66 ¶ Pou chèf sanba yo. Chante sa a se yon sòm li ye. Nou tout ki rete sou latè, rele ak kè kontan pou Bondye! Fe fèt pou fè lwanj Bondye!

Chante pouvwa Bondye! Fè gwo fèt pou fè lwanj li!

Di Bondye: -Sa ou fè yo se bagay ki pou fè moun respekte ou. Ou sitèlman gen pouvwa, lènmi ou yo ap flate ou.

Tout moun ki rete sou latè ap adore ou. Y'ap chante pou ou, y'ap chante pou sa ou fè.

Vini non! Al gade sa Bondye fè! Li fè bagay ki pou fè moun sou latè respekte li.

Li fè fon lanmè a tounen tè sèk: Zansèt nou yo travèse rivyè a san pye yo pa mouye. Ann fè kè nou kontan pou sa li te fè!

Avèk fòs kouraj li l'ap dominen pou tout tan. L'ap gade tout sa nasyon yo ap fè. Si gen moun ki vle fè rebèl, pito yo pa leve tèt yo?

¶ Nou menm pèp yo, di Bondye mèsi! Fè tout moun tande jan n'ap fè lwanj li!

Se li menm ki ban nou lavi. Li pa kite pye nou glise.

10 Bondye, ou te fè nou pase anba tray pou ou te wè kote nou ye. Wi, menm jan yo pase lò nan dife pou wè si li bon, se konsa ou te fè nou pase anba tray.

11 Ou te kite nou tonbe nan pèlen an. Ou te mete yon chay lou sou do nou.

12 Ou kite nenpòt moun ap pase nou lòd. Nou pase nan dife, nou pase nan gwo dlo. Men, ou wete nou nan tout move pa, ou delivre nou.

13 ¶ M'a vin lakay ou ak bèt pou yo boule pou ou, m'a ofri ou sa mwen te pwomèt ou a.

14 M'a kenbe pawòl mwen te di lè m' te nan tray la.

15 M'a ofri mouton byen gra pou yo boule pou ou sou lotèl la, ansanm ak odè vyann y'ap boukannen pou ou. Wi, m'a ofri ou towo bèf ak bouk kabrit.

16 vin koute non, nou tout ki gen krentif pou Bondye. M'a di nou sa Bondye fè pou mwen.

17 Mwen rele nan pye l', mwen te deja pare pou m' te fè lwanj li.

18 Si mwen te gen move lide nan tèt mwen, Seyè a pa ta koute sa m' t'ap di l' la.

19 Men Bondye te koute sa m' t'ap di l' la, li te tande m' lè m' t'ap lapriyè.

20 Lwanj pou Bondye! Mèsi Bondye! Ou pa t' kite m' lapriyè pou gremesi. Ou pa t' refize fè m' wè jan ou gen bon kè.

67 ¶ (67:1) Pou chèf sanba yo. Se sou enstriman akòd pou yo jwe mizik la. Sòm sa a se yon chante. (67:2) Tanpri, Bondye, gen pitye pou nou! Voye benediksyon ou sou nou! Fè nou santi ou la avèk nou,

(67:3) pou tout moun sou latè ka konnen sa ou vle, pou tout lòt nasyon yo ka konnen se ou ki delivre lèzòm.

(67:4) Se pou tout pèp sou latè fè lwanj ou, Bondye. Wi, se pou tout pèp sou latè fè lwanj ou.

(67:5) Se pou tout nasyon yo fè kè yo kontan. Se pou yo chante tèlman yo kontan, paske ou jije pèp yo san patipri, ou dirije tout nasyon ki sou latè.

(67:6) Se pou tout pèp sou latè fè lwanj ou, Bondye. Wi, se pou tout pèp sou latè fè lwanj ou.

(67:7) Latè bay rekòt. Bondye ki Bondye nou an te voye benediksyon li sou nou.

(67:8) Wi, Bondye te voye benediksyon li sou nou. Se pou tout moun toupatou sou latè gen krentif pou li.

Psalm 66

For the director of music. A song. A psalm.

Shout for joy to God, all the earth!(A)
    Sing the glory of his name;(B)
    make his praise glorious.(C)
Say to God, “How awesome are your deeds!(D)
    So great is your power
    that your enemies cringe(E) before you.
All the earth bows down(F) to you;
    they sing praise(G) to you,
    they sing the praises of your name.”[a]

Come and see what God has done,
    his awesome deeds(H) for mankind!
He turned the sea into dry land,(I)
    they passed through(J) the waters on foot—
    come, let us rejoice(K) in him.
He rules forever(L) by his power,
    his eyes watch(M) the nations—
    let not the rebellious(N) rise up against him.

