Psalms 55
1 To the chief music-maker, on Neginoth. Maschil. Of David. Give hearing to my prayer, O God; and let not your ear be shut against my request.
Pou chèf sanba yo. Se sou enstriman mizik akòd pou yo jwe mizik la. Se yon chante David. Bondye, panche zòrèy ou bò kote m'! Koute m' non lè m'ap lapriyè! Piga ou vire do ban mwen lè m'ap rele nan pye ou!
2 Give thought to me, and let my prayer be answered: I have been made low in sorrow;
Pran ka mwen, koute m', reponn mwen non! Kè m' sere, m'ap plenn!
3 I am troubled because of the voice of the cruel ones, because of the loud cry of the evil-doers; for they put a weight of evil on me, and they are cruel in their hate for me.
Mwen boulvèse lè m' tande lènmi m' yo ap pale, lè m' tande mechan yo ap pale byen fò. Yo fè malè tonbe sou mwen. Yo move sou mwen, y'ap pèsekite m'.
4 My heart is deeply wounded, and the fear of death has come on me.
Mwen santi kè m' kase. Sezisman pran m' lè m' wè mwen fin mouri.
5 Fear and shaking have come over me, with deep fear I am covered.
Tout kò m' ap tranble tèlman mwen sezi.
6 And I said, If only I had wings like a dove! for then I would go in flight from here and be at rest.
Mwen di konsa: -Pa pito m' te gen zèl tankou yon toutrèl! Mwen ta vole ale. Mwen ta jwenn kote pou m' pran repo.
7 I would go wandering far away, living in the waste land. (Selah)
Mwen ta kouri pati ale byen lwen. Mwen t'aval rete pou kont mwen nan dezè a.
8 I would quickly take cover from the driving storm and from the violent wind.
Mwen ta prese jwenn yon kote pou m' kache pou gwo van an, pou gwo lapli a pa fè m' anyen.
9 Send destruction on them, O Lord, make a division of tongues among them: for I have seen fighting and violent acts in the town.
Seyè, mele yo. Fè yonn pa konprann sa lòt ap di. Paske, sa m' wè nan lavil la se chen manje chen, yonn ap goumen ak lòt.
10 By day and night they go round the town, on the walls; trouble and sorrow are in the heart of it.
Lajounen kou lannwit se sa ase ou tande nan lavil la. Anndan lavil la menm, se mechanste, se malfezans.
11 Evil is there; cruel rule and deceit are ever in the streets.
Kote ou pase se moun k'ap kraze brize. Nan tout lari se fè moun lenjistis, se twonpe moun.
12 For it was not my hater who said evil of me; that would have been no grief to me; it was not one outside the number of my friends who made himself strong against me, or I would have kept myself from him in a secret place;
Si se te yon moun ki rayi m' ki t'ap pale m' mal, mwen ta reziyen m'. Si se te yon moun ki pa vle wè m' ki te leve dèyè mwen, mwen ta kache kò m' pou l' pa jwenn mwen.
13 But it was you, my equal, my guide, my well-loved friend.
Men, se ou menm, kanmarad mwen, yon bon zanmi m' ki te konn tout ti zafè m'.
14 We had loving talk together, and went to the house of God in company.
Nou te konn fè ti koze nou ansanm. Nou te konn al lakay Bondye a ansanm ak foul moun yo.
15 Let the hand of death come on them suddenly, and let them go down living into the underworld; because evil is in their houses and in their hearts. (Sheol h7585)
Se pou yo rete konsa, yo tonbe yo mouri. Se pou yo desann tou vivan kote mò yo ye a, paske mechanste a kaye lakay yo, li nan fon kè yo. (Sheol h7585)
16 As for me, I will make my prayer to God, and he will be my saviour.
Men, mwen rele Seyè a, Bondye mwen; l'a delivre mwen.
17 In the evening and in the morning and in the middle of the day I will make my prayer with sounds of grief; and my voice will come to his ears.
Maten, midi, aswè, m'ap plenyen, m'ap plenn. L'a tande vwa mwen.
18 He has taken my soul away from the attack which was made against me, and given it peace; for great numbers were against me.
L'a fè m' viv ak kè poze, l'a delivre m' nan batay m'ap mennen ak moun ki leve dèyè m' yo. Yo te mèt anpil.
19 God will give thought to me; he who from early times is strong will send pain and trouble on them. (Selah) Because they are unchanged, they have no fear of God.
Bondye k'ap gouvènen depi tout tan an va koute m', l'a kraze lògèy yo. Paske, yo p'ap janm chanje, yo pa gen krentif pou Bondye.
20 He has put out his hand against those who were at peace with him; he has not kept his agreement.
Moun ki leve men sou zanmi yo se moun ki trèt.
21 The words of his mouth were smoother than butter, but war was in his heart; his words were softer than oil, but they were sharp swords.
Pawòl nan bouch yo pi dous pase siwo. Men, nan fon kè yo se yon sèl bagay yo konnen: se goumen. Pawòl yo koule dous tankou lwil, men lang yo se razwa.
22 Put your cares on the Lord, and he will be your support; he will not let the upright man be moved.
Renmèt sò ou nan men Seyè a, l'a kenbe ou fèm. Li p'ap janm kite moun ki mache dwat devan li yo rete atè lè yo tonbe.
23 But you, O God, will send them down into the underworld; the cruel and the false will be cut off before half their days are ended; but I will have faith in you.
Men ou menm, Bondye, w'ap fè bann ansasen sa yo ak bann vòlè sa yo desann anba tè. Yo p'ap wè mwatye nan lavi yo. Men, mwen menm, se nan ou m'ap mete tout konfyans mwen.
