2 Samyèl 22
1 Lè Seyè a te fin delivre David anba men Sayil ak anba men tout lènmi li yo, David chante chante sa a pou Seyè a.
And David sang this song to the LORD on the day the LORD had delivered him from the hand of all his enemies and from the hand of Saul.
2 Li di konsa: -Seyè, se ou menm ki twou wòch kote m' kache a. Se ou menm ki sèvi m' ranpa. Se ou menm ki delivre m'.
He said: “The LORD is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer.
3 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 m' jwenn kote pou m' kache. Se ou ki delivrans mwen. Se ou ki delivre m' anba mechan yo.
My God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield, and the horn of my salvation. My stronghold, my refuge, and my Savior, You save me from violence.
4 Mwen rele Seyè a, li delivre m' anba lènmi m' yo. Lwanj pou Seyè a!
I will call upon the LORD, who is worthy to be praised; so shall I be saved from my enemies.
5 Lanmò te fin vlope m', mwen te pè lè m' wè tout malè sa yo tonbe sou mwen.
For the waves of death engulfed me; the torrents of chaos overwhelmed me.
The cords of Sheol entangled me; the snares of death confronted me. (Sheol h7585)
7 Nan mizè mwen te ye a mwen rele Seyè a, Mwen mande Bondye mwen sekou. Kote l' chita lakay li a, li tande vwa mwen. Rèl mwen rive jouk nan zòrèy li.
In my distress I called upon the LORD; I cried out to my God. And from His temple He heard my voice, and my cry for help reached His ears.
8 Lè sa a, latè pran tranble, li souke. Fondasyon syèl la pran tranble. Yon sèl frison pran yo, paske Bondye te an kòlè.
Then the earth shook and quaked; the foundations of the heavens trembled; they were shaken because He burned with anger.
9 Lafimen t'ap soti nan twou nen li. Yon gwo flanm dife ak moso chabon tou limen t'ap soti nan bouch li.
Smoke rose from His nostrils, and consuming fire came from His mouth; glowing coals blazed forth.
10 Li bese syèl la, li desann ak yon gwo nwaj nwa anba pye li.
He parted the heavens and came down with dark clouds beneath His feet.
11 Li moute sou do yon zanj cheriben, li t'ap vole. Yon kouran van t'ap pouse l' ale.
He mounted a cherub and flew; He soared on the wings of the wind.
12 Li te kache kò l' nan fènwa. Yon gwo nwaj pwès plen dlo te vlope l' toupatou.
He made darkness a canopy around Him, a gathering of water and thick clouds.
13 Anpil chabon dife tou limen t'ap soti nan gwo limyè ki t'ap klere devan li an.
From the brightness of His presence coals of fire blazed forth.
14 Seyè a pran gwonde nan syèl la. Bondye ki anwo nan syèl la fè tout moun tande vwa li.
The LORD thundered from heaven; the voice of the Most High resounded.
15 Li voye flèch li yo, li gaye tout lènmi m' yo, li fè yo tout kouri ak kout zèklè.
He shot His arrows and scattered the foes; He hurled lightning and routed them.
16 Lè ou an kòlè, Seyè, van soti ak fòs nan twou nen ou. Lè konsa, moun wè fon lanmè a, fondasyon latè a parèt aklè.
The channels of the sea appeared, and the foundations of the world were exposed at the rebuke of the LORD, at the blast of the breath of His nostrils.
17 Seyè a rete nan syèl la, li lonje men l', li pran m'. Li rale m' soti nan mitan gwo dlo yo.
He reached down from on high and took hold of me; He drew me out of deep waters.
18 Li delivre m' anba gwo lènmi m' yo, anba tout moun sa yo ki te rayi m', epi ki te pi fò pase m'.
He rescued me from my powerful enemy, from foes too mighty for me.
19 Lè m' te nan tray, yo pwofite atake m'. Men, Seyè a te kenbe m'.
They confronted me in my day of calamity, but the LORD was my support.
20 Li wete m' nan move pa a. Li delivre m' paske li renmen m'.
He brought me out into the open; He rescued me because He delighted in me.
21 Seyè a ban m' sa m' merite, paske li wè m' mache dwat devan li. Li ban m' benediksyon paske li wè mwen inonsan.
The LORD has rewarded me according to my righteousness; He has repaid me according to the cleanness of my hands.
22 Mwen te obeyi lalwa Seyè a, mwen pa janm vire do bay Bondye.
For I have kept the ways of the LORD and have not wickedly departed from my God.
23 Mwen fè tou sa ki nan lalwa li, mwen pa janm dezobeyi kòmandman li yo.
For all His ordinances are before me; I have not disregarded His statutes.
24 Li konnen mwen pa antò. Mwen kenbe kò m' pou m' pa fè sa ki mal.
And I have been blameless before Him and kept myself from iniquity.
25 Se konsa li ban m' sa m' merite, paske mwen mache dwat devan li, paske li wè mwen inonsan.
So the LORD has repaid me according to my righteousness, according to my cleanness in His sight.