Praise(O) our God, all peoples,
    let the sound of his praise be heard;
he has preserved our lives(P)
    and kept our feet from slipping.(Q)
10 For you, God, tested(R) us;
    you refined us like silver.(S)
11 You brought us into prison(T)
    and laid burdens(U) on our backs.
12 You let people ride over our heads;(V)
    we went through fire and water,
    but you brought us to a place of abundance.(W)

13 I will come to your temple with burnt offerings(X)
    and fulfill my vows(Y) to you—
14 vows my lips promised and my mouth spoke
    when I was in trouble.
15 I will sacrifice fat animals to you
    and an offering of rams;
    I will offer bulls and goats.(Z)

16 Come and hear,(AA) all you who fear God;
    let me tell(AB) you what he has done for me.
17 I cried out to him with my mouth;
    his praise was on my tongue.
18 If I had cherished sin in my heart,
    the Lord would not have listened;(AC)
19 but God has surely listened
    and has heard(AD) my prayer.
20 Praise be to God,
    who has not rejected(AE) my prayer
    or withheld his love from me!

Psalm 67[b]

For the director of music. With stringed instruments. A psalm. A song.

May God be gracious to us and bless us
    and make his face shine on us—[c](AF)
so that your ways may be known on earth,
    your salvation(AG) among all nations.(AH)

May the peoples praise you, God;
    may all the peoples praise you.(AI)
May the nations be glad and sing for joy,(AJ)
    for you rule the peoples with equity(AK)
    and guide the nations of the earth.(AL)
May the peoples praise you, God;
    may all the peoples praise you.

The land yields its harvest;(AM)
    God, our God, blesses us.(AN)
May God bless us still,
    so that all the ends of the earth(AO) will fear him.(AP)

¶ Frè m' yo, mwen sèten nou konnen sa m' pral di nou la a deja, paske nou konn lalwa a: Se toutotan yon moun ap viv lalwa gen pouvwa sou li.

M'ap pran yon egzanp: yon madan marye gen angajman avèk mari l' devan lalwa toutotan mari a vivan. Men, si mari a mouri, madanm lan lib devan lalwa annegad mari a.

Si pandan mari a vivan toujou, madanm lan vin fanm yon lòt gason, y'ap rele madanm lan adiltè. Men, si mari a mouri, li lib devan lalwa. Lè sa a, si l' vin fanm yon lòt gason, li pa yon adiltè.

Se menm jan an tou pou nou menm, frè m' yo. Nou mouri ansanm ak kò Kris la annegad lalwa. Konsa, nou lib pase nan men yon lòt mèt. Koulye a, se nan men moun ki te leve soti vivan nan lanmò a nou ye pou nou ka viv yon jan ki itil pou Bondye.

Lè n' t'ap viv anba pouvwa lachè, tout vye dezi lalwa te fè leve nan kè nou yo t'ap travay nan tout kò nou, yo te fè nou fè bagay ki t'ap mennen nou nan lanmò.

Koulye a, nou pa gen angajman ak lalwa ankò. Nou mouri annegad lalwa ki te kenbe nou prizonye a. Se sak fè nou ka sèvi Bondye yon lòt jan, anba otorite Sentespri a. Nou p'ap sèvi l' ankò jan n' te konn sèvi l' nan tan lontan an, anba otorite lalwa ki ekri nan Liv la.

¶ Nan kondisyon sa a, kisa n'a di? Eske lalwa se peche? Non, wete sa nan tèt ou. Men, se lalwa a ki fè m' konnen sa peche ye. Se konsa mwen pa ta janm konnen kisa ki rele gen lanvi, si lalwa pa t' di m': Piga ou janm pote lanvi sou sak pa pou nou.

Peche a pwofite okazyon kòmandman an pou l' fè m' gen tout kalite lanvi nan kè mwen. San lalwa a, peche mouri.

Pou mwen menm, nan tan lontan, lè m' te san lalwa, mwen te vivan. Men, lè kòmandman an vin rive, peche a vin vivan ankò.

10 Epi mwen menm, mwen mouri. Se konsa kòmandman ki te pou ban m' lavi a, se li menm ki ban m' lanmò.

11 Peche a pwofite okazyon an, li twonpe m' ak kòmandman an. Se konsa, li fè mwen mouri ak tout kòmandman an.

12 Men, lalwa a se yon bagay ki soti nan Bondye. Kòmandman an tou, se Bondye ki bay li, se konsa li dwat epi li bon.

13 Eske nou ka di sa ki bon an tounen yon kòz lanmò pou nou? Non, monchè! Men, se peche ki lakòz sa. Peche fè nou wè sa li menm li ye vre: li sèvi ak sa ki bon an pou l' fè mwen mouri. Se konsa, avèk kòmandman an, peche a kanpe pi rèd toujou.

