Sòm 52
1 Pou chèf sanba yo. Se yon chante David te ekri lè Doèg, moun peyi Edon, te al pote rapò bay Sayil pou fè l' konnen David te al kache lakay Akimelèk. Poukisa, ou menm gwo chèf, w'ap vante tèt ou konsa lè ou fè sa ki mal! renmen Bondye a pa janm chanje.
For the choirmaster. A Maskil of David. After Doeg the Edomite went to Saul and told him, “David has gone to the house of Ahimelech.” Why do you boast of evil, O mighty man? The loving devotion of God endures all day long.
2 W'ap kalkile ki jan pou fè moun mal. Lang ou tankou yon razwa byen file, ou toujou ap fè manti sou moun.
Your tongue devises destruction like a sharpened razor, O worker of deceit.
3 Ou pito fè mal pase pou ou fè byen. Ou pito bay manti pase ou di verite.
You love evil more than good, falsehood more than speaking truth.
4 Ou renmen di pawòl ki pou fè moun mal, lang vipè!
You love every word that devours, O deceitful tongue.
5 Se poutèt sa, Bondye gen pou fini nèt avè ou, l'ap mete men sou ou, l'ap rale ou soti anndan kay ou. L'ap wete ou nan mitan moun ki vivan yo.
Surely God will bring you down to everlasting ruin; He will snatch you up and tear you away from your tent; He will uproot you from the land of the living.
6 Moun k'ap mache dwat yo va wè sa, y'a gen krentif pou Bondye. Men y'a pase ou nan betiz, y'a di:
The righteous will see and fear; they will mock the evildoer, saying,
7 Men moun ki te derefize chache pwoteksyon bò kot Bondye a. Li te pito mete tout konfyans li nan gwo richès li yo. Li te pito ap fè grandizè pou sa li fè ki mal.
“Look at the man who did not make God his refuge, but trusted in the abundance of his wealth and strengthened himself by destruction.”
8 Men, mwen tankou yon bèl pye oliv tou vèt nan kay Bondye a. M'ap toujou mete tout konfyans mwen nan li, paske li p'ap janm sispann renmen mwen.
But I am like an olive tree flourishing in the house of God; I trust in the loving devotion of God forever and ever.
9 M'ap toujou di ou mèsi pou sa ou fè, Bondye. Tout espwa mwen se nan ou li ye. M'ap kanpe nan mitan moun k'ap sevi ou yo pou m' fè konnen jan ou bon.
I will praise You forever, because You have done it. I will wait on Your name— for it is good— in the presence of Your saints.
