2 Chronicles 6
1 Then Salomon sayd, The Lord hath sayde that he would dwell in the darke cloude:
Lè sa a, Salomon di konsa: -Seyè, ou di ou pito viv kote ki fè nwa.
2 And I haue built thee an house to dwell in, an habitation for thee to dwell in for euer.
Koulye a, mwen bati yon tanp pou ou ka rete, yon kay kote ou pral viv pou tout tan.
3 And the King turned his face, and blessed all the Congregation of Israel (for all the Congregation of Israel stoode there)
Lèfini, wa a vire, li bay pèp Izrayèl la fas. Tout pèp la te kanpe. Li mande benediksyon Bondye pou pèp la,
4 And he said, Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, who spake with his mouth vnto Dauid my father, and hath with his hand fulfilled it, saying,
li di: -Lwanj pou Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la! Avèk fòs kouraj li, li kenbe pwomès li te fè David, papa m' lan, lè li te di l' konsa:
5 Since the day that I brought my people out of the land of Egypt, I chose no citie of al the tribes of Israel to buylde an house, that my Name might be there, neyther chose I any man to be a ruler ouer my people Israel:
Depi jou mwen te fè pèp mwen an soti kite peyi Lejip, mwen pa janm chwazi yon lavil nan tout peyi pèp Izrayèl la pou yo bati yon tanp ladan l' pou mwen rete, ni mwen pa t' chwazi pesonn pou gouvènen pèp mwen an, pèp Izrayèl la.
6 But I haue chosen Ierusalem, that my Name might be there, and haue chosen Dauid to be ouer my people Israel.
Men koulye a, mwen chwazi lavil Jerizalèm pou se la yo fè sèvis pou mwen, lèfini mwen chwazi David pou li gouvènen pèp mwen an.
7 And it was in the heart of Dauid my father to builde an house vnto the Name of the Lord God of Israel,
David, papa m', te fè lide bati yon tanp pou Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la,
8 But the Lord sayde to Dauid my father, Whereas it was in thine heart to buylde an house vnto my Name, thou diddest well, that thou wast so minded.
Men, Seyè a te di l': Ou byen fèt gen lide bati yon kay pou mwen.
9 Notwithstanding thou shalt not build the house, but thy sonne which shall come out of thy loynes, he shall buylde an house vnto my Name.
Men, se pa ou ki va bati l'. Se pwòp pitit gason w'ap fè a ki va bati tanp lan pou mwen.
10 And the Lord hath performed his worde that he spake: and I am risen vp in the roume of Dauid my father, and am set on the throne of Israel as the Lord promised, and haue built an house to the Name of the Lord God of Israel.
Koulye a, Seyè a kenbe pwomès li. Jan li te di l' la, se mwen menm ki nan plas David, papa m'. Mwen chita sou fotèy wa Izrayèl la. Mwen bati yon tanp pou Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la.
11 And I haue set the Arke there, wherein is the couenant of the Lord, that he made with the children of Israel.
Lèfini, mwen fè yon plas ladan l' pou Bwat Kontra Seyè a, kontra li te pase ak moun pèp Izrayèl yo.
12 And the King stoode before the altar of the Lord, in the presence of all the Congregation of Israel, and stretched out his hands,
Apre sa, Salomon al kanpe devan lotèl Seyè a, devan tout pèp Izrayèl la, li leve de men l' anlè pou l' lapriyè.
13 (For Salomon had made a brasen skaffold and set it in the middes of the court, of fiue cubites long, and fiue cubites broade, and three cubites of height, and vpon it he stoode, and kneeled downe vpon his knees before all the Congregation of Israel, and stretched out his hands toward heauen)
Salomon te fè fè yon platfòm an kwiv. Li fè yo mete l' nan mitan lakou a. Platfòm lan te kare kare, wit pye longè, wit pye lajè ak senk pye wotè. Li moute sou li, li mete ajenou devan tout pèp Izrayèl la. Li leve de men l' anlè,
14 And sayd, O Lord God of Israel, there is no God like thee in heauen nor in earth, which keepest couenant, and mercie vnto thy seruants, that walke before thee with all their heart.
epi li di: -Seyè, ou menm ki Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, pa gen Bondye tankou ou ni nan syèl ni sou latè. Ou kenbe kontra ou te siyen ak pèp ou a. Ou moutre jan ou renmen moun k'ap sèvi ou ak tout kè yo.
