Psalms 41
1 For the end, a Psalm of David. Blessed [is the man] who thinks, on the poor and needy: the Lord shall deliver him in an 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 keep him alive, and bless him on the earth, and not deliver him into the hands of his enemy.
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 help him upon the bed of his pain; you have made all his bed in his sickness.
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, have mercy upon me; heal my soul; for I have sinned against you.
Mwen menm, mwen te di: Seyè, gen pitye pou mwen. Geri mwen, paske mwen te peche kont ou.
5 Mine enemies have spoken evil against me, [saying], When shall 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 if he came to see [me], his heart spoke vainly; he gathered iniquity to himself; he went forth and spoke in like manner.
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 whispered against me; against me they devised my hurt.
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 denounced a wicked word against me, [saying], Now that he lies, shall he not rise up 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 trusted, who ate my bread, lifted up [his] heel against 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 compassion upon me, and raise me up, and I shall 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 know that you have delighted in me, because mine enemy shall 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 did help me because of [mine] innocence, and have established me before you for ever.
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 [be] the Lord God of Israel from everlasting, and to everlasting. So be it, so be it.
Ann fè lwanj Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la. Ann fè lwanj li pou tout tan. Amèn! Se vre!
