Psalms 119

ALEPH. Blessed are the undefiled in the way, who walk in the law of the LORD.

Ala bon sa bon pou moun k'ap mennen yon lavi san repwòch, pou moun k'ap mache dapre lalwa Seyè a!

Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart.

Ala bon sa bon pou moun ki kenbe prensip li yo, pou moun k'ap chache obeyi l' ak tout kè yo!

They also do no iniquity: they walk in his ways.

Moun konsa p'ap fè mal, y'ap mache nan chemen li mete devan yo.

Thou hast commanded us to keep thy precepts diligently.

Ou ban nou lòd pou nou swiv. Ou mande pou nou obeyi yo san manke yonn.

O that my ways were directed to keep thy statutes!

Jan m' ta renmen kenbe fèm pou m' toujou fè sa ou mande!

Then shall I not be ashamed, when I have respect unto all thy commandments.

Konsa, mwen p'ap janm wont lè m'ap kalkile kòmandman ou yo.

I will praise thee with uprightness of heart, when I shall have learned thy righteous judgments.

M'a fè lwanj ou avèk yon konsyans ki pwòp, lè m' aprann tou sa ou deside nan jistis ou.

I will keep thy statutes: O forsake me not utterly.

Mwen vle fè tou sa ou mande. Tanpri, pa lage m'.

BETH. Wherewithal shall a young man cleanse his way? by taking heed thereto according to thy word.

Kisa yon jenn gason dwe fè pou l' mennen bak li dwat? Se pou l' toujou mache jan ou di l' mache a.

With my whole heart have I sought thee: O let me not wander from thy commandments.

Mwen chache obeyi ou ak tout kè mwen. Pa kite m' dezobeyi kòmandman ou yo.

Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee.

Mwen sere pawòl ou yo nan kè mwen, pou m' pa fè peche kont ou.

Blessed art thou, O LORD: teach me thy statutes.

Mèsi, Bondye. Moutre m' tou sa ou vle m' fè.

With my lips have I declared all the judgments of thy mouth.

M'ap repete ak bouch mwen tout jijman ki soti nan bouch ou.

I have rejoiced in the way of thy testimonies, as much as in all riches.

Mwen pran plezi m' pou m' mache dapre prensip ou yo, tankou si m' te gen tout richès sou latè.

I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto thy ways.

M'ap kalkile sa ou ban nou lòd fè. M'ap egzaminen chemen ou mete devan nou.

I will delight myself in thy statutes: I will not forget thy word.

Mwen pran tout plezi m' nan fè sa ou mande. Mwen p'ap bliye pawòl ou yo.

GIMEL. Deal bountifully with thy servant, that I may live, and keep thy word.

Aji byen avè m', mwen menm k'ap sèvi ou la, pou m' ka viv, pou m' ka fè tou sa ou di m' fè.

Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of thy law.

Louvri je m' pou m' ka wè bèl bagay ki nan lalwa ou la.

I am a stranger in the earth: hide not thy commandments from me.

Se pase m'ap pase sou tè a. Tanpri, pa anpeche m' konnen kòmandman ou yo.

My soul breaketh for the longing that it hath unto thy judgments at all times.

Se tout tan kè m' ap bat, tèlman mwen anvi konnen sa ou deside.

Thou hast rebuked the proud that are cursed, which do err from thy commandments.

Ou rele dèyè awogan yo, bann madichon sa yo k'ap dezobeyi kòmandman ou yo.

Remove from me reproach and contempt; for I have kept thy testimonies.

Pa kite yo joure m', pa kite yo meprize m', paske mwen te kenbe prensip ou yo.

Princes also did sit and speak against me: but thy servant did meditate in thy statutes.

Menm si chèf yo chita pou pale m' mal, mwen menm k'ap sèvi ou la, m'ap kalkile sou sa ou vle m' fè a.

Thy testimonies also are my delight and my counsellors.

Prensip ou yo fè kè m' kontan. Se yo ki ban m' konsèy sa pou m' fè.

DALETH. My soul cleaveth unto the dust: quicken thou me according to thy word.

Mwen kouche atè nan pousyè a! Ban m' lavi ankò, jan ou te pwomèt la.

I have declared my ways, and thou heardest me: teach me thy statutes.

Mwen di ou tou sa m' te fè, ou reponn mwen. Tanpri, moutre m' tou sa ou vle m' fè.

Make me to understand the way of thy precepts: so shall I talk of thy wondrous works.

