Psalms 102
1 A Prayer of the afflicted, when he is overwhelmed, and poureth out his complaint before Jehovah. Jehovah, hear my prayer, and let my cry come unto thee.
Lapriyè yon moun ki anba tray. Li pa kapab sipòte ankò. L'ap rakonte Bondye ka li. Seyè, koute m' non lè m'ap lapriyè, se pou rèl mwen rive nan zòrèy ou.
2 Hide not thy face from me: in the day of my trouble, incline thine ear unto me; in the day I call, answer me speedily.
Pa vire do ban mwen lè mwen nan traka. Panche zòrèy ou bò kote m'. Prese vin reponn mwen lè m'ap rele ou.
3 For my days are consumed like smoke, and my bones are burned as a firebrand.
Lavi m' ap disparèt tankou lafimen. Mwen gen yon lafyèb nan zo.
4 My heart is smitten and withered like grass; yea, I have forgotten to eat my bread.
Mwen anba gwo kou. Mwen tankou zèb koupe k'ap cheche. Mwen sitèlman boulvèse, mwen pa menm chonje manje.
5 By reason of the voice of my groaning, my bones cleave to my flesh.
Mwen tounen zo ak po tèlman m'ap plenn.
6 I am become like the pelican of the wilderness, I am as an owl in desolate places;
Mwen sanble yon tako savann, mwen tankou frize ki rete nan vye kay kraze.
7 I watch, and am like a sparrow alone upon the housetop.
Mwen pa ka dòmi, mwen tankou yon zwezo ki pou kont li sou yon do kay.
8 Mine enemies reproach me all the day; they that are mad against me swear by me.
Tout lajounen lènmi m' yo ap joure m'. Moun k'ap pase m' nan rizib yo pran non m' sèvi jouman.
9 For I have eaten ashes like bread, and mingled my drink with weeping,
Se sann dife ki tout manje m'. Dlo nan je m' fè yon sèl ak dlo m'ap bwè.
10 Because of thine indignation and thy wrath; for thou hast lifted me up, and cast me down.
Ou sitèlman ankòlè, ou sitèlman fache, ou pran m', ou voye m' jete byen lwen.
11 My days are like a lengthened-out shadow, and I, I am withered like grass.
Kò m' ap tchoule tankou solèy k'ap kouche. M'ap cheche tankou zèb.
12 But thou, Jehovah, abidest for ever, and thy memorial from generation to generation.
Men ou menm, Seyè, w'ap gouvènen pou tout tan. Pitit an pitit y'ap chonje non ou!
13 Thou wilt rise up, thou wilt have mercy upon Zion: for it is the time to be gracious to her, for the set time is come.
W'a leve, w'a gen pitye pou lavil Siyon an, paske li lè pou ou gen pitye pou li. Jou a rive.
14 For thy servants take pleasure in her stones, and favour her dust.
Moun k'ap sèvi ou yo renmen lavil Siyon an. Kè yo fè yo mal pou yo wè jan l'ap fini.
15 And the nations shall fear the name of Jehovah, and all the kings of the earth thy glory.
Lè sa a, moun lòt nasyon yo va gen krentif pou Seyè a, tout wa ki sou latè va pè bèl pouvwa li.
16 When Jehovah shall build up Zion, he will appear in his glory.
Seyè a va rebati lavil Siyon, l'a fè wè jan li gen pouvwa.
17 He will regard the prayer of the destitute one, and not despise their prayer.
L'a pran ka moun ki san sekou yo lè y'a lapriyè, wi, li p'ap meprize lapriyè yo.
18 This shall be written for the generation to come; and a people that shall be created shall praise Jah:
Se pou yo ekri sa pou timoun k'ap vini yo ka konnen l', pou timoun ki poko fèt yo ka fè lwanj li.
19 For he hath looked down from the height of his sanctuary; from the heavens hath Jehovah beheld the earth,
Seyè a rete anwo nan kay ki apa pou li a, li gade anba, li rete anwo nan syèl la, l'ap gade sou latè,
20 To hear the groaning of the prisoner, to loose those that are appointed to die;
pou l' tande jan prizonye yo ap plenn, pou l' delivre moun yo kondannen amò yo.
21 That the name of Jehovah may be declared in Zion, and his praise in Jerusalem,
Konsa, moun va nonmen non Seyè a nan tout lavil Siyon an. Y'a fè lwanj li nan lavil Jerizalèm,
22 When the peoples shall be gathered together, and the kingdoms, to serve Jehovah.
lè tout nasyon yo ak tout gouvènman ki sou latè yo va sanble pou sèvi Seyè a.
23 He weakened my strength in the way, he shortened my days.
Mwen te jenn gason toujou lè Seyè a kraze kouraj mwen: li koupe sou lavi m'.
24 I said, My God, take me not away in the midst of my days! ...Thy years are from generation to generation.
Mwen di: Bondye mwen, ou menm k'ap viv pou tout tan, pa pran m' koulye a. Mwen jenn gason toujou.
25 Of old hast thou founded the earth, and the heavens are the work of thy hands:
Se ou menm, Seyè, ki te kreye latè nan tan lontan. Se avèk men ou ou te fè syèl la.
26 They shall perish, but thou continuest; and all of them shall grow old as a garment: as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed.
Yo gen pou yo disparèt, men ou menm w'ap toujou la. Yo gen pou yo vin vye tankou rad. W'ap chanje yo tankou yo chanje rad, w'a mete yo sou kote.
27 But thou art the Same, and thy years shall have no end.
Men ou menm, ou p'ap janm chanje, ou p'ap janm mouri.
28 The children of thy servants shall abide, and their seed shall be established before thee.
Pitit sèvitè ou yo va rete nan peyi a san danje. Pitit pitit yo va toujou viv devan je ou.
