1 Istwa 29
1 Lèfini, David pale ak tout moun ki te sanble la yo, li di yo konsa: -Salomon, pitit gason m' lan, se li menm Bondye chwazi, men li jenn anpil, li pa gen esperyans. Travay la anpil, paske se pa yon kay pou moun li pral bati, men yon tanp pou Bondye, Seyè a.
And king David spoke to the entire assembly: “My son Solomon, the one God has chosen, is still a tender boy. And yet the work is great, for a habitation is being prepared, not for man, but for God.
2 Mwen fè sa m' te kapab pou m' te pare materyo pou tanp lan: lò, ajan, kwiv, fè, bwa, bèl pyè oniks, bèl pyè pou sèvi ganiti, pyè malachit ak tout kalite lòt koulè, tout kalite bèl pyè koute chè ak mab an kantite.
Now with all my ability, I have prepared the expenses for the house of my God: gold for items of gold, and silver for those of silver, brass for those of brass, iron for those of iron, and wood for those of wood, and stones of onyx, and stones like alabaster, and stones of diverse colors, and every kind of precious stone, and marble from Paros in great abundance.
3 Men, pou mete sou tou sa mwen pare pou kay n'ap mete apa pou Seyè a, mwen pran lò ak ajan mwen te genyen, mwen bay tout paske mwen renmen kay Bondye a anpil:
And in addition to these things that I have offered into the house of my God, I give, from my own belongings, gold and silver for the temple of my God, aside from those things that I have prepared for the holy shrine:
4 sanmil (100.000) kilo bon lò ki soti nan peyi Ofi, ak desantrant (230) kilo bon ajan pou dekore miray Tanp lan,
three thousand talents of gold, from the gold of Ophir, and seven thousand talents of highly-refined silver, for the gilding of the walls of the temple;
5 pou fè tout bèl bagay an lò osinon an ajan bòs atizan yo gen pou fè. Koulye a, kilès ankò ki vle bay ak tout kè li pou Bondye?
and gold for wherever there is need of gold, and silver for wherever there is need of silver, for the works to be done by the hands of the artisans. And if anyone freely offers, let him fill his hand this day, and let him offer whatever he wishes to the Lord.”
6 Lè sa a, chèf branch fanmi yo, chèf chak fanmi pèp Izrayèl la, tout chèf rejiman mil sòlda yo ak chèf divizyon san sòlda yo, ak tout jeran ki t'ap travay pou wa a, fè kado yo te vle fè.
And so the leaders of the families, and the nobles of the tribes of Israel, as well as the tribunes and the centurions and the overseers of the king’s possessions, promised
7 Yo bay sanswasannsenk (165) kilo lò, twasantrantmil (330.000) kilo ajan, sètsanmil (700.000) kilo kwiv konsa, ak twa milyon twasanmil (3,300.000) kilo fè pou travay Tanp lan.
and gave, for the works of the house of the Lord, five thousand talents and ten thousand pieces of gold, ten thousand talents of silver, and eighteen thousand talents of brass, and also one hundred thousand talents of iron.
8 Sa ki te gen bèl pyè koute chè bay yo pou trezò Tanp lan ki te sou kont Jeyèl, yon moun Levi nan fanmi Gèchon an.
And whoever found precious stones among their belongings gave them to the treasuries of the house of the Lord, by the hand of Jehiel the Gershonite.
9 Pèp la menm te kontan bay sa yo t'ap bay pou Seyè a paske yo te fè l' ak tout kè yo. Wa David tou te kontan anpil.
And the people rejoiced, since they were promising their votive offerings willingly. For they were offering these to the Lord with all their heart. And king David also rejoiced with great gladness.
10 Lè sa a, David fè lwanj Bondye devan tout pèp la ki te reyini. Li di konsa: -Lwanj pou ou, Seyè a, Bondye Izrayèl, papa nou, depi tout tan ak pou tout tan!
