Psalms 31
1 For the Chief Musician. A Psalm by David. In you, Yahweh, I take refuge. Let me never be disappointed. Deliver me in your righteousness.
Yon Sòm David Nan Ou menm, SENYÈ, mwen kache. Pa janm kite mwen vin wont. Nan ladwati Ou, delivre mwen.
2 Bow down your ear to me. Deliver me speedily. Be to me a strong rock, a house of defense to save me.
Panche zòrèy W bò kote mwen. Delivre mwen byen vit. Devni pou mwen wòch ki ban m fòs, yon sitadèl ki pou sove m.
3 For you are my rock and my fortress, therefore for your name’s sake lead me and guide me.
Paske Ou se wòch mwen ak sitadèl mwen, konsa, pou koz a non Ou, Ou va gide mwen.
4 Pluck me out of the net that they have laid secretly for me, for you are my stronghold.
Ou va rale m sòti nan filè ke yo te prepare an sekrè pou mwen an, paske se Ou ki fòs mwen.
5 Into your hand I commend my spirit. You redeem me, Yahweh, God of truth.
Nan men Ou, mwen mete lespri mwen. Ou te rachte m, O SENYÈ, Bondye verite a.
6 I hate those who regard lying vanities, but I trust in Yahweh.
Mwen rayi (sila) ki fè rega a fo zidòl yo, men nan Bondye, mwen mete konfyans mwen.
7 I will be glad and rejoice in your loving kindness, for you have seen my affliction. You have known my soul in adversities.
Mwen va rejwi e fè kè kontan nan lanmou dous Ou, akoz Ou te wè soufrans mwen. Ou te wè soufrans a nanm mwen.
8 You have not shut me up into the hand of the enemy. You have set my feet in a large place.
Ou pa t lage mwen nan men a lènmi an. Ou te mete pye mwen nan yon kote byen laj.
9 Have mercy on me, Yahweh, for I am in distress. My eye, my soul, and my body waste away with grief.
Fè m gras, O SENYÈ, paske mwen nan gwo twoub. Zye m ak kò m ak nanm mwen; tout fin gate nèt akoz doulè m.
10 For my life is spent with sorrow, my years with sighing. My strength fails because of my iniquity. My bones are wasted away.
Paske lavi m fin pase nèt ak gwo doulè m, ane mwen yo avèk soupi. Fòs mwen fin ale akoz inikite m. Kò mwen fin epwize.
11 Because of all my adversaries I have become utterly contemptible to my neighbors, a horror to my acquaintances. Those who saw me on the street fled from me.
Akoz tout advèsè mwen yo, mwen te devni yon objè abominab, sitou a vwazen mwen yo, e yon objè laperèz a (sila) ki rekonèt mwen yo. (Sila) ki wè m nan lari yo sove ale devan m.
12 I am forgotten from their hearts like a dead man. I am like broken pottery.
Mwen fin bliye tankou yon moun mouri, disparèt nan panse moun. Mwen tankou yon veso ki fin kraze.
13 For I have heard the slander of many, terror on every side, while they conspire together against me, they plot to take away my life.
Paske mwen konn tande kout lang anpil moun, laperèz toupatou. Yo pran konsèy ansanm kont mwen. Yo te fè konplo pou rache lavi m.
14 But I trust in you, Yahweh. I said, “You are my God.”
Men pou mwen, mwen mete konfyans nan Ou, O SENYÈ. Mwen di: “Se Ou menm ki Bondye mwen”.
15 My times are in your hand. Deliver me from the hand of my enemies, and from those who persecute me.
Moman mwen yo nan men Ou. Delivre mwen nan men a lènmi mwen yo, avèk (sila) ki pèsekite mwen yo.
16 Make your face to shine on your servant. Save me in your loving kindness.
Fè limyè figi Ou vin parèt sou sèvitè Ou a. Sove mwen nan lanmou dous Ou a.
17 Let me not be disappointed, Yahweh, for I have called on you. Let the wicked be disappointed. Let them be silent in Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
Pa kite mwen fè wont, O SENYÈ, paske se Ou ke m rele. (Sheol h7585)
18 Let the lying lips be mute, which speak against the righteous insolently, with pride and contempt.
Kite lèv ki manti yo sispann, (sila) yo ka p pale ak awogans kont moun dwat yo, k ap fè ògèy pou desann moun.
19 Oh how great is your goodness, which you have laid up for those who fear you, which you have worked for those who take refuge in you, before the sons of men!
Men a la gran, bonte ke Ou te konsève pou (sila) ki krent Ou yo, ke Ou te fòje pou (sila) ki kache nan Ou yo, devan fis a lòm yo!
20 In the shelter of your presence you will hide them from the plotting of man. You will keep them secretly in a dwelling away from the strife of tongues.
Ou kache yo nan kote sekrè a prezans Ou, kont tout manèv a lòm. Ou konsève yo an sekrè nan yon pwotèj kont konplo a tout lang lèzòm.
21 Praise be to Yahweh, for he has shown me his marvelous loving kindness in a strong city.
Beni se SENYÈ a, paske li te fè mèvèy a lanmou dous Li a anvè mwen nan yon vil byen fò.
22 As for me, I said in my haste, “I am cut off from before your eyes.” Nevertheless you heard the voice of my petitions when I cried to you.
Pou mwen, mwen te di ak kè sote mwen: “Mwen koupe retire nèt devan zye Ou”. Sepandan, Ou te tande vwa a siplikasyon mwen yo lè m te kriye a Ou menm.
23 Oh love Yahweh, all you his saints! Yahweh preserves the faithful, and fully recompenses him who behaves arrogantly.
O renmen SENYÈ a, nou tout, moun fidèl yo! SENYÈ a toujou prezève moun fidèl yo, e bay pwòp rekonpans a (sila) ki plen ògèy yo.
24 Be strong, and let your heart take courage, all you who hope in Yahweh.
Kenbe fèm e kite kè ou pran kouraj, nou tout ki mete espwa nan SENYÈ a.
