1 Kings 8
1 Then did Solomon assemble the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the princes of the divisions of the children of Israel, unto king Solomon in Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of the Lord out of the city of David, which is Zion.
Apre sa, Salomon bay lòd pou tout gwo chèf pèp Izrayèl yo ansanm ak tout chèf branch fanmi yo ak lòt chèf fanmi pèp la vin jwenn li lavil Jerizalèm pou y' al pran Bwat Kontra Seyè a nan lavil David la, lavil Siyon an, pou yo pote l' nan Tanp lan.
2 And all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto king Solomon at the feast in the month Ethanim, which is the seventh month.
Pandan Fèt Joupa yo nan mwa Etanim lan, setyèm mwa nan kalandriye jwif yo, tout pèp Izrayèl la reyini ansanm ak wa Salomon.
3 And all the elders of Israel came, and the priests took up the ark.
Lè tout chèf fanmi pèp Izrayèl yo reyini, prèt yo pran Bwat Kontra a,
4 And they brought up the ark of the Lord, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and all the holy vessels that were in the tabernacle: even these did the priests and the Levites bring up.
yo pote l' nan Tanp lan ansanm ak Tant Randevou Seyè a ak tout bagay ki te apa pou Seyè a nan Tant Randevou a. Se prèt yo ak moun Levi yo ki te pote yo moute.
5 And king Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel, that were assembled unto him, were with him before the ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen, that could not be told nor numbered for multitude.
Wa Salomon ansanm ak tout pèp Izrayèl la sanble devan Bwat Kontra a, yo touye bèf, kabrit ak mouton an kantite pou Bondye. Moun pa t' ka konte konbe bèt yo te touye jou sa a sitèlman yo te anpil.
6 And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the Lord unto its place, into the debir of the house, into the most holy place, under the wings of the cherubim.
Lè yo fini, prèt yo pote Bwat Kontra a nan pyès ki apa nèt pou Seyè a, yo mete l' nan mitan de pòtre zanj cheriben yo.
7 For the cherubim spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and its staves from above.
Zèl cheriben yo te louvri, yo te kouvri tout kote Bwat Kontra a ye a ansanm ak poto ki sèvi pou pote l' yo.
8 And they had made the staves so long, that the ends of the staves were seen out in the holy place in the front of the debir, but they were not seen without; and they have remained there until this day.
Si yon moun kanpe sou devan pyès ki apa pou Seyè a, yo ka wè pwent poto yo tèlman yo te long. Men, ou pa ka wè yo lòt kote ankò. Jouk koulye a poto yo la toujou.
9 There was nothing in the ark save the two tables of stone, which Moses had placed therein at Horeb, where the Lord made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.
Nan Bwat Kontra a pa t' gen pase de moso wòch plat Moyiz te mete ladan l' yo depi sou Mòn Orèb la. Se sou de wòch sa yo Seyè a te make kontra li te pase avèk moun pèp Izrayèl yo lè yo t'ap soti kite peyi Lejip.
10 And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of the Lord:
Lè prèt yo fè sa y'ap soti nan pyès apa pou Seyè a, nwaj la plen Tanp Seyè a nèt.
11 And the priests were not able to stand to minister because of the cloud; for the glory of the Lord had filled the house of the Lord.
Poutèt nwaj la prèt yo pa t' ka rete fè sèvis yo, paske limyè prezans Seyè a te plen Tanp lan nèt.
12 Then said Solomon, The Lord said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.
Lèfini, Salomon di konsa: -Seyè, ou di ou pito viv kote ki fè nwa.
13 I have indeed built a dwelling-house for thee, a settled place for thy abode for ever.
Koulye a, mwen bati yon tanp pou ou ka rete, yon kay kote ou pral viv pou tout tan.
