Sòm 88
1 Yon Chan. Yon Sòm a fis Koré yo Pou direktè Koral la; selon melodi “Soufrans Afliksyon An”. Yon refleksyon pa Héman, Ezrachit la O SENYÈ, Bondye sali mwen an, Mwen te kriye fò lajounen kon lannwit devan Ou.
[A Song. A Psalm by the sons of Korah. For the Chief Musician. To the tune of "The Suffering of Affliction." A contemplation by Heman, the Ezrahite.] Jehovah, the God of my salvation, I have cried day and night before you.
2 Kite priyè mwen vini devan Ou. Panche zòrèy Ou vè kri mwen an!
Let my prayer enter into your presence. Turn your ear to my cry.
For my soul is full of troubles. My life draws near to Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
4 Mwen vin konte pami (sila) ki desann nan fòs yo. Mwen parèt tankou yon nonm san fòs,
I am counted among those who go down into the pit. I am like a man who has no help,
5 abandone pami mò yo, tankou (sila) ki te touye e kouche nan tonm lan. (Sila) a nou pa sonje ankò menm, ki koupe retire nan men Ou.
set apart among the dead, like the slain who lie in the grave, whom you remember no more. They are cut off from your hand.
6 Ou te mete m nan fòs pi ba a, nan plas fènwa yo, nan fon yo.
You have laid me in the lowest pit, in the darkest depths.
7 Kòlè Ou vin poze sou mwen. Ou te aflije m ak tout vag lanmè Ou yo. Tan
Your wrath lies heavily on me. You have afflicted me with all your waves. (Selah)
8 Ou te retire tout moun mwen konnen byen lwen m. Ou te fè m yon objè abominab devan yo. Mwen fèmen anndan nèt e mwen pa kab sòti.
You have taken my friends from me. You have made me an abomination to them. I am confined, and I can't escape.
9 Zye m gen tan pouri akoz afliksyon. Mwen te rele Ou chak jou, O SENYÈ. Mwen te lonje men m yo vè Ou menm.
My eyes are dim from grief. I have called on you daily, Jehovah. I have spread out my hands to you.
10 Èske Ou va fè mirak pou mò yo? Èske lespri ki fin pati yo va leve pou bay Ou lwanj? Tan
Do you show wonders to the dead? Do the dead rise up and praise you? (Selah)
11 Èske lanmò dous Ou a va deklare nan tonbo a? Fidelite Ou nan labim nan?
Is your loving kindness declared in the grave? Or your faithfulness in Destruction?
12 Èske mirak Ou yo va fèt parèt nan tenèb la? Oswa ladwati Ou nan peyi kote tout bagay bliye yo?
Are your wonders made known in the dark? Or your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
13 Men anvè Ou, O SENYÈ, mwen te kriye. Nan maten, lapriyè mwen vini devan Ou.
But to you, Jehovah, I have cried. In the morning, my prayer comes before you.
14 O SENYÈ, poukisa Ou rejte nanm mwen? Poukisa Ou kache figi Ou kont mwen?
Jehovah, why do you reject my soul? Why do you hide your face from me?
15 Mwen te aflije e prèt pou mouri depi nan jenès mwen. Pandan mwen soufri gwo laperèz Ou yo, mwen distrè nèt.
I am afflicted and ready to die from my youth up. While I suffer your terrors, I am distracted.
16 Kòlè Ou ki brile, fin pase sou mwen. Gwo laperèz Ou yo te koupe retire m.
Your fierce wrath has gone over me. Your terrors have cut me off.
17 Yo fin antoure mwen tankou dlo tout lajounen. Yo ansèkle m nèt.
They came around me like water all day long. They completely engulfed me.
18 Ou te retire renmen mwen ak zanmi m nan lwen m nèt, ak zanmi m yo, nan tenèb.
You have put lover and friend far from me, and my friends into darkness.
