Sòm 88
1 Chante sa a se yon sòm pitit Kore yo. Pou chèf sanba yo. Fè yo chante ansanm tankou timoun lekòl. Se chante Eman, moun lavil Ezra. Seyè, Bondye, se ou menm ki delivrans mwen! Lajounen kou lannwit m'ap rele nan pye ou!
A song, a psalm of the sons of Korah; for the chief musician; set to the Mahalath Leannoth style. A maschil of Heman the Ezrahite. Yahweh, God of my salvation, I cry out day and night before you.
2 Se pou lapriyè m' rive nan zòrèy ou. Koute byen sa m'ap mande ou.
Listen to my prayer; pay attention to my cry.
For I am filled with troubles, and my life has reached Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
4 Mwen tankou moun ki sou dènye souf li, tankou moun ki pa gen fòs ankò.
People treat me like those who go down into the pit; I am a man with no strength.
5 Mwen tonbe atè tankou yon moun mouri, tankou yon moun yo touye ki kouche nan simityè. Wi, tankou yon moun ou bliye nèt, tankou yon moun ou pa ka fè anyen ankò pou li.
I am abandoned among the dead; I am like the dead who lie in the grave, about whom you care no more because they are cut off from your power.
6 Ou voye m' jete nan yon gwo twou byen fon, kote ki fè nwa anpil, nan yon twou san fon.
You place me in the lowest part of the pit, in the dark and deep places.
7 Mwen santi ou ankòlè anpil sou mwen. Se kraze w'ap kraze m' anba men ou.
Your wrath lies heavy on me, and all your waves crash over me. (Selah)
8 Ou fè tout zanmi m' yo lage m'. Yo yonn pa ka santi m' bò kote yo! Mwen fèmen yon kote mwen pa ka soti.
Because of you, my acquaintances avoid me. You have made me a shocking sight to them. I am hemmed in and I cannot escape.
9 Je m' ap boule m' tèlman m'ap soufri. Seyè, se chak jou m'ap rele ou, m'ap louvri de bra m' ba ou!
My eyes grow weary from trouble; All day long I call out to you, Yahweh; I spread out my hands to you.
10 Eske se pou moun mouri ou fè mirak? Eske mò ka leve pou fè lwanj ou?
Will you do wonders for the dead? Will those who have died rise and praise you? (Selah)
11 Eske moun ki anba tè ka fè konnen jan ou renmen nou? Eske moun ki nan twou san fon an ka fè konnen jan ou toujou kenbe pawòl ou?
Will your covenant faithfulness be proclaimed in the grave, your loyalty in the place of the dead?
12 Eske moun ki nan fènwa a ka wè mèvèy ou yo? Eske moun ki nan peyi kote yo bliye tout bagay la ka wè jan ou bon!
Will your wonderful deeds be known in the darkness, or your righteousness in the place of forgetfulness?
13 Seyè, m'ap rele ou vin ede mwen. Se chak maten m'ap lapriyè nan pye ou.
But I cry to you, Yahweh; in the morning my prayer comes before you.
14 Seyè, poukisa ou voye m' jete lwen ou konsa? Poukisa ou kache figi ou pou mwen?
Yahweh, why do you reject me? Why do you hide your face from me?
15 Depi mwen jenn gason se soufri m'ap soufri, m'ap pase ra lanmò. Ou sitèlman pini mwen, mwen pa konn sa pou m' fè ankò.
I have always been afflicted and on the verge of death since my youth. I have suffered from your terrors; I am in despair.
16 Nan kòlè ou, ou fè m' pase kont tray mwen. Se fini ou fini avè m' tèlman ou pini m'.
Your angry actions have passed over me, and your terrifying deeds have annihilated me.
17 Tout lajounen ou sènen m' tankou dlo inondasyon, ou fèmen m' toupatou.
They surround me like water all the day long; they have all encircled me.
18 Ou te fè tout kanmarad mwen yo ak zanmi m' yo vire do ban mwen. Moun mwen te konn rakonte ti koze m' yo disparèt.
You have removed every friend and acquaintance from me. My only acquaintance is the darkness.