And he blessed the Lord before the entire multitude, and he said: “Blessed are you, O Lord God of Israel, our Father from eternity to eternity.
11 Seyè, ou gen pouvwa, ou gen kouraj! Se pou ou tout lwanj. W'ap donminen sou tout bagay pou tout tan. Tou sa ki nan syèl la ak sou latè a se pou ou yo ye. Se ou menm Seyè ki sel wa, paske ou sèl chèf sou tout bagay.
Yours, O Lord, is magnificence and power and glory, and also victory; and to you is praise. For all the things that are in heaven and on earth are yours. Yours is the kingdom, O Lord, and you are above all rulers.
12 Se nan men ou tout richès ak tout byen soti. Ou gouvènen tout bagay avèk fòs ponyèt ou ak pouvwa ou. Se ou menm ki bay tout moun pouvwa ak fòs.
Yours is wealth, and yours is glory. You have dominion over all things. In your hand is virtue and power. In your hand is greatness and authority over all things.
13 Koulye a, Bondye nou, nou di ou mèsi. N'ap fè lwanj pou ou sitèlman ou gen pouvwa.
Now therefore, we confess to you, our God, and we praise your famous name.
14 Men, kisa m' ye, kisa pèp mwen an ye menm, pou m' ta kapab ofri ou tout bagay sa yo ak tout kè nou? Se nan men ou tout bagay sa yo soti, se nan sa nou resevwa nan men ou n'ap ba ou.
Who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able to promise all these things to you? All is yours. And so the things that we received from your hand, we have given to you.
15 Seyè, ou konnen, devan ou se pase n'ap pase tankou moun k'ap vizite, menm jan ak tout zansèt nou yo. Lavi nou sou latè tankou yon nwaj k'ap pase. Wè pa wè fòk nou mouri.
For we are sojourners and new arrivals before you, as all our fathers were. Our days upon the earth are like a shadow, and there is no delay.
16 Seyè, Bondye nou, nou pare tout richès sa yo pou bati yon kay pou ou, ou menm ki yon Bondye apa. Men, se nan men ou yo tout yo soti, se pou ou yo tout ye.
O Lord our God, all this abundance, which we have prepared so that a house may be built to your holy name, is from your hand, and all things are yours.
17 Mwen konnen, Bondye mwen, ou sonde kè tout moun, ou kontan ak moun ki mache dwat. Se poutèt sa, ak tout kè mwen, mwen ofri ou tout bagay sa yo. Koulye a mwen wè jan pèp ou a ki sanble isit la, kontan pou yo pote ofrann pa yo pou ou tou ak tout kè yo.
I know, my God, that you test hearts, and that you love simplicity. Therefore, in the simplicity of my heart, I also have offered all these things joyfully. And I have seen, with immense gladness, your people, who have been found here, offering their donations to you.
18 Seyè, Mèt, Bondye Abraram, Bondye Izarak ak Bondye Izrayèl, Bondye zansèt nou yo, tanpri, fè pèp ou a pa janm pèdi bon santiman sa yo ki nan kè yo jòdi a.
O Lord, the God of our fathers Abraham and Isaac and Israel, preserve unto eternity this desire of their heart, and let this purpose remain forever, for the worship of you.
19 Tanpri, bay Salomon, pitit gason m' lan, bon santiman tou pou li renmen ou nèt ale, pou li ka mache dapre lòd, regleman ak kòmandman ou yo nan tou sa l'ap fè, pou l' ka bati Tanp lan avèk tout materio mwen fin pare yo.
Also, I give to my son Solomon a perfect heart, so that he may keep your commandments, your testimonies, and your ceremonies, and so that he may accomplish all things, and may build the temple, for which I have prepared the expenses.”
20 Apre sa David pale ankò ak tout pèp la ki te reyini, li di yo: -Annou fè lwanj pou Seyè a, Bondye nou an! Tout pèp la nèt pran fè lwanj Seyè a, Bondye zansèt yo. Yo mete jenou yo atè, yo bese tèt yo byen ba devan Seyè a ak devan wa a.
