Sòm 32
1 Se yon kantik David. Ala bon sa bon pou yon moun lè Bondye pa gade sou fòt li fè, lè Bondye padonnen peche l' yo!
Of David. A maskil. Happy those whose transgression is pardoned, whose sin is covered.
2 Ala bon sa bon pou yon moun lè Seyè a pa mande l' kont pou sa li fè ki mal, lè li pa gen okenn lide twonpe Bondye!
Happy are those, free from falseness of spirit, to whom the Lord reckons no debt of guilt.
3 Tank mwen pa t' ankò vle rekonèt peche m' yo, mwen t'ap cheche sou pye. Tout lajounen, mwen t'ap plenn.
When I held my peace, my bones wore away with my endless groaning;
4 Lajounen kou lannwit ou t'ap kale m', Seyè. Mwen fin rann tout ji mwen, tankou tè sèk nan sezon chalè.
for day and night did your hand lie heavy upon me. The sap of my life was dried up as with fierce summer-heat. (Selah)
5 Lè sa a, mwen rekonèt peche m' yo devan ou, mwen pa t' kache ou sa m' te fè ki mal. Mwen di: M'ap rakonte Seyè a tout bagay. Apre sa, ou te padonnen tout peche m' yo.
I began to acknowledge my sin, not concealing my guilt; and the moment I vowed to confess to the Lord my transgression, then you yourself did pardon the guilt of my sin. (Selah)
6 Se konsa, moun k'ap sèvi ou ak tout kè yo gen pou lapriyè ou lè yo nan tray. Si yo nan gwo dlo, anyen p'ap rive yo.
For this cause let all who are faithful pray to you in the time of distress; then, when the great waters rush, they will not reach to him.
7 Se bò kote ou mwen vin kache. Jou malè w'ap delivre m'. M'ap chante fè konnen jan ou pwoteje m'.
For you are my shelter, you protect me from trouble, and surround me with deliverance. (Selah)
8 Seyè a di: M'a louvri lespri ou sou anpil bagay. M'a moutre ou chemen pou ou swiv la. M'a ba ou bon konsèy. M'ap voye je sou ou.
‘With my eye steadfastly upon you, I will instruct and teach you The way you should go.
9 Pa fè tankou chwal osinon tankou milèt ki san konprann. Yo blije mete bosal ak brid nan bouch yo pou donte yo. Si se pa sa, ou pa ka pwoche bò kote yo.
Do not be like the horse or the mule, that have no understanding, but need bridle and halter to curb them, else they will not come near to you.’
10 Mechan yo gen pou yo soufri anpil. Men, Seyè a ap toujou pwoteje moun ki met konfyans yo nan li paske li renmen yo.
The godless have many sorrows, but those who trust in the Lord will be compassed about by his kindness.
11 Nou tout k'ap viv jan Bondye vle l' la, fè kè nou kontan, chante pou sa Seyè a fè pou nou. Nou tout k'ap mache dwat devan Bondye, rele, fè wè jan nou kontan.
Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, you righteous; and ring out your joy, all you upright in heart.
