Sòm 89
1 Chante Etan, moun peyi Ezra. Seyè, mwen p'ap janm sispann chante pou fè konnen jan ou renmen nou. Se tout tan m'a fè konnen jan ou se moun ki kenbe pawòl ou.
I will sing of the mercies of YHWH for ever: with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations.
2 Ou di konsa: -Pa gen anyen ki pou fè ou sispann renmen nou. Menm jan syèl la ap toujou la, se konsa tou w'ap toujou kenbe pawòl ou.
For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy faithfulness shalt thou establish in the very heavens.
3 Ou di konsa: -Mwen pase yon kontra avèk moun mwen te chwazi a. Men sa mwen te pwomèt David, sèvitè mwen an:
I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant,
4 W'ap toujou gen yon wa nan pitit pitit ou yo. M'ap fè gouvènman ou lan kanpe fèm pou tout tan.
Thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to all generations. (Selah)
5 Seyè, moun ki nan syèl yo ap chante pou bèl mèvèy ou fè yo. Y'ap chante nan mitan moun k'ap viv pou ou yo, pou fè konnen jan ou toujou kenbe pawòl ou.
And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O YHWH: thy faithfulness also in the congregation of the saints.
6 Seyè, pa gen tankou ou nan syèl la! Pa gen bondye ki ka wè avè ou!
For who in the heaven can be compared unto YHWH? who among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto YHWH?
7 Tout moun k'ap sèvi ou yo respekte ou. Tout moun ki bò kote ou yo pè ou.
El is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be had in reverence of all them that are about him.
8 Seyè, Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a, pa gen moun ki gen pouvwa pase ou! Ou kenbe pawòl ou nan tout sikonstans, Seyè!
O YHWH Elohim of hosts, who is strong like unto thee, O YAH? or to thy faithfulness round about thee?
9 Ou dominen sou gwo lanmè yo. Lè yo move, ou fè yo ret dousman.
Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof arise, thou stillest them.
10 Ou kraze moun peyi Lejip yo, ou fè yo tounen kadav. Avèk fòs ponyèt ou, ou gaye lènmi ou yo.
Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; thou hast scattered thine enemies with thy strong arm.
11 Syèl la se pou ou ansanm ak latè a. Se ou ki kreye lemonn antye ak tou sa ki ladan l'.
The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine: as for the world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them.
12 Se ou ki kreye nò ak sid. Mòn Tabò ak mòn Emon ap chante pou ou sitèlman yo kontan.
The north and the south thou hast created them: Tabor and Hermon shall rejoice in thy name.
13 Ou pa manke fòs nan ponyèt ou! Ou p'ap bese tèt devan pesonn.
Thou hast a mighty arm: strong is thy hand, and high is thy right hand.
14 W'ap gouvènen tout bagay avèk jistis san patipri. Nan tout sa w'ap fè ou pa janm bliye jan ou renmen nou. W'ap toujou kenbe pwomès ou te fè nou yo.
Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face.
15 Ala bon sa bon lè yon pèp gen kè kontan, lè l'ap viv yon jan ki fè ou plezi!
Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O YHWH, in the light of thy countenance.
16 Tout lajounen y'ap fè fèt pou ou. Y'ap fè lwanj ou paske ou gen bon kè.
In thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in thy righteousness shall they be exalted.
17 Se ou menm ki fè nou pa pè pesonn. Se paske ou renmen nou kifè nou genyen batay yo.
For thou art the glory of their strength: and in thy favour our horn shall be exalted.
18 Paske, Seyè a se pwoteksyon nou, se ou menm, Bondye Izrayèl la, ki wa nou.
For YHWH is our defence; and the Holy One of Israel is our king.
19 Nan tan lontan, moun k'ap sèvi ou yo te wè ou nan yon vizyon. Ou te pale ak yo, ou te di yo: -Mwen te bay yon vanyan gason yon koudmen. Mwen te pran yon jenn gason nan pèp la, mwen mete l' chèf.
Then thou spakest in vision to thy holy one, and saidst, I have laid help upon one that is mighty; I have exalted one chosen out of the people.
20 Mwen te jwenn David, sèvitè mwen an, mwen te mete l' apa pou l' vin wa sou nou.
I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him:
21 M'ap toujou soutni l' avèk fòs mwen. M'a fòtifye l' avèk pouvwa mwen.
With whom my hand shall be established: mine arm also shall strengthen him.
22 Lènmi l' yo p'ap ka mete men sou li, mechan yo p'ap ka mete pye sou kou li.
The enemy shall not exact upon him; nor the son of wickedness afflict him.
23 M'ap kraze tout moun ki pa vle wè l' yo, m'ap touye moun ki rayi l' yo.
And I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague them that hate him.
24 M'ap toujou renmen l', m'ap toujou kenbe pawòl mwen ak li, mwen p'ap janm kite l' pèdi okenn batay.
But my faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him: and in my name shall his horn be exalted.
25 M'ap fè l' gouvènen depi lanmè Mediterane jouk larivyè Lefrat.
I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers.
