< 2 Samuel 7 >

1 When the king lived in his house, and the LORD had given him rest from all his enemies all around,
Alò, li te vin rive ke pandan wa a te rete lakay li a, e SENYÈ a te ba li repo tout kote sou lènmi li yo,
2 the king said to Nathan the prophet, “See now, I dwell in a house of cedar, but God’s ark dwells within curtains.”
ke wa a te vin di a Nathan, pwofèt la: “Gade koulye a, Mwen menm rete nan yon kay ki fèt ak bwa sèd; men lach Bondye a rete anndan yon tant ki fèt ak rido.”
3 Nathan said to the king, “Go, do all that is in your heart, for the LORD is with you.”
Nathan te di a wa a: “Ale, fè tout sa ki nan tèt ou, paske SENYÈ a avèk ou.”
4 That same night, the LORD’s word came to Nathan, saying,
Men nan menm nwit lan, pawòl SENYÈ a te vini a Nathan e te di:
5 “Go and tell my servant David, ‘The LORD says, “Should you build me a house for me to dwell in?
“Ale e pale a sèvitè Mwen an, David: ‘Se konsa SENYÈ a pale, “Èske se ou menm ki ta dwe bati yon kay pou Mwen ta vin rete ladann?
6 For I have not lived in a house since the day that I brought the children of Israel up out of Egypt, even to this day, but have moved around in a tent and in a tabernacle.
Paske Mwen pa t rete nan yon kay depi jou ke M te mennen fè sòti fis Israël yo an Égypte, jis rive jodi a. Men Mwen te konn deplase patou nan yon tant, menm yon tabènak.
7 In all places in which I have walked with all the children of Israel, did I say a word to anyone from the tribes of Israel whom I commanded to be shepherd of my people Israel, saying, ‘Why have you not built me a house of cedar?’”’
Nenpòt kote ke M te ale avèk tout fis Israël yo, èske M te pale yon sèl pawòl avèk youn nan tribi a Israël yo, ke M te kòmande pou fè bèje a pèp Mwen an, Israël, pou di: ‘Poukisa ou pa t bati pou Mwen yon kay ki fèt an sèd?’
8 Now therefore tell my servant David this: ‘The LORD of Armies says, “I took you from the sheep pen, from following the sheep, to be prince over my people, over Israel.
Alò pou sa, konsa ou va di a sèvitè Mwen an, David: ‘Konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo; Mwen te pran ou soti nan patiraj la, soti nan swiv mouton, pou devni yon chèf sou pèp Mwen an, Israël.
9 I have been with you wherever you went, and have cut off all your enemies from before you. I will make you a great name, like the name of the great ones who are in the earth.
Mwen te toujou avèk ou nenpòt kote ou te ale, e Mwen te retire lènmi ou yo soti devan ou. Konsa, Mwen va fè de ou yon gwo non, tankou non a gwo moun ki sou latè yo.
10 I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in their own place and be moved no more. The children of wickedness will not afflict them any more, as at the first,
Mwen va, osi, etabli yon plas pou pèp Mwen an, Israël. Mwen va plante yo, pou yo kab viv nan pwòp plas yo e pou yo pa vin deranje ankò, ni pou mechan pa aflije yo ankò tankou lontan,
11 and as from the day that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. I will cause you to rest from all your enemies. Moreover the LORD tells you that the LORD will make you a house.
menm soti nan jou ke M te kòmande jij yo pou vin sou pèp Mwen an, Israël. Epi Mwen va ba ou repo sou tout lènmi ou yo. SENYÈ a va osi deklare a ou menm ke SENYÈ a va fè yon kay pou ou.
12 When your days are fulfilled and you sleep with your fathers, I will set up your offspring after you, who will proceed out of your body, and I will establish his kingdom.
Lè jou ou yo fin pase e ou kouche avèk zansèt ou yo, Mwen va fè vin leve desandan apre ou, ki va vin sòti nan ou menm e Mwen va etabli wayòm li.
13 He will build a house for my name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom forever.
Li va bati yon kay pou non Mwen e Mwen va etabli twòn wayòm li a jis pou tout tan.
14 I will be his father, and he will be my son. If he commits iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men and with the stripes of the children of men;
Mwen va yon papa a li menm e li va yon fis pou Mwen. Lè li fè inikite, Mwen va korije li avèk baton lòm nan, ak kout fwèt a fis a lòm yo.
15 but my loving kindness will not depart from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before you.
Men mizerikòd Mwen p ap sòti sou li jan Mwen te retire li sou Saül, ke Mwen te fè vin retire devan ou an.