Fè m' konprann ki jan pou m' swiv lòd ou ban mwen yo. M'a kalkile bèl bagay ou fè yo.

My soul melteth for heaviness: strengthen thou me according unto thy word.

Mwen gen lapenn, dlo ap koule nan je m'. Mete m' sou de pye m' ankò, jan ou te pwomèt la.

Remove from me the way of lying: and grant me thy law graciously.

Pa kite m' lage kò m' nan bay manti. Fè m' favè sa a, moutre mwen lalwa ou.

I have chosen the way of truth: thy judgments have I laid before me.

Mwen pran desizyon pou m' swiv verite a. M'ap kenbe jijman ou yo devan je mwen.

I have stuck unto thy testimonies: O LORD, put me not to shame.

Mwen swiv prensip ou yo pwen pa pwen. Seyè, pa kite m' pran wont.

I will run the way of thy commandments, when thou shalt enlarge my heart.

M'ap prese obeyi kòmandman ou yo lè ou louvri lespri mwen.

HE. Teach me, O LORD, the way of thy statutes; and I shall keep it unto the end.

Seyè, moutre m' jan pou m' swiv lòd ou yo, pou m' obeyi yo jouk sa kaba.

Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law; yea, I shall observe it with my whole heart.

Ban m' lespri pou m' ka obeyi lalwa ou, pou m' fè sa l' mande a ak tout kè mwen.

Make me to go in the path of thy commandments; for therein do I delight.

Fè m' viv yon jan ki dakò ak kòmandman ou yo, paske se nan yo mwen jwenn tout plezi m'.

Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and not to covetousness.

Fè m' pi anvi swiv prensip ou yo pase pou m' anvi gen lajan.

Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; and quicken thou me in thy way.

Pa kite m' kouri dèyè bagay ki pa vo anyen. Fè m' swiv chemen ou mete devan m' lan.

Stablish thy word unto thy servant, who is devoted to thy fear.

Kenbe pwomès ou te fè sèvitè ou la, pwomès ou te fè pou moun ki gen krentif pou ou.

Turn away my reproach which I fear: for thy judgments are good.

Pa kite yo joure m', mwen pè bagay konsa. Ala bon jijman ou yo bon!

Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: quicken me in thy righteousness.

Ou wè jan m' anvi swiv lòd ou yo! Nan jistis ou, tanpri, ban m' lavi ankò!

VAU. Let thy mercies come also unto me, O LORD, even thy salvation, according to thy word.

Fè m' wè jan ou renmen m', Seyè! vin delivre m', jan ou te pwomèt la.

So shall I have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me: for I trust in thy word.

Lè sa a, m'a gen repons pou m' bay moun k'ap joure m' yo, paske mwen gen konfyans nan pawòl ou.

And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth; for I have hoped in thy judgments.

Pa janm wete pawòl verite a nan bouch mwen, paske mwen mete tout espwa mwen nan jijman ou yo.

So shall I keep thy law continually for ever and ever.

M'ap toujou obeyi lalwa ou la, pou tout tan tout tan.

And I will walk at liberty: for I seek thy precepts.

M'a mache alèz san anyen pa jennen m', paske m'ap toujou chache swiv lòd ou yo.

I will speak of thy testimonies also before kings, and will not be ashamed.

M'a fè wa yo konnen prensip ou yo, mwen p'ap wont fè sa.

And I will delight myself in thy commandments, which I have loved.

Mwen pran tout plezi m' nan obeyi kòmandman ou yo, paske mwen renmen yo.

My hands also will I lift up unto thy commandments, which I have loved; and I will meditate in thy statutes.

M'ap respekte kòmandman ou yo, paske mwen renmen yo. M'ap kalkile sou sa ou vle m' fè a.

ZAIN. Remember the word unto thy servant, upon which thou hast caused me to hope.

Chonje sa ou te di sèvitè ou la. Se sa ki te ban m' espwa.

This is my comfort in my affliction: for thy word hath quickened me.

Nan mizè mwen, tout konsolasyon m', se pwomès ou fè m' lan. Se sa ki fè m' viv.

The proud have had me greatly in derision: yet have I not declined from thy law.

Yon bann awogan ap pase m' nan betiz. Mwen pa janm dezobeyi lalwa ou.

I remembered thy judgments of old, O LORD; and have comforted myself.

Mwen chonje sa ou te deside nan tan lontan. Seyè, se sa ki ban m' kouraj.

