Psalms 27

1 YHWH is my light and my salvation; whom shall I fear? YHWH is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid?

Yon sòm David SENYÈ a se limyè mwen e sali mwen. Se kilès pou m ta pè? SENYÈ a se defans lavi mwen. Se kilès k ap fè m gen laperèz?

2 When the wicked, even mine enemies and my foes, came upon me to eat up my flesh, they stumbled and fell.

Lè malfektè yo te rive sou mwen pou yo ta devore chè m, advèsè mwen yo ak lènmi m yo te chape tonbe.

3 Though an host should encamp against me, my heart shall not fear: though war should rise against me, in this will I be confident.

Malgre yon lame ta fè kan kont mwen, kè m p ap pè. Malgre lagè leve kont mwen, malgre sa, m ap gen konfyans.

4 One thing have I desired of YHWH, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of YHWH all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of YHWH, and to inquire in his temple.

Yon sèl bagay ke m te mande a SENYÈ a; se li mwen va chache: pou m ta kab rete lakay SENYÈ a tout jou lavi m yo, pou m kab gade bèlte SENYÈ a, e reflechi jis nan fon kè m nan tanp Li an.

5 For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.

Paske nan jou twoub la, Li va kache mwen nan tabènak Li. Nan plas sekrè kote tant Li an ye a, se la Li va fè m kache. Li va leve mwen sou yon wòch.

6 And now shall mine head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me: therefore will I offer in his tabernacle sacrifices of joy; I will sing, yea, I will sing praises unto YHWH.

Epi koulye a, tèt mwen va vin leve wo sou lènmi m ki antoure m yo. Konsa, mwen va ofri nan tant Li sakrifis avèk gwo kri lajwa. Mwen va chante, wi, mwen va chante lwanj a SENYÈ a.

7 Hear, O YHWH, when I cry with my voice: have mercy also upon me, and answer me.

Tande, O SENYÈ, lè m kriye avèk vwa m. Fè m gras e reponn mwen.

8 When thou saidst, Seek ye my face; my heart said unto thee, Thy face, YHWH, will I seek.

Lè Ou te di m: “Chache wè figi Mwen”, kè m te di Ou: “Figi Ou menm, O SENYÈ, se li mwen va chache.”

9 Hide not thy face far from me; put not thy servant away in anger: thou hast been my help; leave me not, neither forsake me, O Elohim of my salvation.

Pa kache figi Ou de mwen. Pa detounen sèvitè Ou a pa deyò nan kòlè Ou. Se Ou ki konn sekou mwen. Pa abandone mwen, ni kite m sèl, O Bondye delivrans mwen an.

10 When my father and my mother forsake me, then YHWH will take me up.

Paske papa m ak manman m te abandone mwen, Men SENYÈ a va ranmase mwen.

11 Teach me thy way, O YHWH, and lead me in a plain path, because of mine enemies.

Enstwi mwen nan chemen Ou, O SENYÈ. Mennen m nan yon wout ki a nivo, akoz lènmi mwen yo.

12 Deliver me not over unto the will of mine enemies: for false witnesses are risen up against me, and such as breathe out cruelty.

Pa livre mwen de dezi lènmi mwen yo, paske fo temwen yo vin leve kont mwen, (sila) k ap respire vyolans yo.

13 I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of YHWH in the land of the living.

Mwen toujou gen konfyans sa a: ke m va wè bonte SENYÈ a nan peyi a vivan yo.

14 Wait on YHWH: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on YHWH.

Tann SENYÈ a. Kenbe fòs Ou e kite kè Ou pran kouraj. Wi, tann SENYÈ a.
