Sòm 69
1 Pou direktè koral la. Sou melodi “Lis Yo”. Yon Sòm David. Sove mwen, O Bondye, paske dlo yo fin monte jis nan kou m!
To the Overseer. — 'On the Lilies,' by David. Save me, O God, for come have waters unto the soul.
2 Mwen desann fon nan labou. Nanpwen plas pou pye m kenbe. Mwen fin rive nan dlo fon yo, e yon gwo inondasyon ap debòde sou mwen.
I have sunk in deep mire, And there is no standing, I have come into the depths of the waters, And a flood hath overflown me.
3 Mwen fatige nèt ak kriye mwen an. Gòj mwen sèk nèt. Zye m varye pandan mwen ap tann Bondye mwen an.
I have been wearied with my calling, Burnt hath been my throat, Consumed have been mine eyes, waiting for my God.
4 (Sila) ki rayi mwen san koz yo plis pase cheve sou tèt mwen. (Sila) ki ta detwi mwen yo pwisan e san rezon, yo fè lènmi avè m. Sa ke m pa t janm vòlè, mwen oblije remèt li.
Those hating me without cause Have been more than the hairs of my head, Mighty have been my destroyers, My lying enemies, That which I took not away — I bring back.
5 O Bondye, Ou konnen foli mwen. Koupabilite mwen pa kache devan Ou.
O God, Thou — Thou hast known Concerning my overturn, And my desolations from Thee have not been hid.
6 Pa kite (sila) k ap tann Ou yo vin wont akoz mwen, O Senyè BONDYE dèzame yo. Pa kite yo vin dezonere akoz mwen menm, O Bondye Israël la.
Let not those waiting on Thee be ashamed because of me, O Lord, Jehovah of Hosts, Let not those seeking Thee Blush because of me, O God of Israel.
7 Paske pou koz Ou, mwen te pote repwòch. Dezonè fin kouvri figi mwen.
For because of Thee I have borne reproach, Shame hath covered my face.
8 Mwen vin izole de frè m yo, tankou yon etranje de fis a manman m yo.
A stranger I have been to my brother, And a foreigner to sons of my mother.
9 Epi akoz zèl mwen gen pou lakay Ou, yo manje m nèt. Repwòch a (sila) ki te repwoche Ou yo te vin tonbe sou mwen.
For zeal for Thy house hath consumed me, And the reproaches of Thy reproachers Have fallen upon me.
10 Lè mwen te kriye nan nanm mwen, e te fè jèn, sa te vin yon repwòch pou mwen.
And I weep in the fasting of my soul, And it is for a reproach to me.
11 Lè m te fè twal sak sèvi kon rad mwen, mwen te vin yon vye pawòl, yon rizib pou yo menm.
And I make my clothing sackcloth, And I am to them for a simile.
12 (Sila) ki chita nan pòtay yo pale afè mwen, e moun sòt yo fè chan sou mwen.
Those sitting at the gate meditate concerning me, And those drinking strong drink, Play on instruments.
13 Men pou mwen, priyè mwen se a Ou menm, O SENYÈ, nan yon lè ki bon, nan grandè lanmou dous Ou a. Reponn mwen avèk sali verite Ou a.
And I — my prayer [is] to Thee, O Jehovah, A time of good pleasure, O God, In the abundance of Thy kindness, Answer me in the truth of Thy salvation.
14 Delivre mwen sòti nan labou a. Pa kite mwen fonse nèt ladann. Kite m delivre de sa yo ki rayi mwen yo, ak nan fon dlo yo.
Deliver me from the mire, and let me not sink, Let me be delivered from those hating me, And from deep places of waters.
15 Pa kite inondasyon dlo yo vin anvayi mwen, ni fon an vale m, ni fòs la fèmen bouch li sou mwen.
Let not a flood of waters overflow me, Nor let the deep swallow me up, Nor let the pit shut her mouth upon me.
