1 Kings 8
1 Then all the ancients of Israel with the princes of the tribes, and the heads of the families of the children of Israel were assembled to king Solomon in Jerusalem: that they might carry the ark of the covenant of the Lord out of the city of David, that is, out of Sion.
Alò, Salomon te rasanble ansyen Israël yo avèk tout tèt a tribi yo, chèf a fanmi zansèt a fis Israël yo, kote Wa Salomon Jérusalem, pou mennen fè montelach akò SENYÈ a soti nan lavil David ki Sion an.
2 And all Israel assembled themselves to king Solomon on the festival day in the month of Ethanim, the same is the seventh month.
Tout mesye Israël yo te rasanble yo menm kote ak Wa Salomon nan fèt la nan mwa Éthanim nan, ki se setyèm mwa a.
3 And all the ancients of Israel came, and the priests took up the ark,
Tout ansyen Israël yo te vini, e prèt yo te leve pran lach la.
4 And carried the ark of the Lord, and the tabernacle of the covenant, and all the vessels of the sanctuary, that were in the tabernacle: and the priests and the Levites carried them.
Yo te mennen fè monte lach SENYÈ a, tant asanble a, avèk tout zouti sen ki te nan tant yo. Prèt yo avèk Levit yo te mennen fè yo monte.
5 And king Solomon, and all the multitude of Israel, that were assembled unto him went with him before the ark, and they sacrificed sheep and oxen that could not be counted or numbered.
Wa Salomon avèk tout kongregasyon Israël la, ki te rasanble vè li, te avèk li devan lach la. Yo t ap fè sakrifis a yon tèlman gran kantite mouton avèk bèf ke yo pa t kab konte ni kontwole.
6 And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the Lord into its place, into the oracle of the temple, into the holy of holies under the wings of the cherubims.
Prèt yo te mennen lach akò SENYÈ a nan plas li. Yo te mete l nan sanktyè enteryè a kay la, nan plas ki sen pase tout lòt yo a, anba zèl a cheriben yo.
7 For the cherubims spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and covered the art, and the staves thereof above.
Cheriben yo te lonje zèl pa yo anwo plas lach la e yo te sèvi kon yon kouvèti sou lach la avèk poto li yo soti anwo.
8 And whereas the staves stood out, the ends of them were seen without in the sanctuary before the oracle, but were not seen farther out, and there they have been unto this day.
Men poto yo te tèlman long ke pwent poto yo te vizib sèlman soti nan lye sen an devan sanktyè enteryè a. Men yo pa t kab wè pa deyò; epi yo la jis rive jodi a.
9 Now in the ark there was nothing else but the two tables of stone, which Moses put there at Horeb, when the Lord made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.
Pa t gen anyen nan lach la sof ke de tablo wòch ke Moïse te mete la nan Horeb yo, kote SENYÈ a te fè yon akò avèk fis Israël yo, lè yo te sòti nan peyi Égypte la.
10 And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the sanctuary, that a cloud filled the house of the Lord,
Li te fèt ke lè prèt yo te sòti nan lye sen an ke nwaj la te ranpli kay SENYÈ a,
11 And the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud: for the glory of the Lord had filled the house of the Lord.
jiskaske prèt yo pa t kab fè sèvis akoz nwaj la. Paske glwa SENYÈ a te ranpli kay SENYÈ a.
12 Then Solomon said: The Lord said that he would dwell in a cloud.
Alò, Salomon te di: “SENYÈ a te di ke Li ta abite nan nwaj pwès.
13 Building I have built a house for thy dwelling, to be thy most firm throne for ever.
Mwen te vrèman bati pou Ou yon kay byen wo, yon plas pou Ou ta abite jis pou tout tan.”
14 And the king turned his face, and blessed all the assembly of Israel: for all the assembly of Israel stood.
Konsa, wa a te vire tounen e te beni tout asanble Israël la pandan tout asanble Israël la te kanpe.
15 And Solomon said: Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth to David my father, and with his own hands hath accomplished it, saying:
Li te di: “Beni se SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la, ki te pale avèk bouch li a papa m David, e ki te akonpli sa avèk men l, e ki te di:
16 Since the day that I brought my people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel, for a house to be built, that my name might be there: but I chose David to be over my people Israel.
‘Depi jou ke M te fè pèp Mwen an, Israël, sòti an Égypte, Mwen pa t chwazi yon vil nan tout tribi Israël yo pou M ta bati yon kay pou non Mwen ta kapab la; men mwen te chwazi David pou renye sou pèp Mwen an, Israël.’
