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 speaks the words of this song to YHWH in the day YHWH has delivered him out of the hand of all his enemies, and out of 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'.
and he says: “YHWH [is] my rock, And my bulwark, and a deliverer to me,
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—I take refuge in Him; My shield, and the horn of my salvation, My high tower, and my refuge! My Savior, You save me from violence!
4 Mwen rele Seyè a, li delivre m' anba lènmi m' yo. Lwanj pou Seyè a!
I call on YHWH, [who is worthy] to be praised: And I am saved from my enemies.
5 Lanmò te fin vlope m', mwen te pè lè m' wè tout malè sa yo tonbe sou mwen.
When the breakers of death surrounded me, The streams of the worthless terrify me,
The cords of Sheol have surrounded me, The snares of death have been before 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 adversity I call on YHWH, And I call to my God, And He hears my voice from His temple, And my cry [is] in 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.
And the earth shakes and trembles, Foundations of the heavens are troubled, And are shaken, for He has wrath!
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 has gone up by His nostrils, And fire devours from His mouth; Brands have been kindled by it.
10 Li bese syèl la, li desann ak yon gwo nwaj nwa anba pye li.
And He inclines the heavens and comes down, And thick darkness [is] under His feet.
11 Li moute sou do yon zanj cheriben, li t'ap vole. Yon kouran van t'ap pouse l' ale.
And He rides on a cherub and flies, And is seen on the wings of the wind.
12 Li te kache kò l' nan fènwa. Yon gwo nwaj pwès plen dlo te vlope l' toupatou.
And He sets darkness around Him [for His] dwelling places, Darkness of waters [and] thick clouds of the skies.
13 Anpil chabon dife tou limen t'ap soti nan gwo limyè ki t'ap klere devan li an.
From the brightness before Him Brands of fire were kindled!
14 Seyè a pran gwonde nan syèl la. Bondye ki anwo nan syèl la fè tout moun tande vwa li.
YHWH thunders from the heavens, And the Most High gives forth His voice.
15 Li voye flèch li yo, li gaye tout lènmi m' yo, li fè yo tout kouri ak kout zèklè.
And He sends forth arrows, and scatters them; Lightning, and troubles 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.
And the streams of the sea are seen, [The] foundations of the world are revealed, By the rebuke of YHWH, From the breath of the spirit of His anger.
17 Seyè a rete nan syèl la, li lonje men l', li pran m'. Li rale m' soti nan mitan gwo dlo yo.
He sends from above—He takes me, He draws me out of many 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 delivers me from my strong enemy, From those hating me, For they were stronger than me.
19 Lè m' te nan tray, yo pwofite atake m'. Men, Seyè a te kenbe m'.
They are before me in a day of my calamity, And YHWH is my support,
20 Li wete m' nan move pa a. Li delivre m' paske li renmen m'.
And He brings me out to a large place, He draws me out for 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.
YHWH repays me, According to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands, He returns to me.
22 Mwen te obeyi lalwa Seyè a, mwen pa janm vire do bay Bondye.
For I have kept the ways of YHWH, And have not done wickedly against my God.
23 Mwen fè tou sa ki nan lalwa li, mwen pa janm dezobeyi kòmandman li yo.
For all His judgments [are] before me, As for His statutes, I do not turn from them.
24 Li konnen mwen pa antò. Mwen kenbe kò m' pou m' pa fè sa ki mal.
And I am perfect before Him, And I keep myself from my iniquity.
25 Se konsa li ban m' sa m' merite, paske mwen mache dwat devan li, paske li wè mwen inonsan.
And YHWH returns to me, According to my righteousness, According to my cleanness before His eyes.
26 Ou menm, Seyè, ou kenbe pawòl ou ak moun ki kenbe pawòl yo, ou bon ak moun ki bon.
With the kind You show Yourself kind, With the perfect man You show Yourself perfect,
27 Ou pa fè ipokrit ak moun ki pa fè ipokrit avè ou, men ou malen ak moun ki malen.
With the pure You show Yourself pure, And with the perverse You show Yourself a wrestler.
28 Ou sove moun ki soumèt yo devan ou. Men, ou annik gade moun ki gen lògèy yo, ou desann yo.
And You save the poor people, But Your eyes on the high cause [them] to fall.
29 Seyè, ou se limyè mwen. Se ou ki wete m' nan fènwa kote m' te ye a.
For You [are] my lamp, O YHWH, And YHWH lightens 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 by You I run [against] a troop, By my God I leap 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.
God—His way [is] perfect, The saying of YHWH is tried, He [is] a shield to all those trusting 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 except YHWH? 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—my bulwark, [my] strength, And He makes my way perfect;
34 Li asire pye m' tankou pye kabrit, li fè m' mache sou mòn yo san m' pa tonbe.
Making my feet like does, And causes me to stand on my high places,
35 Li moutre m' jan pou m' goumen. Li ban m' fòs pou m' sèvi ak pi gwo banza ki genyen.
Teaching my hands for battle, And a bow of bronze was brought down by my arms,
36 Se ou menm, Seyè, ki pwoteje m'. Se ou ki sove m'. Si m' kapab leve kanpe, se paske ou renmen m'.
And You give the shield of Your salvation to me, And Your lowliness makes me great.
37 Ou pa kite yo bare wout mwen. Mwen pa janm pèdi pye.
You enlarge my step under me, And my ankles have not slipped.
38 Mwen kouri dèyè lènmi m' yo, mwen bat yo. Mwen pa tounen toutan mwen pa fin kraze yo nèt.
I pursue my enemies and destroy them, And I do not turn until they are consumed.
39 Mwen jete yo atè, m' kraze yo, yo pa ka leve. Yo tonbe, mwen mete pye m' sou kou yo.
And I consume them, and strike them, And they do not rise, and fall under my feet.
40 Ou ban m' kont fòs pou m' goumen. Ou fè lènmi m' yo mande m' padon.
And You gird me [with] strength for battle, You cause my withstanders to bow under me.
41 Ou fè yo kouri devan m'. Mwen disparèt tout moun ki rayi m' yo.
And my enemies—You give to me the neck, Those hating me—and I cut them off.
42 Y'ap mande sekou, men pa gen moun ki ka sove yo. Y'ap rele Seyè a, men li pa reponn yo.
They look, and there is no savior; To YHWH, and He has not answered them.
43 Mwen kraze yo fè yo tounen pousyè. M' pilonnen yo, m' mache sou yo tankou sou labou nan lari.
And I beat them as dust of the earth, As mire of the streets I beat them small—I spread them out!
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'.
And You deliver me From the strivings of my people, You place me for a head of nations; A people I have not known serve me.
45 Moun lòt peyi yo ap achte figi m'. Kou yo tande vwa m', yo obeyi m'.
Sons of a stranger feign obedience to me, At the hearing of the ear they listen to me.
46 Yo pèdi tout kouraj yo. Yo soti kote yo te kache a, y'ap tranble kou fèy bwa.
Sons of a stranger fade away, And gird themselves by their close places.
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!
YHWH lives, and blessed [is] my Rock, And exalted is my God—The Rock of my salvation.
48 Se Bondye ki pran revanj mwen. Se li ki mete pèp yo anba pye mwen.
God—who is giving vengeance to me, And bringing down peoples under 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.
And bringing me forth from my enemies, Indeed, You raise me up above my withstanders. You deliver me from a man of violence.
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 confess You, O YHWH, among nations, And I sing praise 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.
Magnifying the salvations of His king, And doing loving-kindness to His anointed, To David, and to his seed—for all time!”
