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.” Contend, O LORD! with them that contend with me! Fight 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 forth the spear and the axe against my persecutors; Say to me, “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.
May they be confounded and put to shame, who seek my life; May they be turned back with disgrace, who devise my hurt!
5 Kite yo vin tankou pay nan van, avèk zanj SENYÈ a k ap pouse yo ale.
May they be like dust before the wind; May the angel of the LORD drive them!
6 Kite wout yo plen avèk tenèb e vin glisan, Avèk zanj SENYÈ a k ap kouri dèyè yo.
May their way be dark and slippery, And may the angel of the LORD pursue 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 they have laid for me a snare; Without cause they have digged for me a pit.
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.
May unforeseen destruction come upon them! May the snare which they have laid lay hold on themselves, And may they fall into destruction!
9 Nanm mwen va rejwi nan SENYÈ a. Li va leve wo nan delivrans Li.
Then shall my soul rejoice in the LORD; It shall exult in his protection.
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, Who, O LORD! is like thee, Who dost rescue the afflicted from the oppressor, The afflicted and destitute from the spoiler?
11 Fo temwen sovaj yo leve. Yo mande mwen bagay ke m pa menm konnen.
False witnesses have risen up; They charge me with that which has not entered my mind.
12 Yo remèt mwen mal pou byen, jiskaske gwo tristès antre nan nanm mwen.
They repay me evil for good; They cause bereavement to 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.
And yet I, during their sickness, clothed myself with sackcloth, And afflicted myself with fasting; And my prayer was turned to my 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 if he had been my friend or brother; I bowed down in sadness, as one mourning for 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 at my fall they rejoice, and gather themselves together; Revilers whom I know not assemble themselves against me; They tear me without ceasing.
16 Kon giyon vilgè, yo te fè konsi yo ta mòde m ak dan yo.
With base men who mock for their bread, They gnash at 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.
How long, O LORD! wilt thou look on? O rescue my life from the destruction they plot for me; My precious life from these young lions!
18 Mwen va bay Ou remèsiman nan gran asanble a. Mwen va bay Ou glwa pami yon gran foul.
I will thank thee in the great assembly! Before a numerous people I will praise thee.
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 my enemies wrongfully triumph over me; Let them not wink with the eye, who hate me without cause!
20 Paske yo pa pale lapè, men yo divize pawòl nan twonpe (sila) ki kalm nan peyi yo.
For they speak not peace; They devise deceit 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 open their mouths wide against me; They say, “Aha, aha! our eyes seeth it.”
22 Ou te wè sa, O SENYÈ, pa rete an silans O SENYÈ, pa rete lwen m.
Thou seest it, O LORD! be not silent! O LORD! be not far from me!
23 Reveye Ou! Reveye Ou pou dwa m ak koz mwen, Bondye mwen ak SENYÈ mwen.
Arouse thyself; awake for my defence! My God and my Lord, awake to my cause!
24 Jije mwen, O SENYÈ, Bondye mwen an, selon dwati Ou. Pa kite yo rejwi sou mwen.
Judge me according to thy righteousness, O Jehovah, my God! Let them not triumph 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 hearts, “Aha! we have our wish!” 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.
May they all be confounded and brought to shame, Who rejoice at my calamity! May they be clothed with ignominy and disgrace, Who exalt 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, Who favor my righteous cause; Let them ever say, “The LORD be praised, Who delighteth in the prosperity of his servant!”
28 Konsa, lang mwen va deklare ladwati Ou avèk lwanj Ou tout lajounen.
So shall my tongue speak of thy righteousness, And daily repeat thy praise.
