Psalms 52
1 For the end, [a Psalm] of instruction by David, when Doec the Idumean came and told Saul, and said to him, David is gone to the house of Abimelech. Why do you, O mighty man, boast of iniquity in [your] mischief? All the day
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 your tongue has devised unrighteousness; like a sharpened razor you have wrought deceit.
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 have loved wickedness more than goodness; unrighteousness better than to speak righteousness. (Pause)
Ou pito fè mal pase pou ou fè byen. Ou pito bay manti pase ou di verite.
4 You has loved all words of destruction, [and] a deceitful tongue.
Ou renmen di pawòl ki pou fè moun mal, lang vipè!
5 Therefore may God destroy you for ever, may he pluck you up and utterly remove you from [your] dwelling, and your root from the land of the living. (Pause)
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 And the righteous shall see, and fear, and shall laugh at him, and say,
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 Behold the man who made not God his help; but trusted in the abundance of his wealth, and strengthened himself in his vanity.
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 as a fruitful olive in the house of God: I have trusted in the mercy of God for ever, even for evermore.
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 give thanks to you for ever, for you have done [it]: and I will wait on your name; for [it is] good before the 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.
