< 2 Samuel 7 >
1 And it came to pass, when the king dwelt in his house, and the LORD had given him rest from all his enemies round about,
Alò, li te vin rive ke pandan wa a te rete lakay li a, e SENYÈ a te ba li repo tout kote sou lènmi li yo,
2 that the king said unto Nathan the prophet: 'See now, I dwell in a house of cedar, but the ark of God dwelleth within curtains.'
ke wa a te vin di a Nathan, pwofèt la: “Gade koulye a, Mwen menm rete nan yon kay ki fèt ak bwa sèd; men lach Bondye a rete anndan yon tant ki fèt ak rido.”
3 And Nathan said to the king: 'Go, do all that is in thy heart; for the LORD is with thee.'
Nathan te di a wa a: “Ale, fè tout sa ki nan tèt ou, paske SENYÈ a avèk ou.”
4 And it came to pass the same night, that the word of the LORD came unto Nathan, saying:
Men nan menm nwit lan, pawòl SENYÈ a te vini a Nathan e te di:
5 'Go and tell My servant David: Thus saith the LORD: Shalt thou build Me a house for Me to dwell in?
“Ale e pale a sèvitè Mwen an, David: ‘Se konsa SENYÈ a pale, “Èske se ou menm ki ta dwe bati yon kay pou Mwen ta vin rete ladann?
6 for I have not dwelt in a house since the day that I brought up the children of Israel out of Egypt, even to this day, but have walked in a tent and in a tabernacle.
Paske Mwen pa t rete nan yon kay depi jou ke M te mennen fè sòti fis Israël yo an Égypte, jis rive jodi a. Men Mwen te konn deplase patou nan yon tant, menm yon tabènak.
7 In all places wherein I have walked among all the children of Israel, spoke I a word with any of the tribes of Israel, whom I commanded to feed My people Israel, saying: Why have ye not built Me a house of cedar?
Nenpòt kote ke M te ale avèk tout fis Israël yo, èske M te pale yon sèl pawòl avèk youn nan tribi a Israël yo, ke M te kòmande pou fè bèje a pèp Mwen an, Israël, pou di: ‘Poukisa ou pa t bati pou Mwen yon kay ki fèt an sèd?’
8 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, over Israel.
Alò pou sa, konsa ou va di a sèvitè Mwen an, David: ‘Konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo; Mwen te pran ou soti nan patiraj la, soti nan swiv mouton, pou devni yon chèf sou pèp Mwen an, Israël.
9 And I have been with thee whithersoever thou didst go, and have cut off all thine enemies from before thee; and I will make thee a great name, like unto the name of the great ones that are in the earth.
Mwen te toujou avèk ou nenpòt kote ou te ale, e Mwen te retire lènmi ou yo soti devan ou. Konsa, Mwen va fè de ou yon gwo non, tankou non a gwo moun ki sou latè yo.
10 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 afflict them any more, as at the first,
Mwen va, osi, etabli yon plas pou pèp Mwen an, Israël. Mwen va plante yo, pou yo kab viv nan pwòp plas yo e pou yo pa vin deranje ankò, ni pou mechan pa aflije yo ankò tankou lontan,
11 even from the day that I commanded judges to be over My people Israel; and I will cause thee to rest from all thine enemies. Moreover the LORD telleth thee that the LORD will make thee a house.
menm soti nan jou ke M te kòmande jij yo pou vin sou pèp Mwen an, Israël. Epi Mwen va ba ou repo sou tout lènmi ou yo. SENYÈ a va osi deklare a ou menm ke SENYÈ a va fè yon kay pou ou.
12 When thy days are fulfilled, and thou shalt sleep with thy fathers, I will set up thy seed after thee, that shall proceed out of thy body, and I will establish his kingdom.
Lè jou ou yo fin pase e ou kouche avèk zansèt ou yo, Mwen va fè vin leve desandan apre ou, ki va vin sòti nan ou menm e Mwen va etabli wayòm li.
13 He shall build a house for My name, and I will establish the throne of his kingdom for ever.
Li va bati yon kay pou non Mwen e Mwen va etabli twòn wayòm li a jis pou tout tan.
14 I will be to him for a father, and he shall be to Me for a son; if he commit iniquity, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the stripes of the children of men;
Mwen va yon papa a li menm e li va yon fis pou Mwen. Lè li fè inikite, Mwen va korije li avèk baton lòm nan, ak kout fwèt a fis a lòm yo.
15 but My mercy shall not depart from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before thee.
Men mizerikòd Mwen p ap sòti sou li jan Mwen te retire li sou Saül, ke Mwen te fè vin retire devan ou an.
16 And thy house and thy kingdom shall be made sure for ever before thee; thy throne shall be established for ever.'
Lakay ou ak wayòm ou va dire devan Mwen pou tout tan. Twòn ou an va etabli pou tout tan.”’”