15 Thou that hast kept with thy seruant Dauid my father, that thou hast promised him: for thou spakest with thy mouth, and hast fulfilled it with thine hand, as appeareth this day.
Ou te kenbe pwomès ou te fè David, papa m', sèvitè ou la. Tou sa ou te di w'ap fè, ou fè l' rive vre jòdi a ak fòs ponyèt ou.
16 Therefore now Lord God of Israel, keepe with thy seruant Dauid my father, that thou hast promised him, saying, Thou shalt not want a man in my sight, that shall sit vpon the throne of Israel: so that thy sonnes take heede to their wayes, to walke in my Lawe, as thou hast walked before me.
Se poutèt sa, Seyè, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, m'ap mande ou pou ou kenbe lòt pwomès ou te fè David, papa m', sèvitè ou la, lè ou te di l' va toujou gen yonn nan pitit li yo pou gouvènen pèp Izrayèl la, depi yo veye jan y'ap mache pou yo mennen bak yo devan ou jan li menm li te fè l' la.
17 And now, O Lord God of Israel, let thy worde be verified, which thou spakest vnto thy seruant Dauid.
Se konsa, Seyè, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, fè tout bagay rive jan ou te fè pwomès la bay David, sèvitè ou la.
18 (Is it true in deede that God will dwell with man on earth? beholde, the heauens, and the heauens of heauens are not able to conteine thee: how much more vnable is this house, which I haue buylt?)
Men, Bondye, èske ou ka rete tout bon sou latè ak moun? Ata syèl la pa laj ase pou l' kenbe ou! Ale wè pou ti kay mwen bati pou ou la a!
19 But haue thou respect to the prayer of thy seruant, and to his supplication, O Lord my God, to heare the crye and prayer which thy seruant prayeth before thee,
Seyè, Bondye m', tanpri, se sèvitè ou mwen ye! Tanpri, tande jan m'ap lapriyè nan pye ou. Koute jan m'ap rele nan zòrèy ou jòdi a. Tande jan m'ap rele, jan m'ap lapriyè nan pye ou.
20 That thine eyes may be open toward this house day and night, euen toward the place, whereof thou hast sayde, that thou wouldest put thy Name there, that thou mayest hearken vnto the prayer, which thy seruant prayeth in this place.
Lajounen kou lannwit, voye je ou sou tanp lan, tanp kote ou te di w'ap toujou la a. Koute lapriyè mwen menm, sèvitè ou la, m'ap fè nan pye ou.
21 Heare thou therefore the supplication of thy seruant, and of thy people Israel, which they pray in this place: and heare thou in the place of thine habitation, euen in heauen, and when thou hearest, be mercifull.
Wi, koute lapriyè m'ap fè ak lapriyè pèp Izrayèl ou a ap fè nan pye ou isit la. Nan syèl kote ou rete a, koute lapriyè nou, padonnen nou.
22 When a man shall sinne against his neighbour, and he laye vpon him an othe to cause him to sweare, and the swearer shall come before thine altar in this house,
Lè y'a pote plent pou yon moun ki fè frè l' yon bagay mal, si yo mande l' pou l' fè sèman se pa vre, epi li vin fè sèman an devan lotèl ou a, nan tanp sa a,
23 Then heare thou in heauen, and doe, and iudge thy seruants, in recompensing the wicked to bring his way vpon his head, and in iustifying the righteous, to giue him according to his righteousnes.
ou menm, Seyè ki nan syèl la, w'a tande, w'a fè sa ki gen pou fèt la. W'a jije sèvitè ou yo. W'a pini moun ki koupab la, w'a fè chatiman li merite a tonbe sou tèt li. W'a fè rekonèt lè yon moun inonsan pou yo ka rann li jistis.