Horror hath taken hold upon me because of the wicked that forsake thy law.

Sa mete m' ankòlè, lè m' wè jan mechan yo ap dezobeyi lalwa ou.

Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage.

Mwen fè chante ak sa ou mande m' fè, nan kay ki pa lakay mwen.

I have remembered thy name, O LORD, in the night, and have kept thy law.

Lannwit se ou m'ap chonje, Seyè. M'ap fè tou sa lalwa ou la mande m' fè.

This I had, because I kept thy precepts.

Pou mwen menm, men ki jan sa ye: se swiv m'ap swiv tout lòd ou yo.

CHETH. Thou art my portion, O LORD: I have said that I would keep thy words.

Seyè, mwen deja di ou sa: pou mwen menm, se kenbe m'ap kenbe pawòl ou yo.

I intreated thy favour with my whole heart: be merciful unto me according to thy word.

M'ap mande ou favè sa a ak tout kè m': Tanpri, gen pitye pou mwen, jan ou te di l' la.

I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto thy testimonies.

Mwen egzaminen jan m'ap viv la. Mwen chanje pou m' ka mache dapre prensip ou yo.

I made haste, and delayed not to keep thy commandments.

Mwen prese, mwen pa pran reta pou m' obeyi kòmandman ou yo.

The bands of the wicked have robbed me: but I have not forgotten thy law.

Mechan yo sènen m' toupatou ak pèlen yo. Men, mwen pa janm bliye lalwa ou la.

At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee because of thy righteous judgments.

Nan mitan lannwit mwen leve pou m' di ou mèsi, paske tout jijman ou yo san patipri.

I am a companion of all them that fear thee, and of them that keep thy precepts.

Mwen se zanmi tout moun ki gen krentif pou ou, zanmi tout moun k'ap swiv lòd ou yo.

The earth, O LORD, is full of thy mercy: teach me thy statutes.

Ou te aji byen avè m', sèvitè ou la, jan ou te pwomèt la.

Teach me good judgment and knowledge: for I have believed thy commandments.

Moutre m' sa ki byen, louvri lespri m', ban m' konesans, paske mwen gen konfyans nan kòmandman ou yo.

Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept thy word.

Anvan ou te pini m' lan, mwen te konn fè sa ki mal. Men koulye a, m'ap fè tou sa ou di m' fè.

Thou art good, and doest good; teach me thy statutes.

Ou gen bon kè, ou pa fè mechanste. Moutre m' sa ou vle m' fè.

The proud have forged a lie against me: but I will keep thy precepts with my whole heart.

Yon bann awogan ap fè manti sou mwen. Men mwen menm, m'ap swiv lòd ou yo ak tout kè m'.

Their heart is as fat as grease; but I delight in thy law.

Moun sa yo gen lespri yo bouche, men mwen menm, mwen pran tout plezi m' nan lalwa ou la.

It is good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes.

Pinisyon an te bon nèt pou mwen! Li fè m' konnen sa ou vle m' fè.

The law of thy mouth is better unto me than thousands of gold and silver.

Lalwa ou ban mwen an gen plis valè pou mwen pase tout richès ki sou latè.

JOD. Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: give me understanding, that I may learn thy commandments.

Se ou ki te kreye m', se ou ki te fè m' ak men ou. Ban m' lespri pou m' ka aprann kòmandman ou yo.

They that fear thee will be glad when they see me; because I have hoped in thy word.

Moun ki gen krentif pou ou va fè fèt lè y'a wè m', paske mwen te mete tout espwa m' nan pawòl ou.

I know, O LORD, that thy judgments are right, and that thou in faithfulness hast afflicted me.

Seyè, mwen konnen jijman ou yo san patipri. Ou te pini m' paske ou toujou kenbe pawòl ou.

Let, I pray thee, thy merciful kindness be for my comfort, according to thy word unto thy servant.

Jan ou te pwomèt mwen sa, mwen menm sèvitè ou la, konsole m', paske ou renmen m'.

Let thy tender mercies come unto me, that I may live: for thy law is my delight.

Gen pitye pou mwen pou m' ka viv, paske mwen pran tout plezi m' nan lalwa ou.

Let the proud be ashamed; for they dealt perversely with me without a cause: but I will meditate in thy precepts.

Bann awogan sa yo k'ap fini avè m' san rezon an, se pou yo wont. Mwen menm, m'ap kalkile lòd ou ban mwen yo.

