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?
A Psalme to give instruction, committed to Asaph. O God, why hast thou put vs away for euer? why is thy wrath kindled against the sheepe 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.
Thinke vpon thy Congregation, which thou hast possessed of olde, and on the rod of thine inheritance, which thou hast redeemed, and on this mount Zion, wherein 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 vp thy strokes, that thou mayest for euer destroy euery enemie that doeth euill to the Sanctuarie.
4 Advèsè Ou yo te vin anraje nan mitan kote asanble Ou a. Yo fin monte pwòp drapo yo kon avètisman an.
Thine aduersaries roare in the middes of thy Congregation, and set vp their banners for signes.
5 Yo aji kòn yon moun k ap leve rach li nan mitan yon forè bwa.
He that lifted the axes vpon the thicke trees, was renowmed, as one, that brought a thing to perfection:
6 Epi koulye a, tout travay skilpti li yo, yo kraze ak rach avèk mato.
But nowe they breake downe the carued worke thereof with axes and hammers.
7 Yo fin brile sanktiyè Ou a jis rive atè. Yo te souye abitasyon ki fèt nan non Ou an.
They haue cast thy Sanctuarie into the fire, and rased it to the grounde, and haue defiled the dwelling place of thy Name.
8 Yo te pale nan kè yo: “Annou kraze yo nèt.” Yo te brile tout kote asanble Bondye nan tout peyi a.
They saide in their hearts, Let vs destroy them altogether: they haue burnt all the Synagogues 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 see not our signes: there is not one Prophet more, nor any with vs that knoweth howe 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?
O God, howe long shall the aduersarie reproche thee? shall the enemie blaspheme thy Name for euer?
11 Poukisa Ou retire men Ou? Sitou men dwat Ou? Fè l parèt sòti anndan lestonmak Ou pou detwi yo!
Why withdrawest thou thine hand, euen thy right hand? drawe it out of thy bosome, and consume them.
12 Men Bondye se Wa mwen depi nan tan ansyen yo. Li te fè zèv delivrans nan mitan latè.
Euen God is my King of olde, working saluation in the middes of the earth.
13 Ou te divize lanmè a ak fòs kouraj Ou. Ou te kraze tèt gwo bèt lanmè yo.
Thou didest deuide the sea by thy power: thou brakest 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 brakest the head of Liuiathan in pieces, and gauest him to be meate for the people in wildernesse.
15 Ou te fè pete sous ki koule dlo fre. Ou te seche gwo rivyè pwisan yo.
Thou brakest vp the fountaine and riuer: thou dryedst vp mightie riuers.
16 Jou yo se pou Ou, anplis, nwit yo se pou Ou. Ou te prepare limyè a avèk solèy la.
The day is thine, and the night is thine: thou hast prepared the light and the sunne.
17 Ou te etabli tout lizyè latè yo. Ou te fè sezon ete ak sezon livè.
Thou hast set all the borders of the earth: thou hast 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 enemie hath reproched the Lord, and the foolish people hath blasphemed thy Name.
19 Pa livre nanm a toutrèl Ou a bèt sovaj yo. Pa bliye lavi aflije Ou yo pou tout tan.
Giue not the soule of thy turtle doue vnto the beast, and forget not the Congregation of thy poore for euer.
20 Konsidere akò Ou, paske kote fènwa yo nan tout latè a, plen ak abitasyon vyolans yo.
Consider thy couenant: for the darke places of the earth are full of the habitations of the cruell.
21 Pa kite oprime yo retounen nan gwo wont. Kite aflije yo ak malere yo louwe Non Ou.
Oh let not the oppressed returne ashamed, but let the poore and needie prayse thy Name.
22 Leve, O Bondye! Plede koz Ou! Sonje jan lòm plen foli meprize Ou tout lajounen.
Arise, O God: mainteine thine owne cause: remember thy dayly reproche by the foolish man.
23 Pa bliye vwa advèsè Ou yo. Gwo zen a (sila) ki leve kont Ou yo monte tout tan, san rete.
Forget not the voyce of thine enemies: for the tumult of them, that rise against thee, ascendeth continually.
