1 Chronicles 17
1 And it came to pass, when David dwelt in his house, that David said to Nathan the prophet: 'Lo, I dwell in a house of cedar, but the ark of the covenant of the LORD dwelleth under curtains.'
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 And Nathan said unto David: 'Do all that is in thy 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 it came to pass the same night, that the word of God came to Nathan, saying:
Men, menm jou lannwit sa a, Bondye pale ak Natan. Li di l' konsa:
4 'Go and tell David My servant: Thus saith the LORD: Thou shalt not build Me a 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 have not dwelt in a house since the day that I brought up Israel, unto this day; but have gone from tent to tent, and from one tabernacle to another.
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 In all places wherein I have walked among all Israel, spoke I a word with any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to feed My people, saying: Why have ye not built Me a house of cedar?
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 Now therefore thus shalt thou say unto My servant David: Thus saith the LORD of hosts: I took thee from the sheepcote, from following the sheep, that thou shouldest be prince over 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 have been with thee whithersoever thou wentest, and have cut off all thine enemies from before thee; and I will make thee a name, like unto the name of the great ones 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 And I will appoint a place for My people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in their own place, and be disquieted no more; neither shall the children of wickedness waste them any more, as at the first,
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 even from the day that I commanded judges to be over My people Israel; and I will subdue all thine enemies. Moreover I tell thee that the LORD will build thee a 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 it shall come to pass, when thy days are fulfilled that thou must go to be with thy fathers, that I will set up thy seed after thee, who shall be of thy sons; and I will establish his kingdom.
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 build Me a house, and I will establish his throne for ever.
Se li menm ki va bati yon tanp pou mwen, m'ap fè gouvènman l' lan kanpe fèm pou tout tan.
13 I will be to him for a father, and he shall be to Me for a son; and I will not take My mercy away from him, as I took 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 will settle him in My house and in My kingdom for ever; and his throne shall be established for ever.'
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 words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak unto David.
Natan rakonte David tou sa Bondye te fè l' konnen nan vizyon an.
16 Then David the king went in, and sat before the LORD; and he said: 'Who am I, O LORD God, and what is my house, that Thou hast brought me thus far?
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 And this was a small thing in Thine eyes, O God; but Thou hast spoken of Thy servant's house for a great while to come, and hast regarded me after the manner of a man of high 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 David say yet more unto Thee concerning the honour which is done to Thy servant? for Thou knowest Thy servant.
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 servant's sake, and according to Thine own heart, hast Thou wrought all this greatness, to make known all these great things.
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 O LORD, there is none like Thee, neither is there any God beside Thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
Seyè, Bondye mwen, pa gen tankou ou. Pa gen lòt Bondye pase ou menm! Yo te toujou di nou sa.
21 And who is like Thy people Israel, a nation one in the earth, whom God went to redeem unto Himself for a people, to make Thee a name by great and tremendous things, in driving out nations from before Thy people, whom Thou didst redeem 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 Thy people Israel didst Thou make Thine own people for ever; and Thou, LORD, becamest their God.
Ou fè pèp Izrayèl la tounen pèp pa ou pou tout tan, ou menm ou tounen Bondye yo.
23 And now, O LORD, let the word that Thou hast spoken concerning Thy servant, and concerning his house, be established for ever, and do as Thou hast spoken.
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 Yea, let it be established, and let Thy name be magnified for ever, that it may be said: The LORD of hosts is the God of Israel, even a God to Israel; and the house of David Thy servant shall be established 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 revealed to Thy servant that Thou wilt build him a house; therefore hath Thy servant taken heart 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 And now, O LORD, Thou alone art God, and hast promised this good thing unto Thy servant;
Koulye a, Seyè, se ou ki Bondye, se ou ki pwomèt sèvitè ou la bèl bagay sa yo.
27 and now it hath pleased Thee to bless the house of Thy servant, that it may continue for ever before Thee; for Thou, O LORD, hast blessed, and so let Thy servant be blessed for ever.'
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.
