1 Chronicles 17
1 After David had settled into his palace, he said to Nathan the prophet, “Here I am, living in a house of cedar, while the ark of the covenant of the LORD is under a tent.”
Wa David te byen chita nan palè li. Yon jou li fè rele pwofèt Natan, li di l' konsa: -Gade! Mwen rete nan yon kay bati ak bwa sèd, men Bwat Kontra Seyè a se anba yon kay twal li ye.
2 And Nathan replied to David, “Do all that is in your heart, for God is with you.”
Natan reponn li: -Tou sa ou gen lide fè, ou mèt fè l' paske Seyè a kanpe la avèk ou.
3 But that night the word of God came to Nathan, saying,
Men, menm jou lannwit sa a, Bondye pale ak Natan. Li di l' konsa:
4 “Go and tell My servant David that this is what the LORD says: You are not the one to build Me a house in which to dwell.
-Ale di David, sèvitè m' lan, men sa mwen menm Seyè a, mwen voye di l': Se pa ou menm ki pral bati yon tanp pou m' rete.
5 For I have not dwelt in a house from the day I brought Israel up out of Egypt until this day, but I have moved from tent to tent and dwelling to dwelling.
Depi jou mwen te fè moun pèp Izrayèl yo soti kite peyi Lejip rive jòdi a, mwen pa janm rete nan yon kay. Tout kote m' pase, se anba yon tant twal mwen toujou ye.
6 In all My journeys with all the Israelites, have I ever asked any of the leaders I appointed to shepherd My people, ‘Why haven’t you built Me a house of cedar?’
Nan tout deplasman mwen ansanm ak moun Izrayèl yo, mwen pa janm mande yonn nan chèf mwen te chwazi pou gouvènen pèp mwen an poukisa yo pa bati yon kay ak bwa sèd pou mwen.
7 Now then, you are to tell My servant David that this is what the LORD of Hosts says: I took you from the pasture, from following the flock, to be the ruler over My people Israel.
Koulye a, men sa w'a di David, sèvitè m' lan: Men sa Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a voye di ou: Se mwen menm ki te pran ou dèyè mouton ou t'ap gade nan savann yo, mwen mete ou chèf pèp Izrayèl la, pèp mwen an.
8 I have been with you wherever you have gone, and I have cut off all your enemies from before you. Now I will make for you a name like the greatest in the land.
Kote ou pase, mwen te kanpe la avè ou. Mwen kraze tout lènmi ou yo devan ou. Mwen pral fè yo nonmen non ou tankou y'ap nonmen non pi gwo chèf ki sou latè.
9 And I will provide a place for My people Israel and will plant them so that they may dwell in a place of their own and be disturbed no more. No longer will the sons of wickedness oppress them as they did at the beginning
Lèfini, mwen pare yon kote pou pèp Izrayèl mwen an. Mwen pral tabli yo la pou yo ka viv san yo pa bezwen pè anyen ankò. Mechan p'ap vin maltrete yo ankò jan yo te konn fè l' anvan an,
10 and have done since the day I appointed judges over My people Israel. And I will subdue all your enemies. Moreover, I declare to you that the LORD will build a house for you.
lè mwen te mete jij chèf yo pou gouvènen pèp Izrayèl mwen an. M'ap delivre ou anba men tout lènmi ou yo. Mwen te fè ou konnen m'ap ba ou pitit ak pitit pitit.
11 And when your days are fulfilled and you go to be with your fathers, I will raise up your descendant after you, one of your own sons, and I will establish his kingdom.
Lè lè a va rive pou ou mouri, lè y'a antere ou, m'ap pran yonn nan pitit ou yo, m'ap mete l' wa nan plas ou. M'ap fè gouvènman l' lan kanpe fèm.
12 He will build a house for Me, and I will establish his throne forever.
Se li menm ki va bati yon tanp pou mwen, m'ap fè gouvènman l' lan kanpe fèm pou tout tan.
13 I will be his Father, and he will be My son. And I will never remove My loving devotion from him as I removed it from your predecessor.
M'ap yon papa pou li. Li menm l'ap yon pitit pou mwen. Mwen p'ap lage l' jan mwen te lage moun ki te wa anvan ou lan.
14 But I will set him over My house and My kingdom forever, and his throne will be established forever.”
M'ap mete l' chèf lakay mwen ak nan gouvènman mwen an pou tout tan. M'ap fè gouvènman fanmi li an kanpe fèm pou tout tan.
