1 Istwa 17

1 Li te vin rive ke lè David te rete lakay li, ke David te di a Nathan, pwofèt la: “Gade byen, mwen rete nan yon kay fèt ak sèd, men lach akò SENYÈ a rete anba rido.”

Forsothe whanne Dauid dwellide in his hows, he seide to Nathan, the prophete, Lo! Y dwelle in an hows of cedris; sotheli the arke of boond of pees of the Lord is vndur skynnys.

2 Nathan te di a David: “Fè tout sa ki nan kè ou, paske Bondye avèk ou.”

And Nathan seide to Dauid, Do thou alle thingis that ben in thin herte, for God is with thee.

3 Li te vin rive nan menm nwit lan ke pawòl SENYÈ a te parèt a Nathan. Li te di:

Therfor in that nyyt the word of the Lord was maad to Nathan,

4 “Ale pale David, sèvitè Mwen an, ‘Konsa pale SENYÈ a, “Ou pa pou bati yon kay pou Mwen pou M rete ladann;

and seide, Go thou, and speke to Dauid, my seruaunt, The Lord seith these thingis, Thou schalt not bilde to me an hows to dwelle in;

5 paske Mwen pa t konn rete nan yon kay depi jou ke M te mennen Israël monte a, jis rive jodi a; men Mwen te ale soti de tant a tant e soti yon kote pou rete jis rive a yon lòt.

for Y `dwellide not in an hows, fro that tyme in which Y ledde Israel out of the lond of Egipt til to this dai, but euere Y chaungide places of tabernacle, and dwellide in a tente with al Israel.

6 Nan tout plas kote Mwen te mache avèk Israël yo, èske Mwen te pale yon mo avèk okenn nan jij Israël yo pou Mwen te kòmande yo pou fè bèje a pèp Mwen an, epi te di yo: ‘Poukisa ou pa t bati pou Mwen yon kay an sèd?’”

Where I spak nameli to oon of the iugis of Israel, to which I comaundide that thei schulde fede my puple, and seide, Whi `bildidist thou not to me an hous of cedre?

7 Alò, pou sa, konsa ou va pale ak sèvitè Mwen an, David: ‘Konsa pale SENYÈ a dèzame yo: “Mwen te retire ou nan pak kote ou t ap swiv mouton, pou devni chèf sou pèp Mwen an, Israël.

Now therfor thou schalt speke thus to my seruaunt Dauid, The Lord of oostis seith these thingis, Y took thee, whanne thou suedist the floc in the lesewis, that thou schuldist be duyk on my puple Israel;

8 Mwen te avèk ou tout kote ke ou te ale, e te koupe devan ou tout lènmi ou yo. Konsa, Mwen va fè yon non pou ou pare ak pi gwo moun sou latè yo.

and Y was with thee whidur euere thou yedist, and Y killide alle thin enemyes bifor thee, and Y made to thee an name as of oon of the grete men that ben maad worschipful, ether `famouse, in erthe.

9 Mwen va chwazi yon plas pou pèp Israël Mwen an e va plante yo, pou yo kab rete nan pwòp plas yo, pou yo pa vin deplase ankò. Konsa, mechan yo p ap epwize yo ankò tankou oparavan,

And Y yaf a place to my puple Israel; it schal be plauntid, and schal dwelle there ynne, and it schal no more be moued, and the sones of wickydnesse schulen not defoule hem,

10 depi jou ke M te kòmande jij yo vini sou pèp Israël Mwen an. Konsa, Mwen va soumèt tou lènmi ou yo. Anplis, Mwen di ou, ke SENYÈ a va bati yon kay pou ou.

as fro the bigynnyng, fro the daies in whiche Y yaf iugis to my puple Israel; and Y made lowe alle thin enemyes. Therfor Y telle to thee, that the Lord schal bilde an hows to thee.

11 Lè jou yo acheve pou ou oblije ale jwenn zansèt ou yo, Mwen va plase youn nan desandan apre ou yo, ki va nan fis ou yo; epi Mwen va etabli wayòm pa li.

