Sòm 48

1 Chante sa a, se yon sòm pitit Kore yo. Seyè a gen gwo pouvwa! Li merite pou yo fè lwanj li nan lavil Bondye nou an, sou mòn ki apa pou li a.

A Song. A Psalm by the sons of Korah. Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised, in the city of our God, in his holy mountain.

2 Ala yon bèl mòn! Li fè kè tout moun sou latè kontan. Sou mòn Siyon an, ki sou bò nò, se la yo bati lavil gwo wa a.

Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, is Mount Zion, on the north sides, the city of the great King.

3 Seyè a rete lakay li, li fè konnen se bò kote l' yo jwenn kote pou yo kache.

God has shown himself in her citadels as a refuge.

4 Men sa ki te pase: Wa yo te mete tèt yo ansanm, yo vin atake an menm tan.

For, behold, the kings assembled themselves, they passed by together.

5 Lè yo wè l', yo sezi. Yo pè, yo kouri san gad dèyè.

They saw it, then they were amazed. They were dismayed. They hurried away.

6 Yon sèl tranbleman pran yo. Kè yo sere tankou yon fanm ki gen tranche,

Trembling took hold of them there, pain, as of a woman in travail.

7 tankou lè van nòde ap kraze batiman Tasis yo sou lanmè.

With the east wind, you break the ships of Tarshish.

8 Sa nou te konn tande moun di a, koulye a nou wè l' ak je nou nan lavil Bondye nou an, nan lavil Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a. Bondye ap toujou pwoteje lavil la.

As we have heard, so we have seen, in the city of the LORD of Hosts, in the city of our God. God will establish it forever. (Selah)

9 Nou rete nan tanp ou a, n'ap kalkile jan ou renmen nou, Bondye.

We have thought about your loving kindness, God, in the middle of your temple.

10 Se tout moun k'ap nonmen non ou, menm jan an tou, toupatou sou latè y'ap fè lwanj ou. Ou gen anpil pouvwa, men ou pa fè lenjistis.

As is your name, God, so is your praise to the ends of the earth. Your right hand is full of righteousness.

11 Moun ki rete sou mòn Siyon yo kontan. Moun ki rete nan peyi Jide yo pral fè fèt, paske ou konn fè moun jistis.

Let Mount Zion be glad! Let the daughters of Judah rejoice because of your judgments.

12 Mache, fè tout tou lavil la. Konte konbe fò li genyen.

Walk about Zion, and go around her. Number its towers.

13 Egzaminen miray lavil la byen egzaminen. Vizite tout pòs faksyonnè yo, pou nou kapab fè pitit pitit nou yo konnen

Notice her bulwarks. Consider her palaces, that you may tell it to the next generation.

14 se Bondye sa a ki Bondye nou pou tout tan tout tan. Se li menm k'ap kondi nou jouk sa kaba.

For this God is our God forever and ever. He will be our guide even to death.
