2 Samuel 7
1 And it comes to pass, when the king sat in his house, and YHWH has given rest to him all around, from all his enemies,
Wa David te byen chita nan palè li. Seyè a te pwoteje l', li te fè tout lènmi ki te alantou peyi a pa chache l' kont ankò.
2 that the king says to Nathan the prophet, “Now see, I am dwelling in a house of cedars, but the Ark of God is dwelling in the midst of the curtain.”
Wa a pale ak pwofèt Natan, li di l' konsa: -Gade! Mwen rete nan yon kay bati ak bwa sèd, men Bwat Kontra Seyè a se anba yon kay twal li ye.
3 And Nathan says to the king, “All that [is] in your heart—go, do, for YHWH [is] with you.”
Natan reponn li: -Tou sa ou gen lide fè, ou mèt fè l', paske Seyè a kanpe la avè ou.
4 And it comes to pass in that night, that the word of YHWH is to Nathan, saying,
Men, menm jou lannwit sa a, Seyè a pale ak Natan, li di l' konsa:
5 “Go, and you have said to My servant, to David, Thus said YHWH: Do you build for Me a house for My dwelling in?
-Ale di David, sèvitè m' lan, men sa mwen menm Seyè a, mwen voye di l': Se pa ou menm ki pral bati yon tanp pou m' rete.
6 For I have not dwelt in a house even from the day of My bringing up the sons of Israel out of Egypt, even to this day, and am walking up and down in a tent and in a dwelling place.
Depi jou mwen te fè moun pèp Izrayèl yo soti kite peyi Lejip rive jòdi a, mwen pa janm rete nan yon kay. Tout kote m' pase se anba yon tant twal mwen toujou ye.
7 During all [the time] that I have walked up and down among all the sons of Israel, have I spoken a word with one of the tribes of Israel, which I commanded to feed my people Israel, saying, Why have you not built a house of cedars for Me?
Nan tout deplase mwen ansanm ak moun Izrayèl yo, mwen pa janm mande yonn nan chèf mwen te chwazi pou gouvènen pèp mwen an poukisa yo pa bati yon kay an bwa sèd pou mwen.
8 And now, thus you say to My servant, to David, Thus said YHWH of Hosts: I have taken you from the pasture, from after the flock, to be leader over My people, over Israel;
Koulye a, men sa w'a di David, sèvitè m' lan: Men sa Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a voye di ou: Se mwen menm ki te pran ou dèyè mouton ou t'ap gade nan savann yo, mwen mete ou chèf pèp mwen an.
9 and I am with you wherever you have gone, and I cut off all your enemies from your presence, and have made a great name for you, as the name of the great ones who [are] in the earth,
Nan tou sa ou t'ap fè, mwen te kanpe la avè ou. Mwen kraze tout lènmi ou yo devan ou. Mwen pral fè yo nonmen non ou tankou y'ap nonmen non pi gwo chèf ki sou latè.
10 and I have appointed a place for My people, for Israel, and have planted it, and it has dwelt in its place, and it is not troubled anymore, and the sons of perverseness do not add to afflict it anymore, as in the beginning,
Lèfini, mwen pare yon kote pou pèp Izrayèl mwen an. Mwen pral tabli yo la pou yo ka viv san yo pa bezwen pè anyen ankò. Mechan yo p'ap vin maltrete yo ankò jan yo te konn fè l' anvan an,
11 even from the day that I appointed judges over My people Israel; and I have given rest to you from all your enemies, and YHWH has declared to you that YHWH makes a house for you.
lè mwen te mete jij yo pou gouvènen pèp Izrayèl mwen an. M'ap delivre ou anba men tout lènmi ou yo. Mwen te fè ou konnen m'ap ba ou pitit ak pitit pitit.
12 When your days are full, and you have lain with your fathers, then I have raised up your seed after you which goes out from your bowels, and have established his kingdom;
Lè lè a va rive pou ou mouri, lè y'a antere ou, m'ap pran yonn nan pitit ou yo, m'ap mete l' wa nan plas ou. M'ap fè gouvènman l' lan kanpe fèm.
13 he builds a house for My Name, and I have established the throne of his kingdom for all time.
Se li menm ki va bati yon tanp pou mwen. M'ap fè gouvènman l' lan kanpe fèm pou tout tan.
14 I am to him for a father, and he is to Me for a son; whom in his dealing perversely I have even reproved with a rod of men, and with strokes of the sons of Adam,
M'ap yon papa pou li. Li menm l'ap yon pitit pou mwen. Si li fè sa ki mal, m'ap korije l' tankou yon papa korije pitit gason li.
15 and My kindness does not turn aside from him, as I turned it aside from Saul, whom I turned aside from before you,
Men, m'ap toujou soutni l', mwen p'ap lage l' jan mwen te lage Sayil lè mwen te kite l' tonbe pou m' te mete ou nan plas li.
16 and your house and your kingdom [are] steadfast before you for all time, your throne is established for all time.”