15 So Nathan relayed to David all the words of this entire vision.
Natan rakonte David tou sa Bondye te fè l' konnen nan vizyon an.
16 Then King David went in, sat before the LORD, and said, “Who am I, O LORD God, and what is my house, that You have brought me this far?
Aprè sa, wa David ale nan Tanp lan, li chita devan Seyè a, li di l' konsa: -Seyè Bondye sèl Mèt la, kisa mwen ye? Kisa fanmi mwen ye pou ou te fè tout sa ou deja fè pou nou?
17 And as if this was a small thing in Your eyes, O God, You have spoken about the future of the house of Your servant and have regarded me as a man of great distinction, O LORD God.
Men, ou wè sa pa kont toujou, Bondye sèl Mèt la! Kifè koulye a w'ap fè konnen sa ki pral rive fanmi mwen denmen nan lanne k'ap vini yo. Ou trete m' tankou yon grannèg, Seyè sèl Mèt la.
18 What more can David say to You for so honoring Your servant? For You know Your servant,
Kisa mwen menm David, mwen ka di ou, Seyè, apre sa pou bèl bagay ou fè pou mwen yo? Ou konnen ki moun mwen ye, mwen menm k'ap sèvi ou la.
19 O LORD. For the sake of Your servant and according to Your own heart, You have accomplished this great thing and revealed all Your greatness.
Se paske ou te fè pwomès la, paske ou te vle l' konsa, Seyè, kifè ou te fè tout bèl bagay sa yo pou ou te fè m' konnen yo.
20 O LORD, there is none like You, and there is no God but You, according to everything we have heard with our own ears.
Seyè, Bondye mwen, pa gen tankou ou. Pa gen lòt Bondye pase ou menm! Yo te toujou di nou sa.
21 And who is like Your people Israel—the one nation on earth whom God went out to redeem as a people for Himself? You made a name for Yourself through great and awesome wonders by driving out nations from before Your people, whom You redeemed from Egypt.
Pa gen lòt nasyon sou latè tankou pèp Izrayèl la. Se ou menm ki delivre yo pou yo te ka tounen yon pèp ki rele ou pa ou. Se pou yo ase ou fè sa! Toupatou sou latè y'ap nonmen non ou pou gwo mirak ak bèl bagay ou fè pou yo. Ou mete lòt nasyon deyò pou fè plas pou pèp ou a, pèp ou te delivre anba pouvwa pèp peyi Lejip la.
22 For You have made Your people Israel Your very own forever, and You, O LORD, have become their God.
Ou fè pèp Izrayèl la tounen pèp pa ou pou tout tan, ou menm ou tounen Bondye yo.
23 And now, O LORD, let the word You have spoken concerning Your servant and his house be established forever. Do as You have promised,
Koulye a, Seyè, Bondye, se pou ou kenbe pwomès ou te fè sèvitè ou la ansanm ak fanmi li an. Se pou ou fè sa ou di w'ap fè a.
24 so that Your name will be established and magnified forever when it is said, ‘The LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, is God over Israel.’ And may the house of Your servant David be established before You.
Kenbe pwomès ou pou tout moun rekonèt jan ou gen pouvwa, pou yo di: Se Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a ki Bondye pèp Izrayèl la vre. Se yon Bondye pou pèp Izrayèl la. Konsa, gouvènman ki nan men fanmi David, sèvitè ou la, va kanpe fèm pou tout tan devan ou.
25 For You, my God, have revealed to Your servant that You will build a house for him. Therefore Your servant has found the courage to pray before You.
Se ou menm, Bondye mwen, ki te fè m' konnen tou sa. Ou te di m', mwen menm sèvitè ou la, w'ap ban mwen yon fanmi, lèfini w'ap fè baton gouvènman an toujou rete nan men fanmi mwen. Se poutèt sa mwen gen kouraj fè lapriyè sa a nan pye ou.
26 And now, O LORD, You are God! And You have promised this goodness to Your servant.
Koulye a, Seyè, se ou ki Bondye, se ou ki pwomèt sèvitè ou la bèl bagay sa yo.
27 So now You have been pleased to bless the house of Your servant, that it may continue forever before You. For You, O LORD, have blessed it, and it will be blessed forever.”
Tanpri, beni tout fanmi mwen apre mwen, pou yo ka toujou anba pwoteksyon ou. Wi, Seyè, se ou ki bay benediksyon. Se pou ou toujou voye benediksyon ou sou fanmi mwen.
