Sòm 31
1 Yon Sòm David Nan Ou menm, SENYÈ, mwen kache. Pa janm kite mwen vin wont. Nan ladwati Ou, delivre mwen.
To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David. In thee, O LORD, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness.
2 Panche zòrèy W bò kote mwen. Delivre mwen byen vit. Devni pou mwen wòch ki ban m fòs, yon sitadèl ki pou sove m.
Bow down thine ear to me; deliver me speedily: be thou my strong rock, for an house of defence to save me.
3 Paske Ou se wòch mwen ak sitadèl mwen, konsa, pou koz a non Ou, Ou va gide mwen.
For thou [art] my rock and my fortress; therefore for thy name’s sake lead me, and guide me.
4 Ou va rale m sòti nan filè ke yo te prepare an sekrè pou mwen an, paske se Ou ki fòs mwen.
Pull me out of the net that they have laid privily for me: for thou [art] my strength.
5 Nan men Ou, mwen mete lespri mwen. Ou te rachte m, O SENYÈ, Bondye verite a.
Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O LORD God of truth.
6 Mwen rayi (sila) ki fè rega a fo zidòl yo, men nan Bondye, mwen mete konfyans mwen.
I have hated them that regard lying vanities: but I trust in the LORD.
7 Mwen va rejwi e fè kè kontan nan lanmou dous Ou, akoz Ou te wè soufrans mwen. Ou te wè soufrans a nanm mwen.
I will be glad and rejoice in thy mercy: for thou hast considered my trouble; thou hast known my soul in adversities;
8 Ou pa t lage mwen nan men a lènmi an. Ou te mete pye mwen nan yon kote byen laj.
And hast not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: thou hast set my feet in a large room.
9 Fè m gras, O SENYÈ, paske mwen nan gwo twoub. Zye m ak kò m ak nanm mwen; tout fin gate nèt akoz doulè m.
Have mercy upon me, O LORD, for I am in trouble: mine eye is consumed with grief, [yea], my soul and my belly.
10 Paske lavi m fin pase nèt ak gwo doulè m, ane mwen yo avèk soupi. Fòs mwen fin ale akoz inikite m. Kò mwen fin epwize.
For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing: my strength faileth because of mine iniquity, and my bones are consumed.
11 Akoz tout advèsè mwen yo, mwen te devni yon objè abominab, sitou a vwazen mwen yo, e yon objè laperèz a (sila) ki rekonèt mwen yo. (Sila) ki wè m nan lari yo sove ale devan m.
I was a reproach among all mine enemies, but especially among my neighbours, and a fear to mine acquaintance: they that did see me without fled from me.
12 Mwen fin bliye tankou yon moun mouri, disparèt nan panse moun. Mwen tankou yon veso ki fin kraze.
I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am like a broken vessel.
13 Paske mwen konn tande kout lang anpil moun, laperèz toupatou. Yo pran konsèy ansanm kont mwen. Yo te fè konplo pou rache lavi m.
For I have heard the slander of many: fear [was] on every side: while they took counsel together against me, they devised to take away my life.
14 Men pou mwen, mwen mete konfyans nan Ou, O SENYÈ. Mwen di: “Se Ou menm ki Bondye mwen”.
But I trusted in thee, O LORD: I said, Thou [art] my God.
15 Moman mwen yo nan men Ou. Delivre mwen nan men a lènmi mwen yo, avèk (sila) ki pèsekite mwen yo.
My times [are] in thy hand: deliver me from the hand of mine enemies, and from them that persecute me.
16 Fè limyè figi Ou vin parèt sou sèvitè Ou a. Sove mwen nan lanmou dous Ou a.
Make thy face to shine upon thy servant: save me for thy mercies’ sake.
Let me not be ashamed, O LORD; for I have called upon thee: let the wicked be ashamed, [and] let them be silent in the grave. (Sheol h7585)
18 Kite lèv ki manti yo sispann, (sila) yo ka p pale ak awogans kont moun dwat yo, k ap fè ògèy pou desann moun.
Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.
19 Men a la gran, bonte ke Ou te konsève pou (sila) ki krent Ou yo, ke Ou te fòje pou (sila) ki kache nan Ou yo, devan fis a lòm yo!
[Oh] how great [is] thy goodness, which thou hast laid up for them that fear thee; [which] thou hast wrought for them that trust in thee before the sons of men!
20 Ou kache yo nan kote sekrè a prezans Ou, kont tout manèv a lòm. Ou konsève yo an sekrè nan yon pwotèj kont konplo a tout lang lèzòm.
Thou shalt hide them in the secret of thy presence from the pride of man: thou shalt keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.
21 Beni se SENYÈ a, paske li te fè mèvèy a lanmou dous Li a anvè mwen nan yon vil byen fò.
Blessed [be] the LORD: for he hath shewed me his marvellous kindness in a strong city.
22 Pou mwen, mwen te di ak kè sote mwen: “Mwen koupe retire nèt devan zye Ou”. Sepandan, Ou te tande vwa a siplikasyon mwen yo lè m te kriye a Ou menm.
For I said in my haste, I am cut off from before thine eyes: nevertheless thou heardest the voice of my supplications when I cried unto thee.
23 O renmen SENYÈ a, nou tout, moun fidèl yo! SENYÈ a toujou prezève moun fidèl yo, e bay pwòp rekonpans a (sila) ki plen ògèy yo.
O love the LORD, all ye his saints: [for] the LORD preserveth the faithful, and plentifully rewardeth the proud doer.
24 Kenbe fèm e kite kè ou pran kouraj, nou tout ki mete espwa nan SENYÈ a.
Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all ye that hope in the LORD.
