Sòm 32
1 Yon Sòm David. Yon Sòm Refleksyon A la beni se (sila) ki padone pou transgresyon li, pou peche li ki kouvri a!
[A Psalm] of instruction by David. Blessed [are they] whose transgressions are forgiven, and who sins are covered.
2 A la nonm beni se (sila) SENYÈ a pa jije kon koupab la, e nan lespri a (sila) ki pa gen manti a.
Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin, and whose mouth there is no guile.
3 Lè m te kenbe silans selon peche mwen, kò m te desann bese nèt e mwen t ap plenyen tout lajounen.
Because I kept silence, my bones waxed old, from my crying all the day.
4 Paske lajounen kon lannwit, men Ou te lou sou mwen. Fòs mwen te epwize vin bese tankou gwo chalè nan gran sezon ete. Tan
For day and night your hand was heavy upon me: I became thoroughly miserable while a thorn was fastened in [me]. (Pause)
5 Mwen te vin rekonèt peche m devan Ou, e inikite mwen, mwen pa t ankò kache. Mwen te di: “Mwen va konfese transgresyon mwen yo a SENYÈ a”, epi Ou te padone koupabilite m pou peche mwen yo.
I acknowledged my sin, and hid not mine iniquity: I said, I will confess mine iniquity to the Lord against myself; and you forgave the ungodliness of my heart. (Pause)
6 Konsa, kite tout (sila) ki fidèl yo priye vè Ou menm, nan yon lè ke Ou toujou disponib. Anverite, nan gran flèv dlo yo, yo p ap kab rive kote Li ankò.
Therefore shall every holy one pray to you in a fit time: only in the deluge of many waters they shall not come near to him.
7 Ou se kote ke m konn kache a. Ou pwoteje mwen kont gwo twoub. Ou antoure mwen avèk chanson delivrans yo.
You are my refuge from the affliction that encompasses me; my joy, to deliver me from them that have compassed me. (Pause)
8 Mwen va enstwi ou e fè ou aprann chemen nan (sila) ou dwe ale a. Mwen va bay ou konsèy avèk zye M sou ou.
I will instruct you and guide you in this way wherein you shall go: I will fix mine eyes upon you.
9 Pa fè tankou cheval oswa milèt ki pa gen konprann menm, ki nan tout sikonstans, oblije gen brid ak bosal ki pou ralanti yo. Otreman, yo p ap vin kote ou.
Be you not as horse and mule, which have no understanding; [but you must] constrain their jaws with bit and curb, lest they should come near to you.
10 Anpil se tristès a mechan yo, men (sila) ki mete konfyans li nan SENYÈ a, se lanmou dous ki va antoure li.
Many are the scourges of the sinner: but him that hopes in the Lord mercy shall compass about.
11 Fè kè kontan nan SENYÈ a e rejwi, nou menm ki jis! Rele avèk jwa, nou tout ki dwat nan kè nou yo.
Be glad in the Lord, and exult, you righteous: and glory, all you that are upright in heart.
