1 Kings 8
1 Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the princes of the fathers’ [houses] 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.
Alò, Salomon te rasanble ansyen Israël yo avèk tout tèt a tribi yo, chèf a fanmi zansèt a fis Israël yo, kote Wa Salomon Jérusalem, pou mennen fè montelach akò SENYÈ a soti nan lavil David ki Sion an.
2 And all the men of Israel assembled themselves unto king Solomon at the feast, in the month Ethanim, which is the seventh month.
Tout mesye Israël yo te rasanble yo menm kote ak Wa Salomon nan fèt la nan mwa Éthanim nan, ki se setyèm mwa a.
3 And all the elders of Israel came, and the priests took up the ark.
Tout ansyen Israël yo te vini, e prèt yo te leve pran lach la.
4 And they brought up the ark of the LORD, and the tent of meeting, and all the holy vessels that were in the Tent; even these did the priests and the Levites bring up.
Yo te mennen fè monte lach SENYÈ a, tant asanble a, avèk tout zouti sen ki te nan tant yo. Prèt yo avèk Levit yo te mennen fè yo monte.
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 avèk tout kongregasyon Israël la, ki te rasanble vè li, te avèk li devan lach la. Yo t ap fè sakrifis a yon tèlman gran kantite mouton avèk bèf ke yo pa t kab konte ni kontwole.
6 And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the LORD unto its place, into the oracle of the house, to the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubim.
Prèt yo te mennen lach akò SENYÈ a nan plas li. Yo te mete l nan sanktyè enteryè a kay la, nan plas ki sen pase tout lòt yo a, anba zèl a cheriben yo.
7 For the cherubim spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and the staves thereof above.
Cheriben yo te lonje zèl pa yo anwo plas lach la e yo te sèvi kon yon kouvèti sou lach la avèk poto li yo soti anwo.
8 And the staves were so long that the ends of the staves were seen from the holy place before the oracle; but they were not seen without: and there they are, unto this day.
Men poto yo te tèlman long ke pwent poto yo te vizib sèlman soti nan lye sen an devan sanktyè enteryè a. Men yo pa t kab wè pa deyò; epi yo la jis rive jodi a.
9 There was nothing in the ark save the two tables of stone which Moses put there at Horeb, when the LORD made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.
Pa t gen anyen nan lach la sof ke de tablo wòch ke Moïse te mete la nan Horeb yo, kote SENYÈ a te fè yon akò avèk fis Israël yo, lè yo te sòti nan peyi Égypte la.
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,
Li te fèt ke lè prèt yo te sòti nan lye sen an ke nwaj la te ranpli kay SENYÈ a,
11 so that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud: for the glory of the LORD filled the house of the LORD.
jiskaske prèt yo pa t kab fè sèvis akoz nwaj la. Paske glwa SENYÈ a te ranpli kay SENYÈ a.
12 Then spake Solomon, The LORD hath said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.
Alò, Salomon te di: “SENYÈ a te di ke Li ta abite nan nwaj pwès.
13 I have surely built thee an house of habitation, a place for thee to dwell in for ever.
Mwen te vrèman bati pou Ou yon kay byen wo, yon plas pou Ou ta abite jis pou tout tan.”
14 And the king turned his face about, and blessed all the congregation of Israel: and all the congregation of Israel stood.
Konsa, wa a te vire tounen e te beni tout asanble Israël la pandan tout asanble Israël la te kanpe.
15 And he said, Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, which spake with his mouth unto David my father, and hath with his hand 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 akonpli sa avèk men l, e ki te di:
16 Since the day that I brought forth my people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build an house, that my name might be there; but I chose David to be over my people Israel.
‘Depi jou ke M te fè pèp Mwen an, Israël, sòti an Égypte, Mwen pa t chwazi yon vil nan tout tribi Israël yo pou M ta bati yon kay pou non Mwen ta kapab la; men mwen te chwazi David pou renye sou pèp Mwen an, Israël.’
17 Now it was in the heart of David my father to build an house for the name of the LORD, the God of Israel.
“Alò, sa te nan kè papa m, David pou bati yon kay pou non SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la.
