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 the choirmaster with stringed instruments a poem of David. Give ear to! O God prayer my and may not you hide yourself from supplication my.
2 Pran ka mwen, koute m', reponn mwen non! Kè m' sere, m'ap plenn!
Pay attention! to me and answer me I am restless in complaint my and I am distraught.
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'.
From [the] sound of an enemy because of [the] pressure of [the] wicked for they drop on me wickedness and in anger they are hostile to me.
4 Mwen santi kè m' kase. Sezisman pran m' lè m' wè mwen fin mouri.
Heart my it trembles within me and [the] terrors of death they have fallen on me.
5 Tout kò m' ap tranble tèlman mwen sezi.
Fear and trembling it comes on me and it has covered me shuddering.
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 who? will he give [will belong] to me wing[s] like dove I want to fly away and I want to settle down.
7 Mwen ta kouri pati ale byen lwen. Mwen t'aval rete pou kont mwen nan dezè a.
Here! I want to be far away [surely] to flee I want to lodge in the wilderness (Selah)
8 Mwen ta prese jwenn yon kote pou m' kache pou gwo van an, pou gwo lapli a pa fè m' anyen.
I want to make haste a place of escape of me from a wind rushing from a storm.
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.
Confuse O Lord divide tongue their for I have seen violence and strife in the city.
10 Lajounen kou lannwit se sa ase ou tande nan lavil la. Anndan lavil la menm, se mechanste, se malfezans.
By day and night they go around it on walls its and wickedness and trouble [are] in midst its.
11 Kote ou pase se moun k'ap kraze brize. Nan tout lari se fè moun lenjistis, se twonpe moun.
Destruction [are] in midst its and not it departs from public square its oppression and deceit.
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.
For not an enemy he taunts me and I may endure not [one who] hates me on me he magnified himself then I may hide myself from him.
13 Men, se ou menm, kanmarad mwen, yon bon zanmi m' ki te konn tout ti zafè m'.
And you a man according to value my close friend my and acquaintance my.
14 Nou te konn fè ti koze nou ansanm. Nou te konn al lakay Bondye a ansanm ak foul moun yo.
Who together we made sweet counsel in [the] house of God we walked about in a crowd.
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 h7585)
(May it deceive death - *Q(K)*) on them may they go down Sheol alive for evil deeds [are] in sojourning-place their in inner being their. (Sheol h7585)
16 Men, mwen rele Seyè a, Bondye mwen; l'a delivre mwen.
I to God I will call out and Yahweh he will save me.
17 Maten, midi, aswè, m'ap plenyen, m'ap plenn. L'a tande vwa mwen.
Evening and morning and noon I will complain and I may murmur and he heard voice my.
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 will ransom in peace life my from battle to me for many [people] they are 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.
He will hear - God - and he will answer them and [the one who] sits antiquity (Selah) whom not changes [belong] to them and not they fear God.
20 Moun ki leve men sou zanmi yo se moun ki trèt.
He stretched out hands his on allies his he violated covenant his.
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.
They were smooth - [the] creamy things of mouth his and [was] war heart his they were soft words his more than oil and they [were] drawn swords.
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 on Yahweh - burden your and he he will sustain you not he will permit for ever to shake to the righteous.
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 you O God - you will bring down them - to [the] pit of [the] pit people of blood and deceit not they will divide in half days their and I I will trust in you.