14 And the king turned his face about, and blessed all the congregation of Israel; and all the congregation of Israel was standing;
Lèfini, wa a vire, li bay pèp Izrayèl la fas. Tout pèp la te kanpe. Li mande benediksyon Bondye pou pèp la, li di konsa:
15 And he said, Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth unto David my father, and hath with his hand fulfilled it, when he said,
-Lwanj pou Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la. Avèk fòs kouraj li, li kenbe pwomès li te fè David, papa m', lè li te di l' konsa:
16 Since the day that I brought forth my people Israel out of Egypt, I did not make choice of any city out of all the tribes of Israel to build a house, that my name might be therein; but I made choice of David to be over my people Israel.
Depi jou mwen te fè pèp mwen an soti kite peyi Lejip, mwen pa janm chwazi yon lavil nan tout peyi pèp Izrayèl la kote pou yo bati yon tanp ladan l' pou mwen rete. Men, mwen te chwazi David pou li gouvènen pèp mwen an, pèp Izrayèl la.
17 And it was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of the Lord, the God of Israel.
David, papa m', te fè lide bati yon tanp pou Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la.
18 But the Lord said unto David my father, Whereas it was in thy heart to build a house unto my name, thou didst well that it was in thy heart:
Men, Seyè a te di l': Ou byen fèt gen lide bati yon tanp pou mwen.
19 Nevertheless, thou shalt not thyself build the house; but thy son that shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house unto my name.
Men, se pa ou ki va bati l'. Se pwòp pitit gason w'ap fè a ki va bati Tanp lan pou mwen.
20 And the Lord hath fulfilled his word that he hath spoken: and I am risen up in the room of David my father, and I sit on the throne of Israel, as the Lord hath spoken, and I have built the house for the name of the Lord the God of Israel.
Koulye a, Seyè a kenbe pwomès li. Jan li te di l' la, se mwen ki nan plas David, papa m'. Mwen chita sou fotèy wa a Izrayèl la, mwen bati yon tanp pou Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la.
21 And I have assigned there a place for the ark, wherein is the covenant of the Lord, which he made with our fathers, when he brought them forth out of the land of Egypt.
Lèfini, mwen fè yon plas ladan l' pou Bwat Kontra Seyè a ki gen de moso wòch plat kote Seyè a te ekri kontra li te pase ak zansèt nou yo lè li te fè yo soti kite peyi Lejip.
22 And Solomon now placed himself before the altar of the Lord in the presence of all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven;
Apre sa, Salomon al kanpe devan lotèl Seyè a, devan tout pèp Izrayèl la, li leve de men l' anlè, li lapriyè Bondye,
23 And he said, O Lord, the God of Israel, there is no god like thee, in the heavens above, and on the earth beneath, thou who keepest the covenant and the kindness for thy servants that walk before thee with all their heart;
li di: -Seyè, ou menm ki Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, pa gen Bondye tankou ou ni nan syèl ni sou latè. Ou kenbe kontra ou te pase ak pèp ou a. Ou moutre jan ou renmen moun k'ap sèvi ou ak tout kè yo.
24 Who hast kept for thy servant David my father what thou hadst promised him; and thou spokest with thy mouth, and hast fulfilled it with thy hand, as it is this day.
Ou te kenbe pwomès ou te fè David, papa m' lan. Tou sa ou te di, ou fè l' rive vre jòdi a.
25 And now, O Lord, the God of Israel, keep for thy servant David my father what thou hast spoken concerning him, saying, There shall never fail thee a man in my sight who sitteth on the throne of Israel; if thy children but take heed to their way to walk before me, as thou hast walked before me.
Se poutèt sa, Seyè, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, m'ap mande ou pou ou kenbe lòt pwomès ou te fè David, papa m', sèvitè ou la, lè ou te di l' va toujou gen yonn nan pitit pitit li yo pou gouvènen pèp Izrayèl la, depi yo veye jan y'ap mache a pou yo mennen bak yo devan ou jan li menm li te fè l' la.
26 And now, O God of Israel, I pray thee, let thy word be verified, which thou hast spoken unto thy servant David my father.
