Sòm 52
1 Pou direktè koral la. Yon Sòm David, lè Doeg, Edomit lan te vin di Saül “David gen tan rive lakay Achimélic.” Poukisa ou ògeye nan mechanste ou, O lòm pwisan? Lanmou dous Bondye a dire tout lajounen.
For the end, [a Psalm] of instruction by David, when Doec the Idumean came and told Saul, and said to him, David is gone to the house of Abimelech. Why do you, O mighty man, boast of iniquity in [your] mischief? All the day
2 Lang ou envante destriksyon, tankou yon razwa ki file, plen desepsyon.
your tongue has devised unrighteousness; like a sharpened razor you have wrought deceit.
3 Ou renmen mechanste plis pase sa ki bon. Fo bagay plis pase pale verite a.
You have loved wickedness more than goodness; unrighteousness better than to speak righteousness. (Pause)
4 Ou renmen tout pawòl ki devore, yon lang mantè.
You has loved all words of destruction, [and] a deceitful tongue.
5 Men Bondye va kase fè ou desann nèt; Li va kenbe ou byen vit e chire fè ou sòti nan tant ou an, Epi dechouke fè ou sòti nan peyi vivan yo. Tan
Therefore may God destroy you for ever, may he pluck you up and utterly remove you from [your] dwelling, and your root from the land of the living. (Pause)
6 Moun dwat yo va wè, va gen lakrent; yo va ri sou li epi di:
And the righteous shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him, and say,
7 “Gade byen, men nonm ki refize pran refij nan Bondye a, men ki te mete konfyans nan abondans richès li yo. Li te ranfòse tèt li ak mechanste.”
Behold the man who made not God his help; but trusted in the abundance of his wealth, and strengthened himself in his vanity.
8 Men pou mwen menm, mwen tankou yon pye doliv vèt lakay Bondye. Mwen mete konfyans mwen nan lanmou dous Bondye a pou tout tan e pou tout tan.
But I am as a fruitful olive in the house of God: I have trusted in the mercy of God for ever, even for evermore.
9 Mwen va bay Ou remèsiman pou tout tan, paske Ou te fè sa. Mwen va mete espwa nan non Ou, paske sa bon nan prezans a fidèl Ou yo.
I will give thanks to you for ever, for you have done [it]: and I will wait on your name; for [it is] good before the saints.
