Sòm 10
1 Poukisa Ou kanpe tèlman lwen, O Senyè? Poukisa Ou kache Ou menm nan tan twoub yo?
Why, O Lord, hast thou retired afar off? why dost thou slight us in our wants, in the time of trouble?
2 Nan ògèy pa yo, mechan yo kouri cho dèyè aflije yo. Kite yo kenbe nan menm pèlen ke yo te fè a.
Whilst the wicked man is proud, the poor is set on fire: they are caught in the counsels which they devise.
3 Paske mechan a ap vin ògeye sou dezi kè li a; li beni moun voras la, e eksprime madichon pou l rejte SENYÈ a.
For the sinner is praised in the desires of his soul: and the unjust man is blessed.
4 Mechan an nan wotè rega li, refize chache Bondye, Tout panse li se ke: “Nanpwen Bondye.”
The sinner hath provoked the Lord according to the multitude of his wrath he will not seek him:
5 Chemen pa li yo reyisi tout tan; Jijman Ou yo tèlman wo, li pa wè yo. Selon lènmi li yo, li giyonnen yo.
God is not before his eyes: his ways are filthy at all times. Thy judgments are removed from his sight: he shall rule over all his enemies.
6 Li di a pwòp tèt li: “Mwen p ap ebranle menm; Pandan tout jenerasyon yo, mwen p ap gen pwoblèm ditou.”
For he hath said in his heart: I shall not be moved from generation to generation, and shall be without evil.
7 Bouch li plen ak malediksyon, avèk twonpe moun avèk oprime moun. Anba lang li, se twonpe moun avèk mechanste.
His mouth is full of cursing, and of bitterness, and of deceit: under his tongue are labour and sorrow.
8 Li chita nan anbiskad pou veye vil yo; nan anbiskad yo, li touye inosan yo. Zye li yo veye san bat (sila) ki pa gen espwa yo.
He sitteth in ambush with the rich in private places, that he may kill the innocent.
9 Li kache yon kote an kachèt tankou lyon nan nan kav li. Li kache pou kenbe aflije yo; li kenbe aflije yo lè l rale mennen yo rive nan pèlen an.
His eyes are upon the poor man: He lieth in wait in secret like a lion in his den. He lieth in ambush that he may catch the poor man: to catch the poor, whilst he draweth him to him.
10 Li akwoupi, li pare kò l; konsa malere a vin tonbe pa grif pwisan li yo.
In his net he will bring him down, he will crouch and fall, when he shall have power over the poor.
11 Li pale a tèt li: “Bondye bliye. Li kache figi Li; Li p ap janm wè sa.”
For he hath said in his heart: God hath forgotten, he hath turned away his face not to see to the end.
12 Leve O SENYÈ! O Bondye, leve men Ou wo! Pa bliye aflije yo!
Arise, O Lord God, let thy hand be exalted: forget not the poor.
13 Poukisa mechan an te meprize Bondye? Li te di nan tèt li: “Ou p ap egzije m sa”.
Wherefore hath the wicked provoked God? for he hath said in his heart: He will not require it.
14 Ou te wè sa, paske Ou te wè kont mechanste ak agase moun pou pran sa an men. Malere a ap depann de Ou menm; Se Ou ki konn ede òfelen an.
Thou seest it, for thou considerest labour and sorrow: that thou mayst deliver them into thy hands. To thee is the poor man left: thou wilt be a helper to the orphan.
15 Kase bra a mechan yo avèk malfektè a! Dekouvri mechanste li yo jiskaske Ou pa twouve l ankò.
Break thou the arm of the sinner and of the malignant: his sin shall be sought, and shall not be found.
16 SENYÈ a se Wa a pou tout tan! Nasyon yo va peri disparèt de peyi Li a.
The Lord shall reign to eternity, yea, for ever and ever: ye Gentiles shall perish from his land.
17 O SENYÈ, Ou te tande dezi a enb yo; Ou va ranfòse kè yo, Ou va enkline zòrèy Ou,
The Lord hath heard the desire of the poor: thy ear hath heard the preparation of their heart.
18 pou bay jistis a òfelen an avèk oprime a, pou lòm ki mache sou tè a, pa koze laperèz ankò.
To judge for the fatherless and for the humble, that man may no more presume to magnify himself upon earth.
