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.
To the Overseer. — 'Concerning the Lily of Testimony,' a secret treasure of David, to teach, in his striving with Aram-Naharaim, and with Aram-Zobah, and Joab turneth back and smiteth Edom in the valley of Salt — twelve thousand. O God, Thou hadst cast us off, Thou hadst broken us — hadst been angry! — Thou dost turn back to us.
2 Ou te fè latè tranble. Ou te fann li pou l ouvri. Geri brèch li yo, paske l ap sekwe.
Thou hast caused the land to tremble, Thou hast broken it, Heal its breaches, for it hath moved.
3 Ou te fè pèp Ou a wè anpil bagay di. Ou te bay nou diven pou bwè ki fè nou toudi.
Thou hast shewn Thy people a hard thing, Thou hast caused us to drink wine of trembling.
4 Ou te bay yon drapo pou (sila) ki gen lakrent Ou yo, pou fè l byen parèt akoz verite a. Tan
Thou hast given to those fearing thee an ensign. To be lifted up as an ensign Because of truth. (Selah)
5 Pou byeneme Ou yo kab delivre, Sove avèk men dwat Ou e reponn nou!
That Thy beloved ones may be drawn out, Save [with] Thy right hand, and answer us.
6 Bondye te pale nan sentete Li: “Mwen va triyonfe! Mwen va divize Sichem e tire yon lin nan vale Succoth la.
God hath spoken in His holiness: I exult — I apportion Shechem, And the valley of Succoth I measure,
7 Galaad se pou Mwen e Manassé se pa M. Anplis, Éphraïm se kas sou tèt Mwen. Juda se baton wayal Mwen an.
Mine [is] Gilead, and mine [is] Manasseh, And Ephraim [is] the strength of my head, Judah [is] my lawgiver,
8 Moab se basen lave Mwen. Sou Edom, Mwen va jete soulye Mwen. Mwen rele viktwa sou peye Filisten yo.”
Moab [is] my pot for washing, over Edom I cast my shoe, Shout, concerning me, O Philistia.
9 Kilès k ap fè m rive nan vil fòterès la? Kilès k ap mennen mwen antre Edom?
Who doth bring me [to] a city of bulwarks? Who hath led me unto Edom?
10 Èske Ou menm, SENYÈ a, pa t rejte nou? Epi èske Ou p ap sòti avèk lame nou yo, O Bondye?
Is it not Thou, O God? hast Thou cast us off? And dost Thou not go forth, O God, with our hosts!
11 O bannou sekou kont advèsè a, paske delivrans pa lòm se an ven.
Give to us help from adversity, And vain [is] the deliverance 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.
In God we do mightily, And He treadeth down our adversaries!
