< Psalms 35 >
1 [By David.] Contend, Jehovah, with those who contend with me. Fight against those who fight against me.
Yon Sòm David Fè fòs SENYÈ, kont (sila) k ap sèvi ak fòs kont mwen yo. Goumen ak (sila) k ap goumen kont mwen yo.
2 Take hold of shield and buckler, and stand up for my help.
Pran an men boukliye ak pwotèj la, epi leve kon sekou mwen.
3 Brandish the spear and block those who pursue me. Tell my soul, "I am your salvation."
Anplis rale lans ak rach batay la pou rankontre (sila) k ap kouri dèyè m yo. Pale ak nanm mwen “Se Mwen ki delivrans ou”!
4 Let those who seek after my soul be disappointed and brought to dishonor. Let those who plot my ruin be turned back and confounded.
Kite (sila) k ap chache lavi m yo vin wont e dezonere. Kite sa yo ki anvizaje mal pou mwen Vire do fè bak plen imiliyasyon.
5 Let them be as chaff before the wind, Jehovah's angel driving them on.
Kite yo vin tankou pay nan van, avèk zanj SENYÈ a k ap pouse yo ale.
6 Let their way be dark and slippery, Jehovah's angel pursuing them.
Kite wout yo plen avèk tenèb e vin glisan, Avèk zanj SENYÈ a k ap kouri dèyè yo.
7 For without cause they have hidden their net in a pit for me. Without cause they have dug a pit for my soul.
Paske san koz, yo te kache pèlen yo pou mwen. San koz, yo te fouye yon fòs pou nanm mwen.
8 Let destruction come on him unawares. Let his net that he has hidden catch himself. Let him fall into that destruction.
Kite l fin detwi nèt san l pa konnen. Kite pèlen ke li te prepare a, kenbe li menm. Kite l tonbe nan destriksyon sa a.
9 My soul shall be joyful in Jehovah. It shall rejoice in his salvation.
Nanm mwen va rejwi nan SENYÈ a. Li va leve wo nan delivrans Li.
10 All my bones shall say, "Jehovah, who is like you, who delivers the poor from him who is too strong for him; yes, the poor and the needy from him who robs him?"
Tout zo m menm va di: “SENYÈ, se kilès ki tankou Ou menm? Kilès ki delivre aflije yo nan men a (sila) ki twò fò pou li yo? Wi, ak aflije e malere yo k ap soti nan men a (sila) menm k ap vòlè yo?”
11 Unrighteous witnesses rise up. They ask me about things that I do not know about.
Fo temwen sovaj yo leve. Yo mande mwen bagay ke m pa menm konnen.
12 They reward me evil for good, to the bereaving of my soul.
Yo remèt mwen mal pou byen, jiskaske gwo tristès antre nan nanm mwen.
13 But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth. I afflicted my soul with fasting; and my prayer returned into my own bosom.
Men pou mwen menm, lè yo te malad, rad mwen te vin twal sak; Mwen te imilye nanm mwen nan fè jèn, epi lapriyè m te kontinye retounen nan kè m.
14 I behaved myself as though it had been my friend or my brother. I bowed down mourning, as one who mourns his mother.
Mwen te ale toupatou konsi se te zanmi mwen, oswa frè mwen. Mwen te koube ak gwo tristès, tankou yon moun ta fè dèy pou manman li.
15 But in my adversity, they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together. The attackers gathered themselves together against me, and I did not know it. They tore at me, and did not cease.
Men moman ke m te chape tonbe a, yo te rejwi, e te reyini yo ansanm. San ke mwen pa menm konnen, agresè sa yo te rasanble kont mwen. Yo t ap chire m san rete.
16 When I tripped, they mocked me relentlessly; they gnashed their teeth at me.
Kon giyon vilgè, yo te fè konsi yo ta mòde m ak dan yo.
17 Jehovah, how long will you look on? Rescue my soul from their destruction, my precious life from the lions.
SENYÈ, jiskilè Ou va kontinye gade bagay sa a konsa? Sove nanm mwen kont ravaj yo, Sèl lavi mwen genyen kont lyon yo.
18 I will give you thanks in the great assembly. I will praise you among many people.
Mwen va bay Ou remèsiman nan gran asanble a. Mwen va bay Ou glwa pami yon gran foul.
19 Do not let those who are my enemies wrongfully rejoice over me; neither let those who hate me without a cause and wink their eyes.
Pa kite (sila) ki lènmi m san koz yo, rejwi sou mwen. Ni pa kite (sila) ki rayi mwen san koz yo, fè kout zye sou mwen.
20 For they do not speak peace, but they devise deceitful words against those who are quiet in the land.
Paske yo pa pale lapè, men yo divize pawòl nan twonpe (sila) ki kalm nan peyi yo.
21 Yes, they opened their mouth wide against me. They said, "Aha. Aha. Our eye has seen it."
Yo te ouvri bouch yo laj kont mwen. Yo te di: “Men li, men li, zye nou te wè l!”
22 You have seen it, Jehovah. Do not keep silent. Jehovah, do not be far from me.
Ou te wè sa, O SENYÈ, pa rete an silans O SENYÈ, pa rete lwen m.
23 Wake up. Rise up to defend me, my God. My Lord, contend for me.
Reveye Ou! Reveye Ou pou dwa m ak koz mwen, Bondye mwen ak SENYÈ mwen.
24 Vindicate me, Jehovah my God, according to your righteousness. Do not let them gloat over me.
Jije mwen, O SENYÈ, Bondye mwen an, selon dwati Ou. Pa kite yo rejwi sou mwen.
25 Do not let them say in their heart, "Aha. Aha. Our desire." Do not let them say, "We have swallowed him up."
Pa kite yo di nan kè yo: “Men konsa, men sa nou pi pito a!” Pa kite yo di: “Nou gen tan fin vale li nèt!”
26 Let them be put to shame and confounded together who rejoice at my calamity. Let them be clothed with shame and dishonor who magnify themselves against me.
Kite (sila) ki rejwi nan gwo twoub mwen yo wont. Kite (sila) ki leve yo menm sou mwen yo vin abiye ak wont avèk imilyasyon.
27 Let them shout for joy and be glad, who favor my righteous cause. And let them say continually, "Jehovah be magnified, who delights in the peace of his servant."
Kite (sila) ki vle wè kòz dwat mwen yo rele avèk jwa e rejwi. Kite yo di tout tan: “Leve SENYÈ a wo, Li ki pran plezi lè sèvitè li byen reyisi.”
28 My tongue shall talk about your righteousness and about your praise all day long.
Konsa, lang mwen va deklare ladwati Ou avèk lwanj Ou tout lajounen.
