Sòm 60
1 Pou direktè koral la; selon melodi “Lis Akò La”. Yon powèm David, pou enstwi; lè l te lite avèk Aram-Naharaim e avèk Aram-Zobah; epi, Joab te retounen e te frape douz-mil Edomit nan Vale Sèl la. O Bondye, Ou te rejte nou. Ou te kraze nou. Ou te fache. O restore nou ankò.
“For the leader of the music; upon the Shushan-Eduth; a psalm of David for instruction; when he was at strife with the Syrians of Mesopotamia, and the Syrians of Zoba; when Joab returned, and smote twelve thousand Edomites in the valley of Salt.” O God! thou hast forsaken us; thou hast broken us in pieces; Thou hast been angry! O revive us again!
2 Ou te fè latè tranble. Ou te fann li pou l ouvri. Geri brèch li yo, paske l ap sekwe.
Thou hast made the land tremble; thou hast rent it; O heal its breaches, for it tottereth!
3 Ou te fè pèp Ou a wè anpil bagay di. Ou te bay nou diven pou bwè ki fè nou toudi.
Thou hast caused thy people to see hard things; Thou hast made us drink the wine of reeling.
4 Ou te bay yon drapo pou (sila) ki gen lakrent Ou yo, pou fè l byen parèt akoz verite a. Tan
Lift up a banner for them that fear thee, For the sake of thy faithfulness, that they may escape!
5 Pou byeneme Ou yo kab delivre, Sove avèk men dwat Ou e reponn nou!
That thy beloved may be delivered, Save with thy right hand, and answer me!
6 Bondye te pale nan sentete Li: “Mwen va triyonfe! Mwen va divize Sichem e tire yon lin nan vale Succoth la.
God promiseth in his holiness; I will rejoice; I shall yet divide Shechem, And measure out the valley of Succoth.
7 Galaad se pou Mwen e Manassé se pa M. Anplis, Éphraïm se kas sou tèt Mwen. Juda se baton wayal Mwen an.
Gilead shall be mine, and mine Manasseh; Ephraim shall be my helmet, And Judah my sceptre;
8 Moab se basen lave Mwen. Sou Edom, Mwen va jete soulye Mwen. Mwen rele viktwa sou peye Filisten yo.”
Moab shall be my wash-bowl; Upon Edom shall I cast my shoe; I shall triumph over Philistia!
9 Kilès k ap fè m rive nan vil fòterès la? Kilès k ap mennen mwen antre Edom?
Who will bring me to the strong city? Who will lead me into Edom?
10 Èske Ou menm, SENYÈ a, pa t rejte nou? Epi èske Ou p ap sòti avèk lame nou yo, O Bondye?
Wilt not thou, O God! who didst forsake us, And didst not go forth with our armies?
11 O bannou sekou kont advèsè a, paske delivrans pa lòm se an ven.
Give us thine aid in our distress, For vain is the help of man!
12 Nan Bondye, nou va fè bèl bagay yo ak gwo kouraj. Se Li menm ki va foule lènmi nou yo anba pye.
Through God we shall do valiantly; For he will tread down our enemies.
