Psalms 41
1 TO THE OVERSEER. A PSALM OF DAVID. O the blessedness of him Who is acting wisely to the poor, In a day of evil YHWH delivers him.
Pou chèf sanba yo. Se yon sòm David. Ala bon sa bon pou moun ki pran ka pòv yo! Seyè a va delivre l' lè la nan tray.
2 YHWH preserves him and revives him, He is blessed in the land, And You do not give him into the will of his enemies.
Seyè a va pwoteje l', li p'ap kite l' mouri. L'ap fè l' viv ak kè kontan sou latè, li p'ap lage l' nan men lènmi l' yo pou yo fè sa yo vle avè l'.
3 YHWH supports [him] on a bed of sickness, You have turned his bed in his weakness.
Seyè a va ba l' fòs lè maladi fè l' pran kabann. Seyè a va ba l' gerizon lè li malad kouche.
4 I said, “O YHWH, favor me, Heal my soul, for I sinned against You,”
Mwen menm, mwen te di: Seyè, gen pitye pou mwen. Geri mwen, paske mwen te peche kont ou.
5 My enemies say evil of me: When he dies—his name has perished!
Lènmi m' yo ap pale m' mal. Y'ap di: Kilè l'a mouri? Kilè y'a bliye l'?
6 And if he came to see—he speaks vanity, His heart gathers iniquity to itself, He goes out—at the street he speaks.
Moun ki vin wè m' yo, se yon bann ipokrit. Se ranmase yo vin ranmase tout kalite move nouvèl. Soti yo soti, yo pwonmennen rakonte yo toupatou.
7 All hating me whisper together against me, Against me they devise evil to me:
Tout moun ki pa vle wè m' yo mete tèt yo ansanm pou pale nan zòrèy sou mwen. Yo kwè m' fini, nanpwen renmèd pou mwen. Y'ap fè yon pakèt vye lide sou mwen.
8 A worthless thing is poured out on him, And because he lay down he does not rise again.
Y'ap di: Msye kondannen. Kote l' kouche a, nanpwen leve pou li ankò.
9 Even my ally, in whom I trusted, One eating my bread, Made the heel great against me,
Ata pi bon zanmi m' lan, moun mwen te fè konfyans anpil la, moun ki te konn manje nan menm plat avè m' lan, ata li menm, li trayi m'.
10 And You, YHWH, favor me, And cause me to rise, And I give repayment to them.
Men ou menm, Seyè, gen pitye pou mwen. Mete m' sou de pye m' ankò, pou m' ka ba yo sa yo merite.
11 By this I have known, That You have delighted in me, Because my enemy does not shout over me.
M'a konnen ou kontan avè m' vre si m' wè lènmi m' yo pa banboche sou do m'.
12 As for me, in my integrity, You have taken hold on me, And cause me to stand before You for all time.
Wi, w'ap soutni m', paske mwen pa fè anyen ki mal. W'ap fè m' kanpe la devan ou pou tout tan.
13 Blessed [is] YHWH, God of Israel, From age to age. Amen and Amen.
Ann fè lwanj Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la. Ann fè lwanj li pou tout tan. Amèn! Se vre!
