Sòm 69
1 Pou chèf sanba yo. Se pou yo chante l' sou menm lè ak chante ki di: Bèl flè savann blan yo. Se yon sòm David. Delivre m' non, Bondye. Dlo prèt pou neye mwen.
Save me, O God; for the waters are come in unto my soul.
2 M'ap desann nan fon yon ma labou. Mwen pa ka pran pye. Mwen nan yon gwo basen byen fon. Dlo prèt pou kouvri tèt mwen.
I sink in deep mire, where there is no standing: I am come into deep waters, where the floods overflow me.
3 Mwen bouke rele, mwen pa kapab ankò. Gòj mwen ap fè mwen mal. Je m' yo ap boule m' sitèlman m'ap veye tann sekou Bondye mwen an.
I am weary of my crying: my throat is dried: mine eyes fail while I wait for my God.
4 Gen yon bann moun ki rayi m' san m' pa fè yo anyen. Yo pi plis pase cheve nan tèt mwen. Gen yon seri moun ki rete konsa yo fè m' lènmi, yo pi fò pase m', y'ap chache touye mwen. Yo fè m' renmèt sa m' pa pran.
They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of mine head: they that would destroy me, being mine enemies wrongfully, are mighty: then I restored that which I took not away.
5 Bondye, mwen pa kapab kache peche m' yo devan ou. Ou konnen jan m' te aji tankou moun fou.
O God, you know my foolishness; and my sins are not hid from you.
6 Seyè, Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a, pa kite m' tounen yon wont pou moun ki mete konfyans yo nan ou. Ou menm ki Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, pa kite m' fè moun k'ap sèvi ou yo wont.
Let not them that wait on you, O Lord GOD of hosts, be ashamed for my sake: let not those that seek you be confounded for my sake, O God of Israel.
7 Se poutèt ou y'ap joure m' konsa. Wi, se poutèt ou lawont fè m' kache figi m'.
Because for your sake I have borne reproach; shame has covered my face.
8 Mwen tounen yon etranje pou pwòp frè m' yo, yon moun deyò pou pwòp pitit manman m' yo.
I am become a stranger unto my brethren, and an foreigner unto my mother's children.
9 Mwen sitèlman renmen kay ou a, sa fè m' santi se tankou yon dife k'ap boule tout anndan mwen. Tout joure y'ap joure ou yo, se tankou si se mwen menm menm yo t'ap joure.
For the zeal of your house has eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached you are fallen upon me.
10 Mwen nan gwo lapenn, mwen rete san manje. Se poutèt sa wi y'ap joure m' konsa.
When I wept, and chastened my soul with fasting, that was to my reproach.
11 Si m' mete yon rad sak sou mwen pou m' mande ou padon, y'ap pase m' nan rizib.
I made sackcloth also my garment; and I became a proverb to them.
12 Yo chita bò pòtay lavil la, y'ap pale sou mwen, bwèsonyè yo ap fè chante sou mwen.
They that sit in the gate speak against me; and I was the song of the drunkards.
13 Men mwen menm, se ou menm m'ap toujou lapriyè. Reponn mwen, Bondye, lè w'a wè l' nesesè, paske ou gen bon kè, paske w'ap toujou pote m' sekou.
But as for me, my prayer is unto you, O LORD, in an acceptable time: O God, in the multitude of your mercy hear me, in the truth of your salvation.
14 Wete m' nan ma labou sa a. Pa kite m' desann pi fon ladan li. Delivre m' anba lènmi m' yo. Wete m' nan gwo basen byen fon an.
Deliver me out of the mire, and let me not sink: let me be delivered from them that hate me, and out of the deep waters.
15 Pa kite dlo yo kouvri tèt mwen ankò. Pa kite m' neye nan gwo lantonwa a. Pa kite bouch twou a fèmen sou mwen.
Let not the flood of waters overflow me, neither let the deep swallow me up, and let not the pit shut her mouth upon me.
16 Reponn mwen, Seyè, paske ou p'ap janm sispann renmen m'. Voye je ou gade mwen, paske ou gen kè sansib.
Hear me, O LORD; for your loving kindness is good: turn unto me according to the multitude of your tender mercies.
