Psalms 35
1 Of David himself. O Lord, judge those who harm me; assail those who attack me.
Se yon sòm David. Seyè, atake moun ki pa vle wè m' yo, goumen ak moun k'ap fè m' lagè yo.
2 Take hold of weapons and a shield, and rise up in assistance to me.
Pran zam ou sèvi pou pare kou a, leve non, vin pote m' sekou.
3 Bring forth the spear, and close in on those who persecute me. Say to my soul, “I am your salvation.”
Pran fwenn ou, pran rach ou. Atake moun k'ap pousib mwen yo. Fè m' konnen se ou menm k'ap delivre m'.
4 Let them be confounded and in awe, who pursue my soul. Let them be turned back and be confounded, who think up evil against me.
Se pou moun k'ap chache touye m' yo sezi, se pou yo wont. Se pou moun k'ap fè konplo sou mwen yo rale kò yo dèyè. Se pou yo pa ka leve tèt yo.
5 May they become like dust before the face of the wind, and let the Angel of the Lord hem them in.
Se pou yo tankou pay van ap pote ale, lè zanj Bondye a ap kouri dèyè yo.
6 May their way become dark and slippery, and may the Angel of the Lord pursue them.
Se pou fènwa bare wout yo, pou chemen an glise anba pye yo, lè zanj Bondye a ap talonnen yo.
7 For, without cause, they have concealed their snare for me unto destruction. Over nothing, they have rebuked my soul.
San m' pa fè yo anyen, y'ap tann pèlen pou mwen. San m' pa fè yo anyen, y'ap fouye yon twou byen fon pou m' ka tonbe ladan l'.
8 Let the snare, of which he is ignorant, come upon him, and let the deception, which he has hidden, take hold of him: and may he fall into that very snare.
Men, y'ap rete konsa, malè ap tonbe sou yo, y'ap pran nan pèlen yo te tann lan, y'ap tonbe nan twou yo te fouye a.
9 But my soul will exult in the Lord and delight over his salvation.
Se konsa Seyè a pral fè kè m' kontan, m'ap kontan anpil, paske li delivre mwen.
10 All my bones will say, “Lord, who is like you?” He rescues the needy from the hand of the stronger one, the indigent and the poor from those who plunder him.
M'a di ak tout kè mwen: -Seyè, pa gen tankou ou! Ou delivre fèb yo anba moun ki gen fòs pase yo. Ou delivre pòv yo ak malere yo anba moun k'ap piye yo.
11 Unfair witnesses have risen up, interrogating me about things of which I am ignorant.
Gen moun k'ap kanpe bay manti sou mwen. Yo di mwen fè yon pakèt bagay mwen pa janm konnen mwen fè.
12 They repaid me evil for good, to the deprivation of my soul.
Moun mwen fè byen se yo k'ap fè m' mal. Mwen fin dekouraje.
13 But as for me, when they were harassing me, I was clothed with haircloth. I humbled my soul with fasting, and my prayer will become my sinews.
Lè yo te malad, mwen te pran gwo lapenn pou yo, mwen rete san manje. Mwen bese tèt mwen pou mwen lapriyè pou yo,
14 Like a neighbor, and like our brother, so did I please; like one mourning and contrite, so was I humbled.
menm jan mwen ta lapriyè pou yon zanmi osinon pou yon frè. M'ap mache do ba ak gwo lapenn nan kè m', tankou yon moun ki pèdi manman l'.
15 And they have been joyful against me, and they joined together. Scourges have been gathered over me, and I was ignorant of it.
Men, lè mwen menm mwen nan tray, yo tout yo kontan, yo mete tèt yo ansanm. Y'ap fè pil dèyè do m' pou bay manti sou mwen. Y'ap kale do m' san pran souf.
16 They have been scattered, yet they were unremorseful. They have tested me. They scoffed at me with scorn. They gnashed their teeth over me.
Yo atake m', yo pase m' nan betiz. Y'ap gade m', y'ap griyen dan sou mwen.
17 Lord, when will you look down upon me? Restore my soul from before their malice, my only one from before the lions.
Seyè, pou konbe tan ankò w'a penmèt sa? Pwoteje m' non anba bèt sovaj sa yo. Sove m' anba lyon sa yo.
18 I will confess to you in a great Church. I will praise you among a weighty people.
M'a di ou mèsi nan mitan tout moun lè yo reyini, m'a fè lwanj ou devan yon gwo foul moun.
19 May those who are my unjust adversaries not be glad over me: those who have hated me without cause, and who nod agreement with their eyes.
Pa kite lènmi m' yo, bann mantò sa yo, fè fèt sou tèt mwen. Pa kite moun sa yo ki rayi m' san m' pa fè yo anyen an fè siy sou mwen.
20 For indeed, they spoke peacefully to me; and speaking with passion to the earth, they intended deceit.
Yo pale tankou moun k'ap chache kont. Y'ap kalkile tout kalite manti pou yo fè sou moun ki pa nan kont ak pesonn nan peyi a.
21 And they opened their mouth wide over me. They said, “Well, well, our eyes have seen.”
Yo louvri bouch yo byen laj pou bay manti sou mwen. Y'ap di: -Wi! Nou te wè ou!
22 You have seen, O Lord, do not be silent. Lord, do not depart from me.
Men ou menm, Seyè, ou wè tout bagay. Pa rete san ou pa di anyen nan sa, Seyè! Pa rete lwen m' konsa.
23 Rise up and be attentive to my judgment, to my cause, my God and my Lord.
Leve non, Seyè, vin pran defans mwen! Leve non, Bondye mwen, vin plede kòz mwen!
24 Judge me according to your justice, O Lord, my God, and do not let them be glad over me.
Ou pa nan patipri, Seyè. Fè m' jistis. Pa kite lènmi m' yo fè fèt sou tèt mwen.
25 Do not let them say in their hearts, “Well, well, to our soul.” Neither let them say, “We have devoured him.”
Pa kite yo di nan kè yo: -Wi! se sa menm nou te vle rive li! Pa kite yo di: -Nou fini avè l'!
26 Let them blush and be in awe together, those who congratulate at my misfortunes. Let them be clothed with confusion and awe, who speak great things against me.
Tout moun ki kontan wè jan m'ap soufri a, se pou yo wont jouk yo pa konn sa pou yo fè. Se pou moun k'ap gonfle lestonmak yo sou mwen pèdi fil, se pou yo kouri al kache!
27 Let them exult and rejoice, who wish my justice, and let them ever say, “The Lord be magnified,” who will the peace of his servant.
Se pou moun ki kontan wè jan m' inonsan an pran rele byen fò san rete. Se pou yo di: -Seyè a gen gwo pouvwa! Li vle pou sèvitè li viv ak kè poze.
28 And so my tongue will express your justice: your praise all day long.
Lè sa a, m'a fè konnen jistis ou, m'a fè lwanj ou tout lajounen.