17 And David my father would have built a house to the name of the Lord the God of Israel:
“Alò, sa te nan kè papa m, David pou bati yon kay pou non SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la.
18 And the Lord said to David my father: Whereas thou hast thought in thy heart to build a house to my name, thou hast done well in having this same thing in thy mind.
Men SENYÈ a te di a papa m, David: ‘Akoz li te nan kè ou pou bati yon kay pou non Mwen, ou te fè byen, paske se te nan kè ou.
19 Nevertheless thou shalt not build me a house, but thy son, that shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build a house to my name.
Sepandan, ou p ap bati kay la, men fis ou ki va fèt a ou menm nan, li va bati kay la pou non Mwen.’
20 The Lord hath performed his word which he spoke: and I stand in the room of David my father, and sit upon the throne of Israel, as the Lord promised: and have built a house to the name of the Lord the God of Israel.
Alò, SENYÈ a te fin akonpli pawòl ke Li te pale a. Paske mwen te leve nan plas papa m, David. Mwen chita sou twòn Israël la, jan SENYÈ a te pwomèt la, e mwen te bati kay la pou non SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la.
21 And I have set there a place for the ark, wherein is the covenant of the Lord, which he made with our fathers, when they came out of the land of Egypt.
La mwen te poze yon plas pou lach la, nan sila akò a ke SENYÈ a te fè avèk zansèt nou yo lè Li te mennen yo soti nan peyi Égypte la.”
22 And Solomon stood before the altar of the Lord in the sight of the assembly of Israel, and spread forth his hands towards heaven;
Salomon te kanpe devan lotèl SENYÈ a nan prezans a tout asanble Israël la, e te lonje ouvri men li vè syèl la.
23 And said: Lord God of Israel, there is no God like thee in heaven above, or on earth beneath: who keepest covenant and mercy with thy servants that have walked before thee with all their heart.
Li te di: “O SENYÈ, Bondye Israël la, nanpwen Bondye tankou Ou nan syèl la anwo, ni sou latè anba, k ap kenbe akò e montre lanmou dous a sèvitè Ou yo ki mache devan Ou avèk tout kè yo,
24 Who hast kept with thy servant David my father what thou hast promised him: with thy mouth thou didst speak, and with thy hands thou hast performed, as this day proveth.
ki te kenbe avèk sèvitè Ou, papa m, David, sa ke Ou te pwomèt li a. Anverite Ou te pale avèk bouch Ou e Ou te akonpli li avèk men Ou, jan sa ye nan jou sila a.
25 Now therefore, O Lord God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father what thou hast spoken to him, saying: There shall not be taken away of thee a man in my sight, to sit on the throne of Israel: yet so that thy children take heed to their way, that they walk before me as thou hast walked in my sight.
Alò, pou sa, O SENYÈ, Bondye Israël la, kenbe avèk sèvitè Ou a, David, papa m, sa ke Ou te pwomèt li a lè Ou te di: ‘Ou p ap manke yon nonm pou chita sou twòn Israël la, si sèlman fis ou yo veye chemen yo, pou mache devan Mwen menm jan ke ou te mache a.’
26 And now, Lord God of Israel, let thy words be established, which thou hast spoken to thy servant David my father.
“Koulye a, pou sa, O Bondye Israël la, kite pawòl Ou, mwen priye, vin konfime ke Ou te pale a sèvitè Ou a, papa m, David.
27 Is it then to be thought that God should indeed dwell upon earth? for if heaven, and the heavens of heavens cannot contain thee, how much less this house which I have built?
Men èske Bondye, anverite, va rete sou latè? Gade byen, syèl la avèk syèl pi wo a p ap kab kenbe Ou; konbyen anplis kay sa a ke m te bati a!
28 But have regard to the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplications, O Lord my God: hear the hymn and the prayer, which thy servant prayeth before thee this day:
Sepandan, gade lapriyè sèvitè Ou a, avèk siplikasyon pa li, O SENYÈ, Bondye mwen, pou koute kri ak lapriyè ke sèvitè Ou a fè devan Ou jodi a;
29 That thy eyes may be open upon this house night and day: upon the house of which thou hast said: My name shall be there: that thou mayest hearken to the prayer, which thy servant prayeth in this place to thee.
pou zye Ou ta rete louvri vè kay sila a lajounen kon lannwit, vè plas kote Ou te di: ‘Non Mwen va rete la,’ pou koute lapriyè ke sèvitè ou a va fè vè plas sa a.