17 According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak unto David.
An akò avèk tout pawòl sila yo, tout vizyon sila yo, Nathan te pale avèk David.
18 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?
Epi David, wa a, te antre chita devan SENYÈ a. Li te di: “Se kilès mwen ye, O Mèt BONDYE e se kisa lakay mwen ye, pou Ou te mennen mwen jis rive isit la?
19 And this was yet a small thing in Thine eyes, O Lord GOD; but Thou hast spoken also of Thy servant's house for a great while to come; and this too after the manner of great men, O Lord GOD.
Epi anplis, sa te yon ti bagay nan zye Ou, O Mèt BONDYE, paske Ou te pale osi pa lakay sèvitè Ou a, de avni byen lwen an. Epi sa se koutim a lòm, O Mèt BONDYE
20 And what can David say more unto Thee? for Thou knowest Thy servant, O Lord GOD.
Ankò, ki bagay anplis David kab di Ou? Paske Ou konnen sèvitè Ou a, O Mèt, BONDYE!
21 For Thy word's sake, and according to Thine own heart, hast Thou wrought all this greatness, to make Thy servant know it.
Pou koz a pawòl Ou e selon pwòp kè Ou, Ou te fè tout gwo bagay sila yo pou fè sèvitè Ou konnen.
22 Therefore Thou art great, O LORD God; for there is none like Thee, neither is there any God beside Thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
Pou rezon sa a, Ou gran, O Mèt BONDYE; paske nanpwen lòt tankou Ou menm e nanpwen lòt dye sof ke Ou menm, selon tout sa ke nou te tande avèk pwòp zòrèy nou.
23 And who is like Thy people, like Israel, a nation one in the earth, whom God went to redeem unto Himself for a people, and to make Him a name, and to do for Thy land great things and tremendous, even for you, in driving out from before Thy people, whom Thou didst redeem to Thee out of Egypt, the nations and their gods?
Epi ki lòt nasyon sou latè ki tankou pèp Ou a, Israël, ke Bondye te ale peye ranson pou Li menm kòm yon pèp, e pou fè yon non pou Li menm; pou fè yon gran bagay pou Ou ak bagay mèvèy pou peyi Ou a, devan pèp ke Ou te peye ranson pou kont Ou sòti an Égypte la, nan mitan nasyon yo, avèk dye pa yo.
24 And Thou didst establish to Thyself Thy people Israel to be a people unto Thee for ever; and Thou, LORD, becamest their God.
Paske Ou te etabli pou kont Ou, pèp Ou a, Israël kòm pèp Ou pou tout tan, e Ou menm, O SENYÈ a te devni Bondye pa yo.
25 And now, O LORD God, the word that Thou hast spoken concerning Thy servant, and concerning his house, confirm Thou it for ever, and do as Thou hast spoken.
“Pou sa, koulye a, O SENYÈ Bondye, pawòl ke Ou te pale konsènan sèvitè Ou avèk lakay li a, konfime nèt e fè jan Ou te pale a.
26 And let Thy name be magnified for ever, that it may be said: The LORD of hosts is God over Israel; and the house of Thy servant David shall be established before Thee.
Kite non Ou kapab vin resevwa glwa jis pou tout tan, pou di: ‘SENYÈ dèzame a se Bondye sou Israël la; epi pou lakay a sèvitè Ou a kapab vin etabli devan Ou.’
27 For Thou, O LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, hast revealed to Thy servant, saying: I will build thee a house; therefore hath Thy servant taken heart to pray this prayer unto Thee.
Paske Ou menm, O SENYÈ, Bondye a Israël la, te fè yon revelasyon a sèvitè Ou a e te di: ‘Mwen va bati yon kay pou ou’. Pou sa, sèvitè Ou a te jwenn kouraj pou fè priyè sila a, a Ou menm.
28 And now, O Lord GOD, Thou alone art God, and Thy words are truth, and Thou hast promised this good thing unto Thy servant;
“Alò, O Senyè BONDYE, Ou se Bondye. Pawòl Ou se verite e Ou te pwomèt bon bagay sila a a sèvitè pa Ou a.
29 now therefore let it please Thee to bless the house of Thy servant, that it may continue for ever before Thee; for Thou, O Lord GOD, hast spoken it; and through Thy blessing let the house of Thy servant be blessed for ever.'
Alò, pou sa, pou li kapab fè Ou plezi pou beni lakay sèvitè pa Ou a, pou li kapab kontinye pou tout tan devan Ou. Paske Ou menm, O Senyè BONDYE, te pale; epi avèk benediksyon pa Ou, pou lakay sèvitè Ou a kapab beni pou tout tan.”
