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 chief Musician on Neginoth, Maschil, A Psalm of David. Give ear to my prayer, O God; and hide not thyself from my supplication.
2 Pran ka mwen, koute m', reponn mwen non! Kè m' sere, m'ap plenn!
Attend to me, and hear me: I mourn in my complaint, and make a noise;
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'.
Because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked: for they cast iniquity upon me, and in wrath they hate me.
4 Mwen santi kè m' kase. Sezisman pran m' lè m' wè mwen fin mouri.
My heart is greatly pained within me: and the terrors of death have fallen upon me.
5 Tout kò m' ap tranble tèlman mwen sezi.
Fearfulness and trembling have come upon me, and horror hath overwhelmed 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, O that I had wings like a dove! for then I would fly away, and be at rest.
7 Mwen ta kouri pati ale byen lwen. Mwen t'aval rete pou kont mwen nan dezè a.
Lo, then I would wander far off, and remain 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 would hasten my escape from the windy storm 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 divide their tongues: 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.
Day and night they go about her upon her walls: mischief also and sorrow are in her midst.
11 Kote ou pase se moun k'ap kraze brize. Nan tout lari se fè moun lenjistis, se twonpe moun.
Wickedness is in her midst: deceit and guile depart not from her streets.
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 it was not an enemy that reproached me; then I could have borne it: neither was it he that hated me that magnified himself against me; then I would have hid myself from him:
13 Men, se ou menm, kanmarad mwen, yon bon zanmi m' ki te konn tout ti zafè m'.
But it was thou, a man my equal, my guide, and my acquaintance.
14 Nou te konn fè ti koze nou ansanm. Nou te konn al lakay Bondye a ansanm ak foul moun yo.
We took sweet counsel together, and walked to the house of God in company.
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)
Let death seize upon them, and let them go down alive into hell: for wickedness is in their dwellings, and among them. (Sheol h7585)
16 Men, mwen rele Seyè a, Bondye mwen; l'a delivre mwen.
As for me, I will call upon God; and the LORD shall save me.
17 Maten, midi, aswè, m'ap plenyen, m'ap plenn. L'a tande vwa mwen.
Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear 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 delivered my soul in peace from the battle that was against me: for there were many 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 hear, and afflict them, even he that abideth of old. (Selah) Because they have no changes, therefore they fear not God.
20 Moun ki leve men sou zanmi yo se moun ki trèt.
He hath put forth his hands against such as are at peace with him: he hath broken his covenant.
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 words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart: his words were softer than oil, yet were they 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 thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never allow the righteous to be moved.
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.
But thou, O God, shalt bring them down into the pit of destruction: bloody and deceitful men shall not live out half their days; but I will trust in thee.
