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 Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. A song. Let God arise! Let his enemies be scattered! Let them who hate him also flee 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 is driven away, so drive them away. As wax melts before the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of 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 be glad. Let them rejoice before God. Yes, let them rejoice with gladness.
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! Extol him who rides on the clouds: to the LORD, his name! Rejoice before him!
5 Bondye rete nan kay ki apa pou li a, li sèvi papa pou timoun ki san papa yo, li pwoteje vèv yo.
A father of the fatherless, and a defender of the widows, is God in his holy habitation.
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 sets the lonely in families. He brings out the prisoners with singing, but the rebellious dwell in a sun-scorched land.
7 O Bondye, lè ou t'ap mache alatèt pèp ou a, lè ou t'ap travèse dezè a,
God, when you went out before your people, when you marched through the wilderness... (Selah)
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 trembled. The sky also poured down rain at the presence of the God of Sinai— at the presence of God, 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.
You, God, sent a plentiful rain. You confirmed your inheritance when it was weary.
10 Pèp ou a moute kay li nan peyi ou pare pou pòv malere yo, paske ou gen bon kè.
Your congregation lived therein. You, God, prepared your goodness for the poor.
11 Seyè a bay lòd, epi yon bann fanm pran gaye nouvèl la:
The Lord announced the word. The ones who proclaim it are 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.
“Kings of armies flee! They flee!” She who waits at home divides the plunder,
13 Lè nou rete kouche nan pak mouton yo zèl pijon an klere tankou ajan. Plimaj li jòn tankou lò.
while you sleep amongst the camp fires, the wings of a dove sheathed with silver, her feathers with shining 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 Almighty scattered kings in her, it snowed on Zalmon.
15 Ala yon gwo mòn ki wo se mòn Bazan! Se yon mòn ki gen anpil tèt, mòn Bazan an!
The mountains of Bashan are majestic mountains. The mountains of Bashan are rugged.
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.
Why do you look in envy, you rugged mountains, at the mountain where God chooses to reign? Yes, the LORD will dwell there forever.
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 tens of thousands and thousands of thousands. The Lord is amongst them, from Sinai, into the sanctuary.
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 have ascended on high. You have led away captives. You have received gifts amongst people, yes, amongst the rebellious also, that the LORD God might dwell there.
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, who daily bears our burdens, even the God who is our salvation. (Selah)
20 Bondye sa a se Bondye delivrans nou! Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ap wete nou nan bouch twou a.
God is to us a God of deliverance. To GOD, the Lord, belongs escape 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 will strike through the head of his enemies, the hairy scalp of such a one as still continues in his guiltiness.
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 you again from Bashan, I will bring you again from 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 you may crush them, dipping your foot in blood, that the tongues of your dogs may have their portion from 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.
They have seen your processions, God, even the processions of my God, my King, into the sanctuary.
25 Moun k'ap chante ap mache devan, mizisyen yo dèyè. Jenn fi yo nan mitan, y'ap bat tanbouren.
The singers went before, the minstrels followed after, amongst the ladies playing with tambourines,
26 Fè lwanj Bondye nan mitan pèp la lè l' reyini. Fè lwanj li, nou tout pitit pitit Izrayèl yo!
“Bless God in the congregations, even the Lord in the assembly 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 little Benjamin, their ruler, the princes of Judah, their council, the princes of Zebulun, and the princes of Naphtali.
28 Bondye, fè wè pouvwa ou non! Wi, fè wè pouvwa ou te sèvi pou nou an!
Your God has commanded your strength. Strengthen, God, that which you have done for us.
29 Rete nan tanp ou a lavil Jerizalèm, kote wa yo ap pote kado ba ou.
Because of your temple at Jerusalem, kings shall 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 animal of the reeds, the multitude of the bulls with the calves of the peoples. Trample under foot the bars of silver. Scatter the nations who delight in war.
31 Grannèg ap soti nan peyi Lejip, moun peyi Letiopi ap louvri bra yo pou lapriyè Bondye.
Princes shall come out of Egypt. Ethiopia shall hurry to stretch out her hands 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 praises to the Lord— (Selah)
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.
to him who rides on the heaven of heavens, which are of old; behold, he utters his voice, a mighty 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.
Ascribe strength to God! His excellency is over Israel, his strength is in the skies.
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!
You are awesome, God, in your sanctuaries. The God of Israel gives strength and power to his people. Praise be to God!
