Psalms 18
1 To the choirmaster - of [the] servant of Yahweh of David who he spoke - to Yahweh [the] words of the song this on [the] day [when] he delivered Yahweh him from [the] hand of all enemies his and from [the] hand of Saul. And he said I love you O Yahweh strength my.
Pou chèf sanba yo. Se chante sa a David, sèvitè Seyè a, te chante pou Bondye lè Bondye te delivre l' anba Sayil ansanm ak tout lòt lènmi l' yo. Ala renmen mwen renmen ou, Seyè! Se ou menm ki tout fòs mwen.
2 Yahweh - [is] rock my and stronghold my and deliverer my God my [is] rock my [whom] I take refuge in him shield my and [the] horn of salvation my refuge my.
Se ou menm ki twou wòch kote m' kache a. Se ou menm ki sèvi m' ranpa. Se ou menm ki delivre m'. Ou se Bondye mwen, se ou menm ki pwoteje m'. Se nan ou mwen mete tout konfyans mwen. Se ou ki tout defans mwen. Se fòs ou k'ap sove m'. Se anba zèl ou mwen jwenn kote pou m' kache.
3 [the one] to be praised I call out to Yahweh and from enemies my I am delivered.
Mwen rele Seyè a: Li delivre m' anba lènmi m' yo. Lwanj pou Seyè a!
4 They encompassed me [the] cords of death and [the] torrents of worthlessness they overwhelmed me.
Lanmò te fin vlope m'. Mwen te pè lè m' wè tout malè sa yo tonbe sou mwen.
Privye lanmò te tonbe sou mwen yon sèl kou. Kote m' vire, mwen wè lanmò devan m'. (Sheol h7585)
6 When it was distress to me - I called out to Yahweh and to God my I cried for help he heard from temple his voice my and cry for help my before him - it came in ears his.
Nan mizè mwen te ye a, mwen rele nan pye Seyè a. Mwen mande Bondye m' lan sekou. Kote l' chita lakay li a, li tande vwa mwen, rèl mwen rive jouk nan zòrèy li.
7 And it shook and it quaked - the earth and [the] foundations of [the] mountains they trembled and they shook back and forth for it burned to him.
Lè sa a, latè pran tranble, li souke. Mòn yo pran tranble jouk nan rasin yo. Yon sèl frison pran yo, paske Bondye te ankòlè!
8 It went up smoke - in nose his and fire from mouth his it consumed coals they burned from him.
Lafimen t'ap soti nan twou nen li. Yon gwo flanm dife ak moso chabon tou limen t'ap soti nan bouch li.
9 And he bent down [the] heavens and he came down and thick darkness [was] under feet his.
Li bese syèl la, li desann avè yon gwo nwaj nwa anba pye li.
10 And he rode on a cherub and he flew and he soared on [the] wings of [the] wind.
Li moute sou do yon zanj cheriben, li t'ap vole. Yon kouran van t'ap pouse l' ale.
11 He made darkness - covering his around him canopy his darkness of waters dark clouds of clouds.
Li te kache kò l' nan fènwa. Yon gwo nwaj pwès, plen dlo, te vlope l' toupatou.
12 From [the] brightness before him dark clouds his they passed on hail and coals of fire.
Anpil lagrèl ak anpil chabon dife t'ap soti nan gwo limyè ki t'ap klere devan l' lan.
13 And he thundered in the heavens - Yahweh and [the] Most High he gave forth voice his hail and coals of fire.
Seyè a pran gwonde nan syèl la. Bondye ki anwo nan syèl la fè tout moun tande vwa li.
14 And he sent out arrows his and he scattered them and lightning flashes he shot and he routed them.
Li voye flèch li yo, li gaye tout lènmi m' yo. Li fè yo tout kouri ak kout zèklè.
15 And they appeared - channels of water and they were uncovered [the] foundations of [the] world from rebuke your O Yahweh from [the] breath of [the] breath of nostril[s] your.
