Sòm 74
1 Yon Sòm Asaph O Bondye, poukisa Ou te rejte nou pou tout tan? Poukisa kòlè Ou fè lafimen kont mouton patiraj Ou an?
O God, why have thou cast off forever? Why does thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?
2 Sonje asanble Ou a, ke Ou te achte depi tan ansyen yo, sa yo ke Ou te rachte pou fè tribi eritaj pa Ou: Mòn Sion (sila) a, kote Ou te abite.
Remember thy congregation, which thou have gotten of old, which thou have redeemed to be the tribe of thine inheritance, and mount Zion, at which thou have dwelt.
3 Vire pa Ou yo pou rive kote mazi ki kraze nèt yo, kote lènmi a fin fè tout mechanste li anndan sanktiyè a.
Lift up thy feet to the perpetual ruins, all the evil that the enemy has done in the sanctuary.
4 Advèsè Ou yo te vin anraje nan mitan kote asanble Ou a. Yo fin monte pwòp drapo yo kon avètisman an.
Thine adversaries have roared in the midst of thine assembly. They have set up their ensigns for signs.
5 Yo aji kòn yon moun k ap leve rach li nan mitan yon forè bwa.
They seemed as men who lifted up axes upon a thicket of trees.
6 Epi koulye a, tout travay skilpti li yo, yo kraze ak rach avèk mato.
And now they break down all the carved work of it with hatchet and hammers.
7 Yo fin brile sanktiyè Ou a jis rive atè. Yo te souye abitasyon ki fèt nan non Ou an.
They have set thy sanctuary on fire. They have profaned the dwelling-place of thy name to the ground.
8 Yo te pale nan kè yo: “Annou kraze yo nèt.” Yo te brile tout kote asanble Bondye nan tout peyi a.
They said in their heart, Let us make havoc of them altogether. They have burned up all the meeting-places of God in the land.
9 Nou paz ankò wè mèvèy yo. Nanpwen pwofèt ankò. Ni pa genyen pami nou ki konnen konbyen de tan sa va dire.
We do not see our signs. There is no more any prophet, nor is there among us he who knows how long.
10 Konbyen de tan, O Bondye, advèsè a va moke nou ak mo brile? Èske se pou tout tan lènmi an va giyonnen non Ou konsa?
How long, O God, shall the adversary reproach? Shall the enemy blaspheme thy name forever?
11 Poukisa Ou retire men Ou? Sitou men dwat Ou? Fè l parèt sòti anndan lestonmak Ou pou detwi yo!
Why do thou draw back thy hand, even thy right hand? Remove it from the midst of thy bosom.
12 Men Bondye se Wa mwen depi nan tan ansyen yo. Li te fè zèv delivrans nan mitan latè.
Yet God is my King of old, working salvation in the midst of the earth.
13 Ou te divize lanmè a ak fòs kouraj Ou. Ou te kraze tèt gwo bèt lanmè yo.
Thou divided the sea by thy strength. Thou break the heads of the sea-monsters in the waters.
14 Ou te kraze tèt Levyatan an. Ou te bay li kon manje pou bèt sovaj.
Thou break the heads of leviathan in pieces. Thou gave him to be food to the people inhabiting the wilderness.
15 Ou te fè pete sous ki koule dlo fre. Ou te seche gwo rivyè pwisan yo.
Thou split fountain and flood. Thou dried up mighty rivers.
16 Jou yo se pou Ou, anplis, nwit yo se pou Ou. Ou te prepare limyè a avèk solèy la.
The day is thine; the night is also thine. Thou have prepared the light and the sun.
17 Ou te etabli tout lizyè latè yo. Ou te fè sezon ete ak sezon livè.
Thou have set all the borders of the earth. Thou have made summer and winter.
18 Sonje bagay sa a, O SENYÈ, ke lènmi yo te meprize Ou, e yon pèp ki plen ak foli te refize non Ou.
Remember this, that the enemy has reproached, O Jehovah, and that a foolish people has blasphemed thy name.
19 Pa livre nanm a toutrèl Ou a bèt sovaj yo. Pa bliye lavi aflije Ou yo pou tout tan.
O deliver not the soul of thy turtle-dove to the wild beast. Forget not the life of thy poor forever.
20 Konsidere akò Ou, paske kote fènwa yo nan tout latè a, plen ak abitasyon vyolans yo.
Have respect to the covenant, for the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of violence.
21 Pa kite oprime yo retounen nan gwo wont. Kite aflije yo ak malere yo louwe Non Ou.
O let not he who is oppressed return ashamed. Let a poor and needy man praise thy name.
22 Leve, O Bondye! Plede koz Ou! Sonje jan lòm plen foli meprize Ou tout lajounen.
Arise, O God, plead thine own cause. Remember how the foolish man reproaches thee all the day.
23 Pa bliye vwa advèsè Ou yo. Gwo zen a (sila) ki leve kont Ou yo monte tout tan, san rete.
Forget not the voice of thine adversaries. The tumult of those who rise up against thee ascends continually.
