1 Chronicles 16
1 So they brought the ark of Elohim, and set it in the midst of the tent that David had pitched for it: and they offered burnt sacrifices and peace offerings before Elohim.
Yo pote Bwat Kontra Seyè a, yo mete l' nan plas li nan tant David te moute pou li a. Apre sa, yo ofri bèt pou boule nèt pou Bondye, ak ofrann pou di Bondye mèsi.
2 And when David had made an end of offering the burnt offerings and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of YHWH.
Lè David fin fè ofrann sa yo, li beni pèp la nan non Seyè a.
3 And he dealt to every one of Israel, both man and woman, to every one a loaf of bread, and a good piece of flesh, and a flagon of wine.
Li separe manje bay tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo, fanm kou gason. Li bay yo chak yon pen, yon moso vyann woti ak yon pen rezen.
4 And he appointed certain of the Levites to minister before the ark of YHWH, and to record, and to thank and praise YHWH Elohim of Israel:
David chwazi kèk moun Levi pou reskonsab sèvis y'ap fè devan Bwat Kontra a pou Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, pou adore l', pou di l' mèsi, pou fè lwanj li.
5 Asaph the chief, and next to him Zechariah, Jeiel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Mattithiah, and Eliab, and Benaiah, and Obed-edom: and Jeiel with psalteries and with harps; but Asaph made a sound with cymbals;
Li mete Asaf chèf ak Zakari pou vin apre li. Sou zòd yo te gen Aziyèl, Chemiramòt, Jekiyèl, Matitya, Eliyab, Benaja, Obèd-Edon, Jeyèl pou jwe enstriman mizik yo, gita ak bandjo. Asaf menm t'ap bat senbal ki fè gwo bri yo.
6 Benaiah also and Jahaziel the priests with trumpets continually before the ark of the covenant of Elohim.
Se Benaja ak Jaziyèl, prèt yo, ki te pou kònen twonpèt devan Bwat Kontra Bondye a tout tan.
7 Then on that day David delivered first this psalm to thank YHWH into the hand of Asaph and his brethren.
Se lè sa a, pou premye fwa, David te bay Asaf ak lòt moun Levi yo reskonsablite pou yo fè lwanj Seyè a.
8 Give thanks unto YHWH, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the people.
Lwanj pou Seyè a! Fè konnen jan li gen pouvwa! Fè nasyon yo konnen sa li fè!
9 Sing unto him, sing psalms unto him, talk ye of all his wondrous works.
Chante pou li! Fè lwanj li! Rakonte tout bèl bagay li te fè yo.
10 Glory ye in his holy name: let the heart of them rejoice that seek YHWH.
Fè kè nou kontan, paske nou se moun pa l'. Wi, se pou tout moun k'ap sèvi Seyè a fè fèt.
11 Seek YHWH and his strength, seek his face continually.
Ale jwenn Seyè a pou l' ka ede nou. Toujou chache rete devan li.
12 Remember his marvellous works that he hath done, his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth;
Chonje mirak ak bèl bagay li te fè yo. Chonje jijman ki te soti nan bouch li,
13 O ye seed of Israel his servant, ye children of Jacob, his chosen ones.
Nou menm, pitit pitit Izrayèl, sèvitè Bondye a, Nou menm, pitit pitit Jakòb yo, nou menm Bondye chwazi yo.
14 He is YHWH our Elohim; his judgments are in all the earth.
Seyè a, se Bondye nou li ye. Lè li pase yon lòd, se pou tout latè.
15 Be ye mindful always of his covenant; the word which he commanded to a thousand generations;
Toujou chonje kontra li a. L'ap kenbe pwomès li pou tout tan tout tan.
16 Even of the covenant which he made with Abraham, and of his oath unto Isaac;
Se kontra li te fè ak Abraram lan, sèman li te fè bay Izarak la.
17 And hath confirmed the same to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant,
Sa li te pwomèt Abraram lan, li fè l' tounen yon lwa pou pitit Jakòb yo, yon kontra ak pèp Izrayèl la pou tout tan.
18 Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, the lot of your inheritance;
Li te di: M'ap ba ou peyi Kanaran an pou pòsyon pa ou nan byen m' yo.
19 When ye were but few, even a few, and strangers in it.
Lè sa a, pèp Bondye a pa t' anpil. Yo te sèlman yon ti ponyen moun. Yo te tankou etranje toujou nan peyi a.
20 And when they went from nation to nation, and from one kingdom to another people;
Yo t'ap mache ale vini nan tout nasyon yo. Yo t'ap soti nan yon peyi ale nan yon lòt.
21 He suffered no man to do them wrong: yea, he reproved kings for their sakes,
Men, li pa t' kite pesonn maltrete yo. Li te menm rive pini anpil wa poutèt yo.
22 Saying, Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm.
Li te di: Piga nou manyen moun mwen chwazi yo. Piga nou fè pwofèt mwen yo anyen.
23 Sing unto YHWH, all the earth; shew forth from day to day his salvation.
Nou tout ki rete sou latè, chante pou Seyè a! Chak jou, fè konnen jan li delivre nou.
24 Declare his glory among the heathen; his marvellous works among all nations.
Fè nasyon yo konnen pouvwa li. Fè tout pèp yo konnen bèl bagay li fè yo.
