Psalms 69
1 For the end, [a Psalm] of David, for alternate [strains]. Save me, O God; for the waters have come in to my soul.
Pou chèf sanba yo. Se pou yo chante l' sou menm lè ak chante ki di: Bèl flè savann blan yo. Se yon sòm David. Delivre m' non, Bondye. Dlo prèt pou neye mwen.
2 I am stuck fast in deep mire, and there is no standing: I am come in to the depths of the sea, and a storm has overwhelmed me.
M'ap desann nan fon yon ma labou. Mwen pa ka pran pye. Mwen nan yon gwo basen byen fon. Dlo prèt pou kouvri tèt mwen.
3 I am weary [of] crying, my throat has become hoarse; mine eyes have failed by my waiting on my God.
Mwen bouke rele, mwen pa kapab ankò. Gòj mwen ap fè mwen mal. Je m' yo ap boule m' sitèlman m'ap veye tann sekou Bondye mwen an.
4 They that hate me without a cause are more than the hairs of my head: my enemies that persecute me unrighteously are strengthened: then I restored that which I took not away.
Gen yon bann moun ki rayi m' san m' pa fè yo anyen. Yo pi plis pase cheve nan tèt mwen. Gen yon seri moun ki rete konsa yo fè m' lènmi, yo pi fò pase m', y'ap chache touye mwen. Yo fè m' renmèt sa m' pa pran.
5 O God, you know my foolishness; and my transgressions are not hidden from you.
Bondye, mwen pa kapab kache peche m' yo devan ou. Ou konnen jan m' te aji tankou moun fou.
6 Let not them that wait on you, O Lord of hosts, be ashamed on my account: let not them that seek you, be ashamed on my account, O God of Israel.
Seyè, Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a, pa kite m' tounen yon wont pou moun ki mete konfyans yo nan ou. Ou menm ki Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, pa kite m' fè moun k'ap sèvi ou yo wont.
7 For I have suffered reproach for your sake; shame has covered my face.
Se poutèt ou y'ap joure m' konsa. Wi, se poutèt ou lawont fè m' kache figi m'.
8 I became strange to my brethren, and a stranger to my mother's children.
Mwen tounen yon etranje pou pwòp frè m' yo, yon moun deyò pou pwòp pitit manman m' yo.
9 For the zeal of your house has eaten me up; and the reproaches of them that reproached you are fallen upon me.
Mwen sitèlman renmen kay ou a, sa fè m' santi se tankou yon dife k'ap boule tout anndan mwen. Tout joure y'ap joure ou yo, se tankou si se mwen menm menm yo t'ap joure.
10 And I bowed down my soul with fasting, and that was made my reproach.
Mwen nan gwo lapenn, mwen rete san manje. Se poutèt sa wi y'ap joure m' konsa.
11 And I put on sackcloth for my covering; and I became a proverb to them.
Si m' mete yon rad sak sou mwen pou m' mande ou padon, y'ap pase m' nan rizib.
12 They that sit in the gate talked against me, and they that drank wine sang against me.
Yo chita bò pòtay lavil la, y'ap pale sou mwen, bwèsonyè yo ap fè chante sou mwen.
13 But I [will cry] to you, O Lord, in my prayer; O God, it is a propitious time: in the multitude of your mercy hear me, in the truth of your salvation.
Men mwen menm, se ou menm m'ap toujou lapriyè. Reponn mwen, Bondye, lè w'a wè l' nesesè, paske ou gen bon kè, paske w'ap toujou pote m' sekou.
14 Save me from the mire, that I stick not [in it]: let me be delivered from them that hate me, and from the deep waters.
Wete m' nan ma labou sa a. Pa kite m' desann pi fon ladan li. Delivre m' anba lènmi m' yo. Wete m' nan gwo basen byen fon an.
15 Let not the waterflood drown me, nor let the deep swallow me up; neither let the well shut its mouth upon me.
Pa kite dlo yo kouvri tèt mwen ankò. Pa kite m' neye nan gwo lantonwa a. Pa kite bouch twou a fèmen sou mwen.
16 Hear me, O Lord; for your mercy is good: according to the multitude of your compassions look upon me.
Reponn mwen, Seyè, paske ou p'ap janm sispann renmen m'. Voye je ou gade mwen, paske ou gen kè sansib.
