< 1 Chronicles 28 >
1 And David assembled all the rulers of Israel, the rulers of the tribes, and the captains of the companies that served the king by division, and the captains of thousands, and the captains of hundreds, and the rulers over all the substance and possessions of the king and of his sons, with the officers, and the mighty men, even all the mighty men of valor, to Jerusalem.
David mande pou tout otorite peyi Izrayèl la reyini lavil Jerizalèm. Se konsa tout chèf branch fanmi yo, tout chèf gwoup ki te reskonsab dirije peyi a pou wa a, tout kòmandan rejiman mil sòlda yo ak kòmandan divizyon san sòlda yo, jeran tout tè ak gadò tout bèt ki pou wa a ak pou pitit li yo, moun konfyans li yo, chèf lame li yo ak tout vanyan sòlda li yo, yo tout reyini lavil Jerizalèm.
2 Then David the king stood up upon his feet, and said, Hear me, my brothers, and my people. As for me, it was in my heart to build a house of rest for the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, and for the footstool of our God. And I had made ready for the building.
David kanpe devan yo tout, li di yo konsa: -Frè m' yo ak nou tout moun nan pèp mwen an, koute sa m'ap di nou. Mwen te fè lide bati yon kay kote pou Bwat Kontra Seyè a rete, yon kay kote Seyè a ka mete fotèy li. Mwen te pare tout bagay pou bati kay la.
3 But God said to me, Thou shall not build a house for my name, because thou are a man of war, and have shed blood.
Men, Bondye te fè m' konnen mwen p'ap ka bati kay la pou li paske se sòlda mwen ye, mwen fè twòp san koule.
4 However Jehovah, the God of Israel, chose me out of all the house of my father to be king over Israel forever. For he has chosen Judah to be ruler, and in the house of Judah, the house of my father, and among the sons of my father he took pleasure in me to make me king over all Israel.
Men se mwen menm Seyè a, Bondye Izrayèl la, te chwazi nan mitan tout fanmi m' yo pou fè m' wa peyi Izrayèl la pou tout tan. Li te chwazi branch fanmi Jida a pou pran kòmandman peyi a. Nan branch fanmi Jida a, li chwazi fanmi papa m'. Nan fanmi papa m', sa te fè l' plezi pou l' chwazi m' pou l' mete m' wa sou tout peyi Izrayèl la.
5 And of all my sons (for Jehovah has given me many sons), he has chosen Solomon my son to sit upon the throne of the kingdom of Jehovah over Israel.
Koulye a, Seyè a te ban mwen anpil pitit. Men, nan tout pitit sa yo li chwazi Salomon pou chita sou fotèy la pou gouvènen pèp Izrayèl la ak pouvwa l'ap ba li.
6 And he said to me, Solomon thy son, he shall build my house and my courts, for I have chosen him to be my son, and I will be his father.
Seyè a te di m' tou: Se Salomon, pitit gason ou lan, ki va bati kay mwen an ak tout lakou yo. Se li menm mwen chwazi pou pitit mwen. M'a yon papa pou li.
7 And I will establish his kingdom forever, if he is constant to do my commandments and my ordinances, as at this day.
M'ap fè gouvènman l' lan kanpe fèm pou tout tan, depi li menm li toujou kenbe lòd mwen, depi li toujou mache dapre kòmandman m' yo jan l'ap fè l' jòdi a.
8 Now therefore, in the sight of all Israel, the assembly of Jehovah, and in the audience of our God, observe and seek out all the commandments of Jehovah your God, that ye may possess this good land, and leave it for an inheritance to your sons after you forever.
Koulye a, devan tout pèp Izrayèl la, pèp Bondye a ki sanble isit la, ak devan Bondye nou k'ap koute nou an, mwen mande pou nou kenbe tout kòmandman Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ban nou pou bèl peyi nou sa a toujou rete pou nou. Konsa, nou ka kite l' pou pitit nou yo jouk sa kaba.
9 And thou, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart and with a willing mind, for Jehovah searches all hearts, and understands all the imaginations of the thoughts. If thou seek him, he will be found by thee, but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off forever.
Ou menm, Salomon, pitit mwen, se pou ou rekonèt Bondye papa ou la. Se pou ou sèvi l' ak tout kè ou, avèk bon santiman, paske Seyè a sonde kè tout moun, li konnen tou sa k'ap pase nan tèt yo. Konsa, si ou chache l', l'ap kite ou jwenn li. Men, si ou vire do ba li, l'ap lage ou nèt tou pou tout tan.
