Psalms 55
1 For the Leader; with string-music. Maschil of David. Give ear, O God, to my prayer; and hide not Thyself from my supplication.
Pou chèf sanba yo. Se sou enstriman mizik akòd pou yo jwe mizik la. Se yon chante David. Bondye, panche zòrèy ou bò kote m'! Koute m' non lè m'ap lapriyè! Piga ou vire do ban mwen lè m'ap rele nan pye ou!
2 Attend unto me, and hear me; I am distraught in my complaint, and will moan;
Pran ka mwen, koute m', reponn mwen non! Kè m' sere, m'ap plenn!
3 Because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked; for they cast mischief upon me, and in anger they persecute me.
Mwen boulvèse lè m' tande lènmi m' yo ap pale, lè m' tande mechan yo ap pale byen fò. Yo fè malè tonbe sou mwen. Yo move sou mwen, y'ap pèsekite m'.
4 My heart doth writhe within me; and the terrors of death are fallen upon me.
Mwen santi kè m' kase. Sezisman pran m' lè m' wè mwen fin mouri.
5 Fear and trembling come upon me, and horror hath overwhelmed me.
Tout kò m' ap tranble tèlman mwen sezi.
6 And I said: 'Oh that I had wings like a dove! then would I fly away, and be at rest.
Mwen di konsa: -Pa pito m' te gen zèl tankou yon toutrèl! Mwen ta vole ale. Mwen ta jwenn kote pou m' pran repo.
7 Lo, then would I wander far off, I would lodge in the wilderness. (Selah)
Mwen ta kouri pati ale byen lwen. Mwen t'aval rete pou kont mwen nan dezè a.
8 I would haste me to a shelter from the stormy wind and tempest.'
Mwen ta prese jwenn yon kote pou m' kache pou gwo van an, pou gwo lapli a pa fè m' anyen.
9 Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongue; for I have seen violence and strife in the city.
Seyè, mele yo. Fè yonn pa konprann sa lòt ap di. Paske, sa m' wè nan lavil la se chen manje chen, yonn ap goumen ak lòt.
10 Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof; iniquity also and mischief are in the midst of it.
Lajounen kou lannwit se sa ase ou tande nan lavil la. Anndan lavil la menm, se mechanste, se malfezans.
11 Wickedness is in the midst thereof; oppression and guile depart not from her broad place.
Kote ou pase se moun k'ap kraze brize. Nan tout lari se fè moun lenjistis, se twonpe moun.
12 For it was not an enemy that taunted me, then I could have borne it; neither was it mine adversary that did magnify himself against me, then I would have hid myself from him.
Si se te yon moun ki rayi m' ki t'ap pale m' mal, mwen ta reziyen m'. Si se te yon moun ki pa vle wè m' ki te leve dèyè mwen, mwen ta kache kò m' pou l' pa jwenn mwen.
13 But it was thou, a man mine equal, my companion, and my familiar friend;
Men, se ou menm, kanmarad mwen, yon bon zanmi m' ki te konn tout ti zafè m'.
14 We took sweet counsel together, in the house of God we walked with the throng.
Nou te konn fè ti koze nou ansanm. Nou te konn al lakay Bondye a ansanm ak foul moun yo.
15 May He incite death against them, let them go down alive into the nether-world; for evil is in their dwelling, and within them. (Sheol h7585)
Se pou yo rete konsa, yo tonbe yo mouri. Se pou yo desann tou vivan kote mò yo ye a, paske mechanste a kaye lakay yo, li nan fon kè yo. (Sheol h7585)
16 As for me, I will call upon God; and the LORD shall save me.
Men, mwen rele Seyè a, Bondye mwen; l'a delivre mwen.
17 Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I complain, and moan; and He hath heard my voice.
Maten, midi, aswè, m'ap plenyen, m'ap plenn. L'a tande vwa mwen.
18 He hath redeemed my soul in peace so that none came nigh me; for they were many that strove with me.
L'a fè m' viv ak kè poze, l'a delivre m' nan batay m'ap mennen ak moun ki leve dèyè m' yo. Yo te mèt anpil.
19 God shall hear, and humble them, even He that is enthroned of old, (Selah) such as have no changes, and fear not God.
Bondye k'ap gouvènen depi tout tan an va koute m', l'a kraze lògèy yo. Paske, yo p'ap janm chanje, yo pa gen krentif pou Bondye.
20 He hath put forth his hands against them that were at peace with him; he hath profaned his covenant.
Moun ki leve men sou zanmi yo se moun ki trèt.
21 Smoother than cream were the speeches of his mouth, but his heart was war; his words were softer than oil, yet were they keen-edged swords.
Pawòl nan bouch yo pi dous pase siwo. Men, nan fon kè yo se yon sèl bagay yo konnen: se goumen. Pawòl yo koule dous tankou lwil, men lang yo se razwa.
22 Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and He will sustain thee; He will never suffer the righteous to be moved.
Renmèt sò ou nan men Seyè a, l'a kenbe ou fèm. Li p'ap janm kite moun ki mache dwat devan li yo rete atè lè yo tonbe.
23 But Thou, O God, wilt bring them down into the nethermost pit; men of blood and deceit shall not live out half their days; but as for me, I will trust in Thee.
Men ou menm, Bondye, w'ap fè bann ansasen sa yo ak bann vòlè sa yo desann anba tè. Yo p'ap wè mwatye nan lavi yo. Men, mwen menm, se nan ou m'ap mete tout konfyans mwen.
