Psalms 5
1 Yahweh, listen to me while I pray! Pay attention to me when I am groaning [because I am suffering very much].
Pou chèf sanba yo. Se sou enstriman yo rele fif pou yo jwe mizik la. Se yon sòm David. Koute sa m'ap di ou, Seyè! Tande jan m'ap plenn!
2 You are my King and my God. When I call to you to ask you to help me, listen to me, because you are the one to whom I pray.
Se ou ki wa mwen, se ou ki Bondye mwen. Pran ka m', Seyè, lè m'ap rele ou! Se ou menm m'ap lapriyè, Seyè.
3 Listen to me when I pray to you [each] morning, and I wait for you to reply.
Chak maten ou tande vwa m'. Kou solèy leve, mwen mete lapriyè m' devan ou. M'ap tann ou reponn mwen.
4 You are not a god who is pleased with wicked people; you do not (associate with/invite into your house) [those who do what is] evil.
Ou se yon Bondye ki pa pran plezi nan bagay ki mal. Ou pa tolere mechan yo bò kote ou.
5 You do not allow those who are very proud to come to you to worship you. You hate all those who do evil things.
Moun k'ap vante tèt yo pa ka kanpe devan ou. Ou pa vle wè moun k'ap fè mechanste.
6 You get rid of liars, and you despise those who murder [others] and those who deceive [others].
Ou detwi tout moun k'ap bay manti. Ou pa ka sipòte moun k'ap touye moun, ni moun k'ap twonpe moun.
7 Yahweh, because you love me so much and so faithfully, I come into your temple. I revere you greatly, and I bow down to worship you at your sacred temple.
Men mwen menm, m'a antre lakay ou, paske ou renmen m' anpil. M'ap lage kò m' nan pye ou, nan kay ki apa pou ou a. M'ap adore ou.
8 Yahweh, because you act righteously toward me, show me what is right for me to do. Because I have many enemies, show me clearly what you want me to do.
Seyè, mwen gen anpil lènmi k'ap veye m'. Pran men m' pou m' ka fè sa ki dwat devan ou. Fè m' wè chemen ou mete devan m' lan, fè m' wè l' aklè.
9 My enemies never say what is true; they just want to destroy [others]. The things that they say [MTY] are [as foul as] an open grave [where a corpse is decaying]. They use their tongues to tell lies.
Ou pa janm ka kwè moun sa yo. Se dèyè yon sèl bagay yo ye: yo vle fini ak tout moun. Anndan bouch yo, ou ta di yon kavo ki louvri, lang yo menm dous konsa pou flate moun.
10 O God, declare that they are guilty [MTY] [and punish them]. Cause them to experience the same disasters/troubles that they plan to cause to happen to others. Get rid of them because they have committed many sins, and they have rebelled against you.
Se mechan yo ye. Kondannen yo, Bondye. Gate tout plan yo te fè. Pou valè peche yo fè, wete yo devan jè ou. paske se kenbe y'ap kenbe tèt ak ou.
11 But cause that all those who go to you to be protected will rejoice; cause them to sing joyfully to you forever. Protect those who love you [MTY]; they are truly happy because (of what you [do for them/they belong to] you).
Men, tout moun ki mete konfyans yo nan ou, fè kè yo kontan. Se pou yo chante san rete tèlman yo kontan. W'ap pwoteje moun ki renmen ou. Ou fè yo chante pou ou tèlman yo kontan.
12 Yahweh, you always bless those who act righteously; you protect them like a [soldier is protected by his] shield [SIM].
Paske ou menm Seyè, ou beni moun ki obeyi ou. Ou kouvri yo avèk favè ou, w'ap kanpe bò kote yo pou pran defans yo.
