33 ¶ Nou tout k'ap viv jan Bondye vle l' la, fè kè nou kontan pou sa Seyè a fè. Nou tout k'ap mache dwat devan li, li bon pou n' fè lwanj li.

Jwe enstriman mizik pou di Seyè a mèsi! Jwe gita dis kòd la, fè fèt pou li.

Chante yon chante tou nèf pou li. Wi, jwe bèl mizik, chante byen fò.

Paske, pawòl Seyè a se verite. Li fè tout bagay jan l' te di l' la.

Seyè a renmen sa ki dwat, li renmen sa ki san patipri. Toupatou sou latè nou wè jan li gen bon kè.

Seyè a pale, epi syèl la fèt. Li soufle ak bouch li, tou sa ki nan syèl la fèt.

Li ranmase tout dlo lanmè a yon sèl kote. Li mete tout dlo ki nan fon lanmè a nan rezèvwa.

Se pou tout moun sou latè gen krentif pou Seyè a. Se pou tout moun sou latè tranble devan li.

Paske, li pale, bagay la rive. Li bay lòd, tout bagay fèt.

10 Seyè a detounen plan travay peyi yo, li anpeche pèp yo reyalize sa yo te gen lide fè.

11 Men, plan travay Seyè a la pou tout tan. Sa l' gen lide fè a ap toujou fèt.

12 ¶ Ala bon sa bon lè yon peyi gen Seyè a pou Bondye li! Ala bon sa bon pou pèp li chwazi pou rele l' pa l' la!

13 Seyè a rete nan syèl la, li gade anba, li wè tout moun.

14 Kote li ye lakay li a, li gade anba, li wè sa tout moun ap fè sou tè a.

15 Se li menm ki penmèt yo gen lide nan tèt yo, l'ap veye tou sa y'ap fè.

16 Se pa yon gwo lame k'ap fè yon wa genyen batay la. Se pa gwo kouray k'ap fè yon sòlda kraze lènmi l' yo.

17 Pa mete nan tèt ou yon chwal ka fè ou genyen batay la. Bon kou l' bon, li pa ka sove pesonn.

18 Seyè a ap veye sou moun ki gen krentif pou li. L'ap veye sou moun ki met espwa yo nan li paske yo konnen li renmen yo.

19 L'ap rache yo anba lanmò. L'ap kenbe yo vivan lè grangou tonbe sou peyi a.

20 Nou mete tout espwa nou nan Seyè a. Se li menm ki tout sekou nou. Se li menm ki tout pwoteksyon nou.

21 Se li ki fè kè nou kontan. Nou mete konfyans nou nan li ki yon Bondye apa.

22 Tanpri, Seyè, toujou fè nou favè, menm jan nou menm nou mete tout espwa nou nan ou.

34 ¶ (34:1) Yon jou David te pran pòz moun fou li devan Abimelèk, pou Abimelèk te kite l' ale. Se aprè sa David ekri sòm sa a. (34:2) Se tout tan m'ap di Seyè a mesi, mwen p'ap janm sispann fè lwanj li.

(34:3) M'ap fè lwanj li pou sa li te fè. Se pou tout moun ki anba tray tande sa pou yo ka fè kè yo kontan.

(34:4) Mete tèt nou ansanm avè m' pou fè konnen jan Seyè a gen pouvwa. Ann fè lwanj li ansanm!

(34:5) Mwen te kriye nan pye Seyè a, li te reponn mwen. Li delivre m' anba tout sa ki t'ap fè m' pè yo.

(34:6) Lè nou vire je nou gade l', sa fè kè nou kontan. Nou p'ap janm wont.

(34:7) Lè moun ki san sekou yo rele l', li reponn yo, li delivre yo anba tout tray.

(34:8) Zanj Seyè a kanpe bò kote tout moun ki gen krentif pou li, pou pwoteje yo. Li delivre yo lè yo nan danje.

(34:9) Goute, n'a wè jan Seyè a bon! Ala bon sa bon pou moun ki jwenn pwoteksyon anba zèl li!

(34:10) Nou tout pèp Seyè a, se pou nou gen krentif pou li, paske moun ki gen krentif pou li p'ap janm manke anyen.

10 (34:11) Moun rich konn manke manje, yo konn rete grangou. Men, moun k'ap chache fè volonte Seyè a p'ap manke anyen.

11 ¶ (34:12) Vini non, timoun mwen yo, koute sa m'ap di nou. M'a fè nou konnen ki jan pou nou gen krentif pou Seyè a.

12 (34:13) Ki moun ki ta renmen jwi lavi? Ki moun ki ta renmen viv lontan ak kè kontan?

