Sòm 25
1 Yon sòm David A Ou menm, O SENYÈ, mwen leve nanm mwen.
To thee, O Jehovah, do I lift up my soul.
2 O Bondye mwen, nan Ou, mwen mete konfyans mwen. Pa kite mwen vin wont; pa kite lènmi m yo fè fèt sou mwen.
O my God, in thee I have trusted. Let me not be put to shame. Let not my enemies triumph over me.
3 Anverite, nanpwen nan (sila) ki tann Ou yo ki va wont; (sila) ki fè konplo kont Ou san koz yo, va wont.
Yea, none who wait for thee shall be put to shame. They shall be put to shame who deal treacherously without cause.
4 Fè m konnen pa Ou yo, O SENYÈ; enstwi m nan chemen Ou yo.
Show me thy ways, O Jehovah. Teach me thy paths.
5 Mennen mwen nan verite Ou e enstwi mwen, Paske se Ou menm ki Bondye delivrans mwen; se Ou m ap tann tout lajounen.
Guide me in thy truth, and teach me. For thou are the God of my salvation. For thee do I wait all the day.
6 Sonje, O SENYÈ, mizerikòd Ou ak lanmou dous Ou a, Paske se yo ki la depi tan ale nèt.
Remember, O Jehovah, thy tender mercies and thy loving kindness. For they have been ever of old.
7 Pa sonje peche jenès mwen yo, ni transgresyon mwen yo. Selon lanmou dous Ou, sonje mwen, Pou koz a bonte Ou, O SENYÈ.
Remember not the sins of my youth, nor my transgressions. According to thy loving kindness remember thou me, for thy goodness' sake, O Jehovah.
8 Bon e plen ladwati, se SENYÈ a; pou sa, Li enstwi pechè yo nan chemen an.
Good and upright is Jehovah. Therefore he will instruct sinners in the way.
9 Li dirije enb yo nan jistis, e Li va enstwi enb yo nan chemen Li.
The meek he will guide in justice, and the meek he will teach his way.
10 Tout chemen Bondye se nan lanmou dous avèk verite pou (sila) ki kenbe akò Li yo ak temwayaj Li yo.
All the paths of Jehovah are loving kindness and truth to such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.
11 Pou koz a non Ou, O SENYÈ, padone inikite mwen, paske li anpil.
For thy name's sake, O Jehovah, pardon my iniquity, for it is great.
12 Kilès nonm nan ki gen krent SENYÈ a? Li va enstwi li nan chemen li ta dwe chwazi a.
What man is he who fears Jehovah? Him he shall instruct in the way that he shall choose.
13 Nanm li va viv alèz. Desandan li yo va resevwa eritaj peyi a.
His soul shall dwell at ease, and his seed shall inherit the land.
14 Lamitye SENYÈ a se pou (sila) ki gen lakrent Li yo. Li va fè yo konnen akò Li.
The friendship of Jehovah is with those who fear him, and he will show them his covenant.
15 Zye m toujou vè SENYÈ a, paske Li va retire pye mwen nan pèlen an.
My eyes are ever toward Jehovah, for he will pluck my feet out of the net.
16 Vire vè mwen e fè m gras, paske mwen abandone e aflije.
Turn thee to me, and have mercy upon me, for I am desolate and afflicted.
17 Twoub a kè m yo vin plis. Mennen m sòti nan gwo detrès sa a.
The troubles of my heart are enlarged. O bring thou me out of my distresses.
18 Gade sou afliksyon mwen avèk twoub mwen yo, e padone tout peche mwen yo.
Consider my affliction and my travail, and forgive all my sins.
19 Gade sou tout lènmi mwen yo, paske yo anpil. Epi yo rayi mwen avèk yon rayisman ki vyolan.
Consider my enemies, for they are many. And they hate me with cruel hatred.
20 Gade nanm mwen e delivre mwen. Pa kite m vin wont, paske mwen pran refij nan Ou menm.
O keep my soul, and deliver me. Let me not be put to shame, for I take refuge in thee.
21 Kite entegrite avèk ladwati pwoteje mwen, paske se Ou m ap tann.
Let integrity and uprightness preserve me, for I wait for thee.
22 Delivre Israël, O Bondye, sou tout twoub li yo.
Redeem Israel, O God, out of all of his troubles.
