Psalms 52
1 You people [think that you] are strong and brag about the sins that you have committed, while you plan to harm godly people.
Pou chèf sanba yo. Se yon chante David te ekri lè Doèg, moun peyi Edon, te al pote rapò bay Sayil pou fè l' konnen David te al kache lakay Akimelèk. Poukisa, ou menm gwo chèf, w'ap vante tèt ou konsa lè ou fè sa ki mal! renmen Bondye a pa janm chanje.
2 All during the day you plan to get rid of [others]; what you say [MTY] [injures others] like a sharp razor [SIM], and you are [always] deceiving [others].
W'ap kalkile ki jan pou fè moun mal. Lang ou tankou yon razwa byen file, ou toujou ap fè manti sou moun.
3 You like [doing what is] evil more than you like doing what is good, and you like telling lies more than you like telling the truth.
Ou pito fè mal pase pou ou fè byen. Ou pito bay manti pase ou di verite.
4 You who say things [MTY] to deceive people, you like to say (things that hurt people/cruel things)!
Ou renmen di pawòl ki pou fè moun mal, lang vipè!
5 But God will get rid of you forever; he will grab you and drag you from your home and take you away from this world where people are alive.
Se poutèt sa, Bondye gen pou fini nèt avè ou, l'ap mete men sou ou, l'ap rale ou soti anndan kay ou. L'ap wete ou nan mitan moun ki vivan yo.
6 When righteous [people] see that, they will be awestruck, and they will laugh at [what happened to] you, and say,
Moun k'ap mache dwat yo va wè sa, y'a gen krentif pou Bondye. Men y'a pase ou nan betiz, y'a di:
7 “Look [what happened to] the man who would not ask God to protect him; he trusted that his great wealth [would save him]; he trusted in the money that he got by wickedly taking it from others!”
Men moun ki te derefize chache pwoteksyon bò kot Bondye a. Li te pito mete tout konfyans li nan gwo richès li yo. Li te pito ap fè grandizè pou sa li fè ki mal.
8 But I am [secure/safe because I worship] in God’s temple; I am like a [strong] green olive tree. I trust in God, who faithfully loves us forever.
Men, mwen tankou yon bèl pye oliv tou vèt nan kay Bondye a. M'ap toujou mete tout konfyans mwen nan li, paske li p'ap janm sispann renmen mwen.
9 God, I will always thank you for the things that you have done. As I stand before godly [people], I will proclaim that you are good (OR, the many good [MTY] [things you have done for us]).
M'ap toujou di ou mèsi pou sa ou fè, Bondye. Tout espwa mwen se nan ou li ye. M'ap kanpe nan mitan moun k'ap sevi ou yo pou m' fè konnen jan ou bon.
