1 Chronicles 29
1 Then King David said to all the people who had gathered there, “My son Solomon, the one whom God has chosen [to be the next king], is young and does not have much experience. This work [of building the temple] is great/important, because this glorious building will not be to [honor] people, but to honor Yahweh our God.
Epi Wa David te di a tout asanble a: “Fis mwen an, Salomon, ki sèl pou kont li Bondye te chwazi a, toujou jèn, san gwo eksperyans e travay la byen gwo. Paske tanp lan pa pou lòm, men pou SENYÈ a, Bondye a.
2 From all the things that I possess, I have provided [what will be needed] to [build] the temple of my God—the gold for the things to be made of gold, the silver for the things to be made of silver, bronze for the things to be made of bronze, iron for the things to be made of iron, wood for the things to be made of wood, and large amounts of onyx and turquoise and other valuable stones of various colors, and marble and all kinds of valuable stones.
Alò, avèk tout kapasite mwen, mwen te fè pwovizyon pou lakay Bondye mwen a; lò, pou bagay fèt an lò yo, ajan pou bagay fèt an ajan yo, bwonz pou bagay fèt an bwonz yo, fè pou bagay fèt an fè yo, bwa pou bagay fèt an bwa yo, pyè oniks pou bagay fèt an pyè oniks yo, pyè byen prezante, pyè briyan avèk anpil koulè ak tout kalite pyè presye avèk mab blan an gran kantite.
3 In addition to all these things that I have given for the temple, I am giving treasures of gold and silver, because I very much desire that this holy temple for my God be built.
Anplis, nan gran lajwa mwen pou lakay Bondye mwen an, trezò pèsonèl ke mwen gen an lò avèk ajan, mwen bay li a lakay Bondye mwen an; anplis de sou sa ke m te founi deja pou sen tanp lan,
4 I am giving 110 tons of gold from Ophir and 260 tons of refined silver to cover the walls of the buildings,
kon swivan: twa mil talan lò nan lò Ophir ak sèt mil talan ajan rafine, pou kouvri mi kay yo;
5 for making the other items of gold and silver, and for the other work to be done by the craftsmen. So now, [I ask you], are there others willing to show [by contributing other gifts for the building of the temple] [EUP] that they have dedicated themselves to Yahweh?”
lò pou bagay an lò e ajan pou bagay an ajan, sa vle di, pou tout lèv ki fèt pa mèt ouvriye yo. Pou sa, se kilès k ap konsakre li nan jou sa a SENYÈ a?”
6 Then the leaders of the families/clans, the leaders of the tribes of Israel, the commanders of 1,000 soldiers and the commanders of 100 soldiers, and the officials who supervised the work that the king wanted done, gave gifts (willingly/because they wanted to give them).
Answit chèf lakay zansèt yo, chèf a tribi Israël yo e kòmandan a dè milye e a dè santèn yo, avèk sipèvizè sou travay a wa a, te bay ofrann avèk bòn volonte;
7 For the work at the temple they gave 190 tons and (185 pounds/84 kg.) of gold, 375 tons of silver, 675 tons of bronze, and 3,750 tons of iron.
epi pou sèvis lakay Bondye a, yo te bay senk-mil talan avèk di-mil kilo an lò, di mil talan ajan, di-zui-mil talan bwonz ak san-mil-talan an fè.
8 And any people who owned valuable stones gave them to be put in the storeroom of the temple. Jehiel, a descendant of Gershon, was appointed to be in charge of them.
Nenpòt moun ki te posede pyè presye, yo te bay yo a trezò lakay SENYÈ a, sou jerans a Jehiel, Gèshonit lan.
9 The people were happy to see that their leaders wanted to give those things, because [they knew that] their leaders were happy and enthusiastic to give those things to Yahweh. And King David also was very happy.
Epi pèp la te rejwi paske yo te ofri sa tèlman ak bòn volonte, paske yo te fè ofrann a SENYÈ a avèk tout kè yo, epi Wa David osi te rejwi anpil.
10 Then, while all the people there were listening, David prayed, saying, “We praise you, Yahweh, the God whom our ancestor Jacob worshiped. We will praise you forever!
Konsa, David te beni SENYÈ a devan zye a tout asanble a. David te di: “Beni se Ou menm, O SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la, papa nou, jis pou tout tan e tout tan.
11 You alone are great and powerful; only you are truly glorious and majestic and wonderful. [And that is true] because everything in heaven and on the earth is yours. You are the king of all the people in this world; you are the ruler of everything.
A Ou menm, O SENYÈ a, grandè, avèk pouvwa, avèk glwa, ak viktwa, ak majeste! Paske anverite, tout sa ki nan syèl la ak sou tè a se a Ou menm. Tout règn se pa W, O SENYÈ, e Ou egzalte kon tèt sou tout.
12 Because you are very powerful [DOU], you are able to cause anyone to be great and strong.
Ni richès, ni onè se nan Ou yo sòti, e Ou regne sou tout. Nan men Ou se pouvwa ak pwisans. Se nan men W pou fè moun pwisan, e pou bay tout moun fòs.
13 So now, our God, we thank you, and we praise you [MTY] for being very great.
Koulye a, pou sa, Bondye nou an, nou remèsye Ou, e bay glwa a non Ou ki plen ak glwa a.
14 But my people and I are not really able to give anything to you, because everything [that we have] comes from you, and what we have given to you are only the things that we have received from you [MTY].
Men se kilès mwen ye, e kilès pèp mwen an ye, pou nou ta kapab ofri ak jenewozite sa a? Paske tout bagay sòti nan Ou, e nou te bay Ou sa ki deja pa W.
