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.” Happy is he that careth for the poor: on the day of evil will the Lord deliver him.
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; he shall be made happy on the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him unto the revengeful desire 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 sustain him upon the bed of painful disease: thou changest all his couch 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 gracious 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'?
My enemies speak evil of me, When will 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 falsely: his heart gathereth wickedness to itself; he goeth abroad [and] speaketh 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.
Altogether whisper against me all that hate me: against me do they devise my injury.
8 Y'ap di: Msye kondannen. Kote l' kouche a, nanpwen leve pou li ankò.
“His godless deed [say they] is poured out over him: as he lieth there he will never more rise up again.”
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, even the man that should have sought my welfare, in whom I trusted, who eateth 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 gracious unto me, and raise me up, that I may requite it unto them.
11 M'a konnen ou kontan avè m' vre si m' wè lènmi m' yo pa banboche sou do m'.
By this do I know that thou art pleased with me, that my 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.
But as for me, thou upholdest me in my integrity, and placest me before thy presence 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 the God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen. BEGIM