24 And when thy people Israel shalbe ouerthrowen before the enemie, because they haue sinned against thee, and turne againe, and confesse thy Name, and pray, and make supplication before thee in this house,
Lè lènmi va bat pèp Izrayèl la paske pèp la te peche kont ou, si yo tounen vin jwenn ou, si yo fè lwanj pou ou, si yo vin lapriyè nan pye ou isit la nan kay sa a,
25 Then heare thou in heauen, and be mercifull vnto the sinne of thy people Israel, and bring them againe vnto the land which thou gauest to them and to their fathers.
tanpri, kote ou ye nan syèl la, koute yo. Padonnen peche pèp Izrayèl ou a, fè yo tounen nan peyi ou te ba yo ansanm ak zansèt yo a.
26 When heauen shall be shut vp, and there shalbe no rayne, because they haue sinned against thee, and shall pray in this place, and confesse thy Name, and turne from their sinne, when thou doest afflict them,
Lè va gen chechrès nan peyi a san yon ti degout lapli, paske pèp la te peche kont ou, si yo règrèt sa yo te fè a paske ou te pini yo, si yo vin lapriyè isit la, si yo fè lwanj ou,
27 Then heare thou in heauen, and pardon the sinne of thy seruants, and of thy people Israel (when thou hast taught them the good way wherein they may walke) and giue rayne vpon thy lande, which thou hast giuen vnto thy people for an inheritance.
tanpri, kote ou ye nan syèl la, koute yo. Padonnen peche sèvitè ou yo ak peche moun pèp Izrayèl ou yo. Moutre yo bon chemen pou yo pran an. Apre sa, Seyè, w'a voye lapli sou peyi ou te bay pèp ou a pou l' rele l' pa l' la.
28 When there shalbe famine in the land, when there shalbe pestilence, blasting, or mildew, when there shall be grashopper, or caterpiller, when their enemie shall besiege them in the cities of their land, or any plague or any sickenesse,
Lè va gen grangou nan peyi a, osinon lè move maladi lapès va tonbe sou li, lè plant yo va cheche nan van cho, lè krikèt ak chwal bondye va ravaje jaden yo, lè lènmi va sènen lavil nou yo pou atake pèp la, lè nenpòt maladi osinon nenpòt malè va tonbe sou pèp la,
29 Then what prayer and supplication so euer shalbe made of any man, or of all thy people Israel, whe euery one shall knowe his owne plague, and his owne disease, and shall stretch forth his hands toward this house,
koute lapriyè y'ap fè nan pye ou. Lè nenpòt moun osinon tout pèp la va lapriyè nan pye ou, lè y'a règrèt sa yo fè a, lè y'a leve men yo nan direksyon tanp lan pou yo lapriyè ou,
30 Heare thou then in heauen, thy dwelling place, and be merciful, and giue euery man according vnto all his wayes, as thou doest knowe his heart (for thou onely knowest the hearts of the children of men)
tanpri, kote ou ye nan syèl kote ou rete a, koute lapriyè yo, padonnen yo. Bay chak moun sa yo merite, paske ou konnen sa ki nan kè yo. Se ou menm ki konnen sa ki nan fon kè moun.
31 That they may feare thee, and walke in thy wayes as long as they liue in the land which thou gauest vnto our fathers.
Wi, w'a bay chak moun sa yo merite, konsa pèp ou a va gen krentif pou ou, y'a mache nan chemen ou mete devan yo, pandan tout tan y'ap viv sou tè ou te bay zansèt nou yo.
32 Moreouer, as touching ye stranger which is not of thy people Israel, who shall come out of a farre countrey for thy great Names sake, and thy mighty hande, and thy stretched out arme: when they shall come and pray in this house,
Menm lè yon moun lòt nasyon ki pa fè pati pèp ou a soti byen lwen vini poutèt ou, paske li tande jan n'ap nonmen non ou, li tande pale tout bèl bagay w'ap fè avèk fòs kouraj ou, si li vin lapriyè nan tanp sa a,
33 Heare thou in heauen thy dwelling place, and doe according to all that the stranger calleth for vnto thee, that all the people of the earth may knowe thy Name, and feare thee like thy people Israel, and that they may knowe, that thy Name is called vpon in this house which I haue built.
tanpri, nan syèl kote ou rete a, koute lapriyè li. W'a fè pou li tou sa li mande ou. Konsa, tout pèp sou latè va konnen ou. Y'a gen krentif pou ou tankou pèp Izrayèl ou a gen krentif pou ou. Y'a konnen tanp mwen bati pou ou a, se la pou yo vin adore ou.
