< Sòm 16 >
1 Yon Sòm David Pwoteje m O Bondye, paske mwen kache nan Ou.
`Of the meke and symple, the salm of Dauid. Lord, kepe thou me, for Y haue hopid in thee;
2 Mwen te di a SENYÈ, Ou se Senyè mwen. Mwen pa gen anyen ki bon sof ke Ou menm.
Y seide to the Lord, Thou art my God, for thou hast no nede of my goodis.
3 Selon sen sou latè yo, se moun manyifik yo ye; sou yo menm mwen pran tout plezi m yo.
To the seyntis that ben in the lond of hym; he made wondurful alle my willis in hem.
4 Doulè a (sila) ki te fè donn a yon lòt dye va vin ogmante; Mwen p ap vin vide ofrann bwason san pa yo, ni non yo p ap sòti sou lèv mwen.
The sikenessis of hem ben multiplied; aftirward thei hastiden. I schal not gadire togidere the conuenticulis, `ethir litle couentis, of hem of bloodis; and Y schal not be myndeful of her names bi my lippis.
5 SENYÈ a se pòsyon eritaj mwen ak tas mwen; Se Ou menm ki bay soutyen a pati pa m nan.
The Lord is part of myn eritage, and of my passion; thou art, that schalt restore myn eritage to me.
6 Lizyè yo vin tonbe nan kote ki tèlman bèl pou mwen. Anverite, eritaj mwen bèl pou mwen.
Coordis felden to me in ful clere thingis; for myn eritage is ful cleer to me.
7 Mwen va beni SENYÈ a ki te ban m konsèy la. Anverite, panse mwen toujou vin enstwi mwen pandan lannwit.
I schal blesse the Lord, that yaf vndurstondyng to me; ferthermore and my reynes blameden me `til to nyyt.
8 Mwen te mete SENYÈ a devan zye m tout tan. Akoz Li se men dwat mwen, mwen p ap ebranle menm.
I purueide euere the Lord in my siyt; for he is on the riythalf to me, that Y be not moued.
9 Pou sa, kè m kontan e glwa mwen fè rejwisans. Anplis, chè m va toujou pwoteje.
For this thing myn herte was glad, and my tunge ioyede fulli; ferthermore and my fleisch schal reste in hope.
10 Paske Ou p ap abandone nanm mwen nan sejou mò yo; ni Ou p ap pèmèt (Sila) Ki Sen Ou an vin tonbe an pouriti. (Sheol )
For thou schalt not forsake my soule in helle; nether thou schalt yyue thin hooli to se corrupcioun. (Sheol )
11 Ou va fè m rekonèt chemen lavi a. Nan prezans Ou, se lajwa ki an abondans nèt. Nan men dwat Ou, se plezi ki dire jis pou tout tan.
Thou hast maad knowun to me the weies of lijf; thou schalt fille me of gladnesse with thi cheer; delityngis ben in thi riythalf `til in to the ende.
