Psalms 52

1 Why boast you yourself in mischief, O mighty man? the goodness of God endures continually.

Pou chèf sanba yo. Se yon chante David te ekri lè Doèg, moun peyi Edon, te al pote rapò bay Sayil pou fè l' konnen David te al kache lakay Akimelèk. Poukisa, ou menm gwo chèf, w'ap vante tèt ou konsa lè ou fè sa ki mal! renmen Bondye a pa janm chanje.

2 The tongue devises evil; like a sharp razor, working deceitfully.

W'ap kalkile ki jan pou fè moun mal. Lang ou tankou yon razwa byen file, ou toujou ap fè manti sou moun.

3 You love evil more than good; and lying rather than to speak righteousness. (Selah)

Ou pito fè mal pase pou ou fè byen. Ou pito bay manti pase ou di verite.

4 You love all devouring words, O you deceitful tongue.

Ou renmen di pawòl ki pou fè moun mal, lang vipè!

5 God shall likewise destroy you for ever, he shall take you away, and pluck you out of your dwelling place, and root you out of the land of the living. (Selah)

Se poutèt sa, Bondye gen pou fini nèt avè ou, l'ap mete men sou ou, l'ap rale ou soti anndan kay ou. L'ap wete ou nan mitan moun ki vivan yo.

6 The righteous also shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him:

Moun k'ap mache dwat yo va wè sa, y'a gen krentif pou Bondye. Men y'a pase ou nan betiz, y'a di:

7 Lo, this is the man that made not God his strength; but trusted in the abundance of his riches, and strengthened himself in his wickedness.

Men moun ki te derefize chache pwoteksyon bò kot Bondye a. Li te pito mete tout konfyans li nan gwo richès li yo. Li te pito ap fè grandizè pou sa li fè ki mal.

8 But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God: I trust in the mercy of God for ever and ever.

Men, mwen tankou yon bèl pye oliv tou vèt nan kay Bondye a. M'ap toujou mete tout konfyans mwen nan li, paske li p'ap janm sispann renmen mwen.

9 I will praise you for ever, because you have done it: and I will wait on your name; for it is good before your saints.

M'ap toujou di ou mèsi pou sa ou fè, Bondye. Tout espwa mwen se nan ou li ye. M'ap kanpe nan mitan moun k'ap sevi ou yo pou m' fè konnen jan ou bon.