26 Ou menm, Seyè, ou kenbe pawòl ou ak moun ki kenbe pawòl yo, ou bon ak moun ki bon.
To the faithful You show Yourself faithful, to the blameless You show Yourself blameless;
27 Ou pa fè ipokrit ak moun ki pa fè ipokrit avè ou, men ou malen ak moun ki malen.
to the pure You show Yourself pure, but to the crooked You show Yourself shrewd.
28 Ou sove moun ki soumèt yo devan ou. Men, ou annik gade moun ki gen lògèy yo, ou desann yo.
You save an afflicted people, but Your eyes are on the haughty to bring them down.
29 Seyè, ou se limyè mwen. Se ou ki wete m' nan fènwa kote m' te ye a.
For You, O LORD, are my lamp; the LORD lights up my darkness.
30 Avè ou, mwen fonse sou bann lènmi m' yo ki ame jouk nan dan. Avè ou, mwen eskalade miray ki sèvi yo defans.
For in You I can charge an army; with my God I can scale a wall.
31 Bondye o! Tou sa ou fè bon nèt ale. Ou pa gen de pawòl. Ou pwoteje tout moun ki chache pwoteksyon anba zèl ou.
As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the LORD is flawless. He is a shield to all who take refuge in Him.
32 Ki moun ki Bondye si se pa Seyè a? Ki moun ki defans nou si se pa Bondye nou an?
For who is God besides the LORD? And who is the Rock except our God?
33 Se Bondye ki pwoteje m' avè fòs li. Li fè m' mennen yon lavi san repwòch.
God is my strong fortress and He makes my way clear.
34 Li asire pye m' tankou pye kabrit, li fè m' mache sou mòn yo san m' pa tonbe.
He makes my feet like those of a deer and stations me upon the heights.
35 Li moutre m' jan pou m' goumen. Li ban m' fòs pou m' sèvi ak pi gwo banza ki genyen.
He trains my hands for battle; my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
36 Se ou menm, Seyè, ki pwoteje m'. Se ou ki sove m'. Si m' kapab leve kanpe, se paske ou renmen m'.
You have given me Your shield of salvation, and Your gentleness exalts me.
37 Ou pa kite yo bare wout mwen. Mwen pa janm pèdi pye.
You broaden the path beneath me so that my ankles do not give way.
38 Mwen kouri dèyè lènmi m' yo, mwen bat yo. Mwen pa tounen toutan mwen pa fin kraze yo nèt.
I pursued my enemies and destroyed them; I did not turn back until they were consumed.
39 Mwen jete yo atè, m' kraze yo, yo pa ka leve. Yo tonbe, mwen mete pye m' sou kou yo.
I devoured and crushed them so they could not rise; they have fallen under my feet.
40 Ou ban m' kont fòs pou m' goumen. Ou fè lènmi m' yo mande m' padon.
You have armed me with strength for battle; You have subdued my foes beneath me.
41 Ou fè yo kouri devan m'. Mwen disparèt tout moun ki rayi m' yo.
You have made my enemies retreat before me; I put an end to those who hated me.
42 Y'ap mande sekou, men pa gen moun ki ka sove yo. Y'ap rele Seyè a, men li pa reponn yo.
They looked, but there was no one to save them— to the LORD, but He did not answer.
43 Mwen kraze yo fè yo tounen pousyè. M' pilonnen yo, m' mache sou yo tankou sou labou nan lari.
I ground them as the dust of the earth; I crushed and trampled them like mud in the streets.
44 Ou delivre m' anba pèp rebèl sa a. Ou fè m' rete chèf pou m' gouvènen tout nasyon yo tou. Pèp mwen pa t' konnen, se yo menm k'ap sèvi m'.
You have delivered me from the strife of my people; You have preserved me as the head of nations; a people I had not known shall serve me.
45 Moun lòt peyi yo ap achte figi m'. Kou yo tande vwa m', yo obeyi m'.
Foreigners cower before me; when they hear me, they obey me.
46 Yo pèdi tout kouraj yo. Yo soti kote yo te kache a, y'ap tranble kou fèy bwa.
Foreigners lose heart and come trembling from their strongholds.
47 Konpliman pou Seyè a! Lwanj pou moun ki pran defans mwen an! Se Bondye ki delivre m', se li menm ki pwoteje m'. Ann fè konnen jan li gen pouvwa!
The LORD lives, and blessed be my Rock! And may God, the Rock of my salvation, be exalted—
48 Se Bondye ki pran revanj mwen. Se li ki mete pèp yo anba pye mwen.
the God who avenges me and brings down nations beneath me,
49 Ou sove m' anba men lènmi m' yo. Ou wete m' anba men moun ki t'ap konbat mwen yo. Ou delivre m' anba ansasen yo.
who frees me from my enemies. You exalt me above my foes; You rescue me from violent men.
50 Se poutèt sa m'a fè moun lòt nasyon yo konnen ki moun ou ye. m'a chante pou fè lwanj ou.
Therefore I will praise You, O LORD, among the nations; I will sing praises to Your name.
51 Bondye delivre wa li a anpil fwa. Li moutre jan li pa janm sispann renmen David, moun li chwazi a, ansanm ak pitit pitit li yo pou tout tan.
Great salvation He brings to His king. He shows loving devotion to His anointed, to David and his descendants forever.”
