Chante Salomon 6-8
Haitian Creole Version
6 ¶ Ou menm ki pi bèl fanm pase tout fanm, kote mennaj ou ale? Ki wout ou wè li pran? Nou pral ede ou chache l'.
2 Mennaj mwen al nan jaden l', kote pyebwa santi bon ap pouse. li al bay mouton l' yo manje. li al ranmase bèl ti flè.
3 Mennaj mwen pou mwen, mwen pou mennaj mwen. li ap fè mouton l' yo manje nan mitan bèl ti flè yo.
4 ¶ Anmòrèz mwen, ou bèl tankou lavil Tisa. Lè m' wè ou sa fè m' plezi tankou lè m' wè lavil Jerizalèm. Kote ou pase tout moun pèdi nan ou!
5 Sispann gade m', paske lè ou gade m', ou fè m' pa konn sa m'ap fè. Cheve ou ap danse bò figi ou tankou kabrit k'ap kouri desann sou mòn Galarad yo.
6 Dan ou yo blan tankou mouton yo fèk sot benyen. Ou pa manke yonn ladan yo. Tout dan anwo yo mache ak dan anba yo.
7 De bò figi ou yo ou ta di de bò grenad anba vwal ou a.
8 Wa a gen swasant renn, katreven fanm kay. Pou jenn fi menm, se pa pale.
9 Men, pa gen tankou jenn ti pijon mwen an. Li menm ase mwen renmen. Se sèl pitit fi manman l' fè. Se pitit sa a li pi renmen. Lè jenn fi yo wè l', yo di: Gade sa Bondye fè pou ou! Renn yo ak fanm kay yo menm ap fè lwanj li.
10 Kilès sa a k'ap parèt tankou solèy ki fèk leve? Li bèl tankou lalin, li klere tankou solèy. Kote ou pase tout moun pèdi nan ou!
11 ¶ Mwen desann nan jaden zanmann yo pou m' te wè jenn ti plant yo nan fon an, pou m' wè si pye rezen yo ap boujonnen, si pye grenad yo ap fleri.
12 Apre sa, m' pa konn sa ki pase m'. M' santi m' tankou yon sòlda sou cha lagè ki anvi al goumen.
13 Tounen non, fanm lavil Choulam! Tounen! Tounen non pou n' ka gade ou! Poukisa nou vle gade fanm lavil Choulam lan k'ap danse nan mitan de ran moun?
7 ¶ Ala bèl pye ou bèl nan sapat ou yo, nègès mwen! Ren ou tankou si li te dekore ak bon lò. Ou ta di travay yon bòs ki gen anpil ladrès ak gou!
2 Lonbrit ou tankou yon bòl won ki pa janm manke diven melanje ak fèy santi bon. Anba vant ou menm tankou yon bèl jaden ble ak bèl ti flè sou tout arebò li.
3 Tete ou yo doubout tankou de ti gazèl, de ti gazèl menm fòs, menm pòte.
4 Kou ou tankou yon fò won fèt an ivwa. Je ou yo tankou basen dlo nan lavil Esbon, bò pòtay gwo lavil la. Nen ou tankou gwo fò peyi Liban an k'ap veye sou lavil Damas.
5 Ou kenbe tèt ou dwèt sou kò ou, tankou mòn Kamèl. Cheve ou yo ap flote tankou bèl twal swa wouj grena. Nenpòt wa ta ka pèdi nan bouklèt cheve ou yo!
6 Ala bèl ou bèl, mennaj mwen! Ala dous ou dous, bèl nègès mwen!
7 Lè ou kanpe, ou ta di yon bèl pye palmis. De tete ou yo ou ta di de ti grap palmis.
8 Mwen fè lide moute sou pye palmis la pou m' keyi grap yo. Pou mwen, tete ou yo tankou de grap rezen. Bouch ou gen sant ponm kajou!
9 Anndan bouch ou, gen gou yon bon diven. Kite diven an koule pou mennaj mwen, Kite l' koule nan bouch nou antan n'ap dòmi.
10 ¶ Se pou mennaj mwen mwen ye! Se mwen menm li anvi.
11 Vini non, mennaj mwen! Ann al andeyò. N'a pase nwit lan nan jaden yo.
12 Nan maten, n'apral gade pye rezen yo pou wè si yo konmanse boujonnen, si flè yo ap louvri, si pye grenad yo ap fleri. Se la n'a karese nèt ale.
