Sòm 31

1 Pou chèf sanba yo. Se yon sòm David. Seyè, m'ap chache pwoteksyon anba zèl ou! Pa janm kite m' pran wont ankò. Ou se yon Bondye ki pa nan patipri. Tanpri, delivre mwen.

In you, O LORD, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in your righteousness.

2 Panche zòrèy ou bò kote m', prese vin delivre mwen. Se ou menm ki twou wòch kote m' ka jwenn pwoteksyon. Se ou menm ki pou sèvi m' ranpa. Se ou menm ki pou delivre m'.

Bow down your ear to me; deliver me speedily: be you my strong rock, for an house of defense to save me.

3 Se ou ki tout pwoteksyon mwen, tout defans mwen. Tanpri, dirije m', kondi m' poutèt non ou pote a.

For you are my rock and my fortress; therefore for your name’s sake lead me, and guide me.

4 Pa kite m' tonbe nan pèlen yo tann pou mwen an. Se ou menm k'ap pwoteje m'.

Pull me out of the net that they have laid privately for me: for you are my strength.

5 Mwen renmèt lespri mwen nan men ou. W'a delivre m', Seyè, paske ou se yon Bondye ki kenbe pawòl li.

Into your hand I commit my spirit: you have redeemed me, O LORD God of truth.

6 Ou rayi moun k'ap adore zidòl. Pou mwen menm, tout konfyans mwen se nan ou li ye.

I have hated them that regard lying vanities: but I trust in the LORD.

7 M'ap kontan, m'ap fè fèt, paske ou renmen m'. Ou wè jan m'ap soufri, ou konnen nan ki pwoblèm mwen ye.

I will be glad and rejoice in your mercy: for you have considered my trouble; you have known my soul in adversities;

8 Ou pa kite lènmi m' yo mete men sou mwen, ou mete m' yon kote pou anyen pa rive m'.

And have not shut me up into the hand of the enemy: you have set my feet in a large room.

9 Gen pitye pou mwen, Seyè, paske mwen anba tray. Figi m' fin rale, mwen kagou. Kò m' ap fin deperi afòs mwen gen lapenn.

Have mercy on me, O LORD, for I am in trouble: my eye is consumed with grief, yes, my soul and my belly.

10 Mwen pase tout lavi m' ap soufri, se tout tan m'ap plenn. Mwen santi m'ap febli paske mwen fè twòp move bagay. Tout zo nan kò m' ap fè m' mal.

For my life is spent with grief, and my years with sighing: my strength fails because of my iniquity, and my bones are consumed.

11 Tout lènmi m' yo ap pase m' nan rizib. Vwazen m' yo ap pase m' nan betiz. Tout moun ki konnen m' yo pè m'. Lè yo wè m' nan lari, yo kouri pou mwen.

I was a reproach among all my enemies, but especially among my neighbors, and a fear to my acquaintance: they that did see me without fled from me.

12 Tout moun gen tan bliye m', tankou si m' te mouri deja. Mwen tankou yon vye bagay yo voye jete.

I am forgotten as a dead man out of mind: I am like a broken vessel.

13 Mwen tande jan anpil moun ap pale m' mal. Kote m' pase mwen pè. Yo mete tèt yo ansanm sou do m', y'ap fè konplo pou yo touye m'.

For I have heard the slander of many: fear was on every side: while they took counsel together against me, they devised to take away my life.

14 Men, Seyè, se nan ou mwen mete tou konfyans mwen. Se ou ki Bondye mwen.

But I trusted in you, O LORD: I said, You are my God.

15 Lavi m' nan men ou. Delivre m' anba lènmi m' yo, anba moun k'ap pèsekite m' yo.

My times are in your hand: deliver me from the hand of my enemies, and from them that persecute me.

16 Se sèvi m'ap sèvi ou, tanpri, fè m' santi ou la avèk mwen. Delivre m', paske ou renmen m'.

Make your face to shine on your servant: save me for your mercies’ sake.

17 M'ap rele ou, Seyè. Pa kite m' pran wont. Se mechan yo ki pou wont. Se pou yo mouri san di krik. (Sheol h7585)

Let me not be ashamed, O LORD; for I have called on you: let the wicked be ashamed, and let them be silent in the grave. (Sheol h7585)

18 Se pou yo rete san pale, moun sa yo k'ap bay manti, tout moun sa yo k'ap fè grandizè yo, k'ap fè awogans, k'ap pale mal sou moun k'ap mache dwat devan Bondye yo.

Let the lying lips be put to silence; which speak grievous things proudly and contemptuously against the righteous.

19 Ala bon yo bon, bagay ou kenbe an rezèv pou moun ki gen krentif pou ou! Ala bèl yo bèl, bagay ou fè devan tout moun, lè w'ap pwoteje moun k'ap chache pwoteksyon anba zèl ou!

Oh how great is your goodness, which you have laid up for them that fear you; which you have worked for them that trust in you before the sons of men!

20 Ou kenbe yo la devan je ou, pou ou ka pwoteje yo anba moun k'ap pèsekite yo. Ou kache yo lakay ou pou yo pa fini ak yo anba kout lang.

You shall hide them in the secret of your presence from the pride of man: you shall keep them secretly in a pavilion from the strife of tongues.

21 Lwanj pou Seyè a! Ala bèl bagay li fè pou l' moutre jan l' renmen mwen, lè m' te anba tray, lè yo te sènen m' toupatou a!

Blessed be the LORD: for he has showed me his marvelous kindness in a strong city.

22 Mwen te pè, mwen t'ap di nan kè m': -Gen lè ou voye m' jete byen lwen ou. Men, ou te tande rèl mwen, lè m' t'ap mande ou sekou.

For I said in my haste, I am cut off from before your eyes: nevertheless you heard the voice of my supplications when I cried to you.

23 Nou tout k'ap sèvi Seyè a, se pou nou renmen l'. Wi, Seyè a pwoteje tout moun ki kenbe fèm nan li. Men, se pa ti pini l'ap pini moun k'ap vante tèt yo.

O love the LORD, all you his saints: for the LORD preserves the faithful, and plentifully rewards the proud doer.

24 Nou tout ki met espwa nou nan Seyè a, pran kouraj, kenbe fèm.

Be of good courage, and he shall strengthen your heart, all you that hope in the LORD.
