Psalms 18
1 To victorie, the word of the Lord to Dauid; which spak the wordis of this song, in the dai in which the Lord delyuerede hym fro the hond of alle hise enemyes, and fro the hond of Saul; and he seide: Lord, my strengthe, Y schal loue thee; the Lord is my stidfastnesse, and my refuyt, and mi deliuerere.
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 Mi God is myn helpere; and Y schal hope in to hym. My defendere, and the horn of myn helthe; and myn vptakere.
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 I schal preise, and ynwardli clepe the Lord; and Y schal be saaf fro myn enemyes.
Mwen rele Seyè a: Li delivre m' anba lènmi m' yo. Lwanj pou Seyè a!
4 The sorewis of deth cumpassiden me; and the strondis of wickidnesse disturbliden 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 In my tribulacioun Y inwardli clepide the Lord; and Y criede to my God. And he herde my vois fro his hooli temple; and my cry in his siyt entride in to hise eeris.
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 The erthe was mouede togidere, and tremblede togidere; the foundementis of hillis weren troblid togidere, and weren moued togidere; for he was wrooth to hem.
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 Smoke stiede in the ire of hym, and fier brente out fro his face; coolis weren kyndlid of hym.
Lafimen t'ap soti nan twou nen li. Yon gwo flanm dife ak moso chabon tou limen t'ap soti nan bouch li.
9 He bowide doun heuenes, and cam doun; and derknesse was vndur hise feet.
Li bese syèl la, li desann avè yon gwo nwaj nwa anba pye li.
10 And he stiede on cherubym, and flei; he fley ouer the pennes of wyndis.
Li moute sou do yon zanj cheriben, li t'ap vole. Yon kouran van t'ap pouse l' ale.
11 And he settide derknesses his hidyng place, his tabernacle `in his cumpas; derk water was in the cloudes of the lowere eir.
Li te kache kò l' nan fènwa. Yon gwo nwaj pwès, plen dlo, te vlope l' toupatou.
12 Ful cleer cloudis passiden in his siyt; hail and the coolis of fier.
Anpil lagrèl ak anpil chabon dife t'ap soti nan gwo limyè ki t'ap klere devan l' lan.
13 And the Lord thundrid fro heuene; and the hiyeste yaf his vois, hail and the coolis of fier `camen doun.
Seyè a pran gwonde nan syèl la. Bondye ki anwo nan syèl la fè tout moun tande vwa li.
14 And he sente hise arowis, and distriede tho men; he multipliede leytis, and disturblide tho men.
Li voye flèch li yo, li gaye tout lènmi m' yo. Li fè yo tout kouri ak kout zèklè.
15 And the wellis of watris apperiden; and the foundementis of the erthe weren schewid. Lord, of thi blamyng; of the brething of the spirit of thin ire.
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 sente fro the hiyeste place, and took me; and he took me fro many watris.
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 delyuerede me fro my strongeste enemyes; and fro hem that hatiden me, fro thei weren coumfortid on 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 Thei camen bifor me in the dai of my turment; and the Lord was maad my defendere.
Lè m' te nan tray, yo pwofite atake m'. Men, Seyè a te soutni m'.
19 And he ledde out me in to breede; he maad me saaf, for he wolde me.
Li wete m' nan move pa a. Li delivre m' paske li renmen mwen.
20 And the Lord schal yelde to me bi my riytfulnesse; and he schal yelde to me bi the clennesse of myn hondis.
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 Y kepte the weies of the Lord; and Y dide not vnfeithfuli fro my God.
Mwen te obeyi lalwa Seyè a, mwen pa vire do bay Bondye m' lan pou m' fè sa ki mal.
22 For alle hise domes ben in my siyt; and Y puttide not awei fro me hise riytfulnessis.
Mwen fè tou sa ki nan lalwa li, mwen pa janm dezobeyi kòmandman li yo.
23 And Y schal be vnwemmed with hym; and Y schal kepe me fro my wickidnesse.
Li konnen mwen pa antò. Mwen kenbe kò m' pou m' pa fè sa ki mal.
24 And the Lord schal yelde to me bi my riytfulnesse; and bi the clennesse of myn hondis in the siyt of hise iyen.
Se konsa li ban m' rekonpans mwen, paske mwen mache dwat devan li, paske li wè mwen inonsan.
25 With the hooli, thou schalt be hooli; and with `a man innocent, thou schalt be innocent.
Ou menm, Seyè, ou kenbe pawòl ou ak moun ki kenbe pawòl yo. Ou bon ak moun ki bon.
26 And with a chosun man, thou schalt be chosun; and with a weiward man, thou schalt be weiward.
Ou pa fè ipokrit ak moun ki pa fè ipokrit avè ou, men ou malen ak moun ki malen.