26 L'a rele m', l'a di m': Se ou ki papa m', se ou menm ki Bondye m'. Se ou ki pwoteksyon m', se ou menm ki delivrans mwen.
He shall cry unto me, Thou art my father, my El, and the rock of my salvation.
27 Mwen menm, m'ap fè l' pase pou premye pitit gason mwen. Se li k'ap pi gran nan tout wa sou latè.
Also I will make him my firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth.
28 M'a toujou fè l' wè jan m' renmen l', m'ap toujou kenbe kontra mwen te fè ak li a.
My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him.
29 M'ap toujou chwazi yonn nan pitit pitit li yo pou wa. Gouvènman li a ap rete tout tan tout tan.
His seed also will I make to endure for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven.
30 Men, si pitit pitit li yo pa obeyi lalwa mwen ba yo, si yo pa mache dapre lòd mwen ba yo,
If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments;
31 si yo pa swiv prensip mwen ba yo, si yo pa fè tout sa mwen mande yo fè,
If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments;
32 m'ap pini yo pou peche yo fè, m'ap bat yo. M'ap ba yo kout fwèt pou tout sa yo fè ki mal.
Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes.
33 Men, se pa sa k'ap fè m' sispann renmen David, ni k'ap fè m' pa kenbe pwomès mwen te fè l' la.
Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.
34 Non. Mwen p'ap kase kontra mwen pase ak li a, ni mwen p'ap janm manke l' pawòl.
My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.
35 Depi mwen fè sèman sou non mwen yon sèl fwa, se fini: Mwen p'ap bay David manti.
Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David.
36 Pitit pitit li yo va toujou wa. Y'a gouvènen devan mwen toutotan solèy la va la.
His seed shall endure forever, and his throne as the sun before me.
37 Gouvènman li an ap la pou tout tan, tankou lalin ki toujou klere nan syèl la.
It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven. (Selah)
38 Men, malgre sa, ou fache sou wa ou te chwazi a, ou vire do ba li, ou voye l' jete.
But thou hast cast off and abhorred, thou hast been wroth with thine anointed.
39 Ou pa menm okipe kontra ou te fè avèk sèvitè ou la. Ou pran kouwòn ki te sou tèt li a, ou voye l' jete nan labou.
Thou hast made void the covenant of thy servant: thou hast profaned his crown by casting it to the ground.
40 Ou kraze tout miray li yo, ou lage yo atè. Ou kite tout fò li yo fin kraze nèt.
Thou hast broken down all his hedges; thou hast brought his strong holds to ruin.
41 Tout moun k'ap pase nan lari ap piye kay li, tout vwazinaj li yo ap pase l' nan rizib.
All that pass by the way spoil him: he is a reproach to his neighbours.
42 Ou kite lènmi l' yo kraze l' anba pye yo. Ou fè yo tout kontan.
Thou hast set up the right hand of his adversaries; thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice.
43 Ou kase dan tout zam li yo, ou kite yo kraze l' nan lagè.
Thou hast also turned the edge of his sword, and hast not made him to stand in the battle.
44 Ou te wete baton kòmandman an nan men l', ou pran fotèy li a, ou jete l' atè.
Thou hast made his glory to cease, and cast his throne down to the ground.
45 Ou fè l' vin vye anvan lè li, ou fè l' wont nèt.
The days of his youth hast thou shortened: thou hast covered him with shame. (Selah)
46 Seyè, jouk kilè w'ap rete kache pou nou pa wè ou? Gen lè se pou tout tan! W'ap kite kòlè ou boule nou tankou dife?
How long, YHWH? wilt thou hide thyself for ever? shall thy wrath burn like fire?
47 Seyè, chonje moun pa anyen, lavi yo kout. Chonje se ou ki kreye tout moun pou yo tounen pousyè.
Remember how short my time is: wherefore hast thou made all men in vain?
48 Eske gen moun ki ka viv san l' pa janm mouri? Kisa yon moun ka fè pou l' pa janm al anba tè? (Sheol h7585)
What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death? shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? (Selah) (Sheol h7585)
49 Seyè, kote sa ou te fè nan tan lontan pou fè nou wè jan ou renmen nou an? Kote tout bèl pwomès ou te fè David yo?
YHWH, where are thy former lovingkindnesses, which thou swarest unto David in thy truth?
50 Seyè, pa bliye jan y'ap pase sèvitè ou yo nan betiz! Pa bliye jan moun lòt nasyon yo ap joure mwen!
Remember, YHWH, the reproach of thy servants; how I do bear in my bosom the reproach of all the mighty people;
51 Seyè, pa bliye jan lènmi ou yo ap joure, jan y'ap joure wa ou te chwazi a kote l' pase.
Wherewith thine enemies have reproached, O YHWH; wherewith they have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed.
52 Ann toujou fè lwanj Seyè a! Wi, se vre! Amèn!
Blessed be YHWH for evermore. Amen, and Amen.
