Psalms 41
1 Unto the end. A Psalm of David himself. Blessed is he who shows understanding toward the needy and the poor. The Lord will deliver him in the evil day.
Pou chèf sanba yo. Se yon sòm David. Ala bon sa bon pou moun ki pran ka pòv yo! Seyè a va delivre l' lè la nan tray.
2 May the Lord preserve him and give him life, and make him blessed upon the earth. And may he not hand him over to the will of his adversaries.
Seyè a va pwoteje l', li p'ap kite l' mouri. L'ap fè l' viv ak kè kontan sou latè, li p'ap lage l' nan men lènmi l' yo pou yo fè sa yo vle avè l'.
3 May the Lord bring him help on his bed of sorrow. In his infirmity, you have changed his entire covering.
Seyè a va ba l' fòs lè maladi fè l' pran kabann. Seyè a va ba l' gerizon lè li malad kouche.
4 I said, “O Lord, be merciful to me. Heal my soul, because I have sinned against you.”
Mwen menm, mwen te di: Seyè, gen pitye pou mwen. Geri mwen, paske mwen te peche kont ou.
5 My enemies have spoken evils against me. When will he die and his name perish?
Lènmi m' yo ap pale m' mal. Y'ap di: Kilè l'a mouri? Kilè y'a bliye l'?
6 And when he came in to see me, he was speaking emptiness. His heart gathered iniquity to itself. He went outside, and he was speaking in the same way.
Moun ki vin wè m' yo, se yon bann ipokrit. Se ranmase yo vin ranmase tout kalite move nouvèl. Soti yo soti, yo pwonmennen rakonte yo toupatou.
7 All my enemies were whispering against me. They were thinking up evils against me.
Tout moun ki pa vle wè m' yo mete tèt yo ansanm pou pale nan zòrèy sou mwen. Yo kwè m' fini, nanpwen renmèd pou mwen. Y'ap fè yon pakèt vye lide sou mwen.
8 They established an unjust word against me. Will he that sleeps no longer rise again?
Y'ap di: Msye kondannen. Kote l' kouche a, nanpwen leve pou li ankò.
9 For even the man of my peace, in whom I hoped, who ate my bread, has greatly supplanted me.
Ata pi bon zanmi m' lan, moun mwen te fè konfyans anpil la, moun ki te konn manje nan menm plat avè m' lan, ata li menm, li trayi m'.
10 But you, O Lord, have mercy on me, and raise me up again. And I will requite them.
Men ou menm, Seyè, gen pitye pou mwen. Mete m' sou de pye m' ankò, pou m' ka ba yo sa yo merite.
11 By this, I knew that you preferred me: because my adversary will not rejoice over me.
M'a konnen ou kontan avè m' vre si m' wè lènmi m' yo pa banboche sou do m'.
12 But you have sustained me, because of my innocence, and you have confirmed me in your sight in eternity.
Wi, w'ap soutni m', paske mwen pa fè anyen ki mal. W'ap fè m' kanpe la devan ou pou tout tan.
13 Blessed is the Lord God of Israel, for all generations and even forever. Amen. Amen.
Ann fè lwanj Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la. Ann fè lwanj li pou tout tan. Amèn! Se vre!
