2 Samuel 7
1 And it cometh to pass, when the king sat in his house, and Jehovah hath given rest to him round about, from all his enemies,
Wa David te byen chita nan palè li. Seyè a te pwoteje l', li te fè tout lènmi ki te alantou peyi a pa chache l' kont ankò.
2 that the king saith unto Nathan the prophet, 'See, I pray thee, I am dwelling in a house of cedars, and the ark of God is dwelling in the midst of the curtain.'
Wa a pale ak pwofèt Natan, li di l' konsa: -Gade! Mwen rete nan yon kay bati ak bwa sèd, men Bwat Kontra Seyè a se anba yon kay twal li ye.
3 And Nathan saith unto the king, 'All that [is] in thine heart — go, do, for Jehovah [is] with thee.'
Natan reponn li: -Tou sa ou gen lide fè, ou mèt fè l', paske Seyè a kanpe la avè ou.
4 And it cometh to pass in that night, that the word of Jehovah is unto Nathan, saying,
Men, menm jou lannwit sa a, Seyè a pale ak Natan, li di l' konsa:
5 'Go, and thou hast said unto My servant, unto David, Thus said Jehovah, Dost thou build for Me a house for My dwelling in?
-Ale di David, sèvitè m' lan, men sa mwen menm Seyè a, mwen voye di l': Se pa ou menm ki pral bati yon tanp pou m' rete.
6 for I have not dwelt in a house even from the day of My bringing up the sons of Israel out of Egypt, even unto this day, and am walking up and down in a tent and in a tabernacle.
Depi jou mwen te fè moun pèp Izrayèl yo soti kite peyi Lejip rive jòdi a, mwen pa janm rete nan yon kay. Tout kote m' pase se anba yon tant twal mwen toujou ye.
7 During all [the time] that I have walked up and down among all the sons of Israel, a word have I spoken with one of the tribes of Israel which I commanded to feed my people Israel, saying, 'Why have ye not built to Me a house of cedars?
Nan tout deplase mwen ansanm ak moun Izrayèl yo, mwen pa janm mande yonn nan chèf mwen te chwazi pou gouvènen pèp mwen an poukisa yo pa bati yon kay an bwa sèd pou mwen.
8 and now, thus dost thou say to My servant, to David: 'Thus said Jehovah of Hosts, I have taken thee from the comely place, from after the flock, to be leader over My people, over Israel;
Koulye a, men sa w'a di David, sèvitè m' lan: Men sa Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a voye di ou: Se mwen menm ki te pran ou dèyè mouton ou t'ap gade nan savann yo, mwen mete ou chèf pèp mwen an.
9 and I am with thee whithersoever thou hast gone, and I cut off all thine enemies from thy presence, and have made for thee a great name, as the name of the great ones who [are] in the earth,
Nan tou sa ou t'ap fè, mwen te kanpe la avè ou. Mwen kraze tout lènmi ou yo devan ou. Mwen pral fè yo nonmen non ou tankou y'ap nonmen non pi gwo chèf ki sou latè.
10 and I have appointed a place for My people, for Israel, and have planted it, and it hath tabernacled in its place, and it is not troubled any more, and the sons of perverseness do not add to afflict it any more, as in the beginning,
Lèfini, mwen pare yon kote pou pèp Izrayèl mwen an. Mwen pral tabli yo la pou yo ka viv san yo pa bezwen pè anyen ankò. Mechan yo p'ap vin maltrete yo ankò jan yo te konn fè l' anvan an,
11 even from the day that I appointed judges over My people Israel; and I have given rest to thee from all thine enemies, and Jehovah hath declared to thee that Jehovah doth make for thee a house.
lè mwen te mete jij yo pou gouvènen pèp Izrayèl mwen an. M'ap delivre ou anba men tout lènmi ou yo. Mwen te fè ou konnen m'ap ba ou pitit ak pitit pitit.
12 'When thy days are full, and thou hast lain with thy fathers, then I have raised up thy seed after thee which goeth out from thy bowels, and have established his kingdom;
Lè lè a va rive pou ou mouri, lè y'a antere ou, m'ap pran yonn nan pitit ou yo, m'ap mete l' wa nan plas ou. M'ap fè gouvènman l' lan kanpe fèm.
13 He doth build a house for My Name, and I have established the throne of his kingdom unto the age.
Se li menm ki va bati yon tanp pou mwen. M'ap fè gouvènman l' lan kanpe fèm pou tout tan.
14 I am to him for a father, and he is to Me for a son; whom in his dealings perversely I have even reproved with a rod of men, and with strokes of the sons of Adam,
M'ap yon papa pou li. Li menm l'ap yon pitit pou mwen. Si li fè sa ki mal, m'ap korije l' tankou yon papa korije pitit gason li.
15 and My kindness doth not turn aside from him, as I turned it aside from Saul, whom I turned aside from before thee,
Men, m'ap toujou soutni l', mwen p'ap lage l' jan mwen te lage Sayil lè mwen te kite l' tonbe pou m' te mete ou nan plas li.
16 and stedfast [is] thy house and thy kingdom unto the age before thee, thy throne is established unto the age.'
