< Sòm 55 >
1 Pou chèf sanba yo. Se sou enstriman mizik akòd pou yo jwe mizik la. Se yon chante David. Bondye, panche zòrèy ou bò kote m'! Koute m' non lè m'ap lapriyè! Piga ou vire do ban mwen lè m'ap rele nan pye ou!
To him that excelleth on Neginoth. A Psalme of David to give instruction. Heare my prayer, O God, and hide not thy selfe from my supplication.
2 Pran ka mwen, koute m', reponn mwen non! Kè m' sere, m'ap plenn!
Hearken vnto me, and answere me: I mourne in my prayer, and make a noyse,
3 Mwen boulvèse lè m' tande lènmi m' yo ap pale, lè m' tande mechan yo ap pale byen fò. Yo fè malè tonbe sou mwen. Yo move sou mwen, y'ap pèsekite m'.
For the voyce of the enemie, and for the vexation of ye wicked, because they haue brought iniquitie vpon me, and furiously hate me.
4 Mwen santi kè m' kase. Sezisman pran m' lè m' wè mwen fin mouri.
Mine heart trembleth within mee, and the terrours of death are fallen vpon me.
5 Tout kò m' ap tranble tèlman mwen sezi.
Feare and trembling are come vpon mee, and an horrible feare hath couered me.
6 Mwen di konsa: -Pa pito m' te gen zèl tankou yon toutrèl! Mwen ta vole ale. Mwen ta jwenn kote pou m' pran repo.
And I said, Oh that I had wings like a doue: then would I flie away and rest.
7 Mwen ta kouri pati ale byen lwen. Mwen t'aval rete pou kont mwen nan dezè a.
Beholde, I woulde take my flight farre off, and lodge in the wildernes. (Selah)
8 Mwen ta prese jwenn yon kote pou m' kache pou gwo van an, pou gwo lapli a pa fè m' anyen.
Hee would make haste for my deliuerance from the stormie winde and tempest.
9 Seyè, mele yo. Fè yonn pa konprann sa lòt ap di. Paske, sa m' wè nan lavil la se chen manje chen, yonn ap goumen ak lòt.
Destroy, O Lord, and deuide their tongues: for I haue seene crueltie and strife in the citie.
10 Lajounen kou lannwit se sa ase ou tande nan lavil la. Anndan lavil la menm, se mechanste, se malfezans.
Day and night they goe about it vpon the walles thereof: both iniquitie and mischiefe are in the middes of it.
11 Kote ou pase se moun k'ap kraze brize. Nan tout lari se fè moun lenjistis, se twonpe moun.
Wickednes is in the middes thereof: deceit and guile depart not from her streetes.
12 Si se te yon moun ki rayi m' ki t'ap pale m' mal, mwen ta reziyen m'. Si se te yon moun ki pa vle wè m' ki te leve dèyè mwen, mwen ta kache kò m' pou l' pa jwenn mwen.
Surely mine enemie did not defame mee: for I could haue borne it: neither did mine aduersarie exalt himselfe against mee: for I would haue hid me from him.
13 Men, se ou menm, kanmarad mwen, yon bon zanmi m' ki te konn tout ti zafè m'.
But it was thou, O man, euen my companion, my guide and my familiar:
14 Nou te konn fè ti koze nou ansanm. Nou te konn al lakay Bondye a ansanm ak foul moun yo.
Which delited in consulting together, and went into the House of God as companions.
15 Se pou yo rete konsa, yo tonbe yo mouri. Se pou yo desann tou vivan kote mò yo ye a, paske mechanste a kaye lakay yo, li nan fon kè yo. (Sheol )
Let death sense vpon them: let them goe downe quicke into the graue: for wickednes is in their dwellings, euen in the middes of them. (Sheol )
16 Men, mwen rele Seyè a, Bondye mwen; l'a delivre mwen.
But I will call vnto God, and the Lord will saue me.
17 Maten, midi, aswè, m'ap plenyen, m'ap plenn. L'a tande vwa mwen.
Euening and morning, and at noone will I pray, and make a noyse, and he wil heare my voice.
18 L'a fè m' viv ak kè poze, l'a delivre m' nan batay m'ap mennen ak moun ki leve dèyè m' yo. Yo te mèt anpil.
He hath deliuered my soule in peace from the battel, that was against me: for many were with me.
19 Bondye k'ap gouvènen depi tout tan an va koute m', l'a kraze lògèy yo. Paske, yo p'ap janm chanje, yo pa gen krentif pou Bondye.
God shall heare and afflict them, euen hee that reigneth of olde, (Selah) because they haue no changes, therefore they feare not God.
20 Moun ki leve men sou zanmi yo se moun ki trèt.
Hee layed his hande vpon such, as be at peace with him, and he brake his couenant.
21 Pawòl nan bouch yo pi dous pase siwo. Men, nan fon kè yo se yon sèl bagay yo konnen: se goumen. Pawòl yo koule dous tankou lwil, men lang yo se razwa.
The wordes of his mouth were softer then butter, yet warre was in his heart: his words were more gentle then oyle, yet they were swordes.
22 Renmèt sò ou nan men Seyè a, l'a kenbe ou fèm. Li p'ap janm kite moun ki mache dwat devan li yo rete atè lè yo tonbe.
Cast thy burden vpon the Lord, and hee shall nourish thee: he wil not suffer the righteous to fall for euer.
23 Men ou menm, Bondye, w'ap fè bann ansasen sa yo ak bann vòlè sa yo desann anba tè. Yo p'ap wè mwatye nan lavi yo. Men, mwen menm, se nan ou m'ap mete tout konfyans mwen.
And thou, O God, shalt bring them downe into the pitte of corruption: the bloudie, and deceitfull men shall not liue halfe their dayes: but I will trust in thee.
