Sòm 31
1 Pou chèf sanba yo. Se yon sòm David. Seyè, m'ap chache pwoteksyon anba zèl ou! Pa janm kite m' pran wont ankò. Ou se yon Bondye ki pa nan patipri. Tanpri, delivre mwen.
Unto the end, a psalm for David, in an ecstasy. In thee, O Lord, have I hoped, let me never be confounded: deliver me in thy justice.
2 Panche zòrèy ou bò kote m', prese vin delivre mwen. Se ou menm ki twou wòch kote m' ka jwenn pwoteksyon. Se ou menm ki pou sèvi m' ranpa. Se ou menm ki pou delivre m'.
Bow down thy ear to me: make haste to deliver me. Be thou unto me a God, a protector, and a house of refuge, to save me.
3 Se ou ki tout pwoteksyon mwen, tout defans mwen. Tanpri, dirije m', kondi m' poutèt non ou pote a.
For thou art my strength and my refuge; and for thy name’s sake thou wilt lead me, and nourish me.
4 Pa kite m' tonbe nan pèlen yo tann pou mwen an. Se ou menm k'ap pwoteje m'.
Thou wilt bring me out of this snare, which they have hidden for me: for thou art my protector.
5 Mwen renmèt lespri mwen nan men ou. W'a delivre m', Seyè, paske ou se yon Bondye ki kenbe pawòl li.
Into thy hands I commend my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O Lord, the God of truth.
6 Ou rayi moun k'ap adore zidòl. Pou mwen menm, tout konfyans mwen se nan ou li ye.
Thou hast hated them that regard vanities, to no purpose. But I have hoped in the Lord:
7 M'ap kontan, m'ap fè fèt, paske ou renmen m'. Ou wè jan m'ap soufri, ou konnen nan ki pwoblèm mwen ye.
I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy. For thou best regarded my humility, thou hast saved my soul out of distresses.
8 Ou pa kite lènmi m' yo mete men sou mwen, ou mete m' yon kote pou anyen pa rive m'.
And thou hast not shut me up in the hands of the enemy: thou hast set my feet in a spacious place.
9 Gen pitye pou mwen, Seyè, paske mwen anba tray. Figi m' fin rale, mwen kagou. Kò m' ap fin deperi afòs mwen gen lapenn.
Have mercy on me, O Lord, for I am afflicted: my eye is troubled with wrath, my soul, and my belly:
10 Mwen pase tout lavi m' ap soufri, se tout tan m'ap plenn. Mwen santi m'ap febli paske mwen fè twòp move bagay. Tout zo nan kò m' ap fè m' mal.
For my life is wasted with grief: and my years in sighs. My strength is weakened through poverty and my bones are disturbed.
11 Tout lènmi m' yo ap pase m' nan rizib. Vwazen m' yo ap pase m' nan betiz. Tout moun ki konnen m' yo pè m'. Lè yo wè m' nan lari, yo kouri pou mwen.
I am become a reproach among all my enemies, and very much to my neighbours; and a fear to my acquaintance. They that saw me without fled from me.
12 Tout moun gen tan bliye m', tankou si m' te mouri deja. Mwen tankou yon vye bagay yo voye jete.
I am forgotten as one dead from the heart. I am become as a vessel that is destroyed.
13 Mwen tande jan anpil moun ap pale m' mal. Kote m' pase mwen pè. Yo mete tèt yo ansanm sou do m', y'ap fè konplo pou yo touye m'.
For I have heard the blame of many that dwell round about. While they assembled together against me, they consulted to take away my life.
14 Men, Seyè, se nan ou mwen mete tou konfyans mwen. Se ou ki Bondye mwen.
But I have put my trust in thee, O Lord: I said: Thou art my God.
15 Lavi m' nan men ou. Delivre m' anba lènmi m' yo, anba moun k'ap pèsekite m' yo.
My lots are in thy hands. Deliver me out of the hands of my enemies; and from them that persecute me.
16 Se sèvi m'ap sèvi ou, tanpri, fè m' santi ou la avèk mwen. Delivre m', paske ou renmen m'.
Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; save me in thy mercy.
17 M'ap rele ou, Seyè. Pa kite m' pran wont. Se mechan yo ki pou wont. Se pou yo mouri san di krik. (Sheol h7585)
Let me not be confounded, O Lord, for I have called upon thee. Let the wicked be ashamed, and be brought down to hell. (Sheol h7585)
18 Se pou yo rete san pale, moun sa yo k'ap bay manti, tout moun sa yo k'ap fè grandizè yo, k'ap fè awogans, k'ap pale mal sou moun k'ap mache dwat devan Bondye yo.
Let deceitful lips be made dumb. Which speak iniquity against the just, with pride and abuse.
19 Ala bon yo bon, bagay ou kenbe an rezèv pou moun ki gen krentif pou ou! Ala bèl yo bèl, bagay ou fè devan tout moun, lè w'ap pwoteje moun k'ap chache pwoteksyon anba zèl ou!
O how great is the multitude of thy sweetness, O Lord, which thou hast hidden for them that fear thee! Which thou hast wrought for them that hope in thee, in the sight of the sons of men.
20 Ou kenbe yo la devan je ou, pou ou ka pwoteje yo anba moun k'ap pèsekite yo. Ou kache yo lakay ou pou yo pa fini ak yo anba kout lang.
Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy face, from the disturbance of men. Thou shalt protect them in thy tabernacle from the contradiction of tongues.
21 Lwanj pou Seyè a! Ala bèl bagay li fè pou l' moutre jan l' renmen mwen, lè m' te anba tray, lè yo te sènen m' toupatou a!
Blessed be the Lord, for he hath shewn his wonderful mercy to me in a fortified city.
22 Mwen te pè, mwen t'ap di nan kè m': -Gen lè ou voye m' jete byen lwen ou. Men, ou te tande rèl mwen, lè m' t'ap mande ou sekou.
But I said in the excess of my mind: I am cast away from before thy eyes. Therefore thou hast heard the voice of my prayer, when I cried to thee.
23 Nou tout k'ap sèvi Seyè a, se pou nou renmen l'. Wi, Seyè a pwoteje tout moun ki kenbe fèm nan li. Men, se pa ti pini l'ap pini moun k'ap vante tèt yo.
O love the Lord, all ye his saints: for the Lord will require truth, and will repay them abundantly that act proudly.
24 Nou tout ki met espwa nou nan Seyè a, pran kouraj, kenbe fèm.
Do ye manfully, and let your heart be strengthened, all ye that hope in the Lord.
