Sòm 5
1 Pou Direktè koral yo; fèt pou akonpanye ak flit. Yon Sòm David. Prete zòrèy Ou a pawòl mwen yo, O SENYÈ. Konsidere refleksyon mwen yo.
Yahweh, listen to me while I pray! Pay attention to me when I am groaning [because I am suffering very much].
2 Koute bri kri sekou mwen yo, Wa mwen e Bondye mwen. Pou Ou menm, mwen ap priye.
You are my King and my God. When I call to you to ask you to help me, listen to me, because you are the one to whom I pray.
3 Nan maten O SENYÈ, Ou va tande vwa mwen. Nan maten mwen va vèse bay Ou lapriyè mwen yo. M aptann, m ap veye.
Listen to me when I pray to you [each] morning, and I wait for you to reply.
4 Paske Ou se pa yon Bondye ki gen plezi nan mechanste. Nanpwen mal ki rete avèk Ou.
You are not a god who is pleased with wicked people; you do not (associate with/invite into your house) [those who do what is] evil.
5 (Sila) ki plen ògèy p ap kab kanpe devan zye Ou. Ou rayi tout (sila) ki fè inikite yo.
You do not allow those who are very proud to come to you to worship you. You hate all those who do evil things.
6 Ou detwi (sila) ki pale sa ki fo yo. SENYÈ a rayi yon nonm ki vèse san, ki twonpe moun.
You get rid of liars, and you despise those who murder [others] and those who deceive [others].
7 Men pou mwen, pa gran lanmou dous Ou a mwen va antre lakay Ou. Nan tanp sen Ou an mwen va pwostène mwen nèt an adorasyon.
Yahweh, because you love me so much and so faithfully, I come into your temple. I revere you greatly, and I bow down to worship you at your sacred temple.
8 O SENYÈ, mennen m nan ladwati Ou akoz lènmi mwen yo. Fè chemen Ou dwat devan mwen.
Yahweh, because you act righteously toward me, show me what is right for me to do. Because I have many enemies, show me clearly what you want me to do.
9 Nanpwen anyen stab nan pawòl pa yo. Anndan yo se pouriti menm. Gòj yo se yon tonm ki louvri. Yo fè flatè ak lang yo.
My enemies never say what is true; they just want to destroy [others]. The things that they say [MTY] are [as foul as] an open grave [where a corpse is decaying]. They use their tongues to tell lies.
10 Kenbe yo koupab, O Bondye. Selon pwòp manèv pa yo, kite yo tonbe! Nan fòs kantite peche yo pouse yo deyò, paske se rebèl yo ye kont Ou.
O God, declare that they are guilty [MTY] [and punish them]. Cause them to experience the same disasters/troubles that they plan to cause to happen to others. Get rid of them because they have committed many sins, and they have rebelled against you.
11 Men kite tout (sila) ki pran refij nan Ou yo, fè kè kontan. Kite yo toujou chante ak kè kontan, akoz Ou fè abri pou yo. Kite (sila) ki renmen non Ou yo kapab fè kè kontan nan Ou.
But cause that all those who go to you to be protected will rejoice; cause them to sing joyfully to you forever. Protect those who love you [MTY]; they are truly happy because (of what you [do for them/they belong to] you).
12 Paske se Ou menm ki beni nonm ki dwat la, O SENYÈ, Ou ki antoure li avèk gras Ou, tankou yon boukliye.
Yahweh, you always bless those who act righteously; you protect them like a [soldier is protected by his] shield [SIM].