13 (34:14) Se moun ki pa lage kò yo nan pale moun mal ni nan bay manti.

14 (34:15) Sispann fè sa ki mal. Fè sa ki byen! Chache jan pou nou viv byen ak moun. Fè tou sa nou kapab pou nou viv byen ak tout moun.

15 (34:16) Seyè a ap veye moun ki mache dwat devan l' yo. L'ap koute yo lè y'ap rele nan pye l'.

16 (34:17) Men, Seyè a vire do bay moun k'ap fè sa ki mal, pou pesonn sou latè pa janm chonje yo.

17 (34:18) Lè moun ki mache dwat yo rele l', li tande yo. Li wete yo anba tray.

18 (34:19) Seyè a kanpe toupre moun ki dekouraje yo, li delivre tout moun ki te pèdi espwa.

19 (34:20) Lè yon moun ap mache dwat, li gen pou l' soufri anpil. Men, Seyè a ap delivre l' anba tout soufrans li yo.

20 (34:21) L'ap pwoteje l' nèt ale. Pa yon ti zo nan kò l' p'ap kraze.

21 (34:22) Malè gen pou fini ak mechan yo. Moun ki pa vle wè moun k'ap mache dwat yo gen pou yo tonbe anba chatiman.

22 (34:23) Seyè a ap delivre moun k'ap sèvi l' yo, li p'ap kondannen okenn moun ki chache pwoteksyon bò kote l'.

Psalm 33

Sing joyfully(A) to the Lord, you righteous;
    it is fitting(B) for the upright(C) to praise him.
Praise the Lord with the harp;(D)
    make music to him on the ten-stringed lyre.(E)
Sing to him a new song;(F)
    play skillfully, and shout for joy.(G)

For the word of the Lord is right(H) and true;(I)
    he is faithful(J) in all he does.
The Lord loves righteousness and justice;(K)
    the earth is full of his unfailing love.(L)

By the word(M) of the Lord the heavens were made,(N)
    their starry host(O) by the breath of his mouth.
He gathers the waters(P) of the sea into jars[a];(Q)
    he puts the deep into storehouses.
Let all the earth fear the Lord;(R)
    let all the people of the world(S) revere him.(T)
For he spoke, and it came to be;
    he commanded,(U) and it stood firm.

10 The Lord foils(V) the plans(W) of the nations;(X)
    he thwarts the purposes of the peoples.
11 But the plans of the Lord stand firm(Y) forever,
    the purposes(Z) of his heart through all generations.

12 Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord,(AA)
    the people he chose(AB) for his inheritance.(AC)
13 From heaven the Lord looks down(AD)
    and sees all mankind;(AE)
14 from his dwelling place(AF) he watches
    all who live on earth—
15 he who forms(AG) the hearts of all,
    who considers everything they do.(AH)

16 No king is saved by the size of his army;(AI)
    no warrior escapes by his great strength.
17 A horse(AJ) is a vain hope for deliverance;
    despite all its great strength it cannot save.
18 But the eyes(AK) of the Lord are on those who fear him,
    on those whose hope is in his unfailing love,(AL)
19 to deliver them from death(AM)
    and keep them alive in famine.(AN)

20 We wait(AO) in hope for the Lord;
    he is our help and our shield.
21 In him our hearts rejoice,(AP)
    for we trust in his holy name.(AQ)
22 May your unfailing love(AR) be with us, Lord,
    even as we put our hope in you.

Psalm 34[b][c]

Of David. When he pretended to be insane(AS) before Abimelek, who drove him away, and he left.

I will extol the Lord at all times;(AT)
    his praise will always be on my lips.
I will glory(AU) in the Lord;
    let the afflicted hear and rejoice.(AV)
Glorify the Lord(AW) with me;
    let us exalt(AX) his name together.

I sought the Lord,(AY) and he answered me;
    he delivered(AZ) me from all my fears.
Those who look to him are radiant;(BA)
    their faces are never covered with shame.(BB)
This poor man called, and the Lord heard him;
    he saved him out of all his troubles.(BC)
The angel of the Lord(BD) encamps around those who fear him,
    and he delivers(BE) them.

Taste and see that the Lord is good;(BF)
    blessed is the one who takes refuge(BG) in him.
Fear the Lord,(BH) you his holy people,
    for those who fear him lack nothing.(BI)
10 The lions may grow weak and hungry,
    but those who seek the Lord lack no good thing.(BJ)
11 Come, my children, listen(BK) to me;
    I will teach you(BL) the fear of the Lord.(BM)
12 Whoever of you loves life(BN)
    and desires to see many good days,
13 keep your tongue(BO) from evil
    and your lips from telling lies.(BP)
14 Turn from evil and do good;(BQ)
    seek peace(BR) and pursue it.