15 [In this land] we are like [MET] foreigners and strangers, like our ancestors were. Our time here on this earth is like [SIM] a shadow [that disappears quickly]; [we know that there is] nothing [that] can enable us [to escape dying].
Paske nou se vwayajè devan Ou, lokatè, tankou tout zansèt nou yo te ye. Jou nou sou latè a se tankou lonbraj e nanpwen espwa.
16 Yahweh our God, we have gathered all these things to use in building your [MTY] temple, but all of it really belongs to you, and you have given it to us [MTY].
O SENYÈ a, Bondye pa nou an, tout abondans sa ke nou te founi pou bati yon kay pou non sen pa Ou, soti nan men Ou, e tout se pou Ou.
17 My God, I know that you test us people, and you are pleased if you find out that we do what is right. All these things I have given to you because I wanted to. And now I have seen that your people have also joyfully and generously given things to you.
Mwen konnen tou, O Bondye mwen an, ke Ou fè sonde tout kè, e pran plezi nan ladwati. Pou mwen menm, ak yon kè entèg, mwen te ofri avèk bòn volonte tout sila yo. Epi koulye a, avèk jwa, mwen gen tan wè pèp Ou a, ki prezan isit la, pou fè sakrifis ak bòn volonte a Ou menm.
18 Yahweh, the God whom our ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob worshiped, I desire/hope that your people will continue to desire [to do things like this] forever, and that they will always be loyal to you.
O SENYÈ, Bondye a Abraham nan, Issac avèk Israël, papa zansèt pa nou yo, sere sa jis pou tout tan nan entansyon kè a pèp Ou a, e dirije kè yo vè Ou menm.
19 And now, please enable my son Solomon to faithfully and sincerely [DOU] obey your commands and laws and decrees [DOU] and to do everything that is needed to build this beautiful building for which I have provided [all these things].”
Anplis, bay a fis mwen an, Salomon, yon kè entèg pou kenbe tout kòmandman Ou yo, temwayaj Ou yo ak règleman Ou yo, pou fè tout sa, pou bati tanp lan, pou sila mwen te fè pwovizyon an.”
20 Then David said to all the people who were gathered there, “Praise Yahweh our God!” So they all praised Yahweh the God whom their ancestors ([also worshiped/belonged to]). They prostrated themselves on the ground in front of Yahweh and in front of the king.
Konsa, David te di a tout asanble a: “Koulye a, beni SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an.” Epi tout asanble a te beni SENYÈ a, Bondye a zansèt pa yo a, e te bese ba devan SENYÈ a e ak wa a.
21 The next day the people offered sacrifices to Yahweh. They presented many animals to be completely burned [on the altar]: 1,000 bulls, 1,000 rams, 1,000 male sheep, plus offerings of wine, and many other sacrifices on behalf of all [the people of] Israel.
Yo te fè sakrifis a SENYÈ a, e nan pwochèn jou a te ofri ofrann brile a SENYÈ a; mil towo, mil belye ak mil jenn mouton avèk ofrann bwason pa yo ak sakrifis an gran kantite pou tout Israël.
22 On that day the people were joyful and ate and drank while Yahweh was watching. Then for the second time they declared that Solomon was now the king. While Yahweh was watching, they anointed him [with olive oil] to be the king, and they anointed Zadok to be the Supreme Priest.
Yo te manje ak bwè nan jou sa a devan SENYÈ a avèk kè kontan. Konsa, yo te fè Salomon, fis a David la, wa pou yon dezyèm fwa, e yo te onksyone li devan SENYÈ a pou l ta prens, ak Tsadok kon prèt la.
23 So Solomon sat on the throne [because Yahweh wanted him to be] the king to succeed his father David. [During the following years] Solomon prospered, and all the Israeli people obeyed him.
Apre, Salomon te chita sou twòn SENYÈ a kon wa olye David, papa li. Li te byen reyisi, e tout Israël te obeyi a li menm.
24 King David’s other sons and all the officers and mighty warriors accepted Solomon as their king, and they solemnly promised to obey him.
Tout ofisye yo, mesye pwisan yo e anplis, tout fis a Wa David yo, te sèmante fidelite a Wa Salomon.
25 Yahweh caused Solomon to be highly respected by all the Israeli people, and they honored him very much. No king of Israel was honored as much as Solomon was.
SENYÈ a te egzalte Salomon byen wo nan zye a tout Israël, e te bay li yon majeste wayal ki pa t sou okenn wa avan li an Israël.
26 Jesse’s son David was the king who ruled all of Israel.
Alò David, fis a Jesse a te renye sou tout Israël.
27 He ruled for 40 years: Seven years in Hebron [city] and 33 years in Jerusalem.
Fòs tan ke li te renye sou Israël la se te karantan; li te renye Hébron pandan setan e Jérusalem pandan trann-twazan.
28 He became an old man who was very rich and greatly honored by all the people. Then he died, and his son Solomon became the king [of Israel].
Epi li te mouri a yon gwo laj, trè avanse plen avèk jou, richès, avèk onè. Epi fis li a, Salomon te renye nan plas li.
29 A record of all the things that King David did while he ruled, from the beginning to the end, was put on scrolls written by the prophets Samuel, Nathan, and Gad.
Alò, zèv a Wa David yo, premye a jis rive nan dènye a, yo ekri nan Kwonik a Samuel yo, konseye a, nan Kwonik a Nathan yo, pwofèt la ak nan Kwonik a Gad yo, vwayan a,
30 They told about his powerful rule [HEN], and all the things that happened to him and to the people of Israel and in the nearby kingdoms [while he was ruling Israel].
avèk tout règn li, pouvwa li ak sikonstans ki te rive sou li yo, sou Israël ak sou tout wayòm a peyi yo.
