Sòm 55
1 Pou direktè koral la; sou enstriman ak kòd yo Yon Refleksyon David Prete zòrèy a lapriyè mwen, O Bondye. Pa kache Ou menm a siplikasyon mwen yo.
To the chief music-maker, on Neginoth. Maschil. Of David. Give hearing to my prayer, O God; and let not your ear be shut against my request.
2 Prete atansyon a mwen e reponn mwen. Mwen pa alèz nan plent mwen yo. Anverite, mwen deranje nèt
Give thought to me, and let my prayer be answered: I have been made low in sorrow;
3 akoz vwa lènmi an, akoz presyon mechan an. Paske yo pote twoub desann sou mwen. Nan kòlè yo, yo pote rankin kont mwen.
I am troubled because of the voice of the cruel ones, because of the loud cry of the evil-doers; for they put a weight of evil on me, and they are cruel in their hate for me.
4 Kè m twouble anndan m. Sezisman lanmò fin tonbe sou mwen.
My heart is deeply wounded, and the fear of death has come on me.
5 Laperèz avèk tranbleman fin rive sou mwen. Mwen etone jiskaske m debòde.
Fear and shaking have come over me, with deep fear I am covered.
6 Mwen te di: “O ke m te gen zèl kon toutrèl la! Konsa, mwen ta sove ale pou twouve repo. Mwen ta demere nan dezè a.”
And I said, If only I had wings like a dove! for then I would go in flight from here and be at rest.
7 Tande byen, mwen ta rive byen lwen. Mwen ta ale rete nan savann nan. Tan
I would go wandering far away, living in the waste land. (Selah)
8 Mwen ta fè vit rive kote pou m kache kont van tanpèt la, kont move tan an.
I would quickly take cover from the driving storm and from the violent wind.
9 Mete yo nan konfizyon, O SENYÈ, divize lang yo, paske mwen te wè vyolans avèk goumen nan vil la.
Send destruction on them, O Lord, make a division of tongues among them: for I have seen fighting and violent acts in the town.
10 Lajounen kon lannwit, yo antoure vil la sou miray li yo. Inikite avèk mechanste nan mitan li.
By day and night they go round the town, on the walls; trouble and sorrow are in the heart of it.
11 Destriksyon ladann. Opresyon avèk desepsyon pa janm kite lari li yo.
Evil is there; cruel rule and deceit are ever in the streets.
12 Paske se pa lènmi an ki fè m repwòch. Konsa, mwen ta kab sipòte l. Ni se pa yon moun ki rayi mwen ki vin leve kont mwen. Konsa, mwen ta kab kache de li.
For it was not my hater who said evil of me; that would have been no grief to me; it was not one outside the number of my friends who made himself strong against me, or I would have kept myself from him in a secret place;
13 Men se ou menm, yon nonm parèy mwen, konpanyen mwen ak zanmi mwen.
But it was you, my equal, my guide, my well-loved friend.
14 Nou menm, ki te fè kominyon dous ansanm, ki te mache nan kay Bondye a nan mitan tout pèp la.
We had loving talk together, and went to the house of God in company.
15 Pou sa a Kite lanmò rive sibitman sou yo. Kite yo desann tou vivan kote mò yo ye. Paske mechanste a nan abitasyon yo, pami yo, kote yo rete a. (Sheol h7585)
Let the hand of death come on them suddenly, and let them go down living into the underworld; because evil is in their houses and in their hearts. (Sheol h7585)
16 Pou mwen, mwen va rele Bondye. SENYÈ a va sove mwen.
As for me, I will make my prayer to God, and he will be my saviour.
17 Nan aswè, nan maten ak midi, mwen va plenyen e bougonnen. Li va tande vwa m.
In the evening and in the morning and in the middle of the day I will make my prayer with sounds of grief; and my voice will come to his ears.
18 Li te rachte nanm mwen anpè, soti nan batay ki kont mwen an, malgre yo anpil, k ap lite avè m yo.
He has taken my soul away from the attack which was made against me, and given it peace; for great numbers were against me.
19 Bondye ki sou fotèy L jis pou tout tan, va tande e reponn yo. Tan Nan (sila) pa gen chanjman an. Yo pa gen krent Bondye a.
God will give thought to me; he who from early times is strong will send pain and trouble on them. (Selah) Because they are unchanged, they have no fear of God.
20 Li te lonje men li kont moun ki te nan lapè avèk li a. Li te vyole akò li a.
He has put out his hand against those who were at peace with him; he has not kept his agreement.
21 Pawòl li te pi dous pase bè, men ak kè, li te fè lagè. Pawòl li yo te pi dous pase lwil, men se nepe rale yo te ye.
The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart; his words were softer than oil, but they were sharp swords.
22 Voye fado ou sou SENYÈ a, e Li va bay ou soutyen. Li p ap janm kite moun ladwati yo ebranle.
Put your cares on the Lord, and he will be your support; he will not let the upright man be moved.
23 Men Ou menm, O Bondye, va rale yo desann nan fòs destriksyon an. Moun ki vèse san e ki bay manti p ap rive fè mwatye nan jou yo. Men mwen menm va mete konfyans nan Ou.
But you, O God, will send them down into the underworld; the cruel and the false will be cut off before half their days are ended; but I will have faith in you.