Se konsa, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, tanpri, fè tout bagay rive jan ou te fè pwomès la bay David, papa m', sèvitè ou la.
27 For in truth will God then dwell on the earth? behold, the heavens and the heavens of heavens cannot contain thee: how much less then this house that I have built!
Men, Bondye, èske ou ka rete tout bon sou latè? Ata syèl la pa laj ase pou l' kenbe ou. Ale wè pou ti kay mwen bati pou ou la a!
28 Yet wilt thou turn thy regard unto the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplication, O Lord my God, to listen unto the entreaty and unto the prayer, which thy servant prayeth before thee today;
Seyè, Bondye m', tanpri, se sèvitè ou mwen ye. Tanpri, tande jan m'ap lapriyè ou. Koute jan m'ap rele nan pye ou jòdi a.
29 That thy eyes may be open toward this house night and day, toward the place of which thou hast said, My name shall be there; that thou mayest listen unto the prayer which thy servant shall pray at this place.
Lajounen kou lannwit, voye je ou sou Tanp lan, Tanp kote ou te di w'ap toujou la a. Koute lapriyè mwen menm, sèvitè ou la, m'ap fè nan pye ou la a.
30 And listen thou to the supplication of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, which they will pray at this place: and oh, do thou hear in heaven thy dwelling-place; and hear, and forgive.
Wi, koute lapriyè m'ap fè ak lapriyè pèp Izrayèl ou a ap fè nan pye ou isit la. Nan syèl kote ou rete a, koute lapriyè nou, padonnen nou.
31 If any man trespass against his neighbor, and an oath be laid upon him to cause him to swear, and the oath come before thy altar in this house:
Lè yo pote plent pou yon moun ki fè frè l' yon bagay mal, si yo mande l' pou l' fè sèman se pa vre, epi li vin fè sèman an devan lotèl ou a, nan tanp sa a,
32 Then do thou hear in heaven, and act, and judge thy servants, by condemning the wicked, to bring his way upon his head; and by justifying the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness.
ou menm, Seyè ki nan syèl la, w'a tande, w'a fè sa ki gen pou fèt la, w'a jije sèvitè ou yo. W'a pini moun ki koupab la, w'a fè chatiman li merite a tonbe sou tèt li. W'a fè rekonèt lè yon moun inonsan pou yo ka rann li jistis.
33 When thy people Israel are struck down before the enemy, because they have sinned against thee, and they return then to thee, and confess thy name, and pray, and make supplication unto thee in this house:
Lè lènmi va bat pèp Izrayèl la paske pèp la te peche kont ou, Bondye, si yo tounen vin jwenn ou, si yo fè lwanj pou ou, si yo vin lapriyè nan pye ou isit nan Tanp sa a,
34 Then do thou hear in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and cause them to return unto the land which thou hast given unto their fathers.
tanpri, kote ou ye nan syèl la, koute yo. Padonnen peche pèp Izrayèl ou a, fè yo tounen nan peyi ou te bay zansèt yo a.
35 When the heavens be shut up, and there be no rain, because they have sinned against thee, and they pray toward this place, and confess thy name, and turn from their sin, because thou hast afflicted them:
Lè va gen chechrès nan peyi a san yon ti degout lapli paske pèp la te peche kont ou, si yo règrèt sa yo te fè a paske ou te pini yo, si yo vin lapriyè isit la, si yo rele non ou,
36 Then do thou hear in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy servants, and of thy people Israel; for thou wilt teach them the good way wherein they should walk; and give then rain upon thy land, which thou hast given to thy people for an inheritance.
tanpri, kote ou ye nan syèl la, koute yo. Padonnen peche wa a ansanm ak peche pèp Izrayèl la. Moutre yo bon chemen pou yo pran an. Apre sa, Seyè, w'a voye lapli sou peyi ou te bay pèp ou a pou rele l' pa l' la.
