1 Chronicles 16
1 They brought in the ark of God, and set it in the midst of the tent that David had set up for it: and they offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before God.
Yo pote Bwat Kontra Seyè a, yo mete l' nan plas li nan tant David te moute pou li a. Apre sa, yo ofri bèt pou boule nèt pou Bondye, ak ofrann pou di Bondye mèsi.
2 When David had made an end of offering the burnt offering and the peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the LORD.
Lè David fin fè ofrann sa yo, li beni pèp la nan non Seyè a.
3 He dealt to everyone of Israel, both man and woman, to every one a loaf of bread, and a portion of meat, and a cake of raisins.
Li separe manje bay tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo, fanm kou gason. Li bay yo chak yon pen, yon moso vyann woti ak yon pen rezen.
4 He appointed certain of the Levites to minister before the ark of the LORD, and to celebrate and to thank and praise the LORD, the God of Israel:
David chwazi kèk moun Levi pou reskonsab sèvis y'ap fè devan Bwat Kontra a pou Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, pou adore l', pou di l' mèsi, pou fè lwanj li.
5 Asaph the chief, and second to him Zechariah, Jaaziel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Mattithiah, and Eliab, and Benaiah, and Obed-Edom, and Jeiel, with stringed instruments and with harps; and Asaph with cymbals, sounding aloud;
Li mete Asaf chèf ak Zakari pou vin apre li. Sou zòd yo te gen Aziyèl, Chemiramòt, Jekiyèl, Matitya, Eliyab, Benaja, Obèd-Edon, Jeyèl pou jwe enstriman mizik yo, gita ak bandjo. Asaf menm t'ap bat senbal ki fè gwo bri yo.
6 and Benaiah and Jahaziel the cohanim with trumpets continually, before the ark of the covenant of God.
Se Benaja ak Jaziyèl, prèt yo, ki te pou kònen twonpèt devan Bwat Kontra Bondye a tout tan.
7 Then on that day David first ordained to give thanks to the LORD, by the hand of Asaph and his brothers.
Se lè sa a, pou premye fwa, David te bay Asaf ak lòt moun Levi yo reskonsablite pou yo fè lwanj Seyè a.
8 Oh give thanks to the LORD. Call on his name. Make his deeds known among the peoples.
Lwanj pou Seyè a! Fè konnen jan li gen pouvwa! Fè nasyon yo konnen sa li fè!
9 Sing to him. Sing praises to him. Tell of all his marvelous works.
Chante pou li! Fè lwanj li! Rakonte tout bèl bagay li te fè yo.
10 Glory in his holy name. Let the heart of those who seek the LORD rejoice.
Fè kè nou kontan, paske nou se moun pa l'. Wi, se pou tout moun k'ap sèvi Seyè a fè fèt.
11 Seek the LORD and his strength. Seek his face forever more.
Ale jwenn Seyè a pou l' ka ede nou. Toujou chache rete devan li.
12 Remember his marvelous works that he has done, his wonders, and the judgments of his mouth,
Chonje mirak ak bèl bagay li te fè yo. Chonje jijman ki te soti nan bouch li,
13 you offspring of Israel his servant, you descendants of Jacob, his chosen ones.
Nou menm, pitit pitit Izrayèl, sèvitè Bondye a, Nou menm, pitit pitit Jakòb yo, nou menm Bondye chwazi yo.
14 He is the LORD our God. His judgments are in all the earth.
Seyè a, se Bondye nou li ye. Lè li pase yon lòd, se pou tout latè.
15 Remember his covenant forever, the word which he commanded to a thousand generations,
Toujou chonje kontra li a. L'ap kenbe pwomès li pou tout tan tout tan.
16 the covenant which he made with Abraham, his oath to Isaac.
Se kontra li te fè ak Abraram lan, sèman li te fè bay Izarak la.
17 He confirmed the same to Jacob for a statute, and to Israel for an everlasting covenant,
Sa li te pwomèt Abraram lan, li fè l' tounen yon lwa pou pitit Jakòb yo, yon kontra ak pèp Izrayèl la pou tout tan.
18 saying, "I will give you the land of Canaan, The lot of your inheritance,"
Li te di: M'ap ba ou peyi Kanaran an pou pòsyon pa ou nan byen m' yo.
19 when you were but a few men in number, yes, very few, and foreigners were in it.
Lè sa a, pèp Bondye a pa t' anpil. Yo te sèlman yon ti ponyen moun. Yo te tankou etranje toujou nan peyi a.
20 They went about from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another people.
Yo t'ap mache ale vini nan tout nasyon yo. Yo t'ap soti nan yon peyi ale nan yon lòt.
21 He allowed no man to do them wrong. Yes, he reproved kings for their sakes,
Men, li pa t' kite pesonn maltrete yo. Li te menm rive pini anpil wa poutèt yo.
22 "Do not touch my anointed ones. Do my prophets no harm."
Li te di: Piga nou manyen moun mwen chwazi yo. Piga nou fè pwofèt mwen yo anyen.
23 Sing to the LORD, all the earth. Display his salvation from day to day.
Nou tout ki rete sou latè, chante pou Seyè a! Chak jou, fè konnen jan li delivre nou.
24 Declare his glory among the nations, and his marvelous works among all the peoples.
Fè nasyon yo konnen pouvwa li. Fè tout pèp yo konnen bèl bagay li fè yo.
