Psalms 16
1 Michtam of Dauid. Preserue mee, O God: for in thee doe I trust.
Sè yon kantik David. Pwoteje m', Bondye, paske se bò kote ou m'ap chache pwoteksyon.
2 O my soule, thou hast sayd vnto the Lord, Thou art my Lord: my weldoing extendeth not to thee,
Mwen di Seyè a: -Se ou ki sèl Mèt mwen. Se ou menm ki tout mwen. Pa gen pase ou!
3 But to the Saints that are in the earth, and to the excellent: all my delite is in them.
Tout plezi m' se pou m' toujou la avè moun k'ap sèvi Seyè a nan peyi a.
4 The sorowes of them, that offer to an other god, shall be multiplied: their offerings of blood will I not offer, neither make mention of their names with my lips.
Moun k'ap kouri dèyè tout lòt bondye yo, se traka y'ap chache bay tèt yo. Mwen p'ap mele nan ofrann bèt y'ap fè. Mwen p'ap janm nonmen non bondye sa yo.
5 The Lord is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou shalt mainteine my lot.
Seyè, se ou menm ki tout byen mwen. Se ou ki ban m' tou sa m' merite. Lavi m' nan men ou.
6 The lines are fallen vnto me in pleasant places: yea, I haue a faire heritage.
Ala yon bèl eritaj ki vin pou mwen! Ala kontan mwen kontan pou pòsyon pa m' lan!
7 I wil prayse the Lord, who hath giuen me counsell: my reines also teach me in the nightes.
M'ap fè lwanj Seyè a paske li ban m' bon konsèy. Menm lannwit, konsyans mwen di m' sa pou m' fè.
8 I haue set the Lord alwayes before me: for hee is at my right hand: therefore I shall not slide.
Mwen toujou mete Seyè a devan je m'. Paske li toujou bò kote m'. Anyen pa ka brannen m'.
9 Wherefore mine heart is glad and my tongue reioyceth: my flesh also doeth rest in hope.
Se poutèt sa, kè m' kontan anpil. Mwen santi se tout tan mwen ta chante. Ata kò mwen m'ap poze ak konfyans nan Bondye.
10 For thou wilt not leaue my soule in the graue: neither wilt thou suffer thine holy one to see corruption. (Sheol h7585)
Paske ou p'ap kite m' kote mò yo ye a, ou p'ap penmèt moun k'ap sèvi ou la pouri anba tè. (Sheol h7585)
11 Thou wilt shew me the path of life: in thy presence is the fulnesse of ioy: and at thy right hand there are pleasures for euermore.
W'a fè m' konnen chemen ki bay lavi a. Paske ou la avè m', mwen pa manke kontan. Bò kote ou, Seyè, se yon plèzi ki p'ap janm fini.
