Chronicles II 6
1 Then said Solomon, The Lord said that he would dwell in thick darkness.
Epi Salomon te di: “SENYÈ a te di ke Li ta abite nan nwaj fonse a.
2 But I have built a house to your name, holy to you, and prepared [for you] to dwell in for ever.
Mwen te bati yon kay byen wo ak yon plas pou abitasyon pa W Jis pou tout tan.”
3 And the king turned his face, and blessed all the congregation of Israel: and all the congregation of Israel stood by.
Konsa, wa a te vire fas li pou te beni tout asanble Israël la pandan tout asanble a te kanpe.
4 And he said, Blessed [be] the Lord God of Israel: he has even fulfilled with his hands as he spoke with his mouth to my father David, saying,
Li te di: “Beni se SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la, ki te pale avèk bouch Li a papa m, David, e ki te acheve sa avèk men Li, lè li te di:
5 From the day when I brought up my people out of the land of Egypt, I chose no city of all the tribes of Israel, to build a house that my name should be there; neither did I choose a man to be a leader over my people Israel.
‘Depi jou ke M te mennen pèp Mwen an sòti nan peyi Égypte la, Mwen pa t chwazi yon vil nan tout tribi Israël yo pou bati yon kay pou non Mwen ta kapab la, ni Mwen pa t chwazi yon moun kòm chèf sou pèp Mwen an, Israël;
6 But I chose Jerusalem that my name should be there; and I chose David to be over my people Israel.
men Mwen te chwazi Jérusalem pou non Mwen ta kapab la, e Mwen te chwazi David pou li kapab sou pèp Mwen an, Israël.’
7 And it came into the heart of David my father, to build a house for the name of the Lord God of Israel.
Alò, li te nan kè a papa m, David, pou bati yon kay pou non SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la.
8 But the Lord said to my father David, Whereas it came into your heart to build a house for my name, you did well that it came into your heart.
Men SENYÈ a te di a papa m, David: ‘Akoz li te nan kè ou pou bati kay pou non Mwen an, ou te fè byen lè sa te nan kè ou a.
9 Nevertheless you shall not build the house; for your son who shall come forth out of your loins, he shall build the house for my name.
Sepandan, ou p ap bati kay la, men fis ou ki va fèt a ou menm, li va bati kay la pou non Mwen.’”
10 And the Lord has confirmed this word, which he spoke; and I am raised up in the room of my father David, and I sit upon the throne of Israel as the Lord said, and I have built the house for the name of the Lord God of Israel:
“Koulye a, SENYÈ a gen tan fin akonpli pawòl ke Li te pale a. Paske mwen te monte nan plas a papa m David, pou chita sou twòn Israël la, jan SENYÈ a te pale a, e te bati kay la pou non SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la.
11 and I have set there the ark in which [is] the covenant of the Lord, which he made with Israel.
La, mwen te mete lach ki gen akò SENYÈ a ladann nan, akò ke Li te fè avèk fis Israël yo.”
12 And he stood before the altar of the Lord in the presence of all the congregation of Israel, and spread out his hands.
Konsa, li te kanpe devan lotèl SENYÈ a nan prezans a tout asanble Israël la, e li te lonje men li.
13 For Solomon [had] made a brazen scaffold, and set it in the midst of the court of the sanctuary; the length of it [was] five cubits, and the breadth of it five cubits, and the height of it three cubits: and he stood upon it, and fell upon his knees before the whole congregation of Israel, and spread abroad his hands to heaven,
Alò, Salomon te fè yon etaj an bwonz, senk koude nan longè, senk koude nan lajè ak twa koude nan wotè e li te plase li nan mitan gran lakou a. Epi li te kanpe sou li, li te mete li ajenou nan prezans a tout asanble Israël la, e li te lonje men li vè syèl la.
14 and said, Lord God of Israel, there is no God like you in heaven, or on the earth; keeping covenant and mercy with your servants that walk before you with [their] whole heart.
Li te di: “O SENYÈ, Bondye Israël la, nanpwen dye tankou Ou nan syèl la ni sou tè a, k ap kenbe akò avèk lanmou dous avèk sèvitè Ou yo ki mache devan Ou avèk tout kè yo;
15 Even as you have kept [them] with your servant David my father, as you have spoken to him in words: —you have both spoken with your mouth, and have fulfilled [it] with your hands, as it is this day.
ki te kenbe pawòl avèk sèvitè Ou, David, papa m, nan sa ke Ou te pwomèt li a. Anverite, Ou te pale avèk bouch Ou, e Ou te akonpli li avèk men Ou, jan sa ye jodi a.
16 and now, Lord God of Israel, keep with your servant David my father the things which you spoke to him, saying, There shall not fail you a man before me sitting on the throne of Israel, if only your sons will take heed to their way to walk in my law, as you did walk before me.
“Pou sa, O SENYÈ, Bondye Israël la, kenbe avèk sèvitè Ou a, David, sa ke ou te pwomèt li a. Ou te di: ‘Ou p ap manke yon nonm ki pou chita sou twòn Israël la, si sèlman fis ou yo fè atansyon nan chemen yo, pou mache nan lalwa pa Mwen, jan ou te mache devan M nan.’
