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 Overseer. — A Psalm of David. In Thee, O Jehovah, I have trusted, Let me not be ashamed to the age, In Thy righteousness deliver me.
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.
Incline unto me Thine ear hastily, deliver me, Be to me for a strong rock, For a house of bulwarks to save me.
3 Paske Ou se wòch mwen ak sitadèl mwen, konsa, pou koz a non Ou, Ou va gide mwen.
For my rock and my bulwark [art] Thou, For Thy name's sake lead me and tend me.
4 Ou va rale m sòti nan filè ke yo te prepare an sekrè pou mwen an, paske se Ou ki fòs mwen.
Bring me out from the net that they hid 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 Thy hand I commit my spirit, Thou hast redeemed me, Jehovah God of truth.
6 Mwen rayi (sila) ki fè rega a fo zidòl yo, men nan Bondye, mwen mete konfyans mwen.
I have hated the observers of lying vanities, And I toward Jehovah have been confident.
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 rejoice, and am glad in Thy kindness, In that Thou hast seen mine affliction, Thou hast known in adversities my soul.
8 Ou pa t lage mwen nan men a lènmi an. Ou te mete pye mwen nan yon kote byen laj.
And Thou hast not shut me up, Into the hand of an enemy, Thou hast caused my feet to stand in a broad place.
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.
Favour me, O Jehovah, for distress [is] to me, Mine eye, my soul, and my body Have become old by provocation.
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 hath been consumed in sorrow And my years in sighing. Feeble because of mine iniquity hath been my strength, And my bones have become old.
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.
Among all mine adversaries I have been a reproach, And to my neighbours exceedingly, And a fear to mine acquaintances, Those seeing 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 have been forgotten as dead out of mind, I have been as a perishing 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 an evil account of many, Fear [is] round about. In their being united against me, To take my life they have devised,
14 Men pou mwen, mwen mete konfyans nan Ou, O SENYÈ. Mwen di: “Se Ou menm ki Bondye mwen”.
And I on Thee — I have trusted, O Jehovah, I have 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.
In Thy hand [are] my times, Deliver me from the hand of my enemies, And from my pursuers.
16 Fè limyè figi Ou vin parèt sou sèvitè Ou a. Sove mwen nan lanmou dous Ou a.
Cause Thy face to shine on Thy servant, Save me in Thy kindness.
O Jehovah, let me not be ashamed, For I have called Thee, let the wicked be ashamed, Let them become silent to Sheol. (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 lips of falsehood become dumb, That are speaking against the righteous, Ancient sayings, in pride and contempt.
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!
How abundant is Thy goodness, That Thou hast laid up for those fearing Thee,
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 hast wrought for those trusting in Thee, Before sons of men. Thou hidest them in the secret place of Thy presence, From artifices of man, Thou concealest them in a tabernacle, 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 [is] Jehovah, For He hath made marvellous His kindness To me in a city of bulwarks.
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.
And I — I have said in my haste, 'I have been cut off from before Thine eyes,' But Thou hast heard the voice of my supplications, In my crying 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.
Love Jehovah, all ye His saints, Jehovah is keeping the faithful, And recompensing abundantly a proud doer.
24 Kenbe fèm e kite kè ou pran kouraj, nou tout ki mete espwa nan SENYÈ a.
Be strong, and He strengtheneth your heart, All ye who are waiting for Jehovah!
