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.
Furthermore David the king said to all the congregation, Solomon my son, whom alone God hath chosen, [is yet] young and tender, and the work [is] great: for the palace [is] not for man, but for the LORD 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 I have prepared with all my might for the house of my God the gold for [things to be made] of gold, and the silver for [things] of silver, and the brass for [things] of brass, the iron for [things] of iron, and wood for [things] of wood; onyx-stones, and [stones] to be set, glittering stones, and of divers colors, and all manner of precious stones, and marble stones in 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:
Moreover, because I have set my affection to the house of my God, I have of my own possessions, of gold and silver, [which] I have given to the house of my God, over and above all that I have prepared for the holy house,
4 sanmil (100.000) kilo bon lò ki soti nan peyi Ofi, ak desantrant (230) kilo bon ajan pou dekore miray Tanp lan,
[Even] three thousand talents of gold, of the gold of Ophir, and seven thousand talents of refined silver, to overlay the walls of the houses:
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?
The gold for [things] of gold, and the silver for [things] of silver, and for all manner of work [to be made] by the hands of artificers. And who [then] is willing to consecrate his service this day 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.
Then the chief of the fathers and princes of the tribes of Israel, and the captains of thousands and of hundreds, with the rulers over the king's work, offered willingly,
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 service of the house of God of gold five thousand talents and ten thousand drams, and of silver ten thousand talents, and of brass eighteen thousand talents, and 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 they with whom [precious] stones were found gave [them] to the treasure 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.
Then the people rejoiced, for that they offered willingly, because with perfect heart they offered willingly to the LORD: and David the king also rejoiced with great joy.
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!
Wherefore David blessed the LORD before all the congregation: and David said, Blessed [be] thou, LORD God of Israel our father, for ever and ever.
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.
Thine, O LORD, [is] the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all [that is] in the heaven and on the earth [is thine]; thine [is] the kingdom, O LORD, and thou art exalted as head above all.
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.
Both riches and honor [come] from thee, and thou reignest over all; and in thy hand [is] power and might; and in thy hand [it is] to make great, and to give strength to all.
13 Koulye a, Bondye nou, nou di ou mèsi. N'ap fè lwanj pou ou sitèlman ou gen pouvwa.
Now therefore, our God, we thank thee, and praise thy glorious 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.
But who [am] I, and what [is] my people, that we should be able to offer so willingly after this sort? for all things [come] from thee, and of thy own have we given thee.
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] strangers before thee, and sojourners, as [were] all our fathers: our days on the earth [are] as a shadow, and [there is] no abiding.
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 store that we have prepared to build thee a house for thy holy name [cometh] from thy hand, and [is] all thy own.
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 also, my God, that thou triest the heart, and hast pleasure in uprightness. As for me, in the uprightness of my heart I have willingly offered all these things: and now have I seen with joy thy people, who are present here, to offer willingly to thee.
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 God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, our fathers, keep this for ever in the imagination of the thoughts of the heart of thy people, and prepare their heart to thee:
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.
And give to Solomon my son a perfect heart, to keep thy commandments, thy testimonies, and thy statutes, and to do all [these things], and to build the palace, [for] which I have made provision.
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.
And David said to all the congregation, Now bless the LORD your God. And all the congregation blessed the LORD God of their fathers, and bowed their heads, and worshiped the LORD, and 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 sacrificed sacrifices to the LORD, and offered burnt-offerings to the LORD, on the morrow after that day, [even] a thousand bullocks, a thousand rams, [and] a thousand lambs, with their drink-offerings, and sacrifices in abundance for all 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 ate and drank before the LORD on that day with great gladness. And they made Solomon the son of David king the second time, and anointed [him] to the LORD [to be] the chief governor, and Zadok [to be] 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'.
Then Solomon sat on the throne of the LORD as king instead of David his father, and prospered; and all Israel obeyed him.
24 Tout chèf yo, tout sòlda yo ansanm ak tout lòt pitit David yo te rekonèt Salomon pou sèl chèf yo.
And all the princes, and the mighty men, and all the sons likewise of king David, submitted themselves to Solomon the king.
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.
And the LORD magnified Solomon exceedingly in the sight of all Israel, and bestowed upon him [such] royal majesty as had not been on any king before him in Israel.
26 David, pitit gason Izayi a, te gouvènen tout peyi Izrayèl la.
Thus David the son of Jesse reigned over all 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 time that he reigned over Israel [was] forty years; seven years he reigned in Hebron, and thirty and three [years] he reigned 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 in a good old age, full of days, riches, and honor: and Solomon his son reigned in his stead.
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 David the king, first and last, behold, they [are] 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.
With all his reign and his might, and the times that went over him, and over Israel, and over all the kingdoms of the countries.