34 When thy people shall goe out to battell against their enemies, by the way that thou shalt send them, and they pray to thee, in the way towarde this citie, which thou hast chosen, euen toward the house which I haue built to thy Name,
Lè pèp ou a va soti al goumen kont lènmi l' yo, nenpòt ki bò w'a voye yo, lè y'a vire tèt yo nan direksyon lavil ou chwazi a ak nan direksyon Tanp mwen bati pou ou a pou yo lapriyè nan pye ou,
35 Then heare thou in heauen their prayer and their supplication, and iudge their cause.
tanpri, nan syèl kote ou rete a, koute lapriyè yo. Koute lapriyè y'ap fè nan pye ou, defann kòz yo.
36 If they sinne against thee (for there is no man that sinneth not) and thou be angry with them and deliuer them vnto the enemies, and they take them and cary them away captiue vnto a land farre or neere,
Lè pèp ou a va peche kont ou, paske pa gen moun ki pa fè peche, lè w'a move sou yo, lè w'a lage yo nan men lènmi yo ki va fè yo prizonye, ki va depòte yo nan lòt peyi, li te mèt toupre, li te mèt byen lwen,
37 If they turne againe to their heart in the lande whither they be caryed in captiues, and turne and pray vnto thee in the lande of their captiuitie, saying, We haue sinned, we haue transgressed and haue done wickedly,
antan yo la nan peyi kote lènmi yo te depòte yo a, si yo règrèt sa yo te fè, si yo lapriyè nan pye ou, si yo rekonèt yo te fè sa ki mal, si yo rekonèt yo te peche, si yo rekonèt yo antò,
38 If they turne againe to thee with all their heart, and with all their soule in the land of their captiuitie, whither they haue caryed them captiues, and pray toward their land, which thou gauest vnto their fathers, and toward the citie which thou hast chosen, and toward the house which I haue built for thy Name,
si yo tounen vin jwenn ou ak tout kè yo ak tout nanm yo, antan yo nan peyi kote lènmi te depòte yo a, si yo vire tèt yo nan direksyon peyi ou te bay zansèt yo a, nan direksyon lavil ou te chwazi a, nan direksyon Tanp mwen bati pou ou a, pou yo lapriyè ou,
39 Then heare thou in heauen, in the place of thine habitation their prayer and their supplication, and iudge their cause, and be mercifull vnto thy people, which haue sinned against thee.
tanpri, koute lapriyè y'ap fè nan pye ou, kote ou ye nan syèl kote ou rete a. Koute lapriyè yo, defann kòz yo. Padonnen pèp ou a tout peche yo te fè kont ou yo.
40 Nowe my God, I beseech thee, let thine eyes be open, and thine eares attent vnto the prayer that is made in this place.
Koulye a, Bondye mwen, louvri je ou, koute lapriyè n'ap fè nan pye ou isit la.
41 Nowe therefore arise, O Lord God, to come into thy rest, thou, and the Arke of thy strength: O Lord God, let thy Priestes be clothed with saluation, and let thy Saints reioyce in goodnesse.
Koulye a, leve non, Seyè, Bondye! Vin kote pou ou pran repo a! Vini non ansanm ak Bwat Kontra ou la ki fè wè jan ou gen pouvwa. Se pou prèt yo fè konnen jan ou bay pèp ou a delivrans! Se pou tout pèp ou a rele tèlman yo kontan!
42 O Lord God, refuse not the face of thine anoynted: remember the mercies promised to Dauid thy seruant.
Poutèt pwomès ou te fè David, sèvitè ou la, tanpri, Seyè, pa vire do bay moun ou te chwazi a!