13 Ou ka pran sant mandragò yo. Devan papòt nou an gen tout kalite bon fwi, fwi ki fèk keyi ak fwi ki byen mi. Mennaj mwen, se mwen ki te sere yo pou ou.
8 ¶ Poukisa se pa t' frè m' ou te ye, frè ki tete menm manman avè m'? Lè m' ta kontre avè ou nan lari, m' ta gen dwa bo ou, pesonn pa ta wè mal nan sa.
2 Mwen ta mennen ou lakay manman m', mwen ta fè ou antre. Ou ta moutre m' sa pou m' fè. M' ta ba ou diven melanje ak fèy santi bon ak ji grenad mwen yo pou ou bwè.
3 Li pase men gòch li anba tèt mwen, l'ap karese m' ak men dwat li.
4 Nou menm medam lavil Jerizalèm, tanpri, tanpri souple! Pa deranje anmòrèz mwen lè l'ap dòmi. Pa leve l' san l' pa vle.
5 ¶ Kilès sa a k'ap vin sot nan dezè a? Kilès sa a ki apiye sou bra mennaj li konsa? Anba pye ponm lan, mwen leve ou nan dòmi. Se la ou te fèt. Se la manman ou te fè ou wè solèy.
6 Pa renmen lòt moun pase mwen ase! Kenbe m' fò nan bra ou! renmen tankou lanmò. Lè ou renmen yon moun tout bon, se mouri w'ap mouri pou li. renmen met dife nan tout kò ou. Dife sa a se nan Bondye li soti.
7 Pa gen dlo ki ka touye l'. Pa gen larivyè ki ka tenyen l'. Yon moun te mèt ofri tout richès lakay li pou l' ta achte renmen, pesonn pa ta okipe l'.
8 ¶ Nou gen yon ti sè, li poko menm pouse tete. Kisa pou nou fè pou li si yon jenn gason vin ap file l'?
9 Si se yon miray li ye, n'a bati yon gwo fò won an ajan sou li. Si se yon pòt li ye, n'a fèmen l' ak batan sèd, n'a kouvri l' ak panno bwa sèd.
10 Se yon miray ranpa mwen ye. Tete m' tankou de fò. Se poutèt sa, nan je mennaj mwen, m' se yon fanm ki jwenn bonè m'.
11 Salomon te gen yon jaden rezen yon kote yo rele Baal-Amon. Li bay kèk moun okipe l' pou li. Lè rekòt, yo chak pou te ba li mil (1.000) pyès ajan.
12 Mwen gen jaden rezen pa m' m'ap okipe. Salomon, ou mèt kenbe mil (1.000) pyès ajan pa ou yo ak desan (200) pyès ajan pou moun k'ap veye rekòt la.
13 ¶ Zanmi kanmarad ap pare zòrèy pou tande ou. Fè m' tande vwa ou non, ou menm ki rete nan jaden yo!
14 Kouri non, mennaj mwen! Kouri tankou yon kabrit, tankou yon jenn ti kabrit sou mòn ki gen bon sant yo!

Friends
6 Where has your beloved(A) gone,
most beautiful of women?(B)
Which way did your beloved turn,
that we may look for him with you?
She
2 My beloved has gone(C) down to his garden,(D)
to the beds of spices,(E)
to browse in the gardens
and to gather lilies.
3 I am my beloved’s and my beloved is mine;(F)
he browses among the lilies.(G)
He
4 You are as beautiful as Tirzah,(H) my darling,
as lovely as Jerusalem,(I)
as majestic as troops with banners.(J)
5 Turn your eyes from me;
they overwhelm me.
Your hair is like a flock of goats
descending from Gilead.(K)
6 Your teeth are like a flock of sheep
coming up from the washing.
Each has its twin,
not one of them is missing.(L)
7 Your temples behind your veil(M)
are like the halves of a pomegranate.(N)
8 Sixty queens(O) there may be,
and eighty concubines,(P)
and virgins beyond number;
9 but my dove,(Q) my perfect one,(R) is unique,
the only daughter of her mother,
the favorite of the one who bore her.(S)
The young women saw her and called her blessed;
the queens and concubines praised her.