17 And turn not away your face from your servant; for I am afflicted: hear me speedily.
Pa vire do ou bay sèvitè ou. Prese vin reponn mwen, paske mwen nan gwo traka.
18 Draw near to my soul and redeem it: deliver me because of mine enemies.
vin jwenn mwen, vin delivre mwen. Wete m' nan men lènmi mwen yo.
19 For you know my reproach, and my shame, and my confusion; all that afflict me are before you.
Ou konnen jan y'ap joure mwen, jan y'ap fè m' wont, jan y'ap trennen m' nan labou. Ou wè tout moun k'ap pèsekite m' yo.
20 My soul has waited for reproach and misery; and I waited for one to grieve with me, but there was none; and for one to comfort me, but I found none.
Yo di m' gwomo jouk yo kraze kouraj mwen. Mwen santi se mouri m'ap mouri. Mwen te kwè ta gen moun ki ta gen pitye pou mwen, men pesonn pa vini. Mwen te kwè ta gen moun ki ta vin konsole m', pesonn pa parèt.
21 They gave [me] also gall for my food, and made me drink vinegar for my thirst.
Yo mete pwazon nan manje mwen. Lè m' mande dlo pou m' bwè, se vinèg yo ban mwen.
22 Let their table before them be for a snare, and for a recompense, and for a stumbling block.
Se pou resepsyon y'ap fè yo tounen yon pèlen pou yo. Lè yo konprann zafè yo pi bon, se lè sa a pou malè tonbe sou yo.
23 Let their eyes be darkened that they should not see; and bow down their back continually.
Se pou je yo bouche pou yo pa wè menm! Kase ren yo pou yo pa ka kanpe dwat ankò!
24 Pour out your wrath upon them, and let the fury of your anger take hold on them.
Mete ou an kòlè sou yo! Fè yo santi jan ou fache sou yo!
25 Let their habitation be made desolate; and let there be no inhabitant in their tents:
Se pou kay yo rete san moun. Se pou pa gen yon moun lakay yo ki rete vivan ankò.
26 Because they persecuted him whom you have struck; and they have added to the grief of my wounds.
Paske yo te pèsekite moun ou t'ap pini an. Y'ap pwonmennen rakonte soufrans moun ou blese a.
27 Add iniquity to their iniquity; and let them not come into your righteousness.
Kite yo mete sou sa yo fè deja. Se pou ou san pitye pou yo.
28 Let them be blotted out of the book of the living, and let them not be written with the righteous.
Efase non yo nan liv ki gen non moun ki gen lavi a. Pa mete non yo ak non moun k'ap sèvi ou yo.
29 I am poor and sorrowful; but the salvation of your countenance has helped me.
Mwen nan gwo lapenn, m'ap soufri. Bondye, pote m' sekou. Mete m' sou de pye m' ankò.
30 I will praise the name of my God with a song, I will magnify him with praise;
M'a chante pou Bondye, m'a fè lwanj li. M'a di l' mèsi, m'a fè konnen jan li gen pouvwa.
31 and [this] shall please God more than a young calf having horns and hoofs.
Sa va fè Seyè a plezi pi plis pase si m' ta ofri l' yon bèf, pase si m' ta ba li yon jenn towo bèf ki fin fè kòn.
32 Let the poor see and rejoice; seek the Lord diligently, and you shall live.
Lè malere yo va wè sa, y'a kontan. Se va yon gwo ankourajman pou moun k'ap sèvi Bondye yo.
33 For the Lord hears the poor, and does not set at nothing his fettered ones.
Seyè a koute lè pòv yo ap lapriyè nan pye l'. Li pa bliye moun pa l' yo lè yo nan prizon.
34 Let the heavens and the earth raise him, the sea, and all things moving in them.
Se pou syèl la ansanm ak latè a, lanmè a ansanm ak tout sa ki ladan li fè lwanj Bondye.
35 For God will save Sion, and the cities of Judea shall be built; and [men] shall dwell there, and inherit it.
L'a delivre peyi Siyon. L'a rebati lavil peyi Jida yo. Pèp li va bati kay yo la ankò. Y'a pran tè a pou yo.
36 And the seed of his servants shall possess it, and they that love his name shall dwell therein.
Pitit pitit sèvitè l' yo va eritye peyi a. Se la moun ki renmen l' yo va viv.
