Psalms 89

Chante Etan, moun peyi Ezra.

I will sing of the mercies of the LORD for ever: with my mouth will I make known thy faithfulness to all generations.

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.

For I have said, Mercy shall be built up for ever: thy faithfulness shalt thou establish in the very heavens.

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.

I have made a covenant with my chosen, I have sworn unto David my servant,

Ou di konsa: -Mwen pase yon kontra avèk moun mwen te chwazi a. Men sa mwen te pwomèt David, sèvitè mwen an:

Thy seed will I establish for ever, and build up thy throne to all generations. Selah.

W'ap toujou gen yon wa nan pitit pitit ou yo. M'ap fè gouvènman ou lan kanpe fèm pou tout tan.

And the heavens shall praise thy wonders, O LORD: thy faithfulness also in the congregation of the saints.

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.

For who in the heaven can be compared unto the LORD? who among the sons of the mighty can be likened unto the LORD?

Seyè, pa gen tankou ou nan syèl la! Pa gen bondye ki ka wè avè ou!

God is greatly to be feared in the assembly of the saints, and to be had in reverence of all them that are about him.

Tout moun k'ap sèvi ou yo respekte ou. Tout moun ki bò kote ou yo pè ou.

O LORD God of hosts, who is a strong LORD like unto thee? or to thy faithfulness round about thee?

Seyè, Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a, pa gen moun ki gen pouvwa pase ou! Ou kenbe pawòl ou nan tout sikonstans, Seyè!

Thou rulest the raging of the sea: when the waves thereof arise, thou stillest them.

Ou dominen sou gwo lanmè yo. Lè yo move, ou fè yo ret dousman.

Thou hast broken Rahab in pieces, as one that is slain; thou hast scattered thine enemies with thy strong arm.

Ou kraze moun peyi Lejip yo, ou fè yo tounen kadav. Avèk fòs ponyèt ou, ou gaye lènmi ou yo.

The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine: as for the world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them.

Syèl la se pou ou ansanm ak latè a. Se ou ki kreye lemonn antye ak tou sa ki ladan l'.

The north and the south thou hast created them: Tabor and Hermon shall rejoice in thy name.

Se ou ki kreye nò ak sid. Mòn Tabò ak mòn Emon ap chante pou ou sitèlman yo kontan.

Thou hast a mighty arm: strong is thy hand, and high is thy right hand.

Ou pa manke fòs nan ponyèt ou! Ou p'ap bese tèt devan pesonn.

Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face.

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.

Blessed is the people that know the joyful sound: they shall walk, O LORD, in the light of thy countenance.

Ala bon sa bon lè yon pèp gen kè kontan, lè l'ap viv yon jan ki fè ou plezi!

In thy name shall they rejoice all the day: and in thy righteousness shall they be exalted.

Tout lajounen y'ap fè fèt pou ou. Y'ap fè lwanj ou paske ou gen bon kè.

For thou art the glory of their strength: and in thy favour our horn shall be exalted.

Se ou menm ki fè nou pa pè pesonn. Se paske ou renmen nou kifè nou genyen batay yo.

For the LORD is our defence; and the Holy One of Israel is our king.

Paske, Seyè a se pwoteksyon nou, se ou menm, Bondye Izrayèl la, ki wa nou.

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.

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.

I have found David my servant; with my holy oil have I anointed him:

Mwen te jwenn David, sèvitè mwen an, mwen te mete l' apa pou l' vin wa sou nou.

With whom my hand shall be established: mine arm also shall strengthen him.

M'ap toujou soutni l' avèk fòs mwen. M'a fòtifye l' avèk pouvwa mwen.

The enemy shall not exact upon him; nor the son of wickedness afflict him.

Lènmi l' yo p'ap ka mete men sou li, mechan yo p'ap ka mete pye sou kou li.

And I will beat down his foes before his face, and plague them that hate him.

M'ap kraze tout moun ki pa vle wè l' yo, m'ap touye moun ki rayi l' yo.

But my faithfulness and my mercy shall be with him: and in my name shall his horn be exalted.

M'ap toujou renmen l', m'ap toujou kenbe pawòl mwen ak li, mwen p'ap janm kite l' pèdi okenn batay.

I will set his hand also in the sea, and his right hand in the rivers.

M'ap fè l' gouvènen depi lanmè Mediterane jouk larivyè Lefrat.

He shall cry unto me, Thou art my father, my God, and the rock of my salvation.

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.

