2 Chronicles 7
1 And when Solomon had completed pouring out his prayers, fire descended from heaven, and it devoured the holocausts and the victims. And the majesty of the Lord filled the house.
Alò, lè Salomon te fin fè priyè a, dife a te sòti nan syèl la pou te boule ofrann brile a avèk sakrifis yo; e glwa a SENYÈ a te ranpli kay la.
2 Neither were the priests able to enter into the temple of the Lord, because the majesty of the Lord had filled the temple of the Lord.
Prèt yo pa t kab antre lakay SENYÈ a akoz glwa SENYÈ a te ranpli kay la.
3 Moreover, all the sons of Israel saw the fire descending, and the glory of the Lord upon the house. And falling prone upon the ground, on the layer of pavement stones, they adored and praised the Lord: “For he is good. For his mercy is everlasting.”
Tout fis Israël yo, lè yo te wè dife a desann, e glwa SENYÈ a sou kay la, yo te bese ba sou pave a avèk figi yo atè pou yo te adore e te bay lwanj a SENYÈ a. Yo te di: “Konsa Li bon, paske lanmou dous Li a dire pou tout tan,”
4 Then the king and all the people were immolating victims before the Lord.
Epi wa a avèk tout pèp la te ofri sakrifis devan SENYÈ a.
5 And so, king Solomon slaughtered victims: twenty-two thousand oxen, and one hundred twenty thousand rams. And the king and the entire people dedicated the house of God.
Wa Salomon te ofri yon sakrifis a venn-de-mil bèf ak san-ven-mil mouton. Konsa, wa a avèk tout pèp la te dedye kay Bondye a.
6 Then the priests and the Levites were standing in their offices, with the instruments of music for the Lord, which king David made in order to praise the Lord: “For his mercy is eternal.” And they were playing the hymns of David with their hands. And the priests were sounding out with trumpets before them, and all of Israel was standing.
Prèt yo te kanpe nan pòs pa yo, e Levit yo tou avèk enstriman mizik a SENYÈ a, ke Wa David te fè pou bay lwanj a SENYÈ a lè David te bay lwanj sèvis yo. E yo te di, “Paske lanmou dous Li a dire pou tout tan”. Konsa, prèt yo te soufle twonpèt devan yo, epi tout Israël te kanpe.
7 Also, Solomon sanctified the middle of the atrium in front of the temple of the Lord. For he had offered the holocausts and the fat of peace offerings in that place because the bronze altar, which he had made, had not been able to support the holocausts and the sacrifices and the fat.
Salomon te konsakre mitan lakou ki te devan kay SENYÈ a pou fè l sen. Paske la, li te ofri ofrann brile ak grès ofrann lapè yo akoz lotèl an bwonz ke Salomon te fè a pa t kab kenbe ofrann brile a, ofrann sereyal la ak grès la.
8 Therefore, Solomon kept the solemnity, at that time, for seven days, and all of Israel with him, a very great assembly, from the entrance of Hamath, even to the torrent of Egypt.
Konsa, Salomon te obsève fèt la nan tan sa a pandan sèt jou e tout Israël avèk li; yon trè gran asanble ki te sòti depi nan antre Hamath jis rive nan flèv Égypte la.
9 And on the eighth day, he held a solemn gathering, because he had dedicated the altar over seven days, and he had celebrated the solemnity over seven days.
Nan uityèm jou a, yo te kenbe yon asanble solanèl pou obsève dedikasyon lotèl la. Yo te obsève l pou sèt jou, e fèt la pandan sèt jou.
10 And so, on the twenty-third day of the seventh month, he dismissed the people to their dwellings, joyful and glad over the good that the Lord had done for David, and for Solomon, and for his people Israel.
Epi sou venn-twazyèm jou nan setyèm mwa a, li te voye pèp la nan tant yo, ranpli avèk jwa e avèk kè kontan, akoz bonte ke SENYÈ a te montre a David, a Salomon e a pèp Li a, Israël.
11 And Solomon completed the house of the Lord, and the house of the king, and all that he had resolved in his heart to do for the house of the Lord, and for his own house. And he prospered.
