Sòm 16
1 Sè yon kantik David. Pwoteje m', Bondye, paske se bò kote ou m'ap chache pwoteksyon.
A miktam of David protect me O God for I have taken refuge in you.
2 Mwen di Seyè a: -Se ou ki sèl Mèt mwen. Se ou menm ki tout mwen. Pa gen pase ou!
You [fem] said to Yahweh [are the] Lord you good my not [is] on you.
3 Tout plezi m' se pou m' toujou la avè moun k'ap sèvi Seyè a nan peyi a.
To [the] holy [ones] who [are] in the land they and [the] majestic [ones] [whom] all delight my [is] in them.
4 Moun k'ap kouri dèyè tout lòt bondye yo, se traka y'ap chache bay tèt yo. Mwen p'ap mele nan ofrann bèt y'ap fè. Mwen p'ap janm nonmen non bondye sa yo.
They will increase sorrows their [those who] another [god] they hurried after not I will pour out drink offerings their from blood and not I will take names their on lips my.
5 Seyè, se ou menm ki tout byen mwen. Se ou ki ban m' tou sa m' merite. Lavi m' nan men ou.
Yahweh [is] [the] portion of possession my and cup my you [are] holding lot my.
6 Ala yon bèl eritaj ki vin pou mwen! Ala kontan mwen kontan pou pòsyon pa m' lan!
Boundary lines they have fallen to me in pleasant [places] also an inheritance it is beautiful on me.
7 M'ap fè lwanj Seyè a paske li ban m' bon konsèy. Menm lannwit, konsyans mwen di m' sa pou m' fè.
I will bless Yahweh who he has counseled me also nights they have instructed me kidneys my.
8 Mwen toujou mete Seyè a devan je m'. Paske li toujou bò kote m'. Anyen pa ka brannen m'.
I have placed Yahweh to before me continually for [he is] from right [hand] my not I will be shaken.
9 Se poutèt sa, kè m' kontan anpil. Mwen santi se tout tan mwen ta chante. Ata kò mwen m'ap poze ak konfyans nan Bondye.
Therefore - it is glad heart my and it rejoiced honor my also body my it will dwell to security.
10 Paske ou p'ap kite m' kote mò yo ye a, ou p'ap penmèt moun k'ap sèvi ou la pouri anba tè. (Sheol h7585)
For - not you will abandon life my to Sheol not you will permit faithful [one] your to see [the] pit. (Sheol h7585)
11 W'a fè m' konnen chemen ki bay lavi a. Paske ou la avè m', mwen pa manke kontan. Bò kote ou, Seyè, se yon plèzi ki p'ap janm fini.
You will make known to me [the] path of life abundance of gladness [are] with presence your pleasant [things] [are] at right [hand] your perpetuity.
