Psalms 35
1 [A Psalm] of David. Judge you, O Lord, them that injure me, fight against them that fight against me.
Se yon sòm David. Seyè, atake moun ki pa vle wè m' yo, goumen ak moun k'ap fè m' lagè yo.
2 Take hold of shield and buckler, and arise for my help.
Pran zam ou sèvi pou pare kou a, leve non, vin pote m' sekou.
3 Bring forth a sword, and stop [the way] against them that persecute me: say to my soul, I am your salvation.
Pran fwenn ou, pran rach ou. Atake moun k'ap pousib mwen yo. Fè m' konnen se ou menm k'ap delivre m'.
4 Let them that seek my soul be ashamed and confounded: let them that devise evils against me be turned back and put to shame.
Se pou moun k'ap chache touye m' yo sezi, se pou yo wont. Se pou moun k'ap fè konplo sou mwen yo rale kò yo dèyè. Se pou yo pa ka leve tèt yo.
5 Let them be as dust before the wind, and an angel of the Lord afflicting them.
Se pou yo tankou pay van ap pote ale, lè zanj Bondye a ap kouri dèyè yo.
6 Let their way be dark and slippery, and an angel of the Lord persecuting them.
Se pou fènwa bare wout yo, pou chemen an glise anba pye yo, lè zanj Bondye a ap talonnen yo.
7 For without cause they have hid for me their destructive snare: without a cause they have reproached my soul.
San m' pa fè yo anyen, y'ap tann pèlen pou mwen. San m' pa fè yo anyen, y'ap fouye yon twou byen fon pou m' ka tonbe ladan l'.
8 Let a snare which they know not come upon them; and the gin which they hid take them; and let them fall into the very same snare.
Men, y'ap rete konsa, malè ap tonbe sou yo, y'ap pran nan pèlen yo te tann lan, y'ap tonbe nan twou yo te fouye a.
9 But my soul shall exult in the Lord: it shall delight in his salvation.
Se konsa Seyè a pral fè kè m' kontan, m'ap kontan anpil, paske li delivre mwen.
10 All my bones shall say, O Lord, who is like to you? delivering the poor out of the hand of them that are stronger than he, yes, the poor and needy one from them that spoil him.
M'a di ak tout kè mwen: -Seyè, pa gen tankou ou! Ou delivre fèb yo anba moun ki gen fòs pase yo. Ou delivre pòv yo ak malere yo anba moun k'ap piye yo.
11 Unjust witnesses arose, and asked me of things I new not.
Gen moun k'ap kanpe bay manti sou mwen. Yo di mwen fè yon pakèt bagay mwen pa janm konnen mwen fè.
12 They rewarded me evil for good, and bereavement to my soul.
Moun mwen fè byen se yo k'ap fè m' mal. Mwen fin dekouraje.
13 But I, when they troubled me, put on sackcloth, and humbled my soul with fasting: and my prayer shall return to my [own] bosom.
Lè yo te malad, mwen te pran gwo lapenn pou yo, mwen rete san manje. Mwen bese tèt mwen pou mwen lapriyè pou yo,
14 I behaved agreeably towards them as [if it had been] our neighbor [or] brother: I humbled myself as one mourning and sad of countenance.
menm jan mwen ta lapriyè pou yon zanmi osinon pou yon frè. M'ap mache do ba ak gwo lapenn nan kè m', tankou yon moun ki pèdi manman l'.
15 Yet they rejoiced against me, and plagues were plentifully brought against me, and I knew [it] not: they were scattered, but repented not.
Men, lè mwen menm mwen nan tray, yo tout yo kontan, yo mete tèt yo ansanm. Y'ap fè pil dèyè do m' pou bay manti sou mwen. Y'ap kale do m' san pran souf.
16 They tempted me, they sneered at me most contemptuously, they gnashed their teeth upon me.
Yo atake m', yo pase m' nan betiz. Y'ap gade m', y'ap griyen dan sou mwen.
17 O Lord, when will you look upon me? Deliver my soul from their mischief, mine only-begotten one from the lions.
Seyè, pou konbe tan ankò w'a penmèt sa? Pwoteje m' non anba bèt sovaj sa yo. Sove m' anba lyon sa yo.
18 I will give thanks to you even in a great congregation: in an abundant people I will praise you.
M'a di ou mèsi nan mitan tout moun lè yo reyini, m'a fè lwanj ou devan yon gwo foul moun.
19 Let not them that are mine enemies without a cause rejoice against me; who hate me for nothing, and wink with their eyes.
Pa kite lènmi m' yo, bann mantò sa yo, fè fèt sou tèt mwen. Pa kite moun sa yo ki rayi m' san m' pa fè yo anyen an fè siy sou mwen.
20 For to me they spoke peaceably, but imagined deceits in [their] anger.
Yo pale tankou moun k'ap chache kont. Y'ap kalkile tout kalite manti pou yo fè sou moun ki pa nan kont ak pesonn nan peyi a.
21 And they opened wide their mouth upon me; they said Aha, aha, our eyes have seen [it].
Yo louvri bouch yo byen laj pou bay manti sou mwen. Y'ap di: -Wi! Nou te wè ou!
22 You have seen [it], O Lord: keep not silence: O Lord, withdraw not [yourself] from me.
Men ou menm, Seyè, ou wè tout bagay. Pa rete san ou pa di anyen nan sa, Seyè! Pa rete lwen m' konsa.
23 Awake, O Lord, and attend to my judgment, [even] to my cause, my God and my Lord.
Leve non, Seyè, vin pran defans mwen! Leve non, Bondye mwen, vin plede kòz mwen!
24 Judge me, O Lord, according to your righteousness, O Lord my God; and let them not rejoice against me.
Ou pa nan patipri, Seyè. Fè m' jistis. Pa kite lènmi m' yo fè fèt sou tèt mwen.
25 Let them not say in their hearts, Aha, aha, [it is pleasing] to our soul: neither let them say, We have devoured him.
Pa kite yo di nan kè yo: -Wi! se sa menm nou te vle rive li! Pa kite yo di: -Nou fini avè l'!
26 Let them be confounded and ashamed together that rejoice at my afflictions: let them be clothed with shame and confusion that speak great swelling words against me.
Tout moun ki kontan wè jan m'ap soufri a, se pou yo wont jouk yo pa konn sa pou yo fè. Se pou moun k'ap gonfle lestonmak yo sou mwen pèdi fil, se pou yo kouri al kache!
27 Let them that rejoice in my righteousness exult and be glad: and let them say continually, The Lord be magnified, who desire the peace of his servant.
Se pou moun ki kontan wè jan m' inonsan an pran rele byen fò san rete. Se pou yo di: -Seyè a gen gwo pouvwa! Li vle pou sèvitè li viv ak kè poze.
28 And my tongue shall meditate on your righteousness, [and] on your praise all the day.
Lè sa a, m'a fè konnen jistis ou, m'a fè lwanj ou tout lajounen.
