< 1 Chronicles 17 >
1 Nowe afterward when Dauid dwelt in his house, he saide to Nathan the Prophet, Beholde, I dwell in an house of cedar trees, but the Arke of the Lordes couenant remaineth vnder curtaines.
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 Then Nathan said to Dauid, Do all that is in thine heart: for God is with thee.
Natan reponn li: -Tou sa ou gen lide fè, ou mèt fè l' paske Seyè a kanpe la avèk ou.
3 And the same night euen the word of God came to Nathan, saying,
Men, menm jou lannwit sa a, Bondye pale ak Natan. Li di l' konsa:
4 Goe, and tell Dauid my seruant, Thus saith the Lord, Thou shalt not buylde me an house to dwell in:
-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 haue dwelt in no house, since the day that I brought out the childre of Israel vnto this daye, but I haue bene from tent to tent, and from habitation to habitation.
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 Wheresoeuer I haue walked with all Israel spake I one word to any of the iudges of Israel (whome I commanded to feede my people) saying, Why haue ye not built mee an house of cedar trees?
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 Nowe therefore thus shalt thou say vnto my seruant Dauid, Thus saith the Lord of hostes, I tooke thee from the sheepecoat and from following the sheepe, that thou shouldest bee a prince ouer 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 And I haue bene with thee whithersoeuer thou hast walked, and haue destroyed all thine enemies out of thy sight, and haue made thee a name, like the name of the great men that are in the earth.
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 (Also I will appoynt a place for my people Israel, and will plant it, that they may dwell in their place, and moue no more: neither shall the wicked people vexe them any more, as 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 since the time that I commanded iudges ouer my people Israel) And I wil subdue all thine enemies: therefore I say vnto thee, that the Lord wil buylde thee an house.
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 thy dayes shalbe fulfilled to go with thy fathers, then will I rayse vp thy seede after thee, which shalbe of thy sonnes, and will stablish his kingdome.
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 shall builde me an house, and I will stablish his throne for euer.
Se li menm ki va bati yon tanp pou mwen, m'ap fè gouvènman l' lan kanpe fèm pou tout tan.
13 I wil be his father, and he shalbe my sonne, aud I will not take my mercie away from him, as I tooke it from him that was before thee.
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 wil establish him in mine house, and in my kingdome for euer, and his throne shalbe stablished for euer,
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 According to all these wordes, and according to al this vision. So Nathan spake to Dauid.
Natan rakonte David tou sa Bondye te fè l' konnen nan vizyon an.
16 And Dauid the King went in and sate before the Lord and said, Who am I, O Lord God, and what is mine house, that thou hast brought me hitherto?
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 Yet thou esteeming this a small thing, O God, hast also spoken concerning the house of thy seruaut for a great while, and hast regarded me according to the estate of a man of hie degree, 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 can Dauid desire more of thee for the honour of thy seruant? for thou knowest thy seruant.
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 thy seruantes sake, euen according to thine heart hast thou done all this great thing to declare all magnificence.
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 Lord, there is none like thee, neither is there any God besides thee, according to all that we haue heard with our eares.
Seyè, Bondye mwen, pa gen tankou ou. Pa gen lòt Bondye pase ou menm! Yo te toujou di nou sa.
21 Moreouer what one nation in the earth is like thy people Israel, whose God went to redeeme them to be his people, and to make thy selfe a Name, and to doe great and terrible things by casting out nations from before thy people, whom thou hast deliuered out of 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 thou hast ordeined thy people Israel to be thine owne people for euer, and thou Lord art become their God.
Ou fè pèp Izrayèl la tounen pèp pa ou pou tout tan, ou menm ou tounen Bondye yo.
23 Therefore nowe Lord, let the thing that thou hast spoken concerning thy seruant and concerning his house, be confirmed for euer, and doe as thou hast sayd,
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 And let thy name be stable and magnified for euer, that it may be sayd, The Lord of hostes, God of Israel, is the God of Israel, and let the house of Dauid thy seruant bee stablished before thee.
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 thou, O my God, hast reueiled vnto the eare of thy seruant, that thou wilt builde him an house: therefore thy seruant hath bene bolde to pray before thee.
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 Therefore nowe Lord (for thou art God, and hast spoken this goodnesse vnto thy seruant)
Koulye a, Seyè, se ou ki Bondye, se ou ki pwomèt sèvitè ou la bèl bagay sa yo.
27 Now therfore, it hath pleased thee to blesse the house of thy seruant, that it may bee before thee for euer: for thou, O Lord, hast blessed it, and it shalbe blessed for euer.
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.
