1 Chronicles 22

1 And David said, This is the house of the Lord the [true] God, and this is the altar for the burnt-offering for Israel.

Konsa David te di: “Sa se lakay SENYÈ a, Bondye a, e sa se lotèl ofrann brile pou Israël la.”

2 And David ordered to gather together the strangers that were in the land of Israel: and he appointed [them] to be masons to hew cut stones to build the house of God.

Pou sa, David te bay lòd pou ranmase tout etranje ki te nan peyi Israël yo. Konsa, li te mete taye wòch nan travay pou koupe wòch pou bati kay Bondye a.

3 And iron in abundance for the nails for the doors of the gates, and for the joinings, did David prepare; and copper in abundance, [which] could not be weighed;

David te prepare yon gran kantite fè pou fè klou pou pòt pòtay yo ak pou kranpon yo e plis bwonz ki ta kab peze yo.

4 Also cedar-trees [which] could not be counted; for the Zidonians and the Tyrians had brought cedar-trees in abundance to David.

Epi twòn bwa sèd yo te depase kontwòl, paske Sidonyen yo avèk Tyriens yo te mennen gran kantite a twòn bwa sèd yo kote David.

5 And David said, Solomon my son is young and tender, and the house that is to be built [in honor] of the Lord must be exceedingly great, for fame and for glory throughout all the countries: I will therefore make preparation for it. So David made abundant preparation before his death.

David te di: “Fis mwen, Salomon jèn, epi manke eksperyans. Epi kay k ap bati pou SENYÈ a va tèlman ekstrawòdinè, byen koni toupatou, e k ap renome pou glwa li nan tout peyi yo. Se pou sa ke mwen va fè preparasyon pou li.” Konsa, David te fè anpil preparasyon avan l te mouri.

6 And he called for Solomon his son, and charged him to build a house for the Lord the God of Israel.

Alò, li te rele fis li a, Salomon e te òdone li pou bati yon kay pou non SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la.

7 And David said to Solomon, My son, as for me, it was in my mind to build a house unto the name of the Lord my God;

David te di a Salomon: “Fis mwen, mwen te gen entansyon pou bati yon kay a non SENYÈ a, Bondye mwen an.

8 But there came concerning me the word of the Lord, saying, Blood in abundance hast thou shed, and great wars hast thou made: thou shalt not build a house unto my name, because much blood hast thou shed upon the earth before me.

Men pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote mwen. Li te di: Ou gen tan vèse anpil san, e te fè gwo lagè sou latè. Ou pa p bati yon kay pou non mwen, akoz ou te vèse anpil san sou latè devan zye m.

9 Behold, a son will be born to thee, he it is who shall be a man of rest; and I will give him rest from all his enemies on every side; for Solomon [[The Peaceful]] shall be his name, and peace and quietness will I bestow on Israel in his days.

Men gade byen, youn fis ki va ne a ou menm yo, va yon moun lapè. Konsa, Mwen va bay li repo soti nan tout lènmi li yo nan tout kote. Paske non li va Salomon e mwen va bay lapè avèk kalm an Israël nan jou pa li yo.

10 He it is who shall build a house unto my name; and he shall be unto me as a son, and I will be unto him as a father; and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel for ever.

Li va bati yon kay pou non Mwen. Li va fis Mwen e Mwen va papa li. Konsa, mwen va etabli twòn wayòm li sou Israël jis pou tout tan.

11 Now, my son, may the Lord be with thee, that thou mayest prosper, and build the house of the Lord thy God, as he hath spoken concerning thee.

Koulye a, fis mwen an, ke SENYÈ a kapab avèk ou, pou ou kapab byen reyisi, e bati lakay SENYÈ a, Bondye pa w la, jis jan ke li te pale selon ou menm nan.

12 Only may the Lord give thee intelligence and understanding, and give thee charge over Israel, so that thou mayest observe the law of the Lord thy God.

Sèlman ke SENYÈ a ta kapab bay ou sajès avèk konprann pou fè ou renye sou Israël, pou ou kapab kenbe lalwa a SENYÈ a, Bondye ou a.

13 Then wilt thou prosper, if thou observe to practise the statutes and the ordinances which the Lord commanded Moses concerning Israel: be strong, and of good courage; be not afraid, nor be thou dismayed.

Konsa, ou va byen reyisi, si ou fè atansyon pou swiv règleman avèk lòd ke SENYÈ a te kòmande Moïse selon Israël yo. Kenbe fèm e pran kouraj. Pa dekouraje, ni pa krent anyen.

14 And, behold, during my affliction have I prepared for the house of the Lord one hundred thousand talents of gold, and a thousand times thousand talents of silver; and of copper and iron [as much as] cannot be weighed; for in [such] abundance was it: and wood and stone have I prepared; and thou must add thereto.

Alò, gade byen, avèk gwo lapèn mwen te prepare pou lakay SENYÈ a, san-mil talan lò, yon-milyon talan ajan e bwonz avèk fè ki depase peze, akoz yo tèlman anpil. Anplis, gran twòn bwa avèk wòch ke m te prepare, e ou gen dwa mete sou yo toujou.

15 Moreover there are with thee in abundance workmen, hewers and workers of stone and timber, and all manner of skilful men for every kind of work.

Anplis, gen anpil ouvriye ki avèk ou, tayè wòch, avèk mason ak chapant e tout mesye ak kapasite nan tout kalite mendèv.

16 The gold, the silver, and the copper, and the iron cannot be numbered: arise, [therefore, ] and be doing, and may the Lord be with thee.

Selon lò, ajan ak bwonz avèk fè, nanpwen limit. Leve, fè travay ou e ke SENYÈ a kapab avèk ou.”

17 And David gave a charge to all the princes of Israel to help Solomon his son, [saying, ]

Anplis, David te kòmande tout chèf Israël yo pou ede fis li a, Salomon. Li te di:

18 Behold the Lord your God is with you; and he hath given you rest on every side; for he hath given up into my hand the inhabitants of the land, and the land is subdued before the Lord, and before his people.

“Èske SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, pa avèk nou? Konsa, èske Li pa t bannou repo sou tout kote? Paske Li te livre sila ki viv nan peyi yo nan men m, e peyi a soumèt nèt devan SENYÈ a ak devan pèp Li a.

19 Now direct your heart and your soul to seek the Lord your God; and arise, and build ye the sanctuary of the Lord the [true] God, [in order] to bring the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and the holy vessels of God, into the house that is to be built unto the name of the Lord.

Alò, bay kè nou avèk nanm nou pou chache SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an. Konsa, leve pou bati sanktiyè SENYÈ a, Bondye a, pou nou kapab pote lach akò SENYÈ a avèk veso sakre Bondye yo antre nan kay ki va bati pou non a SENYÈ a.”