25 For great is YHWH, and greatly to be praised: he also is to be feared above all elohim.
Seyè a gen gwo pouvwa. Li merite pou yo fè lwanj li vre. Se pou tout moun pè l' pi plis pase lòt bondye yo.
26 For all the elohim of the people are idols: but YHWH made the heavens.
Bondye lòt nasyon yo pa anyen, se pòtre yo ye. Men, se Seyè a ki fè syèl la.
27 Glory and honour are in his presence; strength and gladness are in his place.
Devan li, se respè, se chapo ba. Gen pouvwa, gen kè kontan kote l' ye lakay li a.
28 Give unto YHWH, ye kindreds of the people, give unto YHWH glory and strength.
Nou tout pèp ki sou latè, fè lwanj Seyè a! Fè lwanj Seyè a pou pouvwa ak fòs li genyen!
29 Give unto YHWH the glory due unto his name: bring an offering, and come before him: worship YHWH in the beauty of holiness.
Fè lwanj Seyè a, paske li merite sa! Pote ofrann ba li anndan lakay li! Adore Bondye nan bèl kay ki apa pou li a!
30 Fear before him, all the earth: the world also shall be stable, that it be not moved.
Nou tout ki sou latè, tranble devan li. Latè kanpe fèm, anyen pa ka brannen l'.
31 Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice: and let men say among the nations, YHWH reigneth.
Se pou syèl la kontan, se pou latè a fè fèt. Mache di nan tout peyi yo: Se Seyè a ki sèl wa.
32 Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof: let the fields rejoice, and all that is therein.
Se pou lanmè a ansanm ak tou sa ki ladan l' pran fè bri sitèlman yo kontan. Se pou jaden yo ak tou sa ki ladan yo fè fèt.
33 Then shall the trees of the wood sing out at the presence of YHWH, because he cometh to judge the earth.
Lè Seyè a parèt se pou tout pyebwa nan gwo rak yo rele sitèlman yo kontan. Paske l'ap vini pou l' jije tout moun ki sou latè.
34 O give thanks unto YHWH; for he is good; for his mercy endureth for ever.
Lwanj pou Seyè a paske li bon. Li p'ap janm sispann renmen nou.
35 And say ye, Save us, O Elohim of our salvation, and gather us together, and deliver us from the heathen, that we may give thanks to thy holy name, and glory in thy praise.
Se pou nou di: Delivre nou non, Bondye delivrans nou! Fè nou soti nan tout peyi kote nou gaye yo. Sanble nou, pou nou ka di ou mèsi pou tout bagay ou menm sèl ka fè, pou nou ka kontan lè n'ap fè lwanj ou.
36 Blessed be YHWH Elohim of Israel for ever and ever. And all the people said, Amen, and praised YHWH.
Ann fè lwanj Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la! Ann fè lwanj li depi tout tan ak pou tout tan. Epi tout pèp la pran reponn: -Wi, se vre! Lwanj pou Seyè a!
37 So he left there before the ark of the covenant of YHWH Asaph and his brethren, to minister before the ark continually, as every day's work required:
Lèfini, David kite Asaf ak moun Levi menm fanmi avè l' yo devan Bwat Kontra Seyè a pou yo toujou reskonsab tout sèvis ki pou fèt kote yo te mete Bwat Kontra a. Yo te gen pou fè sèvis yo la chak jou san rete.
38 And Obed-edom with their brethren, threescore and eight; Obed-edom also the son of Jeduthun and Hosah to be porters:
Obèd-Edon ak swasantwit lòt moun nan fanmi li t'ap ede yo nan travay yo. Osa ak Obèd-Edon, pitit gason Jeditoun lan, te reskonsab pòtay yo.
39 And Zadok the priest, and his brethren the priests, before the tabernacle of YHWH in the high place that was at Gibeon,
Men David kite Zadòk, prèt la, ak moun Levi menm fanmi avè l' yo ki te prèt tou devan Tant Seyè a, nan kote yo te mete apa pou Seyè a lavil Gabawon.
40 To offer burnt offerings unto YHWH upon the altar of the burnt offering continually morning and evening, and to do according to all that is written in the law of YHWH, which he commanded Israel;
Chak maten, chak aswè, se yo ki pou boule bèt yo ofri bay Seyè a nèt sou lotèl ki fèt pou sa a, dapre sa ki ekri nan lalwa Seyè a te bay pèp Izrayèl la.
41 And with them Heman and Jeduthun, and the rest that were chosen, who were expressed by name, to give thanks to YHWH, because his mercy endureth for ever;
Te gen avèk yo tou Eyman, Jedoutoun ansanm ak lòt moun yo te chwazi tout espre pou chante: Lwanj pou Seyè a paske li p'ap janm sispann renmen nou.
42 And with them Heman and Jeduthun with trumpets and cymbals for those that should make a sound, and with musical instruments of Elohim. And the sons of Jeduthun were porters.
Eyman ak Jedoutoun te gen twonpèt, senbal ki fè gwo bri yo ak lòt enstriman mizik pou yo jwe antan yo t'ap chante fè lwanj pou Bondye. Manm fanmi Jedoutoun yo te reskonsab veye pòtay yo.
43 And all the people departed every man to his house: and David returned to bless his house.
Apre sa, tout pèp la tounen lakay yo. David tounen lakay li tou pou l' beni fanmi pa l' tou.
