Sòm 10
1 Poukisa ou rete lwen konsa, Seyè? Poukisa ou kache kò ou konsa lè nou nan ka?
Why standest thou afar off, O LORD? [why] hidest thou [thyself] in times of trouble?
2 Mechan an ap gonfle lestonmak li, l'ap pèsekite malere yo. Se pou pye l' pran nan pèlen limenm li tann lan.
The wicked in [his] pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.
3 Mechan an ap vante tèt li pou move lanvi li gen nan kè l'. Lanbisyon fè l' pale mal, li vire do bay Bondye.
For the wicked boasteth of his heart’s desire, and blesseth the covetous, [whom] the LORD abhorreth.
4 Mechan an tèlman gen lògèy, l'ap plede di: -Bondye p'ap pini m'. Pa gen Bondye. Se sa ase mechan an mete nan tèt li.
The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek [after God: ] God [is] not in all his thoughts.
5 Tou sa li fè toujou mache byen. Li pa konprann jijman Bondye yo. L'ap meprize lènmi l' yo.
His ways are always grievous; thy judgments [are] far above out of his sight: [as for] all his enemies, he puffeth at them.
6 L'ap di nan kè l': Anyen pa ka brannen m'. Mwen p'ap janm nan pwoblèm.
He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for [I shall] never [be] in adversity.
7 Tout pawòl li se madichon, se manti, se twonpe moun. Li cho konsa pou l' pale moun mal, pou l' di gwo mo.
His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue [is] mischief and vanity.
8 Li kache kò l' nan ti bouk yo, l'ap pare tann inonsan yo pou l' touye yo an kachèt. L'ap veye moun ki san defans.
He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places doth he murder the innocent: his eyes are privily set against the poor.
9 Li anbiske kò l' tankou yon lyon nan kachèt li. Li kouche, l'ap tann malere yo. Li pran yo nan pèlen li, li trennen yo pote ale.
He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lieth in wait to catch the poor: he doth catch the poor, when he draweth him into his net.
10 Li bese, li kwoupi kò l', malere yo tonbe nan men l'.
He croucheth, [and] humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones.
11 Mechan an di nan kè l': -Bondye p'ap okipe bagay konsa. Li fèmen je l', li p'ap janm wè m'.
He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face; he will never see [it].
12 Leve non, Seyè! vin sove mwen! Bondye, pa bliye moun y'ap peze yo!
Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up thine hand: forget not the humble.
13 Ki jan mechan an fè ap meprize Bondye jouk pou li di nan kè l': Li p'ap pini mwen?
Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require [it].
14 Men, ou make tout bagay. Ou konnen soufrans ak lapenn lèzòm. Ou toujou pare pou ede yo. Moun ki san defans yo, se nan men ou yo lage kòz yo, paske ou toujou ede moun ki san papa.
Thou hast seen [it; ] for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to requite [it] with thy hand: the poor committeth himself unto thee; thou art the helper of the fatherless.
15 Kraze pouvwa mechan yo, pouvwa moun k'ap fè mal yo. Fè yo rann kont pou sa yo fè, jouk yo disparèt nèt devan je ou.
Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil [man: ] seek out his wickedness [till] thou find none.
16 Seyè a, se wa li ye depi tout tan ak pou tout tan. Moun lòt nasyon yo gen pou disparèt nan peyi li a.
The LORD [is] King for ever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land.
17 Seyè, w'a koute moun ki soumèt devan ou lè y'ap lapriyè. W'a ba yo kouraj.
LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear:
18 W'a tande rèl moun y'ap peze yo, rèl timoun ki san papa yo. W'a fè yo jistis. Konsa, lèzòm ki fèt ak pousyè tè p'ap kapab fè moun pè ankò.
To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more oppress.