16 Your house and your kingdom will be made sure forever before you. Your throne will be established forever.”’”
Lakay ou ak wayòm ou va dire devan Mwen pou tout tan. Twòn ou an va etabli pou tout tan.”’”
17 Nathan spoke to David all these words, and according to all this vision.
An akò avèk tout pawòl sila yo, tout vizyon sila yo, Nathan te pale avèk David.
18 Then David the king went in and sat before the LORD; and he said, “Who am I, Lord GOD, and what is my house, that you have brought me this far?
Epi David, wa a, te antre chita devan SENYÈ a. Li te di: “Se kilès mwen ye, O Mèt BONDYE e se kisa lakay mwen ye, pou Ou te mennen mwen jis rive isit la?
19 This was yet a small thing in your eyes, Lord GOD, but you have spoken also of your servant’s house for a great while to come; and this among men, Lord GOD!
Epi anplis, sa te yon ti bagay nan zye Ou, O Mèt BONDYE, paske Ou te pale osi pa lakay sèvitè Ou a, de avni byen lwen an. Epi sa se koutim a lòm, O Mèt BONDYE
20 What more can David say to you? For you know your servant, Lord GOD.
Ankò, ki bagay anplis David kab di Ou? Paske Ou konnen sèvitè Ou a, O Mèt, BONDYE!
21 For your word’s sake, and according to your own heart, you have worked all this greatness, to make your servant know it.
Pou koz a pawòl Ou e selon pwòp kè Ou, Ou te fè tout gwo bagay sila yo pou fè sèvitè Ou konnen.
22 Therefore you are great, LORD God. For there is no one like you, neither is there any God besides you, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
Pou rezon sa a, Ou gran, O Mèt BONDYE; paske nanpwen lòt tankou Ou menm e nanpwen lòt dye sof ke Ou menm, selon tout sa ke nou te tande avèk pwòp zòrèy nou.
23 What one nation in the earth is like your people, even like Israel, whom God went to redeem to himself for a people, and to make himself a name, and to do great things for you, and awesome things for your land, before your people, whom you redeemed to yourself out of Egypt, from the nations and their gods?
Epi ki lòt nasyon sou latè ki tankou pèp Ou a, Israël, ke Bondye te ale peye ranson pou Li menm kòm yon pèp, e pou fè yon non pou Li menm; pou fè yon gran bagay pou Ou ak bagay mèvèy pou peyi Ou a, devan pèp ke Ou te peye ranson pou kont Ou sòti an Égypte la, nan mitan nasyon yo, avèk dye pa yo.
24 You established for yourself your people Israel to be your people forever; and you, LORD, became their God.
Paske Ou te etabli pou kont Ou, pèp Ou a, Israël kòm pèp Ou pou tout tan, e Ou menm, O SENYÈ a te devni Bondye pa yo.
25 “Now, LORD God, the word that you have spoken concerning your servant, and concerning his house, confirm it forever, and do as you have spoken.
“Pou sa, koulye a, O SENYÈ Bondye, pawòl ke Ou te pale konsènan sèvitè Ou avèk lakay li a, konfime nèt e fè jan Ou te pale a.
26 Let your name be magnified forever, saying, ‘The LORD of Armies is God over Israel; and the house of your servant David will be established before you.’
Kite non Ou kapab vin resevwa glwa jis pou tout tan, pou di: ‘SENYÈ dèzame a se Bondye sou Israël la; epi pou lakay a sèvitè Ou a kapab vin etabli devan Ou.’
27 For you, LORD of Armies, the God of Israel, have revealed to your servant, saying, ‘I will build you a house.’ Therefore your servant has found in his heart to pray this prayer to you.
Paske Ou menm, O SENYÈ, Bondye a Israël la, te fè yon revelasyon a sèvitè Ou a e te di: ‘Mwen va bati yon kay pou ou’. Pou sa, sèvitè Ou a te jwenn kouraj pou fè priyè sila a, a Ou menm.
28 “Now, O Lord GOD, you are God, and your words are truth, and you have promised this good thing to your servant.
“Alò, O Senyè BONDYE, Ou se Bondye. Pawòl Ou se verite e Ou te pwomèt bon bagay sila a a sèvitè pa Ou a.
29 Now therefore, let it please you to bless the house of your servant, that it may continue forever before you; for you, Lord GOD, have spoken it. Let the house of your servant be blessed forever with your blessing.”
Alò, pou sa, pou li kapab fè Ou plezi pou beni lakay sèvitè pa Ou a, pou li kapab kontinye pou tout tan devan Ou. Paske Ou menm, O Senyè BONDYE, te pale; epi avèk benediksyon pa Ou, pou lakay sèvitè Ou a kapab beni pou tout tan.”
