Lamentations 3
1 I [am] the man [who] he has seen affliction by [the] rod of fury his.
Mwen se moun ki te wè afliksyon akoz baton kòlè Li a.
2 Me he has driven and he has made walk darkness and not light.
Li te mennen mwen, e te fè m mache nan tenèb, pa nan limyè.
3 Surely on me he returned he turned hand his all the day.
Anverite, li te vire men L kont mwen plizyè fwa, tout jounen an.
4 He has made to waste away flesh my and skin my he has broken bones my.
Li te fè chè m ak po m vin epwize sòti sou mwen, Li te kase zo m yo.
5 He has built on me and he has surrounded [me] poison and hardship.
Li te jennen mwen e te antoure m ak ametim ak difikilte.
6 In dark places he has caused to dwell me like dead people of antiquity.
Nan kote ki fènwa, li te fè m abite, tankou sila ki fin mouri lontan yo.
7 He has walled up behind me and not I will go out he has made heavy bronze fetter[s] my.
Li te antoure m anndan pou m pa ka sòti. Li te fè chenn mwen an byen lou.
8 Also if I will cry out and I may cry for help he has shut out prayer my.
Menm lè m kriye e rele sekou, Li fèmen lapriyè m deyò.
9 He has walled up ways my with hewn [stone] paths my he has made crooked.
Li te bloke wout mwen yo ak wòch taye. Li te fè chemen mwen yo vin kwochi.
10 [is] a bear Lying in wait he to me (a lion *Q(K)*) in hiding places.
Li pou mwen tankou yon lous ki kouche ap tann, tankou yon lyon nan kote an kachèt.
11 Ways my he has caused to deviate and he has torn in pieces me he has made me desolate.
Li te detounen tout chemen mwen yo e Li te chire mwen an mòso; Li te fè m vin dezole nèt.
12 He has bent (bow his *L(abh)*) and he has set up me like target for arrow.
Li te koube banza Li, e Li te chwazi m kon pwen final pou flèch Li.
13 He has brought in kidneys my [the] sons of quiver his.
Li te fè flèch nan fouwo L yo antre nan ren mwen.
14 I have become a laughingstock to all people my taunt song their all the day.
Mwen te vin yon rizib pou tout pèp mwen an, chante giyonnen yo sonnen tout lajounen.
15 He has surfeited me with bitter things he has made drink me wormwood.
Li te plen mwen ak anmetim. Li te fè m sou ak dlo absent.
16 And he has broken with gravel teeth my he has made cower me in ash[es].
Li te kase dan m ak gravye. Li fè m kache nan pousyè.
17 And it has excluded from peace self my I have forgotten good.
Nanm mwen p ap jwenn lapè ankò. Bonè vin bliye pou mwen.
18 And I said it has perished endurance my and hope my from Yahweh.
Konsa mwen di: “Fòs mwen fin peri, ansanm ak espwa m ki sòti nan SENYÈ a.”
19 Remember affliction my and homelessness my wormwood and poison.
Sonje soufrans mwen ak mizè mwen an; dlo absent ak anmetim ki nan kè m nan.
20 Continually it remembers (so it may bow down *Q(K)*) on me self my.
Anverite, nanm mwen sonje yo. Li vin koube anndan mwen.
21 This I bring back to heart my there-fore I will wait.
Men sa mwen sonje nan tèt mwen; pou sa, mwen gen espwa.
22 [the] covenant loyalti of Yahweh for not we have met our end for not they come to an end compassion his.
Lamou dous SENYÈ a, anvèrite, p ap janm sispann, paske mizerikòd Li p ap janm manke.
23 [they are] new To the mornings [is] great faithfulness your.
Yo renouvle chak maten. Gran se fidelite Ou.
24 [is] portion My Yahweh it has said self my there-fore I will wait for him.
“SENYÈ a se pòsyon mwen.” Se sa nanm mwen di m. Konsa, mwen mete espwa m nan Li.
25 [is] good Yahweh (to [those who] wait for him *Q(K)*) to anyone [who] it will seek him.
SENYÈ a montre dousè Li a sila ki tann Li yo, a moun ki chache Li a.
26 [is] good And waiting and silently for [the] salvation of Yahweh.
Se bon pou yon nonm gen espwa, e tann byen trankil pou sali SENYÈ a.
27 [is] good For man that he will bear a yoke in youth his.
Se bon pou yon nonm pote jouk la nan jenès li.
28 Let him sit alone and let him be silent for he has laid [it] on him.
Kite li chita apa pou kont li, e rete an silans, akoz Li te poze sa sou li.
29 Let him put in the dust mouth his perhaps there [is] hope.
Kite li mete bouch li nan pousyè, si se konsa, pou l ka gen espwa.
30 Let him give to [the] [one who] strikes him a cheek let him be sated with reproach.
Kite li lonje machwè li, bay sila k ap frape l la. Kite li ranpli ak repwòch.
31 For not he will reject for ever [the] Lord.
Paske se pa pou tout tan ke Senyè a ap rejte.
32 That except he has caused grief and he will have compassion according to [the] greatness of (covenant loyalti his. *Q(K)*)
Paske malgre se gwo doulè ke Li fè rive; alò, Li va gen mizerikòd selon gran lanmou dous Li a.
33 For not he has afflicted from heart his and he has grieved ([the] children of *L(abh)*) a man.
Paske se pa ak kè kontan ke Li aflije, oswa pou atriste fis a lòm yo.
34 To crush under feet his all [the] prisoners of [the] land.
Pou kraze anba pye, tout prizonye nan mond la,
35 To turn aside [the] justice of a man before [the] presence of [the] Most High.
pou retire jistis sou yon nonm nan prezans a Pi Wo a,
36 To subvert anyone in case at law his [the] Lord not he has seen.
pou fè yon nonm tò nan pwosè legal pa li, sou bagay sa yo, Senyè a p ap dakò.
37 Who? this has he spoken and it was [the] Lord not he commanded [it].
Se kilès li ye ki pale, e sa vin rive, amwenske Senyè a te pase lòd la?
38 From [the] mouth of [the] Most High not does it goes forth? the troubles and the good.
Èske sa ki bon ak sa ki mal pa soti nan bouch a Pi Wo a?
39 Why? will he complain a person living a man on (sins his. *Q(K)*)
Poukisa yon nonm vivan dwe plenyen, yon nonmta plenyen lè l resevwa pinisyon pou pwòp peche l yo?

