1 Chronicles 17
1 Now it came to pass, as David sat in his house, that David said to Nathan the prophet, Lo, I dwell in an house of cedars, but the ark of the covenant of Yhwh remaineth under curtains.
Li te vin rive ke lè David te rete lakay li, ke David te di a Nathan, pwofèt la: “Gade byen, mwen rete nan yon kay fèt ak sèd, men lach akò SENYÈ a rete anba rido.”
2 Then Nathan said unto David, Do all that is in thine heart; for God is with thee.
Nathan te di a David: “Fè tout sa ki nan kè ou, paske Bondye avèk ou.”
3 And it came to pass the same night, that the word of God came to Nathan, saying,
Li te vin rive nan menm nwit lan ke pawòl SENYÈ a te parèt a Nathan. Li te di:
4 Go and tell David my servant, Thus saith Yhwh, Thou shalt not build me an house to dwell in:
“Ale pale David, sèvitè Mwen an, ‘Konsa pale SENYÈ a, “Ou pa pou bati yon kay pou Mwen pou M rete ladann;
5 For I have not dwelt in an 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.
paske Mwen pa t konn rete nan yon kay depi jou ke M te mennen Israël monte a, jis rive jodi a; men Mwen te ale soti de tant a tant e soti yon kote pou rete jis rive a yon lòt.
6 Wheresoever I have walked with all Israel, spake I a word to any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to feed my people, saying, Why have ye not built me an house of cedars?
Nan tout plas kote Mwen te mache avèk Israël yo, èske Mwen te pale yon mo avèk okenn nan jij Israël yo pou Mwen te kòmande yo pou fè bèje a pèp Mwen an, epi te di yo: ‘Poukisa ou pa t bati pou Mwen yon kay an sèd?’”
7 Now therefore thus shalt thou say unto my servant David, Thus saith Yhwh of Armies, I took thee from the sheepcote, even from following the sheep, that thou shouldest be ruler over my people Israel:
Alò, pou sa, konsa ou va pale ak sèvitè Mwen an, David: ‘Konsa pale SENYÈ a dèzame yo: “Mwen te retire ou nan pak kote ou t ap swiv mouton, pou devni chèf sou pèp Mwen an, Israël.
8 And I have been with thee whithersoever thou hast walked, and have cut off all thine enemies from before thee, and have made thee a name like the name of the great men that are in the earth.
Mwen te avèk ou tout kote ke ou te ale, e te koupe devan ou tout lènmi ou yo. Konsa, Mwen va fè yon non pou ou pare ak pi gwo moun sou latè yo.
9 Also I will ordain a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, and they shall dwell in their place, and shall be moved no more; neither shall the children of wickedness waste them any more, as at the beginning,
Mwen va chwazi yon plas pou pèp Israël Mwen an e va plante yo, pou yo kab rete nan pwòp plas yo, pou yo pa vin deplase ankò. Konsa, mechan yo p ap epwize yo ankò tankou oparavan,
10 And since the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. Moreover I will subdue all thine enemies. Furthermore I tell thee that Yhwh will build thee an house.
depi jou ke M te kòmande jij yo vini sou pèp Israël Mwen an. Konsa, Mwen va soumèt tou lènmi ou yo. Anplis, Mwen di ou, ke SENYÈ a va bati yon kay pou ou.
11 And it shall come to pass, when thy days be expired that thou must go to be with thy fathers, that I will raise up thy seed after thee, which shall be of thy sons; and I will establish his kingdom.
Lè jou yo acheve pou ou oblije ale jwenn zansèt ou yo, Mwen va plase youn nan desandan apre ou yo, ki va nan fis ou yo; epi Mwen va etabli wayòm pa li.
12 He shall build me an house, and I will stablish his throne for ever.
Li va bati pou Mwen yon kay e mwen va etabli twòn li jis pou tout tan.
13 I will be his father, and he shall be my son: and I will not take my mercy away from him, as I took it from him that was before thee:
Mwen va papa li e li va fis Mwen. Mwen p ap retire lanmou dous Mwen sou li, tankou Mwen te retire li sou sila ki te avan ou an.
14 But I will settle him in mine house and in my kingdom for ever: and his throne shall be established for evermore.
Men Mwen va etabli li lakay Mwen ak nan wayòm Mwen an jis pou tout tan e twòn li an va etabli nèt pou tout tan.”’”
