1 Istwa 16
1 Yo te pote lach Bondye a e te plase li nan tant ke David te fè monte pou li a. Epi yo te ofri ofrann brile avèk ofrann lapè devan Bondye.
And they brought in the ark of God, and set it in the midst of the tent that David had pitched for it: and they offered burnt-offerings and peace-offerings before God.
2 Lè David te fin fè ofrann brile ak ofrann lapè a, li te beni pèp la nan non a SENYÈ a.
And when David had made an end of offering the burnt-offering and the peace-offerings, he blessed the people in the name of Jehovah.
3 Li te separe bay a chak moun Israël, ni gason, ni fanm, yo chak yon pen avèk yon pòsyon vyann ak yon gato rezen.
And he dealt to every one of Israel, both man and woman, to every one a loaf of bread, and a portion [of flesh], and a cake of raisins.
4 Li te chwazi kèk nan Levit yo pou pran chaj sèvis la devan lach SENYÈ a, pou selebre menm e bay remèsiman avèk lwanj a SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la:
And he appointed certain of the Levites to minister before the ark of Jehovah, and to celebrate and to thank and praise Jehovah, the God of Israel:
5 Asaph, chèf la e dezyèm apre li a, Zacharie, swiv pa Jeïel, Schemiramoth, Jehiel, Matthithia, Éliab, Benaja, Obed-Édom ak Jeïel avèk lenstriman mizik yo, ap yo, gita yo; epi Asaph sou senbal gwo bwi yo,
Asaph the chief, and second to him Zechariah, Jeiel, and Shemiramoth, and Jehiel, and Mattithiah, and Eliab, and Benaiah, and Obed-edom, and Jeiel, with psalteries and with harps; and Asaph with cymbals, sounding aloud;
6 epi Benaja avèk Jachaziel, prèt ki t ap soufle twonpèt san rete yo devan lach akò Bondye a.
and Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests with trumpets continually, before the ark of the covenant of God.
7 Alò, se te nan jou sa a, David te chwazi pou premye fwa a, Asaph avèk fanmi li pou bay remèsiman a SENYÈ a.
Then on that day did David first ordain to give thanks unto Jehovah, by the hand of Asaph and his brethren.
8 O bay remèsiman a SENYÈ a. Rele non Li. Fè zèv li yo rekonèt pami pèp yo.
O give thanks unto Jehovah, call upon his name; Make known his doings among the peoples.
9 Chante a Li menm. Chante lwanj a Li menm. Pale tout mèvèy Li yo.
Sing unto him, sing praises unto him; Talk ye of all his marvellous works.
10 Bay glwa a sen non Li. Kite kè a sila k ap chache SENYÈ a vin ranpli ak jwa.
Glory ye in his holy name; Let the heart of them rejoice that seek Jehovah.
11 Chache SENYÈ a avèk fòs Li. Chache figi Li san rete.
Seek ye Jehovah and his strength; Seek his face evermore.
12 Sonje zèv mèvèy ke Li te fè yo, mèvèy Li yo ak jijman, ki sòti depi nan bouch Li,
Remember his marvellous works that he hath done, His wonders, and the judgments of his mouth,
13 O desandan Israël, sèvitè Li yo, fis a Jacob yo, sila Li te chwazi yo!
O ye seed of Israel his servant, Ye children of Jacob, his chosen ones.
14 Li se SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an. Jijman pa Li yo sou tout latè.
He is Jehovah our God; His judgments are in all the earth.
15 Sonje akò Li a pou tout tan, Pawòl ke Li te kòmande a mil jenerasyon yo,
Remember his covenant for ever, The word which he commanded to a thousand generations,
16 akò ke li te fè avèk Abraham nan, sèman an ke Li te fè avèk Isaac la.
[The covenant] which he made with Abraham, And his oath unto Isaac,
17 Li te konfime sa ak Jacob kon yon règleman, A Israël, kon yon akò ki pou tout tan,
And confirmed the same unto Jacob for a statute, To Israel for an everlasting covenant,
18 epi te di: “A ou menm, Mwen va bay peyi Canaan an kon pòsyon eritaj pa w.”
Saying, Unto thee will I give the land of Canaan, The lot of your inheritance;
19 Pandan yo te piti an nonb, trè piti e etranje, yo nan li,
When ye were but a few men in number, Yea, very few, and sojourners in it;
20 yo te mache toupatou nan yon nasyon a yon lòt, sòti nan yon wayòm pou rive nan yon lòt pèp.
And they went about from nation to nation, And from one kingdom to another people.
21 Li pa t kite okenn moun oprime yo. Li te bay repwòch a wa yo pou koz pa yo.
He suffered no man to do them wrong; Yea, he reproved kings for their sakes,
22 Li te di “Pa touche onksyone pa M yo, ni pa fè mal a pwofèt Mwen yo.”
[Saying], Touch not mine anointed ones, And do my prophets no harm.
23 Chante a SENYÈ a, tout latè! Pwoklame bòn nouvèl delivrans Li jou apre jou.
Sing unto Jehovah, all the earth; Show forth his salvation from day to day.
