Psalms 88
1 A Song, a Melody. For the Sons of Korah. To the Chief Musician. On "Mahalath." For alternate Song. An Instructive Psalm. By Heman the Ezrahite. O Yahweh, God of my salvation, By day, have I made outcry, In the night, [also] before thee.
Chante sa a se yon sòm pitit Kore yo. Pou chèf sanba yo. Fè yo chante ansanm tankou timoun lekòl. Se chante Eman, moun lavil Ezra. Seyè, Bondye, se ou menm ki delivrans mwen! Lajounen kou lannwit m'ap rele nan pye ou!
2 Let my prayer, come into thy presence, Bow down thine ear to my loud cry.
Se pou lapriyè m' rive nan zòrèy ou. Koute byen sa m'ap mande ou.
Anpil malè tonbe sou mwen, mwen pa kapab ankò. Mwen prèt pou mouri. (Sheol h7585)
4 I am counted with them who descend into the pit, I have become as a man that is without help;
Mwen tankou moun ki sou dènye souf li, tankou moun ki pa gen fòs ankò.
5 Among the dead, is my couch, —Like the slain that lie in the grave, Where thou rememberest them no more, Yea, they, from thy hand, are cut off;
Mwen tonbe atè tankou yon moun mouri, tankou yon moun yo touye ki kouche nan simityè. Wi, tankou yon moun ou bliye nèt, tankou yon moun ou pa ka fè anyen ankò pou li.
6 Thou hast laid me, In the lowest pit, In dark places, In the deeps:
Ou voye m' jete nan yon gwo twou byen fon, kote ki fè nwa anpil, nan yon twou san fon.
7 Upon me, hath rested thine indignation, And, with all thy breakers, hast thou caused affliction. (Selah)
Mwen santi ou ankòlè anpil sou mwen. Se kraze w'ap kraze m' anba men ou.
8 Thou hast far removed mine acquaintances from me, —Thou hast made me an abomination unto them, Shut up, and I cannot go forth!
Ou fè tout zanmi m' yo lage m'. Yo yonn pa ka santi m' bò kote yo! Mwen fèmen yon kote mwen pa ka soti.
9 Mine eye, hath dimmed through affliction; I have called upon thee, O Yahweh, all day long, I have spread out, unto thee, my hands.
Je m' ap boule m' tèlman m'ap soufri. Seyè, se chak jou m'ap rele ou, m'ap louvri de bra m' ba ou!
10 For the dead, wilt thou perform a wonder? Or shall, the shades, arising, give thee thanks? (Selah)
Eske se pou moun mouri ou fè mirak? Eske mò ka leve pou fè lwanj ou?
11 Shall Thy lovingkindness be recounted in the grave? Thy faithfulness, in destruction?
Eske moun ki anba tè ka fè konnen jan ou renmen nou? Eske moun ki nan twou san fon an ka fè konnen jan ou toujou kenbe pawòl ou?
12 Shall any wonder of thine, be known in the dark? Or, thy righteousness, in the land of forgetfulness?
Eske moun ki nan fènwa a ka wè mèvèy ou yo? Eske moun ki nan peyi kote yo bliye tout bagay la ka wè jan ou bon!
13 But, I, unto thee, O Yahweh, have cried for help, And, in the morning, my prayer will confront thee!
Seyè, m'ap rele ou vin ede mwen. Se chak maten m'ap lapriyè nan pye ou.
14 Wherefore, O Yahweh, shouldst thou reject my soul? shouldst thou hide thy face from me?
Seyè, poukisa ou voye m' jete lwen ou konsa? Poukisa ou kache figi ou pou mwen?
15 Afflicted have I been, and dying, from youth, I have borne the terror of thee—I shall be distracted!
Depi mwen jenn gason se soufri m'ap soufri, m'ap pase ra lanmò. Ou sitèlman pini mwen, mwen pa konn sa pou m' fè ankò.
16 Over me, have passed thy bursts of burning anger, The alarms of thee have put an end to me;
Nan kòlè ou, ou fè m' pase kont tray mwen. Se fini ou fini avè m' tèlman ou pini m'.
17 They have surrounded me like waters, all the day, They have come circling against me together:
Tout lajounen ou sènen m' tankou dlo inondasyon, ou fèmen m' toupatou.
18 Thou hast far removed from me, lover and friend, Mine acquaintances, are in darkness.
Ou te fè tout kanmarad mwen yo ak zanmi m' yo vire do ban mwen. Moun mwen te konn rakonte ti koze m' yo disparèt.
