Psalms 10

Why standest thou afar off, O LORD? why hidest thou thyself in times of trouble?

Poukisa ou rete lwen konsa, Seyè? Poukisa ou kache kò ou konsa lè nou nan ka?

The wicked in his pride doth persecute the poor: let them be taken in the devices that they have imagined.

Mechan an ap gonfle lestonmak li, l'ap pèsekite malere yo. Se pou pye l' pran nan pèlen limenm li tann lan.

For the wicked boasteth of his heart's desire, and blesseth the covetous, whom the LORD abhorreth.

Mechan an ap vante tèt li pou move lanvi li gen nan kè l'. Lanbisyon fè l' pale mal, li vire do bay Bondye.

The wicked, through the pride of his countenance, will not seek after God: God is not in all his thoughts.

Mechan an tèlman gen lògèy, l'ap plede di: -Bondye p'ap pini m'. Pa gen Bondye. Se sa ase mechan an mete nan tèt li.

His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them.

Tou sa li fè toujou mache byen. Li pa konprann jijman Bondye yo. L'ap meprize lènmi l' yo.

He hath said in his heart, I shall not be moved: for I shall never be in adversity.

L'ap di nan kè l': Anyen pa ka brannen m'. Mwen p'ap janm nan pwoblèm.

His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and fraud: under his tongue is mischief and vanity.

Tout pawòl li se madichon, se manti, se twonpe moun. Li cho konsa pou l' pale moun mal, pou l' di gwo mo.

He sitteth in the lurking places of the villages: in the secret places doth he murder the innocent: his eyes are privily set against the poor.

Li kache kò l' nan ti bouk yo, l'ap pare tann inonsan yo pou l' touye yo an kachèt. L'ap veye moun ki san defans.

He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lieth in wait to catch the poor: he doth catch the poor, when he draweth him into his net.

Li anbiske kò l' tankou yon lyon nan kachèt li. Li kouche, l'ap tann malere yo. Li pran yo nan pèlen li, li trennen yo pote ale.

He croucheth, and humbleth himself, that the poor may fall by his strong ones.

Li bese, li kwoupi kò l', malere yo tonbe nan men l'.

He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face; he will never see it.

Mechan an di nan kè l': -Bondye p'ap okipe bagay konsa. Li fèmen je l', li p'ap janm wè m'.

Arise, O LORD; O God, lift up thine hand: forget not the humble.

Leve non, Seyè! vin sove mwen! Bondye, pa bliye moun y'ap peze yo!

Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require it.

Ki jan mechan an fè ap meprize Bondye jouk pou li di nan kè l': Li p'ap pini mwen?

Thou hast seen it; for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to requite it with thy hand: the poor committeth himself unto thee; thou art the helper of the fatherless.

Men, ou make tout bagay. Ou konnen soufrans ak lapenn lèzòm. Ou toujou pare pou ede yo. Moun ki san defans yo, se nan men ou yo lage kòz yo, paske ou toujou ede moun ki san papa.

Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil man: seek out his wickedness till thou find none.

Kraze pouvwa mechan yo, pouvwa moun k'ap fè mal yo. Fè yo rann kont pou sa yo fè, jouk yo disparèt nèt devan je ou.

The LORD is King for ever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land.

Seyè a, se wa li ye depi tout tan ak pou tout tan. Moun lòt nasyon yo gen pou disparèt nan peyi li a.

LORD, thou hast heard the desire of the humble: thou wilt prepare their heart, thou wilt cause thine ear to hear:

Seyè, w'a koute moun ki soumèt devan ou lè y'ap lapriyè. W'a ba yo kouraj.

To judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that the man of the earth may no more oppress.

W'a tande rèl moun y'ap peze yo, rèl timoun ki san papa yo. W'a fè yo jistis. Konsa, lèzòm ki fèt ak pousyè tè p'ap kapab fè moun pè ankò.