15 According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so did Nathan speak unto David.
Selon tout pawòl sa yo e selon vizyon sila a, konsa Nathan te pale ak David.
16 And David the king came and sat before Yhwh, and said, Who am I, O Yhwh God, and what is mine house, that thou hast brought me hitherto?
Konsa, wa David te antre e te chita devan SENYÈ a epi te di: “Se kilès mwen ye, O SENYÈ a, Bondye a e kisa lakay mwen ye pou Ou te mennen m rive jis isit la?
17 And yet this was a small thing in thine eyes, O God; for thou hast also spoken of thy servant’s house for a great while to come, and hast regarded me according to the estate of a man of high degree, O Yhwh God.
Sa se te yon ti bagay nan zye Ou, O Bondye, men Ou te pale afè lakay sèvitè Ou a pou anpil tan k ap vini, e te gade mwen kon yon moun gran valè, O SENYÈ Bondye.
18 What can David speak more to thee for the honour of thy servant? for thou knowest thy servant.
Kisa, anplis, David kapab di Ou selon onè ki bay a sèvitè Ou a? Paske ou konnen sèvitè Ou.
19 O Yhwh, for thy servant’s sake, and according to thine own heart, hast thou done all this greatness, in making known all these great things.
O SENYÈ, pou koz sèvitè ou a, e selon pwòp kè pa Ou, Ou te prepare tout grandè sa a, pou ta fè konnen tout gran afè sila yo.
20 O Yhwh, there is none like thee, neither is there any God beside thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
O SENYÈ, nanpwen lòt tankou Ou, ni nanpwen okenn Bondye sof ke Ou, selon tout sa ke nou te tande avèk zòrèy nou.
21 And what one nation in the earth is like thy people Israel, whom God went to redeem to be his own people, to make thee a name of greatness and terribleness, by driving out nations from before thy people, whom thou hast redeemed out of Egypt?
Epi ki lòt nasyon sou latè ki tankou pèp Ou a, Israël, ke Bondye te ale peye ranson a Li menm yon pèp; pou fè yon non pou Ou pa bagay ki te gran e mèvèye yo, lè Ou te pouse, fè soti tout lòt nasyon yo devan pèp Ou a, ke Ou te rachete, fè soti nan Egypte.
22 For thy people Israel didst thou make thine own people for ever; and thou, Yhwh, becamest their God.
Paske pèp Ou a, Israël, Ou te fè pwòp pèp Ou a jis pou tout tan e Ou menm, O SENYÈ, te vin Bondye pa yo.
23 Therefore now, Yhwh, let the thing that thou hast spoken concerning thy servant and concerning his house be established for ever, and do as thou hast said.
Koulye a, O SENYÈ, kite pawòl ke Ou te pale pa sèvitè Ou a, selon lakay li vin etabli jis pou tout tan an. Fè jan Ou te pale a.
24 Let it even be established, that thy name may be magnified for ever, saying, Yhwh of Armies is the God of Israel, even a God to Israel: and let the house of David thy servant be established before thee.
Kite non pa Ou vin etabli e onore jis pou tout tan, epi di: SENYÈ dèzame yo se Bondye a Israël la, yon Bondye menm pou Israël. Konsa, lakay David, sèvitè Ou a se etabli devan Ou.
25 For thou, O my God, hast told thy servant that thou wilt build him an house: therefore thy servant hath found in his heart to pray before thee.
Paske Ou menm, O Bondye mwen, te revele a sèvitè Ou a, ke Ou va bati pou li yon kay. Pou sa, sèvitè Ou a te twouve kouraj pou vin priye devan Ou.
26 And now, Yhwh, thou art God, and hast promised this goodness unto thy servant:
Koulye a, O SENYÈ, Ou se Bondye e te pwomèt bon bagay sa a sèvitè Ou a.
27 Now therefore let it please thee to bless the house of thy servant, that it may be before thee for ever: for thou blessest, O Yhwh, and it shall be blessed for ever.
Konsa, sa te fè Ou plezi pou beni lakay sèvitè Ou a, pou li kapab kontinye jis pou tout tan devan Ou. Paske Ou menm, O SENYÈ, te fè l beni e li menm vin beni jis pou tout tan.”