16 Reponn mwen, O SENYÈ, paske lanmou dous Ou a bon; Selon grandè a mizerikòd Ou, vire kote mwen.
Answer me, O Jehovah, for good [is] Thy kindness, According to the abundance Of Thy mercies turn Thou unto me,
17 Pa kache figi Ou de sèvitè Ou a, paske mwen nan gwo pwoblèm. Reponn mwen vit.
And hide not Thy face from Thy servant, For I am in distress — haste, answer me.
18 Rale nanm mwen pre. Rachte l! Rachte mwen akoz lènmi mwen yo!
Be near unto my soul — redeem it, Because of mine enemies ransom me.
19 Ou konnen repwòch mwen, wont mwen, avèk dezonè mwen an. Tout advèsè mwen yo devan Ou.
Thou — Thou hast known my reproach, And my shame, and my blushing, Before Thee [are] all mine adversaries.
20 Repwòch fin kraze kè m. Mwen vin ba nèt. Mwen te chache pitye, men pa t genyen; kondoleyans, men nanpwen.
Reproach hath broken my heart, and I am sick, And I look for a bemoaner, and there is none, And for comforters, and I have found none.
21 Anplis, yo te ban mwen fyèl kon manje ak vinèg pou swaf mwen.
And they give for my food gall, And for my thirst cause me to drink vinegar.
22 Ke tab devan yo devni yon pèlen. Lè yo nan tan lapè, kite li tounen yon pyèj.
Their table before them is for a snare, And for a recompence — for a trap.
23 Ke zye yo vin twouble pou yo pa kab wè. Ke do yo koube nèt.
Darkened are their eyes from seeing, And their loins continually shake Thou.
24 Vide kòlè Ou sou yo. Ke fachèz kòlè Ou ki brile ka vini sou yo.
Pour upon them Thine indignation, And the fierceness of Thine anger doth seize them.
25 Pou kan yo kapab dezole. Pou pa gen moun ki rete ankò nan tant yo.
Their tower is desolated, In their tents there is no dweller.
26 Paske yo te pèsekite (sila) ke Ou menm te blese a. Yo pale sou doulè a (sila) ke Ou menm te blese yo.
For they have pursued him Thou hast smitten, And recount of the pain of Thy pierced ones.
27 Ogmante inikite sou inikite yo. Ni pa kite yo antre nan ladwati Ou.
Give punishment for their iniquity, And they enter not into Thy righteousness.
28 Ke yo kapab efase soti nan liv lavi a. Pou yo pa vin anrejistre nan achiv ak moun ladwati yo.
They are blotted out of the book of life, And with the righteous are not written.
29 Men mwen aflije e mwen nan doulè. Ke delivrans Ou, O Bondye kapab plase mwen an sekirite an wo.
And I [am] afflicted and pained, Thy salvation, O God, doth set me on high.
30 Mwen va louwe non Bondye avèk chan yo, epi leve Li wo avèk remèsiman.
I praise the name of God with a song, And I magnify Him with thanksgiving,
31 Se sa k ap fè kè SENYÈ kontan plis pase yon bèf, ni pase yon jenn towo avèk kòn ak zago.
And it is better to Jehovah than an ox, A bullock — horned — hoofed.
32 Enb yo te wè sa e yo kontan. Nou menm ki chache Bondye, kite kè nou reprann fòs.
The humble have seen — they rejoice, Ye who seek God — and your heart liveth.
33 Paske SENYÈ a tande malere yo, e Li pa meprize moun pa L ki prizonye yo.
For Jehovah hearkeneth unto the needy, And His bound ones He hath not despised.
34 Kite syèl la avèk tè a louwe Li, lanmè yo avèk tout sa ki fè mouvman ladann yo.
The heavens and earth do praise Him, Seas, and every moving thing in them.
35 Paske Bondye va delivre Sion e bati vil Juda yo, pou yo kab rete la e posede li.
For God doth save Zion, And doth build the cities of Judah, And they have dwelt there, and possess it.
36 Desandan a sèvitè Li yo va eritye li. (Sila) ki renmen non Li yo va rete ladann.
And the seed of His servants inherit it, And those loving His name dwell in it!