37 If there be a famine in the land, if there be pestilence, blasting, mildew, or if there be locust, caterpillar, if their enemy besiege them in the land of their gates; at whatsoever plague, whatsoever sickness;
Lè va gen grangou nan peyi a, osinon lè move maladi lapès va tonbe sou li, lè plant yo va cheche nan van cho, lè krikèt ak chwal bondye va ravaje jaden yo, lè lènmi va sènen lavil nou yo pou atake pèp la, lè nenpòt maladi osinon nenpòt malè va tonbe sou pèp la,
38 What prayer and supplication soever be made by any man, of all thy people Israel, when they shall be conscious every man of the plague of his own heart, and he then spread forth his hands toward this house:
koute lapriyè y'ap fè nan pye ou. Lè nenpòt moun osinon tout pèp la va lapriyè nan pye ou, lè y'a règrèt sa yo fè a, lè y'a leve men yo nan direksyon Tanp lan pou yo lapriyè ou,
39 Then do thou hear in heaven the place of thy dwelling, and forgive, and act, and give to every man in accordance with all his ways, as thou mayest know his heart; for thou, thyself alone, knowest the heart of all the children of men;
tanpri, koute lapriyè yo, kote ou ye nan syèl kote ou rete a, padonnen yo, fè sa ou gen pou fè a. Bay chak moun sa yo merite, paske ou konnen sa ki nan kè yo chak. Se ou menm sèlman ki konnen sa ki nan fon kè moun.
40 In order that they may fear thee all the days that they live on the face of the land which thou hast given unto our fathers.
Wi, w'a bay chak moun sa yo merite, konsa pèp ou a va gen krentif pou ou pandan tout tan y'ap viv sou tè ou te bay zansèt nou yo.
41 But also to the stranger, who is not of thy people Israel, but cometh out of a far-off country for the sake of thy name;
Menm lè yon moun lòt nasyon ki pa fè pati pèp ou a soti byen lwen vini isit la poutèt ou,
42 For they will hear of thy great name, and of thy strong hand, and of thy outstretched arm; when he will come and pray at this house:
paske li tande jan y'ap nonmen non ou, li tande pale tout bèl bagay w'ap fè avèk fòs kouraj ou, si li vin lapriyè nan tanp sa a,
43 Mayest thou listen in heaven the place of thy dwelling, and do according to all that the stranger will call on thee for; in order that all the nations of the earth may know thy name, to fear thee, as [do] thy people Israel; and that they may understand that this house, which I have built, is called by thy name.
tanpri, nan syèl kote ou rete a, koute lapriyè li. W'a fè pou li tou sa li mande ou. Konsa tout pèp sou latè va konnen ou. y'a gen krentif pou ou tankou pèp Izrayèl ou a gen krentif pou ou. y'a konnen Tanp mwen bati pou ou a, se la pou yo vin adore ou.
44 If thy people go out to battle against their enemy, on the way on which thou mayest send them, and they do pray unto the Lord in the direction of the city which thou hast chosen, and of the house that I have built for thy name:
Lè pèp ou a va pati al goumen ak lènmi l' yo, nenpòt ki bò w'a voye yo, lè y'a vire tèt yo nan direksyon lavil ou chwazi a ak nan direksyon Tanp mwen bati pou ou a pou yo lapriyè nan pye ou,
45 Then hear thou in heaven their prayer and their supplication, and procure them justice.
tanpri, nan syèl kote ou rete a, koute lapriyè yo. Koute lapriyè y'ap fè nan pye ou, defann kòz yo.
