Sòm 68
1 Pou chèf sanba yo. Se yon sòm David. Se yon chante. Lè Bondye kanpe, lènmi l' yo gaye, moun ki rayi l' yo kouri lè l' parèt.
For the end, a Psalm of a Song by David. Let God arise, and let his enemies be scattered; and let them that hate him flee from before him.
2 Menm jan lafimen disparèt nan lè a, se konsa w'ap disparèt yo. Menm jan lasi fonn nan dife, se konsa mechan yo gen pou yo mouri devan Bondye.
As smoke vanishes, let them vanish: as wax melts before the fire, so let the sinners perish from before God.
3 Men moun ki mache dwat yo ap kontan, y'ap fè fèt devan Bondye. Y'ap kontan anpil anpil.
But let the righteous rejoice; let them exult before God: let them be delighted with joy.
4 Chante pou Bondye, fè fèt pou li. Louvri chemen nan laplenn lan bay moun k'ap vini an. Se Seyè ki non li. Fè kè nou kontan lè li parèt devan nou.
Sing to God, sing praises to his name: make a way for him that rides upon the west (the Lord is his name) and exult before him. They shall be troubled before the face of him,
5 Bondye rete nan kay ki apa pou li a, li sèvi papa pou timoun ki san papa yo, li pwoteje vèv yo.
[who is] the father of the orphans, and judge of the widows: [such is] God in his holy place.
6 Moun ki san fanmi yo, li ba yo fanmi. Li fè prizonye yo soti nan prizon, li fè kè yo kontan. Men, pou moun k'ap kenbe tèt avè l' yo, y'ap rete nan prizon.
God settles the solitary in a house; leading forth prisoners mightily, also them that act provokingly, [even] them that dwell in tombs.
7 O Bondye, lè ou t'ap mache alatèt pèp ou a, lè ou t'ap travèse dezè a,
O God, when you went forth before your people, when you went through the wilderness; (Pause)
8 tè a te pran tranble, lapli te pran tonbe soti nan syèl la devan Bondye. devan Bondye mòn Sinayi a, wi, devan Bondye pèp Izrayèl la.
the earth quaked, yes, the heavens dropped [water] at the presence of the God of Sina, at the presence of the God of Israel.
9 Bondye, ou fè lapli tonbe an kantite sou latè. Ou ba li fòs ankò, paske li te fin pèdi tout grès li.
O God, you will grant to your inheritance a gracious rain; for it was weary, but you did refresh it.
10 Pèp ou a moute kay li nan peyi ou pare pou pòv malere yo, paske ou gen bon kè.
Your creatures dwell in it: you have in your goodness prepared for the poor.
11 Seyè a bay lòd, epi yon bann fanm pran gaye nouvèl la:
The Lord God will give a word to them that preach [it] in a great company.
12 Wa yo kouri, yo kouri ansanm ak tout lame yo. Moun yo te kite pou veye kay separe tout sa lènmi yo kite dèyè.
The king of the forces of the beloved, of the beloved, [will] even [grant them] for the beauty of the house to divide the spoils.
13 Lè nou rete kouche nan pak mouton yo zèl pijon an klere tankou ajan. Plimaj li jòn tankou lò.
Even if you should lie among the lots, [you shall have] the wings of a dove covered with silver, and her breast with yellow gold.
14 Lè Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a te gaye wa yo nan peyi a, li te fè lanèj kouvri mòn Salmon.
When the heavenly One scatters kings upon it, they shall be made snow-white in Selmon.
15 Ala yon gwo mòn ki wo se mòn Bazan! Se yon mòn ki gen anpil tèt, mòn Bazan an!
The mountain of God is a rich mountain; a swelling mountain, a rich mountain.
16 Poukisa, ou menm mòn ki gen anpil tèt la, w'ap fè jalouzi pou mòn Bondye chwazi pou fè kay pou l' rete a? Se la Seyè a ap rete pou tout tan.
Therefore do you conceive [evil], you swelling mountains? [this is] the mountain which God has delighted to dwell in; yes, the Lord will dwell [in it] for ever.
17 Seyè a gen anpil cha! Li moute sou yo. Li soti mòn Sinayi pou li al kote ki apa pou li a.
The chariots of God are ten thousand fold, thousands of rejoicing ones: the Lord is among them, in Sina, in the holy place.
