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.
For David himself. Judge thou, O Lord, them that wrong me: overthrow them that fight against me.
2 Pran zam ou sèvi pou pare kou a, leve non, vin pote m' sekou.
Take hold of arms and shield: and rise up to help me.
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 out the sword, and shut up the way against them that persecute me: say to my soul: I am thy 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 be confounded and ashamed that seek after my soul. Let them be turned back and be confounded that devise against me.
5 Se pou yo tankou pay van ap pote ale, lè zanj Bondye a ap kouri dèyè yo.
Let them become as dust before the wind: and let the angel of the Lord straiten 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 become dark and slippery; and let the angel of the Lord pursue 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 hidden their net for me unto destruction: without cause they have upbraided 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 the snare which he knoweth not come upon him: and let the net which he hath hidden catch him: and let the net which he hath hidden catch him: and into that very snare let them fall.
9 Se konsa Seyè a pral fè kè m' kontan, m'ap kontan anpil, paske li delivre mwen.
But my soul shall rejoice in the Lord; and shall be delighted 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: Lord, who is like to thee? Who deliverest the poor from the hand of them that are stronger than he; the needy and the poor from them that strip 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 rising up have asked me things I knew not.
12 Moun mwen fè byen se yo k'ap fè m' mal. Mwen fin dekouraje.
They repaid me evil for good: to the depriving me of 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 as for me, when they were troublesome to me, I was clothed with haircloth. I humbled my soul with fasting; and my prayer shall be turned into my 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'.
As a neighbour and as an own brother, so did I please: as one mourning and sorrowful so was I humbled.
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.
But they rejoiced against me, and came together: scourges were gathered together upon me, and I knew not.
16 Yo atake m', yo pase m' nan betiz. Y'ap gade m', y'ap griyen dan sou mwen.
They were separated, and repented not: they tempted me, they scoffed at me with scorn: they gnashed upon me with their teeth.
17 Seyè, pou konbe tan ankò w'a penmèt sa? Pwoteje m' non anba bèt sovaj sa yo. Sove m' anba lyon sa yo.
Lord, when wilt thou look upon me? rescue thou soul from their malice: my only 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 thee in a great church; I will praise thee in a strong people.
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 my enemies wrongfully rejoice over me: who have hated me without cause, and wink with the 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 they spoke indeed peaceably to me; and speaking in the anger of the earth they devised guile.
21 Yo louvri bouch yo byen laj pou bay manti sou mwen. Y'ap di: -Wi! Nou te wè ou!
And they opened their mouth wide against me; they said: Well done, well done, 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.
Thou hast seen, O Lord, be not thou silent: O Lord, depart not from me.
23 Leve non, Seyè, vin pran defans mwen! Leve non, Bondye mwen, vin plede kòz mwen!
Arise, and be attentive to my judgment: 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 my God according to thy justice, and let them not rejoice over 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: It is well, it is well, to our mind: neither let them say: We have swallowed him up.
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 blush: and be ashamed together, who rejoice at my evils. Let them be clothed with confusion and shame, who speak great things 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 rejoice and be glad, who are well pleased with my justice, and let them say always: The Lord be magnified, who delights in the peace of his servant.
28 Lè sa a, m'a fè konnen jistis ou, m'a fè lwanj ou tout lajounen.
Any my tongue shall meditate thy justice, thy praise all the day long.