Se konsa Salomon te fini kay SENYÈ a avèk palè wa a, e li te acheve nèt tout sa ke li te fè plan pou fè lakay SENYÈ a ak nan kay pa li a.
12 Then the Lord appeared to him by night, and said: “I have heard your prayer, and I have chosen this place for myself as a house of sacrifice.
Konsa, SENYÈ a te parèt a Salomon nan nwit lan. Li te di l: “Mwen te tande lapriyè ou a, e Mwen te chwazi plas sa a pou Mwen menm kòm yon kay sakrifis.
13 If I close up heaven, so that no rain will fall, or if I order and instruct the locust to devour the land, or if I send a pestilence among my people,
“Si Mwen vin fèmen syèl yo pou pa gen lapli, oswa si Mwen kòmande krikèt yo pou devore latè, oswa si Mwen voye toumant pami pèp Mwen an,
14 and if my people, over whom my name has been invoked, being converted, will have petitioned me and sought my face, and will have done penance for their wicked ways, then I will heed them from heaven, and I will forgive their sins, and I will heal their land.
epi pèp Mwen ki rele pa non Mwen an vin imilye yo, priye, chache fas Mwen e vire kite abitid mechan yo; nan moman sa a, Mwen va tande yo soti nan syèl la. Mwen va padone peche pa yo, e Mwen va geri peyi yo.
15 Also, my eyes will be open, and my ears will be attentive, to the prayer of him who shall pray in this place.
Koulye a, zye M va louvri e zòrèy Mwen va vin atantif a lapriyè ki ofri nan plas sa a.
16 For I have chosen and sanctified this place, so that my name may be there continually, and so that my eyes and my heart may remain there, for all days.
Paske koulye a, Mwen gen tan chwazi e konsakre kay sila a pou non Mwen kapab la jis pou tout tan. Zye Mwen ak kè Mwen va la pou tout tan.
17 And as for you, if you will walk before me, just as your father David walked, and if you will act in accord with all that I have instructed you, and if you will observe my justices and judgments,
“Epi pou ou menm, si ou mache devan M tankou papa ou, David te mache a, fè selon tout sa ke Mwen te kòmande ou yo, e kenbe règleman Mwen yo avèk òdonans Mwen yo,
18 I will raise up the throne of your kingdom, just as I promised to your father David, saying: ‘There shall not be taken away a man from your stock who will be ruler in Israel.’
alò, Mwen va etabli twòn wayal ou a jan Mwen te sèmante a David la, lè M te di: ‘Ou p ap manke yon nonm ki pou gouvène an Israël.’
19 But if you will have turned away, and will have forsaken my justices and my precepts, which I have set before you, and going astray, you serve strange gods, and you adore them,
“Men si ou vire kite e abandone règleman Mwen yo, avèk kòmandman ke M te mete devan ou yo, pou ale sèvi lòt dye yo e adore yo,
20 I will uproot you from my land, which I gave to you, and from this house, which I sanctified to my name, and I will cast it away from before my face, and I will deliver it to be a parable and an example for all the peoples.
alò, Mwen va dechouke ou soti nan peyi ke M te ba ou a, ak kay sa a, ke Mwen te konsakre pou non pa Mwen an, Mwen va jete l andeyò vizaj Mwen, e Mwen va fè li yon pwovèb ak yon rizib pami tout pèp yo.
21 And this house will be like a proverb to all who pass by. And being astonished, they shall say: ‘Why has the Lord acted this way toward this land and toward this house?’
Epi pou kay sila a, ki egzalte tèlman wo, tout moun ki pase kote li va etone e va di: “Poukisa SENYÈ a te fè sa a peyi sila a, e a kay sila a?
22 And they shall respond: ‘Because they abandoned the Lord, the God of their fathers, who led them away from the land of Egypt, and they took hold of foreign gods, and they adored and worshipped them. Therefore, all these evils have overwhelmed them.’”
Epi konsa, yo va reponn: ‘Akoz yo te abandone SENYÈ a, Bondye a zansèt pa yo a, ki te mennen yo soti nan peyi Égypte la, pou yo te adopte lòt dye yo, e te adore yo e te sèvi yo. Se pou sa, Li te mennen tout mal sila a sou yo.’”