17 Pa vire do ou bay sèvitè ou. Prese vin reponn mwen, paske mwen nan gwo traka.
And hide not your face from your servant; for I am in trouble: hear me speedily.
18 vin jwenn mwen, vin delivre mwen. Wete m' nan men lènmi mwen yo.
Draw nigh unto my soul, and redeem it: deliver me because of mine enemies.
19 Ou konnen jan y'ap joure mwen, jan y'ap fè m' wont, jan y'ap trennen m' nan labou. Ou wè tout moun k'ap pèsekite m' yo.
You have known my reproach, and my shame, and my dishonour: mine adversaries are all before you.
20 Yo di m' gwomo jouk yo kraze kouraj mwen. Mwen santi se mouri m'ap mouri. Mwen te kwè ta gen moun ki ta gen pitye pou mwen, men pesonn pa vini. Mwen te kwè ta gen moun ki ta vin konsole m', pesonn pa parèt.
Reproach has broken my heart; and I am full of heaviness: and I looked for some to take pity, but there was none; and for comforters, but I found none.
21 Yo mete pwazon nan manje mwen. Lè m' mande dlo pou m' bwè, se vinèg yo ban mwen.
They gave me also gall for my food; and in my thirst they gave me vinegar to drink.
22 Se pou resepsyon y'ap fè yo tounen yon pèlen pou yo. Lè yo konprann zafè yo pi bon, se lè sa a pou malè tonbe sou yo.
Let their table become a snare before them: and that which should have been for their welfare, let it become a trap.
23 Se pou je yo bouche pou yo pa wè menm! Kase ren yo pou yo pa ka kanpe dwat ankò!
Let their eyes be darkened, that they see not; and make their loins continually to shake.
24 Mete ou an kòlè sou yo! Fè yo santi jan ou fache sou yo!
Pour out your indignation upon them, and let your wrathful anger take hold of them.
25 Se pou kay yo rete san moun. Se pou pa gen yon moun lakay yo ki rete vivan ankò.
Let their habitation be desolate; and let none dwell in their tents.
26 Paske yo te pèsekite moun ou t'ap pini an. Y'ap pwonmennen rakonte soufrans moun ou blese a.
For they persecute him whom you have smitten; and they talk to the grief of those whom you have wounded.
27 Kite yo mete sou sa yo fè deja. Se pou ou san pitye pou yo.
Add iniquity unto their iniquity: and let them not come into your righteousness.
28 Efase non yo nan liv ki gen non moun ki gen lavi a. Pa mete non yo ak non moun k'ap sèvi ou yo.
Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and not be written with the righteous.
29 Mwen nan gwo lapenn, m'ap soufri. Bondye, pote m' sekou. Mete m' sou de pye m' ankò.
But I am poor and sorrowful: let your salvation, O God, set me up on high.
30 M'a chante pou Bondye, m'a fè lwanj li. M'a di l' mèsi, m'a fè konnen jan li gen pouvwa.
I will praise the name of God with a song, and will magnify him with thanksgiving.
31 Sa va fè Seyè a plezi pi plis pase si m' ta ofri l' yon bèf, pase si m' ta ba li yon jenn towo bèf ki fin fè kòn.
This also shall please the LORD better than an ox or bullock that has horns and hoofs.
32 Lè malere yo va wè sa, y'a kontan. Se va yon gwo ankourajman pou moun k'ap sèvi Bondye yo.
The humble shall see this, and be glad: and your heart shall live that seek God.
33 Seyè a koute lè pòv yo ap lapriyè nan pye l'. Li pa bliye moun pa l' yo lè yo nan prizon.
For the LORD hears the poor, and despises not his prisoners.
34 Se pou syèl la ansanm ak latè a, lanmè a ansanm ak tout sa ki ladan li fè lwanj Bondye.
Let the heaven and earth praise him, the seas, and every thing that moves therein.
35 L'a delivre peyi Siyon. L'a rebati lavil peyi Jida yo. Pèp li va bati kay yo la ankò. Y'a pran tè a pou yo.
For God will save Zion, and will build the cities of Judah: that they may dwell there, and have it in possession.
36 Pitit pitit sèvitè l' yo va eritye peyi a. Se la moun ki renmen l' yo va viv.
The seed also of his servants shall inherit it: and they that love his name shall dwell therein.
