Psalms 35
1 A Psalm of David. Strive, O LORD, with them that strive with me; fight against them that fight against me.
Se yon sòm David. Seyè, atake moun ki pa vle wè m' yo, goumen ak moun k'ap fè m' lagè yo.
2 Take hold of shield and buckler, and rise up to my help.
Pran zam ou sèvi pou pare kou a, leve non, vin pote m' sekou.
3 Draw out also the spear, and the battle-axe, against them that pursue me; say unto my soul: 'I am Thy salvation.'
Pran fwenn ou, pran rach ou. Atake moun k'ap pousib mwen yo. Fè m' konnen se ou menm k'ap delivre m'.
4 Let them be ashamed and brought to confusion that seek after my soul; let them be turned back and be abashed that devise my hurt.
Se pou moun k'ap chache touye m' yo sezi, se pou yo wont. Se pou moun k'ap fè konplo sou mwen yo rale kò yo dèyè. Se pou yo pa ka leve tèt yo.
5 Let them be as chaff before the wind, the angel of the LORD thrusting them.
Se pou yo tankou pay van ap pote ale, lè zanj Bondye a ap kouri dèyè yo.
6 Let their way be dark and slippery, the angel of the LORD pursuing them.
Se pou fènwa bare wout yo, pou chemen an glise anba pye yo, lè zanj Bondye a ap talonnen yo.
7 For without cause have they hid for me the pit, even their net, without cause have they digged for my soul.
San m' pa fè yo anyen, y'ap tann pèlen pou mwen. San m' pa fè yo anyen, y'ap fouye yon twou byen fon pou m' ka tonbe ladan l'.
8 Let destruction come upon him unawares; and let his net that he hath hid catch himself; with destruction let him fall therein.
Men, y'ap rete konsa, malè ap tonbe sou yo, y'ap pran nan pèlen yo te tann lan, y'ap tonbe nan twou yo te fouye a.
9 And my soul shall be joyful in the LORD; it shall rejoice in His salvation.
Se konsa Seyè a pral fè kè m' kontan, m'ap kontan anpil, paske li delivre mwen.
10 All my bones shall say: 'LORD, who is like unto Thee, who deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him, yea, the poor and the needy from him that spoileth him?'
M'a di ak tout kè mwen: -Seyè, pa gen tankou ou! Ou delivre fèb yo anba moun ki gen fòs pase yo. Ou delivre pòv yo ak malere yo anba moun k'ap piye yo.
11 Unrighteous witnesses rise up; they ask me of things that I know not.
Gen moun k'ap kanpe bay manti sou mwen. Yo di mwen fè yon pakèt bagay mwen pa janm konnen mwen fè.
12 They repay me evil for good; bereavement is come to my soul.
Moun mwen fè byen se yo k'ap fè m' mal. Mwen fin dekouraje.
13 But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth, I afflicted my soul with fasting; and my prayer, may it return into mine own bosom.
Lè yo te malad, mwen te pran gwo lapenn pou yo, mwen rete san manje. Mwen bese tèt mwen pou mwen lapriyè pou yo,
14 I went about as though it had been my friend or my brother; I bowed down mournful, as one that mourneth for his mother.
menm jan mwen ta lapriyè pou yon zanmi osinon pou yon frè. M'ap mache do ba ak gwo lapenn nan kè m', tankou yon moun ki pèdi manman l'.
15 But when I halt they rejoice, and gather themselves together; the abjects gather themselves together against me, and those whom I know not; they tear me, and cease not;
Men, lè mwen menm mwen nan tray, yo tout yo kontan, yo mete tèt yo ansanm. Y'ap fè pil dèyè do m' pou bay manti sou mwen. Y'ap kale do m' san pran souf.
16 With the profanest mockeries of backbiting they gnash at me with their teeth.
Yo atake m', yo pase m' nan betiz. Y'ap gade m', y'ap griyen dan sou mwen.
17 Lord, how long wilt Thou look on? Rescue my soul from their destructions, mine only one from the lions.
Seyè, pou konbe tan ankò w'a penmèt sa? Pwoteje m' non anba bèt sovaj sa yo. Sove m' anba lyon sa yo.
18 I will give Thee thanks in the great congregation; I will praise Thee among a numerous people.
M'a di ou mèsi nan mitan tout moun lè yo reyini, m'a fè lwanj ou devan yon gwo foul moun.
19 Let not them that are wrongfully mine enemies rejoice over me; neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause.
Pa kite lènmi m' yo, bann mantò sa yo, fè fèt sou tèt mwen. Pa kite moun sa yo ki rayi m' san m' pa fè yo anyen an fè siy sou mwen.
20 For they speak not peace; but they devise deceitful matters against them that are quiet in the land.
Yo pale tankou moun k'ap chache kont. Y'ap kalkile tout kalite manti pou yo fè sou moun ki pa nan kont ak pesonn nan peyi a.
21 Yea, they open their mouth wide against me; they say: 'Aha, aha, our eye hath seen it.'
Yo louvri bouch yo byen laj pou bay manti sou mwen. Y'ap di: -Wi! Nou te wè ou!
22 Thou hast seen, O LORD; keep not silence; O Lord, be not far from me.
Men ou menm, Seyè, ou wè tout bagay. Pa rete san ou pa di anyen nan sa, Seyè! Pa rete lwen m' konsa.
23 Rouse Thee, and awake to my judgment, even unto my cause, my God and my Lord.
Leve non, Seyè, vin pran defans mwen! Leve non, Bondye mwen, vin plede kòz mwen!
24 Judge me, O LORD my God, according to Thy righteousness; and let them not rejoice over me.
Ou pa nan patipri, Seyè. Fè m' jistis. Pa kite lènmi m' yo fè fèt sou tèt mwen.
25 Let them not say in their heart: 'Aha, we have our desire'; let them not say: 'We have swallowed him up.'
Pa kite yo di nan kè yo: -Wi! se sa menm nou te vle rive li! Pa kite yo di: -Nou fini avè l'!
26 Let them be ashamed and abashed together that rejoice at my hurt; let them be clothed with shame and confusion that magnify themselves against me.
Tout moun ki kontan wè jan m'ap soufri a, se pou yo wont jouk yo pa konn sa pou yo fè. Se pou moun k'ap gonfle lestonmak yo sou mwen pèdi fil, se pou yo kouri al kache!
27 Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that delight in my righteousness; yea, let them say continually: 'Magnified be the LORD, who delighteth in the peace of His servant.'
Se pou moun ki kontan wè jan m' inonsan an pran rele byen fò san rete. Se pou yo di: -Seyè a gen gwo pouvwa! Li vle pou sèvitè li viv ak kè poze.
28 And my tongue shall speak of Thy righteousness, and of Thy praise all the day.
Lè sa a, m'a fè konnen jistis ou, m'a fè lwanj ou tout lajounen.