14 ¶ Nou konnen lalwa li menm, se yon bagay ki soti nan Lespri Bondye. Men, mwen menm, mwen se yon kò ki tou fèb, peche fin anpare m', li fè m' tounen esklav li.

15 Lè m' fè yon bagay, mwen pa konprann sa m' fè a. Paske, sa m' ta vle fè a, se pa sa m' fè. Epi sa m' pa vle fè a, se li mwen fè.

16 Si sa m' pa t' vle fè a se li mwen fè, sa vle di mwen dakò lalwa a bon.

17 Nan kondisyon sa a, se pa mwen ki fè sa ki fèt la, men se peche ki nan mwen an ki fè li.

18 Sa se bagay mwen konnen: Nanpwen anyen ki bon nan mwen, nan tout kò mwen. Mwen di sa, paske menm lè mwen vle fè sa ki byen, mwen pa santi m' kapab fè li.

19 Mwen pa fè byen mwen vle fè a, men mwen fè mal mwen pa vle fè a.

20 Epi, si m' fè mal mwen pa vle fè a, se pa mwen ki fè l', men se peche ki nan mwen an ki fè li.

21 Pou mwen menm, mwen jwenn lwa sa a nan mwen: lè m' vle fè sa ki byen, se sa ki mal ase mwen santi m' ka fè.

22 Nan fon kè m', mwen jwenn tout plezi m' nan lalwa Bondye a.

23 Men, nan tout kò m', mwen santi yon lòt lwa k'ap goumen ak lalwa mwen renmen an. Lwa sa a kenbe m' prizonye anba otorite peche a ki nan tout kò mwen.

24 Ala malere mwen malere, mezanmi! Kilès ki va delivre m' anba kò sa a k'ap trennen m' nan lanmò?

25 Gremesi Jezikri, Seyè nou an, mwen ka di: Mèsi Bondye! Konsa, men ki jan mwen ye: dapre konesans pa mwen, mwen se esklav lalwa Bondye a. Men, dapre sa m' santi nan tout kò mwen, mwen se esklav lalwa peche a.

Released From the Law, Bound to Christ

Do you not know, brothers and sisters(A)—for I am speaking to those who know the law—that the law has authority over someone only as long as that person lives? For example, by law a married woman is bound to her husband as long as he is alive, but if her husband dies, she is released from the law that binds her to him.(B) So then, if she has sexual relations with another man while her husband is still alive, she is called an adulteress.(C) But if her husband dies, she is released from that law and is not an adulteress if she marries another man.

So, my brothers and sisters, you also died to the law(D) through the body of Christ,(E) that you might belong to another,(F) to him who was raised from the dead, in order that we might bear fruit for God. For when we were in the realm of the flesh,[a](G) the sinful passions aroused by the law(H) were at work in us,(I) so that we bore fruit for death.(J) But now, by dying to what once bound us, we have been released from the law(K) so that we serve in the new way of the Spirit, and not in the old way of the written code.(L)

The Law and Sin

What shall we say, then?(M) Is the law sinful? Certainly not!(N) Nevertheless, I would not have known what sin was had it not been for the law.(O) For I would not have known what coveting really was if the law had not said, “You shall not covet.”[b](P) But sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment,(Q) produced in me every kind of coveting. For apart from the law, sin was dead.(R) Once I was alive apart from the law; but when the commandment came, sin sprang to life and I died. 10 I found that the very commandment that was intended to bring life(S) actually brought death. 11 For sin, seizing the opportunity afforded by the commandment,(T) deceived me,(U) and through the commandment put me to death. 12 So then, the law is holy, and the commandment is holy, righteous and good.(V)

13 Did that which is good, then, become death to me? By no means! Nevertheless, in order that sin might be recognized as sin, it used what is good(W) to bring about my death,(X) so that through the commandment sin might become utterly sinful.

14 We know that the law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual,(Y) sold(Z) as a slave to sin.(AA) 15 I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do.(AB) 16 And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good.(AC) 17 As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me.(AD) 18 For I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature.[c](AE) For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. 19 For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing.(AF) 20 Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.(AG)

21 So I find this law at work:(AH) Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. 22 For in my inner being(AI) I delight in God’s law;(AJ) 23 but I see another law at work in me, waging war(AK) against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin(AL) at work within me. 24 What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death?(AM) 25 Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord!(AN)

So then, I myself in my mind am a slave to God’s law,(AO) but in my sinful nature[d] a slave to the law of sin.(AP)