10 Take heed now, for Jehovah has chosen thee to build a house for the sanctuary. Be strong, and do it.
Se pou ou rekonèt se Seyè a menm ki chwazi ou pou bati yon kay pou mete apa pou li. Mete gason sou ou! Antre nan travay!
11 Then David gave to Solomon his son the pattern of the porch of the temple, and of the houses of it, and of the treasuries of it, and of the upper rooms of it, and of the inner chambers of it, and of the place of the mercy-seat,
Apre sa, David bay Salomon plan tout kay tanp lan, plan tout chanm ak tout depo yo, plan tout lòt chanm sou anwo yo, chanm anndan yo ak plan gwo chanm yo mete apa pou Bondye a, kote yo fè sèvis pou mande padon pou peche yo.
12 and the pattern of all that he had by the Spirit, for the courts of the house of Jehovah, and for all the chambers round about, for the treasuries of the house of God, and for the treasuries of the dedicated things,
Li ba li plan tout bagay li te gen nan tèt li pou lakou tanp yo, pou tout chanm ki bay sou lakou yo, pou depo veso yo sèvi nan tanp lan ak pou depo bagay yo ofri pou mete apa pou Seyè a.
13 also for the divisions of the priests and the Levites, and for all the work of the service of the house of Jehovah, and for all the vessels of service in the house of Jehovah,
David te ba li tou jan pou li òganize prèt yo ak moun Levi yo pou yo fè travay yo, jan pou yo fè tout sèvis nan kay Seyè a, ak jan pou yo okipe tout veso Tanp lan.
14 of gold by weight for the vessels of gold, for all vessels of every kind of service; of silver for all the vessels of silver by weight, for all vessels of every kind of service,
Li di li konbe ajan ak lò la bezwen pou fè veso yo,
15 by weight also for the lampstands of gold, and for the lamps of it, of gold, by weight for every lampstand and for the lamps of it, and for the lampstands of silver, silver by weight for every lampstand and for the lamps of it, according to the use of every lampstand,
pou chak lanp, pou chak gwo lanp sèt branch an ajan osinon an lò ak pèz yo chak dwe genyen dapre sèvis yo,
16 and the gold by weight for the tables of showbread, for every table, and silver for the tables of silver,
pou chak tab an ajan osinon an lò kote pou yo ranje pen yo mete apa pou Seyè a.
17 and the flesh-hooks, and the basins, and the cups, of pure gold, and for the golden bowls by weight for every bowl, and for the silver bowls by weight for every bowl,
Li di li konbe lò l'a bezwen pou fè fouchèt yo, bòl yo, gwo gode yo, ak modèl lòt veso an ajan osinon an lò dapre pèz yo chak.
18 and for the altar of incense refined gold by weight, and gold for the pattern of the chariot, even the cherubim that spread out their wings, and covered the ark of the covenant of Jehovah.
Li di l' konbe bon lò l'ap bezwen pou fè lotèl lansan an, ak lò pou fè kabwa a, pou pòtre zanj cheriben yo ak zèl yo louvri sou Bwat Kontra Seyè a.
19 All this, David said, I have been made to understand in writing from the hand of Jehovah, even all the works of this pattern.
David di li: -Tout plan travay la ekri an detay nan yon liv dapre lòd Seyè a menm te ban mwen. Li esplike m' tou sa pou m' fè.
20 And David said to Solomon his son, Be strong and of good courage, and do it. Fear not, nor be dismayed, for Jehovah God, even my God, is with thee. He will not fail thee, nor forsake thee, until all the work for the service of the house of Jehovah be finished.
Apre sa, wa David di Salomon, pitit li a: -Mete gason sou ou! Pran kouraj, pitit mwen! Fè sa ou gen pou fè a! Pa kite anyen fè ou pè, paske Seyè a, Bondye mwen an, kanpe la avè ou, jouk tout travay pou sèvis Tanp lan fini.
21 And, behold, there are the courses of the priests and the Levites for all the service of the house of God. And there shall be with thee in all manner of work every willing man who has skill, for any manner of service. Also the captains and all the people will be wholly at thy commandment.
Gwoup prèt yo ak gwoup moun Levi yo deja resevwa travay pou yo fè nan Tanp lan. Pou tout lòt travay yo, ou gen avè ou ouvriye ki vle ede ou, lèfini ki gen ladrès nan tout kalite djòb. Chèf yo ak tout pèp la ap tann lòd ou pou tout bagay fèt.
