Sòm 22
1 Pou direktè koral la, avèk mizik bich granmaten an; Yon sòm David. Bondye mwen, Bondye mwen, poukisa Ou te abandone m? Kri a doulè sa a lwen delivrans mwen.
To the Chief Musician. On "the Hind of the Dawn." A Melody of David. My GOD, my GOD, why hast thou forsaken me? Far from saving me, The words of my loud lamentation?
2 O Bondye mwen, mwen kriye pandan lajounen, men Ou pa reponn. E nan lannwit men m pa jwenn repo.
My God! I keep crying—By day, and thou dost not answer, and, By night, and there is no rest for me.
3 Sepandan, Ou sen; Ou menm ki sou twòn lwanj pèp Israël la.
But, thou, art holy, Who inhabitest the praises of Israel.
4 Nan Ou menm, zansèt nou yo te mete konfyans yo. Yo te mete konfyans yo nan Ou, e Ou te delivre yo.
In thee, trusted our fathers, They trusted, and thou didst deliver them;
5 A Ou menm, yo te kriye, e yo te delivre. Nan Ou, yo te mete konfyans yo, epi pa t desi.
Unto thee, made they outcry, and escaped, In thee, they trusted, and had not turned pale.
6 Men mwen se yon vè, mwen pa menm yon moun. Parèt abominab devan lèzòm, e meprize pa tout moun.
But, I, am a worm and no one, a reproach of men, and despised of a people;
7 Tout moun ki wè m vin moke mwen. Yo separe avèk lèv yo e yo souke tèt yo pou di:
All that see me, laugh at me, —They open wide the mouth, They shake the head: —
8 Li mete konfyans nan SENYÈ a. Kite Li menm delivre li. Kite Li sove li, paske Li pran plezi nan li.
He should trust in Yahweh—let him deliver him, —Let him rescue him, seeing he delighteth in him.
9 Sepandan, Ou menm se (Sila) ki te fè m sòti nan vant manman m nan. Ou te fè m gen konfyans depi m t ap souse tete manman m.
For, thou, art he that severed me from the womb, he that caused me to trust, upon the breasts of my mother;
10 Sou Ou, mwen te depann depi nesans mwen. Ou te Bondye mwen depi nan vant manman m.
Upon thee, was I cast from the time I was born, From the womb of my mother, my GOD, hast thou been.
11 Pa rete lwen mwen, paske gwo twoub la toupre. Paske nanpwen moun ki pou ede m.
Be not far from me, for, distress, is near, For there is none to help.
12 Anpil towo vin antoure m. Towo fò a Basan yo te ansèkle m.
Many bulls have surrounded me, Strong oxen of Bashan, have enclosed me;
13 Yo ouvri bouch yo byen laj sou mwen, tankou yon lyon voras k ap rele fò.
They have opened wide against me their mouth, A lion rending and roaring.
14 Mwen vin vide tankou dlo. Tout zo m fin dejwente.
Like water, am I poured out, and, put out of joint, are all my bones, —My heart, hath become, like wax, it is melted in the midst of my body;
15 Fòs mwen vin sèch tankou cha kanari. Lang mwen kole akote nan bouch mwen. Ou fè m kouche nan pousyè lanmò a.
Dried as a potsherd, is my strength, And, my tongue, is made to cleave to my gums, And, in the dust of death, wilt thou lay me.
16 Konsa, chen yo vin antoure mwen. Yon bann malfektè vin ansèkle m. Yo te pèse dwat mwen avèk pye m.
For dogs have surrounded me, —An assembly of evil doers, have encircled me, They have pierced my hands and my feet,
17 Mwen kab kontwole tout zo m yo. Yo gade mwen, yo fikse zye yo sou mwen.
I may tell all my bones, They, look for—they behold me!
18 Yo divize rad mwen pami yo. Pou vètman m, yo tire osò.
They part my garments among them, and, for my vestment, they cast lots.
19 Men Ou menm, O SENYÈ, pa rete lwen! Ou menm, sekou mwen, fè vit, vin rive ede m!
But, thou, O Yahweh, be not far off, O my help! to aid me, make haste;
20 Delivre nanm mwen devan nepe a, lavi mwen devan pouvwa a chen an.
Rescue, from the sword, my life, from the power of the dog, my solitary self:
21 Fè m sekou soti nan bouch a lyon an, soti sou kòn a bèf mawon. Wi, Ou menm te reponn mwen.
Save me from the mouth of the lion, —Yea, from the horns of wild beasts, hast thou delivered me.
22 Mwen va pale non Ou a frè m yo. Nan mitan asanble a, mwen va louwe Ou.
I will declare thy Name unto my brethren, —In the midst of the convocation, will I praise thee.
23 Ou menm ki krent SENYÈ a, louwe Li. Nou tout, desandan Jacob yo, bay Li glwa! Kanpe byen sezi devan L, nou tout, desandan Israël yo.
Ye that revere Yahweh, praise him, All ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him, And, stand in awe of him, all ye seed of Israel.
24 Paske Li pa t meprize ni rayi afliksyon a aflije yo. Ni Li pa t kache figi Li a li menm, men lè li te kriye a Li pou sekou, Li te tande.
For he hath not despised nor abhorred the humbling of the patient one, neither hath he hid his face from him, but, when he cried for help unto him, he heard.
25 Se depi a Ou menm ke lwanj mwen sòti nan gran asanble a; Mwen va akonpli ve mwen yo devan (sila) ki krent Li yo.
Of thee, is my praise in the great convocation, My vows, will I pay, before them who revere him.
26 Aflije yo va manje e va satisfè. (Sila) ki chache Li yo, va louwe SENYÈ a. Ke kè Ou kapab viv jis pou tout tan!
The patient wronged-ones shall eat and be satisfied, They shall praise Yahweh, who are seekers of him, Let your heart live for aye.
27 Tout ekstremite tè a nèt va sonje. Yo va vire bò kote SENYÈ a. Konsa, tout fanmi nan nasyon yo va adore devan Ou.
All the ends of the earth, will remember and turn to Yahweh, Yea all the families of the nations, will bow themselves down before thee,
28 Paske wayòm nan se pou SENYÈ a, e pouvwa Li se sou tout nasyon yo.
For, to Yahweh, belongeth the kingdom, And One to Rule over the nations.
29 Tout moun byen reyisi sou latè va manje e adore. Tout (sila) ki desann nan pousyè a va bese devan Li, Menm (sila) ki pa kab fè nanm li viv la.
All the great ones of the earth, shall eat and bow down, Before him shall kneel, all that go down to the dust, Even he who had not kept alive, his own soul!
30 Jenerasyon yo va sèvi Li. Yo va pale de SENYÈ a a desandan yo k ap vini an.
My seed, shall serve him, It shall be recounted, of the Lord, to a generation that shall come:
31 Yo va vini. Yo va deklare ladwati Li a yon pèp ki va vin fèt. Paske Li te reyisi fè tout bagay sa a.
That his righteousness may be declared to a people to be born, That he wrought with effect!
