Psalms 55
1 To the Overseer with stringed instruments. — An instruction, by David. Give ear, O God, [to] my prayer, And hide not from my supplication.
Pou chèf sanba yo. Se sou enstriman mizik akòd pou yo jwe mizik la. Se yon chante David. Bondye, panche zòrèy ou bò kote m'! Koute m' non lè m'ap lapriyè! Piga ou vire do ban mwen lè m'ap rele nan pye ou!
2 Attend to me, and answer me, I mourn in my (meditation) and make a noise,
Pran ka mwen, koute m', reponn mwen non! Kè m' sere, m'ap plenn!
3 Because of the voice of an enemy, Because of the oppression of the wicked, For they cause sorrow to move against me, And in anger they hate me.
Mwen boulvèse lè m' tande lènmi m' yo ap pale, lè m' tande mechan yo ap pale byen fò. Yo fè malè tonbe sou mwen. Yo move sou mwen, y'ap pèsekite m'.
4 My heart is pained within me, And terrors of death have fallen on me.
Mwen santi kè m' kase. Sezisman pran m' lè m' wè mwen fin mouri.
5 Fear and trembling come in to me, And horror doth cover me.
Tout kò m' ap tranble tèlman mwen sezi.
6 And I say, 'Who doth give to me a pinion as a dove? I fly away and rest,
Mwen di konsa: -Pa pito m' te gen zèl tankou yon toutrèl! Mwen ta vole ale. Mwen ta jwenn kote pou m' pran repo.
7 Lo, I move far off, I lodge in a wilderness. (Selah)
Mwen ta kouri pati ale byen lwen. Mwen t'aval rete pou kont mwen nan dezè a.
8 I hasten escape for myself, From a rushing wind, from a whirlwind.
Mwen ta prese jwenn yon kote pou m' kache pou gwo van an, pou gwo lapli a pa fè m' anyen.
9 Swallow up, O Lord, divide their tongue, For I saw violence and strife in a city.
Seyè, mele yo. Fè yonn pa konprann sa lòt ap di. Paske, sa m' wè nan lavil la se chen manje chen, yonn ap goumen ak lòt.
10 By day and by night they go round it, on its walls. Both iniquity and perverseness [are] in its midst,
Lajounen kou lannwit se sa ase ou tande nan lavil la. Anndan lavil la menm, se mechanste, se malfezans.
11 Mischiefs [are] in its midst. Fraud and deceit depart not from its street.
Kote ou pase se moun k'ap kraze brize. Nan tout lari se fè moun lenjistis, se twonpe moun.
12 For an enemy reproacheth me not, or I bear [it], He who is hating me Hath not magnified himself against me, Or I hide from him.
Si se te yon moun ki rayi m' ki t'ap pale m' mal, mwen ta reziyen m'. Si se te yon moun ki pa vle wè m' ki te leve dèyè mwen, mwen ta kache kò m' pou l' pa jwenn mwen.
13 But thou, a man — as mine equal, My familiar friend, and mine acquaintance.
Men, se ou menm, kanmarad mwen, yon bon zanmi m' ki te konn tout ti zafè m'.
14 When together we sweeten counsel, Into the house of God we walk in company.
Nou te konn fè ti koze nou ansanm. Nou te konn al lakay Bondye a ansanm ak foul moun yo.
15 Desolations [are] upon them, They go down [to] Sheol — alive, For wickedness [is] in their dwelling, in their midst. (Sheol h7585)
Se pou yo rete konsa, yo tonbe yo mouri. Se pou yo desann tou vivan kote mò yo ye a, paske mechanste a kaye lakay yo, li nan fon kè yo. (Sheol h7585)
16 I — to God I call, and Jehovah saveth me.
Men, mwen rele Seyè a, Bondye mwen; l'a delivre mwen.
17 Evening, and morning, and noon, I meditate, and make a noise, and He heareth my voice,
Maten, midi, aswè, m'ap plenyen, m'ap plenn. L'a tande vwa mwen.
18 He hath ransomed in peace my soul From him who is near to me, For with the multitude they were with me.
L'a fè m' viv ak kè poze, l'a delivre m' nan batay m'ap mennen ak moun ki leve dèyè m' yo. Yo te mèt anpil.
19 God doth hear and afflict them, And He sitteth of old. (Selah) Because they have no changes, and fear not God,
Bondye k'ap gouvènen depi tout tan an va koute m', l'a kraze lògèy yo. Paske, yo p'ap janm chanje, yo pa gen krentif pou Bondye.
20 He hath sent forth his hands against his well-wishers, He hath polluted his covenant.
Moun ki leve men sou zanmi yo se moun ki trèt.
21 Sweeter than honey hath been his mouth, And his heart [is] war! Softer have been his words than oil, And they [are] drawn [swords].
Pawòl nan bouch yo pi dous pase siwo. Men, nan fon kè yo se yon sèl bagay yo konnen: se goumen. Pawòl yo koule dous tankou lwil, men lang yo se razwa.
22 Cast on Jehovah that which He hath given thee, And He doth sustain thee, He doth not suffer for ever the moving of the righteous.
Renmèt sò ou nan men Seyè a, l'a kenbe ou fèm. Li p'ap janm kite moun ki mache dwat devan li yo rete atè lè yo tonbe.
23 And Thou, O God, dost bring them down To a pit of destruction, Men of blood and deceit reach not to half their days, And I — I do trust in Thee!
Men ou menm, Bondye, w'ap fè bann ansasen sa yo ak bann vòlè sa yo desann anba tè. Yo p'ap wè mwatye nan lavi yo. Men, mwen menm, se nan ou m'ap mete tout konfyans mwen.
