Sòm 41
1 Pou direktè koral la; Yon Sòm David A la beni (sila) ki konsidere ka malere a beni! SENYÈ a va delivre li nan jou twoub li.
“To the chief musician, a psalm of David.” Happy is he that careth for the poor: on the day of evil will the Lord deliver him.
2 SENYÈ a va pwoteje li e fè l viv. Li va rele beni sou latè a. Ni li p ap livre a volonte lènmi li yo.
The Lord will preserve him, and keep him alive; he shall be made happy on the earth: and thou wilt not deliver him unto the revengeful desire of his enemies.
3 SENYÈ a va bay li soutyen lè l malad sou kabann nan. Nan maladi li, li va restore li a lasante.
The Lord will sustain him upon the bed of painful disease: thou changest all his couch in his sickness.
4 Konsa, pou mwen, mwen te di: “O SENYÈ, fè m gras. Geri nanm mwen paske mwen te peche kont Ou.”
I said, Lord, be gracious unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against thee.
5 Lènmi m yo pale mal kont mwen: “Kilè l ap mouri pou non li disparèt?”
My enemies speak evil of me, When will he die, and his name perish?
6 Si li vin wè m, li bay manti. Kè li ranmase mechanste pou kont li. Lè l sòti deyò, li pale sa.
And if he come to see [me], he speaketh falsely: his heart gathereth wickedness to itself; he goeth abroad [and] speaketh it.
7 Tout (sila) ki rayi mwen yo soufle ti pawòl nan zòrèy youn lòt. Kont mwen, yo fè plan pou donmaje mwen epi yo di:
Altogether whisper against me all that hate me: against me do they devise my injury.
8 “Yon bagay mechan gen tan pran l, pou lè l kouche, pou l pa leve ankò.”
“His godless deed [say they] is poured out over him: as he lieth there he will never more rise up again.”
9 Menm zanmi ki te pre m nan, nan (sila) mwen te mete konfyans la, li ki te manje pen mwen, te leve talon li kont mwen.
Yea, even the man that should have sought my welfare, in whom I trusted, who eateth my bread, hath lifted up his heel against me.
10 Men Ou menm, O SENYÈ, fè m gras e fè m leve pou m kab bay yo rekonpans yo.
But thou, O Lord, be gracious unto me, and raise me up, that I may requite it unto them.
11 Se konsa mwen konnen ke Ou pran plezi nan mwen. Akoz lènmi mwen an pa kriye viktwa sou mwen.
By this do I know that thou art pleased with me, that my enemy doth not triumph over me.
12 Pou mwen menm, Ou soutni mwen nan entegrite m, epi Ou mete mwen nan prezans Ou jis pou tout tan.
But as for me, thou upholdest me in my integrity, and placest me before thy presence for ever.
13 Beni se SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la, soti pou tout tan, jis rive pou tout tan. Amen e amen.
Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen. BEGIM
