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.
To him that excelleth. A Psalme of David. In thee, O Lord, haue I put my trust: let mee neuer be confounded: deliuer me in thy righteousnesse.
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'.
Bowe downe thine eare to me: make haste to deliuer mee: be vnto me a stronge rocke, and an house of defence to saue 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 rocke and my fortresse: therefore for thy Names sake direct mee and guide me.
4 Pa kite m' tonbe nan pèlen yo tann pou mwen an. Se ou menm k'ap pwoteje m'.
Drawe mee out of the nette, that they haue layde priuilie for mee: for thou art my strength.
5 Mwen renmèt lespri mwen nan men ou. W'a delivre m', Seyè, paske ou se yon Bondye ki kenbe pawòl li.
Into thine hand I commend my spirit: for thou hast redeemed me, O Lord God of trueth.
6 Ou rayi moun k'ap adore zidòl. Pou mwen menm, tout konfyans mwen se nan ou li ye.
I haue hated them that giue them selues to deceitfull vanities: for I trust 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 wil be glad and reioyce in thy mercie: for thou hast seene my trouble: thou hast knowen my soule in aduersities,
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 vp in the hand of the enemie, but hast set my feete at large.
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.
Haue mercie vpon mee, O Lord: for I am in trouble: mine eye, my soule and my bellie are consumed with griefe.
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 heauinesse, and my yeeres with mourning: my strength faileth for my paine, and my bones are consumed.
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 was a reproch among all mine enemies, but specially among my neighbours: and a feare to mine acquaintance, who seeing me in the streete, 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 a dead man out of minde: I am like a broken vessell.
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 haue heard the rayling of great men: feare was on euery side, while they conspired together against mee, and consulted to take my life.
14 Men, Seyè, se nan ou mwen mete tou konfyans mwen. Se ou ki Bondye mwen.
But I trusted 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 times are in thine hande: deliuer mee from the hande of mine 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 vpon thy seruant, and saue me through thy mercie.
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 haue called vpon thee: let the wicked bee put to confusion, and to silence in the graue. (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 the lying lips be made dumme, which cruelly, proudly and spitefully speake against the righteous.
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!
Howe great is thy goodnesse, which thou hast layde vp for them, that feare thee! and done to them, that trust in thee, euen before the sonnes 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 doest hide them priuily in thy presence from the pride of men: thou keepest them secretly in thy Tabernacle from the strife 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 hee hath shewed his marueilous kindenesse toward me in a strong citie.
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.
Though I said in mine haste, I am cast out of thy sight, yet thou heardest the voyce of my prayer, when I cryed vnto 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.
Loue ye the Lord all his Saintes: for the Lord preserueth the faithfull, and rewardeth abundantly the proud doer.
24 Nou tout ki met espwa nou nan Seyè a, pran kouraj, kenbe fèm.
All ye that trust in the Lord, be strong, and he shall establish your heart.
