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 Overseer. — A Psalm of David. O the happiness of him Who is acting wisely unto the poor, In a day of evil doth Jehovah 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.
Jehovah doth preserve him and revive him, He is happy in the land, And Thou givest him not into 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.
Jehovah supporteth on a couch of sickness, All his bed Thou hast turned in his weakness.
4 Konsa, pou mwen, mwen te di: “O SENYÈ, fè m gras. Geri nanm mwen paske mwen te peche kont Ou.”
I — I said, 'O Jehovah, favour me, Heal my soul, for I did sin against Thee,'
5 Lènmi m yo pale mal kont mwen: “Kilè l ap mouri pou non li disparèt?”
Mine enemies say evil of me: When he dieth — his name hath perished!
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 came to see — vanity he speaketh, His heart gathereth iniquity to itself, He goeth out — at the street he speaketh.
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 hating me whisper together against me, Against me they devise evil to me:
8 “Yon bagay mechan gen tan pran l, pou lè l kouche, pou l pa leve ankò.”
A thing of Belial is poured out on him, And because he lay down he riseth not 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.
Even mine ally, in whom I trusted, One eating my bread, made great the heel against me,
10 Men Ou menm, O SENYÈ, fè m gras e fè m leve pou m kab bay yo rekonpans yo.
And Thou, Jehovah, favour me, And cause me to rise, And I give recompence to them.
11 Se konsa mwen konnen ke Ou pran plezi nan mwen. Akoz lènmi mwen an pa kriye viktwa sou mwen.
By this I have known, That Thou hast delighted in me, Because my enemy shouteth not over me.
12 Pou mwen menm, Ou soutni mwen nan entegrite m, epi Ou mete mwen nan prezans Ou jis pou tout tan.
As to me, in mine integrity, Thou hast taken hold upon me, And causest me to stand before Thee to the age.
13 Beni se SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la, soti pou tout tan, jis rive pou tout tan. Amen e amen.
Blessed [is] Jehovah, God of Israel, From the age — and unto the age. Amen and Amen.
