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. Oppose my opponents, Lord; fight those who are fighting against me.
2 Pran an men boukliye ak pwotèj la, epi leve kon sekou mwen.
Put your armor on, and pick up your shield. Get ready, come and help me.
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 your spear and your javelin, confront those who are chasing me. Tell me, “I am your 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.
Shame them! Humiliate those who are trying to kill me! Turn them back! Disgrace those who are planning to hurt me!
5 Kite yo vin tankou pay nan van, avèk zanj SENYÈ a k ap pouse yo ale.
Let them be like chaff blown by the wind; let the angel of the Lord drive them away.
6 Kite wout yo plen avèk tenèb e vin glisan, Avèk zanj SENYÈ a k ap kouri dèyè yo.
May their path be dark and slippery, with the angel of the Lord chasing them down.
7 Paske san koz, yo te kache pèlen yo pou mwen. San koz, yo te fouye yon fòs pou nanm mwen.
For no reason they set a net to catch me; for no reason they dug a pit to trap me.
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 disaster come on them suddenly; let the net they set catch them instead; let the pit they dug trap them instead.
9 Nanm mwen va rejwi nan SENYÈ a. Li va leve wo nan delivrans Li.
Then I will be glad in the Lord; I will be happy 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?”
Every part of me will say, Who can compare to you, Lord? You rescue the weak from the strong; the poor and needy from robbers.
11 Fo temwen sovaj yo leve. Yo mande mwen bagay ke m pa menm konnen.
Hostile witnesses stand up to testify against me, accusing me of crimes I don't know anything about.
12 Yo remèt mwen mal pou byen, jiskaske gwo tristès antre nan nanm mwen.
They pay me back with evil instead of good. I feel like giving up.
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 when they were sick, I put on clothes of sackcloth in sympathy. I denied myself through fasting. May my prayer for them return to bless me too.
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 was upset for them, as if they were my own friends or family; I bowed down in grief as if I was mourning my own 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 when I was in trouble, they gathered around and laughed at me. Even strangers I don't know attacked me, constantly tearing me apart.
16 Kon giyon vilgè, yo te fè konsi yo ta mòde m ak dan yo.
Like irreligious people mocking a cripple they mock me and call me names, gnashing their teeth at me.
17 SENYÈ, jiskilè Ou va kontinye gade bagay sa a konsa? Sove nanm mwen kont ravaj yo, Sèl lavi mwen genyen kont lyon yo.
How long, Lord, will you sit by and just watch? Save me from their vicious attacks; defend the only life I have from these lions.
18 Mwen va bay Ou remèsiman nan gran asanble a. Mwen va bay Ou glwa pami yon gran foul.
Then I will thank you in front of the whole congregation and praise you in front of all the 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.
Don't let my enemies take pleasure in my troubles, those people who hate me and tell lies about me, gloating over me for no reason.
20 Paske yo pa pale lapè, men yo divize pawòl nan twonpe (sila) ki kalm nan peyi yo.
They are not looking for peace; they invent malicious and deceptive schemes against innocent peace-loving people.
21 Yo te ouvri bouch yo laj kont mwen. Yo te di: “Men li, men li, zye nou te wè l!”
They open their mouths wide to make accusations against me, saying, “Look! Look! We saw it with our own eyes!”
22 Ou te wè sa, O SENYÈ, pa rete an silans O SENYÈ, pa rete lwen m.
But Lord, you've seen all this! Say something! Don't give up on me, Lord!
23 Reveye Ou! Reveye Ou pou dwa m ak koz mwen, Bondye mwen ak SENYÈ mwen.
Wake up! Get up and defend me, my Lord and my God! Take up my case and make sure justice is done!
24 Jije mwen, O SENYÈ, Bondye mwen an, selon dwati Ou. Pa kite yo rejwi sou mwen.
Vindicate me, my Lord and my God, because you are just and right. Don't let them gloat 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!”
Don't let them say to themselves, “Look! We got what we wanted!” Don't let them say, “We completely destroyed him!”
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.
Make them totally ashamed, all those who are happy for the trouble I'm in. Let those who are celebrating over me be covered with shame and dishonor.
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.”
Instead let those who are pleased I've been vindicated celebrate and shout for joy. Let them always say, “How great is the Lord! He is happy when his servants live in peace and have what they need.”
28 Konsa, lang mwen va deklare ladwati Ou avèk lwanj Ou tout lajounen.
I will tell others about your character of truth and right, praising you all day long!
