Sòm 88
1 Chante sa a se yon sòm pitit Kore yo. Pou chèf sanba yo. Fè yo chante ansanm tankou timoun lekòl. Se chante Eman, moun lavil Ezra. Seyè, Bondye, se ou menm ki delivrans mwen! Lajounen kou lannwit m'ap rele nan pye ou!
A Song, a psalm of the Korahites. To the leader: according to Mahalath Leannoth. A Maskil of Heman the Ezrahite. O Lord my God, I cry for help in the day-time, in the night my cry is before you;
2 Se pou lapriyè m' rive nan zòrèy ou. Koute byen sa m'ap mande ou.
let my prayer come into your presence, incline your ear to my cry.
For I am sated with sorrow, my life draws near to Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
4 Mwen tankou moun ki sou dènye souf li, tankou moun ki pa gen fòs ankò.
I am counted with those who go down to the pit; without strength am I.
5 Mwen tonbe atè tankou yon moun mouri, tankou yon moun yo touye ki kouche nan simityè. Wi, tankou yon moun ou bliye nèt, tankou yon moun ou pa ka fè anyen ankò pou li.
My home is among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom you remember no more cut off as they are from your hand.
6 Ou voye m' jete nan yon gwo twou byen fon, kote ki fè nwa anpil, nan yon twou san fon.
In the deepest pit you have put me, in shadows deep and dark.
7 Mwen santi ou ankòlè anpil sou mwen. Se kraze w'ap kraze m' anba men ou.
Your wrath lies heavy upon me, waves of your anger roll over me. (Selah)
8 Ou fè tout zanmi m' yo lage m'. Yo yonn pa ka santi m' bò kote yo! Mwen fèmen yon kote mwen pa ka soti.
You have put my friends far from me, you have made them shun me. I am shut in, and cannot escape,
9 Je m' ap boule m' tèlman m'ap soufri. Seyè, se chak jou m'ap rele ou, m'ap louvri de bra m' ba ou!
my eyes are wasted with sorrow. I call on you, Lord, every day, spreading my hands out to you.
10 Eske se pou moun mouri ou fè mirak? Eske mò ka leve pou fè lwanj ou?
For the dead can you work wonders? Can the shades rise again to praise you? (Selah)
11 Eske moun ki anba tè ka fè konnen jan ou renmen nou? Eske moun ki nan twou san fon an ka fè konnen jan ou toujou kenbe pawòl ou?
Can your kindness be told in the grave, your faithfulness in the tomb?
12 Eske moun ki nan fènwa a ka wè mèvèy ou yo? Eske moun ki nan peyi kote yo bliye tout bagay la ka wè jan ou bon!
Can your wonders be known in the darkness, or your help in the land of forgetfulness?
13 Seyè, m'ap rele ou vin ede mwen. Se chak maten m'ap lapriyè nan pye ou.
I cry for help to you, in the morning my prayer comes before you.
14 Seyè, poukisa ou voye m' jete lwen ou konsa? Poukisa ou kache figi ou pou mwen?
Why, O Lord, do you spurn me, and hide your face from me?
15 Depi mwen jenn gason se soufri m'ap soufri, m'ap pase ra lanmò. Ou sitèlman pini mwen, mwen pa konn sa pou m' fè ankò.
From my youth I am wretched and dying, I am numbed by the terrors I bear.
16 Nan kòlè ou, ou fè m' pase kont tray mwen. Se fini ou fini avè m' tèlman ou pini m'.
The fires of your wrath have passed over me, your terrors destroy me,
17 Tout lajounen ou sènen m' tankou dlo inondasyon, ou fèmen m' toupatou.
surging around me forever, hemming me in altogether.
18 Ou te fè tout kanmarad mwen yo ak zanmi m' yo vire do ban mwen. Moun mwen te konn rakonte ti koze m' yo disparèt.
Those who love me you put far from me; the dark is my only friend.
