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.
They brought in the ark of God and put it in the middle of the tent that David had set up for it. Then they offered burnt offerings and fellowship 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.
When David had finished sacrificing the burnt offering and the fellowship offerings, he blessed the people in the name of Yahweh.
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.
He distributed to every Israelite, both to men and women, a loaf of bread, and a piece of meat, 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:
David appointed certain Levites to serve before the ark of Yahweh, and to celebrate, thank and praise Yahweh, 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,
These Levites were Asaph the leader, and second to him Zechariah, Jaaziel, Shemiramoth, Jehiel, Mattithiah, Eliab, Benaiah, Obed Edom, and Jeiel. These were to play with stringed instruments and with harps. Asaph was to sound the cymbals, sounding loudly.
6 epi Benaja avèk Jachaziel, prèt ki t ap soufle twonpèt san rete yo devan lach akò Bondye a.
Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests were to blow the trumpets regularly, 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 David first appointed Asaph and his brothers to sing this song of thanksgiving to Yahweh.
8 O bay remèsiman a SENYÈ a. Rele non Li. Fè zèv li yo rekonèt pami pèp yo.
Give thanks to Yahweh, call on his name; make known his deeds among the nations.
9 Chante a Li menm. Chante lwanj a Li menm. Pale tout mèvèy Li yo.
Sing to him, sing praises to him; speak of all his marvelous deeds.
10 Bay glwa a sen non Li. Kite kè a sila k ap chache SENYÈ a vin ranpli ak jwa.
Boast in his holy name; let the heart of those who seek Yahweh rejoice.
11 Chache SENYÈ a avèk fòs Li. Chache figi Li san rete.
Seek Yahweh and his strength; seek his presence continually.
12 Sonje zèv mèvèy ke Li te fè yo, mèvèy Li yo ak jijman, ki sòti depi nan bouch Li,
Recall the marvelous things he has done, his miracles and the decrees from his mouth,
13 O desandan Israël, sèvitè Li yo, fis a Jacob yo, sila Li te chwazi yo!
you descendants of Israel his servant, you people of Jacob, his chosen ones.
14 Li se SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an. Jijman pa Li yo sou tout latè.
He is Yahweh, our God. His decrees are on all the earth.
15 Sonje akò Li a pou tout tan, Pawòl ke Li te kòmande a mil jenerasyon yo,
Keep his covenant in mind forever, the word that he commanded for a thousand generations.
16 akò ke li te fè avèk Abraham nan, sèman an ke Li te fè avèk Isaac la.
He calls to mind the covenant that he made with Abraham, and his oath to Isaac.
17 Li te konfime sa ak Jacob kon yon règleman, A Israël, kon yon akò ki pou tout tan,
This is what he confirmed to Jacob as a statute, and to Israel as an everlasting covenant.
18 epi te di: “A ou menm, Mwen va bay peyi Canaan an kon pòsyon eritaj pa w.”
He said, “I will give you the land of Canaan as your share of your inheritance.”
19 Pandan yo te piti an nonb, trè piti e etranje, yo nan li,
When they were only few in number, so very few, and they were strangers in the land,
20 yo te mache toupatou nan yon nasyon a yon lòt, sòti nan yon wayòm pou rive nan yon lòt pèp.
they wandered from nation to nation, from one kingdom to another.
21 Li pa t kite okenn moun oprime yo. Li te bay repwòch a wa yo pou koz pa yo.
He did not allow anyone to oppress them; he punished kings for their sakes.
22 Li te di “Pa touche onksyone pa M yo, ni pa fè mal a pwofèt Mwen yo.”
he said, “Do not touch my anointed ones, and do not harm my prophets.”
23 Chante a SENYÈ a, tout latè! Pwoklame bòn nouvèl delivrans Li jou apre jou.
Sing to Yahweh, all the earth; announce his salvation day after day.
24 Pale glwa Li pami nasyon yo, gran mèvèy Li yo pami tout pèp yo.
Declare his glory among the nations, his marvelous deeds among all the nations.
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 Yahweh is great and is to be praised greatly, and he is to be feared above all other 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 nations are idols, but it is Yahweh who made the heavens.
27 Tout richès avèk majeste devan Li. Lafòs ak lajwa lakay Li.
Splendor and majesty are in his presence. Strength and joy 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 to Yahweh, you clans of peoples, ascribe to Yahweh 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 to Yahweh the glory his name deserves. Bring an offering and come before him. Bow down to Yahweh in the splendor of holiness.
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; it cannot be shaken.
31 Kite syèl yo kontan e kite lemond rejwi:
Let the heavens be glad, and let the earth rejoice; let them say among the nations, “Yahweh reigns.”
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 that which fills it shout with joy. Let the fields be joyful, and all that is in them.
33 Konsa, tout bwa forè yo va chante avèk jwa devan SENYÈ a. Paske L ap vini pou jije latè.
Then let the trees in the forest shout for joy before Yahweh, for he is coming to judge the earth.
34 O bay remèsiman a SENYÈ a pou bonte Li, paske lanmou dous Li a se pou tout tan.
Give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good, for his covenant faithfulness endures forever.
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.”
Then say, “Save us, God of our salvation. Gather us together and rescue us from the other nations, so that we may give thanks to your holy name and glory in your praises.”
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.
May Yahweh, the God of Israel, be praised from everlasting to everlasting. All the people said, “Amen” and praised Yahweh.
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 David left Asaph and his brothers there before the ark of the covenant of Yahweh, to serve continually before the ark, 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,
Obed Edom with those sixty-eight relatives were included. Obed Edom son of Jeduthun, along with Hosah, were to be gatekeepers.
39 Li te kite Tsadok, prèt la avèk fanmi pa li yo devan tabènak SENYÈ a nan wo plas ki te Gabaon an,
Zadok the priest and his fellow priests were to serve before the tabernacle of Yahweh at the high place in 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.
They were to offer burnt offerings to Yahweh on the altar for burnt offerings continually morning and evening, according to all that is written in the law of Yahweh, which he gave as a command to 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.
Heman and Jeduthun were with them, together with the rest who were chosen by name, to give thanks to Yahweh, because his covenant faithfulness endures forever.
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.
Heman and Jeduthun were in charge of those who played trumpets, cymbals, and the other instruments for the sacred music. The sons of Jeduthun guarded the gate.
43 Epi tout pèp la te pati, yo chak lakay yo e David te retounen pou beni lakay pa li a.
Then all the people returned to their homes, and David returned to bless his own household.