46 If they sin against thee, [for there is no man that may not sin, ] and thou be angry with them, and give them up before the enemy, so that their captors carry them away captive unto the land of the enemy, [be it] far or near;
Lè pèp ou a va peche kont ou, paske pa gen moun ki pa fè peche, lè w'a move sou yo, w'a lage yo nan men lènmi yo ki va fè yo prizonye, ki va depòte yo nan lòt peyi, li te mèt toupre, li te mèt byen lwen,
47 And if they then take it to their heart in the land whither they have been carried captive, and repent, and make supplication unto thee in the land of their captors, saying, We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, we have acted wickedly;
antan yo la nan peyi kote lènmi yo te depòte yo a, si yo règrèt sa yo te fè, si yo lapriyè nan pye ou, si yo rekonèt yo te fè sa ki mal, si yo rekonèt yo te peche, si yo rekonèt yo antò,
48 And they return unto thee with all their heart, and with all their soul, in the land of their enemies, who have led them away captive, and they pray unto thee in the direction of their land, which thou hast given unto their fathers, of the city which thou hast chosen, and of the house which I have built for thy name:
si yo tounen vin jwenn ou ak tout kè yo ak tout nanm yo, antan yo nan peyi kote lènmi te depòte yo a, si yo vire tèt yo nan direksyon peyi ou te bay zansèt yo a, nan direksyon lavil ou te chwazi a, nan direksyon Tanp mwen bati pou ou a pou yo lapriyè nan pye ou,
49 Then hear thou in heaven the place of thy dwelling their prayer and their supplication, and procure them justice;
tanpri, koute lapriyè y'ap fè nan pye ou, kote ou ye nan syèl kote ou rete a. Koute lapriyè yo, defann kòz yo.
50 And forgive thy people for what they have sinned against thee, and all their transgressions whereby they have transgressed against thee, and cause them to find mercy before their captors, that they may have mercy on them;
Padonnen pèp ou a tout peche yo te fè kont ou, tout vire do yo te vire do ba ou. W'a fè lènmi ki te depòte yo gen pitye pou yo.
51 For they are thy people, and thy heritage, whom thou hast brought forth out of Egypt, from the midst of the iron furnace;
Paske, se pèp ki rele ou pa ou la yo ye, pèp ou menm ou te fè soti kite peyi Lejip ki te pou yo tankou yon gwo fou dife kote yo fonn fè.
52 That thy eyes may be open unto the supplication of thy servant, and unto the supplication of thy people Israel, to listen unto them in all for which they call unto thee;
Seyè, Bondye, louvri je ou! Koute lapriyè mwen menm, sèvitè ou, m'ap fè nan pye ou ansanm ak tout pèp Izrayèl la, chak fwa n'ap rele pou mande ou sekou.
53 For thou hast separated them unto thee as a heritage from all the people of the earth, as thou spokest by the hand of Moses thy servant, when thou broughtest forth our fathers out of Egypt, O Lord Eternal.
Se ou menm ki te chwazi nou nan mitan tout lòt pèp sou latè pou nou te ka rele ou pa ou, jan ou te di l' nan bouch Moyiz, sèvitè ou la, lè ou te fè zansèt nou yo soti kite peyi Lejip.
54 And it happened, that, when Solomon had made an end of praying all this prayer and supplication unto the Lord, he arose from before the altar of the Lord from kneeling on his knees, with his hands spread out toward heaven.
Pandan Salomon t'ap fè lapriyè sa a nan pye Bondye, li te ajenou devan lotèl la, de bra leve anlè. Lè li fini, li leve.
55 And he stood up, and blessed all the congregation of Israel with a loud voice, saying,
Li kanpe, li mande Bondye pou l' voye benediksyon l' sou tout pèp Izrayèl la ki te sanble la a. Li pale byen fò, li di:
56 Blessed be the Lord, who hath given rest unto his people Israel, in accordance with all that he hath spoken: [so that] there hath not failed one word of all his good promise, which he spoke by the hand of Moses his servant.
-Lwanj pou Seyè a ki bay pèp Izrayèl la kè poze, jan li te pwomèt la. Li kenbe tout bèl pwomès li te fè nan bouch Moyiz, sèvitè l' la.
