Sòm 27
1 Se yon sòm David. Seyè a se limyè mwen, se li ki delivrans mwen. Ki moun ki ka fè m' pè? Se Seyè a k'ap pwoteje mwen. Ki moun ki ka fè m' tranble?
A Psalme of David. The Lord is my light and my saluation, whom shall I feare? the Lord is the strength of my life, of whome shall I be afraide?
2 Lè mechan yo ap mache sou mwen, lè lènmi m' yo ap chache touye m', se yo menm k'ap bite, se yo menm k'ap tonbe.
When the wicked, euen mine enemies and my foes came vpon mee to eate vp my flesh; they stumbled and fell.
3 Menm si tout yon lame ta sènen m' toupatou, mwen p'ap pè anyen. Menm si yo ta vle fè m' lagè, m'ap toujou gen konfyans nan Bondye.
Though an hoste pitched against me, mine heart should not be afraide: though warre be raised against me, I will trust in this.
4 Mwen mande Seyè a yon bagay, yon bagay mwen anvi anpil anpil: Se pou m' ta pase tout lavi m' nan kay Seyè a, pou m' ka gade bèl bagay li yo byen, pou m' ka pran tan m' pou m' kalkile nan kay ki apa pou li a.
One thing haue I desired of the Lord, that I will require, euen that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the dayes of my life, to beholde the beautie of the Lord, and to visite his Temple.
5 Jou malè tonbe sou mwen, l'a pwoteje m' lakay li. L'a kache m' byen fon nan tanp li a. L'a leve m' mete yon kote pou anyen pa rive m'.
For in the time of trouble hee shall hide mee in his Tabernacle: in the secrete place of his pauillion shall he hide me, and set me vp vpon a rocke.
6 Se konsa m'ap genyen batay la sou tout lènmi k'ap sènen m' yo. M'a bat tanbou, m'a ofri bèt pou touye bay Bondye nan tanp li a. M'a chante, m'a fè lwanj Seyè a.
And nowe shall hee lift vp mine head aboue mine enemies rounde about mee: therefore wil I offer in his Tabernacle sacrifices of ioy: I wil sing and praise the Lord.
7 Seyè, tande m' non lè m'ap rele ou! Gen pitye pou mwen, reponn mwen non!
Hearken vnto my voyce, O Lord, when I crie: haue mercie also vpon mee and heare mee.
8 Ou pale nan kè m', ou di m' vin jwenn ou. M'ap vin jwenn ou, Seyè.
When thou saidest, Seeke ye my face, mine heart answered vnto thee, O Lord, I will seeke thy face.
9 Pa vire do ban mwen. Pa fache, pa repouse moun k'ap sèvi ou la. Se ou ki tout sekou mwen. Pa kite m' pou kont mwen, pa lage m'.
Hide not therefore thy face from mee, nor cast thy seruat away in displeasure: thou hast bene my succour: leaue me not, neither forsake mee, O God of my saluation.
10 Papa m' ak manman m' te mèt lage m', Seyè a va ranmase mwen.
Though my father and my mother shoulde forsake me, yet the Lord will gather me vp.
11 Seyè, moutre m' jan ou vle m' viv la. Fè m' mache nan chemen ki pa gen move pa a, paske mwen gen anpil lènmi k'ap veye m'.
Teache mee thy way, O Lord, and leade me in a right path, because of mine enemies.
12 Pa lage m' nan men lènmi m' yo. Yo soti pou yo touye m'. Se yon bann moun k'ap bay manti.
Giue me not vnto the lust of mine aduersaries: for there are false witnesses risen vp against me, and such as speake cruelly.
13 Mwen menm, mwen sèten m'a viv pou m' wè jan Bondye sèvi byen ak pèp li a.
I should haue fainted, except I had beleeued to see the goodnes of the Lord in the land of the liuing.
14 Mete espwa ou nan Seyè a! Gen konfyans, pa dekouraje! Wi, mete espwa ou nan Seyè a!
Hope in the Lord: be strong, and he shall comfort thine heart, and trust in the Lord.