18 But the LORD said unto David my father, Whereas it was in thine heart to build an house for my name, thou didst well that it was in thine heart:
Men SENYÈ a te di a papa m, David: ‘Akoz li te nan kè ou pou bati yon kay pou non Mwen, ou te fè byen, paske se te nan kè ou.
19 nevertheless thou shalt not build the house; but thy son that shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house for my name.
Sepandan, ou p ap bati kay la, men fis ou ki va fèt a ou menm nan, li va bati kay la pou non Mwen.’
20 And the LORD hath established his word that he spake; for I am risen up in the room of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised, and have built the house for the name of the LORD, the God of Israel.
Alò, SENYÈ a te fin akonpli pawòl ke Li te pale a. Paske mwen te leve nan plas papa m, David. Mwen chita sou twòn Israël la, jan SENYÈ a te pwomèt la, e mwen te bati kay la pou non SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la.
21 And there have I set a place for the ark, wherein is the covenant of the LORD, which he made with our fathers, when he brought them out of the land of Egypt.
La mwen te poze yon plas pou lach la, nan sila akò a ke SENYÈ a te fè avèk zansèt nou yo lè Li te mennen yo soti nan peyi Égypte la.”
22 And Solomon stood before the altar of the LORD in the presence of all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven:
Salomon te kanpe devan lotèl SENYÈ a nan prezans a tout asanble Israël la, e te lonje ouvri men li vè syèl la.
23 and he said, O LORD, the God of Israel, there is no God like thee, in heaven above, or on earth beneath; who keepest covenant and mercy with thy servants, that walk before thee with all their heart:
Li te di: “O SENYÈ, Bondye Israël la, nanpwen Bondye tankou Ou nan syèl la anwo, ni sou latè anba, k ap kenbe akò e montre lanmou dous a sèvitè Ou yo ki mache devan Ou avèk tout kè yo,
24 who hast kept with thy servant David my father that which thou didst promise him: yea, thou spakest with thy mouth, and hast fulfilled it with thine hand, as it is this day.
ki te kenbe avèk sèvitè Ou, papa m, David, 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 nan jou sila a.
25 Now therefore, O LORD, the God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father that which thou hast promised him, saying, There shall not fail thee a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel; if only thy children take heed to their way to walk before me as thou hast walked before me.
Alò, pou sa, O SENYÈ, Bondye Israël la, kenbe avèk sèvitè Ou a, David, papa m, sa ke Ou te pwomèt li a lè Ou te di: ‘Ou p ap manke yon nonm pou chita sou twòn Israël la, si sèlman fis ou yo veye chemen yo, pou mache devan Mwen menm jan ke ou te mache a.’
26 Now therefore, O God of Israel, let thy word, I pray thee, be verified, which thou spakest unto thy servant David my father.
“Koulye a, pou sa, O Bondye Israël la, kite pawòl Ou, mwen priye, vin konfime ke Ou te pale a sèvitè Ou a, papa m, David.
27 But will God in very deed dwell on the earth? behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house that I have builded!
Men èske Bondye, anverite, va rete sou latè? Gade byen, syèl la avèk syèl pi wo a p ap kab kenbe Ou; konbyen anplis kay sa a ke m te bati a!
28 Yet have thou respect unto the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplication, O LORD my God, to hearken unto the cry and to the prayer which thy servant prayeth before thee this day:
Sepandan, gade lapriyè sèvitè Ou a, avèk siplikasyon pa li, O SENYÈ, Bondye mwen, pou koute kri ak lapriyè ke sèvitè Ou a fè devan Ou jodi a;
29 that thine eyes may be open toward this house night and day, even toward the place whereof thou hast said, My name shall be there: to hearken unto the prayer which thy servant shall pray toward this place.
pou zye Ou ta rete louvri vè kay sila a lajounen kon lannwit, vè plas kote Ou te di: ‘Non Mwen va rete la,’ pou koute lapriyè ke sèvitè ou a va fè vè plas sa a.
30 And hearken thou to the supplication of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, when they shall pray toward this place: yea, hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place; and when thou hearest, forgive.
Koute siplikasyon a sèvitè Ou, e a pèp Ou a, Israël lè yo priye vè plas sila a. Koute nan syèl la, kote Ou abite a; e lè Ou koute, padone.