Then David instructed the entire assembly: “Bless the Lord our God.” And the entire assembly blessed the Lord, the God of their fathers. And they bowed themselves, and they adored God, and next they reverenced the king.
21 Nan denmen, yo ofri bèt pou yo touye pou Seyè a, yo boule kèk bèt nèt pou Seyè a: antou mil (1.000) ti towo bèf, mil (1.000) belye mouton, mil (1.000) jenn ti mouton ak ofrann diven ki fèt pou mache ak yo. Yo touye yon pakèt lòt bèt yo tè ofri bay Bondye pou pèp Izrayèl la.
And they immolated victims to the Lord. And they offered holocausts on the following day: one thousand bulls, one thousand rams, one thousand lambs, with their libations and with every ritual, very abundantly, for all of Israel.
22 Jou sa a, yo manje, yo bwè ak gwo kè kontan dèvan Seyè a. Apre sa yon dezyèm fwa, yo fè deklarasyon yo rekonèt Salomon, pitit David la, pou wa yo. Yo fè sèvis mete l' apa pou l' chèf yo nan non Seyè a. Menm lè a, yo mete Zadòk apa pou l' sèvi granprèt nan non Seyè a tou.
And they ate and drank before the Lord on that day, with great rejoicing. And they anointed Solomon, the son of David, a second time. And they anointed him to the Lord as the ruler, and Zadok as the high priest.
23 Se konsa Salomon pran plas David, papa l', sou fotèy gouvènman Seyè a te tabli a. Tout zafè l' te mache byen. Tout pèp Izrayèl la te obeyi l'.
And Solomon sat upon the throne of the Lord as king, in place of his father David, and it pleased everyone. And all of Israel obeyed him.
24 Tout chèf yo, tout sòlda yo ansanm ak tout lòt pitit David yo te rekonèt Salomon pou sèl chèf yo.
Moreover, all the leaders, and the powerful, and all the sons of king David pledged with their hand, and they became subject to king Solomon.
25 Seyè a te bay Salomon yon bèl pozisyon devan pèp la. Li te fè gouvènman Salomon an kanpe fèm ak yon pouvwa ankenn lòt wa nan peyi Izrayèl la pa t' janm genyen anvan sa.
Then the Lord magnified Solomon over all of Israel. And he gave to him a glorious reign, of a kind such as no one has had before him, as king of Israel.
26 David, pitit gason Izayi a, te gouvènen tout peyi Izrayèl la.
Now David, the son of Jesse, reigned over all of Israel.
27 Li pase karantan ap gouvènen pèp Izrayèl la. Pandan sètan li te rete lavil Ebwon. Pandan rès tranntwazan yo, li te rete lavil Jerizalèm.
And the days during which he reigned over Israel were forty years. He reigned seven years in Hebron, and thirty-three years in Jerusalem.
28 Lè li mouri, li te granmoun anpil, men kè li te kontan. Li te gen anpil richès. Tout moun t'ap fè lwanj pou li. Se Salomon, pitit gason l' lan, ki moute wa nan plas li.
And he died at a good old age, full of days and wealth and glory. And his son Solomon reigned in his place.
29 Se nan liv istwa pwofèt Samyèl, liv istwa pwofèt Natan ak liv istwa pwofèt Gad nou jwenn istwa tou sa David te fè depi nan konmansman jouk li mouri.
Now the acts of king David, from the first to the last, have been written in the book of Samuel the seer, and in the book of Nathan the prophet, and in the book of Gad the seer,
30 Liv sa yo fè nou konnen jan li te gouvènen, jan li te yon vanyan gason, ansanm ak tou sa ki te rive l', tou sa ki pase nan peyi Izrayèl la ak nan lòt peyi yo tou.
concerning his entire reign and strength, and the times that passed under him, both in Israel and in all the kingdoms of the lands.
