2 Istwa 7
1 Lè wa Salomon fin fè lapriyè sa a, dife desann soti nan syèl la, li boule bèt yo te ofri sou lotèl la ak lòt pòsyon vyann yo te ofri.
And at Solomon’s finishing to pray, then the fire has come down from the heavens and consumes the burnt-offering and the sacrifices, and the glory of YHWH has filled the house,
2 Anmenmtan an, limyè prezans Seyè a te plen Tanp lan.
and the priests have not been able to go into the house of YHWH, because the glory of YHWH has filled the house of YHWH.
3 Lè tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo wè dife desann soti nan syèl la ak bèl limyè prezans Seyè a ki te klere tout anndan Tanp lan, yo mete ajenou, yo bese tèt yo jouk fwon yo rive sou dal pave a, yo adore Bondye, yo t'ap fè lwanj Seyè a, yo di l' mèsi paske li bon, paske li p'ap janm sispann renmen yo.
And all the sons of Israel are looking on the descending of the fire, and the glory of YHWH on the house, and they bow—faces to the earth—on the pavement, and pay respect, and give thanks to YHWH, [saying], “For [He is] good, for His kindness [is] for all time!”
4 Apre sa, wa Salomon ansanm ak tout pèp Izrayèl ki te la a ofri bèt pou yo touye pou Seyè a.
And the king and all the people are sacrificing a sacrifice before YHWH,
5 Wa Salomon te ofri venndemil (22.000) towo ak sanvenmil (120.000) mouton pou mande Bondye padon. Se konsa wa a ansanm ak tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo te mete Tanp lan apa pou Seyè a.
and King Solomon sacrifices the sacrifice: twenty-two thousand of the herd and one hundred and twenty thousand of the flock; and the king and all the people dedicate the house of God.
6 Prèt yo te rete nan plas yo te ba yo nan Tanp lan. Devan yo se te moun Levi yo ki t'ap fè lwanj Seyè a ak enstriman mizik wa David te fè fè pou jwe pandan y'ap chante chante ki di: Paske li p'ap janm sispann renmen nou. Prèt yo t'ap kònen twonpèt, tout pèp Izrayèl la menm te rete kanpe.
And the priests are standing over their charges, and the Levites with instruments of the song of YHWH that David the king made, to give thanks to YHWH, for His kindness [is] for all time, in David’s praising by their hand—and the priests are blowing trumpets opposite them, and all of Israel is standing.
7 Menm jou sa a, Salomon mete mitan gwo lakou ki devan Tanp Seyè a apa pou Bondye. Lèfini, se la li ofri bèt pou boule nèt pou Seyè a, ak grès bèt yo te touye pou mande Bondye padon, paske lotèl kwiv Salomon te fè fè a te twò piti pou pran tout ofrann bèt yo te touye pou boule nèt pou Seyè a, grenn jaden yo ak grès bèt yo te touye pou mande Bondye padon.
And Solomon sanctifies the middle of the court that [is] before the house of YHWH, for he has made the burnt-offerings and the fat of the peace-offerings there, for the altar of bronze that Solomon made has not been able to contain the burnt-offering, and the present, and the fat.
8 Lè sa a, Salomon ansanm ak tout pèp Izrayèl la fete fèt Joupa yo pandan sèt jou. Foul moun te soti depi Pas Amat la nan nò jouk sou fwontyè ak peyi Lejip la nan sid, yo vin fete la.
And Solomon makes the celebration at that time [for] seven days, and all Israel with him—a very great assembly—from the entering in of Hamath to the Brook of Egypt.
9 Yo pase sèt jou ap fè sèvis pou mete lotèl la apa pou sèvis Bondye, lèfini yo pase sèt jou ankò ap fè fèt. Sou wityèm jou fèt la, yo fè yon gwo sèvis pou fèmen seremoni an.
And they make a restraint on the eighth day, because they have made the dedication of the altar [for] seven days, and the celebration [for] seven days.
10 Nan denmen, ki vle di nan venntwazyèm jou setyèm mwa a, Salomon voye tout moun tounen lakay yo. Yo tout t'ap fè fèt, yo al lakay yo ak kè kontan, paske sa te fè yo plezi pou wè tou sa Seyè a te fè pou David, pou Salomon ak pou pèp Izrayèl li a.
And on the twenty-third day of the seventh month he has sent the people to their tents, rejoicing, and glad in heart, for the goodness that YHWH has done to David, and to Solomon, and to His people Israel.
