Psalms 25
1 Yahweh, my God, I give myself to you.
Se yon sòm David. Seyè, m'ap fè lapriyè m' moute devan ou. Bondye mwen, se nan ou mwen mete tout konfyans mwen.
2 I trust in you. Do not allow my enemies [to defeat me], with the result that I would be ashamed/disgraced. Do not allow my enemies to defeat/conquer me, with the result that they would rejoice.
Piga ou fè m' wont, pa kite lènmi yo pase m' nan betiz.
3 Do not allow any of those who trust in you to be disappointed/disgraced. Cause those who (act treacherously toward/try to deceive) others to be disappointed/disgraced.
Wi, moun ki mete konfyans yo nan ou p'ap janm wont. Men, moun ka soti wont yo, se moun k'ap trayi ou pou gremesi.
4 Yahweh, show me the way that I should (conduct my life/live as you want me to), teach me how to act in the manner that you want me to act/behave.
Seyè, fè m' konnen jan ou vle m' viv la! Moutre m' nan ki chemen ou vle pou m' mache a!
5 Teach me to conduct my life [by obeying] your truth because you are my God, the one who saves me. All the time I trust in you.
Moutre m' sa pou m' fè pou m' viv yon jan ki konfòm ak verite ou la, paske se ou menm ki delivrans mwen. Se sou ou mwen konte tout jounen.
6 Yahweh, do not forget how you have acted mercifully to me and have faithfully loved me; that is the way that you have acted toward me from long ago.
Seyè, chonje jan ou gen kè sansib, chonje jan ou renmen nou depi nan tan lontan.
7 Forgive me for all the sinful things I did and the ways that I rebelled against you when I was young; I ask this because you faithfully love your people and do good things for them, Yahweh, do not forget me!
Pa chonje peche ak fòt mwen te fè lè m' te jenn. Seyè, jan ou renmen m' sa a, jan ou gen bon kè, tanpri, pa bliye m'!
8 Yahweh is good and fair/just; therefore he shows sinners (how they should conduct their lives/how to live as you want them to).
Seyè a bon, li pa nan patipri, li moutre moun k'ap fè sa ki mal yo jan pou yo viv.
9 He shows humble people what is right for them to do and teaches them what he wants [them to do].
Li pran men moun ki soumèt devan l' yo, li fè yo mache nan bon chemen an, li moutre yo jan li vle pou yo viv la.
10 He always faithfully loves and does what he has promised to those who keep his agreement with them and who do what he requires.
Moun ki kenbe kontra li fe ak yo a, moun ki obeyi kòmandman l' yo, li fè yo wè jan li renmen yo, jan li p'ap janm lage yo.
11 Yahweh, forgive me for all my sins, which are many, in order that I may honor you [MTY].
Seyè, poutèt non ou pote a, padonnen peche m' yo, paske yo anpil.
12 To all those who revere you [RHQ], you show them the (right way to conduct their lives/things that they should do).
Si yon moun gen krentif pou Seyè a, Seyè a va moutre l' chemen pou l' pran.
13 They will always be prosperous, and their descendants will continue to live in [this] land.
L'ap toujou gen kè kontan. Pitit li yo va pran peyi a pou yo.
14 Yahweh is a friend of those who have an awesome respect for him, and he teaches them the agreement that he [made with them].
Seyè a, se zanmi moun ki gen krentif pou li. Li fè yo konnen kontra li pase ak yo a.
15 I always ask [MTY] Yahweh to help me, and he rescues me from danger [MET].
Se sou Seyè a m'ap gade tout tan, l'ap delivre m' lè m' nan move pa.
16 Yahweh, pay attention to me and be merciful to me, because I am alone, and I am very distressed because I am suffering/oppressed.
Seyè, vire je ou bò kote m'. Gen pitye pou mwen, paske mwen pou kont mwen, mwen san fòs.
17 Help me to not worry, and rescue me from my troubles.
Pa kite m' ak kè sere sa a. Wete m' nan tray m'ap pase a.
18 Note that I am distressed and troubled [DOU], and forgive [me for] all my sins.
Gade nan ki mizè mwen ye! Gade jan m'ap soufri! Padonnen tout peche m' yo.
19 Also note that I have many enemies, see that they hate me very much.
Gade tout kantite lènmi mwen genyen! Gade jan yo rayi m', jan y'ap pousib mwen.
20 Protect me, and rescue me from them; do not allow [them to defeat me], [with the result that] I would be ashamed/disgraced; I have come to you to (get refuge/be safe).
Pwoteje m' non! Delivre m' non! Piga ou fè m' wont, paske se bò kote ou m'ap chache pwoteksyon, se anba zèl ou mwen vin kache.
21 Protect me because I do what is good and honest/just [PRS], and because I trust in you.
Fè m' viv yon jan ki san repwòch. Fè m' mache dwat pou ou ka pwoteje m', paske tout espwa mwen se nan ou li ye.
22 God, rescue [us] Israeli people from all of our troubles!
O Bondye, delivre pèp Izrayèl la anba tray l'ap pase yo.
