Sòm 74
1 Se yon chante Asaf. Bondye, poukisa ou lage nou nèt konsa? Poukisa ou an kolè konsa sou moun pa ou yo, sou mouton ki nan savann ou yo?
A Psalme to give instruction, committed to Asaph. O God, why hast thou put vs away for euer? why is thy wrath kindled against the sheepe of thy pasture?
2 Pa bliye pèp ou te chwazi depi nan tan lontan an, pèp ou te achte pou ou te fè yo tounen moun pa ou! Pa bliye mòn Siyon kote ou te chwazi pou rete a!
Thinke vpon thy Congregation, which thou hast possessed of olde, and on the rod of thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed, and on this mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt.
3 vin wè sa ki rete apre ravaj la! Lènmi nou yo fin kraze dènye bagay nan kay ki apa pou ou a.
Lift vp thy strokes, that thou mayest for euer destroy euery enemie that doeth euill to the Sanctuarie.
4 Moun ki pa vle wè ou yo, yo kanpe nan mitan kote pèp ou konn reyini an, y'ap rele byen fò. Yo wete tou sa ki nan tanp lan, yo mete drapo pa yo.
Thine aduersaries roare in the middes of thy Congregation, and set vp their banners for signes.
5 Yo tankou moun k'ap voye kout rach pou koupe pyebwa nan yon gwo rak.
He that lifted the axes vpon the thicke trees, was renowmed, as one, that brought a thing to perfection:
6 Yo kraze bout bèl panno bwa byen travay ki te nan tanp lan, anba kout rach ak kout mato.
But nowe they breake downe the carued worke thereof with axes and hammers.
7 Yo mete dife nan kay ki apa pou ou a, yo derespekte kote yo fè sèvis pou ou a, yo kraze l' vide atè.
They haue cast thy Sanctuarie into the fire, and rased it to the grounde, and haue defiled the dwelling place of thy Name.
8 Nan kè yo yo te di: Ann kraze yo tout yon sèl kou! Yo boule tout kote ki te apa pou Bondye nan peyi a!
They saide in their hearts, Let vs destroy them altogether: they haue burnt all the Synagogues of God in the land.
9 Tout bèl bagay ki te nan tanp lan disparèt. Pa gen pwofèt ankò. Pesonn pa konnen kilè sa va chanje.
We see not our signes: there is not one Prophet more, nor any with vs that knoweth howe long.
10 Bondye, kilè moun k'ap pile nou anba pye yo va sispann joure? Gen lè lènmi yo p'ap janm gen respè pou non ou?
O God, howe long shall the aduersarie reproche thee? shall the enemie blaspheme thy Name for euer?
11 Poukisa ou derefize ede nou? Poukisa ou rete kanpe ap gade, de bra ou kwaze?
Why withdrawest thou thine hand, euen thy right hand? drawe it out of thy bosome, and consume them.
12 Men, Bondye, se ou ki wa nou depi nan tan lontan. Ou fè nou genyen anpil batay sou latè.
Euen God is my King of olde, working saluation in the middes of the earth.
13 Se avèk pouvwa ou ou te fann lanmè a. Se avè l' ou te kraze tèt gwo bèt lanmè yo.
Thou didest deuide the sea by thy power: thou brakest the heads of the dragons in the waters.
14 Se ou ki kraze tèt levyatan an, lèfini, ou fè bèt k'ap viv nan dezè a manje l'.
Thou brakest the head of Liuiathan in pieces, and gauest him to be meate for the people in wildernesse.
15 Ou te fè sous dlo pete, ou fè larivyè koule. Ou fe gwo larivyè rete konsa yo chèch.
Thou brakest vp the fountaine and riuer: thou dryedst vp mightie riuers.
16 Ou fè lajounen, ou fè lannwit. Se ou ki mete lalin lan ak solèy la nan plas yo.
The day is thine, and the night is thine: thou hast prepared the light and the sunne.
17 Se ou ki fikse limit tè a. Se ou ki fè sezon chalè ak sezon fredi.
Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: thou hast made summer and winter.
18 Seyè, pa bliye jan lènmi ou yo ap pase ou nan rizib. Se yon bann moun san konprann ki pa gen respè pou non ou!
Remember this, that the enemie hath reproched the Lord, and the foolish people hath blasphemed thy Name.
19 Pa lage pèp ou nan men lènmi l' yo tankou toutrèl devan malfini. Pa bliye moun pa ou yo ki nan mizè nèt.
Giue not the soule of thy turtle doue vnto the beast, and forget not the Congregation of thy poore for euer.
20 Chonje kontra ou te siyen avèk yo a! Paske, nan tout ti kwen peyi a, nan tout mòn yo se ansasen.
Consider thy couenant: for the darke places of the earth are full of the habitations of the cruell.
21 Pa kite moun y'ap peze yo wont! Fè pou pòv malere yo ka fè lwanj ou.
Oh let not the oppressed returne ashamed, but let the poore and needie prayse thy Name.
22 Leve non, Bondye! Defann kòz ou! Pa bliye jan moun fou sa yo ap joure ou tout lajounen!
Arise, O God: mainteine thine owne cause: remember thy dayly reproche by the foolish man.
23 Pa bliye jan lènmi ou yo ap rele byen fò! Pa bliye jan moun ki pa vle wè ou yo ap fè eskandal san rete.
Forget not the voyce of thine enemies: for the tumult of them, that rise against thee, ascendeth continually.
