Psalms 27
1 By David. The LORD is my light and my salvation. Whom shall I fear? The LORD is the strength of my life. Of whom shall I be afraid?
Se yon sòm David. Seyè a se limyè mwen, se li ki delivrans mwen. Ki moun ki ka fè m' pè? Se Seyè a k'ap pwoteje mwen. Ki moun ki ka fè m' tranble?
2 When evildoers came at me to eat up my flesh, even my adversaries and my foes, they stumbled and fell.
Lè mechan yo ap mache sou mwen, lè lènmi m' yo ap chache touye m', se yo menm k'ap bite, se yo menm k'ap tonbe.
3 Though an army should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear. Though war should rise against me, even then I will be confident.
Menm si tout yon lame ta sènen m' toupatou, mwen p'ap pè anyen. Menm si yo ta vle fè m' lagè, m'ap toujou gen konfyans nan Bondye.
4 One thing I have asked of the LORD, that I will seek after: that I may dwell in the LORD’s house all the days of my life, to see the LORD’s beauty, and to inquire in his temple.
Mwen mande Seyè a yon bagay, yon bagay mwen anvi anpil anpil: Se pou m' ta pase tout lavi m' nan kay Seyè a, pou m' ka gade bèl bagay li yo byen, pou m' ka pran tan m' pou m' kalkile nan kay ki apa pou li a.
5 For in the day of trouble, he will keep me secretly in his pavilion. In the secret place of his tabernacle, he will hide me. He will lift me up on a rock.
Jou malè tonbe sou mwen, l'a pwoteje m' lakay li. L'a kache m' byen fon nan tanp li a. L'a leve m' mete yon kote pou anyen pa rive m'.
6 Now my head will be lifted up above my enemies around me. I will offer sacrifices of joy in his tent. I will sing, yes, I will sing praises to the LORD.
Se konsa m'ap genyen batay la sou tout lènmi k'ap sènen m' yo. M'a bat tanbou, m'a ofri bèt pou touye bay Bondye nan tanp li a. M'a chante, m'a fè lwanj Seyè a.
7 Hear, LORD, when I cry with my voice. Have mercy also on me, and answer me.
Seyè, tande m' non lè m'ap rele ou! Gen pitye pou mwen, reponn mwen non!
8 When you said, “Seek my face,” my heart said to you, “I will seek your face, LORD.”
Ou pale nan kè m', ou di m' vin jwenn ou. M'ap vin jwenn ou, Seyè.
9 Do not hide your face from me. Do not put your servant away in anger. You have been my help. Do not abandon me, neither forsake me, God of my salvation.
Pa vire do ban mwen. Pa fache, pa repouse moun k'ap sèvi ou la. Se ou ki tout sekou mwen. Pa kite m' pou kont mwen, pa lage m'.
10 When my father and my mother forsake me, then the LORD will take me up.
Papa m' ak manman m' te mèt lage m', Seyè a va ranmase mwen.
11 Teach me your way, LORD. Lead me in a straight path, because of my enemies.
Seyè, moutre m' jan ou vle m' viv la. Fè m' mache nan chemen ki pa gen move pa a, paske mwen gen anpil lènmi k'ap veye m'.
12 Do not deliver me over to the desire of my adversaries, for false witnesses have risen up against me, such as breathe out cruelty.
Pa lage m' nan men lènmi m' yo. Yo soti pou yo touye m'. Se yon bann moun k'ap bay manti.
13 I am still confident of this: I will see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living.
Mwen menm, mwen sèten m'a viv pou m' wè jan Bondye sèvi byen ak pèp li a.
14 Wait for the LORD. Be strong, and let your heart take courage. Yes, wait for the LORD.
Mete espwa ou nan Seyè a! Gen konfyans, pa dekouraje! Wi, mete espwa ou nan Seyè a!