Friends
10 Who is this that appears like the dawn,
fair as the moon, bright as the sun,
majestic as the stars in procession?
He
11 I went down to the grove of nut trees
to look at the new growth in the valley,
to see if the vines had budded
or the pomegranates were in bloom.(T)
12 Before I realized it,
my desire set me among the royal chariots of my people.[a]
Friends
13 Come back, come back, O Shulammite;
come back, come back, that we may gaze on you!
He
7 [c]How beautiful your sandaled feet,
O prince’s(V) daughter!
Your graceful legs are like jewels,
the work of an artist’s hands.
2 Your navel is a rounded goblet
that never lacks blended wine.
Your waist is a mound of wheat
encircled by lilies.
3 Your breasts(W) are like two fawns,
like twin fawns of a gazelle.
4 Your neck is like an ivory tower.(X)
Your eyes are the pools of Heshbon(Y)
by the gate of Bath Rabbim.
Your nose is like the tower of Lebanon(Z)
looking toward Damascus.
5 Your head crowns you like Mount Carmel.(AA)
Your hair is like royal tapestry;
the king is held captive by its tresses.
6 How beautiful(AB) you are and how pleasing,
my love, with your delights!(AC)
7 Your stature is like that of the palm,
and your breasts(AD) like clusters of fruit.
8 I said, “I will climb the palm tree;
I will take hold of its fruit.”
May your breasts be like clusters of grapes on the vine,
the fragrance of your breath like apples,(AE)
9 and your mouth like the best wine.
She
May the wine go straight to my beloved,(AF)
flowing gently over lips and teeth.[d]
10 I belong to my beloved,
and his desire(AG) is for me.(AH)
11 Come, my beloved, let us go to the countryside,
let us spend the night in the villages.[e]
12 Let us go early to the vineyards(AI)
to see if the vines have budded,(AJ)
if their blossoms(AK) have opened,
and if the pomegranates(AL) are in bloom(AM)—
there I will give you my love.
13 The mandrakes(AN) send out their fragrance,
and at our door is every delicacy,
both new and old,
that I have stored up for you, my beloved.(AO)
8 If only you were to me like a brother,
who was nursed at my mother’s breasts!
Then, if I found you outside,
I would kiss you,
and no one would despise me.
2 I would lead you
and bring you to my mother’s house(AP)—
she who has taught me.
I would give you spiced wine to drink,
the nectar of my pomegranates.
3 His left arm is under my head
and his right arm embraces me.(AQ)
4 Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you:
Do not arouse or awaken love
until it so desires.(AR)
Friends
5 Who is this coming up from the wilderness(AS)
leaning on her beloved?
She
Under the apple tree I roused you;
there your mother conceived(AT) you,
there she who was in labor gave you birth.
6 Place me like a seal over your heart,
like a seal on your arm;
for love(AU) is as strong as death,
its jealousy[f](AV) unyielding as the grave.
It burns like blazing fire,
like a mighty flame.[g]
7 Many waters cannot quench love;
rivers cannot sweep it away.
If one were to give
all the wealth of one’s house for love,
it[h] would be utterly scorned.(AW)
Friends
8 We have a little sister,
and her breasts are not yet grown.
What shall we do for our sister
on the day she is spoken for?
9 If she is a wall,
we will build towers of silver on her.
If she is a door,
we will enclose her with panels of cedar.
She
10 I am a wall,
and my breasts are like towers.
Thus I have become in his eyes
like one bringing contentment.
11 Solomon had a vineyard(AX) in Baal Hamon;
he let out his vineyard to tenants.
Each was to bring for its fruit
a thousand shekels[i](AY) of silver.
12 But my own vineyard(AZ) is mine to give;
the thousand shekels are for you, Solomon,
and two hundred[j] are for those who tend its fruit.
He
13 You who dwell in the gardens
with friends in attendance,
let me hear your voice!
She

Galasi 4

Galasi 4
Haitian Creole Version
4 ¶ Enben! Men sa m' vle di: Pitit ki pou resevwa byen papa li a, toutotan li piti toujou, y'ap trete l' menm jan yo trete yon esklav, atout se li menm ki mèt tout bagay.
2 Toutotan li timoun toujou, li sou lòd moun k'ap okipe l' la, moun k'ap regle zafè l' pou li a, jouk lè papa a te fikse a rive.
