< 1 Chronicles 22 >
1 Then David said, "This is the house of Jehovah God, and this is the altar of burnt offering for Israel."
Se konsa David te di: -Se la Tanp Bondye Seyè a ye, ansanm ak lotèl pou boule bèt yo ofri bay Bondye pou pèp Izrayèl la.
2 David gave orders to gather together the foreigners who were in the land of Israel; and he set masons to cut worked stones to build God's house.
David bay lòd pou tout moun lòt nasyon k'ap viv nan peyi Izrayèl la reyini. Li moute chantye kote pou taye wòch pou bati Tanp Bondye a.
3 David prepared iron in abundance for the nails for the doors of the gates, and for the couplings; and bronze in abundance without weight;
Li fè pare fè an kantite pou fè klou ak kranpon pou batan pòt yo. Pou kwiv la menm, moun pa ka kalkile kantite li te fè pare.
4 and cedar trees without number: for the Sidonians and they of Tyre brought cedar trees in abundance to David.
Pou bwa sèd, moun peyi Sidon ak moun lavil Tir te fè David jwenn sa an kantite.
5 David said, "Solomon my son is young and tender, and the house that is to be built for Jehovah must be exceedingly magnificent, of fame and of glory throughout all countries. I will therefore make preparation for it." So David prepared abundantly before his death.
David t'ap di nan kè l': Salomon, pitit gason m' lan, se yon timoun ki poko gen esperyans. Tanp li gen pou l' bati pou Seyè a, se li ki pou pi gwo, pi bèl pase dènye tanp, pou toupatou sou latè y'ap pale sou li. Se pou m' pare tout bagay kite pou li. Se konsa, anvan li mouri, David pare materyo an kantite kite la pou sa.
6 Then he called for Solomon his son, and commanded him to build a house for Jehovah, the God of Israel.
Lèfini, li voye chache Salomon, pitit gason l' lan, li ba li lòd pou li bati Tanp Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la.
7 David said to Solomon, "My son, as for me, it was in my heart to build a house to the name of Jehovah my God.
Li di l' konsa: -Pitit mwen, mwen te fè lide bati yon tanp pou Seyè a, Bondye mwen an.
8 But the word of Jehovah came to me, saying, 'You have shed blood abundantly, and have made great wars. You shall not build a house to my name, because you have shed much blood on the earth in my sight.
Men Seyè a fè m' konnen mwen touye twòp moun, mwen fè anpil lagè. Se poutèt sa se pa mwen ki pral bati tanp lan pou li, paske mwen fè twòp san koule.
9 Look, a son shall be born to you, who shall be a man of rest. I will give him rest from all his enemies all around; for his name shall be Solomon, and I will give peace and quietness to Israel in his days.
Men li di m' konsa: Ou pral gen yon pitit gason ki p'ap nan touye moun li menm. M'ap fè tout lènmi l' yo toupatou viv byen ak li tou. Se poutèt sa y'a rele l' Salomon. Sou rèy li, peyi Izrayèl la ap viv ak ke poze, san danje ni malè.
10 He shall build a house for my name; and he shall be my son, and I will be his father; and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel for ever.'
Se li menm ki va bati yon tanp pou mwen. L'ap yon pitit pou mwen, mwen menm m'ap yon papa pou li. M'ap fè l' toujou gen yon moun nan fanmi l' wa pou gouvènen pèp Izrayèl la.
11 Now, my son, may Jehovah be with you and prosper you, and build the house of Jehovah your God, as he has spoken concerning you.
Koulye a, pitit mwen, se pou Seyè a, Bondye w'ap sèvi a, toujou kanpe la avè ou pou ou ka rive bati Tanp lan pou li, jan li te pwomèt ou sa.
12 May Jehovah give you discretion and understanding, and put you in charge of Israel; that so you may keep the law of Jehovah your God.
Mwen mande Seyè a pou l' ba ou bon konprann ak anpil lespri, pou lè l'a mete ou chèf nan peyi Izrayèl la, ou ka toujou fè tou sa ki nan Lalwa Seyè a, Bondye ou la.
13 Then you will prosper, if you observe to do the statutes and the ordinances which Jehovah gave Moses concerning Israel. Be strong, and courageous. Do not be afraid, neither be dismayed.
Konsa, tout bagay va mache byen pou ou si ou veye kò ou pou ou mennen bak ou dapre lòd ak regleman Seyè a te bay Moyiz pou pèp Izrayèl la. Mete gason sou ou, kenbe fèm! Pa kite anyen fè ou pè.
14 Now, look, in my affliction I have prepared for the house of Jehovah one hundred thousand talents of gold, one million talents of silver, and bronze and iron without weight; for it is in abundance. I have also prepared timber and stone; and you may add to them.
Gade! Mwen bay kò m' anpil traka pou m' pare tout bagay pou Tanp Seyè a: twamil twasan (3.300) tòn lò, tranntwamil (33.000) tòn ajan, ak yon gwo kantite kwiv ak fè moun pa ka kalkile. M' pare bwa ak wòch tou. Men, se pou ou fè pare toujou.
15 There are also workmen with you in abundance, cutters and workers of stone and timber, and all kinds of men who are skillful in every kind of work:
Lèfini, w'ap jwenn anpil travayè, kantonye, moun pou taye wòch, chapant, ak anpil moun ki bòs nan tout kalite travay.
16 of the gold, the silver, and the bronze, and the iron, there is no number. Arise and be doing, and may Jehovah be with you."
Pou lò, ajan, kwiv ak fè, ou gen sa an kantite. Konsa, mete men nan travay la! Mwen mande pou Seyè a toujou kanpe la avè ou.
17 And David also commanded all the leaders of Israel to help Solomon his son, saying,
Apre sa, David mande tout chèf pèp Izrayèl yo pou yo ede Salomon, pitit gason l' lan.
18 "Isn't Jehovah your God with you? Hasn't he given you rest on every side? For he has delivered the inhabitants of the land into my hand; and the land is subdued before Jehovah, and before his people.
Li di yo konsa: -Seyè a, Bondye nou an, te toujou la avèk nou. Li fè nou viv nan lapè ak tout moun toupatou. Li lage nan men mwen tout lòt moun ki rete nan peyi a, kifè tout peyi a soumèt nèt devan Seyè a ak devan pèp li a.
19 Now set your heart and your soul to seek after Jehovah your God. Arise therefore, and build the sanctuary of Jehovah God, to bring the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, and the holy vessels of God, into the house that is to be built to the name of Jehovah."
Koulye a, se pou nou pran desizyon chache fè volonte Seyè a, Bondye nou an, ak tout kè nou, ak tout nanm nou. Pare kò nou pou nou bati tanp Seyè a, Bondye nou an, pou nou ka mete Bwat Kontra Seyè a ak tout lòt bagay yo mete apa pou fè sèvis Seyè a ladan l'.
