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 Overseer, on 'The Hind of the Morning.' — A Psalm of David. My God, my God, why hast Thou forsaken me? Far from my salvation, The words of my roaring?
2 O Bondye mwen, mwen kriye pandan lajounen, men Ou pa reponn. E nan lannwit men m pa jwenn repo.
My God, I call by day, and Thou answerest not, And by night, and there is no silence to me.
3 Sepandan, Ou sen; Ou menm ki sou twòn lwanj pèp Israël la.
And Thou [art] holy, Sitting — the Praise 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 did our fathers trust — they trusted, And Thou dost 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 they cried, and were delivered, In Thee they trusted, and were not ashamed.
6 Men mwen se yon vè, mwen pa menm yon moun. Parèt abominab devan lèzòm, e meprize pa tout moun.
And I [am] a worm, and no man, A reproach of man, and despised of the people.
7 Tout moun ki wè m vin moke mwen. Yo separe avèk lèv yo e yo souke tèt yo pou di:
All beholding me do mock at me, They make free with the lip — 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.
'Roll unto Jehovah, He doth deliver him, He doth deliver him, for he delighted 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 bringing me forth from the womb, Causing me to trust, On the breasts of my mother.
10 Sou Ou, mwen te depann depi nesans mwen. Ou te Bondye mwen depi nan vant manman m.
On Thee I have been cast from the womb, From the belly of my mother Thou [art] my God.
11 Pa rete lwen mwen, paske gwo twoub la toupre. Paske nanpwen moun ki pou ede m.
Be not far from me, For adversity is near, for there is no helper.
12 Anpil towo vin antoure m. Towo fò a Basan yo te ansèkle m.
Many bulls have surrounded me, Mighty ones of Bashan have compassed me,
13 Yo ouvri bouch yo byen laj sou mwen, tankou yon lyon voras k ap rele fò.
They have opened against me their mouth, A lion tearing and roaring.
14 Mwen vin vide tankou dlo. Tout zo m fin dejwente.
As waters I have been poured out, And separated themselves have all my bones, My heart hath been like wax, It is melted in the midst of my bowels.
15 Fòs mwen vin sèch tankou cha kanari. Lang mwen kole akote nan bouch mwen. Ou fè m kouche nan pousyè lanmò a.
Dried up as an earthen vessel is my power, And my tongue is cleaving to my jaws.
16 Konsa, chen yo vin antoure mwen. Yon bann malfektè vin ansèkle m. Yo te pèse dwat mwen avèk pye m.
And to the dust of death thou appointest me, For surrounded me have dogs, A company of evil doers have compassed me, Piercing my hands and my feet.
17 Mwen kab kontwole tout zo m yo. Yo gade mwen, yo fikse zye yo sou mwen.
I count all my bones — they look expectingly, They look upon me,
18 Yo divize rad mwen pami yo. Pou vètman m, yo tire osò.
They apportion my garments to themselves, And for my clothing they cause a lot to fall.
19 Men Ou menm, O SENYÈ, pa rete lwen! Ou menm, sekou mwen, fè vit, vin rive ede m!
And Thou, O Jehovah, be not far off, O my strength, to help me haste.
20 Delivre nanm mwen devan nepe a, lavi mwen devan pouvwa a chen an.
Deliver from the sword my soul, From the paw of a dog mine only one.
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 a lion: — And — from the horns of the high places Thou hast answered me!
22 Mwen va pale non Ou a frè m yo. Nan mitan asanble a, mwen va louwe Ou.
I declare Thy name to my brethren, In the midst of the assembly 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 who fear Jehovah, praise ye Him, All the seed of Jacob, honour ye Him, And be afraid 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 abominated, The affliction of the afflicted, Nor hath He hidden His face from him, And in his crying unto Him He heareth.
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 my praise [is] in the great assembly. My vows I complete before His fearers.
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 humble do eat and are satisfied, Praise Jehovah do those seeking Him, Your heart doth live for ever.
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.
Remember and return unto Jehovah, Do all ends of the earth, And before Thee bow themselves, Do all families of the nations,
28 Paske wayòm nan se pou SENYÈ a, e pouvwa Li se sou tout nasyon yo.
For to Jehovah [is] the kingdom, And He is ruling among 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.
And the fat ones of earth have eaten, And they bow themselves, Before Him bow do all going down to dust, And he [who] hath not revived his soul.
30 Jenerasyon yo va sèvi Li. Yo va pale de SENYÈ a a desandan yo k ap vini an.
A seed doth serve Him, It is declared of the Lord to the generation.
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.
They come and declare His righteousness, To a people that is borne, that He hath made!