Lè ou ankòlè, Seyè, van yo soti ak fòs nan twou nen ou. Lè konsa moun wè fon lanmè a, fondasyon tè a parèt aklè.
16 He stretched out from a high place he took hold of me he drew me from waters many.
Seyè a rete nan syèl la, li lonje men l', li pran m'. Li rale m' soti nan gwo dlo yo kote m' te ye a.
17 He rescued me from enemy my strong and from [those who] hate me for they were [too] strong for me.
Li delivre m' anba gwo lènmi m' yo, anba tout moun sa yo ki te rayi m' epi ki te pi fò pase m'.
18 They confronted me in [the] day of calamity my and he became Yahweh a support of me.
Lè m' te nan tray, yo pwofite atake m'. Men, Seyè a te soutni m'.
19 And he brought out me to roomy place he rescued me for he delighted in me.
Li wete m' nan move pa a. Li delivre m' paske li renmen mwen.
20 He has dealt with me Yahweh according to righteousness my according to [the] cleanness of hands my he has repaid to me.
Seyè a ban m' rekonpans mwen, paske li wè m' mache dwat devan li. Li ban m' benediksyon, paske li wè mwen inonsan.
21 For I have kept [the] ways of Yahweh and not I have acted wickedly from God my.
Mwen te obeyi lalwa Seyè a, mwen pa vire do bay Bondye m' lan pou m' fè sa ki mal.
22 For all judgments his [have been] to before me and statutes his not I have turned aside from me.
Mwen fè tou sa ki nan lalwa li, mwen pa janm dezobeyi kòmandman li yo.
23 And I have been blameless with him and I have kept myself from iniquity my.
Li konnen mwen pa antò. Mwen kenbe kò m' pou m' pa fè sa ki mal.
24 And he has repaid Yahweh to me according to righteousness my according to [the] cleanness of hands my to before eyes his.
Se konsa li ban m' rekonpans mwen, paske mwen mache dwat devan li, paske li wè mwen inonsan.
25 With a faithful [person] you show yourself faithful with a man blameless you show yourself blameless.
Ou menm, Seyè, ou kenbe pawòl ou ak moun ki kenbe pawòl yo. Ou bon ak moun ki bon.
26 With [one who] purifies himself you show yourself pure and with a perverse [person] you show yourself twisted.
Ou pa fè ipokrit ak moun ki pa fè ipokrit avè ou, men ou malen ak moun ki malen.
27 For you a people afflicted you save and eyes uplifted you bring low.
Ou delivre moun ki soumèt devan ou, men ou desann moun ki konprann yo pa kanmarad pesonn.
28 For you you light lamp my Yahweh God my he lightens darkness my.
Seyè, ou se limyè mwen, ou se Bondye mwen. Se ou ki wete m' nan fènwa kote m' te ye a.
29 For by you I run a marauding band and by God my I leap over a wall.
Avè ou, mwen fonse sou bann lènmi m' yo ki ame jouk nan dan. Avèk ou, mwen eskalade miray ki sèvi yo defans.
30 God [is] blameless way his [the] word of Yahweh [is] refined [is] a shield he for all - those [who] take refuge in him.
Bondye oo! Tou sa ou fè bon nèt ale. Ou toujou kenbe pawòl ou. Ou pwoteje tout moun ki chache pwoteksyon anba zèl ou.
31 For who? [is] God except Yahweh and who? [is] a rock except God our.
Ki moun ki Bondye si se pa Seyè a? Ki moun ki pran defans nou si se pa Bondye nou an?
32 God [is] the [one who] has girded me strength and he has made blameless way my.
Se Bondye ki ban m' fòs, li fè m' mennen yon vi san repwòch.
33 [he has] made Feet my like does and on high places my he has made stand firm me.
Li asire pye m' tankou pye kabrit. Li fè m' mache sou mòn yo, san m' pa tonbe.