18 Ou moute anwo, ou mennen anpil prizonye ale avè ou. Yo fè ou kado anpil moun, menm moun ki te leve dèyè ou yo.
You are gone up on high, you have led captivity captive, you have received gifts for man, yes, for [they were] rebellious, that you might dwell among them.
19 Ann fè lwanj Seyè a chak jou! Li pote chay nou pou nou: Se li ki Bondye nou, se li ki delivre nou.
Blessed be the Lord God, blessed be the Lord daily; and the God of our salvation shall prosper us. (Pause)
20 Bondye sa a se Bondye delivrans nou! Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ap wete nou nan bouch twou a.
Our God is the God of salvation; and to the Lord belong the issues from death.
21 Bondye gen pou l' kraze tèt lènmi li yo. Wi, li gen pou l' kraze zo bwa tèt moun k'ap viv nan peche.
But God shall crust the heads of his enemies; the hairy crown of them that go on in their trespasses.
22 Seyè di: -M'ap fè lènmi yo tounen soti nan peyi Bazan. M'ap fè yo tounen soti nan fon lanmè a.
The Lord said, I will bring again from Basan, I will bring [my people] again through the depths of the sea.
23 pou ou ka mache nan san yo, pou chen ou yo ka jwenn pa yo nan lènmi ou yo.
That your foot may be dipped in blood, [and] the tongue of your dogs [be stained] with that of [your] enemies.
24 Bondye, tout moun wè jan y'ap fè fèt pou ou. Yo wè ki jan Bondye mwen an, wa mwen an, ap mache antre kote ki apa pou li a.
Your goings, O God, have been seen; the goings of my God, the king, in the sanctuary.
25 Moun k'ap chante ap mache devan, mizisyen yo dèyè. Jenn fi yo nan mitan, y'ap bat tanbouren.
The princes went first, next before the players on instruments, in the midst of damsels playing on timbrels.
26 Fè lwanj Bondye nan mitan pèp la lè l' reyini. Fè lwanj li, nou tout pitit pitit Izrayèl yo!
Praise God in the congregations, the Lord from the fountains of Israel.
27 Benjamen, ki pi piti a, vin alatèt yo. Apre li, vini chèf peyi Jida yo ak lame yo. Apre yo, vini chèf peyi Zabilon ak chèf peyi Neftali yo.
There is Benjamin the younger [one] in ecstasy, the princes of Juda their rulers, the princes of Zabulon, the princes of Nephthali.
28 Bondye, fè wè pouvwa ou non! Wi, fè wè pouvwa ou te sèvi pou nou an!
O God, command you your strength: strengthen, O God, this which you have wrought in us.
29 Rete nan tanp ou a lavil Jerizalèm, kote wa yo ap pote kado ba ou.
Because of your temple at Jerusalem shall kings bring presents to you.
30 Fè bèt ki rete anba wozo yo pè, fè bann towo bèf ak jenn ti towo yo pè tou, jouk y'a vin soumèt devan ou, jouk y'a vin ofri ajan ba ou. Wi, moun sa yo ki renmen batay, gaye yo! Fè yo kouri!
Rebuke the wild beasts of the reed: let the crowd of bulls with the heifers of the nations [be rebuked], so that they who have been proved with silver may not be shut out: scatter you the nations that wish for wars.
31 Grannèg ap soti nan peyi Lejip, moun peyi Letiopi ap louvri bra yo pou lapriyè Bondye.
Ambassadors shall arrive out of Egypt; Ethiopia shall hasten [to stretch out] her hand readily to God.
32 Nou menm chèf peyi latè yo, chante pou Bondye! Chante pou fè lwanj Seyè a,
Sing to God, you kingdoms of the earth; sing psalms to the Lord. (Pause)
33 pou Bondye k'ap kouri chwal li nan syèl la, nan syèl ki la depi lontan lontan an. Tande jan l'ap rele, jan l'ap rele byen fò.
Sing to God that rides on the heaven of heaven, eastward: behold, he will utter a mighty sound with his voice.
34 L'ap di: -Rekonèt jan Bondye gen pouvwa! L'ap dominen sou pèp Izrayèl la. Syèl la fè nou konnen jan li gen pouvwa.
Give you glory to God: his excellency is over Israel, and his power is in the clouds.
35 Bondye chita kote ki apa pou li a, li fè tout moun respekte l'. Bondye pèp Izrayèl la bay pèp li a fòs ak kouraj. Di Bondye mèsi!
God is wonderful in his holy [places], the God of Israel: he will give power and strength to his people: blessed be God.
