Psalms 141
1 Jehovah, I have called upon thee. Make haste to me. Give ear to my voice when I call to thee.
Yon Sòm David O SENYÈ, mwen rele non Ou. Fè vit! Vin kote m! Prete zòrèy Ou a vwa mwen lè m rele Ou!
2 Let my prayer be set forth as incense before thee, the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.
Ke lapriyè mwen kapab konte kon lansan devan Ou; lè m leve men m, kon sakrifis ofrann aswè a.
3 Set a watch, O Jehovah, before my mouth. Keep the door of my lips.
Plase yon gadyen sou bouch mwen, O SENYÈ. Veye dri sou pòt lèv mwen yo.
4 Incline not my heart to any evil thing, to practice deeds of wickedness with men who work iniquity. And let me not eat of their dainties.
Pa mennen kè m vè okenn mal, pou pratike zèv mechan yo, avèk moun ki fè inikite yo. Ni pa kite mwen manje manje ki fèt pa yo.
5 Let a righteous man smite me, as a kindness. And let him reprove me, as oil upon the head. Let not my head refuse it. For even in their wickedness my prayer shall continue.
Kite moun ladwati yo frape mwen. Konsa, li dous. Kite li korije mwen. L ap tankou lwil ki koule sou tèt la. Pa kite tèt mwen refize li, paske lapriyè mwen toujou kont zak mechan yo.
6 Their judges are thrown down by the sides of the rock. And they shall hear my words, for they are sweet.
Jij pa yo fin jete a tè bò kote wòch yo. Yo va tande pawòl mwen yo, paske yo byen pale.
7 Like plowing and furrowing the earth, our bones are scattered at the mouth of Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
Tankou lè yon moun laboure pou fann tè a, se konsa zo nou yo fin gaye nan bouch sejou mò a. (Sheol h7585)
8 For my eyes are to thee, O Jehovah the Lord. In thee do I take refuge. Leave not my soul destitute.
Paske zye mwen se sou Ou, O BONDYE, Senyè a. Nan Ou, mwen kache. Pa kite nanm mwen san pwotèj.
9 Keep me from the snare which they have laid for me, and from the traps of the workers of iniquity.
Sove m de dan pyèj ke yo te prepare pou mwen yo, avèk pèlen a (sila) ki fè inikite yo.
10 Let the wicked fall into their own nets, while I pass over.
Kite mechan yo tonbe nan pwòp filè yo, pandan mwen pase akote.