Let those that fear thee turn unto me, and those that have known thy testimonies.

Se pou moun ki gen krentif pou ou ansanm ak moun ki konnen prensip ou yo tounen vin jwenn mwen.

Let my heart be sound in thy statutes; that I be not ashamed.

Se pou m' fè tou sa ou vle m' fè, san manke yonn, pou m' pa janm wont.

CAPH. My soul fainteth for thy salvation: but I hope in thy word.

Seyè, kè m' fè m' mal tèlman m'ap tann ou vin delivre mwen. Mwen mete tout espwa mwen nan pawòl ou.

Mine eyes fail for thy word, saying, When wilt thou comfort me?

Je m' yo fè m' mal tèlman m'ap veye sa ou te pwomèt la. M'ap mande: -Kilè w'a vin konsole m'?

For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; yet do I not forget thy statutes.

Mwen tankou yon vye kalbas ki pandye bò dife. Men, mwen pa janm bliye sa ou mande m' fè.

How many are the days of thy servant? when wilt thou execute judgment on them that persecute me?

Konbe jou sèvitè ou la rete pou l' viv ankò? Kilè w'a pini moun k'ap pèsekite m' yo?

The proud have digged pits for me, which are not after thy law.

Yon bann awogan fouye twou sou wout mwen, yo p'ap fè sa ou mande nan lalwa a.

All thy commandments are faithful: they persecute me wrongfully; help thou me.

Tout kòmandman ou yo se bagay ki sèten. Y'ap pèsekite m' san rezon. vin pote m' sekou!

They had almost consumed me upon earth; but I forsook not thy precepts.

Ti moso yo touye m'. Men, mwen menm, mwen pa janm dezobeyi lòd ou yo.

Quicken me after thy lovingkindness; so shall I keep the testimony of thy mouth.

Paske ou renmen m', ban m' lavi ankò pou m' ka swiv prensip ki soti nan bouch ou.

LAMED. For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven.

Seyè, pawòl ou la pou tout tan. Y'ap toujou rete jan yo ye a nan syèl la.

Thy faithfulness is unto all generations: thou hast established the earth, and it abideth.

Tout tan tout tan, w'ap toujou kenbe pawòl ou. Ou mete latè nan plas li, l'ap rete fèm.

They continue this day according to thine ordinances: for all are thy servants.

Jouk jounen jòdi a, tout bagay sou latè rete jan ou vle l' la, paske yo tout se sèvitè ou yo ye.

Unless thy law had been my delights, I should then have perished in mine affliction.

Si mwen pa t' pran plezi m' nan fè sa ou mande m' fè, atòkonsa mwen ta fin mouri nan mizè mwen.

I will never forget thy precepts: for with them thou hast quickened me.

Mwen p'ap janm bliye lòd ou bay yo paske se gremesi yo ou ban m' lavi ankò.

I am thine, save me; for I have sought thy precepts.

Se moun ou mwen ye. Sove m' non! M'ap toujou swiv lòd ou yo.

The wicked have waited for me to destroy me: but I will consider thy testimonies.

Yon bann mechan ap veye pou yo touye m'. Men mwen menm, m'ap veye pou m' mache dapre prensip ou yo.

I have seen an end of all perfection: but thy commandment is exceeding broad.

Mwen wè tou sa ki bon sou latè la pou yon ti tan. Men, kòmandman ou yo la pou tout tan.

Mwen pa janm vire do bay sa ou deside, paske se ou menm ki moutre mwen tout bagay.

How sweet are thy words unto my taste! yea, sweeter than honey to my mouth!

Ala dous pawòl ou yo dous anba lang mwen! Yo pi dous pase siwo myèl nan bouch mwen.

Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way.

Accept, I beseech thee, the freewill offerings of my mouth, O LORD, and teach me thy judgments.

My soul is continually in my hand: yet do I not forget thy law.

Se tout tan lavi m' an danje. Men, mwen p'ap janm bliye lalwa ou.

The wicked have laid a snare for me: yet I erred not from thy precepts.

Yon bann mechan tann pèlen pou mwen. Men, mwen pa t' dezobeyi lòd ou yo.

Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever: for they are the rejoicing of my heart.

Prensip ou yo se byen m' pou tout tan, se yo ki fè kè m' kontan.

I have inclined mine heart to perform thy statutes alway, even unto the end.

