Psalms 37

Fret not thyself because of evildoers, neither be thou envious against the workers of iniquity.

Se yon sòm David. Pa fè kòlè lè ou wè mechan yo! Pa anvye sò moun k'ap fè mal yo!

For they shall soon be cut down like the grass, and wither as the green herb.

Talè konsa, y'ap rache yo tankou raje. Yo gen pou yo fennen tankou zèb gazon.

Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed.

Mete konfyans ou nan Seyè a, fè sa ki byen! Pran peyi a fè kay ou, viv ak kè poze!

Delight thyself also in the LORD; and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart.

Si se nan Seyè a ou pran tout plezi ou, l'a ba ou tou sa ou ta renmen.

Commit thy way unto the LORD; trust also in him; and he shall bring it to pass.

Renmèt kòz ou nan men Seyè a! Mete konfyans ou nan li, l'a ede ou.

And he shall bring forth thy righteousness as the light, and thy judgment as the noonday.

L'a fè jistis ou parèt aklè tankou yon limyè, l'a fè rezon ou parèt aklè tankou gwo solèy midi.

Rest in the LORD, and wait patiently for him: fret not thyself because of him who prospereth in his way, because of the man who bringeth wicked devices to pass.

Rete dousman dèvan Seyè a, pran san ou. Tann li fè sa l' gen pou l' fè a. Pa fè kòlè lè ou wè moun gen zafè yo ap mache byen. lè ou wè moun reyalize tout move lide yo gen nan tèt yo.

Cease from anger, and forsake wrath: fret not thyself in any wise to do evil.

Pa fache, pa fè move san. Ou pa bezwen ennève! Sa kapab fè ou fè sa ki mal.

For evildoers shall be cut off: but those that wait upon the LORD, they shall inherit the earth.

Moun ki mete konfyans yo nan Seyè a va pran peyi a pou yo. Men, y'ap disparèt mechan yo.

For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: yea, thou shalt diligently consider his place, and it shall not be.

Talè konsa, p'ap gen mechan ankò. W'a chache yo, ou p'ap jwenn yo.

But the meek shall inherit the earth; and shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.

Men, moun ki soumèt devan Bondye, yo pral resevwa pèyi a pou byen yo, y'a viv ak kè poze nèt ale.

The wicked plotteth against the just, and gnasheth upon him with his teeth.

Mechan yo ap fè konplo sou moun k'ap mache dwat yo. Y'ap gade yo konsa, yo anvi devore yo.

The Lord shall laugh at him: for he seeth that his day is coming.

Seyè a ap ri mechan an, paske li konnen mechan an pa la pou lontan.

The wicked have drawn out the sword, and have bent their bow, to cast down the poor and needy, and to slay such as be of upright conversation.

Mechan yo rale koulin yo, y'ap pare banza yo, pou yo touye pòv yo ak malere yo, pou ansasinen moun k'ap mache dwat yo.

Their sword shall enter into their own heart, and their bows shall be broken.

Men, se yo menm menm koulin yo pral rache. Banza yo menm ap kase nan men yo.

A little that a righteous man hath is better than the riches of many wicked.

Pito ou pa gen anpil byen, men ou mache dwat, pase pou ou gen anpil richès nan fè sa ki mal.

For the arms of the wicked shall be broken: but the LORD upholdeth the righteous.

Paske, Bondye ap kraze kouraj mechan yo, men l'ap soutni moun ki mache dwat yo.

The LORD knoweth the days of the upright: and their inheritance shall be for ever.

Seyè a konnen jan moun ki fè volonte l' yo ap viv. Eritaj yo la pou tout tan.

They shall not be ashamed in the evil time: and in the days of famine they shall be satisfied.

Yo p'ap wont lè bagay gate, y'ap jwenn tou sa yo bezwen lè grangou tonbe sou peyi a.

But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD shall be as the fat of lambs: they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away.

Men mechan yo ap peri. Moun ki pa vle wè Seyè a ap fennen tankou flè savann. Y'ap disparèt tankou lafimen.

The wicked borroweth, and payeth not again: but the righteous sheweth mercy, and giveth.

