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 Chief Musician. On stringed instruments. A contemplation by David. Listen to my prayer, God. Don’t hide yourself from my supplication.
2 Prete atansyon a mwen e reponn mwen. Mwen pa alèz nan plent mwen yo. Anverite, mwen deranje nèt
Attend to me, and answer me. I am restless in my complaint, and 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 bring suffering on me. In anger they hold a grudge against me.
4 Kè m twouble anndan m. Sezisman lanmò fin tonbe sou mwen.
My heart is severely pained within me. The terrors of death have fallen on me.
5 Laperèz avèk tranbleman fin rive sou mwen. Mwen etone jiskaske m debòde.
Fearfulness and trembling have come on me. Horror has 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.”
I said, “Oh that I had wings like a dove! Then I would fly away, and be at rest.
7 Tande byen, mwen ta rive byen lwen. Mwen ta ale rete nan savann nan. Tan
Behold, then I would 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 hurry to a shelter from the stormy wind and storm.”
9 Mete yo nan konfizyon, O SENYÈ, divize lang yo, paske mwen te wè vyolans avèk goumen nan vil la.
Confuse them, Lord, and confound their language, 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 prowl around on its walls. Malice and abuse are also within her.
11 Destriksyon ladann. Opresyon avèk desepsyon pa janm kite lari li yo.
Destructive forces are within her. Threats and lies don’t depart from her 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 an enemy who insulted me, then I could have endured it. Neither was it he who hated me who raised himself up against me, then I would have hidden myself from him.
13 Men se ou menm, yon nonm parèy mwen, konpanyen mwen ak zanmi mwen.
But it was you, a man like me, 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 fellowship together. We walked in God’s house with 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 death come suddenly on them. Let them go down alive into Sheol. For wickedness is among them, in their dwelling. (Sheol h7585)
16 Pou mwen, mwen va rele Bondye. SENYÈ a va sove mwen.
As for me, I will call on God. Yahweh will save me.
17 Nan aswè, nan maten ak midi, mwen va plenyen e bougonnen. Li va tande vwa m.
Evening, morning, and at noon, I will cry out in distress. He will hear 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 has redeemed my soul in peace from the battle that was against me, although there are many who oppose 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, who is enthroned forever, will hear and answer them. (Selah) They never change and don’t fear God.
20 Li te lonje men li kont moun ki te nan lapè avèk li a. Li te vyole akò li a.
He raises his hands against his friends. He has violated 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.
His mouth was smooth as butter, but his heart was war. His words were softer than oil, yet they were drawn swords.
22 Voye fado ou sou SENYÈ a, e Li va bay ou soutyen. Li p ap janm kite moun ladwati yo ebranle.
Cast your burden on Yahweh and he will sustain you. He will never allow 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 you, God, will bring them down into the pit of destruction. Bloodthirsty and deceitful men shall not live out half their days, but I will trust in you.