24 Pale glwa Li pami nasyon yo, gran mèvèy Li yo pami tout pèp yo.
Declare his glory among the nations, His marvellous works among all the peoples.
25 Paske gran se SENYÈ a, e gran pou resevwa lwanj yo. Anplis, fòk nou gen lakrent Li plis pase tout lòt dye yo.
For great is Jehovah, and greatly to be praised: He also is to be feared above all gods.
26 Paske tout dye a pèp yo se zidòl yo ye, men SENYÈ a te fè syèl yo.
For all the gods of the peoples are idols: But Jehovah made the heavens.
27 Tout richès avèk majeste devan Li. Lafòs ak lajwa lakay Li.
Honor and majesty are before him: Strength and gladness are in his place.
28 Bay a SENYÈ a, O tout fanmi yo ak tout pèp yo, bay a SENYÈ a glwa avèk fòs!
Ascribe unto Jehovah, ye kindreds of the peoples, Ascribe unto Jehovah glory and strength;
29 Bay a SENYÈ a glwa ke non Li dwe genyen an. Pote lofrann yo vini devan L. Adore SENYÈ a avèk tout bagay sen yo.
Ascribe unto Jehovah the glory due unto his name: Bring an offering, and come before him; Worship Jehovah in holy array.
30 Tranble devan Li, tout latè. Anverite, lemond etabli byen solid. Li p ap deplase menm.
Tremble before him, all the earth: The world also is established that it cannot be moved.
31 Kite syèl yo kontan e kite lemond rejwi:
Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; And let them say among the nations, Jehovah reigneth.
32 Kite lanmè a fè gwo bwi, avèk tout sa ki ladann! Kite chan an ranpli ak jwa, ak tout sa ki ladann!
Let the sea roar, and the fulness thereof; Let the field exult, and all that is therein;
33 Konsa, tout bwa forè yo va chante avèk jwa devan SENYÈ a. Paske L ap vini pou jije latè.
Then shall the trees of the wood sing for joy before Jehovah; For he cometh to judge the earth.
34 O bay remèsiman a SENYÈ a pou bonte Li, paske lanmou dous Li a se pou tout tan.
O give thanks unto Jehovah; for he is good; For his lovingkindness [endureth] for ever.
35 Di: “Sove nou, O Bondye a delivrans nou an! Ranmase nou pou sove nou soti nan nasyon yo, pou bay remèsiman a non sen pa W la, pou nou trionfe nan lwanj Ou.”
And say ye, Save us, O God of our salvation, And gather us together and deliver us from the nations, To give thanks unto thy holy name, And to triumph in thy praise.
36 Beni se SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la, Pou letènite, jis rive nan letènite a. Tout pèp la te di: “Amen” e te louwe SENYÈ a.
Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, From everlasting even to everlasting. And all the people said, Amen, and praised Jehovah.
37 Konsa, li te kiteAsaph avèk fanmi li la devan lach akò SENYÈ a pou fè sèvis devan lach la tout tan, kon travay chak jou te egzije a;
So he left there, before the ark of the covenant of Jehovah, Asaph and his brethren, to minister before the ark continually, as every day’s work required;
38 epi Obed-Édom avèk swasant-uit manm fanmi li; Obed-Édom e anplis fis a Jedithun lan, avèk Hosa kon gadyen pòtay yo,
and Obed-edom with their brethren, threescore and eight; Obed-edom also the son of Jeduthun and Hosah to be doorkeepers;
39 Li te kite Tsadok, prèt la avèk fanmi pa li yo devan tabènak SENYÈ a nan wo plas ki te Gabaon an,
and Zadok the priest, and his brethren the priests, before the tabernacle of Jehovah in the high place that was at Gibeon,
40 pou ofri ofrann brile yo a SENYÈ a sou lotèl ofrann brile a tout tan, ni maten, ni aswè, jis selon tout sa ki ekri nan lalwa SENYÈ a, ke Li te kòmande Israël yo.
to offer burnt-offerings unto Jehovah upon the altar of burnt-offering continually morning and evening, even according to all that is written in the law of Jehovah, which he commanded unto Israel;
41 Avèk yo, te Héman, Jeduthun ak lòt ki te dezinye pa non yo, pou bay remèsiman a SENYÈ a, akoz lanmou dous li an san fen.
and with them Heman and Jeduthun, and the rest that were chosen, who were mentioned by name, to give thanks to Jehovah, because his lovingkindness [endureth] for ever;
42 Epi avèk yo, te Héman ak Jeduthun avèk twonpèt avèk senbal pou sila ki te gen pou fè enstriman retantisan pou chan Bondye yo e fis a Jeduthun yo, pou pòtay la.
and with them Heman and Jeduthun [with] trumpets and cymbals for those that should sound aloud, and [with] instruments for the songs of God; and the sons of Jeduthun to be at the gate.
43 Epi tout pèp la te pati, yo chak lakay yo e David te retounen pou beni lakay pa li a.
And all the people departed every man to his house: and David returned to bless his house.
