Sòm 91
1 Moun ki chache pwoteksyon bò kote Bondye ki anwo nan syèl la, moun ki rete kache anba zèl Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a
The Praise of a Canticle, of David. Whoever dwells with the assistance of the Most High will abide in the protection of the God of heaven.
2 ka di Seyè a: -Se ou ki tout defans mwen. Se ou ki tout pwoteksyon mwen. Ou se Bondye mwen. Se nan ou mwen mete tout konfyans mwen.
He will say to the Lord, “You are my supporter and my refuge.” My God, I will hope in him.
3 Se li menm ki p'ap kite ou pran nan pèlen, ki p'ap kite maladi ki pou touye ou tonbe sou ou.
For he has freed me from the snare of those who go hunting, and from the harsh word.
4 L'ap kouvri ou anba zèl li. Anyen p'ap rive ou kote ou kache a. L'ap toujou kenbe pawòl li: Se sa ki pwoteksyon ou, se sa ki defans ou.
He will overshadow you with his shoulders, and you will hope under his wings.
5 Ou pa bezwen pè bagay k'ap fè moun pè lannwit, ni kè ou pa bezwen kase pou malè ki ka rive ou lajounen.
His truth will surround you with a shield. You will not be afraid: before the terror of the night,
6 Ou pa bezwen pè move maladi k'ap tonbe sou moun nan mitan lannwit, ni epidemi k'ap touye moun gwo midi.
before the arrow flying in the day, before the troubles that wander in the darkness, nor of invasion and the midday demon.
7 Mil (1.000) moun te mèt tonbe sou bò gòch ou, dimil (10.000) sou bò dwat ou, anyen p'ap rive ou.
A thousand will fall before your side and ten thousand before your right hand. Yet it will not draw near you.
8 W'ap rete konsa, w'ap gade, w'a wè jan y'ap bay mechan yo sa yo merite.
So then, truly, you will consider with your eyes, and you will see the retribution of sinners.
9 Paske ou pran Seyè a pou defans ou, paske ou pran Bondye ki anwo nan syèl la pou pwoteksyon ou,
For you, O Lord, are my hope. You have set the Most High as your refuge.
10 okenn malè p'ap rive ou, okenn mechan p'ap ka pwoche bò kot kay ou.
Disaster will not draw near to you, and the scourge will not approach your tabernacle.
11 Bondye ap pase zanj li yo lòd pou yo veye sou ou, pou yo pwoteje ou kote ou pase.
For he has given his Angels charge over you, so as to preserve you in all your ways.
12 Y'ap pote ou nan men yo. pou ou pa kase zòtèy pye ou sou okenn wòch.
With their hands, they will carry you, lest you hurt your foot against a stone.
13 W'ap mache sou lyon ak sou sèpan, w'ap kraze jenn ti lyon yo ak eskòpyon yo anba pye ou.
You will walk over the asp and the king serpent, and you will trample the lion and the dragon.
14 Bondye di: M'ap sove moun ki renmen mwen, m'ap pwoteje moun ki konnen mwen.
Because he has hoped in me, I will free him. I will protect him because he has known my name.
15 Lè l' rele m', m'ap reponn li. Lè l' nan tray, m'ap la avèk li. M'ap delivre l', m'ap fè yo respekte l'.
He will cry out to me, and I will heed him. I am with him in tribulation. I will rescue him, and I will glorify him.
16 M'ap fè l' viv lontan, m'a fè l' wè jan m'ap delivre l'.
I will fill him with length of days. And I will reveal to him my salvation.
