Sòm 35
1 Se yon sòm David. Seyè, atake moun ki pa vle wè m' yo, goumen ak moun k'ap fè m' lagè yo.
[A Psalm] of David. Judge you, O Lord, them that injure me, fight against them that fight against me.
2 Pran zam ou sèvi pou pare kou a, leve non, vin pote m' sekou.
Take hold of shield and buckler, and arise for my help.
3 Pran fwenn ou, pran rach ou. Atake moun k'ap pousib mwen yo. Fè m' konnen se ou menm k'ap delivre m'.
Bring forth a sword, and stop [the way] against them that persecute me: say to my soul, I am your salvation.
4 Se pou moun k'ap chache touye m' yo sezi, se pou yo wont. Se pou moun k'ap fè konplo sou mwen yo rale kò yo dèyè. Se pou yo pa ka leve tèt yo.
Let them that seek my soul be ashamed and confounded: let them that devise evils against me be turned back and put to shame.
5 Se pou yo tankou pay van ap pote ale, lè zanj Bondye a ap kouri dèyè yo.
Let them be as dust before the wind, and an angel of the Lord afflicting them.
6 Se pou fènwa bare wout yo, pou chemen an glise anba pye yo, lè zanj Bondye a ap talonnen yo.
Let their way be dark and slippery, and an angel of the Lord persecuting them.
7 San m' pa fè yo anyen, y'ap tann pèlen pou mwen. San m' pa fè yo anyen, y'ap fouye yon twou byen fon pou m' ka tonbe ladan l'.
For without cause they have hid for me their destructive snare: without a cause they have reproached my soul.
8 Men, y'ap rete konsa, malè ap tonbe sou yo, y'ap pran nan pèlen yo te tann lan, y'ap tonbe nan twou yo te fouye a.
Let a snare which they know not come upon them; and the gin which they hid take them; and let them fall into the very same snare.
9 Se konsa Seyè a pral fè kè m' kontan, m'ap kontan anpil, paske li delivre mwen.
But my soul shall exult in the Lord: it shall delight in his salvation.
10 M'a di ak tout kè mwen: -Seyè, pa gen tankou ou! Ou delivre fèb yo anba moun ki gen fòs pase yo. Ou delivre pòv yo ak malere yo anba moun k'ap piye yo.
All my bones shall say, O Lord, who is like to you? delivering the poor out of the hand of them that are stronger than he, yes, the poor and needy one from them that spoil him.
11 Gen moun k'ap kanpe bay manti sou mwen. Yo di mwen fè yon pakèt bagay mwen pa janm konnen mwen fè.
Unjust witnesses arose, and asked me of things I new not.
12 Moun mwen fè byen se yo k'ap fè m' mal. Mwen fin dekouraje.
They rewarded me evil for good, and bereavement to my soul.
13 Lè yo te malad, mwen te pran gwo lapenn pou yo, mwen rete san manje. Mwen bese tèt mwen pou mwen lapriyè pou yo,
But I, when they troubled me, put on sackcloth, and humbled my soul with fasting: and my prayer shall return to my [own] bosom.
14 menm jan mwen ta lapriyè pou yon zanmi osinon pou yon frè. M'ap mache do ba ak gwo lapenn nan kè m', tankou yon moun ki pèdi manman l'.
I behaved agreeably towards them as [if it had been] our neighbour [or] brother: I humbled myself as one mourning and sad of countenance.
15 Men, lè mwen menm mwen nan tray, yo tout yo kontan, yo mete tèt yo ansanm. Y'ap fè pil dèyè do m' pou bay manti sou mwen. Y'ap kale do m' san pran souf.
Yet they rejoiced against me, and plagues were plentifully brought against me, and I knew [it] not: they were scattered, but repented not.
16 Yo atake m', yo pase m' nan betiz. Y'ap gade m', y'ap griyen dan sou mwen.
They tempted me, they sneered at me most contemptuously, they gnashed their teeth upon me.
17 Seyè, pou konbe tan ankò w'a penmèt sa? Pwoteje m' non anba bèt sovaj sa yo. Sove m' anba lyon sa yo.
O Lord, when will you look upon me? Deliver my soul from their mischief, mine only-begotten one from the lions.
18 M'a di ou mèsi nan mitan tout moun lè yo reyini, m'a fè lwanj ou devan yon gwo foul moun.
I will give thanks to you even in a great congregation: in an abundant people I will praise you.
19 Pa kite lènmi m' yo, bann mantò sa yo, fè fèt sou tèt mwen. Pa kite moun sa yo ki rayi m' san m' pa fè yo anyen an fè siy sou mwen.
Let not them that are mine enemies without a cause rejoice against me; who hate me for nothing, and wink with their eyes.
20 Yo pale tankou moun k'ap chache kont. Y'ap kalkile tout kalite manti pou yo fè sou moun ki pa nan kont ak pesonn nan peyi a.
For to me they spoke peaceably, but imagined deceits in [their] anger.
21 Yo louvri bouch yo byen laj pou bay manti sou mwen. Y'ap di: -Wi! Nou te wè ou!
And they opened wide their mouth upon me; they said Aha, aha, our eyes have seen [it].
22 Men ou menm, Seyè, ou wè tout bagay. Pa rete san ou pa di anyen nan sa, Seyè! Pa rete lwen m' konsa.
You have seen [it], O Lord: keep not silence: O Lord, withdraw not [yourself] from me.
23 Leve non, Seyè, vin pran defans mwen! Leve non, Bondye mwen, vin plede kòz mwen!
Awake, O Lord, and attend to my judgement, [even] to my cause, my God and my Lord.
24 Ou pa nan patipri, Seyè. Fè m' jistis. Pa kite lènmi m' yo fè fèt sou tèt mwen.
Judge me, O Lord, according to your righteousness, O Lord my God; and let them not rejoice against me.
25 Pa kite yo di nan kè yo: -Wi! se sa menm nou te vle rive li! Pa kite yo di: -Nou fini avè l'!
Let them not say in their hearts, Aha, aha, [it is pleasing] to our soul: neither let them say, We have devoured him.
26 Tout moun ki kontan wè jan m'ap soufri a, se pou yo wont jouk yo pa konn sa pou yo fè. Se pou moun k'ap gonfle lestonmak yo sou mwen pèdi fil, se pou yo kouri al kache!
Let them be confounded and ashamed together that rejoice at my afflictions: let them be clothed with shame and confusion that speak great swelling words against me.
27 Se pou moun ki kontan wè jan m' inonsan an pran rele byen fò san rete. Se pou yo di: -Seyè a gen gwo pouvwa! Li vle pou sèvitè li viv ak kè poze.
Let them that rejoice in my righteousness exult and be glad: and let them say continually, The Lord be magnified, who desire the peace of his servant.
28 Lè sa a, m'a fè konnen jistis ou, m'a fè lwanj ou tout lajounen.
And my tongue shall meditate on your righteousness, [and] on your praise all the day.