30 That thou mayest hearken to the supplication of thy servant and of thy people Israel, whatsoever they shall pray for in this place, and hear them in the place of thy dwelling in heaven; and when thou hearest, shew them mercy.
Koute siplikasyon a sèvitè Ou, e a pèp Ou a, Israël lè yo priye vè plas sila a. Koute nan syèl la, kote Ou abite a; e lè Ou koute, padone.
31 If any man trespass against his neighbour, and have an oath upon him, wherewith he is bound: and come because of the oath before thy altar to thy house,
“Si yon nonm peche kont vwazen li, e si li oblije fè yon ve, si li vin fè ve a devan lotèl Ou, nan kay sila a,
32 Then hear thou in heaven: and do, and judge thy servants, condemning the wicked, and bringing his way upon his own head, and justifying the just, and rewarding him according to his justice.
alò, tande nan syèl la e pran desizyon pou jije sèvitè Ou yo; kondane mechan an, fè chemen pa li a vin sou pwòp tèt li. Epi fè jistis vini sou sila ki dwat la, lè Ou ba li selon ladwati li.
33 If thy people Israel shall fly before their enemies, (because they will sin against thee, ) and doing penance, and confessing to thy name, shall come, and pray, and make supplications to thee in this house:
“Lè pèp Ou a, Israël fin bat devan yon lènmi, akoz yo te peche kont Ou, si yo vire vè Ou ankò pou konfese non Ou, priye e fè siplikasyon vè Ou nan kay sa a,
34 Then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them back to the land which thou gavest to their fathers.
alò, tande nan syèl la, e padone peche a pèp Ou a Israël, e mennen yo retounen nan peyi ke Ou te bay zansèt yo.
35 If heaven shall be shut up, and there shall be no rain, because of their sins, and they praying in this place, shall do penance to thy name, and shall be converted from their sins, by occasion of their afflictions:
“Lè syèl yo fèmen e nanpwen lapli, akoz yo te peche kont Ou, si yo priye vè plas sila a, konfese non Ou, e vire kite peche pa yo lè Ou aflije yo,
36 Then hear thou them in heaven, and forgive the sins of thy servants, and of thy people Israel: and shew them the good way wherein they should walk, and give rain upon thy land, which thou hast given to thy people in possession.
alò, tande nan syèl la e padone peche a sèvitè Ou yo, e a pèp Ou a, Israël. Anverite, enstwi yo nan bon chemen nan sila yo ta dwe mache a, e voye lapli sou peyi ke Ou te bay a pèp Ou a, ke Ou te bay yo a kòm eritaj la.
37 If a famine arise in the land, or a pestilence, or corrupt air, or blasting, or locust, or mildew, if their enemy afflict them besieging the gates, whatsoever plague, whatsoever infirmity,
“Si gen gwo grangou nan peyi a, si gen toumant, si gen gwo maladi sou jaden oswa bèt, oswa wouy, epidemi nan youn nan espès krikèt volan yo, si lènmi pa yo fè syèj sou yo nan peyi vil pa yo, nenpòt kalite toumant, nenpòt gwo maladi,
38 Whatsoever curse or imprecation shall happen to any man of thy people Israel: when a man shall know the wound of his own heart, and shall spread forth his hands in this house,
nenpòt lapriyè oswa siplikasyon ki fèt pa nenpòt moun, oswa pa tout pèp Israël yo, chak moun ki konnen afliksyon nan pwòp kè pa li, e ki leve men l ouvri vè kay sila a;
39 Then hear thou in heaven, in the place of thy dwelling, and forgive, and do so as to give to every one according to his ways, as thou shalt see his heart (for thou only knowest the heart of all the children of men)
alò, tande nan syèl la, kote Ou abite a, padone, aji e rann a chak moun selon tout chemen yo, kè a sila Ou konnen an, paske se Ou sèl ki konnen kè a tout fis a lòm yo;
40 That they may fear thee all the days that they live upon the face of the land, which thou hast given to our fathers.
pou yo kapab gen lakrent Ou tout jou ke yo viv nan peyi ke Ou te bay a zansèt nou yo.
