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.
TO THE OVERSEER. [SET] ON “LILIES.” BY DAVID. Save me, O God, for waters have come to the 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 have sunk in deep mire, And there is no standing, I have come into the depths of the waters, And a flood has overflown 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 have been wearied with my calling, My throat has been burned, My eyes have been consumed, waiting 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.
Those hating me without cause Have been more than the hairs of my head, Mighty have been my destroyers, My lying enemies, That which I did not take away—I bring back.
5 Bondye, mwen pa kapab kache peche m' yo devan ou. Ou konnen jan m' te aji tankou moun fou.
O God, You have known Concerning my overturn, And my desolations have not been 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.
Do not let those waiting on You be ashamed because of me, O Lord, YHWH of Hosts, Do not let those seeking You Blush because of me, O God of Israel.
7 Se poutèt ou y'ap joure m' konsa. Wi, se poutèt ou lawont fè m' kache figi m'.
For because of You 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 have been a stranger to my brother, And a foreigner to sons of my mother.
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 [my] zeal for Your house has consumed me, And the reproaches of Your reproachers Have fallen on me.
10 Mwen nan gwo lapenn, mwen rete san manje. Se poutèt sa wi y'ap joure m' konsa.
And I weep in the fasting of my soul, And it is for a reproach to me.
11 Si m' mete yon rad sak sou mwen pou m' mande ou padon, y'ap pase m' nan rizib.
And I make my clothing sackcloth, And I am for an allegory to them.
12 Yo chita bò pòtay lavil la, y'ap pale sou mwen, bwèsonyè yo ap fè chante sou mwen.
Those sitting at the gate meditate concerning me, And those drinking strong drink, Play on instruments.
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.
And my prayer [is] to You, O YHWH, A time of good pleasure, O God, In the abundance of Your kindness, Answer 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 from the mire, and do not let me sink, Let me be delivered from those hating me, And from deep places of 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.
Do not let a flood of waters overflow me, Nor let the deep swallow me up, Nor let the pit shut her mouth on me.
16 Reponn mwen, Seyè, paske ou p'ap janm sispann renmen m'. Voye je ou gade mwen, paske ou gen kè sansib.
Answer me, O YHWH, for Your kindness [is] good, Turn to me according to the abundance of Your mercies,
17 Pa vire do ou bay sèvitè ou. Prese vin reponn mwen, paske mwen nan gwo traka.
And do not hide Your face from Your servant, For I am in distress—hurry, answer me.
18 vin jwenn mwen, vin delivre mwen. Wete m' nan men lènmi mwen yo.
Be near to my soul—redeem it, Ransom me because of my 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 blushing, All my adversaries [are] 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 sick, And I look for a bemoaner, and there is none, And for comforters, and I have found none.
21 Yo mete pwazon nan manje mwen. Lè m' mande dlo pou m' bwè, se vinèg yo ban mwen.
And they give gall for my food, And cause me to drink vinegar for my thirst.
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.
Their table before them is for a snare, And for a repayment—for a trap.
23 Se pou je yo bouche pou yo pa wè menm! Kase ren yo pou yo pa ka kanpe dwat ankò!
Their eyes are darkened from seeing, And their loins continually shake You.
24 Mete ou an kòlè sou yo! Fè yo santi jan ou fache sou yo!
Pour Your indignation on them, And the fierceness of Your anger seizes them.
25 Se pou kay yo rete san moun. Se pou pa gen yon moun lakay yo ki rete vivan ankò.
Their tower is desolated, There is no dweller 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 have pursued him [whom] You have struck, And recount of the pain of Your pierced ones.
27 Kite yo mete sou sa yo fè deja. Se pou ou san pitye pou yo.
Give punishment for their iniquity, And they do not enter 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.
They are blotted out of the scroll of life, And are not written with the righteous.
29 Mwen nan gwo lapenn, m'ap soufri. Bondye, pote m' sekou. Mete m' sou de pye m' ankò.
And I [am] afflicted and pained, Your salvation, O God, sets me 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 praise the Name of God with a song, And I 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.
And it is better to YHWH than an ox, A bullock—horned [and] hoofed.
32 Lè malere yo va wè sa, y'a kontan. Se va yon gwo ankourajman pou moun k'ap sèvi Bondye yo.
The humble have seen—they rejoice, You who seek God—and your heart lives.
33 Seyè a koute lè pòv yo ap lapriyè nan pye l'. Li pa bliye moun pa l' yo lè yo nan prizon.
For YHWH listens to the needy, And He has not despised His bound ones.
34 Se pou syèl la ansanm ak latè a, lanmè a ansanm ak tout sa ki ladan li fè lwanj Bondye.
The heavens and earth praise Him, Seas, and every moving thing in them.
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 saves Zion, And builds the cities of Judah, And they have dwelt there, and possess it.
36 Pitit pitit sèvitè l' yo va eritye peyi a. Se la moun ki renmen l' yo va viv.
And the seed of His servants inherit it, And those loving His Name dwell in it!