17 And now, Lord God of Israel, let, I pray you, your word be confirmed, which you have spoken to your servant David.
Alò, pou sa, O SENYÈ, Bondye Israël la, kite pawòl Ou konfime nan sa Ou te pale a sèvitè Ou a, David.
18 For will God indeed dwell with men upon the earth? if the heaven and the heaven of heavens will not suffice you, what then is this house which I have built?
“Men èske Bondye va vrèman rete avèk lòm sou tè a? Gade byen, syèl la avèk pi wo syèl la pa kab kenbe Ou; bokou mwens, pou kay sa a ke m te konstwi a.
19 Yet you shall have respect to the prayer of your servant, and to my petition, O Lord God, so as to listen to the petition and the prayer which your servant prays before you this day:
Malgre sa, prete atansyon a lapriyè a sèvitè Ou a, avèk sa li mande a, O SENYÈ Bondye mwen an, pou koute lè m kriye ak lapriyè ke sèvitè Ou a fè devan Ou;
20 so that your eyes should be open over this house by day and by night, towards this place, whereon you said your name should be called, so as to hear the prayer which your servant prays towards this house.
pou zye Ou kapab ouvri vè kay sa a lajounen kon lannwit, vè plas sou sila Ou te di ke Ou ta mete non Ou la, pou koute lapriyè ke sèvitè Ou a va fè vè plas sa a.
21 And you shall hear the supplication of your servant, and of your people Israel, whatever prayers they shall make towards this place: and you shall listen in your dwelling-place out of heaven, yes you shall hear, and be merciful.
Koute a siplikasyon a sèvitè Ou yo ak pèp Ou a, Israël, lè yo priye vè plas sa a; koute depi nan abitasyon Ou an, nan syèl la; e lè Ou koute, padone.
22 If a man sin against his neighbor, and he bring an oath upon him so as to make him swear, and he come and swear before the altar in this house;
“Si yon nonm peche kont vwazen li, pou li oblije sèmante e li vin fè yon sèman devan lotèl Ou nan kay sila a,
23 then shall you listen out of heaven, and do, and judge your servants, to recompense the transgressor, and to return his ways upon his head: and to justify the righteous, to recompense him according to his righteousness.
alò, tande soti nan syèl la e aji pou jije sèvitè Ou yo, avèk pinisyon pou mechan an k ap fè chemen pa li vin tonbe sou pwòp tèt li, epi pou rann jistis a sila ki dwat yo e ba li selon ladwati li.
24 And if your people Israel should be put to the worse before the enemy, if they should sin against you, and [then] turn and confess to your name, and pray and make supplication before you in this house;
“Si pèp Ou a ta vin bat devan yon lènmi akoz peche ke yo konn fè kont Ou, e yo retounen kote Ou pou konfese non Ou; si yo priye devan Ou e fè siplikasyon devan Ou nan kay sa a,
25 then shall you listen out of heaven and shall be merciful to the sins of your people Israel, and you shall restore them to the land which you gave to them and to their fathers.
alò, koute soti nan syèl la, e padone peche a pèp Ou a, Israël. Mennen yo retounen nan peyi ke Ou te bay a yo menm avèk zansèt pa yo.
26 When heaven is restrained, and there is no rain, because they shall have sinned against you, and [when] they shall pray towards this place, and praise your name, and shall turn from their sins, because you shall afflict them;
“Lè syèl yo vin fèmen e nanpwen lapli akoz peche ke yo fè kont Ou, si yo fè lapriyè vè plas sa a e konfese non Ou, pou yo vire kite peche pa yo lè Ou aflije yo;
27 then shall you listen from heaven, and you shall be merciful to the sins of your servants, and of your people Israel; for you shall show them the good way in which they shall walk; and you shall send rain upon your land, which you gave to your people for an inheritance.
alò, tande nan syèl la e padone peche a sèvitè Ou yo ak pèp Ou a, Israël. Anverite, enstwi yo selon bon chemen nan sila yo ta dwe mache a, epi voye lapli sou tè ke Ou te bay a pèp Ou a kòm eritaj la.
28 If there should be famine upon the land, if there should be death, a pestilent wind an blight; if there should be locust and caterpiller, and if the enemy should harass them before their cities: in whatever plague and whatever distress [they may be];
“Si gen gwo grangou nan peyi a, si se gwo maladi, si gen gwo dega jaden ak bèt, oswa kanni, si gen krikèt oswa bèt volan, si lènmi yo fè syèj a yo menm nan teren vil yo, nenpòt toumant, nenpòt maladi,
29 Then whatever prayer and whatever supplication shall be made by any man and all your people Israel, if a man should know his own plague and his own sickness, and should spread forth his hands toward this house;
nenpòt lapriyè oswa siplikasyon ki fèt pa nenpòt moun, oswa pa tout pèp Ou a, Israël, chak moun ki konnen pwòp soufrans li ak pwòp doulè li e ki vin ouvri men li vè kay sila a,
30 then shall you hear from heaven, out of your prepared dwelling-place, and shall be merciful, and shall recompense to the man according to his ways, as you shall know his heart [to be]; for you alone know the heart of the children of men:
nan lè sa a, koute depi nan syèl la, abitasyon pa Ou a, epi padone e bay a chak moun selon pwòp chemen li, kè a sila Ou konnen yo (paske Ou menm sèl konnen kè a fis a lòm yo),
31 that they may reverence all your ways all the days which they live upon the face of the land, which you gave to our fathers.
pou yo ta kapab gen lakrent Ou, pou mache nan chemen Ou yo pou tout tan ke yo rete nan peyi ke Ou te bay a zansèt nou yo.
