Sòm 139
1 Pou direktè koral la; Yon Sòm David O SENYÈ, Ou te sonde mwen e te konnen mwen.
Yahweh, you have examined me, and you know [everything about] me.
2 Ou konnen lè m chita ak lè m leve. Ou konprann panse mwen yo de lwen.
You know when I sit down and when I stand up. [Even though you are] far away from me, you know what I am thinking.
3 Ou konn egzamine chemen mwen fè avèk kouche mwen, e rekonèt bagay pi entim nan chemen mwen yo.
When I travel and when I lie down, you know everything that I do.
4 Menm avan mwen gen yon pawòl sou bouch mwen, Men gade, O SENYÈ, Ou konnen tout li menm.
Yahweh, even before I say [MTY] anything, you know everything that I am going to say!
5 Ou fin antoure mwen ni devan, ni dèyè e Ou te poze men Ou sou mwen.
You protect me on all sides; you put your hand on me [to protect me with your power] [MTY].
6 Konesans konsa twò mèvèye pou mwen. Li twò wo. Mwen pa kab rive kote l.
I am not able to understand that you know [everything about me]. That is too great for me to really understand.
7 Kibò mwen kab ale kite lespri Ou? Oswa kibò mwen kab sove ale pou m ta kite prezans Ou?
(Where could I go to escape from your Spirit?/I could not go anywhere to escape from your Spirit.) [RHQ] (Where could I go to get away from you?/I could not go anywhere to get away from you.) [RHQ]
8 Si mwen monte nan syèl la, Ou la. Si m fè kabann mwen nan sejou mò yo, men vwala, Ou la. (Sheol h7585)
If I went up to heaven, you would be there. If I lay down in the place where the dead people are, you would be there. (Sheol h7585)
9 Si mwen pran zèl nan maten, si m ta rete nan pati lanmè pi lwen an,
If I had wings and flew very far east [MTY], or if I flew west and made a place to live [on an island] in the ocean,
10 menm la, se men Ou k ap mennen mwen, e se men dwat Ou k ap kenbe m.
you would be there also, to lead me by your hand, and you would help me.
11 Si mwen di: “Anverite, tenèb la va kouvri mwen, e limyè ki antoure mwen an va vin fènwa,”
I could request the darkness to hide me, or I could request the light around me to become darkness,
12 menm tenèb la pa tenèb pou Ou, e fènwa a klere menm jan ak lajounen. Tenèb ak limyè se menm pou Ou menm.
but even [if that happened], the darkness would not be darkness for you! For you, the night is [as bright] as the daytime is, because for you, daylight and darkness are (not different/the same).
13 Paske se Ou menm ki te fòme pati anndan m yo. Ou te tise mwen, pyese m soti nan vant Manman m.
You created [all] the parts of my body; you put [the parts of] my body together when I was still in my mother’s womb.
14 Mwen va bay Ou anpil remèsiman, paske mwen fèt yon fason mèvèye. Zèv Ou yo depase bon konprann e nanm mwen byen konnen sa.
I praise you because you made my [body in a very] awesome and wonderful way. Everything that you do is amazing! I know that very well.
15 Fòm mwen pa t kache a Ou menm lè m te fèt nan sekrè a, e tise kon mèvèy etonnan nan fon tè a.
When my body was being formed, while it was being put together where no one else could see it, you saw it!
16 Zye Ou te wè matyè san fòm mwen. Epi nan liv Ou a, te deja ekri tout jou ki te òdone pou mwen yo, menm lè youn nan yo potko fin rive.
You saw me before I was born. You wrote in your book the number of days that you had decided that I would live. You did that before any of those days had [even] started!
17 Anplis, SENYÈ, a la presye se panse Ou yo yo pou mwen! A la gran, yo gran anpil!
God, what you think about me is very precious (OR, is very hard to understand). There is a great number of things that you think about.
18 Si m te konte yo, yo t ap an kantite depase sab. Lè m leve nan dòmi, mwen toujou avèk Ou.
If I could count them, [I would see that] they are more than the grains of sand [at the seashore]. And when I wake up, I am still with you [and I know that there are still more of your thoughts about me to count].
19 O ke Ou ta touye mechan yo, O Bondye. Soti sou mwen, O moun ki vèse san.
God, I desire that you would kill all the wicked people! And I wish that violent [MTY] men would (leave/go away from) me.
20 Paske yo pale kont Ou ak mechanste, e lènmi Ou yo pran non Ou an ven.
They say wicked/malicious things about you; they slander your name.
21 Èske m pa rayi (sila) ki rayi Ou yo, O SENYÈ? Epi èske mwen pa t blese menm de (sila) ki leve kont Ou yo?
Yahweh, I certainly [RHQ] hate those who hate you! And I despise [RHQ] those who rebel against you.
22 Mwen rayi yo ak yon rayisman ale nèt. Yo devni lènmi m.
I hate them completely, and I consider that they are my enemies.
23 Sonde mwen, O Bondye e konnen kè mwen. Mete mwen a leprèv e konnen panse mwen yo.
God, search my inner being; find out what I am thinking!
24 Konsa, wè si gen okenn move chemen nan mwen e mennen mwen nan chemen etènèl la.
Find out whether there is anything evil in my [inner being], and lead me along the road [that leads to my being with you] forever.
