Sòm 49
1 Pou direktè koral la; Yon Sòm fis a Koré yo Tande sa, tout pèp yo! Prete zòrèy nou, tout (sila) ki rete nan mond la!
To victorie, a salm to the sones of Chore. Alle ye folkis, here these thingis; alle ye that dwellen in the world, perseyue with eeris.
2 Ni ba, ni wo, rich ak malere ansanm.
Alle the sones of erthe and the sones of men; togidere the riche man and the pore in to oon.
3 Bouch mwen va pale sajès, epi meditasyon a kè m va vin konprann.
Mi mouth schal speke wisdom; and the thenkyng of myn herte schal speke prudence.
4 Mwen va apiye zòrèy mwen vè yon pwovèb. Mwen va eksprime yon devinèt sou ap la.
I schal bouwe doun myn eere in to a parable; Y schal opene my resoun set forth in a sautree.
5 Poukisa mwen ta gen krent nan move jou yo, Lè inikite a lènmi m yo antoure m?
Whi schal Y drede in the yuel dai? the wickidnesse of myn heele schal cumpasse me.
6 Malgre (sila) ki mete konfyans nan richès yo, ak ògeye nan kantite fòs lajan yo—
Whiche tristen in her owne vertu; and han glorie in the multitude of her richessis.
7 nanpwen moun ki kab sou okenn mwayen sove frè li, ni li p ap kab bay Bondye yon racha pou li.
A brother ayenbieth not, schal a man ayenbie? and he schal not yyue to God his plesyng.
8 Paske redanmsyon nanm li koute chè. Kèlkeswa sa li peye pa janm ase,
And he schal not yyue the prijs of raunsum of his soule; and he schal trauele with outen ende,
9 pou l ta viv toujou jis pou letènite, pou li pa ta janm tonbe nan pouriti menm.
and he schal lyue yit in to the ende.
10 Paske li wè ke menm moun saj yo mouri. (Sila) ki bèt ak (sila) ki fou yo mouri menm jan. Yo kite byen yo pou lòt yo.
He schal not se perischyng, whanne he schal se wise men diynge; the vnwise man and fool schulen perische togidere. And thei schulen leeue her richessis to aliens;
11 Yo reflechi anndan kè yo ke kay yo se pou tout tan, epi kote yo rete a se pou tout jenerasyon yo. Yo te rele peyi yo a menm non ak yo.
and the sepulcris of hem ben the housis of hem with outen ende. The tabernaclis of hem ben in generacioun and generacioun; thei clepiden her names in her londis.
12 Men yon nonm, malgre gran ògèy li, p ap dire. Li tankou bèt yo ki peri.
A man, whanne he was in honour, vndurstood not; he is comparisound to vnwise beestis, and he is maad lijk to tho.
13 Konsa, sa se chemen a (sila) ki manke sajès yo, ak (sila) ki swiv yo, e ki vin dakò avèk pawòl yo.
This weie of hem is sclaundir to hem; and aftirward thei schulen plese togidere in her mouth.
14 Tankou mouton, yo fin apwente pou rive nan sejou lanmò. Lanmò va bèje yo. Moun dwat yo va domine sou yo nan maten. Men fòm yo va fini nèt pa sejou lanmò a, lwen gran kay yo. (Sheol h7585)
As scheep thei ben set in helle; deth schal gnawe hem. And iust men schulen be lordis of hem in the morewtid; and the helpe of hem schal wexe eld in helle, for the glorie of hem. (Sheol h7585)
15 Men Bondye va rachte nanm mwen soti pouvwa a sejou lanmò a, paske Bondye va resevwa m. (Sheol h7585)
Netheles God schal ayenbie my soule from the power of helle; whanne he schal take me. (Sheol h7585)
16 Ou pa bezwen pè lè yon nonm vin rich, lè glwa lakay li vin ogmante.
Drede thou not, whanne a man is maad riche; and the glorie of his hows is multiplied.
17 Paske lè l mouri li p ap pote anyen ale. Glwa li a p ap swiv li desann.
For whanne he schal die, he schal not take alle thingis; and his glorie schal not go doun with him.
18 Sepandan, pandan l ap viv, li bat bravo pou pwòp tèt li— Malgre moun ta bay ou glwa lè ou fè byen pou pwòp tèt ou—
For his soule schal be blessid in his lijf; he schal knouleche to thee, whanne thou hast do wel to hym.
19 li va ale nan jenerasyon a zansèt li yo. Yo p ap janm wè limyè an.
He schal entre til in to the generaciouns of hise fadris; and til in to with outen ende he schal not se liyt.
20 Lòm, nan pwòp glwa avèk ògèy li, poutan, san konprann, Se tankou bèt ki peri.
A man, whanne he was in honour, vndurstood not; he is comparisound to vnwise beestis, and is maad lijk to tho.
