< 2 Chronicles 7 >
1 When Solomon had finished praying, fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices, and the glory of the LORD filled the temple.
Lè wa Salomon fin fè lapriyè sa a, dife desann soti nan syèl la, li boule bèt yo te ofri sou lotèl la ak lòt pòsyon vyann yo te ofri.
2 The priests were unable to enter the house of the LORD, because the glory of the LORD had filled it.
Anmenmtan an, limyè prezans Seyè a te plen Tanp lan.
3 When all the Israelites saw the fire coming down and the glory of the LORD above the temple, they bowed down on the pavement with their faces to the ground, and they worshiped and gave thanks to the LORD: “For He is good; His loving devotion endures forever.”
Lè tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo wè dife desann soti nan syèl la ak bèl limyè prezans Seyè a ki te klere tout anndan Tanp lan, yo mete ajenou, yo bese tèt yo jouk fwon yo rive sou dal pave a, yo adore Bondye, yo t'ap fè lwanj Seyè a, yo di l' mèsi paske li bon, paske li p'ap janm sispann renmen yo.
4 Then the king and all the people offered sacrifices before the LORD.
Apre sa, wa Salomon ansanm ak tout pèp Izrayèl ki te la a ofri bèt pou yo touye pou Seyè a.
5 And King Solomon offered a sacrifice of 22,000 oxen and 120,000 sheep. So the king and all the people dedicated the house of God.
Wa Salomon te ofri venndemil (22.000) towo ak sanvenmil (120.000) mouton pou mande Bondye padon. Se konsa wa a ansanm ak tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo te mete Tanp lan apa pou Seyè a.
6 The priests stood at their posts, as did the Levites with the musical instruments of the LORD, which King David had made for giving thanks to the LORD and with which David had offered praise, saying, “For His loving devotion endures forever.” Across from the Levites, the priests sounded trumpets, and all the Israelites were standing.
Prèt yo te rete nan plas yo te ba yo nan Tanp lan. Devan yo se te moun Levi yo ki t'ap fè lwanj Seyè a ak enstriman mizik wa David te fè fè pou jwe pandan y'ap chante chante ki di: Paske li p'ap janm sispann renmen nou. Prèt yo t'ap kònen twonpèt, tout pèp Izrayèl la menm te rete kanpe.
7 Then Solomon consecrated the middle of the courtyard in front of the house of the LORD, and there he offered the burnt offerings and the fat of the peace offerings, since the bronze altar he had made could not contain all these offerings.
Menm jou sa a, Salomon mete mitan gwo lakou ki devan Tanp Seyè a apa pou Bondye. Lèfini, se la li ofri bèt pou boule nèt pou Seyè a, ak grès bèt yo te touye pou mande Bondye padon, paske lotèl kwiv Salomon te fè fè a te twò piti pou pran tout ofrann bèt yo te touye pou boule nèt pou Seyè a, grenn jaden yo ak grès bèt yo te touye pou mande Bondye padon.
8 So at that time Solomon and all Israel with him—a very great assembly of people from Lebo-hamath to the Brook of Egypt—kept the feast for seven days.
Lè sa a, Salomon ansanm ak tout pèp Izrayèl la fete fèt Joupa yo pandan sèt jou. Foul moun te soti depi Pas Amat la nan nò jouk sou fwontyè ak peyi Lejip la nan sid, yo vin fete la.
9 On the eighth day they held a solemn assembly, for the dedication of the altar had lasted seven days, and the feast seven days more.
Yo pase sèt jou ap fè sèvis pou mete lotèl la apa pou sèvis Bondye, lèfini yo pase sèt jou ankò ap fè fèt. Sou wityèm jou fèt la, yo fè yon gwo sèvis pou fèmen seremoni an.
10 On the twenty-third day of the seventh month, Solomon sent the people away to their homes, joyful and glad of heart for the good things that the LORD had done for David, for Solomon, and for His people Israel.
Nan denmen, ki vle di nan venntwazyèm jou setyèm mwa a, Salomon voye tout moun tounen lakay yo. Yo tout t'ap fè fèt, yo al lakay yo ak kè kontan, paske sa te fè yo plezi pou wè tou sa Seyè a te fè pou David, pou Salomon ak pou pèp Izrayèl li a.
