< 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 music director. A psalm (maskil) of David, concerning the time when Doeg the Edomite went to Saul and told him, “David has gone to the home of Ahimelech.” You great man, why do you boast about the evil things you've done? God's trustworthy love lasts all day long.
2 Lang ou envante destriksyon, tankou yon razwa ki file, plen desepsyon.
You plot to make people suffer; your words cut like a sharp razor, you liar!
3 Ou renmen mechanste plis pase sa ki bon. Fo bagay plis pase pale verite a.
You love evil more than good, and telling lies more than speaking the truth. (Selah)
4 Ou renmen tout pawòl ki devore, yon lang mantè.
You love slanderous words that destroy others, you liar!
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
But God will strike you down so hard you'll never get up. He will grab hold of you and drag you from your tent. He will tear you out of the land of the living. (Selah)
6 Moun dwat yo va wè, va gen lakrent; yo va ri sou li epi di:
Those who do right will see all this. They will be astonished and laugh, 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.”
“See what happens to those who don't go to God for help but instead rely on their great wealth and strength—which only brings their destruction!”
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'm like an olive tree growing strongly in God's house. I trust in God's unfailing love forever 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 you forever, God, for all you have done. In the presence of your trustworthy people, I will place my hope in the kind of person you are, for you are good.
