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 speaketh to Jehovah the words of this song in the day Jehovah hath 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 saith: 'Jehovah [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 Saviour, from violence Thou savest me!
4 Mwen rele Seyè a, li delivre m' anba lènmi m' yo. Lwanj pou Seyè a!
The Praised One, I call Jehovah: And from mine enemies I am saved.
5 Lanmò te fin vlope m', mwen te pè lè m' wè tout malè sa yo tonbe sou mwen.
When the breakers of death compassed me, The streams of the worthless terrify me,
The cords of Sheol have surrounded me, Before me have been the snares of death. (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 mine adversity I call Jehovah, And unto my God I call, And He heareth from His temple my voice, 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 shake and tremble doth the earth, Foundations of the heavens are troubled, And are shaken, for He hath 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.
Gone up hath smoke by His nostrils. And fire from His mouth devoureth, Brands have been kindled by it.
10 Li bese syèl la, li desann ak yon gwo nwaj nwa anba pye li.
And He inclineth heaven, and cometh 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 rideth on a cherub, and doth fly, 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 setteth darkness Round about Him — tabernacles, Darkness of waters — 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 Were brands of fire kindled!
14 Seyè a pran gwonde nan syèl la. Bondye ki anwo nan syèl la fè tout moun tande vwa li.
Thunder from the heavens doth Jehovah, And the Most High giveth 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 sendeth forth arrows, And scattereth them; Lightning, and troubleth 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 seen are the streams of the sea, Revealed are foundations of the world, By the rebuke of Jehovah, 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 sendeth from above — He taketh me, He draweth 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 delivereth me from my strong enemy, From those hating me, For they were stronger than I.
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 Jehovah is my support,
20 Li wete m' nan move pa a. Li delivre m' paske li renmen m'.
And He bringeth me out to a large place, He draweth 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.
Jehovah recompenseth me, According to my righteousness, According to the cleanness of my hands, He doth return to me.
22 Mwen te obeyi lalwa Seyè a, mwen pa janm vire do bay Bondye.
For I have kept the ways of Jehovah, 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 to His statutes, I turn not 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 mine iniquity.
25 Se konsa li ban m' sa m' merite, paske mwen mache dwat devan li, paske li wè mwen inonsan.
And Jehovah returneth 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 Thou shewest Thyself kind, With the perfect man Thou shewest Thyself perfect,
27 Ou pa fè ipokrit ak moun ki pa fè ipokrit avè ou, men ou malen ak moun ki malen.
With the pure Thou shewest Thyself pure, And with the perverse Thou shewest Thyself a wrestler.
28 Ou sove moun ki soumèt yo devan ou. Men, ou annik gade moun ki gen lògèy yo, ou desann yo.
And the poor people Thou dost save, And Thine eyes on the high causest to fall.
29 Seyè, ou se limyè mwen. Se ou ki wete m' nan fènwa kote m' te ye a.
For Thou [art] my lamp, O Jehovah, And Jehovah doth lighten 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 Thee I run — 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! Perfect [is] His way, The saying of Jehovah is tried, A shield He [is] 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 save Jehovah? And who a Rock save 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 maketh perfect my way;
34 Li asire pye m' tankou pye kabrit, li fè m' mache sou mòn yo san m' pa tonbe.
Making my feet like hinds, And on my high places causeth me to stand,
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 brought down was a bow of brass by mine 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 Thou givest to me the shield of Thy salvation, And Thy lowliness maketh me great.
37 Ou pa kite yo bare wout mwen. Mwen pa janm pèdi pye.
Thou enlargest my step under me, And mine ankles have not slidden.
38 Mwen kouri dèyè lènmi m' yo, mwen bat yo. Mwen pa tounen toutan mwen pa fin kraze yo nèt.
I pursue mine enemies and destroy them, And I turn not till 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 smite them, And they rise not, and fall under my feet.
40 Ou ban m' kont fòs pou m' goumen. Ou fè lènmi m' yo mande m' padon.
And Thou girdest me [with] strength for battle, Thou causest my withstanders to bow under me.
41 Ou fè yo kouri devan m'. Mwen disparèt tout moun ki rayi m' yo.
And mine enemies — Thou givest 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 saviour; Unto Jehovah, and He hath 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 — Thou dost deliver me From the strivings of my people, Thou placest me for a head of nations; A people I have not known do 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 hearken 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!
Jehovah liveth, 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 mine enemies, Yea, above my withstanders Thou raisest me up. From a man of violence Thou deliverest me.
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 Thee, O Jehovah, among nations. And to Thy name I sing praise.
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 — unto the age!'
