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?
Understanding for Asaph. O God, why hast thou cast us off unto the end: why is thy wrath enkindled 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 hast possessed from the beginning. The sceptre of thy inheritance which thou hast redeemed: mount Sion in which thou hast 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 hands against their pride unto the end; see what things the enemy hath done wickedly 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.
And they that hate thee have made their boasts, in the midst of thy solemnity. They have set up their ensigns for signs,
5 Yo aji kòn yon moun k ap leve rach li nan mitan yon forè bwa.
And they knew not both in the going out and on the highest top. As with axes in a wood of trees,
6 Epi koulye a, tout travay skilpti li yo, yo kraze ak rach avèk mato.
They have cut down at once the gates thereof, with axe and hatchet they have brought it down.
7 Yo fin brile sanktiyè Ou a jis rive atè. Yo te souye abitasyon ki fèt nan non Ou an.
They have set fire to thy sanctuary: they have defiled the dwelling place of thy name on the earth.
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, the whole kindred of them together: Let us abolish all the festival days of God from 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.
Our signs we have not seen, there is now no prophet: and he will know us no more.
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 enemy reproach: is the adversary to provoke thy name for ever?
11 Poukisa Ou retire men Ou? Sitou men dwat Ou? Fè l parèt sòti anndan lestonmak Ou pou detwi yo!
Why dost thou turn away thy hand: and thy right hand out of the midst of thy bosom for ever?
12 Men Bondye se Wa mwen depi nan tan ansyen yo. Li te fè zèv delivrans nan mitan latè.
But God is our king before ages: he hath wrought 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 by thy strength didst make the sea firm: thou didst crush the heads of the dragons in the waters.
14 Ou te kraze tèt Levyatan an. Ou te bay li kon manje pou bèt sovaj.
Thou hast broken the heads of the dragon: thou hast given him to be meat for the people of the Ethiopians.
15 Ou te fè pete sous ki koule dlo fre. Ou te seche gwo rivyè pwisan yo.
Thou hast broken up the fountains and the torrents: thou hast dried up the Ethan rivers.
16 Jou yo se pou Ou, anplis, nwit yo se pou Ou. Ou te prepare limyè a avèk solèy la.
Thine is the day, and thine is the night: thou hast made the morning light and the sun.
17 Ou te etabli tout lizyè latè yo. Ou te fè sezon ete ak sezon livè.
Thou hast made all the borders of the earth: the summer and the spring were formed by thee.
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, the enemy hath reproached the Lord: and a foolish people hath provoked thy name.
19 Pa livre nanm a toutrèl Ou a bèt sovaj yo. Pa bliye lavi aflije Ou yo pou tout tan.
Deliver not up to beasts the souls that confess to thee: and forget not to the end the souls of thy poor.
20 Konsidere akò Ou, paske kote fènwa yo nan tout latè a, plen ak abitasyon vyolans yo.
Have regard to thy covenant: for they that are the obscure of the earth have been filled with dwellings of iniquity.
21 Pa kite oprime yo retounen nan gwo wont. Kite aflije yo ak malere yo louwe Non Ou.
Let not the humble be turned away with confusion: the poor and needy shall praise thy name.
22 Leve, O Bondye! Plede koz Ou! Sonje jan lòm plen foli meprize Ou tout lajounen.
Arise, O God, judge thy own cause: remember thy reproaches with which the foolish man hath reproached 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 voices of thy enemies: the pride of them that hate thee ascendeth continually.