41 Moreover also the stranger, who is not of thy people Israel, when he shall come out of a far country for thy name’s sake, (for they shall hear everywhere of thy great name and thy mighty hand,
“Anplis, konsènan etranje ki pa apatyen a pèp Israël Ou a, lè li sòti nan yon peyi lwen pou koz non Ou,
42 And thy stretched out arm, ) so when he shall come, and shall pray in this place,
(paske yo va tande afè gran non Ou, ak men pwisan Ou, ak bra louvri Ou), pou lè l vini fè lapriyè vè kay sila a,
43 Then hear thou in heaven, in the firmament of thy dwelling place, and do all those things, for which that stranger shall call upon thee: that all the people of the earth may learn to fear thy name, as do thy people Israel, and may prove that thy name is called upon on this house, which I have built.
tande nan syèl la, kote ou abite a e fè tout sa ke etranje a mande Ou fè, jis pou tout pèp sou tout latè yo kapab konnen non Ou, pou gen lakrent Ou, tankou pèp Ou a Israël, pou yo kapab konnen ke kay sila a, mwen te bati a, rele pa non pa Ou.
44 If thy people go out to war against their enemies, by what way soever thou shalt send them, they shall pray to thee towards the way of the city, which thou hast chosen, and towards the house, which I have built to thy name:
“Lè pèp Ou a sòti nan batay kont lènmi yo, nan nenpòt chemen Ou ta voye yo, e yo priye a SENYÈ nan direksyon vil ke Ou te chwazi a, ak kay ke mwen te bati pou non Ou a,
45 And then hear thou in heaven their prayers, and their supplications, and do judgment for them.
alò, tande nan syèl la lapriyè yo, ak siplikasyon yo, e bay soutyen a ka pa yo.
46 But if they sin against thee (for there is no man who sinneth not) and thou being angry deliver them up to their enemies, so that they be led away captives into the land of their enemies far or near;
Lè yo peche kont Ou (pwiske nanpwen moun ki pa peche), Ou vin fache avèk yo, e Ou livre yo bay lènmi an pou fè yo sòti kaptif nan peyi a lènmi an, kit lwen, kit pre;
47 Then if they do penance in their heart in the place of captivity, and being converted make supplication to thee in their captivity, saying: We have sinned, we have done unjustly, we have committed wickedness:
si yo vin reflechi nan peyi kote yo te mennen kaptif la, yo vin repanti, e fè siplikasyon a Ou menm nan peyi a sila ki te pran yo kaptif la, e di: ‘Nou te peche e te fè inikite, nou te aji mal;’
48 And return to thee with all their heart, and all their soul, in the land of their enemies, to which they had been led captives: and pray to thee towards the way of their land, which thou gavest to their fathers, and of the city which thou hast chosen, and of the temple which I have built to thy name:
si yo retounen a Ou menm avèk tout kè yo e avèk tout nanm yo nan peyi a lènmi ki te mennen yo kaptif yo, yo priye a Ou menm, vè peyi ke Ou te bay a zansèt yo, vil ke Ou te chwazi a, ak kay ke mwen te bati pou non Ou an;
49 Then hear thou in heaven, in the firmament of thy throne, their prayers, and their supplications, and do judgment for them:
alò, tande priyè yo, avèk siplikasyon yo, nan syèl la, plas kote Ou rete a e bay soutyen a koz pa yo,
50 And forgive thy people, that have sinned against thee, and all their iniquities, by which they have transgressed against thee: and give them mercy before them that have made them captives, that they may have compassion on them.
epi padone pèp Ou a ki te peche kont Ou an ak tout transgresyon ke yo te fè kont Ou yo, e bay yo mizerikòd devan sila ki te fè yo kaptif yo, pou yo gen konpasyon pou yo.
51 For they are thy people, and thy inheritance, whom thou hast brought out of the land of Egypt, from the midst of the furnace of iron.
(Pwiske se pèp Ou yo ye, e eritaj ke Ou te mennen sòti an Égypte la, ki te soti nan mitan founo fè a).
52 That thy eyes may be open to the supplication of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, to hear them in all things for which they shall call upon thee.
Pou zye Ou kapab louvri a siplikasyon a sèvitè Ou, e a siplikasyon a pèp Ou a, Israël, pou koute yo nenpòt lè ke yo rele Ou.
53 For thou hast separated them to thyself for an inheritance from among all the people of the earth, as thou hast spoken by Moses thy servant, when thou broughtest our fathers out of Egypt, O Lord God.
Paske Ou te mete yo apa de tout lòt pèp sou latè kòm eritaj Ou, jan Ou te pale pa Moïse, sèvitè Ou a, pandan Ou te mennen zansèt pa nou yo sòti an Égypte, O Senyè, BONDYE.”
54 And it came to pass, when Solomon had made an end of praying all this prayer and supplication to the Lord, that he rose from before the altar of the Lord: for he had fixed both knees on the ground, and had spread his hands towards heaven.