31 If a man sin against his neighbour, and an oath be laid upon him to cause him to swear, and he come [and] swear before thine altar in this house:
“Si yon nonm peche kont vwazen li, e si li oblije fè yon ve, si li vin fè ve a devan lotèl Ou, nan kay sila a,
32 then hear thou in heaven, and do, and judge thy servants, condemning the wicked, to bring his way upon his own head; and justifying the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness.
alò, tande nan syèl la e pran desizyon pou jije sèvitè Ou yo; kondane mechan an, fè chemen pa li a vin sou pwòp tèt li. Epi fè jistis vini sou sila ki dwat la, lè Ou ba li selon ladwati li.
33 When thy people Israel be smitten down before the enemy, because they have sinned against thee; if they turn again to thee, and confess thy name, and pray and make supplication unto thee in this house:
“Lè pèp Ou a, Israël fin bat devan yon lènmi, akoz yo te peche kont Ou, si yo vire vè Ou ankò pou konfese non Ou, priye e fè siplikasyon vè Ou nan kay sa a,
34 then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them again unto the land which thou gavest unto their fathers;
alò, tande nan syèl la, e padone peche a pèp Ou a Israël, e mennen yo retounen nan peyi ke Ou te bay zansèt yo.
35 When heaven is shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against thee; if they pray toward this place, and confess thy name, and turn from their sin, when thou dost afflict them:
“Lè syèl yo fèmen e nanpwen lapli, akoz yo te peche kont Ou, si yo priye vè plas sila a, konfese non Ou, e vire kite peche pa yo lè Ou aflije yo,
36 then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy servants, and of thy people Israel, when thou teachest them the good way wherein they should walk; and send rain upon thy land, which thou hast given to thy people for an inheritance.
alò, tande nan syèl la e padone peche a sèvitè Ou yo, e a pèp Ou a, Israël. Anverite, enstwi yo nan bon chemen nan sila yo ta dwe mache a, e voye lapli sou peyi ke Ou te bay a pèp Ou a, ke Ou te bay yo a kòm eritaj la.
37 If there be in the land famine, if there be pestilence, if there be blasting [or] mildew, locust [or] caterpiller; if their enemy besiege them in the land of their cities; whatsoever plague, whatsoever sickness there be;
“Si gen gwo grangou nan peyi a, si gen toumant, si gen gwo maladi sou jaden oswa bèt, oswa wouy, epidemi nan youn nan espès krikèt volan yo, si lènmi pa yo fè syèj sou yo nan peyi vil pa yo, nenpòt kalite toumant, nenpòt gwo maladi,
38 what prayer and supplication soever be made by any man, [or] by all thy people Israel, which shall know every man the plague of his own heart, and spread forth his hands toward this house:
nenpòt lapriyè oswa siplikasyon ki fèt pa nenpòt moun, oswa pa tout pèp Israël yo, chak moun ki konnen afliksyon nan pwòp kè pa li, e ki leve men l ouvri vè kay sila a;
39 then hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place, and forgive, and do, and render unto every man according to all his ways, whose heart thou knowest; (for thou, even thou only, knowest the hearts of all the children of men; )
alò, tande nan syèl la, kote Ou abite a, padone, aji e rann a chak moun selon tout chemen yo, kè a sila Ou konnen an, paske se Ou sèl ki konnen kè a tout fis a lòm yo;
40 that they may fear thee all the days that they live in the land which thou gavest unto our fathers.
pou yo kapab gen lakrent Ou tout jou ke yo viv nan peyi ke Ou te bay a zansèt nou yo.
41 Moreover concerning the stranger, that is not of thy people Israel, when he shall come out of a far country for thy name’s sake;
“Anplis, konsènan etranje ki pa apatyen a pèp Israël Ou a, lè li sòti nan yon peyi lwen pou koz non Ou,
42 (for they shall hear of thy great name, and of thy mighty hand, and of thy stretched out arm; ) when he shall come and pray toward this house;
(paske yo va tande afè gran non Ou, ak men pwisan Ou, ak bra louvri Ou), pou lè l vini fè lapriyè vè kay sila a,
43 hear thou in heaven thy dwelling place, and do according to all that the stranger calleth to thee for; that all the peoples of the earth may know thy name, to fear thee, as doth thy people Israel, and that they may know that this house which I have built is called by thy name.
tande nan syèl la, kote ou abite a e fè tout sa ke etranje a mande Ou fè, jis pou tout pèp sou tout latè yo kapab konnen non Ou, pou gen lakrent Ou, tankou pèp Ou a Israël, pou yo kapab konnen ke kay sila a, mwen te bati a, rele pa non pa Ou.