25 For great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised. He also is to be feared above all gods.
Seyè a gen gwo pouvwa. Li merite pou yo fè lwanj li vre. Se pou tout moun pè l' pi plis pase lòt bondye yo.
26 For all the gods of the peoples are idols, but the LORD made the heavens.
Bondye lòt nasyon yo pa anyen, se pòtre yo ye. Men, se Seyè a ki fè syèl la.
27 Honor and majesty are before him. Strength and gladness are in his place.
Devan li, se respè, se chapo ba. Gen pouvwa, gen kè kontan kote l' ye lakay li a.
28 Ascribe to the LORD, you relatives of the peoples, ascribe to the LORD glory and strength.
Nou tout pèp ki sou latè, fè lwanj Seyè a! Fè lwanj Seyè a pou pouvwa ak fòs li genyen!
29 Ascribe to the LORD the glory due to his name. Bring an offering, and come before him. Worship the LORD in holy array.
Fè lwanj Seyè a, paske li merite sa! Pote ofrann ba li anndan lakay li! Adore Bondye nan bèl kay ki apa pou li a!
30 Tremble before him, all the earth. The world also is established that it can't be moved.
Nou tout ki sou latè, tranble devan li. Latè kanpe fèm, anyen pa ka brannen l'.
31 Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice. Let them say among the nations, "The LORD reigns."
Se pou syèl la kontan, se pou latè a fè fèt. Mache di nan tout peyi yo: Se Seyè a ki sèl wa.
32 Let the sea roar, and its fullness. Let the field exult, and all that is in it.
Se pou lanmè a ansanm ak tou sa ki ladan l' pran fè bri sitèlman yo kontan. Se pou jaden yo ak tou sa ki ladan yo fè fèt.
33 Then the trees of the forest will sing for joy before the LORD, for he comes to judge the earth.
Lè Seyè a parèt se pou tout pyebwa nan gwo rak yo rele sitèlman yo kontan. Paske l'ap vini pou l' jije tout moun ki sou latè.
34 Oh give thanks to the LORD, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever.
Lwanj pou Seyè a paske li bon. Li p'ap janm sispann renmen nou.
35 Say, "Save us, God of our salvation. Gather us together and deliver us from the nations, to give thanks to your holy name, to triumph in your praise."
Se pou nou di: Delivre nou non, Bondye delivrans nou! Fè nou soti nan tout peyi kote nou gaye yo. Sanble nou, pou nou ka di ou mèsi pou tout bagay ou menm sèl ka fè, pou nou ka kontan lè n'ap fè lwanj ou.
36 Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, from everlasting to everlasting. And all the people said, "Amen," and praised the LORD.
Ann fè lwanj Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la! Ann fè lwanj li depi tout tan ak pou tout tan. Epi tout pèp la pran reponn: -Wi, se vre! Lwanj pou Seyè a!
37 So he left there, before the ark of the covenant of the LORD, Asaph and his brothers, to minister before the ark continually, as every day's work required;
Lèfini, David kite Asaf ak moun Levi menm fanmi avè l' yo devan Bwat Kontra Seyè a pou yo toujou reskonsab tout sèvis ki pou fèt kote yo te mete Bwat Kontra a. Yo te gen pou fè sèvis yo la chak jou san rete.
38 and Obed-Edom with their brothers, sixty-eight; Obed-Edom also the son of Jeduthun and Hosah to be doorkeepers;
Obèd-Edon ak swasantwit lòt moun nan fanmi li t'ap ede yo nan travay yo. Osa ak Obèd-Edon, pitit gason Jeditoun lan, te reskonsab pòtay yo.
39 and Zadok the cohen, and his brothers the cohanim, before the tabernacle of the LORD in the high place that was at Gibeon,
Men David kite Zadòk, prèt la, ak moun Levi menm fanmi avè l' yo ki te prèt tou devan Tant Seyè a, nan kote yo te mete apa pou Seyè a lavil Gabawon.
40 to offer burnt offerings to the LORD on the altar of burnt offering continually morning and evening, even according to all that is written in the law of the LORD, which he commanded to Israel;
Chak maten, chak aswè, se yo ki pou boule bèt yo ofri bay Seyè a nèt sou lotèl ki fèt pou sa a, dapre sa ki ekri nan lalwa Seyè a te bay pèp Izrayèl la.
41 and with them Heman and Jeduthun, and the rest who were chosen, who were mentioned by name, to give thanks to the LORD, because his loving kindness endures forever;
Te gen avèk yo tou Eyman, Jedoutoun ansanm ak lòt moun yo te chwazi tout espre pou chante: Lwanj pou Seyè a paske li p'ap janm sispann renmen nou.
42 and with them Heman and Jeduthun with trumpets and cymbals for those that should sound aloud, and with instruments for the songs of God; and the sons of Jeduthun to be at the gate.
Eyman ak Jedoutoun te gen twonpèt, senbal ki fè gwo bri yo ak lòt enstriman mizik pou yo jwe antan yo t'ap chante fè lwanj pou Bondye. Manm fanmi Jedoutoun yo te reskonsab veye pòtay yo.
43 All the people departed every man to his house: and David returned to bless his house.
Apre sa, tout pèp la tounen lakay yo. David tounen lakay li tou pou l' beni fanmi pa l' tou.