Lè Salomon te fin priye tout priyè sila a, li te leve soti devan lotèl a SENYÈ a, soti sou jenou li avèk men li louvri anvè syèl la.
55 And he stood and blessed all the assembly of Israel with a, loud voice, saying:
Li te kanpe e te beni tout asanble Israël la avèk yon gwo vwa. Li te di:
56 Blessed be the Lord, who hath given rest to his people Israel, according to all that he promised: there hath not failed so much as one word of all the good things that he promised by his servant Moses.
“Beni se SENYÈ a ki te bay repo a pèp Li a, Israël, selon tout sa ke Li te pwomèt yo. Pa menm yon mo pa t fè fayit nan tout bonte ke Li te pwomèt nou pa Moïse yo, sèvitè li a.
57 The Lord our God be with us, as he was with our fathers, and not leave us, nor cast us off:
Ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, kapab avèk nou, jan Li te ye avèk zansèt nou yo. Ke Li pa janm kite nou ni abandone nou,
58 But may he incline our hearts to himself, that we may walk in all his ways, and keep his commandments, and his ceremonies, and all his judgments which he commanded our fathers.
pou Li kapab atire kè nou vè Li menm, pou mache nan tout vwa Li yo e pou kenbe kòmandman Li yo avèk règleman Li yo avèk òdonans Li yo, ke Li te kòmande a zansèt nou yo.
59 And let these my words, wherewith I have prayed before the Lord, he nigh unto the Lord our God day and night, that he may do judgment for his servant, and for his people Israel day by day:
Epi ke pawòl pa m sa yo, avèk sila mwen te fè siplikasyon devan SENYÈ a, kapab toupre SENYÈ a, Bondye pa nou an, lajounen kon lannwit, pou Li kapab bay soutyen a koz pèp Li a, Israël, jan chak jou mande a,
60 That all the people of the earth may know, that the Lord he is God, and there is no other besides him.
pou tout pèp sou latè yo kapab konnen ke SENYÈ a se Bondye; ke nanpwen okenn lòt.
61 Let our hearts also be perfect with the Lord our God, that we may walk in his statutes, and keep his commandments, as at this day.
“Pou sa, kite kè nou vin dedye nèt a SENYÈ a, pou mache nan règleman Li yo, kenbe kòmandman Li, menm jan sa ye nan jou sila a.”
62 And the king, and all Israel him, offered victims before the Lord.
Alò, wa a ak tout Israël avèk li te ofri sakrifis yo devan SENYÈ a.
63 And Solomon slew victims of peace offerings, which he sacrificed to the Lord, two and twenty thousand oxen, and hundred and twenty thousand sheep: so the king, and the children of Israel dedicated the temple of the Lord.
Salomon te ofri kòm ofrann lapè ke Li te lofri SENYÈ a, venn-de-mil bèf avèk san-ven-mil mouton. Konsa wa a, avèk tout fis Israël yo te dedye kay SENYÈ a.
64 In that day the king sanctified the middle of the court that was before the house of the Lord: for there he offered the holocaust, and sacrifice, and fat of the peace offerings: because the brazen altar that was before the Lord, was too little to receive the holocaust, and sacrifice, and fat of the peace offerings.
Nan menm jou sa a, wa a te konsakre lakou mitan ki te devan kay SENYÈ a, akoz se la li te ofri ofrann brile avèk ofrann sereyal yo, e grès a ofrann lapè yo. Paske lotèl bwonz ki te devan SENYÈ a te twò piti pou kenbe ofrann brile avèk ofrann sereyal yo, avèk grès a ofrann lapè yo.
65 And Solomon made at the same time a solemn feast, and all Israel with him, a great multitude from the entrance of Emath to the river of Egypt, before the Lord our God, seven days and seven days, that is, fourteen days.
Konsa, Salomon te obsève fèt la nan lè sa a, e tout Israël avèk li, yon gran asanble soti nan antre Hamath jis rive nan ti kouran dlo Égypte la, devan SENYÈ a Bondye nou an, pandan sèt jou e avèk sèt jou anplis, katòz jou nèt.
66 And on the eighth day he sent away the people: and they blessed the king, and went to their dwellings rejoicing, and glad in heart for all the good things that the Lord had done for David his servant, and for Israel his people.
Nan uityèm jou a, li te voye pèp la ale, e yo te beni wa a. Epi yo te ale nan tant pa yo ranpli avèk jwa, kontan nan kè pou tout bonte ke SENYÈ a te montre a David, sèvitè li, e a Israël, pèp Li a.
