè malere a chita wo ansekirite, byen lwen tout afliksyon, e fè fanmi li yo byen pwoteje kon yon twoupo.
42 The upright will see it, and be glad. All the wicked will shut their mouths.
Moun dwat yo wè l e yo kontan. Men tout mechan yo fèmen bouch yo.
43 Whoever is wise will pay attention to these things. They will consider the loving kindnesses of Yahweh.
Se kilès ki saj? Kite li bay atansyon a bagay sa yo e konsidere lanmou dous SENYÈ a.
