Psalms 37
1 A Psalme of David. Fret not thy selfe because of the wicked men, neither be enuious for the euill doers.
Se yon sòm David. Pa fè kòlè lè ou wè mechan yo! Pa anvye sò moun k'ap fè mal yo!
2 For they shall soone bee cut downe like grasse, and shall wither as the greene herbe.
Talè konsa, y'ap rache yo tankou raje. Yo gen pou yo fennen tankou zèb gazon.
3 Trust thou in the Lord and do good: dwell in the land, and thou shalt be fed assuredly.
Mete konfyans ou nan Seyè a, fè sa ki byen! Pran peyi a fè kay ou, viv ak kè poze!
4 And delite thy selfe in the Lord, and hee shall giue thee thine hearts desire.
Si se nan Seyè a ou pran tout plezi ou, l'a ba ou tou sa ou ta renmen.
5 Commit thy way vnto the Lord, and trust in him, and he shall bring it to passe.
Renmèt kòz ou nan men Seyè a! Mete konfyans ou nan li, l'a ede ou.
6 And he shall bring foorth thy righteousnes as the light, and thy iudgement as the noone day.
L'a fè jistis ou parèt aklè tankou yon limyè, l'a fè rezon ou parèt aklè tankou gwo solèy midi.
7 Waite patiently vpon the Lord and hope in him: fret not thy selfe for him which prospereth in his way: nor for the man that bringeth his enterprises to passe.
Rete dousman dèvan Seyè a, pran san ou. Tann li fè sa l' gen pou l' fè a. Pa fè kòlè lè ou wè moun gen zafè yo ap mache byen. lè ou wè moun reyalize tout move lide yo gen nan tèt yo.
8 Cease from anger, and leaue off wrath: fret not thy selfe also to doe euill.
Pa fache, pa fè move san. Ou pa bezwen ennève! Sa kapab fè ou fè sa ki mal.
9 For euill doers shalbe cut off, and they that wait vpon the Lord, they shall inherite the land.
Moun ki mete konfyans yo nan Seyè a va pran peyi a pou yo. Men, y'ap disparèt mechan yo.
10 Therefore yet a litle while, and the wicked shall not appeare, and thou shalt looke after his place, and he shall not be found.
Talè konsa, p'ap gen mechan ankò. W'a chache yo, ou p'ap jwenn yo.
11 But meeke men shall possesse the earth, and shall haue their delite in the multitude of peace.
Men, moun ki soumèt devan Bondye, yo pral resevwa pèyi a pou byen yo, y'a viv ak kè poze nèt ale.
12 The wicked practiseth against the iust, and gnasheth his teeth against him.
Mechan yo ap fè konplo sou moun k'ap mache dwat yo. Y'ap gade yo konsa, yo anvi devore yo.
13 But the Lord shall laugh him to scorne: for he seeth, that his day is comming.
Seyè a ap ri mechan an, paske li konnen mechan an pa la pou lontan.
14 The wicked haue drawen their sworde, and haue bent their bowe, to cast downe the poore and needie, and to slay such as be of vpright conuersation.
Mechan yo rale koulin yo, y'ap pare banza yo, pou yo touye pòv yo ak malere yo, pou ansasinen moun k'ap mache dwat yo.
15 But their sword shall enter into their owne heart, and their bowes shalbe broken.
Men, se yo menm menm koulin yo pral rache. Banza yo menm ap kase nan men yo.
16 A small thing vnto the iust man is better, then great riches to the wicked and mightie.
Pito ou pa gen anpil byen, men ou mache dwat, pase pou ou gen anpil richès nan fè sa ki mal.
17 For the armes of the wicked shall be broken: but the Lord vpholdeth the iust men.
Paske, Bondye ap kraze kouraj mechan yo, men l'ap soutni moun ki mache dwat yo.
18 The Lord knoweth the dayes of vpright men, and their inheritance shall bee perpetuall.
Seyè a konnen jan moun ki fè volonte l' yo ap viv. Eritaj yo la pou tout tan.
19 They shall not be confounded in the perilous time, and in the daies of famine they shall haue ynough.
Yo p'ap wont lè bagay gate, y'ap jwenn tou sa yo bezwen lè grangou tonbe sou peyi a.
20 But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the Lord shall be consumed as the fatte of lambes: euen with the smoke shall they consume away.
Men mechan yo ap peri. Moun ki pa vle wè Seyè a ap fennen tankou flè savann. Y'ap disparèt tankou lafimen.