11 When Solomon had finished the house of the LORD and the royal palace, successfully carrying out all that was in his heart to do for the house of the LORD and for his own palace,
Lè wa Salomon fin bati Tanp Seyè a ansanm ak palè wa a, lè li fin fè tou sa li te gen lide fè nan yo,
12 the LORD appeared to him at night and said to him: “I have heard your prayer and have chosen this place for Myself as a house of sacrifice.
Seyè a fè Salomon wè l' ankò yon jou lannwit. Li di l' konsa: -Mwen tande lapriyè ou fè nan pye m'. M' chwazi kay sa a pou sèvi kote pou yo vin touye bèt pou mwen.
13 If I close the sky so there is no rain, or if I command the locust to devour the land, or if I send a plague among My people,
Si mwen ta rive fèmen syèl la pou lapli pa tonbe, si mwen ta voye krikèt pou devore peyi a, si mwen ta voye move maladi sou pèp la,
14 and if My people who are called by My name humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land.
lè sa a si pèp ki pote non m' lan lapriyè nan pye m', si yo soumèt devan mwen, si yo pran chache m' ankò, si yo vire do bay vye peche yo t'ap fè yo, m'ap tande yo nan syèl kote m' ye a, m'ap padonnen peche yo, m'ap fè peyi a kanpe ankò.
15 Now My eyes will be open and My ears attentive to the prayers offered in this place.
Depi jòdi a, je m' louvri, zòrèy mwen pare pou m' tande tout lapriyè y'ap fè isit la.
16 For I have now chosen and consecrated this temple so that My Name may be there forever. My eyes and My heart will be there for all time.
Depi jòdi a, mwen chwazi kay sa a, mwen mete l' apa pou mwen. Se la pou yo fè sèvis pou mwen. M'ap veye l', m'ap pwoteje l' chak jou.
17 And as for you, if you walk before Me as your father David walked, doing all I have commanded you, and if you keep My statutes and ordinances,
Ou menm pou tèt pa ou, si ou mache devan m' tankou David, papa ou, si ou fè tou sa mwen mande ou fè, si ou koute lòd ak bon prensip mwen yo,
18 then I will establish your royal throne, as I covenanted with your father David when I said, ‘You will never fail to have a man to rule over Israel.’
m'a kenbe gouvènman ou lan chita jan mwen te pwomèt David, papa ou la, lè m' te di l' ap toujou gen yon moun nan fanmi li ki pou gouvènen pèp Izrayèl la.
19 But if you turn away and forsake the statutes and commandments I have set before you, and if you go off to serve and worship other gods,
Men, si ou menm osinon yonn nan pitit ou yo vire do ban mwen, si nou pa fè sa m' mande nou fè, si nou pa koute lòd mwen ban nou, si n al sèvi lòt bondye, si n' al adore lòt bondye,
20 then I will uproot Israel from the soil I have given them, and I will banish from My presence this temple I have sanctified for My Name. I will make it an object of scorn and ridicule among all the peoples.
lè sa a, m'ap wete pèp Izrayèl la nan peyi mwen ba yo a. M'ap vire do bay tanp mwen te mete apa tankou kote pou yo fè sèvis pou mwen an. Moun toupatou va pase l' nan betiz, y'a fè chante sou li.
21 And when this temple has become a heap of rubble, all who pass by it will be appalled and say, ‘Why has the LORD done such a thing to this land and to this temple?’
Kay sa a ki te sitèlman bèl pral tounen yon pil mazi. Tout moun ki va pase bò la a va sezi, y'a mete men nan bouch, y'a mande poukisa Seyè a fè peyi a ak tanp lan sa.
22 And others will answer, ‘Because they have forsaken the LORD, the God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and have embraced other gods, worshiping and serving them—because of this, He has brought all this disaster upon them.’”
Y'a reponn: Se paske yo te vire do bay Seyè a, Bondye zansèt yo a, ki te fè yo soti kite peyi Lejip. Yo kouri dèyè lòt bondye, yo fè sèvis pou yo, yo adore yo. Se poutèt sa Seyè a te voye gwo malè sa a sou yo.
