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 [or] Psalm for the sons of Korah, to the chief Musician upon Mahalath Leannoth, Maschil of Heman the Ezrahite. O LORD God of my salvation, I have cried day [and] night before thee:
2 Se pou lapriyè m' rive nan zòrèy ou. Koute byen sa m'ap mande ou.
Let my prayer come before thee: incline thy ear to my cry;
For my soul is full of troubles: and my life draweth nigh to the grave. (Sheol h7585)
4 Mwen tankou moun ki sou dènye souf li, tankou moun ki pa gen fòs ankò.
I am counted with them that go down into the pit: I am as a man [that hath] 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.
Free among the dead, like the slain that lie in the grave, whom thou rememberest no more: and they are cut off from thy hand.
6 Ou voye m' jete nan yon gwo twou byen fon, kote ki fè nwa anpil, nan yon twou san fon.
Thou hast laid me in the lowest pit, in darkness, in the deeps.
7 Mwen santi ou ankòlè anpil sou mwen. Se kraze w'ap kraze m' anba men ou.
Thy wrath lieth hard upon me, and thou hast afflicted [me] with all thy waves. (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.
Thou hast put away my acquaintance far from me; thou hast made me an abomination to them: [I am] shut up, and I cannot come forth.
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 eye mourneth by reason of affliction: LORD, I have called daily upon thee, I have stretched out my hands to thee.
10 Eske se pou moun mouri ou fè mirak? Eske mò ka leve pou fè lwanj ou?
Wilt thou show wonders to the dead? shall the dead arise [and] praise thee? (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?
Shall thy loving-kindness be declared in the grave? [or] thy faithfulness in destruction?
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!
Shall thy wonders be known in the dark? and thy righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
13 Seyè, m'ap rele ou vin ede mwen. Se chak maten m'ap lapriyè nan pye ou.
But to thee have I cried, O LORD; and in the morning shall my prayer come before thee.
14 Seyè, poukisa ou voye m' jete lwen ou konsa? Poukisa ou kache figi ou pou mwen?
LORD, why castest thou off my soul? [why] hidest thou thy 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 [am] afflicted and ready to die from [my] youth up: [while] I suffer thy terrors I am distracted.
16 Nan kòlè ou, ou fè m' pase kont tray mwen. Se fini ou fini avè m' tèlman ou pini m'.
Thy fierce wrath goeth over me; thy terrors have cut me off.
17 Tout lajounen ou sènen m' tankou dlo inondasyon, ou fèmen m' toupatou.
They came around me daily like water; they encompassed me together.
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.
Lover and friend hast thou put far from me, [and] my acquaintance into darkness.
