< Psalms 80 >
1 Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, you that lead Joseph like a flock; you that dwell between the cherubims, shine forth.
Pou chèf sanba yo. Se pou yo chante l' sou menm lè ak chante ki di: Bèl ti flè savann blan yo. Se pou yo jwe mizik la sou enstriman akòd. Se yon sòm Asaf. Ou menm ki gadò pèp Izrayèl la, ou menm k'ap mennen pitit pitit Jozèf yo tankou bann mouton ou, panche zòrèy ou pou koute nou. Ou menm ki chita sou fotèy ou anwo zanj cheriben yo, parèt nan mitan gwo limyè ou la.
2 Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh stir up your strength, and come and save us.
Fè pitit Efrayim, pitit Benjamen ansanm ak pitit Manase yo wè jan ou gen pouvwa. vin delivre nou.
3 Turn us again, O God, and cause your face to shine; and we shall be saved.
Bondye, mete nou sou pye nou ankò! Fè nou santi ou la avèk nou, epi n'a delivre.
4 O LORD God of hosts, how long will you be angry against the prayer of your people?
Seyè, Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a, jouk kilè w'a rete fache sou pèp ou k'ap lapriyè nan pye ou?
5 You feed them with the bread of tears; and give them tears to drink in great measure.
Ou ba yo dlo k'ap koule sot nan je yo pou sèvi yo manje. Ou ba yo gwo gode plen dlo k'ap soti nan je yo pou yo bwè.
6 You make us a strife unto our neighbours: and our enemies laugh among themselves.
Ou kite nasyon ki bò kote nou yo ap goumen yonn ak lòt poutèt nou. Ou kite lènmi nou yo ap pase nou nan rizib.
7 Turn us again, O God of hosts, and cause your face to shine; and we shall be saved.
Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa, mete nou sou pye nou ankò. Fè nou santi ou la avèk nou, epi n'a delivre.
8 You have brought a vine out of Egypt: you have cast out the heathen, and planted it.
Ou rache yon pye rezen nan peyi Lejip, ou mete anpil nasyon deyò, ou plante l' nan plas yo.
9 You prepared room before it, and did cause it to take deep root, and it filled the land.
Ou pare yon moso tè kote pou l' te grandi. Li pouse gwo rasin byen fon, branch li yo kouvri tout peyi a.
10 The hills were covered with the shadow of it, and the boughs thereof were like the goodly cedars.
Lonbraj li te kouvri tout mòn yo, branch li yo kouvri tout gwo pye sèd yo.
11 She sent out her boughs unto the sea, and her branches unto the river.
Branch li yo rive jouk bò lanmè Mediterane, jouk bò larivyè Lefrat.
12 Why have you then broken down her hedges, so that all they which pass by the way do pluck her?
Poukisa ou lage lantouraj li yo atè konsa, kifè koulye a nenpòt moun k'ap pase vin vòlè rezen li yo?
13 The boar out of the wood does waste it, and the wild beast of the field does devour it.
Kochon mawon fin raboure rasin li yo, bèt nan bwa ap manje tout fèy li yo.
14 Return, we plead to you, O God of hosts: look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine;
Bondye, ou menm ki gen tout pouvwa, tounen vin jwenn nou non! Kote ou ye nan syèl la, gade sak rive nou! Pran ka pye rezen ou lan non!
15 And the vineyard which your right hand has planted, and the branch that you made strong for yourself.
vin sove pye rezen ou menm ou te plante a, ti pye rezen ou fè tounen yon gwo pyebwa a.
16 It is burned with fire, it is cut down: they perish at the rebuke of your countenance.
Lènmi nou yo mete dife ladan l', yo koupe tout branch li yo. Fè kòlè! Annik gade yo, y'a peri!
17 Let your hand be upon the man of your right hand, upon the son of man whom you made strong for yourself.
Pwoteje peyi ou te fè tounen yon gwo peyi a! Pwoteje pèp ou te chwazi a!
18 So will not we go back from you: quicken us, and we will call upon your name.
Nou p'ap janm vire do ba ou ankò! Ban nou lavi ankò! N'a fè lwanj ou!
19 Turn us again, O LORD God of hosts, cause your face to shine; and we shall be saved.
Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a, mete nou sou pye nou ankò! Fè nou santi ou la avèk nou, epi n'a delivre!