Ap toujou gen moun nan fanmi ou chita sou fotèy la ap gouvènen apre ou, paske m'ap fè gouvènman fanmi ou lan kanpe fèm pou tout tan.
17 According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so spake Nathan unto David.
Natan rakonte David tou sa Bondye te fè l' konnen nan vizyon an.
18 And king David cometh in and sitteth before Jehovah, and saith, 'Who [am] I, Lord Jehovah? and what my house, that Thou hast brought me hitherto?
Apre sa, wa David ale nan tanp lan, li chita devan Seyè a, li di l' konsa: -Seyè, Bondye sèl Mèt la, kisa mwen ye, kisa fanmi mwen ye pou ou te fè tou sa ou deja fè pou nou?
19 And yet this [is] little in Thine eyes, Lord Jehovah, and Thou dost speak also concerning the house of Thy servant afar off; and this [is] the law of the Man, Lord Jehovah.
Men ou wè sa pa kont toujou, Seyè, Bondye sèl Mèt la, kifè koulye a w'ap fè konnen sa ki pral rive fanmi mwen denmen nan lanne k'ap vini yo. Epi ou fè m' konn sa, mwen menm ki yon senp moun, Seyè, Bondye sèl Mèt la!
20 And what doth David add more to speak unto Thee? and Thou, Thou hast known Thy servant, Lord Jehovah.
Kisa mwen menm David, mwen ka di ou, Seyè, apre sa? Ou konnen ki moun mwen ye, mwen menm k'ap sèvi ou la.
21 Because of Thy word, and according to Thy heart, Thou hast done all this greatness, to cause Thy servant to know [it].
Se paske ou te fè pwomès la, se paske ou te vle l' konsa, kifè ou te fè tout bèl bagay sa yo pou ou te fè m' konnen yo.
22 Therefore Thou hast been great, Jehovah God, for there is none like Thee, and there is no God save Thee, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
Seyè, Bondye mwen, ala gwo pouvwa ou la gwo! Pa gen tankou ou! Pa gen lòt Bondye pase ou menm! Yo te toujou di nou sa.
23 'And who [is] as Thy people, as Israel — one nation in the earth, whom God hath gone to redeem to Him for a people, and to make for Him a name — and to do for you the greatness — even fearful things for Thy land, at the presence of Thy people, whom Thou hast redeemed to Thee out of Egypt — [among the] nations and their gods?
Pa gen lòt nasyon sou latè tankou pèp Izrayèl la! Se ou menm ki delivre yo pou yo te ka tounen yon pèp ki rele ou pa ou. Se pou yo ase ou fè sa. Toupatou sou latè, y'ap nonmen non ou yo pou gwo mirak ak bèl bagay ou fè pou yo. Ou mete lòt nasyon deyò nan peyi ou la ansanm ak bondye yo pou fè plas pou pèp ou, pèp ou te delivre anba pouvwa pèp peyi Lejip la, pou yo te ka tounen pèp pa ou.
24 Yea, Thou dost establish to Thee Thy people Israel, to Thee for a people unto the age, and Thou, Jehovah, hast been to them for God.
Ou fè pèp Izrayèl la tounen pèp pa ou pou tout tan, ou menm ou tounen Bondye yo.
25 'And now, Jehovah God, the word which Thou hast spoken concerning Thy servant, and concerning his house, establish unto the age, and do as Thou hast spoken;
Koulye a, Seyè, Bondye, se pou ou kenbe pwomès ou te fè sèvitè ou la ansanm ak fanmi li an. Se pou ou fè sa ou di w'ap fè a.
26 And Thy Name is great unto the age, saying, Jehovah of Hosts [is] God over Israel, and the house of Thy servant David is established before Thee,
Toupatou sou latè y'a toujou rekonnèt jan ou gen pouvwa. y'a di se Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a ki Bondye pèp Izrayèl la. Konsa, gouvènman ki nan men fanmi David, sèvitè ou la, va kanpe fèm pou tout tan anba pwoteksyon ou.
27 For Thou, Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, Thou hast uncovered the ear of Thy servant, saying, A house I build for thee, therefore hath Thy servant found his heart to pray unto Thee this prayer;
Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, se ou menm ki te fè m' konnen tou sa. Ou te di m', mwen menm sèvitè ou la, w'ap ban mwen yon fanmi, lèfini w'ap fè baton gouvènman an toujou rete nan men fanmi mwen. Se poutèt sa mwen gen kouraj fè lapriyè sa a nan pye ou.
28 And now, Lord Jehovah, Thou [art] God Himself, and Thy words are truth, and Thou speakest unto Thy servant this goodness,
Koulye a, Seyè sèl Mèt, se ou ki Bondye tout bon an. Ou toujou kenbe pwomès ou yo. Gade bèl pawòl kè kontan ou di sèvitè ou la!
29 And now, begin and bless the house of Thy servant, to be unto the age before Thee, for Thou, Lord Jehovah, hast spoken, and by Thy blessing is the house of Thy servant blessed — to the age.'
Tanpri, beni tout fanmi mwen apre mwen pou yo ka toujou anba pwoteksyon ou. Wi, Seyè sèl Mèt, ou te pwomèt mwen sa. Se pou ou toujou voye benediksyon ou sou fanmi mwen.
