Sòm 39

1 Pou chèf sanba yo. Pou Jedoutoun. Se yon sòm David. Mwen te pwomèt mwen t'ap veye sou pawòl mwen, pou m' pa peche ak lang mwen. M'ap mete yon fren nan bouch mwen toutotan mechan yo va kanpe la devan mwen.

To the choirmaster (for Jeduthun *Q(K)*) a psalm of David. I said I will guard ways my from sinning with tongue my I will keep to mouth my a muzzle while still [the] wicked [is] to before me.

2 Mwen fèmen bouch mwen, mwen pa di yon mo, mwen pa pale menm. Sa pa sèvi m' anyen. Mwen soufri pi rèd.

I was dumb silence I was silent from good and pain my it was stirred up.

3 Kè m' te sere anpil. Plis mwen kalkile sou sa, se plis sa fatige m'. Mwen pa t' kapab ankò. Mwen mande:

It became hot heart my - in inner being my in sighing my it burned fire I spoke with tongue my.

4 Seyè, fè m' konnen kilè m'ap mouri. Di m' konbe jou ki rete m' pou m' viv ankò, pou m' ka konnen se pase m'ap pase sou tè a.

Make known to me O Yahweh - end my and [the] measure of days my what? [is] it let me know how! fleeting [am] I.

5 Gade, mwen konte jou ki rete m' pou m' viv yo sou dwèt mwen. Lavi m' tankou anyen devan ou. Wi, tout moun ki vivan, se tankou lafimen yo ye.

Here! handbreadths - you have made days my and lifespan my [is] like nothing before you [is] only all vanity all humankind [which] stands (Selah)

6 Lèzòm ap pwonmennen sou tè a tankou lonbray. Se pou gremesi y'ap bat kò yo. Y'ap anpile richès sou richès, yo pa konnen ki moun k'ap vin jwi yo.

Only an image - he goes about a person only vanity people are in turmoil! he heaps up and not he knows who? [will be] gathering them.

7 Koulye a, Seyè, sa m'ap tann ankò? Tout espwa m' se sou ou!

And now what? do I wait for O Lord hope my [is] to you it.

8 Delivre m' anba tout peche m' yo. Pa kite egare yo pase m' nan betiz.

From all transgressions my deliver me a reproach of [the] foolish may not you make me.

9 M'ap fèmen bouch mwen, mwen p'ap di yon mo. Paske tou sa se travay ou.

I am dumb not I open mouth my for you you have acted.

10 Tanpri, pa bat mwen ankò, sispann kale m'. Mwen prèt pou m' mouri anba kout fwèt ou yo.

Remove from on me plague your from [the] hostility of hand your I I have come to an end.

11 Lè w'ap korije moun ou pini yo pou fòt yo fè, ou detwi tou sa yo pi renmen tankou mit k'ap manje rad. Se vre wi, moun se tankou lafimen yo ye.

With rebukes on iniquity - you have disciplined a person and you have melted like moth desired [thing] his [is] only vanity all humankind (Selah)

12 Tanpri, Seyè, koute m' lè m'ap lapriyè. Tande jan m'ap rele, pa fèmen kè ou lè m'ap kriye nan pye ou. Mwen tankou tout zansèt mwen yo, se etranje mwen ye, se pase m'ap pase lakay ou.

Hear! prayer my - O Yahweh and cry for help my - give ear to! to tear[s] my may not you be silent for [am] a sojourner I with you a resident alien like all ancestors my.

13 Tanpri, wete je ou sou mwen, pou m' ka pran yon ti souf, anvan m' ale, anvan m' mouri.

Smear from me so let me be cheerful before I will go and there not [will be] me.
