Psalms 10
1 Why do you stand far off, LORD? Why do you hide yourself in times of trouble?
Poukisa ou rete lwen konsa, Seyè? Poukisa ou kache kò ou konsa lè nou nan ka?
2 In arrogance, the wicked hunt down the weak. They are caught in the schemes that they devise.
Mechan an ap gonfle lestonmak li, l'ap pèsekite malere yo. Se pou pye l' pran nan pèlen limenm li tann lan.
3 For the wicked boasts of his heart’s cravings. He blesses the greedy and condemns the LORD.
Mechan an ap vante tèt li pou move lanvi li gen nan kè l'. Lanbisyon fè l' pale mal, li vire do bay Bondye.
4 The wicked, in the pride of his face, has no room in his thoughts for God.
Mechan an tèlman gen lògèy, l'ap plede di: -Bondye p'ap pini m'. Pa gen Bondye. Se sa ase mechan an mete nan tèt li.
5 His ways are prosperous at all times. He is arrogant, and your laws are far from his sight. As for all his adversaries, he sneers at them.
Tou sa li fè toujou mache byen. Li pa konprann jijman Bondye yo. L'ap meprize lènmi l' yo.
6 He says in his heart, “I shall not be shaken. For generations I shall have no trouble.”
L'ap di nan kè l': Anyen pa ka brannen m'. Mwen p'ap janm nan pwoblèm.
7 His mouth is full of cursing, deceit, and oppression. Under his tongue is mischief and iniquity.
Tout pawòl li se madichon, se manti, se twonpe moun. Li cho konsa pou l' pale moun mal, pou l' di gwo mo.
8 He lies in wait near the villages. From ambushes, he murders the innocent. His eyes are secretly set against the helpless.
Li kache kò l' nan ti bouk yo, l'ap pare tann inonsan yo pou l' touye yo an kachèt. L'ap veye moun ki san defans.
9 He lurks in secret as a lion in his ambush. He lies in wait to catch the helpless. He catches the helpless when he draws him in his net.
Li anbiske kò l' tankou yon lyon nan kachèt li. Li kouche, l'ap tann malere yo. Li pran yo nan pèlen li, li trennen yo pote ale.
10 The helpless are crushed. They collapse. They fall under his strength.
Li bese, li kwoupi kò l', malere yo tonbe nan men l'.
11 He says in his heart, “God has forgotten. He hides his face. He will never see it.”
Mechan an di nan kè l': -Bondye p'ap okipe bagay konsa. Li fèmen je l', li p'ap janm wè m'.
12 Arise, LORD! God, lift up your hand! Don’t forget the helpless.
Leve non, Seyè! vin sove mwen! Bondye, pa bliye moun y'ap peze yo!
13 Why does the wicked person condemn God, and say in his heart, “God won’t call me into account”?
Ki jan mechan an fè ap meprize Bondye jouk pou li di nan kè l': Li p'ap pini mwen?
14 But you do see trouble and grief. You consider it to take it into your hand. You help the victim and the fatherless.
Men, ou make tout bagay. Ou konnen soufrans ak lapenn lèzòm. Ou toujou pare pou ede yo. Moun ki san defans yo, se nan men ou yo lage kòz yo, paske ou toujou ede moun ki san papa.
15 Break the arm of the wicked. As for the evil man, seek out his wickedness until you find none.
Kraze pouvwa mechan yo, pouvwa moun k'ap fè mal yo. Fè yo rann kont pou sa yo fè, jouk yo disparèt nèt devan je ou.
16 The LORD is King forever and ever! The nations will perish out of his land.
Seyè a, se wa li ye depi tout tan ak pou tout tan. Moun lòt nasyon yo gen pou disparèt nan peyi li a.
17 LORD, you have heard the desire of the humble. You will prepare their heart. You will cause your ear to hear,
Seyè, w'a koute moun ki soumèt devan ou lè y'ap lapriyè. W'a ba yo kouraj.
18 to judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that man who is of the earth may terrify no more.
W'a tande rèl moun y'ap peze yo, rèl timoun ki san papa yo. W'a fè yo jistis. Konsa, lèzòm ki fèt ak pousyè tè p'ap kapab fè moun pè ankò.
