Psalms 35
1 David’s. Contend, O Yahweh, with them who contend with me, Make war upon them who make war upon 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 Grasp buckler and shield, and arise in my help;
Pran an men boukliye ak pwotèj la, epi leve kon sekou mwen.
3 Then draw the spear, and close up against my pursuers, Say to my soul, Thy salvation, I am!
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 them be ashamed and confounded, who are seeking my life, —Let them turn back and be put to the blush, who are devising my hurt:
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, with, the messenger of Yahweh, pressing them on:
Kite yo vin tankou pay nan van, avèk zanj SENYÈ a k ap pouse yo ale.
6 Let their way become dark and slippery, with, the messenger of Yahweh, pursuing them.
Kite wout yo plen avèk tenèb e vin glisan, Avèk zanj SENYÈ a k ap kouri dèyè yo.
7 For, without cause, have they hid for me, in a ditch, their net, —Without cause, have they digged [a pit] for my life.
Paske san koz, yo te kache pèlen yo pou mwen. San koz, yo te fouye yon fòs pou nanm mwen.
8 There shall reach him a ruin he could not know, —Yea, his own net which he hath hidden, shall capture him, Into that ruin, shall he fall!
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 But, my soul, shall exult in Yahweh, —shall be glad in his salvation.
Nanm mwen va rejwi nan SENYÈ a. Li va leve wo nan delivrans Li.
10 All my bones, shall say—O Yahweh, who is like unto thee? Rescuing the oppressed from one stronger than he, Yea the oppressed and the needy, from their spoiler.
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 There rise up witnesses helping forward violence and wrong, What I know not, they demand of me:
Fo temwen sovaj yo leve. Yo mande mwen bagay ke m pa menm konnen.
12 They repay me evil for good, Bereaving 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 humbled, with fasting, my soul, though, my prayer, unto mine own bosom, might return:
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 Like as for a friend, like as for a brother of mine own, I walked to and fro, As though mourning for a mother, I gloomily bowed myself down.
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 mine overthrow, have they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together, —There gathered themselves together against me foolish men, and I knew it not, They have torn in pieces, and not been silent;
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 Amidst profane praters of perversion, have they gnashed upon me with their teeth.
Kon giyon vilgè, yo te fè konsi yo ta mòde m ak dan yo.
17 My Lord! how long wilt thou look on? Bring back my soul out of their raging, from among lions, my solitary self.
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 thank thee, in the midst of a great convocation, —In the midst of a mighty people, will I praise thee.
Mwen va bay Ou remèsiman nan gran asanble a. Mwen va bay Ou glwa pami yon gran foul.
19 Let not them who are falsely my foes rejoice over me, As for them who hate me without cause, let them not wink the eye!
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, no salvation, will they utter, —But, against the quiet of the land, deceitful things, do they devise;
Paske yo pa pale lapè, men yo divize pawòl nan twonpe (sila) ki kalm nan peyi yo.
21 Yea they have opened wide against me their mouth, They have said, Aha! Aha! our own eye, hath seen!
Yo te ouvri bouch yo laj kont mwen. Yo te di: “Men li, men li, zye nou te wè l!”
22 Thou hast seen, O Yahweh, do not keep silence! O My Lord! be not far from me:
Ou te wè sa, O SENYÈ, pa rete an silans O SENYÈ, pa rete lwen m.
23 Bestir thyself and wake up, to my vindication, O my God and My Lord!—to my plea:
Reveye Ou! Reveye Ou pou dwa m ak koz mwen, Bondye mwen ak SENYÈ mwen.
24 Vindicate me according to thy righteousness, O Yahweh, my God! And let them not rejoice over me:
Jije mwen, O SENYÈ, Bondye mwen an, selon dwati Ou. Pa kite yo rejwi sou mwen.
25 Let them not say in their heart, Aha! to our mind! Let them not 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 turn pale, and then at once blush, who are rejoicing at my misfortune, —Let them be clothed with shame and confusion, who are magnifying 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 in triumph and rejoice, who are desiring my justification; And let them say continually, Yahweh be magnified, Who hath taken pleasure in the prosperity 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 Mine own tongue also, shall softly utter thy righteousness, —All the day long, —thy praise!
Konsa, lang mwen va deklare ladwati Ou avèk lwanj Ou tout lajounen.