21 The wicked boroweth and payeth not againe. but the righteous is mercifull, and giueth.
Mechan an prete, li pa nan renmèt. Men, moun ki mache dwat yo gen kè sansib, yo fè kado.
22 For such as be blessed of God, shall inherite the lande, and they that be cursed of him, shalbe cut off.
Moun Seyè a beni va pran peyi a pou yo. Men, moun ki anba madichon Bondye gen pou disparèt sou tè a.
23 The pathes of man are directed by the Lord: for he loueth his way.
Seyè a pran men lèzòm, li mete yo nan bon chemen. Li kontan wè yo mache dwat.
24 Though he fall, hee shall not be cast off: for the Lord putteth vnder his hand.
Si yo tonbe, yo p'ap rete atè a. Paske Seyè a ap ba yo men.
25 I haue beene yong, and am olde: yet I sawe neuer the righteous forsaken, nor his seede begging bread.
Depi mwen timoun jouk mwen vin granmoun, mwen pa janm wè Bondye lage yon moun ki mache dwat, ni mwen pa janm wè pitit pitit li yo ap mande charite.
26 But hee is euer mercifull and lendeth, and his seede enioyeth the blessing.
Okontrè, moun ki mache dwat l'a toujou gen kè sansib pou l' bay, pou li prete moun tou. Tout pitit pitit li yo tounen yon benediksyon pou lòt moun.
27 Flee from euill and doe good, and dwell for euer.
Pa fè mal, fè sa ki byen. W'a toujou gen yon kote nan peyi a pou ou rete.
28 For the Lord loueth iudgement, and forsaketh not his Saintes: they shall be preserued for euermore: but the seede of the wicked shall be cut off.
Paske, Seyè a renmen moun ki mache dwat. Li pa lage moun ki kenbe fèm nan sèvis li. L'ap toujou pwoteje yo. Men, ras mechan yo gen pou disparèt.
29 The righteous men shall inherit the lande, and dwell therein for euer.
Moun ki mache dwat gen pou pran peyi a pou yo. Y'ap rete nan peyi a tout tan tout tan.
30 The mouth of the righteous will speake of wisedome, and his tongue will talke of iudgement.
Moun ki mache dwat devan Bondye bay bon konsèy. Se bon pawòl ase ki soti nan bouch li.
31 For the Lawe of his God is in his heart, and his steppes shall not slide.
Li kenbe lalwa Bondye a fèm nan kè li, li p'ap janm bite.
32 The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him.
Mechan an ap veye tout vire tounen moun k'ap mache dwat, l'ap chache jan pou l' touye l'.
33 But the Lord wil not leaue him in his hand, nor condemne him, when he is iudged.
Men, Seyè a p'ap lage l' nan men mechan an, li p'ap kite yo kondannen l' lè y'ap jije l'.
34 Waite thou on the Lord, and keepe his way, and he shall exalt thee, that thou shalt inherite the lande: when the wicked men shall perish, thou shalt see.
Mete konfyans ou nan Seyè a, fè tou sa l' mande ou fè. L'ap ba ou fòs pou ou ka pran peyi a pou ou. Ou gen pou wè mechan yo disparèt sou latè.
35 I haue seene the wicked strong, and spreading himselfe like a greene bay tree.
Mwen te wè yon mechan ki te fè tout moun pè li, li te kanpe tankou yon gwo pye mapou.
36 Yet he passed away, and loe, he was gone, and I sought him, but he could not be founde.
Apre sa, mwen tounen vin pase kote l' te ye a, li pa t' la. Mwen chache l', mwen pa janm wè l' ankò.
37 Marke the vpright man, and beholde the iust: for the end of that man is peace.
Gade moun k'ap mache dwat la byen gade. Gade tout vire tounen l'. Moun ki viv byen ak tout moun ap gen pitit ak pitit pitit.
38 But the transgressours shall be destroyed together, and the ende of the wicked shall bee cut off.
Men, moun k'ap fè mal yo, y'ap rete konsa y'ap disparèt. Tout pitit ak pitit pitit yo ap disparèt tou.
39 But the saluation of the righteous men shalbe of the Lord: he shalbe their strength in the time of trouble.
Se Seyè a k'ap sove moun ki mache dwat yo. L'ap sèvi yo defans lè yo nan tray.
40 For the Lord shall helpe them, and deliuer them: he shall deliuer them from the wicked, and shall saue them, because they trust in him.
L'ap pote yo sekou, l'ap delivre yo. L'ap wete yo anba men mechan yo, paske se anba zèl li y' al chache pwoteksyon.
