Sòm 140
1 Pou chèf sanba yo. Se yon sòm David. Seyè, delivre m' anba mechan yo non! Pwoteje m' anba ansasen yo non,
To victorie, the salm of Dauith. Lord, delyuere thou me fro an yuel man; delyuere thou me fro a wickid man.
2 anba moun k'ap kalkile move lide nan tèt yo, ki tout tan ap pouse dife.
Whiche thouyten wickidnesses in the herte; al dai thei ordeyneden batels.
3 Lang yo se razwa. Pawòl nan bouch yo se pwazon, ou ta di venen sèpan aspik.
Thei scharpiden her tungis as serpentis; the venym of snakis vndir the lippis of hem.
4 Seyè, pa kite m' tonbe anba men mechan yo, pwoteje m' anba ansasen yo k'ap chache jan pou yo fè m' tonbe.
Lord, kepe thou me fro the hond of the synnere; and delyuere thou me fro wickid men. Which thouyten to disseyue my goyngis;
5 Awogan yo pare yon pèlen pou mwen, yo tann pèlen kòd pou mwen, yo mete moun veye m' sou tout chemen mwen.
proude men hidden a snare to me. And thei leiden forth cordis in to a snare; thei settiden sclaundir to me bisidis the weie.
6 Mwen di Seyè a: -Se ou ki Bondye mwen. Koute m' non, Seyè, lè m'ap rele nan pye ou.
I seide to the Lord, Thou art mi God; Lord, here thou the vois of my biseching.
7 Seyè, Bondye mwen, ou se fòs ki pou sove m' lan. W'ap pwoteje m' lè batay la mare.
Lord, Lord, the vertu of myn heelthe; thou madist schadowe on myn heed in the dai of batel.
8 Seyè, pa kite mechan yo fè sa yo gen lide fè a! Pa kite sa yo vle fè a rive!
Lord, bitake thou not me fro my desire to the synnere; thei thouyten ayens me, forsake thou not me, lest perauenture thei ben enhaunsid.
9 Pa kite moun ki pa vle wè m' yo dominen sou mwen. Se pou mechanste ki nan bouch yo a tonbe sou yo!
The heed of the cumpas of hem; the trauel of her lippis schal hile hem.
10 Se pou Bondye grennen chabon dife sou yo tankou lapli. Se pou l' fè yo tonbe nan gwo twou byen fon kote yo p'ap janm ka leve sòti.
Colis schulen falle on hem, thou schalt caste hem doun in to fier; in wretchidnessis thei schulen not stonde.
11 Se pou moun k'ap pale moun mal yo pèdi pye nan peyi a. Se pou malè tonbe sou ansasen yo pou l' touye yo.
A man a greet ianglere schal not be dressid in erthe; yuels schulen take an vniust man in perisching.
12 Mwen konnen Seyè a va fè pòv yo jistis. L'a defann kòz moun ki san sekou yo.
I haue knowe, that the Lord schal make dom of a nedi man; and the veniaunce of pore men.
13 Wi, moun k'ap mache dwat yo va fè lwanj li. Moun ki obeyi l' yo va toujou viv devan l'.
Netheles iust men schulen knouleche to thi name; and riytful men schulen dwelle with thi cheer.
