2 Chronicles 6

1 Then Solomon said, “YHWH said [He would] dwell in thick darkness,

Epi Salomon te di: “SENYÈ a te di ke Li ta abite nan nwaj fonse a.

2 and I have built a house of habitation for You, and a fixed place for Your dwelling for all ages.”

Mwen te bati yon kay byen wo ak yon plas pou abitasyon pa W Jis pou tout tan.”

3 And the king turns around his face, and blesses the whole assembly of Israel, and the whole assembly of Israel is standing,

Konsa, wa a te vire fas li pou te beni tout asanble Israël la pandan tout asanble a te kanpe.

4 and he says, “Blessed [is] YHWH, God of Israel, who has spoken with His mouth with my father David, and with His hands has fulfilled [it], 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 that I brought out My people from the land of Egypt, I have not fixed on a city out of any of the tribes of Israel to build a house for my name being there, and I have not fixed on a man to be 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 and I fix on Jerusalem for My Name being there, and I fix on 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 is with the heart of my father David to build a house for the Name of YHWH God of Israel,

Alò, li te nan kè a papa m, David, pou bati yon kay pou non SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la.

8 and YHWH says to my father David, Because that it has been with your heart to build a house for My Name, you have done well that it has been with 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 but you do not build the house, for your son who comes forth out from your loins, he builds 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 YHWH establishes His word that He spoke, and I rise up in the stead of my father David, and sit on the throne of Israel, as YHWH spoke, and I build the house for the Name of YHWH, 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 place the Ark there, where the covenant of YHWH [is] that He made with the sons of 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 stands before the altar of YHWH, in front of all the assembly of Israel, and spreads out his hand—

Konsa, li te kanpe devan lotèl SENYÈ a nan prezans a tout asanble Israël la, e li te lonje men li.

13 for Solomon has made a scaffold of bronze, and puts it in the midst of the court, five cubits its length, and five cubits its breadth, and three cubits its height, and he stands on it, and kneels on his knees in front of all the assembly of Israel, and spreads forth his hands toward the heavens—

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 says, “O YHWH God of Israel, there is not like You a god in the heavens and in the earth, keeping the covenant and the kindness for Your servants who are walking before You with all their 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 who has kept for Your servant, my father David, that which You spoke to him; indeed, You speak with Your mouth, and with Your hand have fulfilled [it], as at 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, O YHWH, God of Israel, keep for Your servant, my father David, that which You spoke to him, saying, A man of yours is never cut off from before My face, sitting on the throne of Israel—only, if your sons watch their way to walk in My law, as you have walked 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, O YHWH, God of Israel, let Your word be steadfast that You have spoken to Your servant, to 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 is it true [that] God dwells with man on the earth? Behold, the heavens, and the heavens of the heavens, do not contain You, how much less this house that 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 And You have turned to the prayer of Your servant, and to his supplication, O YHWH my God, to listen to the cry and to the prayer that Your servant is praying before You,

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 for Your eyes being open toward this house by day and by night, toward the place that You have said to put Your Name there, to listen to the prayer that Your servant prays toward this place.

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 have listened to the supplications of Your servant, and of Your people Israel, that they pray toward this place, and You hear from the place of Your dwelling, from the heavens, and have listened, and forgiven.

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 sins against his neighbor, and he has lifted up an oath on him to cause him to swear, and the oath has come in before Your 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 You hear from the heavens, and have done, and have judged Your servants, to give back to the wicked, to put his way on his head, and to declare righteous the righteous, to give to 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 is struck before an enemy because they sin against You, and they have turned back and confessed Your Name, and prayed and made 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 You hear from the heavens and have forgiven the sin of Your people Israel, and caused them to return to the ground that You have given 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 In the heavens being restrained and there is no rain because they sin against You, and they have prayed toward this place and confessed Your Name, [and] they turn back from their sin because You 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 You hear in the heavens, and have forgiven the sin of Your servants, and of Your people Israel, because You direct them to the good way in which they walk, and have given rain on Your land that You have given 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 Famine, when it is in the land, [and] pestilence, when it is [in the land], blasting and mildew, locust and caterpillar, when they are [in the land], when its enemies have distressed it in the land—its gates, any plague and any sickness;

“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 any prayer, any supplication that is for any man, and for all Your people Israel, when they each know his own plague, and his own pain, and he has spread out 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 You hear from the heavens, the settled place of Your dwelling, and have forgiven, and have given to each according to all his ways (because You know his heart, for You alone have known the heart of the sons 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 so that they fear You, to walk in Your ways, all the days that they are living on the face of the ground that You have given 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 also, to the stranger who is not of Your people Israel, and he has come from a far-off land for the sake of Your great Name, and Your strong hand, and Your outstretched arm, and they have come in and prayed toward this house—

“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 You hear from the heavens, from the settled place of Your dwelling, and have done according to all that the stranger calls to You for, so that all the peoples of the earth know Your Name, so as to fear You, as Your people Israel, and to know that Your Name is called on this house that 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 When Your people go out to battle against its enemies in the way that You send them, and they have prayed to You [in] the way of this city that You have fixed on, and the house that I have built for 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 You have heard their prayer and their supplication from the heavens, and have maintained their cause.

nan lè sa a, koute lapriyè yo soti nan syèl la avèk siplikasyon yo, e bay soutyen a koz pa yo.

36 When they sin against You—for there is not a man who does not sin—and You have been angry with them, and have given them before an enemy, and their captors have taken them captive 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 they have turned [it] back to their heart in the land to where they have been taken captive, and have turned back and made supplication to You in the land of their captivity, saying, We have sinned, we have done perversely, and have done wickedly;

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 indeed, they have turned back to You with all their heart, and with all their soul, in the land of their captivity, to where they have taken them captive, and they have prayed [in] the way of their land that You have given to their fathers, and of the city that You have chosen, and of the house that I have built for 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 You have heard from the heavens, from the settled place of Your dwelling, their prayer and their supplications, and have maintained their cause, and forgiven Your people who have sinned 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 Now my God, I implore You, let Your eyes be open and Your ears attentive to the prayer of 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, rise, O YHWH God, to Your rest, You and the Ark of Your strength; Your priests, O YHWH God, are clothed with salvation, and Your saints rejoice in the goodness.

“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 YHWH God, do not turn back the face of Your anointed, be mindful of the kind acts 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.”
