Sòm 135
1 Lwanj pou Seyè a! Fè lwanj Seyè a! Nou tout k'ap sèvi Seyè a,
Praise ye Jehovah. Praise ye the name of Jehovah; Praise [him], O ye servants of Jehovah,
2 nou tout ki kanpe lakay li, nan kote ki apa pou Bondye nou an, fè lwanj li!
Ye that stand in the house of Jehovah, In the courts of the house of our God.
3 Fè lwanj Seyè a, paske li gen bon kè! Chante chante pou li, paske li aji byen ak nou.
Praise ye Jehovah; for Jehovah is good: Sing praises unto his name; for it is pleasant.
4 Se li menm ki te chwazi Jakòb pou moun pa l', se li menm ki te chwazi pèp Izrayèl la pou pèp li.
For Jehovah hath chosen Jacob unto himself, [And] Israel for his own possession.
5 Mwen konnen Seyè nou an gen gwo pouvwa. Li gen pouvwa pase tout lòt bondye yo.
For I know that Jehovah is great, And that our Lord is above all gods.
6 Li fè sa li vle nan syèl ak sou latè, sou lanmè ak nan fon lanmè.
Whatsoever Jehovah pleased, that hath he done, In heaven and in earth, in the seas and in all deeps;
7 Li fè nwaj yo leve kote syèl la kole ak latè a, li fè zèklè ak lapli, li fè van yo soti kote li sere yo a.
Who causeth the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth; Who maketh lightnings for the rain; Who bringeth forth the wind out of his treasuries;
8 Se li menm ki te touye tout premye pitit gason ak tout premye pòte mal zannimo nan peyi Lejip.
Who smote the first-born of Egypt, Both of man and beast;
9 Se li ki te fè anpil mirak ak mèvèy nan peyi Lejip pou pini farawon an ansanm ak tout moun k'ap sèvi l' yo.
Who sent signs and wonders into the midst of thee, O Egypt, Upon Pharaoh, and upon all his servants;
10 Li detwi anpil nasyon, li touye wa ki te gen pouvwa:
Who smote many nations, And slew mighty kings,
11 Siyon, wa peyi Amon an, Og, wa peyi Bazan an ansanm ak tout wa nan peyi Kanaran yo.
Sihon king of the Amorites, And Og king of Bashan, And all the kingdoms of Canaan,
12 Li pran peyi yo, li bay pèp li a, wi, li bay moun pèp Izrayèl yo peyi moun sa yo pou yo rete.
And gave their land for a heritage, A heritage unto Israel his people.
13 Seyè, lèzòm ap toujou konnen ki moun ou ye. Yo p'ap janm bliye ou!
Thy name, O Jehovah, [endureth] for ever; Thy memorial [name], O Jehovah, throughout all generations.
14 Seyè a va pran defans pèp li a, l'a gen pitye pou moun k'ap sèvi l' yo.
For Jehovah will judge his people, And repent himself concerning his servants.
15 Zidòl nasyon yo se bagay ki fèt ak ajan, ak lò. Se moun ki fè yo ak men yo.
The idols of the nations are silver and gold, The work of men’s hands.
16 Yo gen bouch, men yo pa ka pale. Yo gen je, men yo pa ka wè.
They have mouths, but they speak not; Eyes have they, but they see not;
17 Yo gen zòrèy, men yo pa ka tande. Yo pa gen yon ti souf nan bouch yo.
They have ears, but they hear not; Neither is there any breath in their mouths.
18 Moun ki fè zidòl yo ansanm ak tout moun ki mete konfyans yo nan yo, se pou yo tounen tankou yo.
They that make them shall be like unto them; Yea, every one that trusteth in them.
19 Nou menm, pèp Izrayèl la, fè lwanj Seyè a! Nou menm, prèt Bondye yo, fè lwanj Seyè a!
O house of Israel, bless ye Jehovah: O house of Aaron, bless ye Jehovah:
20 Nou menm k'ap sèvi nan tanp li a, fè lwanj Seyè a! Nou tout ki gen krentif pou Seyè a, fè lwanj li!
O house of Levi, bless ye Jehovah: Ye that fear Jehovah, bless ye Jehovah.
21 Fè lwanj Seyè a nan peyi Siyon. nan lavil Jerizalèm, kote l' rete a. Lwanj pou Seyè a!
Blessed be Jehovah out of Zion, Who dwelleth at Jerusalem. Praise ye Jehovah.
