Sòm 80
1 Pou direktè koral la; pou jwe a “Lis Akò Yo”. Yon Sòm Asaph O prete zòrèy Ou, Bèje Israël la, Ou menm ki mennen Joseph tankou yon twoupo, Ou menm ki chita sou twòn anwo cheriben yo, se pou ou briye.
For the Chief Musician; set to Shoshannim Eduth. A Psalm of Asaph. Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, Thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; Thou that sittest [above] the cherubim, shine forth.
2 Devan Éphraïm avèk Benjamin ak Manassé, fè vire tout fòs Ou. Vin bannou sekou!
Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh, stir up thy might, And come to save us.
3 O Bondye, restore nou! Fè vizaj Ou briye sou nou e nou va sove.
Turn us again, O God; And cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.
4 O Bondye dèzame yo, pou konbyen de tan Ou va fache kont lapriyè a pèp Ou a?
O Jehovah God of hosts, How long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people?
5 Ou te bay yo pen fèt ak dlo ki t ap sòti nan zye yo. Ou te fè yo bwè dlo a zye yo an gran kantite.
Thou hast fed them with the bread of tears, And given them tears to drink in large measure.
6 Ou fè nou vin yon objè konfli devan vwazen nou yo. Lènmi nou yo ri pami yo menm.
Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbors; And our enemies laugh among themselves.
7 O Bondye dèzame yo, restore nou! Fè vizaj Ou klere sou nou e nou va sove.
Turn us again, O God of hosts; And cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.
8 Ou te rachte yon pye rezen soti an Égypte. Ou te chase mete nasyon yo deyò pou te plante li la.
Thou broughtest a vine out of Egypt: Thou didst drive out the nations, and plantedst it.
9 Ou te netwaye tè a devan l. Li te anrasine byen fon e te ranpli peyi a.
Thou preparedst [room] before it, And it took deep root, and filled the land.
10 Mòn yo te kouvri ak lonbraj li. Branch li yo te kon bwa sèd Bondye yo.
The mountains were covered with the shadow of it, And the boughs thereof were [like] cedars of God.
11 Li te voye branch li yo rive jis nan lanmè, ak boujon li yo jis nan Rivyè a.
It sent out its branches unto the sea, And its shoots unto the River.
12 Poukisa Ou te kraze tout kloti li yo, pou tout (sila) ki pase la yo kab rekòlte fwi li yo?
Why hast thou broken down its walls, So that all they that pass by the way do pluck it?
13 Yon gwo mal kochon sovaj sòti nan forè pou manje ladann e bèt sovaj chan an manje sou li.
The boar out of the wood doth ravage it, And the wild beasts of the field feed on it.
14 O Bondye dèzame yo, vire fè bak depi koulye a, nou sipliye Ou, souple. Gade soti anwo nan syèl la pou wè, e okipe pye rezen (sila) a.
Turn again, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: Look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine,
15 Menm boujon ke men dwat Ou te plante a, e branch ke Ou te bay fòs pou Ou menm nan.
And the stock which thy right hand planted, And the branch that thou madest strong for thyself.
16 Li fin brile ak dife. Li fin koupe atè nèt. Yo peri ak repwòch devan Ou.
It is burned with fire, it is cut down: They perish at the rebuke of thy countenance.
17 Kite men Ou rete sou nonm nan ki se moun men dwat Ou a, sou fis a lòm ke ou te fè pwisan pou Ou menm nan.
Let thy hand be upon the man of thy right hand, Upon the son of man whom thou madest strong for thyself.
18 Konsa, nou p ap vire fè bak kite Ou. Fè nou leve ankò e nou va rele non Ou.
So shall we not go back from thee: Quicken thou us, and we will call upon thy name.
19 O SENYÈ dezame yo, restore nou. Fè figi Ou briye sou nou e nou va sove.
Turn us again, O Jehovah God of hosts; Cause thy face to shine, and we shall be saved.
