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?
An Instruction of Asaph. Why, O God, hast Thou cast off for ever? Thine anger smoketh against the flock 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 company. Thou didst purchase of old, Thou didst redeem the rod of Thy inheritance, This mount Zion — Thou didst dwell in it.
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 steps to the perpetual desolations, Everything the enemy did 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.
Roared have thine adversaries, In the midst of Thy meeting-places, They have set their ensigns as ensigns.
5 Yo aji kòn yon moun k ap leve rach li nan mitan yon forè bwa.
He is known as one bringing in on high Against a thicket of wood — axes.
6 Epi koulye a, tout travay skilpti li yo, yo kraze ak rach avèk mato.
And now, its carvings together With axe and hatchet they break down,
7 Yo fin brile sanktiyè Ou a jis rive atè. Yo te souye abitasyon ki fèt nan non Ou an.
They have sent into fire Thy sanctuary, to the earth they polluted the tabernacle 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 said in their hearts, 'Let us oppress them together,' They did burn 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.
Our ensigns we have not seen, There is no more a prophet, Nor with us is one knowing 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?
Till when, O God, doth an adversary reproach? Doth an enemy despise 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 back Thy hand, Even Thy right hand? From the midst of Thy bosom remove [it].
12 Men Bondye se Wa mwen depi nan tan ansyen yo. Li te fè zèv delivrans nan mitan latè.
And 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 hast broken by Thy strength a sea -[monster], Thou hast shivered Heads of dragons by the waters,
14 Ou te kraze tèt Levyatan an. Ou te bay li kon manje pou bèt sovaj.
Thou hast broken the heads of leviathan, Thou makest him food, For the people of the dry places.
15 Ou te fè pete sous ki koule dlo fre. Ou te seche gwo rivyè pwisan yo.
Thou hast cleaved a fountain and a stream, Thou hast dried up perennial flowings.
16 Jou yo se pou Ou, anplis, nwit yo se pou Ou. Ou te prepare limyè a avèk solèy la.
Thine [is] the day, also Thine [is] the night, Thou hast prepared a light giver — the sun.
17 Ou te etabli tout lizyè latè yo. Ou te fè sezon ete ak sezon livè.
Thou hast set up all the borders of earth, Summer and winter Thou hast formed them.
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 — an enemy reproached Jehovah, And a foolish people have despised Thy name.
19 Pa livre nanm a toutrèl Ou a bèt sovaj yo. Pa bliye lavi aflije Ou yo pou tout tan.
Give not up to a company, The soul of Thy turtle-dove, The company of Thy poor ones forget not for ever.
20 Konsidere akò Ou, paske kote fènwa yo nan tout latè a, plen ak abitasyon vyolans yo.
Look attentively to the covenant, For the dark places of earth, Have been full of habitations of violence.
21 Pa kite oprime yo retounen nan gwo wont. Kite aflije yo ak malere yo louwe Non Ou.
Let not the oppressed turn back ashamed, Let the poor and needy praise Thy name,
22 Leve, O Bondye! Plede koz Ou! Sonje jan lòm plen foli meprize Ou tout lajounen.
Arise, O God, plead Thy plea, Remember Thy reproach from a fool 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 noise of Thy withstanders is going up continually!
