Psalms 74
1 Maschil of Asaph. Why, O God, hast Thou cast us off for ever? Why doth Thine anger smoke against the flock of Thy pasture?
Se yon chante Asaf. Bondye, poukisa ou lage nou nèt konsa? Poukisa ou an kolè konsa sou moun pa ou yo, sou mouton ki nan savann ou yo?
2 Remember Thy congregation, which Thou hast gotten of old, which Thou hast redeemed to be the tribe of Thine inheritance; and mount Zion, wherein Thou hast dwelt.
Pa bliye pèp ou te chwazi depi nan tan lontan an, pèp ou te achte pou ou te fè yo tounen moun pa ou! Pa bliye mòn Siyon kote ou te chwazi pou rete a!
3 Lift up Thy steps because of the perpetual ruins, even all the evil that the enemy hath done in the sanctuary.
vin wè sa ki rete apre ravaj la! Lènmi nou yo fin kraze dènye bagay nan kay ki apa pou ou a.
4 Thine adversaries have roared in the midst of Thy meeting-place; they have set up their own signs for signs.
Moun ki pa vle wè ou yo, yo kanpe nan mitan kote pèp ou konn reyini an, y'ap rele byen fò. Yo wete tou sa ki nan tanp lan, yo mete drapo pa yo.
5 It seemed as when men wield upwards axes in a thicket of trees.
Yo tankou moun k'ap voye kout rach pou koupe pyebwa nan yon gwo rak.
6 And now all the carved work thereof together they strike down with hatchet and hammers.
Yo kraze bout bèl panno bwa byen travay ki te nan tanp lan, anba kout rach ak kout mato.
7 They have set Thy sanctuary on fire; they have profaned the dwelling-place of Thy name even to the ground.
Yo mete dife nan kay ki apa pou ou a, yo derespekte kote yo fè sèvis pou ou a, yo kraze l' vide atè.
8 They said in their heart: 'Let us make havoc of them altogether'; they have burned up all the meeting-places of God in the land.
Nan kè yo yo te di: Ann kraze yo tout yon sèl kou! Yo boule tout kote ki te apa pou Bondye nan peyi a!
9 We see not our signs; there is no more any prophet; neither is there among us any that knoweth how long.
Tout bèl bagay ki te nan tanp lan disparèt. Pa gen pwofèt ankò. Pesonn pa konnen kilè sa va chanje.
10 How long, O God, shall the adversary reproach? Shall the enemy blaspheme Thy name for ever?
Bondye, kilè moun k'ap pile nou anba pye yo va sispann joure? Gen lè lènmi yo p'ap janm gen respè pou non ou?
11 Why withdrawest Thou Thy hand, even Thy right hand? Draw it out of Thy bosom and consume them.
Poukisa ou derefize ede nou? Poukisa ou rete kanpe ap gade, de bra ou kwaze?
12 Yet God is my King of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth.
Men, Bondye, se ou ki wa nou depi nan tan lontan. Ou fè nou genyen anpil batay sou latè.
13 Thou didst break the sea in pieces by Thy strength; Thou didst shatter the heads of the sea-monsters in the waters.
Se avèk pouvwa ou ou te fann lanmè a. Se avè l' ou te kraze tèt gwo bèt lanmè yo.
14 Thou didst crush the heads of leviathan, Thou gavest him to be food to the folk inhabiting the wilderness.
Se ou ki kraze tèt levyatan an, lèfini, ou fè bèt k'ap viv nan dezè a manje l'.
15 Thou didst cleave fountain and brook; Thou driedst up ever-flowing rivers.
Ou te fè sous dlo pete, ou fè larivyè koule. Ou fe gwo larivyè rete konsa yo chèch.
16 Thine is the day, Thine also the night; Thou hast established luminary and sun.
Ou fè lajounen, ou fè lannwit. Se ou ki mete lalin lan ak solèy la nan plas yo.
17 Thou hast set all the borders of the earth; Thou hast made summer and winter.
Se ou ki fikse limit tè a. Se ou ki fè sezon chalè ak sezon fredi.
18 Remember this, how the enemy hath reproached the LORD, and how a base people have blasphemed Thy name.
Seyè, pa bliye jan lènmi ou yo ap pase ou nan rizib. Se yon bann moun san konprann ki pa gen respè pou non ou!
19 O deliver not the soul of Thy turtle-dove unto the wild beast; forget not the life of Thy poor for ever.
Pa lage pèp ou nan men lènmi l' yo tankou toutrèl devan malfini. Pa bliye moun pa ou yo ki nan mizè nèt.
20 Look upon the covenant; for the dark places of the land are full of the habitations of violence.
Chonje kontra ou te siyen avèk yo a! Paske, nan tout ti kwen peyi a, nan tout mòn yo se ansasen.
21 O let not the oppressed turn back in confusion; let the poor and needy praise Thy name.
Pa kite moun y'ap peze yo wont! Fè pou pòv malere yo ka fè lwanj ou.
22 Arise, O God, plead Thine own cause; remember Thy reproach all the day at the hand of the base man.
Leve non, Bondye! Defann kòz ou! Pa bliye jan moun fou sa yo ap joure ou tout lajounen!
23 Forget not the voice of Thine adversaries, the tumult of those that rise up against Thee which ascendeth continually.
Pa bliye jan lènmi ou yo ap rele byen fò! Pa bliye jan moun ki pa vle wè ou yo ap fè eskandal san rete.
