Sòm 10
1 Poukisa Ou kanpe tèlman lwen, O Senyè? Poukisa Ou kache Ou menm nan tan twoub yo?
Why standest thou afar off, O LORD? Why hidest thou thyself in times 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.
Through the haughtiness of the wicked the poor are in distress; They are caught in the wiles which are contrived for them.
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.
The wicked boasteth of his heart's desire; The rapacious renounceth and contemneth Jehovah.
4 Mechan an nan wotè rega li, refize chache Bondye, Tout panse li se ke: “Nanpwen Bondye.”
The wicked [[saith]] in his haughtiness, “He careth not!” All his thoughts are, “There is no God.”
5 Chemen pa li yo reyisi tout tan; Jijman Ou yo tèlman wo, li pa wè yo. Selon lènmi li yo, li giyonnen yo.
His course is always prosperous; Far in the heights are thy judgments from him; As for all his enemies, he puffeth at them.
6 Li di a pwòp tèt li: “Mwen p ap ebranle menm; Pandan tout jenerasyon yo, mwen p ap gen pwoblèm ditou.”
He saith in his heart, “I shall never fall; I shall never be in adversity.”
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 perjury, deceit, and oppression; Mischief and injustice are upon his tongue.
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 the lurking-places of the villages; In secret places doth he murder the innocent; His eyes are secretly fixed upon the poor.
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.
He secretly lieth in wait, like a lion in a thicket; He lieth in wait to seize upon the helpless; He catcheth the poor, drawing him into his net.
10 Li akwoupi, li pare kò l; konsa malere a vin tonbe pa grif pwisan li yo.
He croucheth, and lowereth himself, And the wretched fall into his paws.
11 Li pale a tèt li: “Bondye bliye. Li kache figi Li; Li p ap janm wè sa.”
He saith in his heart, “God doth forget; He hideth his face; he doth never see it.”
12 Leve O SENYÈ! O Bondye, leve men Ou wo! Pa bliye aflije yo!
Arise, O LORD! O God, lift up thine hand: Forget not the distressed!
13 Poukisa mechan an te meprize Bondye? Li te di nan tèt li: “Ou p ap egzije m sa”.
Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God, And say in his heart, “He careth not for 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 dost see it; yea, thou beholdest malice and oppression, And markest it upon thy hand! The poor committeth himself to thee; Thou art the helper of the fatherless.
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 unjust and wicked man; Seek out his wickedness, till thou canst find none!
16 SENYÈ a se Wa a pou tout tan! Nasyon yo va peri disparèt de peyi Li a.
Jehovah is king for ever and ever; The gentiles shall perish out of his land.
17 O SENYÈ, Ou te tande dezi a enb yo; Ou va ranfòse kè yo, Ou va enkline zòrèy Ou,
Thou, O LORD! wilt hear the desires of the distressed; Thou wilt strengthen their hearts; Thou wilt lend a listening ear!
18 pou bay jistis a òfelen an avèk oprime a, pou lòm ki mache sou tè a, pa koze laperèz ankò.
Thou wilt maintain the cause of the fatherless and the oppressed, That henceforth none may be driven from the land.