44 If thy people go out to battle against their enemy, by whatsoever way thou shalt send them, and they pray unto the LORD toward the city which thou hast chosen, and toward the house which I have built for thy name:
“Lè pèp Ou a sòti nan batay kont lènmi yo, nan nenpòt chemen Ou ta voye yo, e yo priye a SENYÈ nan direksyon vil ke Ou te chwazi a, ak kay ke mwen te bati pou non Ou a,
45 then hear thou in heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.
alò, tande nan syèl la lapriyè yo, ak siplikasyon yo, e bay soutyen a ka pa yo.
46 If they sin against thee, (for there is no man that sinneth not, ) and thou be angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captive unto the land of the enemy, far off or near;
Lè yo peche kont Ou (pwiske nanpwen moun ki pa peche), Ou vin fache avèk yo, e Ou livre yo bay lènmi an pou fè yo sòti kaptif nan peyi a lènmi an, kit lwen, kit pre;
47 yet if they shall bethink themselves in the land whither they are carried captive, and turn again, and make supplication unto thee in the land of them that carried them captive, saying, We have sinned, and have done perversely, we have dealt wickedly;
si yo vin reflechi nan peyi kote yo te mennen kaptif la, yo vin repanti, e fè siplikasyon a Ou menm nan peyi a sila ki te pran yo kaptif la, e di: ‘Nou te peche e te fè inikite, nou te aji mal;’
48 if they return unto thee with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their enemies, which carried them captive, and pray unto thee toward their land, which thou gavest unto their fathers, the city which thou hast chosen, and the house which I have built for thy name:
si yo retounen a Ou menm avèk tout kè yo e avèk tout nanm yo nan peyi a lènmi ki te mennen yo kaptif yo, yo priye a Ou menm, vè peyi ke Ou te bay a zansèt yo, vil ke Ou te chwazi a, ak kay ke mwen te bati pou non Ou an;
49 then hear thou their prayer and their supplication in heaven thy dwelling place, and maintain their cause;
alò, tande priyè yo, avèk siplikasyon yo, nan syèl la, plas kote Ou rete a e bay soutyen a koz pa yo,
50 and forgive thy people which have sinned against thee, and all their transgressions wherein they have transgressed against thee; and give them compassion before those who carried them captive, that they may have compassion on them:
epi padone pèp Ou a ki te peche kont Ou an ak tout transgresyon ke yo te fè kont Ou yo, e bay yo mizerikòd devan sila ki te fè yo kaptif yo, pou yo gen konpasyon pou yo.
51 For they be thy people, and thine inheritance which thou broughtest forth out of Egypt, from the midst of the furnace of iron:
(Pwiske se pèp Ou yo ye, e eritaj ke Ou te mennen sòti an Égypte la, ki te soti nan mitan founo fè a).
52 that thine eyes may be open unto the supplication of thy servant, and unto the supplication of thy people Israel, to hearken unto them whensoever they cry unto thee.
Pou zye Ou kapab louvri a siplikasyon a sèvitè Ou, e a siplikasyon a pèp Ou a, Israël, pou koute yo nenpòt lè ke yo rele Ou.
53 For thou didst separate them from among all the peoples of the earth, to be thine inheritance, as thou spakest by the hand of Moses thy servant, when thou broughtest our fathers out of Egypt, O Lord GOD.
Paske Ou te mete yo apa de tout lòt pèp sou latè kòm eritaj Ou, jan Ou te pale pa Moïse, sèvitè Ou a, pandan Ou te mennen zansèt pa nou yo sòti an Égypte, O Senyè, BONDYE.”
54 And it was so, 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 forth toward heaven.
Lè Salomon te fin priye tout priyè sila a, li te leve soti devan lotèl a SENYÈ a, soti sou jenou li avèk men li louvri anvè syèl la.