Mechan an prete, li pa nan renmèt. Men, moun ki mache dwat yo gen kè sansib, yo fè kado.

For such as be blessed of him shall inherit the earth; and they that be cursed of him shall be cut off.

Moun Seyè a beni va pran peyi a pou yo. Men, moun ki anba madichon Bondye gen pou disparèt sou tè a.

The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way.

Seyè a pran men lèzòm, li mete yo nan bon chemen. Li kontan wè yo mache dwat.

Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down: for the LORD upholdeth him with his hand.

Si yo tonbe, yo p'ap rete atè a. Paske Seyè a ap ba yo men.

I have been young, and now am old; yet have I not seen the righteous forsaken, nor his seed begging bread.

Depi mwen timoun jouk mwen vin granmoun, mwen pa janm wè Bondye lage yon moun ki mache dwat, ni mwen pa janm wè pitit pitit li yo ap mande charite.

He is ever merciful, and lendeth; and his seed is blessed.

Okontrè, moun ki mache dwat l'a toujou gen kè sansib pou l' bay, pou li prete moun tou. Tout pitit pitit li yo tounen yon benediksyon pou lòt moun.

Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.

Pa fè mal, fè sa ki byen. W'a toujou gen yon kote nan peyi a pou ou rete.

For the LORD loveth judgment, and forsaketh not his saints; they are preserved for ever: but the seed of the wicked shall be cut off.

Paske, Seyè a renmen moun ki mache dwat. Li pa lage moun ki kenbe fèm nan sèvis li. L'ap toujou pwoteje yo. Men, ras mechan yo gen pou disparèt.

The righteous shall inherit the land, and dwell therein for ever.

Moun ki mache dwat gen pou pran peyi a pou yo. Y'ap rete nan peyi a tout tan tout tan.

The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment.

Moun ki mache dwat devan Bondye bay bon konsèy. Se bon pawòl ase ki soti nan bouch li.

The law of his God is in his heart; none of his steps shall slide.

Li kenbe lalwa Bondye a fèm nan kè li, li p'ap janm bite.

The wicked watcheth the righteous, and seeketh to slay him.

Mechan an ap veye tout vire tounen moun k'ap mache dwat, l'ap chache jan pou l' touye l'.

The LORD will not leave him in his hand, nor condemn him when he is judged.

Men, Seyè a p'ap lage l' nan men mechan an, li p'ap kite yo kondannen l' lè y'ap jije l'.

Wait on the LORD, and keep his way, and he shall exalt thee to inherit the land: when the wicked are cut off, thou shalt see it.

Mete konfyans ou nan Seyè a, fè tou sa l' mande ou fè. L'ap ba ou fòs pou ou ka pran peyi a pou ou. Ou gen pou wè mechan yo disparèt sou latè.

I have seen the wicked in great power, and spreading himself like a green bay tree.

Mwen te wè yon mechan ki te fè tout moun pè li, li te kanpe tankou yon gwo pye mapou.

Yet he passed away, and, lo, he was not: yea, I sought him, but he could not be found.

Apre sa, mwen tounen vin pase kote l' te ye a, li pa t' la. Mwen chache l', mwen pa janm wè l' ankò.

Mark the perfect man, and behold the upright: for the end of that man is peace.

Gade moun k'ap mache dwat la byen gade. Gade tout vire tounen l'. Moun ki viv byen ak tout moun ap gen pitit ak pitit pitit.

But the transgressors shall be destroyed together: the end of the wicked shall be cut off.

Men, moun k'ap fè mal yo, y'ap rete konsa y'ap disparèt. Tout pitit ak pitit pitit yo ap disparèt tou.

But the salvation of the righteous is of the LORD: he is their strength in the time of trouble.

Se Seyè a k'ap sove moun ki mache dwat yo. L'ap sèvi yo defans lè yo nan tray.

And the LORD shall help them, and deliver them: he shall deliver them from the wicked, and save them, because they trust in him.

L'ap pote yo sekou, l'ap delivre yo. L'ap wete yo anba men mechan yo, paske se anba zèl li y' al chache pwoteksyon.
