Sòm 7
1 Yon Sòm David, ke li te chante a SENYÈ a pou yon moun tribi Benjamin ki te rele Cush. O SENYÈ Bondye mwen an, nan Ou mwen kache. Sove mwen de tout (sila) k ap kouri dèyè m yo e fè m sekou,
For the ignoraunce of Dauid, which he songe to the Lord on the wordis of Ethiopien, the sone of Gemyny. Mi Lord God, Y haue hopid in thee; make thou me saaf fro alle that pursuen me, and delyuere thou me.
2 sof ke li ta chire nanm mwen tankou yon lyon, epi rale m akote pandan pa gen moun pou delivre m.
Lest ony tyme he as a lioun rauysche my soule; the while noon is that ayenbieth, nether that makith saaf.
3 O SENYÈ mwen, si mwen menm te fè sa, si gen enjistis nan men m,
Mi Lord God, if Y dide this thing, if wickidnesse is in myn hondis;
4 si mwen te rekonpanse mal a zanmi mwen, oswa te piyaje (sila) ki te lènmi mwen a san koz la,
if Y `yeldide to men yeldynge to me yuels, falle Y `bi disseruyng voide fro myn enemyes;
5 kite lènmi an kouri dèyè nanm mwen jiskaske li pran l, epi kite li foule lavi mwen jis atè. Fè glwa mwen kouche nèt nan pousyè a. Tan
myn enemy pursue my soule, and take, and defoule my lijf in erthe; and brynge my glorie in to dust.
6 Leve, O SENYÈ, nan kòlè Ou; leve Ou menm kont raj ladvèsè mwen yo. Leve Ou menm pou mwen; Ou menm ki te etabli jijman an.
Lord, rise thou vp in thin ire; and be thou reysid in the coostis of myn enemyes.
7 Kite asanble a tout pèp yo antoure Ou. Gouvènen yo, depi an wo.
And, my Lord God, rise thou in the comaundement, which thou `hast comaundid; and the synagoge of puplis schal cumpasse thee.
8 Se SENYÈ a ki jije pèp yo. Fè m jistis O SENYÈ, selon ladwati mwen ak jan mwen kanpe fèm.
And for this go thou ayen an hiy; the Lord demeth puplis. Lord, deme thou me bi my riytfulnesse; and bi myn innocence on me.
9 Alò, mete fen a mechanste malfektè yo, men etabli (sila) ki dwat yo. Paske se ladwati Bondye ki fè prèv nan kè avèk panse moun.
The wickidnesse of synneris be endid; and thou, God, sekyng the hertis and reynes, schalt dresse a iust man.
10 Boukliye mwen se avèk Bondye, ki sove (sila) ki dwat yo.
Mi iust help is of the Lord; that makith saaf riytful men in herte.
11 Bondye se yon jij ki jis e ki rayi enjistis chak jou.
The Lord is a iust iuge, stronge and pacient; whether he is wrooth bi alle daies?
12 Si yon nonm pa repanti, La p file nepe Li. Li deja koube banza Li; Li prèt.
If ye ben `not conuertid, he schal florische his swerd; he hath bent his bouwe, and made it redi.
13 Anplis, Li fin prepare pou kont Li zam mòtèl yo. Li fè flèch ak shaf ki brile yo.
And therynne he hath maad redi the vessels of deth; he hath fulli maad his arewis with brennynge thingis.
14 Gade byen, l ap lite nan mechanste. Wi, li plante jèm mechanste a, epi li vin bay nesans a tout sa ki fo.
Lo! he conseyuede sorewe; he peynfuli brouyte forth vnriytfulnesse, and childide wickidnesse.
15 Li te fouye yon twou, kreve l nèt, e vin tonbe nan twou ke li te fè a.
He openide a lake, and diggide it out; and he felde in to the dich which he made.
16 Mechanste li va retounen sou pwòp tèt li, e vyolans pa l ap desann sou pwòp fwon li.
His sorewe schal be turned in to his heed; and his wickidnesse schal come doun in to his necke.
17 Mwen va bay remèsiman a SENYÈ a selon ladwati Li. Mwen va chante lwanj a non SENYÈ a, Toupwisan an.
I schal knouleche to the Lord bi his riytfulnesse; and Y schal synge to the name of the hiyeste Lord.
