Sòm 19
1 Pou direktè koral la; yon sòm David Syèl yo ap pale glwa Bondye a. Jan yo tèlman gran deklare zèv men Li yo.
For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. The heavens declare the glory of God. The expanse shows his handiwork.
2 Jou apre jou, l ap pale san rete; Nwit apre nwit, li revele konesans.
Day after day they pour out speech, and night after night they display knowledge.
3 Nanpwen langaj, ni pa gen pawòl kote nou pa tande vwa yo.
There is no speech nor language where their voice is not heard.
4 Sepandan, eko yo retanti sou tout latè, ak sa yo pale jis nan ekstremite latè a. Nan mitan yo, Li te plase yon tant pou solèy la,
Their voice has gone out through all the earth, their words to the end of the world. In them he has set a tent for the sun,
5 ki tankou yon jennonm ki fenk marye k ap sòti nan chanm li. Li rejwi kon yon nonm fò k ap fè kous.
which is as a bridegroom coming out of his room, like a strong man rejoicing to run his course.
6 Li leve soti nan yon pwent syèl, pou fè wonn li rive jis nan lòt pwent lan. Anyen pa chape devan chalè li.
His going out is from the end of the heavens, his circuit to its ends. There is nothing hidden from its heat.
7 Lalwa SENYÈ a pafè Li rekonfòte nanm. Temwayaj SENYÈ a vrè, k ap fè saj yo senp.
Yahweh’s law is perfect, restoring the soul. Yahweh’s covenant is sure, making wise the simple.
8 Prensip a SENYÈ yo dwat, ki fè kè rejwi. Kòmandman SENYÈ a san tach. Li fè zye yo limen.
Yahweh’s precepts are right, rejoicing the heart. Yahweh’s commandment is pure, enlightening the eyes.
9 Lakrent SENYÈ a pi; Li dire jis pou tout tan. Jijman yo SENYÈ a vrè; Yo jis san manke.
The fear of Yahweh is clean, enduring forever. Yahweh’s ordinances are true, and righteous altogether.
10 Yo pi chè pase lò, wi, pase anpil lò fen. Yo pi dous pase myèl, pase siwo a ki tonbe nan gato myèl la.
They are more to be desired than gold, yes, than much fine gold, sweeter also than honey and the extract of the honeycomb.
11 Anplis, se pa yo menm ke sèvitè Ou a resevwa avètisman pou fè atansyon. Pou (sila) ki kenbe yo, gen gran rekonpans.
Moreover your servant is warned by them. In keeping them there is great reward.
12 Se kilès ki kab rekonèt fot li? Padone mwen pou fot ke m pa konnen yo.
Who can discern his errors? Forgive me from hidden errors.
13 Anplis, pwoteje sèvitè ou a kont peche ògèy yo. Pa kite yo vin domine m. Konsa, mwen kab rete san fot, epi va inosan a gran peche.
Keep back your servant also from presumptuous sins. Let them not have dominion over me. Then I will be upright. I will be blameless and innocent of great transgression.
14 Kite pawòl bouch mwen a avèk refleksyon kè m vin akseptab devan zye Ou, O SENYÈ, wòch mwen, ak sovè mwen an.
Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable in your sight, Yahweh, my rock, and my redeemer.
