Psalms 10
1 Why stand you far off, O LORD? why hide you yourself in times of trouble?
Poukisa Ou kanpe tèlman lwen, O Senyè? Poukisa Ou kache Ou menm nan tan twoub yo?
2 The wicked in his pride does persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.
Nan ògèy pa yo, mechan yo kouri cho dèyè aflije yo. Kite yo kenbe nan menm pèlen ke yo te fè a.
3 For the wicked boasts of his heart's desire, and blesses the covetous, whom the LORD detests.
Paske mechan a ap vin ògeye sou dezi kè li a; li beni moun voras la, e eksprime madichon pou l rejte SENYÈ a.
4 The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.
Mechan an nan wotè rega li, refize chache Bondye, Tout panse li se ke: “Nanpwen Bondye.”
5 His ways are always grievous; your judgments are far above out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffs at them.
Chemen pa li yo reyisi tout tan; Jijman Ou yo tèlman wo, li pa wè yo. Selon lènmi li yo, li giyonnen yo.
6 He has said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be in adversity.
Li di a pwòp tèt li: “Mwen p ap ebranle menm; Pandan tout jenerasyon yo, mwen p ap gen pwoblèm ditou.”
7 His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity.
Bouch li plen ak malediksyon, avèk twonpe moun avèk oprime moun. Anba lang li, se twonpe moun avèk mechanste.
8 He sits in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places does he murder the innocent: his eyes are privately set against the poor.
Li chita nan anbiskad pou veye vil yo; nan anbiskad yo, li touye inosan yo. Zye li yo veye san bat (sila) ki pa gen espwa yo.
9 He lies in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lies in wait to catch the poor: he does catch the poor, when he draws him into his net.
Li kache yon kote an kachèt tankou lyon nan nan kav li. Li kache pou kenbe aflije yo; li kenbe aflije yo lè l rale mennen yo rive nan pèlen an.
10 He crouches, and humbles himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones.
Li akwoupi, li pare kò l; konsa malere a vin tonbe pa grif pwisan li yo.
11 He has said in his heart, God has forgotten: he hides his face; he will never see it.
Li pale a tèt li: “Bondye bliye. Li kache figi Li; Li p ap janm wè sa.”
12 Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up your hand: forget not the humble.
Leve O SENYÈ! O Bondye, leve men Ou wo! Pa bliye aflije yo!
13 Wherefore does the wicked contemn God? he has said in his heart, You will not require it.
Poukisa mechan an te meprize Bondye? Li te di nan tèt li: “Ou p ap egzije m sa”.
14 You have seen it; for you behold mischief and spite, to requite it with your hand: the poor commits himself unto you; you are the helper of the fatherless.
Ou te wè sa, paske Ou te wè kont mechanste ak agase moun pou pran sa an men. Malere a ap depann de Ou menm; Se Ou ki konn ede òfelen an.
15 Break you the arm of the wicked and the evil man: seek out his wickedness till you find none.
Kase bra a mechan yo avèk malfektè a! Dekouvri mechanste li yo jiskaske Ou pa twouve l ankò.
16 The LORD is King for ever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land.
SENYÈ a se Wa a pou tout tan! Nasyon yo va peri disparèt de peyi Li a.
17 LORD, you have heard the desire of the humble: you will prepare their heart, you will cause your ear to hear:
O SENYÈ, Ou te tande dezi a enb yo; Ou va ranfòse kè yo, Ou va enkline zòrèy Ou,
18 To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more oppress.
pou bay jistis a òfelen an avèk oprime a, pou lòm ki mache sou tè a, pa koze laperèz ankò.