Ap toujou gen moun nan fanmi ou chita sou fotèy la ap gouvènen apre ou, paske m'ap fè gouvènman fanmi ou lan kanpe fèm pou tout tan.
17 According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so spoke Nathan to David.
Natan rakonte David tou sa Bondye te fè l' konnen nan vizyon an.
18 And King David comes in and sits before YHWH, and says, “Who [am] I, Lord YHWH? And what [is] my house, that You have brought me here?
Apre sa, wa David ale nan tanp lan, li chita devan Seyè a, li di l' konsa: -Seyè, Bondye sèl Mèt la, kisa mwen ye, kisa fanmi mwen ye pou ou te fè tou sa ou deja fè pou nou?
19 And yet this [is] little in Your eyes, Lord YHWH, and You also speak concerning the house of Your servant far off; and this [is] the law of the man, Lord YHWH.
Men ou wè sa pa kont toujou, Seyè, Bondye sèl Mèt la, kifè koulye a w'ap fè konnen sa ki pral rive fanmi mwen denmen nan lanne k'ap vini yo. Epi ou fè m' konn sa, mwen menm ki yon senp moun, Seyè, Bondye sèl Mèt la!
20 And what does David add more to speak to You? And You, You have known Your servant, Lord YHWH.
Kisa mwen menm David, mwen ka di ou, Seyè, apre sa? Ou konnen ki moun mwen ye, mwen menm k'ap sèvi ou la.
21 Because of Your word, and according to Your heart, You have done all this greatness, to cause Your servant to know [it].
Se paske ou te fè pwomès la, se paske ou te vle l' konsa, kifè ou te fè tout bèl bagay sa yo pou ou te fè m' konnen yo.
22 Therefore You have been great, YHWH God, for there is none like You, and there is no God except You, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
Seyè, Bondye mwen, ala gwo pouvwa ou la gwo! Pa gen tankou ou! Pa gen lòt Bondye pase ou menm! Yo te toujou di nou sa.
23 And who [is] as Your people, as Israel—one nation in the earth, whom God has gone to redeem for a people for Himself, and to make for Himself a name—and to do for Yourself the greatness—even fearful things for Your land, at the presence of Your people, whom You have redeemed for Yourself out of Egypt—[among the] nations and their gods?
Pa gen lòt nasyon sou latè tankou pèp Izrayèl la! Se ou menm ki delivre yo pou yo te ka tounen yon pèp ki rele ou pa ou. Se pou yo ase ou fè sa. Toupatou sou latè, y'ap nonmen non ou yo pou gwo mirak ak bèl bagay ou fè pou yo. Ou mete lòt nasyon deyò nan peyi ou la ansanm ak bondye yo pou fè plas pou pèp ou, pèp ou te delivre anba pouvwa pèp peyi Lejip la, pou yo te ka tounen pèp pa ou.
24 Indeed, You establish Your people Israel for Yourself, for a people for Yourself for all time, and You, YHWH, have been to them for God.
Ou fè pèp Izrayèl la tounen pèp pa ou pou tout tan, ou menm ou tounen Bondye yo.
25 And now, YHWH God, the word which You have spoken concerning Your servant, and concerning his house, establish for all time, and do as You have spoken.
Koulye a, Seyè, Bondye, se pou ou kenbe pwomès ou te fè sèvitè ou la ansanm ak fanmi li an. Se pou ou fè sa ou di w'ap fè a.
26 And Your Name is great for all time, saying, YHWH of Hosts [is] God over Israel, and the house of Your servant David is established before You,
Toupatou sou latè y'a toujou rekonnèt jan ou gen pouvwa. y'a di se Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a ki Bondye pèp Izrayèl la. Konsa, gouvènman ki nan men fanmi David, sèvitè ou la, va kanpe fèm pou tout tan anba pwoteksyon ou.
27 for You, YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel, have uncovered the ear of Your servant, saying, I build a house for you, therefore Your servant has found his heart to pray this prayer to You.
Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, se ou menm ki te fè m' konnen tou sa. Ou te di m', mwen menm sèvitè ou la, w'ap ban mwen yon fanmi, lèfini w'ap fè baton gouvènman an toujou rete nan men fanmi mwen. Se poutèt sa mwen gen kouraj fè lapriyè sa a nan pye ou.
28 And now, Lord YHWH, You [are] God Himself, and Your words are truth, and You speak this goodness to Your servant,
Koulye a, Seyè sèl Mèt, se ou ki Bondye tout bon an. Ou toujou kenbe pwomès ou yo. Gade bèl pawòl kè kontan ou di sèvitè ou la!
29 and now, begin and bless the house of Your servant, to be before You for all time, for You, Lord YHWH, have spoken, and by Your blessing the house of Your servant is blessed for all time.”
Tanpri, beni tout fanmi mwen apre mwen pou yo ka toujou anba pwoteksyon ou. Wi, Seyè sèl Mèt, ou te pwomèt mwen sa. Se pou ou toujou voye benediksyon ou sou fanmi mwen.