34 [he has] trained Hands my for battle and it will stretch a bow of bronze arms my.
Li moutre m' jan pou m' goumen. Li ban m' fòs pou m' sèvi ak pi gwo banza ki genyen.
35 And you have given to me [the] shield of salvation your and right [hand] your it has supported me and humility your you have made great me.
Se ou menm, Seyè, ki pwoteje m'. Se ou ki delivre m'. Si m' kapab leve kanpe, se paske ou renmen m'. Pouvwa ou pa kite m' tonbe.
36 You have enlarged step[s] my under me and not they have slipped ankles my.
Ou pa kite yo bare wout mwen. Mwen pa janm pèdi pye.
37 I pursued enemies my and I overtook them and not I returned until destroyed them.
Mwen kouri dèyè lènmi m' yo, mwen jwenn yo. Mwen pa tounen jouk tan mwen pa fin kraze yo nèt.
38 I shattered them and not they were able [surely] to rise they fell under feet my.
Mwen jete yo atè, yo pa ka leve. Yo tonbe, mwen mete pye m' sou kou yo.
39 And you girded me strength for the battle you made bow down [those who] rose against me under me.
Ou ban m' kont fòs pou batay la. Ou fè lènmi m' yo mande m' padon.
40 And enemies my you gave to me [the] neck and [those who] hated me I destroyed them.
Ou fè lènmi m' yo kouri devan m'. Mwen disparèt tout moun ki rayi m' yo.
41 They cried for help and there not [was] a deliverer to Yahweh and not he answered them.
Y'ap rele, y'ap mande sekou. Men, pa gen moun ki ka delivre yo! Y'ap rele Seyè a, men li pa reponn yo.
42 And I crushed them like dust on [the] face of [the] wind like [the] mud of [the] streets I poured out them.
Mwen kraze yo, yo tout tounen pousyè van pote yo ale. Mwen mache sou yo tankou sou labou nan lari.
43 You delivered me from [the] strivings of a people you appointed me to [the] head of nations a people [which] not I knew they serve me.
Ou delivre m' anba pèp rebèl sa a. Ou mete m' chèf pou m' gouvènen sou tout nasyon yo. Pèp mwen pa t' janm konnen, se yo menm k'ap sèvi m'.
44 To [the] hearing of an ear they become obedient to me sons of foreignness they cringe to me.
Moun lòt peyi yo ap flate m'. Kou yo tande vwa m', yo obeyi:
45 Sons of foreignness they wither and they may come trembling from strongholds their.
Yo pèdi tout kouraj yo. Yo soti kote yo te kache a, y'ap tranble kou fèy bwa.
46 [is] living Yahweh and [be] blessed rock my and may he be exalted [the] God of salvation my.
Viv Seyè a! Lwanj pou moun ki pran defans mwen an! Se Bondye ki delivre mwen! Ann fè konnen jan li gen pouvwa!
47 God [is] the [one who] has given vengeance to me and he has subdued peoples under me.
Se Bondye ki pran revanj mwen. Se li ki mete pèp yo anba pye mwen.
48 [he has] delivered Me from enemies my also more than [those who] rose against me you have exalted me from a man of violence you have rescued me.
Li sove m' anba lènmi m' yo. Li wete m' anba men moun ki t'ap konbat mwen yo. Ou delivre m' anba ansasen yo.
49 There-fore - I will give thanks to you among the nations - O Yahweh and to name your I will sing praises.
Se poutèt sa, Seyè, m'a fè moun lòt nasyon yo konnen ki moun ou ye. M'a chante pou fè lwanj ou.
50 ([he is] making great *Q(k)*) [the] victories of King his and [he is] doing covenant loyalty - to anointed his to David and to offspring his until perpetuity.
Bondye delivre wa li a anpil fwa. Li moutre jan li pa janm sispann renmen David, moun li te chwazi a, ansanm ak pitit pitit li yo pou tout tan.
