Sòm 41
1 Pou chèf sanba yo. Se yon sòm David. Ala bon sa bon pou moun ki pran ka pòv yo! Seyè a va delivre l' lè la nan tray.
To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. Blessed [is] he that considereth the poor: the LORD will deliver him in time of trouble.
2 Seyè a va pwoteje l', li p'ap kite l' mouri. L'ap fè l' viv ak kè kontan sou latè, li p'ap lage l' nan men lènmi l' yo pou yo fè sa yo vle avè l'.
The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive; [and] he shall be blessed upon the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him unto the will of his enemies.
3 Seyè a va ba l' fòs lè maladi fè l' pran kabann. Seyè a va ba l' gerizon lè li malad kouche.
The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: thou wilt make all his bed in his sickness.
4 Mwen menm, mwen te di: Seyè, gen pitye pou mwen. Geri mwen, paske mwen te peche kont ou.
I said, LORD, be merciful unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.
5 Lènmi m' yo ap pale m' mal. Y'ap di: Kilè l'a mouri? Kilè y'a bliye l'?
Mine enemies speak evil of me, When shall he die, and his name perish?
6 Moun ki vin wè m' yo, se yon bann ipokrit. Se ranmase yo vin ranmase tout kalite move nouvèl. Soti yo soti, yo pwonmennen rakonte yo toupatou.
And if he come to see [me], he speaketh vanity: his heart gathereth iniquity to itself; [when] he goeth abroad, he telleth [it].
7 Tout moun ki pa vle wè m' yo mete tèt yo ansanm pou pale nan zòrèy sou mwen. Yo kwè m' fini, nanpwen renmèd pou mwen. Y'ap fè yon pakèt vye lide sou mwen.
All that hate me whisper together against me: against me do they devise my hurt.
8 Y'ap di: Msye kondannen. Kote l' kouche a, nanpwen leve pou li ankò.
An evil disease, [say they], cleaveth fast unto him: and [now] that he lieth he shall rise up no more.
9 Ata pi bon zanmi m' lan, moun mwen te fè konfyans anpil la, moun ki te konn manje nan menm plat avè m' lan, ata li menm, li trayi m'.
Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, hath lifted up [his] heel against me.
10 Men ou menm, Seyè, gen pitye pou mwen. Mete m' sou de pye m' ankò, pou m' ka ba yo sa yo merite.
But thou, O LORD, be merciful unto me, and raise me up, that I may requite them.
11 M'a konnen ou kontan avè m' vre si m' wè lènmi m' yo pa banboche sou do m'.
By this I know that thou favourest me, because mine enemy doth not triumph over me.
12 Wi, w'ap soutni m', paske mwen pa fè anyen ki mal. W'ap fè m' kanpe la devan ou pou tout tan.
And as for me, thou upholdest me in mine integrity, and settest me before thy face for ever.
13 Ann fè lwanj Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la. Ann fè lwanj li pou tout tan. Amèn! Se vre!
Blessed [be] the LORD God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen.
