Psalms 140
1 To the chief Musician. A Psalm of David. Free me, O Jehovah, from the evil man; preserve me from the violent man:
Pou direktè koral la; Yon Sòm David Delivre m, O SENYÈ, de moun mechan yo. Delivre m de moun vyolan yo:
2 Who devise mischiefs in [their] heart; every day are they banded together for war.
ka p fè manèv mechan nan kè yo. Tout tan, y ap fè pwovokasyon pou fè lagè.
3 They sharpen their tongues like a serpent; adders' poison is under their lips. (Selah)
Yo file lang yo tankou koulèv. Pwazon a sèpan mòtèl la anba lèv yo. Tan
4 Keep me, O Jehovah, from the hands of the wicked [man], preserve me from the violent man, who devise to overthrow my steps.
Kenbe m, O SENYÈ, de men moun mechan yo. Pwoteje m de moun vyolan ki te fè plan pou pye m yo ta tonbe yo.
5 The proud have hidden a snare for me, and cords; they have spread a net by the way-side; they have set traps for me. (Selah)
Ògeye yo fin ranje yon pèlen pou mwen. Avèk kòd, yo te ouvri yon pèlen bò wout la. Yo fin plase yon pyèj pou mwen. Tan
6 I have said unto Jehovah, Thou art my God: give ear, O Jehovah, to the voice of my supplications.
Mwen te di a SENYÈ a: “Se Ou ki Bondye mwen.” Bay zòrèy, O SENYÈ, a vwa a siplikasyon mwen yo.
7 Jehovah, the Lord, is the strength of my salvation: thou hast covered my head in the day of battle.
O BONDYE Senyè a, fòs a sali mwen an, Ou te kouvri tèt mwen nan jou batay la.
8 Grant not, O Jehovah, the desire of the wicked; further not his device: they would exalt themselves. (Selah)
Pa akonpli, O SENYÈ, dezi a mechan an. Pa pèmèt manèv mechan li yo, pou l pa vin leve wo. Tan
9 [As for] the head of those that encompass me, let the mischief of their own lips cover them.
Epi pou chèf an tèt a (sila) ki antoure mwen yo, pou malveyans a pwòp lèv yo kapab vin kouvri yo.
10 Let burning coals fall on them; let them be cast into the fire; into deep waters, that they rise not up again.
Kite chabon tou limen vin tonbe sou yo. Kite yo jete nan dife, nan fòs fon kote yo p ap kab leve sòti.
11 Let not the man of [evil] tongue be established in the earth: evil shall hunt the man of violence to [his] ruin.
(Sila) ki bay kout lang yo pap vin etabli sou latè. Mal la va kouri vit dèyè moun vyolans lan.
12 I know that Jehovah will maintain the cause of the afflicted one, the right of the needy.
Mwen konnen ke SENYÈ a va bay soutyen a aflije yo, e fè jistis pou malere a.
13 Yea, the righteous shall give thanks unto thy name; the upright shall dwell in thy presence.
Anverite, moun dwat yo va bay remèsiman a non Ou. Epi moun dwat yo va abite nan prezans Ou.
