Sòm 35
1 Yon Sòm David Fè fòs SENYÈ, kont (sila) k ap sèvi ak fòs kont mwen yo. Goumen ak (sila) k ap goumen kont mwen yo.
[A Psalm] of David. Strive thou, O Jehovah, with them that strive with me: Fight thou against them that fight against me.
2 Pran an men boukliye ak pwotèj la, epi leve kon sekou mwen.
Take hold of shield and buckler, And stand up for my help.
3 Anplis rale lans ak rach batay la pou rankontre (sila) k ap kouri dèyè m yo. Pale ak nanm mwen “Se Mwen ki delivrans ou”!
Draw out also the spear, and stop the way against them that pursue me: Say unto my soul, I am thy salvation.
4 Kite (sila) k ap chache lavi m yo vin wont e dezonere. Kite sa yo ki anvizaje mal pou mwen Vire do fè bak plen imiliyasyon.
Let them be put to shame and brought to dishonor that seek after my soul: Let them be turned back and confounded that devise my hurt.
5 Kite yo vin tankou pay nan van, avèk zanj SENYÈ a k ap pouse yo ale.
Let them be as chaff before the wind, And the angel of Jehovah driving [them] on.
6 Kite wout yo plen avèk tenèb e vin glisan, Avèk zanj SENYÈ a k ap kouri dèyè yo.
Let their way be dark and slippery, And the angel of Jehovah pursuing them.
7 Paske san koz, yo te kache pèlen yo pou mwen. San koz, yo te fouye yon fòs pou nanm mwen.
For without cause have they hid for me their net [in] a pit; Without cause have they digged [a pit] for my soul.
8 Kite l fin detwi nèt san l pa konnen. Kite pèlen ke li te prepare a, kenbe li menm. Kite l tonbe nan destriksyon sa a.
Let destruction come upon him unawares; And let his net that he hath hid catch himself: With destruction let him fall therein.
9 Nanm mwen va rejwi nan SENYÈ a. Li va leve wo nan delivrans Li.
And my soul shall be joyful in Jehovah: It shall rejoice in his salvation.
10 Tout zo m menm va di: “SENYÈ, se kilès ki tankou Ou menm? Kilès ki delivre aflije yo nan men a (sila) ki twò fò pou li yo? Wi, ak aflije e malere yo k ap soti nan men a (sila) menm k ap vòlè yo?”
All my bones shall say, Jehovah, who is like unto thee, Who deliverest the poor from him that is too strong for him, Yea, the poor and the needy from him that robbeth him?
11 Fo temwen sovaj yo leve. Yo mande mwen bagay ke m pa menm konnen.
Unrighteous witnesses rise up; They ask me of things that I know not.
12 Yo remèt mwen mal pou byen, jiskaske gwo tristès antre nan nanm mwen.
They reward me evil for good, [To] the bereaving of my soul.
13 Men pou mwen menm, lè yo te malad, rad mwen te vin twal sak; Mwen te imilye nanm mwen nan fè jèn, epi lapriyè m te kontinye retounen nan kè m.
But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth: I afflicted my soul with fasting; And my prayer returned into mine own bosom.
14 Mwen te ale toupatou konsi se te zanmi mwen, oswa frè mwen. Mwen te koube ak gwo tristès, tankou yon moun ta fè dèy pou manman li.
I behaved myself as though it had been my friend or my brother: I bowed down mourning, as one that bewaileth his mother.
15 Men moman ke m te chape tonbe a, yo te rejwi, e te reyini yo ansanm. San ke mwen pa menm konnen, agresè sa yo te rasanble kont mwen. Yo t ap chire m san rete.
But in mine adversity they rejoiced, and gathered themselves together: The abjects gathered themselves together against me, and I knew [it] not; They did tear me, and ceased not:
16 Kon giyon vilgè, yo te fè konsi yo ta mòde m ak dan yo.
Like the profane mockers in feasts, They gnashed upon me with their teeth.
17 SENYÈ, jiskilè Ou va kontinye gade bagay sa a konsa? Sove nanm mwen kont ravaj yo, Sèl lavi mwen genyen kont lyon yo.
Lord, how long wilt thou look on? Rescue my soul from their destructions, My darling from the lions.
18 Mwen va bay Ou remèsiman nan gran asanble a. Mwen va bay Ou glwa pami yon gran foul.
I will give thee thanks in the great assembly: I will praise thee among much people.
19 Pa kite (sila) ki lènmi m san koz yo, rejwi sou mwen. Ni pa kite (sila) ki rayi mwen san koz yo, fè kout zye sou mwen.
Let not them that are mine enemies wrongfully rejoice over me; Neither let them wink with the eye that hate me without a cause.
20 Paske yo pa pale lapè, men yo divize pawòl nan twonpe (sila) ki kalm nan peyi yo.
For they speak not peace; But they devise deceitful words against them that are quiet in the land.
21 Yo te ouvri bouch yo laj kont mwen. Yo te di: “Men li, men li, zye nou te wè l!”
Yea, they opened their mouth wide against me; They said, Aha, aha, our eye hath seen it.
22 Ou te wè sa, O SENYÈ, pa rete an silans O SENYÈ, pa rete lwen m.
Thou hast seen it, O Jehovah; keep not silence: O Lord, be not far from me.
23 Reveye Ou! Reveye Ou pou dwa m ak koz mwen, Bondye mwen ak SENYÈ mwen.
Stir up thyself, and awake to the justice [due] unto me, [Even] unto my cause, my God and my Lord.
24 Jije mwen, O SENYÈ, Bondye mwen an, selon dwati Ou. Pa kite yo rejwi sou mwen.
Judge me, O Jehovah my God, according to thy righteousness; And let them not rejoice over me.
25 Pa kite yo di nan kè yo: “Men konsa, men sa nou pi pito a!” Pa kite yo di: “Nou gen tan fin vale li nèt!”
Let them not say in their heart, Aha, so would we have it: Let them not say, We have swallowed him up.
26 Kite (sila) ki rejwi nan gwo twoub mwen yo wont. Kite (sila) ki leve yo menm sou mwen yo vin abiye ak wont avèk imilyasyon.
Let them be put to shame and confounded together that rejoice at my hurt: Let them be clothed with shame and dishonor that magnify themselves against me.
27 Kite (sila) ki vle wè kòz dwat mwen yo rele avèk jwa e rejwi. Kite yo di tout tan: “Leve SENYÈ a wo, Li ki pran plezi lè sèvitè li byen reyisi.”
Let them shout for joy, and be glad, that favor my righteous cause: Yea, let them say continually, Jehovah be magnified, Who hath pleasure in the prosperity of his servant.
28 Konsa, lang mwen va deklare ladwati Ou avèk lwanj Ou tout lajounen.
And my tongue shall talk of thy righteousness [And] of thy praise all the day long.