27 For thou schalt make saaf a meke puple; and thou schalt make meke the iyen of proude men.
Ou delivre moun ki soumèt devan ou, men ou desann moun ki konprann yo pa kanmarad pesonn.
28 For thou, Lord, liytnest my lanterne; my God, liytne thou my derknessis.
Seyè, ou se limyè mwen, ou se Bondye mwen. Se ou ki wete m' nan fènwa kote m' te ye a.
29 For bi thee Y schal be delyuered fro temptacioun; and in my God Y schal `go ouer the wal.
Avè ou, mwen fonse sou bann lènmi m' yo ki ame jouk nan dan. Avèk ou, mwen eskalade miray ki sèvi yo defans.
30 Mi God, his weie is vndefoulid, the speches of the Lord ben examyned bi fier; he is defendere of alle men hopynge in hym.
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 whi, who is God out takun the Lord? ethir who is God outakun oure God?
Ki moun ki Bondye si se pa Seyè a? Ki moun ki pran defans nou si se pa Bondye nou an?
32 God that hath gird me with vertu; and hath set my weie vnwemmed.
Se Bondye ki ban m' fòs, li fè m' mennen yon vi san repwòch.
33 Which made perfit my feet as of hertis; and ordeynynge me on hiye thingis.
Li asire pye m' tankou pye kabrit. Li fè m' mache sou mòn yo, san m' pa tonbe.
34 Which techith myn hondis to batel; and thou hast set myn armys as a brasun bouwe.
Li moutre m' jan pou m' goumen. Li ban m' fòs pou m' sèvi ak pi gwo banza ki genyen.
35 And thou hast youe to me the kyueryng of thin helthe; and thi riythond hath vptake me. And thi chastisyng amendide me in to the ende; and thilke chastisyng of thee schal teche 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 Thou alargidist my paaces vndur me; and my steppis ben not maad vnstidefast.
Ou pa kite yo bare wout mwen. Mwen pa janm pèdi pye.
37 Y schal pursue myn enemyes, and Y schal take hem; and Y schal not turne til thei failen.
Mwen kouri dèyè lènmi m' yo, mwen jwenn yo. Mwen pa tounen jouk tan mwen pa fin kraze yo nèt.
38 I schal al to-breke hem, and thei schulen not mowe stonde; thei schulen falle vndur my feet.
Mwen jete yo atè, yo pa ka leve. Yo tonbe, mwen mete pye m' sou kou yo.
39 And thou hast gird me with vertu to batel; and thou hast `supplauntid, ether disseyued, vndur me men risynge ayens me.
Ou ban m' kont fòs pou batay la. Ou fè lènmi m' yo mande m' padon.
40 And thou hast youe myn enemyes abac to me; and thou hast distried `men hatynge me.
Ou fè lènmi m' yo kouri devan m'. Mwen disparèt tout moun ki rayi m' yo.
41 Thei crieden, and noon was that maad hem saaf; `thei crieden to the Lord, and he herde not hem.
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 Y schal al to-breke hem, as dust bifor the face of wynd; Y schal do hem awei, as the cley of stretis.
Mwen kraze yo, yo tout tounen pousyè van pote yo ale. Mwen mache sou yo tankou sou labou nan lari.
43 Thou schalt delyuere me fro ayenseiyngis of the puple; thou schalt sette me in to the heed of folkis.
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 The puple, which Y knewe not, seruede me; in the herynge of eere it obeiede to me.
Moun lòt peyi yo ap flate m'. Kou yo tande vwa m', yo obeyi:
45 Alien sones lieden to me, alien sones wexiden elde; and crokiden fro thi pathis.
Yo pèdi tout kouraj yo. Yo soti kote yo te kache a, y'ap tranble kou fèy bwa.
46 The Lord lyueth, and my God be blessid; and the God of myn helthe be enhaunsid.
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, that yauest veniaunces to me, and makist suget puplis vndur me; my delyuerere fro my wrathful enemyes.
Se Bondye ki pran revanj mwen. Se li ki mete pèp yo anba pye mwen.
48 And thou schalt enhaunse me fro hem, that risen ayens me; thou schalt delyuere me fro a wickid man.
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 Therfor, Lord, Y schal knouleche to thee among naciouns; and Y schal seie salm to thi name.
Se poutèt sa, Seyè, m'a fè moun lòt nasyon yo konnen ki moun ou ye. M'a chante pou fè lwanj ou.
50 Magnyfiynge the helthis of his kyng; and doynge merci to his crist Dauid, and to his seed til in to the world.
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.
