Psalms 41
1 For the Leader. A Psalm of David. Happy is he that considereth the poor; the LORD will deliver him in the day of evil.
Pou chèf sanba yo. Se yon sòm David. Ala bon sa bon pou moun ki pran ka pòv yo! Seyè a va delivre l' lè la nan tray.
2 The LORD preserve him, and keep him alive, let him be called happy in the land; and deliver not Thou him unto the greed of his enemies.
Seyè a va pwoteje l', li p'ap kite l' mouri. L'ap fè l' viv ak kè kontan sou latè, li p'ap lage l' nan men lènmi l' yo pou yo fè sa yo vle avè l'.
3 The LORD support him upon the bed of illness; mayest Thou turn all his lying down in his sickness.
Seyè a va ba l' fòs lè maladi fè l' pran kabann. Seyè a va ba l' gerizon lè li malad kouche.
4 As for me, I said: 'O LORD, be gracious unto me; heal my soul; for I have sinned against Thee.'
Mwen menm, mwen te di: Seyè, gen pitye pou mwen. Geri mwen, paske mwen te peche kont ou.
5 Mine enemies speak evil of me: 'When shall he die, and his name perish?'
Lènmi m' yo ap pale m' mal. Y'ap di: Kilè l'a mouri? Kilè y'a bliye l'?
6 And if one come to see me, he speaketh falsehood; his heart gathereth iniquity to itself; when he goeth abroad, he speaketh of it.
Moun ki vin wè m' yo, se yon bann ipokrit. Se ranmase yo vin ranmase tout kalite move nouvèl. Soti yo soti, yo pwonmennen rakonte yo toupatou.
7 All that hate me whisper together against me, against me do they devise my hurt:
Tout moun ki pa vle wè m' yo mete tèt yo ansanm pou pale nan zòrèy sou mwen. Yo kwè m' fini, nanpwen renmèd pou mwen. Y'ap fè yon pakèt vye lide sou mwen.
8 'An evil thing cleaveth fast unto him; and now that he lieth, he shall rise up no more.'
Y'ap di: Msye kondannen. Kote l' kouche a, nanpwen leve pou li ankò.
9 Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, who did eat of my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me.
Ata pi bon zanmi m' lan, moun mwen te fè konfyans anpil la, moun ki te konn manje nan menm plat avè m' lan, ata li menm, li trayi m'.
10 But Thou, O LORD, be gracious unto me, and raise me up, that I may requite them.
Men ou menm, Seyè, gen pitye pou mwen. Mete m' sou de pye m' ankò, pou m' ka ba yo sa yo merite.
11 By this I know that Thou delightest in me, that mine enemy doth not triumph over me.
M'a konnen ou kontan avè m' vre si m' wè lènmi m' yo pa banboche sou do m'.
12 And as for me, Thou upholdest me because of mine integrity, and settest me before Thy face for ever.
Wi, w'ap soutni m', paske mwen pa fè anyen ki mal. W'ap fè m' kanpe la devan ou pou tout tan.
13 Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen.
Ann fè lwanj Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la. Ann fè lwanj li pou tout tan. Amèn! Se vre!
