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.
For the Leader; with string-music. Maschil of David. Give ear, O God, to my prayer; and hide not Thyself from my supplication.
2 Prete atansyon a mwen e reponn mwen. Mwen pa alèz nan plent mwen yo. Anverite, mwen deranje nèt
Attend unto me, and hear me; I am distraught in my complaint, and will moan;
3 akoz vwa lènmi an, akoz presyon mechan an. Paske yo pote twoub desann sou mwen. Nan kòlè yo, yo pote rankin kont mwen.
Because of the voice of the enemy, because of the oppression of the wicked; for they cast mischief upon me, and in anger they persecute me.
4 Kè m twouble anndan m. Sezisman lanmò fin tonbe sou mwen.
My heart doth writhe within me; and the terrors of death are fallen upon me.
5 Laperèz avèk tranbleman fin rive sou mwen. Mwen etone jiskaske m debòde.
Fear and trembling come upon me, and horror hath overwhelmed me.
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: 'Oh that I had wings like a dove! then would I fly away, and be at rest.
7 Tande byen, mwen ta rive byen lwen. Mwen ta ale rete nan savann nan. Tan
Lo, then would I wander far off, I would lodge in the wilderness. (Selah)
8 Mwen ta fè vit rive kote pou m kache kont van tanpèt la, kont move tan an.
I would haste me to a shelter from the stormy wind and tempest.'
9 Mete yo nan konfizyon, O SENYÈ, divize lang yo, paske mwen te wè vyolans avèk goumen nan vil la.
Destroy, O Lord, and divide their tongue; for I have seen violence and strife in the city.
10 Lajounen kon lannwit, yo antoure vil la sou miray li yo. Inikite avèk mechanste nan mitan li.
Day and night they go about it upon the walls thereof; iniquity also and mischief are in the midst of it.
11 Destriksyon ladann. Opresyon avèk desepsyon pa janm kite lari li yo.
Wickedness is in the midst thereof; oppression and guile depart not from her broad place.
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 an enemy that taunted me, then I could have borne it; neither was it mine adversary that did magnify himself against me, then I would have hid myself from him.
13 Men se ou menm, yon nonm parèy mwen, konpanyen mwen ak zanmi mwen.
But it was thou, a man mine equal, my companion, and my familiar friend;
14 Nou menm, ki te fè kominyon dous ansanm, ki te mache nan kay Bondye a nan mitan tout pèp la.
We took sweet counsel together, in the house of God we walked with the throng.
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)
May He incite death against them, let them go down alive into the nether-world; for evil is in their dwelling, and within them. (Sheol h7585)
16 Pou mwen, mwen va rele Bondye. SENYÈ a va sove mwen.
As for me, I will call upon God; and the LORD shall save me.
17 Nan aswè, nan maten ak midi, mwen va plenyen e bougonnen. Li va tande vwa m.
Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I complain, and moan; and He hath heard my voice.
18 Li te rachte nanm mwen anpè, soti nan batay ki kont mwen an, malgre yo anpil, k ap lite avè m yo.
He hath redeemed my soul in peace so that none came nigh me; for they were many that strove with 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 shall hear, and humble them, even He that is enthroned of old, (Selah) such as have no changes, and fear not God.
20 Li te lonje men li kont moun ki te nan lapè avèk li a. Li te vyole akò li a.
He hath put forth his hands against them that were at peace with him; he hath profaned his covenant.
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.
Smoother than cream were the speeches of his mouth, but his heart was war; his words were softer than oil, yet were they keen-edged swords.
22 Voye fado ou sou SENYÈ a, e Li va bay ou soutyen. Li p ap janm kite moun ladwati yo ebranle.
Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and He will sustain thee; He will never suffer the righteous to 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 Thou, O God, wilt bring them down into the nethermost pit; men of blood and deceit shall not live out half their days; but as for me, I will trust in Thee.
