God bless in creole

May God bless you. (God bless)
Ke Bondye beni w.

Go in peace.
Ale an pè.
or
Ale ak lapè.

May the wisdom of the Lord be with you.
Se pou sajès Bondye avè w.

May the light of God shine upon you.
Se pou limyè Bondye klere w.

May the joy of the Lord abide in your heart.
Se pou lajwa Bondye ret nan kè nou.

Peace be with you!
Lapè avè w!
or
Ke lapè Bondye avè w!

Receive grace, mercy, joy, and peace in the name of Jesus our Lord.
Resevwa lagras, padon, lajwa, ak lapè nan non Jezi Bondye nou an.

  1. I was wondering if a saying like "I am a child of the Great I AM" would translate over or make no sense? I was thinking "m' ye yon timoun nan gwo m' ye"

    1. Unfortunately, it wouldn't translate well.
      Try:

      Mwen se pitit Granmèt la. (I am a child of the Great Master)
      Mwen se pitit Bondye Vivan an. (I am a child of the Giving God)
