Sòm 41

1 Pou direktè koral la; Yon Sòm David A la beni (sila) ki konsidere ka malere a beni! SENYÈ a va delivre li nan jou twoub li.

Blessed is he that considers the poor: the LORD will deliver him in time of trouble.

2 SENYÈ a va pwoteje li e fè l viv. Li va rele beni sou latè a. Ni li p ap livre a volonte lènmi li yo.

The LORD will preserve him, and keep him alive; and he shall be blessed upon the earth: and you will not deliver him unto the will of his enemies.

3 SENYÈ a va bay li soutyen lè l malad sou kabann nan. Nan maladi li, li va restore li a lasante.

The LORD will strengthen him upon the bed of languishing: you will make all his bed in his sickness.

4 Konsa, pou mwen, mwen te di: “O SENYÈ, fè m gras. Geri nanm mwen paske mwen te peche kont Ou.”

I said, LORD, be merciful unto me: heal my soul; for I have sinned against you.

5 Lènmi m yo pale mal kont mwen: “Kilè l ap mouri pou non li disparèt?”

Mine enemies speak evil of me, When shall he die, and his name perish?

6 Si li vin wè m, li bay manti. Kè li ranmase mechanste pou kont li. Lè l sòti deyò, li pale sa.

And if he comes to see me, he speaks vanity: his heart gathers iniquity to itself; when he goes abroad, he tells it.

7 Tout (sila) ki rayi mwen yo soufle ti pawòl nan zòrèy youn lòt. Kont mwen, yo fè plan pou donmaje mwen epi yo di:

All that hate me whisper together against me: against me do they devise my hurt.

8 “Yon bagay mechan gen tan pran l, pou lè l kouche, pou l pa leve ankò.”

An evil disease, say they, cleaves fast unto him: and now that he lies he shall rise up no more.

9 Menm zanmi ki te pre m nan, nan (sila) mwen te mete konfyans la, li ki te manje pen mwen, te leve talon li kont mwen.

Yea, mine own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, which did eat of my bread, has lifted up his heel against me.

10 Men Ou menm, O SENYÈ, fè m gras e fè m leve pou m kab bay yo rekonpans yo.

But you, O LORD, be merciful unto me, and raise me up, that I may requite them.

11 Se konsa mwen konnen ke Ou pran plezi nan mwen. Akoz lènmi mwen an pa kriye viktwa sou mwen.

By this I know that you favour me, because mine enemy does not triumph over me.

12 Pou mwen menm, Ou soutni mwen nan entegrite m, epi Ou mete mwen nan prezans Ou jis pou tout tan.

And as for me, you uphold me in mine integrity, and set me before your face for ever.

13 Beni se SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la, soti pou tout tan, jis rive pou tout tan. Amen e amen.

Blessed be the LORD God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. Amen, and Amen.