3 Nou menm tou, toutotan nou te tankou timoun, nou te esklav tout lide ki t'ap mennen lèzòm nan lemonn.
4 Men, lè lè a rive, Bondye te voye pwòp pitit li. Li soti nan vant yon fanm, li viv anba lalwa jwif yo,
5 pou l' te ka delivre tout moun ki te anba lalwa pou n' te kapab vin pitit Bondye.
6 Pou fè nou wè nou se pitit li tout bon, Bondye te voye Lespri Pitit li a k'ap rele: Papa, nan kè nou.
7 Konsa, ou pa esklav ankò, ou se yon pitit. Si ou se yon pitit Bondye, Bondye va ba ou tout byen li sere pou pitit li yo.
8 ¶ Nan tan lontan, nou pa t' konnen Bondye, nou te esklav yon bann bondye ki pa t' Bondye.
9 Men, koulye a nou rive konn Bondye, ou pito koulye a Bondye konnen nou, kouman nou fè vle tounen al jwenn ti lespri sa yo ki tou fèb, tou mizerab? Ki jan pou nou vle tounen esklav yo ankò?
10 Ki jan fè gen jou, gen mwa, gen sezon, gen lanne ki gen pi konsekan pou nou pase lòt?
11 Mwen pè pou nou anpil. Gen lè mwen te travay mal nan mitan nou? Se sa m'ap mande mwen.
12 ¶ Frè m' yo, tanpri souple. Se pou nou vin tankou m', menm jan mwen menm tou mwen te vini tankou nou. Nou pa janm fè m' okenn tò.
13 Nou chonje kisa ki te fè m' anonse nou bon nouvèl la pou premye fwa a? Se paske m' te malad.
14 Lè sa a, malgre maladi m' lan ta ka yon eprèv pou nou, nou pa t' meprize m', ni nou pa t' repouse mwen. Okontrè, nou te resevwa m' tankou si m' te yon zanj Bondye, tankou si se Jezikri menm m' te ye.
15 Lè sa a, nou pa t' manke kontan! Kisa ki rive nou konsa? Mwen ka di sa pou nou: si nou te gen pou n' te rache je nou ban mwen, nou ta fè li.
16 Men koulye a, èske mwen tounen yon lènmi pou nou paske m'ap di nou laverite?
17 ¶ Lòt moun sa yo enterese anpil nan nou, men lide yo gen dèyè tèt yo pa bon menm. Yo ta vle separe nou avè m' pou nou ka enterese nan yo ase.
18 Sa bon pou nou enterese nan lòt moun tou, men fòk nou pa gen move lide nan tèt nou. Wi, se pou nou toujou enterese nan lòt moun, menm lè mwen pa nan mitan nou.
19 ¶ Pitit mwen yo, m'ap soufri anpil pou nou toujou, tankou yon manman k'ap soufri doulè tranche, m'ap soufri pou nou jouk tan Kris la va fin fòme nèt nan nou.
20 Jan m' ta renmen bò kote nou koulye a pou m' ta ka pale yon lòt jan avèk nou! Se pa ti kras pè mwen pè pou nou!
21 ¶ Manyè di m', nou menm ki vle rete anba lalwa a: gen lè nou pa konprann sa lalwa a di?
22 Li di nou konsa: Abraram te gen de pitit gason, yonn avèk fanm ki te esklav la, yon lòt avèk fanm ki pa t' esklav la.
23 Pitit fanm ki te esklav la te fèt dapre egzijans lachè, men pitit fanm ki pa t' esklav la te fèt dapre pwomès Bondye.
24 Nou ka pran istwa sa a pou yon parabòl: de fanm sa yo se de kontra. Aga se kontra ki te fèt sou Mòn Sinayi a. Tout pitit li yo se esklav yo ye.
25 Aga se Mòn Sinayi nan peyi Arabi. Li koresponn ak lavil Jerizalèm ki la koulye a nan esklavaj ak tout pitit li yo.
26 Men, Jerizalèm ki nan syèl la, li lib. Se li menm ki manman nou.
27 Men sa ki ekri nan Liv la: Fè kè ou kontan, ou menm fanm ki pa t' ka fè pitit! Rele! Fè tout moun konnen jan ou kontan, ou menm ki pa t' janm konnen doulè tranche! Paske, fanm gason pa t' okipe a ap gen plis pitit pase fanm ki gen mari.
