Psalms 55
1 For the choirmaster. With stringed instruments. A Maskil of David. Listen to my prayer, O God, and do not ignore my plea.
Pou chèf sanba yo. Se sou enstriman mizik akòd pou yo jwe mizik la. Se yon chante David. Bondye, panche zòrèy ou bò kote m'! Koute m' non lè m'ap lapriyè! Piga ou vire do ban mwen lè m'ap rele nan pye ou!
2 Attend to me and answer me. I am restless in my complaint, and distraught
Pran ka mwen, koute m', reponn mwen non! Kè m' sere, m'ap plenn!
3 at the voice of the enemy, at the pressure of the wicked. For they release disaster upon me and revile me in their anger.
Mwen boulvèse lè m' tande lènmi m' yo ap pale, lè m' tande mechan yo ap pale byen fò. Yo fè malè tonbe sou mwen. Yo move sou mwen, y'ap pèsekite m'.
4 My heart murmurs within me, and the terrors of death assail me.
Mwen santi kè m' kase. Sezisman pran m' lè m' wè mwen fin mouri.
5 Fear and trembling grip me, and horror has overwhelmed me.
Tout kò m' ap tranble tèlman mwen sezi.
6 I said, “Oh, that I had wings like a dove! I would fly away and find rest.
Mwen di konsa: -Pa pito m' te gen zèl tankou yon toutrèl! Mwen ta vole ale. Mwen ta jwenn kote pou m' pran repo.
7 How far away I would flee! In the wilderness I would remain.
Mwen ta kouri pati ale byen lwen. Mwen t'aval rete pou kont mwen nan dezè a.
8 I would hurry to my shelter, far from this raging tempest.”
Mwen ta prese jwenn yon kote pou m' kache pou gwo van an, pou gwo lapli a pa fè m' anyen.
9 O Lord, confuse and confound their speech, for I see violence and strife in the city.
Seyè, mele yo. Fè yonn pa konprann sa lòt ap di. Paske, sa m' wè nan lavil la se chen manje chen, yonn ap goumen ak lòt.
10 Day and night they encircle the walls, while malice and trouble lie within.
Lajounen kou lannwit se sa ase ou tande nan lavil la. Anndan lavil la menm, se mechanste, se malfezans.
11 Destruction is within; oppression and deceit never leave the streets.
Kote ou pase se moun k'ap kraze brize. Nan tout lari se fè moun lenjistis, se twonpe moun.
12 For it is not an enemy who insults me; that I could endure. It is not a foe who rises against me; from him I could hide.
Si se te yon moun ki rayi m' ki t'ap pale m' mal, mwen ta reziyen m'. Si se te yon moun ki pa vle wè m' ki te leve dèyè mwen, mwen ta kache kò m' pou l' pa jwenn mwen.
13 But it is you, a man like myself, my companion and close friend.
Men, se ou menm, kanmarad mwen, yon bon zanmi m' ki te konn tout ti zafè m'.
14 We shared sweet fellowship together; we walked with the crowd into the house of God.
Nou te konn fè ti koze nou ansanm. Nou te konn al lakay Bondye a ansanm ak foul moun yo.
15 Let death seize them by surprise; let them go down to Sheol alive, for evil is with them in their homes. (Sheol h7585)
Se pou yo rete konsa, yo tonbe yo mouri. Se pou yo desann tou vivan kote mò yo ye a, paske mechanste a kaye lakay yo, li nan fon kè yo. (Sheol h7585)
16 But I call to God, and the LORD saves me.
Men, mwen rele Seyè a, Bondye mwen; l'a delivre mwen.
17 Morning, noon, and night, I cry out in distress, and He hears my voice.
Maten, midi, aswè, m'ap plenyen, m'ap plenn. L'a tande vwa mwen.
18 He redeems my soul in peace from the battle waged against me, even though many oppose me.
L'a fè m' viv ak kè poze, l'a delivre m' nan batay m'ap mennen ak moun ki leve dèyè m' yo. Yo te mèt anpil.
19 God will hear and humiliate them— the One enthroned for the ages— (Selah) because they do not change and they have no fear of God.
Bondye k'ap gouvènen depi tout tan an va koute m', l'a kraze lògèy yo. Paske, yo p'ap janm chanje, yo pa gen krentif pou Bondye.
20 My companion attacks his friends; he violates his covenant.
Moun ki leve men sou zanmi yo se moun ki trèt.
21 His speech is smooth as butter, but war is in his heart. His words are softer than oil, yet they are swords unsheathed.
Pawòl nan bouch yo pi dous pase siwo. Men, nan fon kè yo se yon sèl bagay yo konnen: se goumen. Pawòl yo koule dous tankou lwil, men lang yo se razwa.
22 Cast your burden upon the LORD and He will sustain you; He will never let the righteous be shaken.
Renmèt sò ou nan men Seyè a, l'a kenbe ou fèm. Li p'ap janm kite moun ki mache dwat devan li yo rete atè lè yo tonbe.
23 But You, O God, will bring them down to the Pit of destruction; men of bloodshed and deceit will not live out half their days. But I will trust in You.
Men ou menm, Bondye, w'ap fè bann ansasen sa yo ak bann vòlè sa yo desann anba tè. Yo p'ap wè mwatye nan lavi yo. Men, mwen menm, se nan ou m'ap mete tout konfyans mwen.