15 The eyes of the Lord(BS) are on the righteous,(BT)
    and his ears are attentive(BU) to their cry;
16 but the face of the Lord is against(BV) those who do evil,(BW)
    to blot out their name(BX) from the earth.

17 The righteous cry out, and the Lord hears(BY) them;
    he delivers them from all their troubles.
18 The Lord is close(BZ) to the brokenhearted(CA)
    and saves those who are crushed in spirit.

19 The righteous person may have many troubles,(CB)
    but the Lord delivers him from them all;(CC)
20 he protects all his bones,
    not one of them will be broken.(CD)

21 Evil will slay the wicked;(CE)
    the foes of the righteous will be condemned.
22 The Lord will rescue(CF) his servants;
    no one who takes refuge(CG) in him will be condemned.

24 ¶ Apre senk jou, Ananyas, granprèt la, rive Sezare ak yon avoka yo rele Tètilis ansanm ak kèk chèf fanmi. Yo parèt devan gouvènè a; yo te vin pote plent pou Pòl.

Yo fè rele Pòl. Lè sa a Tetilis kòmanse pale, li t'ap akize Pòl konsa: Ekselans, se ou ki fè nou gen lapè depi lontan. Se sou gouvènman ou yo fè anpil refòm nesesè pou byen peyi a, tèlman ou gen bon konprann.

Pou tou sa w'ap fè depi lontan toupatou, n'ap di ou mèsi anpil ak tout kè nou.

Mwen pa vle pran twòp tan ou. Men tanpri souple, pran pasyans, koute sa nou gen pou n' di ou la a. Nou p'ap pale anpil.

Nou fin wè nonm sa a se yon gwo nwizans: l'ap mache fè dezòd nan mitan jwif yo toupatou sou latè. Se chèf gwoup Nazareyen yo li ye.

Li menm seye derespekte tanp lan. Lè nou wè sa, nou arete l'. Nou te vle jije l' dapre Lalwa nou an.

Men, kòmandan Lizyas antre nan koze a, li aji yon jan brital ak nou, li wete li nan men nou.

Apre sa, Lizyas bay moun ki t'ap akize l' yo lòd pou yo vin parèt devan ou. Si ou poze nonm sa a keksyon, wa wè ou menm tou, ki jan sa n'ap di la a se verite tou klè.

Tout jwif yo te dakò avèk li, yo t'ap di se konsa bagay la te ye vre.

10 ¶ Gouvènè a fè Pòl siy pou l' pale. Pòl di: Mwen konnen w'ap fè jistis nan peyi a depi lontan. Se ak kè poze mwen vin plede kòz mwen devan ou.

11 Ou mèt pran ranseyman, jòdi a fè douz jou depi mwen te moute Jerizalèm pou m' al fè sèvis pou Bondye.

12 Jwif yo pa jwenn mwen ap diskite ak pesonn nan tanp lan, yo pa bare m' ap moute tèt pesonn ni nan sinagòg yo ni okenn lòt kote nan lavil la.

13 Moun sa yo pa ka bay okenn prèv pou tou sa yo sot di mwen fè a.

14 Men, m'ap rekonèt sa devan ou: m'ap sèvi Bondye zansèt nou yo dapre chemen yo pretann di ki pa bon an. Men, mwen kwè tout bagay ki ekri nan lalwa Moyiz la ak nan liv pwofèt yo.

15 Mwen gen espwa sa a, epi mwen konnen yo genyen l' tou; yon jou Bondye gen pou fè tout moun, bon kou mechan, leve soti vivan nan lanmò.

16 Se konsa m'ap fè posib mwen pou m' toujou kenbe konsyans mwen san repwòch devan Bondye ak devan moun.

17 Apre mwen fin pase anpil lanne deyò, mwen tounen Jerizalèm. Mwen te vin pote yon ti lajan pou ede pèp mwen an, epi m' tou pwofite fè ofrann bèt pou Bondye.

18 Men sa m' t'ap fè lè yo jwenn mwen nan tanp lan. Mwen te fin patisipe nan jou sèvis pou mete moun nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis Bondye. Pa te gen foul moun avè m', pa te gen kras dezòd.

19 Men, te gen kèk jwif ki te soti nan pwovens Lazi, se yo menm ki te dwe la devan ou pou akize m', si yo te gen kichòy kont mwen.

20 Osinon, se pou moun ki isit la di ki move zak yo jwenn mwen te fè lè m' te kanpe devan Gran Konsèy la.

21 Men sèl pawòl mwen te di byen fò lè m' te kanpe devan yo tout la: Se paske mwen kwè mò yo gen pou leve vivan ankò kifè yo rele m' an jijman devan nou jòdi a.

