Psalms 22
1 To the chief music-maker on Aijeleth-hash-shahar. A Psalm. Of David. My God, my God, why are you turned away from me? why are you so far from helping me, and from the words of my crying?
Pou chèf sanba yo. Se pou yo chante l' sou lè chante ki di: Nan granmaten yon fenmèl kabrit. Se yon sòm David. Bondye, Bondye m', poukisa ou lage m' konsa? Poukisa ou rete lwen konsa, san pote m' sekou, san koute jan m'ap plenn lan?
2 O my God, I make my cry in the day, and you give no answer; and in the night, and have no rest.
Tout lajounen m'ap rele ou, Bondye mwen, ou pa reponn. Tout lannwit m'ap rele, mwen pa ka dòmi.
3 But you are holy, O you who are seated among the praises of Israel.
Men, se ou menm ki Bondye, ou chita sou fotèy ki apa pou ou a. Pèp Izrayèl la ap fè lwanj ou.
4 Our fathers had faith in you: they had faith and you were their saviour.
Zansèt nou yo te mete konfyans yo nan ou. Yo te fè ou konfyans, ou te sove yo.
5 They sent up their cry to you and were made free: they put their faith in you and were not put to shame.
Lè yo te kriye nan pye ou, ou te wete yo nan move pa. Wi, yo te mete konfyans yo nan ou, yo pa t' janm regrèt yo te fè sa.
6 But I am a worm and not a man; cursed by men, and looked down on by the people.
Men, se pa moun mwen ye ankò, se yon vètè mwen tounen. Tout moun ap meprize m', tout moun ap pase m' nan betiz.
7 I am laughed at by all those who see me: pushing out their lips and shaking their heads they say,
Tout moun ki wè m' pase m' nan rizib. Y'ap lonje dwèt sou mwen, y'ap fè siy sou mwen.
8 He put his faith in the Lord; let the Lord be his saviour now: let the Lord be his saviour, because he had delight in him.
Y'ap di m' konsa: -Jan ou te konte sou Seyè a, poukisa li pa delivre ou? Si Seyè a renmen ou, poukisa li pa ede ou?
9 But it was you who took care of me from the day of my birth: you gave me faith even from my mother's breasts.
Se ou menm ki te fè m' soti san danje nan vant manman m'. Se ou menm ankò ki te pwoteje m' lè m' te nan tete.
10 I was in your hands even before my birth; you are my God from the time when I was in my mother's body.
Depi nan vant manman m', se ou menm k'ap pwoteje m'. Depi anvan mwen te fèt, se ou menm ki Bondye mwen.
11 Be not far from me, for trouble is near; there is no one to give help.
Pa rete lwen m' konsa. Malè prèt pou tonbe sou mwen, mwen pa gen pesonn pou ede m'.
12 A great herd of oxen is round me: I am shut in by the strong oxen of Bashan.
Lènmi m' yo anpil, yo sènen m' toupatou. Yo tankou gwo towo bèf peyi Bazan. Kote m' vire yo la.
13 I saw their mouths wide open, like lions crying after food.
Yo louvri bouch yo, ou ta di se lyon k'ap gwonde, ki prèt pou dechire mwen.
14 I am flowing away like water, and all my bones are out of place: my heart is like wax, it has become soft in my body.
Mwen pèdi tout fòs mwen, tankou dlo ki tonbe atè. Tout zo nan kò m' dejwente. Mwen santi kè m' ap kase, tout zantray mwen ap bouyi.
15 My throat is dry like a broken vessel; my tongue is fixed to the roof of my mouth, and the dust of death is on my lips.
Fòs mwen ap cheche, tankou labou nan solèy. Lang mwen kole nan fon bouch mwen. Mwen santi m' prèt pou mouri.
16 Dogs have come round me: I am shut in by the band of evil-doers; they made wounds in my hands and feet.
Tankou yon bann chen, mechan yo sènen m'. Bann mechan yo fèmen m' toupatou. Yo kraze de men m' ak de pye m' yo.
17 I am able to see all my bones; their looks are fixed on me:
Tout zo nan kò m' parèt. Y'ap gade m', y'ap veye m'.
18 They make a division of my robes among them, by the decision of chance they take my clothing.
Y'ap separe rad mwen ant yo menm, y'ap tire osò pou rad mwen an.
19 Do not be far from me, O Lord: O my strength, come quickly to my help.
Pa rete lwen m' konsa, Seyè. Ou menm ki tout fòs mwen, prese vin pote m' sekou.
20 Make my soul safe from the sword, my life from the power of the dog.
Pa kite yo touye m' ak kout nepe. Pa kite chen yo devore m'.
21 Be my saviour from the lion's mouth; let me go free from the horns of the cruel oxen.
Wete m' nan bouch lyon yo. Delivre m' anba towo savann sa yo. Ou reponn mwen, Seyè!
22 I will give the knowledge of your name to my brothers: I will give you praise among the people.
M'a di frè m' yo tout sa ou te fè pou mwen. M'a fè lwanj ou lè yo tout reyini ansanm.
23 You who have fear of the Lord, give him praise; all you seed of Jacob, give him glory; go in fear of him, all you seed of Israel.
Nou tout ki gen krentif pou Seyè a, fè lwanj li. Nou tout pitit pitit Jakòb yo, chante pou li. Nou tout pèp Izrayèl la, adore li.
24 For he has not been unmoved by the pain of him who is troubled; or kept his face covered from him; but he has given an answer to his cry.
Li pa meprize pòv yo, li pa fèmen je l' sou soufrans yo. Li pa rete lwen yo. Lè yo rele l', li reponn.
25 My praise will be of you in the great meeting: I will make my offerings before his worshippers.
M'a fè lwanj ou pou sa ou fè, nan mitan tout moun yo lè yo reyini. M'a fè sa mwen te pwomèt ou yo, devan tout moun ki gen krentif pou ou yo.
26 The poor will have a feast of good things: those who make search for the Lord will give him praise: your heart will have life for ever.
Pòv yo va manje mezi yo kapab. Moun k'ap chache Seyè a va fè lwanj li. Y'a viv ak kè poze pou tout tan.
27 All the ends of the earth will keep it in mind and be turned to the Lord: all the families of the nations will give him worship.
Tout nasyon va chonje sa Seyè a te fè. Toupatou sou latè yo pral tounen vin jwenn li. Moun tout peyi va adore li.
28 For the kingdom is the Lord's; he is the ruler among the nations.
Se Seyè a ki wa. Se li ki donminen sou tout nasyon.
29 All the fat ones of the earth will give him worship; all those who go down to the dust will make themselves low before him, even he who has not enough for the life of his soul.
Tout grannèg sou latè va bese tèt devan li. Yo tout ki la pou mouri, yo tout ki la pou al anba tè, yo pral adore li.
30 A seed will be his servant; the doings of the Lord will be made clear to the generation which comes after.
Jenerasyon k'ap vini yo va sèvi li. Moun va rakonte istwa Seyè a bay pitit yo.
31 They will come and make his righteousness clear to a people of the future because he has done this.
Pitit yo menm, lè y'a fè pitit, y'a fè konnen jan Seyè a te delivre yo ansanm ak tou sa li te fè pou yo.
