Sòm 10
1 Poukisa Ou kanpe tèlman lwen, O Senyè? Poukisa Ou kache Ou menm nan tan twoub yo?
Why, Jehovah, dost Thou stand at a distance? Thou dost hide in times of adversity,
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 pride of the wicked, Is the poor inflamed, They are caught in devices that they devised.
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.
Because the wicked hath boasted Of the desire of his soul, And a dishonest gainer he hath blessed, He hath despised Jehovah.
4 Mechan an nan wotè rega li, refize chache Bondye, Tout panse li se ke: “Nanpwen Bondye.”
The wicked according to the height of his face, inquireth not. 'God is not!' [are] all his devices.
5 Chemen pa li yo reyisi tout tan; Jijman Ou yo tèlman wo, li pa wè yo. Selon lènmi li yo, li giyonnen yo.
Pain do his ways at all times, On high [are] Thy judgments before him, All his adversaries — 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 hath said in his heart, 'I am not moved,' To generation and generation not in evil.
7 Bouch li plen ak malediksyon, avèk twonpe moun avèk oprime moun. Anba lang li, se twonpe moun avèk mechanste.
Of oaths his mouth is full, And deceits, and fraud: Under his tongue [is] perverseness and iniquity,
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 doth sit in an ambush of the villages, In secret places he doth slay the innocent. His eyes for the afflicted watch secretly,
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 lieth in wait in a secret place, as a lion in a covert. He lieth in wait to catch the poor, 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 is bruised — he boweth down, Fallen by his mighty ones hath the afflicted.
11 Li pale a tèt li: “Bondye bliye. Li kache figi Li; Li p ap janm wè sa.”
He said in his heart, 'God hath forgotten, He hath hid His face, He hath never seen.'
12 Leve O SENYÈ! O Bondye, leve men Ou wo! Pa bliye aflije yo!
Arise, O Jehovah! O God, lift up Thy hand! Forget not the humble.
13 Poukisa mechan an te meprize Bondye? Li te di nan tèt li: “Ou p ap egzije m sa”.
Wherefore hath the wicked despised God? He hath said in his heart, 'It is not required.'
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 hast seen, For Thou perverseness and anger beholdest; By giving into Thy hand, On Thee doth the afflicted leave [it], Of the fatherless Thou hast been an helper.
15 Kase bra a mechan yo avèk malfektè a! Dekouvri mechanste li yo jiskaske Ou pa twouve l ankò.
Break the arm of the wicked and the evil, Seek out his wickedness, find none;
16 SENYÈ a se Wa a pou tout tan! Nasyon yo va peri disparèt de peyi Li a.
Jehovah [is] king to the age, and for ever, The nations have perished out of His land!
17 O SENYÈ, Ou te tande dezi a enb yo; Ou va ranfòse kè yo, Ou va enkline zòrèy Ou,
The desire of the humble Thou hast heard, O Jehovah. Thou preparest their heart; Thou causest Thine ear to attend,
18 pou bay jistis a òfelen an avèk oprime a, pou lòm ki mache sou tè a, pa koze laperèz ankò.
To judge the fatherless and bruised: He addeth no more to oppress — man of the earth!