22 ¶ Feliks ki te okouran tout bagay sou chemen Bondye a, ranvwaye jijman an pou pita. Li di yo konsa: Lè kòmandan Lizyas va vini, m'a pran yon desizyon sou zafè sa a.

23 Li bay ofisye ki te reskonsab Pòl la lòd pou l' pa lage l', men pou l' ba li kèk ti libète, epi pou kite zanmi l' yo rann li ti sèvis.

24 Kèk jou apre sa, Feliks vini avèk Drisil, madanm li, ki te yon jwif. Li voye rele Pòl, li te vle tande sa Pòl te gen pou l' di sou konfyans nan Jezikri a.

25 Men, lè Pòl pran pale sou jan moun dwe viv byen, sou jan moun dwe kontwole kò yo, sou jou jijman ki gen pou vini an, Feliks soti pè, li di: Bon, koulye a ou mèt ale. Lè m'a gen tan m'a rele ou ankò.

26 Li te mete nan tèt li Pòl ta ka ba li lajan. Se poutèt sa plizyè fwa li te fè l' vin koze avèk li.

27 Dezan pase konsa. Feliks menm ki te vle fè jwif yo plezi te kite Pòl nan prizon tout tan sa a. Apre sa, Pòsiyis Festis vin moute gouvènè nan plas Feliks.

Paul’s Trial Before Felix

24 Five days later the high priest Ananias(A) went down to Caesarea with some of the elders and a lawyer named Tertullus, and they brought their charges(B) against Paul before the governor.(C) When Paul was called in, Tertullus presented his case before Felix: “We have enjoyed a long period of peace under you, and your foresight has brought about reforms in this nation. Everywhere and in every way, most excellent(D) Felix, we acknowledge this with profound gratitude. But in order not to weary you further, I would request that you be kind enough to hear us briefly.

“We have found this man to be a troublemaker, stirring up riots(E) among the Jews(F) all over the world. He is a ringleader of the Nazarene(G) sect(H) and even tried to desecrate the temple;(I) so we seized him. [7] [a] By examining him yourself you will be able to learn the truth about all these charges we are bringing against him.”

The other Jews joined in the accusation,(J) asserting that these things were true.

10 When the governor(K) motioned for him to speak, Paul replied: “I know that for a number of years you have been a judge over this nation; so I gladly make my defense. 11 You can easily verify that no more than twelve days(L) ago I went up to Jerusalem to worship. 12 My accusers did not find me arguing with anyone at the temple,(M) or stirring up a crowd(N) in the synagogues or anywhere else in the city. 13 And they cannot prove to you the charges they are now making against me.(O) 14 However, I admit that I worship the God of our ancestors(P) as a follower of the Way,(Q) which they call a sect.(R) I believe everything that is in accordance with the Law and that is written in the Prophets,(S) 15 and I have the same hope in God as these men themselves have, that there will be a resurrection(T) of both the righteous and the wicked.(U) 16 So I strive always to keep my conscience clear(V) before God and man.

17 “After an absence of several years, I came to Jerusalem to bring my people gifts for the poor(W) and to present offerings. 18 I was ceremonially clean(X) when they found me in the temple courts doing this. There was no crowd with me, nor was I involved in any disturbance.(Y) 19 But there are some Jews from the province of Asia,(Z) who ought to be here before you and bring charges if they have anything against me.(AA) 20 Or these who are here should state what crime they found in me when I stood before the Sanhedrin— 21 unless it was this one thing I shouted as I stood in their presence: ‘It is concerning the resurrection of the dead that I am on trial before you today.’”(AB)

22 Then Felix, who was well acquainted with the Way,(AC) adjourned the proceedings. “When Lysias the commander comes,” he said, “I will decide your case.” 23 He ordered the centurion to keep Paul under guard(AD) but to give him some freedom(AE) and permit his friends to take care of his needs.(AF)

24 Several days later Felix came with his wife Drusilla, who was Jewish. He sent for Paul and listened to him as he spoke about faith in Christ Jesus.(AG) 25 As Paul talked about righteousness, self-control(AH) and the judgment(AI) to come, Felix was afraid(AJ) and said, “That’s enough for now! You may leave. When I find it convenient, I will send for you.” 26 At the same time he was hoping that Paul would offer him a bribe, so he sent for him frequently and talked with him.

27 When two years had passed, Felix was succeeded by Porcius Festus,(AK) but because Felix wanted to grant a favor to the Jews,(AL) he left Paul in prison.(AM)
