Sòm 91

1 (Sila) ki rete nan abri Pi Wo a va poze nan lonbraj Toupwisan an.

He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

2 Mwen va di a SENYÈ a: “Se Li ki sitadèl mwen an, ak Bondye mwen an. Se nan Li mwen mete konfyans!”

I will say of Jehovah, He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.

3 Paske se Li menm ki delivre ou soti nan pèlen a chasè a, ak ravaj gwo maladi yo.

For he will deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, and from the deadly pestilence.

4 Li va kouvri ou ak plim Li yo. Anba zèl Li, ou kapab chache pwotèj. Fidelite Li se yon boukliye ak yon ranpa.

He will cover thee with his pinions, and under his wings shall thou take refuge. His truth is a shield and a buckler.

5 Ou p ap pè laperèz lannwit, ni flèch k ap vole lajounen,

Thou shall not be afraid for the terror by night, nor for the arrow that flies by day,

6 ni gwo maladi ki swiv nan fènwa, ni destriksyon ki devaste a midi.

for the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor for the destruction that wastes at noonday.

7 Yon milye kapab tonbe bò kote dwat ou, ak di mil sou men agoch ou, men sa p ap pwoche ou.

A thousand shall fall at thy side, and ten thousand at thy right hand, but it shall not come near thee.

8 Ou va sèlman gade avèk zye ou pou wè rekonpans a mechan yo.

Thou shall only behold with thine eyes, and see the reward of the wicked.

9 Paske ou te fè SENYÈ a, vin sekou ou, menm Pi Wo a, kote pou ou rete.

For thou, O Jehovah, are my refuge! Thou have made the Most High thy habitation.

10 Nanpwen mal k ap rive ou, Ni okenn toumant k ap pwoche tant ou.

There shall no evil befall thee, nor shall any plague come near thy tent,

11 Paske Li va bay zanj Li yo lòd konsènan ou menm, pou veye ou nan tout chemen ou yo.

for he will give his agents charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

12 Yo va leve ou byen wo nan men yo, pou ou pa frape pye ou kont wòch.

They shall bear thee up in their hands, lest thou dash thy foot against a stone.

13 Ou va pile sou lyon an ak koulèv la. Jenn lyon an avèk sèpan an, ou va foule yo nèt.

Thou shall tread upon the lion and adder. The young lion and the serpent thou shall trample under foot.

14 Paske li te renmen M konsa, pou sa, Mwen va delivre li. Mwen va mete li byen solid an wo, akoz li te rekonèt non Mwen.

Because he has set his love upon me, therefore I will deliver him. I will set him on high because he has known my name.

15 Li va fè apèl non Mwen e Mwen va reponn li. Mwen va avèk Li nan tan twoub la. Mwen va delivre li e bay li lonè.

He shall call upon me, and I will answer him. I will be with him in trouble. I will deliver him, and honor him.

16 Mwen va satisfè li avèk yon lavi ki long, e kite li wè sali mwen.

I will satisfy him with long life, and show him my salvation.
