Sòm 88
1 Chante sa a se yon sòm pitit Kore yo. Pou chèf sanba yo. Fè yo chante ansanm tankou timoun lekòl. Se chante Eman, moun lavil Ezra. Seyè, Bondye, se ou menm ki delivrans mwen! Lajounen kou lannwit m'ap rele nan pye ou!
A song. A Psalm of the sons of Korah. For the choirmaster. According to Mahalath Leannoth. A Maskil of Heman the Ezrahite. O LORD, the God of my salvation, day and night I cry out before You.
2 Se pou lapriyè m' rive nan zòrèy ou. Koute byen sa m'ap mande ou.
May my prayer come before You; incline Your ear to my cry.
For my soul is full of troubles, and my life draws near to Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
4 Mwen tankou moun ki sou dènye souf li, tankou moun ki pa gen fòs ankò.
I am counted among those descending to the Pit. I am like a man without strength.
5 Mwen tonbe atè tankou yon moun mouri, tankou yon moun yo touye ki kouche nan simityè. Wi, tankou yon moun ou bliye nèt, tankou yon moun ou pa ka fè anyen ankò pou li.
I am forsaken among the dead, like the slain who lie in the grave, whom You remember no more, who are cut off from Your care.
6 Ou voye m' jete nan yon gwo twou byen fon, kote ki fè nwa anpil, nan yon twou san fon.
You have laid me in the lowest Pit, in the darkest of the depths.
7 Mwen santi ou ankòlè anpil sou mwen. Se kraze w'ap kraze m' anba men ou.
Your wrath weighs heavily upon me; all Your waves have submerged me.
8 Ou fè tout zanmi m' yo lage m'. Yo yonn pa ka santi m' bò kote yo! Mwen fèmen yon kote mwen pa ka soti.
You have removed my friends from me; You have made me repulsive to them; I am confined and cannot escape.
9 Je m' ap boule m' tèlman m'ap soufri. Seyè, se chak jou m'ap rele ou, m'ap louvri de bra m' ba ou!
My eyes grow dim with grief. I call to You daily, O LORD; I spread out my hands to You.
10 Eske se pou moun mouri ou fè mirak? Eske mò ka leve pou fè lwanj ou?
Do You work wonders for the dead? Do departed spirits rise up to praise You?
11 Eske moun ki anba tè ka fè konnen jan ou renmen nou? Eske moun ki nan twou san fon an ka fè konnen jan ou toujou kenbe pawòl ou?
Can Your loving devotion be proclaimed in the grave, Your faithfulness in Abaddon?
12 Eske moun ki nan fènwa a ka wè mèvèy ou yo? Eske moun ki nan peyi kote yo bliye tout bagay la ka wè jan ou bon!
Will Your wonders be known in the darkness, or Your righteousness in the land of oblivion?
13 Seyè, m'ap rele ou vin ede mwen. Se chak maten m'ap lapriyè nan pye ou.
But to You, O LORD, I cry for help; in the morning my prayer comes before You.
14 Seyè, poukisa ou voye m' jete lwen ou konsa? Poukisa ou kache figi ou pou mwen?
Why, O LORD, do You reject me? Why do You hide Your face from me?
15 Depi mwen jenn gason se soufri m'ap soufri, m'ap pase ra lanmò. Ou sitèlman pini mwen, mwen pa konn sa pou m' fè ankò.
From my youth I was afflicted and near death. I have borne Your terrors; I am in despair.
16 Nan kòlè ou, ou fè m' pase kont tray mwen. Se fini ou fini avè m' tèlman ou pini m'.
Your wrath has swept over me; Your terrors have destroyed me.
17 Tout lajounen ou sènen m' tankou dlo inondasyon, ou fèmen m' toupatou.
All day long they engulf me like water; they enclose me on every side.
18 Ou te fè tout kanmarad mwen yo ak zanmi m' yo vire do ban mwen. Moun mwen te konn rakonte ti koze m' yo disparèt.
You have removed my beloved and my friend; darkness is my closest companion.
