Sòm 34
1 Yon Sòm David lè l te parèt tankou moun fou devan Abimélec ki te pouse l ale, epi konsa, li te pati. Mwen va beni SENYÈ a nan tout tan. Lwanj Li va toujou nan bouch mwen.
By David; when he pretended to be insane before Abimelech, who drove him away, and he departed. I will bless the LORD at all times. His praise will always be in my mouth.
2 Nanm mwen va fè glwa li nan SENYÈ a. Enb yo va tande l, e yo va rejwi.
My soul shall boast in the LORD. The humble shall hear of it and be glad.
3 O leve SENYÈ a byen wo avè m. Annou leve non L wo ansanm.
Oh magnify the LORD with me. Let’s exalt his name together.
4 Mwen te chache SENYÈ a e Li te reponn mwen, epi te delivre mwen de tout perèz mwen yo.
I sought the LORD, and he answered me, and delivered me from all my fears.
5 Yo te gade vè Li, e te vin ranpli ak limyè. Figi yo p ap janm wont.
They looked to him, and were radiant. Their faces shall never be covered with shame.
6 Malere (sila) a te rele, e SENYÈ a te tande li, epi te sove li sòti nan tout twoub li yo.
This poor man cried, and the LORD heard him, and saved him out of all his troubles.
7 Zanj SENYÈ a fè kan antoure (sila) ki krent Li yo, epi li sove yo nan gwo twoub.
The LORD’s angel encamps around those who fear him, and delivers them.
8 O goute e wè ke Bondye bon. A la beni nonm ki kache nan Li a beni!
Oh taste and see that the LORD is good. Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him.
9 Krent SENYÈ a, O nou menm ki sen Li yo. Pou (sila) ki krent Li yo, anyen pa manke.
Oh fear the LORD, you his holy ones, for there is no lack with those who fear him.
10 Jenn ti lyon yo konn manke manje e soufri grangou, men (sila) ki chache SENYÈ yo, p ap manke okenn bon bagay.
The young lions do lack, and suffer hunger, but those who seek the LORD shall not lack any good thing.
11 Vini, pitit, koute mwen. Mwen va enstwi ou nan lakrent SENYÈ a.
Come, you children, listen to me. I will teach you the fear of the LORD.
12 Se ki moun ki dezire lavi, e renmen jou li yo pou li kapab wè sa ki bon?
Who is someone who desires life, and loves many days, that he may see good?
13 Kenbe lang ou apa de sa ki mal, e lèv ou pou pa bay manti.
Keep your tongue from evil, and your lips from speaking lies.
14 Kite sa ki mal la epi fè sa ki bon. Chache lapè e fè efò pou twouve li.
Depart from evil, and do good. Seek peace, and pursue it.
15 Zye a SENYÈ a sou (sila) ki dwat yo. Zòrèy Li koute kri yo.
The LORD’s eyes are towards the righteous. His ears listen to their cry.
16 Figi SENYÈ a kont malfektè yo, pou efase memwa yo sou tè a.
The LORD’s face is against those who do evil, to cut off their memory from the earth.
17 Moun dwat kriye. SENYÈ a tande e vin delivre yo tout nan tout twoub yo.
The righteous cry, and the LORD hears, and delivers them out of all their troubles.
18 SENYÈ a pre (sila) ak kè kase yo, epi sove (sila) ki kraze nan lespri yo.
The LORD is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit.
19 Anpil, se afliksyon a moun dwat la, men SENYÈ a delivre li sòti nan yo tout.
Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the LORD delivers him out of them all.
20 Li konsève tout zo li yo. Pa menm youn nan yo va kase.
He protects all of his bones. Not one of them is broken.
21 Se mechanste ki va touye mechan an. (Sila) ki rayi moun ladwati yo va kondane.
Evil shall kill the wicked. Those who hate the righteous shall be condemned.
22 SENYÈ a rachte nanm a sèvitè Li yo. P ap gen nan (sila) ki kache nan Li yo k ap kondane.
The LORD redeems the soul of his servants. None of those who take refuge in him shall be condemned.