Annou egzamine e sonde wout nou yo pou nou retounen kote SENYÈ a.
41 Let us lift up heart our to palms to God in the heavens.

Zye m koule nèt ak flèv dlo akoz destriksyon a fi a pèp mwen an.
49 Eye my it has poured itself and not it will cease from not stop.
Zye m koule san sès, san rete menm pou yon ti moman,
50 Until he will look down and he will see Yahweh from heaven.
jiskaske SENYÈ a gade anba soti nan wotè syèl la pou wè.
51 Eye my it has dealt severely to self my from all [the] daughters of city my.
Zye m pote doulè rive nan nanm mwen, akoz tout fi nan vil mwen.
52 Certainly they hunted me like bird enemies my without cause.
Lènmi m yo san koz te fè lachas dèyè m tankou zwazo. Se lènmi m san koz.
53 They destroyed in the pit life my and they threw down a stone on me.
Yo te fè m rete an silans nan twou fòs la e te poze yon wòch sou mwen.
54 They overflowed waters over head my I said I have been cut off.

Mwen te rele non Ou, O SENYÈ, depi nan twou fòs pi ba a.
56 Voice my you heard may not you hide ear your to relief my to cry for help my.

57 You drew near on [the] day [when] I called on you you said may not you fear.
Ou te vin rapwoche lè m te rele Ou a. Ou te di: “Pa pè!”
58 You have conducted O Lord [the] cases of self my you have redeemed life my.
O Senyè, Ou te plede ka pou nanm mwen an. Ou te rachte lavi mwen.
59 You have seen O Yahweh oppression my judge! judgment my.
O SENYÈ, Ou te wè jan m oprime. Jije ka m nan.
60 You have seen all vengeance their all plans their to me.
Ou te wè tout vanjans pa yo; tout manèv yo kont mwen.
61 You have heard reproach their O Yahweh all plans their on me.
Ou te tande repwòch yo, O SENYÈ, tout manèv yo kont mwen.

Lèv a sila k ap atake m yo ak konplo yo kont mwen tout lajounen.
63 Sitting their and rising their look at! I [am] mocking song their.

64 You will repay to them recompense O Yahweh according to [the] work of hands their.
