Sòm 22
1 Pou chèf sanba yo. Se pou yo chante l' sou lè chante ki di: Nan granmaten yon fenmèl kabrit. Se yon sòm David. Bondye, Bondye m', poukisa ou lage m' konsa? Poukisa ou rete lwen konsa, san pote m' sekou, san koute jan m'ap plenn lan?
For the end, concerning the morning aid, a Psalm of David. O God, my God, attend to me: why have you forsaken me? the account of my transgressions is far from my salvation.
2 Tout lajounen m'ap rele ou, Bondye mwen, ou pa reponn. Tout lannwit m'ap rele, mwen pa ka dòmi.
O my God, I will cry to you by day, but you will not hear: and by night, and [it shall] not [be accounted] for folly to me.
3 Men, se ou menm ki Bondye, ou chita sou fotèy ki apa pou ou a. Pèp Izrayèl la ap fè lwanj ou.
But you, the praise of Israel, dwell in a sanctuary.
4 Zansèt nou yo te mete konfyans yo nan ou. Yo te fè ou konfyans, ou te sove yo.
Our fathers hoped in you; they hoped, and you did deliver them.
5 Lè yo te kriye nan pye ou, ou te wete yo nan move pa. Wi, yo te mete konfyans yo nan ou, yo pa t' janm regrèt yo te fè sa.
They cried to you, and were saved: they hoped in you, and were not ashamed.
6 Men, se pa moun mwen ye ankò, se yon vètè mwen tounen. Tout moun ap meprize m', tout moun ap pase m' nan betiz.
But I am a worm, and not a man; a reproach of men, and scorn of the people.
7 Tout moun ki wè m' pase m' nan rizib. Y'ap lonje dwèt sou mwen, y'ap fè siy sou mwen.
All that saw me mocked me: they spoke with [their] lips, they shook the head, [saying],
8 Y'ap di m' konsa: -Jan ou te konte sou Seyè a, poukisa li pa delivre ou? Si Seyè a renmen ou, poukisa li pa ede ou?
He hoped in the Lord: let him deliver him, let him save him, because he takes pleasure in him.
9 Se ou menm ki te fè m' soti san danje nan vant manman m'. Se ou menm ankò ki te pwoteje m' lè m' te nan tete.
For you are he that drew me out of the womb; my hope from my mother's breasts.
10 Depi nan vant manman m', se ou menm k'ap pwoteje m'. Depi anvan mwen te fèt, se ou menm ki Bondye mwen.
I was cast on you from the womb: you are my God from my mother's belly.
11 Pa rete lwen m' konsa. Malè prèt pou tonbe sou mwen, mwen pa gen pesonn pou ede m'.
Stand not aloof from me; for affliction is near; for there is no helper.
12 Lènmi m' yo anpil, yo sènen m' toupatou. Yo tankou gwo towo bèf peyi Bazan. Kote m' vire yo la.
Many bullocks have compassed me: fat bulls have beset me round.
13 Yo louvri bouch yo, ou ta di se lyon k'ap gwonde, ki prèt pou dechire mwen.
They have opened their mouth against me, as a ravening and roaring lion.
14 Mwen pèdi tout fòs mwen, tankou dlo ki tonbe atè. Tout zo nan kò m' dejwente. Mwen santi kè m' ap kase, tout zantray mwen ap bouyi.
I am poured out like water, and all my bones are loosened: my heart in the midst of my belly is become like melting wax.
15 Fòs mwen ap cheche, tankou labou nan solèy. Lang mwen kole nan fon bouch mwen. Mwen santi m' prèt pou mouri.
My strength is dried up, like a potsherd; and my tongue is glued to my throat; and you have brought me down to the dust of death.
16 Tankou yon bann chen, mechan yo sènen m'. Bann mechan yo fèmen m' toupatou. Yo kraze de men m' ak de pye m' yo.
For many dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked doers has beset me round: they pierced my hands and my feet.
17 Tout zo nan kò m' parèt. Y'ap gade m', y'ap veye m'.
They counted all my bones; and they observed and looked upon me.
18 Y'ap separe rad mwen ant yo menm, y'ap tire osò pou rad mwen an.
They parted my garments [among] themselves, and cast lots upon my raiment.
19 Pa rete lwen m' konsa, Seyè. Ou menm ki tout fòs mwen, prese vin pote m' sekou.
But you, O Lord, remove not my help afar off: be ready for mine aid.
20 Pa kite yo touye m' ak kout nepe. Pa kite chen yo devore m'.
Deliver my soul from the sword; my only-begotten one from the power of the dog.
21 Wete m' nan bouch lyon yo. Delivre m' anba towo savann sa yo. Ou reponn mwen, Seyè!
Save me from the lion's mouth; and [regard] my lowliness from the horns of the unicorns.
22 M'a di frè m' yo tout sa ou te fè pou mwen. M'a fè lwanj ou lè yo tout reyini ansanm.
I will declare your name to my brethren: in the midst of the church will I sing praise to you.
23 Nou tout ki gen krentif pou Seyè a, fè lwanj li. Nou tout pitit pitit Jakòb yo, chante pou li. Nou tout pèp Izrayèl la, adore li.
You that fear the Lord, praise him; all you seed of Jacob, glorify him: let all the seed of Israel fear him.
24 Li pa meprize pòv yo, li pa fèmen je l' sou soufrans yo. Li pa rete lwen yo. Lè yo rele l', li reponn.
For he has not despised nor been angry at the supplication of the poor; nor turned away his face from me; but when I cried to him, he heard me.
25 M'a fè lwanj ou pou sa ou fè, nan mitan tout moun yo lè yo reyini. M'a fè sa mwen te pwomèt ou yo, devan tout moun ki gen krentif pou ou yo.
My praise is of you in the great congregation: I will pay my vows before them that fear him.
26 Pòv yo va manje mezi yo kapab. Moun k'ap chache Seyè a va fè lwanj li. Y'a viv ak kè poze pou tout tan.
The poor shall eat and be satisfied; and they shall praise the Lord that seek him: their heart shall live for ever.
27 Tout nasyon va chonje sa Seyè a te fè. Toupatou sou latè yo pral tounen vin jwenn li. Moun tout peyi va adore li.
All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to the Lord: and all the kindred of the nations shall worship before him.
28 Se Seyè a ki wa. Se li ki donminen sou tout nasyon.
For the kingdom is the Lord's; and he is the governor of the nations.
29 Tout grannèg sou latè va bese tèt devan li. Yo tout ki la pou mouri, yo tout ki la pou al anba tè, yo pral adore li.
All the fat ones of the earth have eaten and worshipped: all that go down to the earth shall fall down before him: my soul also lives to him.
30 Jenerasyon k'ap vini yo va sèvi li. Moun va rakonte istwa Seyè a bay pitit yo.
And my seed shall serve him: the generation that is coming shall be reported to the Lord.
31 Pitit yo menm, lè y'a fè pitit, y'a fè konnen jan Seyè a te delivre yo ansanm ak tou sa li te fè pou yo.
And they shall report his righteousness to the people that shall be born, whom the Lord has made.