Also I will make him my firstborn, higher than the kings of the earth.

Mwen menm, m'ap fè l' pase pou premye pitit gason mwen. Se li k'ap pi gran nan tout wa sou latè.

My mercy will I keep for him for evermore, and my covenant shall stand fast with him.

M'a toujou fè l' wè jan m' renmen l', m'ap toujou kenbe kontra mwen te fè ak li a.

His seed also will I make to endure for ever, and his throne as the days of heaven.

M'ap toujou chwazi yonn nan pitit pitit li yo pou wa. Gouvènman li a ap rete tout tan tout tan.

If his children forsake my law, and walk not in my judgments;

Men, si pitit pitit li yo pa obeyi lalwa mwen ba yo, si yo pa mache dapre lòd mwen ba yo,

If they break my statutes, and keep not my commandments;

si yo pa swiv prensip mwen ba yo, si yo pa fè tout sa mwen mande yo fè,

Then will I visit their transgression with the rod, and their iniquity with stripes.

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.

Nevertheless my lovingkindness will I not utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness to fail.

Men, se pa sa k'ap fè m' sispann renmen David, ni k'ap fè m' pa kenbe pwomès mwen te fè l' la.

My covenant will I not break, nor alter the thing that is gone out of my lips.

Non. Mwen p'ap kase kontra mwen pase ak li a, ni mwen p'ap janm manke l' pawòl.

Once have I sworn by my holiness that I will not lie unto David.

Depi mwen fè sèman sou non mwen yon sèl fwa, se fini: Mwen p'ap bay David manti.

His seed shall endure for ever, and his throne as the sun before me.

Pitit pitit li yo va toujou wa. Y'a gouvènen devan mwen toutotan solèy la va la.

It shall be established for ever as the moon, and as a faithful witness in heaven. Selah.

Gouvènman li an ap la pou tout tan, tankou lalin ki toujou klere nan syèl la.

But thou hast cast off and abhorred, thou hast been wroth with thine anointed.

Men, malgre sa, ou fache sou wa ou te chwazi a, ou vire do ba li, ou voye l' jete.

Thou hast made void the covenant of thy servant: thou hast profaned his crown by casting it to the ground.

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 broken down all his hedges; thou hast brought his strong holds to ruin.

Ou kraze tout miray li yo, ou lage yo atè. Ou kite tout fò li yo fin kraze nèt.

All that pass by the way spoil him: he is a reproach to his neighbours.

Tout moun k'ap pase nan lari ap piye kay li, tout vwazinaj li yo ap pase l' nan rizib.

Thou hast set up the right hand of his adversaries; thou hast made all his enemies to rejoice.

Ou kite lènmi l' yo kraze l' anba pye yo. Ou fè yo tout kontan.

Thou hast also turned the edge of his sword, and hast not made him to stand in the battle.

Ou kase dan tout zam li yo, ou kite yo kraze l' nan lagè.

Thou hast made his glory to cease, and cast his throne down to the ground.

Ou te wete baton kòmandman an nan men l', ou pran fotèy li a, ou jete l' atè.

The days of his youth hast thou shortened: thou hast covered him with shame. Selah.

Ou fè l' vin vye anvan lè li, ou fè l' wont nèt.

How long, LORD? wilt thou hide thyself for ever? shall thy wrath burn like fire?

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?

Remember how short my time is: wherefore hast thou made all men in vain?

Seyè, chonje moun pa anyen, lavi yo kout. Chonje se ou ki kreye tout moun pou yo tounen pousyè.

What man is he that liveth, and shall not see death? shall he deliver his soul from the hand of the grave? Selah.

Eske gen moun ki ka viv san l' pa janm mouri? Kisa yon moun ka fè pou l' pa janm al anba tè?

Lord, where are thy former lovingkindnesses, which thou swarest unto David in thy truth?

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?

Remember, Lord, the reproach of thy servants; how I do bear in my bosom the reproach of all the mighty people;

Seyè, pa bliye jan y'ap pase sèvitè ou yo nan betiz! Pa bliye jan moun lòt nasyon yo ap joure mwen!

Wherewith thine enemies have reproached, O LORD; wherewith they have reproached the footsteps of thine anointed.

Seyè, pa bliye jan lènmi ou yo ap joure, jan y'ap joure wa ou te chwazi a kote l' pase. Ann toujou fè lwanj Seyè a! Wi, se vre! Amèn!

Blessed be the LORD for evermore. Amen, and Amen.
