Psalms 71
1 In thee, O Jehovah, do I take refuge. Let me never be put to shame.
Nan Ou, O SENYÈ, mwen te pran refij. Pa janm kite mwen vin wont.
2 Deliver me in thy righteousness, and rescue me. Bow down thine ear to me, and save me.
Nan ladwati Ou, delivre mwen e fè m sekou. Panche zòrèy Ou bò kote m e sove mwen.
3 Be thou to me a rock of habitation to which I may continually resort. Thou have given commandment to save me, for thou are my rock and my fortress.
Devni pou mwen wòch abitasyon mwen an, kote mwen kab vini tout tan. Ou te pase lòd pou sove mwen, paske Ou se wòch mwen ak sitadèl mwen.
4 Rescue me, O my God, out of the hand of a wicked man, out of the hand of an unrighteous and cruel man.
Delivre mwen, O Bondye mwen, nan men a mechan yo, Fè m sòti nan ponyèt a malfektè a ak san pitye a,
5 For thou are my hope, O lord Jehovah, my trust from my youth.
Paske Ou se espwa m, O SENYÈ Bondye, Ou se konfyans mwen soti nan jenès mwen.
6 By thee I have been held up from the womb. Thou are he who took me out of my mother's bowels. My praise shall be continually of thee.
Pa Ou menm, mwen te twouve soutyen depi lè m te fèt. Se Ou menm ki te retire mwen nan vant manman m. Tout tan se Ou menm ke m louwe.
7 I am as a wonder to many, but thou are my strong refuge.
Mwen parèt kon yon mèvèy pou anpil moun, men se Ou ki fò refij mwen.
8 My mouth shall be filled with thy praise, and with thy honor all the day.
Bouch mwen plen avèk lwanj Ou ak glwa Ou tout lajounen.
9 Cast me not off in the time of old age. Forsake me not when my strength fails.
Pa jete mwen akote nan tan vyeyès mwen. Pa abandone mwen lè fòs mwen vin febli.
10 For my enemies speak concerning me, and those who watch for my soul take counsel together,
Paske Lènmi m yo te pale kont mwen. (Sila) k ap veye pou pran lavi m yo ap pran konsèy ansanm,
11 saying, God has forsaken him. Pursue and take him, for there is none to deliver.
Y ap di: “Bondye fin abandone li. Annou kouri dèyè l, e sezi li. Paske nanpwen moun ki pou delivre l.”
12 O God, be not far from me. O my God, make haste to help me.
O Bondye, pa rete lwen mwen. O Bondye m, fè vit a sekou mwen!
13 Let them be put to shame and consumed who are adversaries to my soul. Let them be covered with reproach and dishonor who seek my hurt.
Kite (sila) ki advèsè a nanm mwen yo vin wont e manje nèt. Kite yo kouvri avèk repwòch ak dezonè k ap chache blese mwen.
14 But I will hope continually, and will praise thee yet more and more.
Men pou mwen, mwen va kenbe espwa m pou tout tan. Mwen va bay Ou lwanj plis toujou.
15 My mouth shall tell of thy righteousness, of thy salvation all the day, for I know not the numbers.
Bouch mwen va pale ladwati Ou, ak sali Ou tout lajounen, menmsi mwen pa kab fin konnen fòs valè tout jou sa yo.
16 I will come with the mighty acts of the lord Jehovah. I will make mention of thy righteousness, even of thine only.
Mwen va vini ak zèv pwisan SENYÈ Bondye a. Mwen va pale ladwati Ou, sèl de Ou menm.
17 O God, thou have taught me from my youth, and I have declared thy wondrous works until now.
O Bondye, Ou te enstwi mwen depi jenès mwen. Jiska prezan, mwen toujou deklare mèvèy Ou yo.
18 Yea, even when I am old and gray headed, O God, forsake me not, until I have declared thy strength to a generation, thy might to everyone who is to come.
Wi, menm lè m vye ak cheve blanch, O Bondye, pa abandone m, jiskaske mwen fin deklare fòs Ou a jenerasyon (sila) a, ak pwisans Ou a tout (sila) k ap vini yo.
19 Thy righteousness also, O God, is very high, thou who have done great things. O God, who is like thee?
Paske ladwati Ou, O Bondye, rive jis nan syèl yo. Ou menm ki te fè gwo bagay yo. O Bondye, se kilès ki tankou Ou menm?
20 Thou, who have shown us many and great troubles, will revive us again, and will bring us up again from the depths of the earth.
Ou menm ki te fè m wè anpil twoub ak gwo pwoblèm, va fè m viv. Ou va mennen mwen monte soti nan fon tè yo.
21 Increase thou my greatness, and turn again and comfort me.
Ke Ou fè lonè mwen vin plis e vire ban m konsolasyon ankò.
22 I will also praise thee with the psaltery, even thy truth, O my God. To thee I will sing praises with the harp, O thou Holy One of Israel.
Konsa, mwen va louwe Ou avèk ap la pou fidelite Ou, O Bondye mwen. A Ou menm, mwen va chante lwanj avèk gita, O (Sila) Ki Sen an Israël la.
23 My lips shall shout for joy when I sing praises to thee, and my soul, which thou have redeemed.
Lèv mwen va rele ak jwa lè mwen chante lwanj a Ou menm pou nanm mwen ke Ou te rachte a.
24 My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day long. For they are put to shame, for they are confounded, who seek my hurt.
Lang mwen, anplis, va pale ladwati Ou tout lajounen. Paske yo wont, yo imilye, (Sila) ki te chache fè m mal yo.
