Let's talk about God by Roselaure Beton (feel good books to read .TXT) 📖

Yo awogan, y'ap plede mache di jan y'ap kraponnen moun.

9 They have set their mouth in the heavens, And their tongue walketh through the earth.
9 Yo pale Bondye ki anwo nan syèl la mal, y'ap bay tout lòt moun lòd avèk awogans.

10 Therefore his people return hither: And waters of a full cup are drained by them.
10 Se konsa, menm pèp Bondye a fè bann ak yo, yo vale tou sa yo di yo san di yon mo.

11 And they say, How doth God know? And is there knowledge in the Most High?
11 Epi yo di: -Ki jan pou Bondye fè konnen? Moun ki anwo nan syèl la, ki bò l' ta pase pou li konnen?

12 Behold, these are the wicked; And, being alway at ease, they increase in riches.
12 Wi, men ki jan mechan yo ye: Yo toujou alèz, y'ap anpile richès sou riches.

13 Surely in vain have I cleansed my heart, And washed my hands in innocency;
13 Nan kondisyon sa a, gen lè se pou gremesi mwen kenbe kò m' pou m' pa fè move bagay? Se pou gremesi mwen refize mete men m' nan move zafè?

14 For all the day long have I been plagued, And chastened every morning.
14 Se tout lajounen, Bondye, w'ap fè m' soufri. Chak maten, ou la pou pini mwen.

15 ¶ If I had said, I will speak thus; Behold, I had dealt treacherously with the generation of thy children.
15 ¶ Si m' di nan kè m': Bon, m'ap pale tankou mechan yo! Si m' fè sa, se trayi mwen ta trayi moun k'ap sèvi ou yo.

16 When I thought how I might know this, It was too painful for me;
16 Se konsa mwen kalkile anpil pou m' konprann bagay sa a. Men, se pa t' bagay fasil menm pou mwen,

17 Until I went into the sanctuary of God, And considered their latter end.
17 jouk lè mwen te al antre lakay ou, pou m' wè jan mechan yo gen pou yo fini.

18 Surely thou settest them in slippery places: Thou castest them down to destruction.
18 Wi, ou mete yo sou yon chemen glise, ou fè yo tonbe, epi yo fini.

19 How are they become a desolation in a moment! They are utterly consumed with terrors.
19 Kisa ou konprann? Anvan ou bat je ou yo fini, yo disparèt sitèlman yo pè.

20 As a dream when one awaketh, So, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou wilt despise their image.
20 Seyè, yo tankou yon rèv pou ou. Leve ou leve, ou bliye sa.

21 ¶ For my soul was grieved, And I was pricked in my heart:
21 ¶ Lè sa a, mwen santi m' dekouraje; sa te fè m' mal anpil.

22 So brutish was I, and ignorant; I was as a beast before thee.
22 Mwen te sòt, mwen pa t' konprann anyen. Mwen te tankou yon bèt devan ou.

23 Nevertheless I am continually with thee: Thou hast holden my right hand.
23 Mwen menm, mwen toujou la avèk ou, ou kenbe men m' pou m' pa tonbe.

24 Thou wilt guide me with thy counsel, And afterward receive me to glory.
24 Ou ban m' konsèy pou m' pa pèdi chemen m'. Lèfini, ou resevwa m' lakay ou.

25 Whom have I in heaven but thee? And there is none upon earth that I desire besides thee.
25 Se ou menm sèl mwen gen nan syèl la. Mwen pa gen lòt. Se ou ki tout plezi m' sou latè.

26 My flesh and my heart faileth; But God is the strength of my heart and my portion for ever.
26 Kò m' te mèt ap deperi, lespri m' te mèt ap gaga, se ou menm menm, Bondye, ki tout fòs mwen, se ou menm ki tout mwen.

27 For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: Thou hast destroyed all them that play the harlot, departing from thee.
27 Se vre wi, moun ki vire do ba ou pral mouri, w'ap fini nèt ak moun ki pa kenbe pawòl yo gen avè ou.

28 But it is good for me to draw near unto God: I have made the Lord Jehovah my refuge, That I may tell of all thy works.
28 Mwen menm, sa bon nèt pou m' rete bò kot Bondye: Se nan Seyè a mwen jwenn pwoteksyon. M'a fè konnen tou sa li fè.

Sòm 74

1 ¶ Maschil of Asaph. O God, why hast thou cast us off for ever? Why doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?
1 ¶ Se yon chante Asaf. Bondye, poukisa ou lage nou nèt konsa? Poukisa ou an kolè konsa sou moun pa ou yo, sou mouton ki nan savann ou yo?

2 Remember thy congregation, which thou hast gotten of old, Which thou hast redeemed to be the tribe of thine inheritance; And mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt.
2 Pa bliye pèp ou te chwazi depi nan tan lontan an, pèp ou te achte pou ou te fè yo tounen moun pa ou! Pa bliye mòn Siyon kote ou te chwazi pou rete a!

3 Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual ruins, All the evil that the enemy hath done in the sanctuary.
3 vin wè sa ki rete apre ravaj la! Lènmi nou yo fin kraze dènye bagay nan kay ki apa pou ou a.

