Sòm 22
1 Pou direktè koral la, avèk mizik bich granmaten an; Yon sòm David. Bondye mwen, Bondye mwen, poukisa Ou te abandone m? Kri a doulè sa a lwen delivrans mwen.
“To the chief musician upon Ayeleth-hashachar, a psalm of David.” My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? why art thou so far from saving me, and from the words of my loud complaint?
2 O Bondye mwen, mwen kriye pandan lajounen, men Ou pa reponn. E nan lannwit men m pa jwenn repo.
O my God! I call in the day-time, but thou answerest not; and in the night I find no rest.
3 Sepandan, Ou sen; Ou menm ki sou twòn lwanj pèp Israël la.
But thou art holy, O thou that dwellest amidst the praises of Israel.
4 Nan Ou menm, zansèt nou yo te mete konfyans yo. Yo te mete konfyans yo nan Ou, e Ou te delivre yo.
In thee did our fathers trust: they trusted, and thou didst deliver them.
5 A Ou menm, yo te kriye, e yo te delivre. Nan Ou, yo te mete konfyans yo, epi pa t desi.
Unto thee they cried, and were delivered: in thee they trusted, and were not put to shame.
6 Men mwen se yon vè, mwen pa menm yon moun. Parèt abominab devan lèzòm, e meprize pa tout moun.
But I am a worm, and not a man, a reproach of men, and despised of people.
7 Tout moun ki wè m vin moke mwen. Yo separe avèk lèv yo e yo souke tèt yo pou di:
All those who see me laugh me to scorn: they draw open their lips, they shake their head, [saying, ]
8 Li mete konfyans nan SENYÈ a. Kite Li menm delivre li. Kite Li sove li, paske Li pran plezi nan li.
“Let him throw himself on the Lord, that he may deliver him: he will save him, for he delighteth in him.”
9 Sepandan, Ou menm se (Sila) ki te fè m sòti nan vant manman m nan. Ou te fè m gen konfyans depi m t ap souse tete manman m.
Yea, thou art he that took me from the womb: thou hast been my trust when I hung on my mother's breasts.
10 Sou Ou, mwen te depann depi nesans mwen. Ou te Bondye mwen depi nan vant manman m.
Upon thee was I cast from my birth: from my mother's womb art thou my God.
11 Pa rete lwen mwen, paske gwo twoub la toupre. Paske nanpwen moun ki pou ede m.
Oh be not far from me [now]; for distress is near; for there is none to help.
12 Anpil towo vin antoure m. Towo fò a Basan yo te ansèkle m.
Many steers have encompassed me: the strong bulls of Bashan have beset me round.
13 Yo ouvri bouch yo byen laj sou mwen, tankou yon lyon voras k ap rele fò.
They have opened wide against me their mouth, [as] a ravenous and roaring lion.
14 Mwen vin vide tankou dlo. Tout zo m fin dejwente.
Like water am I poured out, and all my bones are disjointed: my heart is become like wax, it is melted in the midst of my entrails.
15 Fòs mwen vin sèch tankou cha kanari. Lang mwen kole akote nan bouch mwen. Ou fè m kouche nan pousyè lanmò a.
Like a potsherd is my strength dried up; and my tongue cleaveth to my palate; and into the dust of death hast thou laid me down.
16 Konsa, chen yo vin antoure mwen. Yon bann malfektè vin ansèkle m. Yo te pèse dwat mwen avèk pye m.
For dogs have encompassed me; the assembly of the wicked have enclosed me: like lions [they threaten] my hands and my feet.
17 Mwen kab kontwole tout zo m yo. Yo gade mwen, yo fikse zye yo sou mwen.
I may number all my bones: [while] they stare and look upon me.
18 Yo divize rad mwen pami yo. Pou vètman m, yo tire osò.
They divide my clothes among themselves, and for my garment do they cast lots.
19 Men Ou menm, O SENYÈ, pa rete lwen! Ou menm, sekou mwen, fè vit, vin rive ede m!
But thou, O Lord, be not far from me: O [thou who art] my strength, hasten to my aid.
20 Delivre nanm mwen devan nepe a, lavi mwen devan pouvwa a chen an.
Deliver from the sword my life, from the power of the dog my solitary soul.
21 Fè m sekou soti nan bouch a lyon an, soti sou kòn a bèf mawon. Wi, Ou menm te reponn mwen.
Save me from the lion's mouth; as thou hast answered me from the horns of the reem.
22 Mwen va pale non Ou a frè m yo. Nan mitan asanble a, mwen va louwe Ou.
I will relate thy name unto my brethren: in the midst of the congregation will I praise thee.
23 Ou menm ki krent SENYÈ a, louwe Li. Nou tout, desandan Jacob yo, bay Li glwa! Kanpe byen sezi devan L, nou tout, desandan Israël yo.
Ye that fear the Lord, praise him; all ye the seed of Jacob, glorify him; and be in dread of him, all ye the seed of Israel.
24 Paske Li pa t meprize ni rayi afliksyon a aflije yo. Ni Li pa t kache figi Li a li menm, men lè li te kriye a Li pou sekou, Li te tande.
For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the poor; neither hath he hidden his face from him; but when he cried unto him, he heard.
25 Se depi a Ou menm ke lwanj mwen sòti nan gran asanble a; Mwen va akonpli ve mwen yo devan (sila) ki krent Li yo.
Of thee shall be my praise in a great assembly: my vows will I pay in the presence of those who fear him.
26 Aflije yo va manje e va satisfè. (Sila) ki chache Li yo, va louwe SENYÈ a. Ke kè Ou kapab viv jis pou tout tan!
The meek shall eat and be satisfied; they who seek him shall praise the Lord: may your heart live for ever.
27 Tout ekstremite tè a nèt va sonje. Yo va vire bò kote SENYÈ a. Konsa, tout fanmi nan nasyon yo va adore devan Ou.
All the ends of the world shall remember and return unto the Lord: and all the families of the nations shall bow themselves down before thee.
28 Paske wayòm nan se pou SENYÈ a, e pouvwa Li se sou tout nasyon yo.
For the kingdom is the Lord's, and he governeth the nations.
29 Tout moun byen reyisi sou latè va manje e adore. Tout (sila) ki desann nan pousyè a va bese devan Li, Menm (sila) ki pa kab fè nanm li viv la.
All they that eat the fat of the earth shall bow themselves down; before him shall bend the knee all that are going down into the dust; for none can keep alive his own soul.
30 Jenerasyon yo va sèvi Li. Yo va pale de SENYÈ a a desandan yo k ap vini an.
Distant ages shall serve him; there shall be related of the Lord unto future generations.
31 Yo va vini. Yo va deklare ladwati Li a yon pèp ki va vin fèt. Paske Li te reyisi fè tout bagay sa a.
They will come, and will tell his righteousness unto a people yet unborn, that he hath done this.
