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.
To the chief Musician: an instruction. Of David; when Doeg the Edomite came and told Saul, and said unto him, David came to the house of Ahimelech. Why boastest thou thyself in evil, thou mighty man? The loving-kindness of God [abideth] continually.
2 Lang ou envante destriksyon, tankou yon razwa ki file, plen desepsyon.
Thy tongue deviseth mischievous things, like a sharp razor, practising deceit.
3 Ou renmen mechanste plis pase sa ki bon. Fo bagay plis pase pale verite a.
Thou hast loved evil rather than good, lying rather than to speak righteousness. (Selah)
4 Ou renmen tout pawòl ki devore, yon lang mantè.
Thou hast loved all devouring words, O 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
God shall likewise destroy thee for ever; he shall take thee away, and pluck thee out of [thy] tent, and root thee out of the land of the living. (Selah)
6 Moun dwat yo va wè, va gen lakrent; yo va ri sou li epi di:
The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him, [saying, ]
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 that made not God his strength, but put confidence in the abundance of his riches, [and] strengthened himself in his avarice.
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 as for me, I am like a green olive-tree in the house of God: I will confide in the loving-kindness of God for ever and ever.
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 praise thee for ever, because thou hast done [it]; and I will wait on thy name, before thy godly ones, for it is good.
