Psalms 41
1 To the chief music-maker. A Psalm. Of David. Happy is the man who gives thought to the poor; the Lord will be his saviour in the time of trouble.
Pou chèf sanba yo. Se yon sòm David. Ala bon sa bon pou moun ki pran ka pòv yo! Seyè a va delivre l' lè la nan tray.
2 The Lord will keep him safe, and give him life; the Lord will let him be a blessing on the earth, and will not give him into the hand of his haters.
Seyè a va pwoteje l', li p'ap kite l' mouri. L'ap fè l' viv ak kè kontan sou latè, li p'ap lage l' nan men lènmi l' yo pou yo fè sa yo vle avè l'.
3 The Lord will be his support on his bed of pain: by you will all his grief be turned to strength.
Seyè a va ba l' fòs lè maladi fè l' pran kabann. Seyè a va ba l' gerizon lè li malad kouche.
4 I said, Lord, have mercy on me; make my soul well, because my faith is in you.
Mwen menm, mwen te di: Seyè, gen pitye pou mwen. Geri mwen, paske mwen te peche kont ou.
5 My haters say evil against me, When will he be dead, and his name come to an end?
Lènmi m' yo ap pale m' mal. Y'ap di: Kilè l'a mouri? Kilè y'a bliye l'?
6 If one comes to see me, deceit is in his heart; he keeps a store of evil, which he makes public in every place.
Moun ki vin wè m' yo, se yon bann ipokrit. Se ranmase yo vin ranmase tout kalite move nouvèl. Soti yo soti, yo pwonmennen rakonte yo toupatou.
7 All my haters are talking secretly together against me; they are designing my downfall.
Tout moun ki pa vle wè m' yo mete tèt yo ansanm pou pale nan zòrèy sou mwen. Yo kwè m' fini, nanpwen renmèd pou mwen. Y'ap fè yon pakèt vye lide sou mwen.
8 They say, He has an evil disease, which will not let him go: and now that he is down he will not get up again.
Y'ap di: Msye kondannen. Kote l' kouche a, nanpwen leve pou li ankò.
9 Even my dearest friend, in whom I had faith, who took bread with me, is turned against me.
Ata pi bon zanmi m' lan, moun mwen te fè konfyans anpil la, moun ki te konn manje nan menm plat avè m' lan, ata li menm, li trayi m'.
10 But you, O Lord, have mercy on me, lifting me up, so that I may give them their punishment.
Men ou menm, Seyè, gen pitye pou mwen. Mete m' sou de pye m' ankò, pou m' ka ba yo sa yo merite.
11 By this I see that you have pleasure in me, because my hater does not overcome me.
M'a konnen ou kontan avè m' vre si m' wè lènmi m' yo pa banboche sou do m'.
12 And as for me, you are my support in my righteousness, giving me a place before your face for ever.
Wi, w'ap soutni m', paske mwen pa fè anyen ki mal. W'ap fè m' kanpe la devan ou pou tout tan.
13 May the Lord God of Israel be praised, through eternal days and for ever. So be it. So be it.
Ann fè lwanj Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la. Ann fè lwanj li pou tout tan. Amèn! Se vre!
