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 psalm of the sons of Korah. For the leader of the music. Upon wind instruments. A psalm of Heman, the Ezrahite.” O LORD, God of my salvation! To thee do I cry by day, And by night is my prayer before thee!
2 Kite priyè mwen vini devan Ou. Panche zòrèy Ou vè kri mwen an!
Let my supplication come before thee; Incline thine ear to my cry!
For my soul is full of misery, And my life draweth near to the underworld. (Sheol h7585)
4 Mwen vin konte pami (sila) ki desann nan fòs yo. Mwen parèt tankou yon nonm san fòs,
I am counted with those who are going down to the pit; I am like one who hath no strength.
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.
I am left to myself among the dead, Like the slain who lie in the grave, Whom thou no more rememberest, And who are cut off from thy [[protecting]] hand.
6 Ou te mete m nan fòs pi ba a, nan plas fènwa yo, nan fon yo.
Thou hast placed me in a deep pit, In a dark and deep abyss.
7 Kòlè Ou vin poze sou mwen. Ou te aflije m ak tout vag lanmè Ou yo. Tan
Thy wrath presseth hard upon me, And thou afflictest me with all thy waves! (Pause)
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.
Thou hast put mine acquaintances far from me, Yea, thou hast made me their abhorrence: I am shut up, and cannot go forth.
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.
Mine eyes languish by reason of my affliction. I call upon thee daily, O LORD! To thee do I stretch out my hands!
10 Èske Ou va fè mirak pou mò yo? Èske lespri ki fin pati yo va leve pou bay Ou lwanj? Tan
Canst thou show wonders to the dead? Shall the dead arise, and praise thee? (Pause)
11 Èske lanmò dous Ou a va deklare nan tonbo a? Fidelite Ou nan labim nan?
Shall thy goodness be declared in the grave, Or thy faithfulness in the place of corruption?
12 Èske mirak Ou yo va fèt parèt nan tenèb la? Oswa ladwati Ou nan peyi kote tout bagay bliye yo?
Shall thy wonders be known in the dark, And thy justice in the land of forgetfulness?
13 Men anvè Ou, O SENYÈ, mwen te kriye. Nan maten, lapriyè mwen vini devan Ou.
To thee do I cry, O LORD! In the morning doth my cry come before thee.
14 O SENYÈ, poukisa Ou rejte nanm mwen? Poukisa Ou kache figi Ou kont mwen?
Why, O LORD! dost thou cast me off? Why hidest thou thy 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 have been afflicted and languishing from my youth; I suffer thy terrors, and am distracted.
16 Kòlè Ou ki brile, fin pase sou mwen. Gwo laperèz Ou yo te koupe retire m.
Thy fierce wrath overwhelmeth me; Thy terrors utterly destroy me.
17 Yo fin antoure mwen tankou dlo tout lajounen. Yo ansèkle m nèt.
They surround me daily like water; They compass me about together.
18 Ou te retire renmen mwen ak zanmi m nan lwen m nèt, ak zanmi m yo, nan tenèb.
Lover and friend hast thou put far from me; My acquaintances are withdrawn from my sight.