11 Lè wa Salomon fin bati Tanp Seyè a ansanm ak palè wa a, lè li fin fè tou sa li te gen lide fè nan yo,
And Solomon finishes the house of YHWH, and the house of the king; and all that has come on the heart of Solomon to do in the house of YHWH, and in his own house, he has caused to prosper.
12 Seyè a fè Salomon wè l' ankò yon jou lannwit. Li di l' konsa: -Mwen tande lapriyè ou fè nan pye m'. M' chwazi kay sa a pou sèvi kote pou yo vin touye bèt pou mwen.
And YHWH appears to Solomon by night and says to him, “I have heard your prayer, and have fixed on this place for Myself for a house of sacrifice.
13 Si mwen ta rive fèmen syèl la pou lapli pa tonbe, si mwen ta voye krikèt pou devore peyi a, si mwen ta voye move maladi sou pèp la,
If I restrain the heavens and there is no rain, and if I lay charge on the locust to consume the land, and if I send pestilence among My people—
14 lè sa a si pèp ki pote non m' lan lapriyè nan pye m', si yo soumèt devan mwen, si yo pran chache m' ankò, si yo vire do bay vye peche yo t'ap fè yo, m'ap tande yo nan syèl kote m' ye a, m'ap padonnen peche yo, m'ap fè peyi a kanpe ankò.
and My people on whom My Name is called are humbled, and pray, and seek My face, and turn back from their evil ways, then I hear from the heavens, and forgive their sin, and heal their land.
15 Depi jòdi a, je m' louvri, zòrèy mwen pare pou m' tande tout lapriyè y'ap fè isit la.
Now My eyes are open and My ears attentive to the prayer of this place;
16 Depi jòdi a, mwen chwazi kay sa a, mwen mete l' apa pou mwen. Se la pou yo fè sèvis pou mwen. M'ap veye l', m'ap pwoteje l' chak jou.
and now, I have chosen and sanctified this house for My Name being there for all time; indeed, My eyes and My heart have been there [for] all the days.
17 Ou menm pou tèt pa ou, si ou mache devan m' tankou David, papa ou, si ou fè tou sa mwen mande ou fè, si ou koute lòd ak bon prensip mwen yo,
And you, if you walk before Me as your father David walked, even to do according to all that I have commanded you, and keep My statutes and My judgments—
18 m'a kenbe gouvènman ou lan chita jan mwen te pwomèt David, papa ou la, lè m' te di l' ap toujou gen yon moun nan fanmi li ki pou gouvènen pèp Izrayèl la.
then I have established the throne of your kingdom, as I covenanted with your father David, saying, A man of yours is never cut off [from] ruling in Israel;
19 Men, si ou menm osinon yonn nan pitit ou yo vire do ban mwen, si nou pa fè sa m' mande nou fè, si nou pa koute lòd mwen ban nou, si n al sèvi lòt bondye, si n' al adore lòt bondye,
and if you turn back—you—and have forsaken My statutes and My commands that I have placed before you, and have gone and served other gods, and bowed yourselves to them—then I have plucked them from off My ground that I have given to them,
20 lè sa a, m'ap wete pèp Izrayèl la nan peyi mwen ba yo a. M'ap vire do bay tanp mwen te mete apa tankou kote pou yo fè sèvis pou mwen an. Moun toupatou va pase l' nan betiz, y'a fè chante sou li.
and this house that I have sanctified for My Name, I cast from before My face, and make it for a proverb and for a byword among all the peoples.
21 Kay sa a ki te sitèlman bèl pral tounen yon pil mazi. Tout moun ki va pase bò la a va sezi, y'a mete men nan bouch, y'a mande poukisa Seyè a fè peyi a ak tanp lan sa.
And this house that has been high is an astonishment to everyone passing by it, and he has said, Why has YHWH done thus to this land and to this house?
22 Y'a reponn: Se paske yo te vire do bay Seyè a, Bondye zansèt yo a, ki te fè yo soti kite peyi Lejip. Yo kouri dèyè lòt bondye, yo fè sèvis pou yo, yo adore yo. Se poutèt sa Seyè a te voye gwo malè sa a sou yo.
And they have said, Because that they have forsaken YHWH, God of their fathers, who brought them out from the land of Egypt, and lay hold on other gods, and bow themselves to them, and serve them, therefore He has brought all this calamity on them.”
