1 Chronicles 22
1 Then David said, “Here, [at the edge of Jerusalem, ] is where [we will build] the temple for our God Yahweh, and where [we will make] the altar for burning the offerings that the Israeli [people will bring].”
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 So David commanded that the foreigners who lived in Israel must gather together. [When they did that, ] he appointed [some of those] men to [cut huge] stones [from the quarries] and to smooth their surfaces, to be used to build the temple of God.
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 provided a large amount of iron for making nails and hinges for the doors in the gates of the temple. He also provided so much bronze [for making the altar and various utensils], that no one could weigh it all.
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 He also provided [money for buying] a large amount of cedar logs. Because there was a huge number of them, no one was able to count them. Those were logs that men from Tyre and Sidon [cities] sent to David.
Pou bwa sèd, moun peyi Sidon ak moun lavil Tir te fè David jwenn sa an kantite.
5 David [provided all those things because he] thought, “My son Solomon is still young and he does not know what he needs to know [about building], and the temple of Yahweh must be (magnificent/very beautiful). It must be a glorious building that will become famous, and people throughout the world must consider it to be glorious/splendid. So now I will begin to prepare for it to be built, [and Solomon will be responsible for building it].” So David collected a great amount of building materials before he died.
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 [When] David [was old, he] summoned his son Solomon, and told him that he should arrange for a temple to be built for Yahweh, the God whom the Israelis [worshiped].
Lèfini, li voye chache Salomon, pitit gason l' lan, li ba li lòd pou li bati Tanp Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la.
7 He said to him, “I wanted [IDM] to build a temple to honor [MTY] Yahweh, my God.
Li di l' konsa: -Pitit mwen, mwen te fè lide bati yon tanp pou Seyè a, Bondye mwen an.
8 But Yahweh told [a prophet to tell] me, ‘You have killed many men [MTY] in the battles that you have fought. I have seen the blood of all the people whom you killed, so you will not be the one who will arrange for a temple to be built to honor me [MTY].
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 But you will have a son [who will be king of Israel after you die]. He will be a man who is peaceful and quiet, [not a man who kills others]. And I will cause that there will be peace between him and his enemies who are in all the nearby lands. His name will be Solomon, [which sounds like the word for peace]. During the time that he is king, people in Israel will be peaceful and safe.
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 is the one who will arrange for a temple to be built to honor me [MTY]. He will be [like] a son to me, and I will cause some of his descendants to rule [MTY] over Israel forever [HYP].’
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 “So now, my son, I hope/wish that Yahweh will help you, and enable you to be successful in arranging for building the temple of Yahweh, your God, which is what he said that you would do.
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 I also hope/wish that he will enable you to be wise and to understand what you need to know, and enable you to obey his laws while you rule over Israel.
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 If you carefully obey all the laws and regulations/commands that Yahweh gave to Moses to give to us Israeli people, you will be successful. So be steadfast/strong and courageous. Do not be afraid of anything, and do not become discouraged!
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 “I have tried hard to provide [materials] for [building] the temple of Yahweh. I have provided nearly 4,000 tons of gold, and nearly 40,000 tons of silver. I have also provided a very large amount of iron and bronze; no one has been able to weigh it all. I have also gathered/provided lumber and stone [for the walls of the temple], but you may need to get some more of those things.
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 many men [in Israel] who have good ability to cut big stones for making stone walls, and carpenters, and men who are very skilled at making various kinds of things.
Lèfini, w'ap jwenn anpil travayè, kantonye, moun pou taye wòch, chapant, ak anpil moun ki bòs nan tout kalite travay.
16 There are many men who know how to make things from gold and silver and bronze and iron. So now [I say to you], begin the work [of building the temple], and I hope/wish that Yahweh will help/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 Then David commanded that all the Israeli leaders must assist Solomon. He said to them,
Apre sa, David mande tout chèf pèp Izrayèl yo pou yo ede Salomon, pitit gason l' lan.
18 “Yahweh our God is certainly with/helping you [RHQ]. He has allowed you to have peace with all the nearby nations [RHQ]. He has enabled my [army] to conquer [IDM] them, so now Yahweh and my people control them.
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 you must obey Yahweh completely. Help Solomon to arrange for building the temple for Yahweh God, in order that you can bring the Sacred Chest that contains the Ten Commandments and the other sacred items that belong to God into the temple that you will build to honor Yahweh.”
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'.