4 Thine adversaries have roared in the midst of thine assembly; They have set up their ensigns for signs.
4 Moun ki pa vle wè ou yo, yo kanpe nan mitan kote pèp ou konn reyini an, y'ap rele byen fò. Yo wete tou sa ki nan tanp lan, yo mete drapo pa yo.

5 They seemed as men that lifted up Axes upon a thicket of trees.
5 Yo tankou moun k'ap voye kout rach pou koupe pyebwa nan yon gwo rak.

6 And now all the carved work thereof They break down with hatchet and hammers.
6 Yo kraze bout bèl panno bwa byen travay ki te nan tanp lan, anba kout rach ak kout mato.

7 They have set thy sanctuary on fire; They have profaned the dwelling-place of thy name by casting it to the ground.
7 Yo mete dife nan kay ki apa pou ou a, yo derespekte kote yo fè sèvis pou ou a, yo kraze l' vide atè.

8 They said in their heart, Let us make havoc of them altogether: They have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land.
8 Nan kè yo yo te di: Ann kraze yo tout yon sèl kou! Yo boule tout kote ki te apa pou Bondye nan peyi a!

9 We see not our signs: There is no more any prophet; Neither is there among us any that knoweth how long.
9 Tout bèl bagay ki te nan tanp lan disparèt. Pa gen pwofèt ankò. Pesonn pa konnen kilè sa va chanje.

10 How long, O God, shall the adversary reproach? Shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever?
10 Bondye, kilè moun k'ap pile nou anba pye yo va sispann joure? Gen lè lènmi yo p'ap janm gen respè pou non ou?

11 Why drawest thou back thy hand, even thy right hand? Pluck it out of thy bosom and consume them.
11 Poukisa ou derefize ede nou? Poukisa ou rete kanpe ap gade, de bra ou kwaze?

12 ¶ Yet God is my King of old, Working salvation in the midst of the earth.
12 ¶ Men, Bondye, se ou ki wa nou depi nan tan lontan. Ou fè nou genyen anpil batay sou latè.

13 Thou didst divide the sea by thy strength: Thou brakest the heads of the sea-monsters in the waters.
13 Se avèk pouvwa ou ou te fann lanmè a. Se avè l' ou te kraze tèt gwo bèt lanmè yo.

14 Thou brakest the heads of leviathan in pieces; Thou gavest him to be food to the people inhabiting the wilderness.
14 Se ou ki kraze tèt levyatan an, lèfini, ou fè bèt k'ap viv nan dezè a manje l'.

15 Thou didst cleave fountain and flood: Thou driedst up mighty rivers.
15 Ou te fè sous dlo pete, ou fè larivyè koule. Ou fe gwo larivyè rete konsa yo chèch.

16 The day is thine, the night also is thine: Thou hast prepared the light and the sun.
16 Ou fè lajounen, ou fè lannwit. Se ou ki mete lalin lan ak solèy la nan plas yo.

17 Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: Thou hast made summer and winter.
17 Se ou ki fikse limit tè a. Se ou ki fè sezon chalè ak sezon fredi.

18 ¶ Remember this, that the enemy hath reproached, O Jehovah, And that a foolish people hath blasphemed thy name.
18 ¶ Seyè, pa bliye jan lènmi ou yo ap pase ou nan rizib. Se yon bann moun san konprann ki pa gen respè pou non ou!

19 Oh deliver not the soul of thy turtle-dove unto the wild beast: Forget not the life of thy poor for ever.
19 Pa lage pèp ou nan men lènmi l' yo tankou toutrèl devan malfini. Pa bliye moun pa ou yo ki nan mizè nèt.

20 Have respect unto the covenant; For the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of violence.
20 Chonje kontra ou te siyen avèk yo a! Paske, nan tout ti kwen peyi a, nan tout mòn yo se ansasen.

21 Oh let not the oppressed return ashamed: Let the poor and needy praise thy name.
21 Pa kite moun y'ap peze yo wont! Fè pou pòv malere yo ka fè lwanj ou.

22 Arise, O God, plead thine own cause: Remember how the foolish man reproacheth thee all the day.
22 Leve non, Bondye! Defann kòz ou! Pa bliye jan moun fou sa yo ap joure ou tout lajounen!

23 Forget not the voice of thine adversaries: The tumult of those that rise up against thee ascendeth continually.
23 Pa bliye jan lènmi ou yo ap rele byen fò! Pa bliye jan moun ki pa vle wè ou yo ap fè eskandal san rete.

Sòm 75

1 ¶ For the Chief Musician; set to Al-tashheth. A Psalm of Asaph, a Song. We give thanks unto thee, O God; We give thanks, for thy name is near: Men tell of thy wondrous works.
1 ¶ Pou chèf sanba yo. Se pou yo chante l' sou menm lè ak chante ki di: Pa detwi. Sòm Asaf sa a se yon chante li ye. N'ap fè lwanj ou, Bondye! N'ap fè lwanj ou! Se tout tan n'ap nonmen non ou! N'ap fè konnen bèl mèvèy ou fè yo!

2 When I shall find the set time, I will judge uprightly.
2 Bondye di: -Mwen fikse yon dat pou jijman an. Lè sa a, m'a jije jan sa dwe fèt.

3 The earth and all the inhabitants thereof are dissolved: I have set up the pillars of it. Selah
3 Nou te mèt wè latè a ansanm ak tout
