Sòm 32
1 Se yon kantik David. Ala bon sa bon pou yon moun lè Bondye pa gade sou fòt li fè, lè Bondye padonnen peche l' yo!
To David himself, understanding. Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.
2 Ala bon sa bon pou yon moun lè Seyè a pa mande l' kont pou sa li fè ki mal, lè li pa gen okenn lide twonpe Bondye!
Blessed is the man to whom the Lord hath not imputed sin, and in whose spirit there is no guile.
3 Tank mwen pa t' ankò vle rekonèt peche m' yo, mwen t'ap cheche sou pye. Tout lajounen, mwen t'ap plenn.
Because I was silent my bones grew old; whilst I cried out all the day long.
4 Lajounen kou lannwit ou t'ap kale m', Seyè. Mwen fin rann tout ji mwen, tankou tè sèk nan sezon chalè.
For day and night thy hand was heavy upon me: I am turned in my anguish, whilst the thorn is fastened.
5 Lè sa a, mwen rekonèt peche m' yo devan ou, mwen pa t' kache ou sa m' te fè ki mal. Mwen di: M'ap rakonte Seyè a tout bagay. Apre sa, ou te padonnen tout peche m' yo.
I have acknowledged my sin to thee, and my injustice I have not concealed. I said I will confess against myself my injustice to the Lord: and thou hast forgiven the wickedness of my sin.
6 Se konsa, moun k'ap sèvi ou ak tout kè yo gen pou lapriyè ou lè yo nan tray. Si yo nan gwo dlo, anyen p'ap rive yo.
For this shall every one that is holy pray to thee in a seasonable time. And yet in a flood of many waters, they shall not come nigh unto him.
7 Se bò kote ou mwen vin kache. Jou malè w'ap delivre m'. M'ap chante fè konnen jan ou pwoteje m'.
Thou art my refuge from the trouble which hath encompassed me: my joy, deliver me from them that surround me.
8 Seyè a di: M'a louvri lespri ou sou anpil bagay. M'a moutre ou chemen pou ou swiv la. M'a ba ou bon konsèy. M'ap voye je sou ou.
I will give thee understanding, and I will instruct thee in this way, in which thou shalt go: I will fix my eyes upon thee.
9 Pa fè tankou chwal osinon tankou milèt ki san konprann. Yo blije mete bosal ak brid nan bouch yo pou donte yo. Si se pa sa, ou pa ka pwoche bò kote yo.
Do not become like the horse and the mule, who have no understanding. With bit and bridle bind fast their jaws, who come not near unto thee.
10 Mechan yo gen pou yo soufri anpil. Men, Seyè a ap toujou pwoteje moun ki met konfyans yo nan li paske li renmen yo.
Many are the scourges of the sinner, but mercy shall encompass him that hopeth in the Lord.
11 Nou tout k'ap viv jan Bondye vle l' la, fè kè nou kontan, chante pou sa Seyè a fè pou nou. Nou tout k'ap mache dwat devan Bondye, rele, fè wè jan nou kontan.
Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, ye just, and glory, all ye right of heart.