28 Koulye a, frè m' yo, nou tankou Izarak: nou se pitit Bondye jan l' te pwomèt la.
29 Nan tan Abraram, pitit ki te fèt dapre egzijans lachè a t'ap pèsekite pitit ki te fèt dapre Lespri Bondye a. Se konsa sa ye koulye a tou.
30 Men, kisa ki ekri nan Liv la? Liv la di: Mete esklav la deyò ansanm ak tout pitit li a. Paske pitit esklav la pa gen dwa eritye nan byen papa a ansanm avèk pitit fanm ki pa t' esklav la.
31 Konsa, frè m' yo, nou pa pitit esklav la, nou se pitit fanm ki pa t' esklav la.
Galatians 4
New International Version
Galatians 4
New International Version
4 What I am saying is that as long as an heir is underage, he is no different from a slave, although he owns the whole estate. 2 The heir is subject to guardians and trustees until the time set by his father. 3 So also, when we were underage, we were in slavery(A) under the elemental spiritual forces[a] of the world.(B) 4 But when the set time had fully come,(C) God sent his Son,(D) born of a woman,(E) born under the law,(F) 5 to redeem(G) those under the law, that we might receive adoption(H) to sonship.[b](I) 6 Because you are his sons, God sent the Spirit of his Son(J) into our hearts,(K) the Spirit who calls out, “Abba,[c] Father.”(L) 7 So you are no longer a slave, but God’s child; and since you are his child, God has made you also an heir.(M)
Paul’s Concern for the Galatians
8 Formerly, when you did not know God,(N) you were slaves(O) to those who by nature are not gods.(P) 9 But now that you know God—or rather are known by God(Q)—how is it that you are turning back to those weak and miserable forces[d]? Do you wish to be enslaved(R) by them all over again?(S) 10 You are observing special days and months and seasons and years!(T) 11 I fear for you, that somehow I have wasted my efforts on you.(U)
12 I plead with you, brothers and sisters,(V) become like me, for I became like you. You did me no wrong. 13 As you know, it was because of an illness(W) that I first preached the gospel to you, 14 and even though my illness was a trial to you, you did not treat me with contempt or scorn. Instead, you welcomed me as if I were an angel of God, as if I were Christ Jesus himself.(X) 15 Where, then, is your blessing of me now? I can testify that, if you could have done so, you would have torn out your eyes and given them to me. 16 Have I now become your enemy by telling you the truth?(Y)
17 Those people are zealous to win you over, but for no good. What they want is to alienate you from us, so that you may have zeal for them.(Z) 18 It is fine to be zealous, provided the purpose is good, and to be so always, not just when I am with you.(AA) 19 My dear children,(AB) for whom I am again in the pains of childbirth until Christ is formed in you,(AC) 20 how I wish I could be with you now and change my tone, because I am perplexed about you!
Hagar and Sarah
21 Tell me, you who want to be under the law,(AD) are you not aware of what the law says? 22 For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the slave woman(AE) and the other by the free woman.(AF) 23 His son by the slave woman was born according to the flesh,(AG) but his son by the free woman was born as the result of a divine promise.(AH)
24 These things are being taken figuratively: The women represent two covenants. One covenant is from Mount Sinai and bears children who are to be slaves: This is Hagar. 25 Now Hagar stands for Mount Sinai in Arabia and corresponds to the present city of Jerusalem, because she is in slavery with her children. 26 But the Jerusalem that is above(AI) is free, and she is our mother. 27 For it is written:
“Be glad, barren woman,
you who never bore a child;
shout for joy and cry aloud,
you who were never in labor;
because more are the children of the desolate woman
than of her who has a husband.”[e](AJ)
28 Now you, brothers and sisters, like Isaac, are children of promise.(AK) 29 At that time the son born according to the flesh(AL) persecuted the son born by the power of the Spirit.(AM) It is the same now. 30 But what does Scripture say? “Get rid of the slave woman and her son, for the slave woman’s son will never share in the inheritance with the free woman’s son.”[f](AN) 31 Therefore, brothers and sisters, we are not children of the slave woman,(AO) but of the free woman.(AP)
