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.
“For the leader of the music. A psalm of David.” Happy is he who hath regard to the poor! The LORD will deliver him in time of trouble.
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 happy on the earth; Thou wilt not give him up to the will 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 strengthen him upon the bed of disease; All his bed thou wilt change 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, O LORD! be merciful to me! Heal me, 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.
If one come to see me, he speaketh falsehood; His heart gathereth malice; When he goeth abroad, he uttereth 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:
All that hate me whisper together against me; Against me do they devise mischief:
8 “Yon bagay mechan gen tan pran l, pou lè l kouche, pou l pa leve ankò.”
“A deadly disease cleaveth fast unto him; He lieth down, and he shall never arise!”
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, my familiar friend in whom I trusted, who did eat of my bread, —He 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 do thou, O LORD! have pity upon me; Raise me up, that I may requite them!
11 Se konsa mwen konnen ke Ou pran plezi nan mwen. Akoz lènmi mwen an pa kriye viktwa sou mwen.
By this I know that thou favorest me, Because 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.
As for me, thou wilt uphold me in my integrity; Thou wilt set me before thy face for ever!
13 Beni se SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la, soti pou tout tan, jis rive pou tout tan. Amen e amen.
[Praised be Jehovah, the God of Israel, From everlasting to everlasting. Amen! Amen!]
