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?
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 evildoers come near to me to eat my flesh, My adversaries and my enemies to me, They have stumbled and fallen.
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 a host encamps against me, My heart does not fear, Though war rises up against me, In this I [am] 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] 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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, my voice—I call, And favor me, and answer me.
Tande, O SENYÈ, lè m kriye avèk vwa m. Fè m gras e reponn mwen.
8 My heart said to You, “They sought my face, Your face, O YHWH, 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 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 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 Have forsaken me, then YHWH gathers me.
Paske papa m ak manman m te abandone mwen, Men SENYÈ 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.
Enstwi mwen nan chemen Ou, O SENYÈ. Mennen m nan yon wout ki a nivo, akoz lènmi mwen yo.
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 livre mwen de dezi lènmi mwen yo, paske fo temwen yo vin leve kont mwen, (sila) k ap respire vyolans yo.
13 I had not believed to look on 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 Look to YHWH—be strong, And He strengthens your heart, Indeed, look to YHWH!
Tann SENYÈ a. Kenbe fòs Ou e kite kè Ou pran kouraj. Wi, tann SENYÈ a.
