Psalms 10
1 So then, why, O Lord, have you withdrawn far away? Why have you overlooked us in opportunity, in tribulation?
Poukisa ou rete lwen konsa, Seyè? Poukisa ou kache kò ou konsa lè nou nan ka?
2 While the impious is arrogant, the poor is enflamed. They are held by the counsels that they devise.
Mechan an ap gonfle lestonmak li, l'ap pèsekite malere yo. Se pou pye l' pran nan pèlen limenm li tann lan.
3 For the sinner is praised by the desires of his soul, and the iniquitous is blessed.
Mechan an ap vante tèt li pou move lanvi li gen nan kè l'. Lanbisyon fè l' pale mal, li vire do bay Bondye.
4 The sinner has provoked the Lord; according to the multitude of his wrath, he will not seek him.
Mechan an tèlman gen lògèy, l'ap plede di: -Bondye p'ap pini m'. Pa gen Bondye. Se sa ase mechan an mete nan tèt li.
5 God is not before his sight. His ways are stained at all times. Your judgments are removed from his face. He will be master of all his enemies.
Tou sa li fè toujou mache byen. Li pa konprann jijman Bondye yo. L'ap meprize lènmi l' yo.
6 For he has said in his heart, “I will not be disturbed: from generation to generation without evil.”
L'ap di nan kè l': Anyen pa ka brannen m'. Mwen p'ap janm nan pwoblèm.
7 His mouth is full of curses, and bitterness, and deceit. Under his tongue are hardship and sorrow.
Tout pawòl li se madichon, se manti, se twonpe moun. Li cho konsa pou l' pale moun mal, pou l' di gwo mo.
8 He sits in ambush, with resources in hidden places, so that he may execute the innocent.
Li kache kò l' nan ti bouk yo, l'ap pare tann inonsan yo pou l' touye yo an kachèt. L'ap veye moun ki san defans.
9 His eyes catch sight of the poor. He lies in ambush, in hiding like a lion in his den. He lies in ambush, so that he may seize the poor, to seize the poor as he draws him in.
Li anbiske kò l' tankou yon lyon nan kachèt li. Li kouche, l'ap tann malere yo. Li pran yo nan pèlen li, li trennen yo pote ale.
10 With his snare, he will bring him down. He will crouch down and pounce, when he has power over the poor.
Li bese, li kwoupi kò l', malere yo tonbe nan men l'.
11 For he has said in his heart, “God has forgotten, he has turned away his face, lest he see to the end.”
Mechan an di nan kè l': -Bondye p'ap okipe bagay konsa. Li fèmen je l', li p'ap janm wè m'.
12 O Lord God, rise up. Let your hand be exalted. Do not forget the poor.
Leve non, Seyè! vin sove mwen! Bondye, pa bliye moun y'ap peze yo!
13 How has the impious one provoked God? For he has said in his heart, “He will not inquire.”
Ki jan mechan an fè ap meprize Bondye jouk pou li di nan kè l': Li p'ap pini mwen?
14 You do see, for you examine hardship and sorrow, so that you may deliver them into your hands. The poor one has been abandoned to you. You will be a helper to the orphan.
Men, ou make tout bagay. Ou konnen soufrans ak lapenn lèzòm. Ou toujou pare pou ede yo. Moun ki san defans yo, se nan men ou yo lage kòz yo, paske ou toujou ede moun ki san papa.
15 Break the arm of the sinner and the malicious. His sin will be sought, and it will not be found.
Kraze pouvwa mechan yo, pouvwa moun k'ap fè mal yo. Fè yo rann kont pou sa yo fè, jouk yo disparèt nèt devan je ou.
16 The Lord shall reign in eternity, even forever and ever. You will perish the Gentiles from his land.
Seyè a, se wa li ye depi tout tan ak pou tout tan. Moun lòt nasyon yo gen pou disparèt nan peyi li a.
17 The Lord has heeded the desire of the poor. Your ear has listened to the preparation of their heart,
Seyè, w'a koute moun ki soumèt devan ou lè y'ap lapriyè. W'a ba yo kouraj.
18 so as to judge for the orphan and the humble, so that man may no longer presume to magnify himself upon the earth.
W'a tande rèl moun y'ap peze yo, rèl timoun ki san papa yo. W'a fè yo jistis. Konsa, lèzòm ki fèt ak pousyè tè p'ap kapab fè moun pè ankò.