57 The Lord our God be with us, as he was with our fathers; oh may he not leave us, nor forsake us;
Koulye a, mwen mande pou Seyè a, Bondye nou an, toujou kanpe la avèk nou jan li te toujou kanpe la ak zansèt nou yo. Mwen mande l' pou l' pa janm lage nou, pou l' pa janm bliye nou.
58 That he may incline our heart unto him, to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and his statutes, and his ordinances, which he commanded our fathers.
Se pou li fè nou pa janm bliye l' pou nou ka toujou fè volonte l' nan tout sa n'ap fè, pou nou kenbe lòd, prensip ak kòmandman li te bay zansèt nou yo.
59 And may these my words, wherewith I have made supplication before the Lord, be nigh unto the Lord our God day and night, that he may maintain the cause of his servant, and the cause of his people Israel in their daily requirements;
Se pou Seyè a, Bondye nou an, pa janm bliye lapriyè sa yo mwen sot fè nan pye l' la. Se pou l' toujou gen pitye pou pèp Izrayèl la ansanm ak wa a, sèvitè li a, dapre sa y'a bezwen chak jou.
60 In order that all the nations of the earth may know that the Lord is the [true] God, and none else.
Konsa, tout nasyon sou latè va konnen se Seyè a sèl ki Bondye. Pa gen lòt!
61 Let your heart therefore be entire with the Lord our God, to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as at this day.
Se pou nou toujou kenbe pye Seyè a, Bondye nou an, fèm. Se pou nou mache dapre lòd li ban nou, pou nou fè tou sa li mande nou fè tankou jòdi a.
62 And the king, and all Israel with him, offered sacrifices before the Lord.
Apre sa, wa Salomon ansanm ak tout pèp Izrayèl ki te la a ofri bèt pou touye pou Seyè a.
63 And Solomon offered [as] the sacrifice of peace-offering which he offered unto the Lord, two and twenty thousand oxen, and a hundred and twenty thousand sheep. And thus did the king and all the children of Israel dedicate the house of the Lord.
Salomon te ofri venndemil (22.000) towo ak sanvenmil (120.000) mouton pou mande Bondye padon. Se konsa wa a ansanm ak tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo te mete Tanp lan apa pou Seyè a.
64 On the same day did the king hallow the interior of the court that was before the house of the Lord; for he prepared there the burnt-offerings, and the meat-offerings, and the fat of the peace-offerings; because the copper altar that was before the Lord was too small to contain the burnt-offerings, and the meat-offerings, and the fat of the peace-offerings.
Menm jou a, li mete mitan gwo lakou ki devan Tanp Seyè a apa pou Bondye. Lèfini, se la li ofri bèt pou boule nèt pou Seyè a, grenn jaden ak grès bèt yo te touye pou mande Bondye padon, paske lotèl kwiv ki devan Tanp lan te twò piti pou pran tout ofrann sa yo.
65 And Solomon held at that time the feast, and all Israel with him, a great assembly, from the entrance of Chamath unto the river of Egypt, before the Lord our God, seven days and seven days, even fourteen days.
Lè sa a, Salomon ansanm ak tout pèp Izrayèl la fete Fèt Joupa yo pandan sèt jou. Foul moun te soti depi Pas Amat la nan nò jouk sou fwontyè ak peyi Lejip la nan sid, yo vin fete fèt la pandan sèt jou. Lèfini, yo fete pandan sèt jou ankò. Sa te fè antou katòz jou.
66 On the eighth day he dismissed the people, and they blessed the king; and they went unto their tents joyful and glad of heart, because of all the good that the Lord had done for David his servant, and for Israel his people.
Sou wityèm jou a, Salomon voye tout moun tounen lakay yo. Yo tout t'ap fè lwanj li, y' al lakay yo ak kè kontan, paske sa te fè yo plezi pou wè tout benediksyon Seyè a te bay David, sèvitè l' la, ansanm ak pèp Izrayèl li a.