55 And he stood, and blessed all the congregation of Israel with a loud voice, saying,
Li te kanpe e te beni tout asanble Israël la avèk yon gwo vwa. Li te di:
56 Blessed be the LORD, that hath given rest unto his people Israel, according to all that he promised: there hath not failed one word of all his good promise, which he promised by the hand of Moses his servant.
“Beni se SENYÈ a ki te bay repo a pèp Li a, Israël, selon tout sa ke Li te pwomèt yo. Pa menm yon mo pa t fè fayit nan tout bonte ke Li te pwomèt nou pa Moïse yo, sèvitè li a.
57 The LORD our God be with us, as he was with our fathers: let him not leave us, nor forsake us:
Ke SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, kapab avèk nou, jan Li te ye avèk zansèt nou yo. Ke Li pa janm kite nou ni abandone nou,
58 that he may incline our hearts unto him, to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and his statutes, and his judgments, which he commanded our fathers.
pou Li kapab atire kè nou vè Li menm, pou mache nan tout vwa Li yo e pou kenbe kòmandman Li yo avèk règleman Li yo avèk òdonans Li yo, ke Li te kòmande a zansèt nou yo.
59 And let these my words, wherewith I have made supplication before the LORD, be nigh unto the LORD our God day and night, that he maintain the cause of his servant, and the cause of his people Israel, as every day shall require:
Epi ke pawòl pa m sa yo, avèk sila mwen te fè siplikasyon devan SENYÈ a, kapab toupre SENYÈ a, Bondye pa nou an, lajounen kon lannwit, pou Li kapab bay soutyen a koz pèp Li a, Israël, jan chak jou mande a,
60 that all the peoples of the earth may know that the LORD, he is God; there is none else.
pou tout pèp sou latè yo kapab konnen ke SENYÈ a se Bondye; ke nanpwen okenn lòt.
61 Let your heart therefore be perfect with the LORD our God, to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as at this day.
“Pou sa, kite kè nou vin dedye nèt a SENYÈ a, pou mache nan règleman Li yo, kenbe kòmandman Li, menm jan sa ye nan jou sila a.”
62 And the king, and all Israel with him, offered sacrifice before the LORD.
Alò, wa a ak tout Israël avèk li te ofri sakrifis yo devan SENYÈ a.
63 And Solomon offered for the sacrifice of peace offerings, which he offered unto the LORD, two and twenty thousand oxen, and an hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the children of Israel dedicated the house of the LORD.
Salomon te ofri kòm ofrann lapè ke Li te lofri SENYÈ a, venn-de-mil bèf avèk san-ven-mil mouton. Konsa wa a, avèk tout fis Israël yo te dedye kay SENYÈ a.
64 The same day did the king hallow the middle of the court that was before the house of the LORD: for there he offered the burnt offering, and the meal offering, and the fat of the peace offerings: because the brasen altar that was before the LORD was too little to receive the burnt offering, and the meal offering, and the fat of the peace offerings.
Nan menm jou sa a, wa a te konsakre lakou mitan ki te devan kay SENYÈ a, akoz se la li te ofri ofrann brile avèk ofrann sereyal yo, e grès a ofrann lapè yo. Paske lotèl bwonz ki te devan SENYÈ a te twò piti pou kenbe ofrann brile avèk ofrann sereyal yo, avèk grès a ofrann lapè yo.
65 So Solomon held the feast at that time, and all Israel with him, a great congregation, from the entering in of Hamath unto the brook of Egypt, before the LORD our God, seven days and seven days, even fourteen days.
Konsa, Salomon te obsève fèt la nan lè sa a, e tout Israël avèk li, yon gran asanble soti nan antre Hamath jis rive nan ti kouran dlo Égypte la, devan SENYÈ a Bondye nou an, pandan sèt jou e avèk sèt jou anplis, katòz jou nèt.
66 On the eighth day he sent the people away, and they blessed the king, and went unto their tents joyful and glad of heart for all the goodness that the LORD had shewed unto David his servant, and to Israel his people.
Nan uityèm jou a, li te voye pèp la ale, e yo te beni wa a. Epi yo te ale nan tant pa yo ranpli avèk jwa, kontan nan kè pou tout bonte ke SENYÈ a te montre a David, sèvitè li, e a Israël, pèp Li a.