SAMECH. I hate vain thoughts: but thy law do I love.

Mwen rayi moun ki pa konn sa yo vle. Mwen renmen lalwa ou.

Thou art my hiding place and my shield: I hope in thy word.

Se ou ki defans mwen, se ou ki tout pwoteksyon mwen. Mwen mete tout espwa m' nan pawòl ou.

Depart from me, ye evildoers: for I will keep the commandments of my God.

Wete kò nou sou mwen, bann mechan, pou m' ka obeyi kòmandman Bondye mwen an.

Uphold me according unto thy word, that I may live: and let me not be ashamed of my hope.

Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth like dross: therefore I love thy testimonies.

Ou konsidere mechan ki sou latè tankou fatra. Se poutèt sa mwen renmen prensip ou yo.

My flesh trembleth for fear of thee; and I am afraid of thy judgments.

M'ap tranble nan tout kò m' sitèlman mwen pè ou. Wi, mwen pè jijman ou yo.

AIN. I have done judgment and justice: leave me not to mine oppressors.

Mwen fè sa ki dwat ak sa ki bon. Tanpri, pa lage m' nan men lènmi m' yo.

Be surety for thy servant for good: let not the proud oppress me.

Kanpe pou defann sèvitè ou la. Pa kite bann awogan yo mete pye sou kou mwen.

Mine eyes fail for thy salvation, and for the word of thy righteousness.

M'ap rele nan pye ou ak tout kè mwen. Reponn mwen, Seyè, pou m' ka toujou fè sa ou vle m' fè.

I cried unto thee; save me, and I shall keep thy testimonies.

M'ap rele ou, sove m' non, pou m' ka mache dapre prensip ou yo!

I prevented the dawning of the morning, and cried: I hoped in thy word.

Solèy poko leve, m'ap rele mande sekou. Tout espwa mwen se nan pawòl ou li ye.

Mine eyes prevent the night watches, that I might meditate in thy word.

Lannwit poko rive, mwen moute kabann mwen pou m' kalkile pawòl ou yo.

Hear my voice according unto thy lovingkindness: O LORD, quicken me according to thy judgment.

Seyè, koute sa m'ap di ou, paske ou gen bon kè. Ban m' lavi ankò, jan ou te pwomèt la.

They draw nigh that follow after mischief: they are far from thy law.

Moun ki soti pou touye m' yo pwoche bò kote m'. Se moun sa yo ki vire do bay lalwa a depi lontan.

Thou art near, O LORD; and all thy commandments are truth.

Men, ou toupre m', Seyè. Tout kòmandman ou yo se bagay ki vre.

Concerning thy testimonies, I have known of old that thou hast founded them for ever.

Gen lontan depi mwen konnen prensip ou yo. Yo la pou tout tan.

RESH. Consider mine affliction, and deliver me: for I do not forget thy law.

Gade nan ki mizè mwen ye. Delivre m' non, paske mwen pa janm bliye lalwa ou!

Plead my cause, and deliver me: quicken me according to thy word.

Defann kòz mwen, delivre m'. Ban m' lavi ankò, jan ou te pwomèt la.

Salvation is far from the wicked: for they seek not thy statutes.

Mechan yo p'ap janm sove, paske yo p'ap chache konnen sa ou vle yo fè.

Great are thy tender mercies, O LORD: quicken me according to thy judgments.

Seyè, ou pa manke gen kè sansib! Ban m' lavi ankò, jan ou te deside l' la.

Many are my persecutors and mine enemies; yet do I not decline from thy testimonies.

Mwen gen anpil moun ki pa vle wè m'. Mwen pa janm mete prensip ou yo sou kote.

I beheld the transgressors, and was grieved; because they kept not thy word.

Lè m'ap gade bann trèt sa yo, sa ban m' degoutans, paske se pa moun k'ap obeyi pawòl ou.

Consider how I love thy precepts: quicken me, O LORD, according to thy lovingkindness.

Gade jan m' renmen lòd ou yo, Seyè! Ban m' lavi ankò, paske ou renmen m'.

Thy word is true from the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments endureth for ever.

Tou sa ki nan pawòl ou se verite. Tout jijman ou yo se jijman ki san patipri. Yo la pou tout tan.

SCHIN. Princes have persecuted me without a cause: but my heart standeth in awe of thy word.

Yon bann chèf ap pèsekite m' san rezon, men se pou pawòl ou yo mwen gen krentif.
