Psalms 27
1 BY DAVID. YHWH [is] my light and my salvation, Whom do I fear? YHWH [is] the strength of my life, Of whom am I afraid?
Se yon sòm David. Seyè a se limyè mwen, se li ki delivrans mwen. Ki moun ki ka fè m' pè? Se Seyè a k'ap pwoteje mwen. Ki moun ki ka fè m' tranble?
2 When evildoers come near to me to eat my flesh, My adversaries and my enemies to me, They have stumbled and fallen.
Lè mechan yo ap mache sou mwen, lè lènmi m' yo ap chache touye m', se yo menm k'ap bite, se yo menm k'ap tonbe.
3 Though a host encamps against me, My heart does not fear, Though war rises up against me, In this I [am] confident.
Menm si tout yon lame ta sènen m' toupatou, mwen p'ap pè anyen. Menm si yo ta vle fè m' lagè, m'ap toujou gen konfyans nan Bondye.
4 One [thing] I asked of YHWH—it I seek: My dwelling in the house of YHWH, All the days of my life, To look on the pleasantness of YHWH, And to inquire in His temple.
Mwen mande Seyè a yon bagay, yon bagay mwen anvi anpil anpil: Se pou m' ta pase tout lavi m' nan kay Seyè a, pou m' ka gade bèl bagay li yo byen, pou m' ka pran tan m' pou m' kalkile nan kay ki apa pou li a.
5 For He hides me in a dwelling place in the day of evil, He hides me in a secret place of His tent, He raises me up on a rock.
Jou malè tonbe sou mwen, l'a pwoteje m' lakay li. L'a kache m' byen fon nan tanp li a. L'a leve m' mete yon kote pou anyen pa rive m'.
6 And now my head is lifted up, Above my enemies—my surrounders, And I sacrifice in His tent sacrifices of shouting, I sing, indeed, I sing praise to YHWH.
Se konsa m'ap genyen batay la sou tout lènmi k'ap sènen m' yo. M'a bat tanbou, m'a ofri bèt pou touye bay Bondye nan tanp li a. M'a chante, m'a fè lwanj Seyè a.
7 Hear, O YHWH, my voice—I call, And favor me, and answer me.
Seyè, tande m' non lè m'ap rele ou! Gen pitye pou mwen, reponn mwen non!
8 My heart said to You, “They sought my face, Your face, O YHWH, I seek.”
Ou pale nan kè m', ou di m' vin jwenn ou. M'ap vin jwenn ou, Seyè.
9 Do not hide Your face from me, Do not turn Your servant aside in anger, You have been my help. Do not leave me, nor forsake me, O God of my salvation.
Pa vire do ban mwen. Pa fache, pa repouse moun k'ap sèvi ou la. Se ou ki tout sekou mwen. Pa kite m' pou kont mwen, pa lage m'.
10 When my father and my mother Have forsaken me, then YHWH gathers me.
Papa m' ak manman m' te mèt lage m', Seyè a va ranmase mwen.
11 Show me, O YHWH, Your way, And lead me in a path of uprightness, For the sake of my beholders.
Seyè, moutre m' jan ou vle m' viv la. Fè m' mache nan chemen ki pa gen move pa a, paske mwen gen anpil lènmi k'ap veye m'.
12 Do not give me to the will of my adversaries, For false witnesses have risen against me, And they breathe out violence to me.
Pa lage m' nan men lènmi m' yo. Yo soti pou yo touye m'. Se yon bann moun k'ap bay manti.
13 I had not believed to look on the goodness of YHWH In the land of the living!
Mwen menm, mwen sèten m'a viv pou m' wè jan Bondye sèvi byen ak pèp li a.
14 Look to YHWH—be strong, And He strengthens your heart, Indeed, look to YHWH!
Mete espwa ou nan Seyè a! Gen konfyans, pa dekouraje! Wi, mete espwa ou nan Seyè a!