32 And every stranger who is not himself of your people Israel, and who shall have come from a distant land because of your great name, and your mighty hand, and your high arm; when they shall come and worship toward this place; —
“Anplis, selon etranje ki pa sòti nan pèp Ou a, Israël, lè li sòti nan yon peyi lwen, akoz gran non pa Ou, avèk men pwisan Ou ak bwa Ou ki lonje byen ouvri a, lè yo vini fè lapriyè vè kay sila a,
33 then shall you listen out of heaven, out of your prepared dwelling-place, and shall do according to all that the stranger shall call upon you for; that all the nations of the earth may know your name, and that they may fear you, as your people Israel [do], and that they may know that your name is called upon this house which I have built.
alò, koute depi nan syèl la, depi abitasyon Ou a, e fè selon tout sa ke etranje sila a vin mande Ou, jis pou tout pèp sou latè yo kapab konnen non Ou e gen lakrent ou, jan pèp Israël Ou a konn fè a, pou yo kapab rekonèt ke kay sila ke m te bati a rele pa non Ou.
34 And if your people shall go forth to war against their enemies by the way by which you shall send them, and shall pray to you toward this city which you have chosen, and [toward] the house which I have built to your name;
“Lè pèp Ou a sòti pou batay kont lènmi yo, pa nenpòt chemen ke Ou ta voye yo, e yo priye a Ou menm vè vil sila ke Ou te chwazi ak kay ke m te bati pou non Ou a,
35 then shall you hear out of heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.
nan lè sa a, koute lapriyè yo soti nan syèl la avèk siplikasyon yo, e bay soutyen a koz pa yo.
36 Whereas if they shall sin against you, (for there is no man who will not sin, ) and you shall strike them, and deliver them up before their enemies, and they that take them captive shall carry them away into a land of enemies, to a land far off or near;
“Lè yo fè peche kont Ou (paske nanpwen lòm ki pa peche), epi Ou fache avèk yo jis Ou livre yo a yon lènmi, e yo pran yo mete an kaptivite nan yon peyi lwen, oswa pre;
37 and [if] they shall repent in their land whither they were carried captive, and shall also turn and make supplication to you in their captivity, saying, We have sinned, we have transgressed, we have wrought unrighteously;
si yo vin reflechi nan peyi kote yo te mennen an kaptivite a, repanti, e fè siplikasyon a Ou menm nan peyi kaptivite yo a, e di: ‘Nou te peche, nou fè inikite e te aji avèk mechanste;’
38 and [if] they shall turn to you with all their heart and all their soul in the land of them that carried them captives, whither they carried them captives, and shall pray toward their land which you gave to their fathers, and the city which you did choose, and the house which I built to your name: —
si yo retounen a Ou menm avèk tout kè yo, avèk tout nanm yo soti nan peyi kaptivite yo a, kote yo te mennen yo an kaptivite a, e priye vè peyi yo a ke Ou te bay a zansèt yo, ak vil ke Ou te chwazi a, e vè kay ke m te bati pou non Ou a,
39 then shall you hear out of heaven, out of your prepared dwelling-place, their prayer and their supplication, and you shall execute justice, and shall be merciful to your people that sin against you.
alò, tande, depi nan syèl la, depi nan abitasyon pa Ou a, lapriyè pa yo, avèk siplikasyon pa yo, e bay soutyen a koz pa yo, epi padone pèp Ou a ki te peche kont Ou.
40 And now, Lord, let, I pray you, your eyes be opened, and your ears be attentive to the petition [made in] this place.
“Koulye a, O Bondye mwen, mwen priye, kite zye Ou louvri e zòrèy ou vin atantif a lapriyè sa a, ki fèt nan plas sa a.
41 And now, O Lord God, arise into your resting-place, you, and the ark of your strength: let your priests, O Lord God, clothe themselves with salvation, and your sons rejoice in prosperity.
“Alò, pou sa, leve, O SENYÈ Bondye, a plas repo pa Ou a, Ou menm avèk lach pwisan pa Ou a. Kite prèt Ou yo, SENYÈ Bondye, abiye avèk sali, e kite fidèl Ou yo rejwi nan tout sa ki bon.
42 O Lord God, turn not away the face of your anointed: remember the mercies of your servant David.
“O SENYÈ Bondye, pa vire kite fas a onksyone pa Ou a. Sonje lanmou dous Ou vè sèvitè Ou a, David.”