And whanne thou hast fillid thi daies, that thou go to thi fadris, Y schal reise thi seed after thee, that schal be of thi sones, and Y schal stablische his rewme;

12 Li va bati pou Mwen yon kay e mwen va etabli twòn li jis pou tout tan.

he schal bilde to me an hows, and Y schal make stidefast his seete til in to with outen ende.

13 Mwen va papa li e li va fis Mwen. Mwen p ap retire lanmou dous Mwen sou li, tankou Mwen te retire li sou sila ki te avan ou an.

Y schal be to hym in to a fadir, and he schal be to me in to a sone; and Y schal not do my mersi fro hym, as Y took awei fro hym that was bifore thee;

14 Men Mwen va etabli li lakay Mwen ak nan wayòm Mwen an jis pou tout tan e twòn li an va etabli nèt pou tout tan.”’”

and Y schal ordeyne hym in myn hows and in my rewme til in to with outen ende; and his trone schal be moost stidefast with outen ende.

15 Selon tout pawòl sa yo e selon vizyon sila a, konsa Nathan te pale ak David.

Bi alle these wordis, and bi al this reuelacioun, so Nathan spak to Dauid.

16 Konsa, wa David te antre e te chita devan SENYÈ a epi te di: “Se kilès mwen ye, O SENYÈ a, Bondye a e kisa lakay mwen ye pou Ou te mennen m rive jis isit la?

And whanne kyng Dauid hadde come, and hadde sete bifore the Lord, he seide, Lord God, who am Y, and what is myn hows, that thou schuldist yyue siche thingis to me?

17 Sa se te yon ti bagay nan zye Ou, O Bondye, men Ou te pale afè lakay sèvitè Ou a pou anpil tan k ap vini, e te gade mwen kon yon moun gran valè, O SENYÈ Bondye.

But also this is seyn litil in thi siyt, and therfor thou spakest on the hows of thi seruaunt, yhe, in to tyme to comynge; and hast maad me worthi to be biholdun ouer alle men.

18 Kisa, anplis, David kapab di Ou selon onè ki bay a sèvitè Ou a? Paske ou konnen sèvitè Ou.

My Lord God, what may Dauid adde more, sithen thou hast so glorified thi seruaunt, and hast knowe hym?

19 O SENYÈ, pou koz sèvitè ou a, e selon pwòp kè pa Ou, Ou te prepare tout grandè sa a, pou ta fè konnen tout gran afè sila yo.

Lord, for thi seruaunt thou hast do bi thin herte al this grete doyng, and woldist that alle grete thingis be knowun.

20 O SENYÈ, nanpwen lòt tankou Ou, ni nanpwen okenn Bondye sof ke Ou, selon tout sa ke nou te tande avèk zòrèy nou.

Lord, noon is lijk thee, and noon other God is with oute thee, of alle whiche we herden with oure eeris.

21 Epi ki lòt nasyon sou latè ki tankou pèp Ou a, Israël, ke Bondye te ale peye ranson a Li menm yon pèp; pou fè yon non pou Ou pa bagay ki te gran e mèvèye yo, lè Ou te pouse, fè soti tout lòt nasyon yo devan pèp Ou a, ke Ou te rachete, fè soti nan Egypte.

For who is anothir as thi puple Israel, o folc in erthe, to whom God yede, to delyuere and make a puple to hym silf, and to caste out bi his greetnesse and dredis naciouns fro the face therof, which he delyuerede fro Egipt?

22 Paske pèp Ou a, Israël, Ou te fè pwòp pèp Ou a jis pou tout tan e Ou menm, O SENYÈ, te vin Bondye pa yo.

And thou hast set thi puple Israel in to a puple to thee til in to with outen ende, and thou, Lord, art maad the God therof.

23 Koulye a, O SENYÈ, kite pawòl ke Ou te pale pa sèvitè Ou a, selon lakay li vin etabli jis pou tout tan an. Fè jan Ou te pale a.

Now therfor, Lord, the word which thou hast spoke to thi seruaunt, and on his hows, be confermed with outen ende, and do, as thou spake;

24 Kite non pa Ou vin etabli e onore jis pou tout tan, epi di: SENYÈ dèzame yo se Bondye a Israël la, yon Bondye menm pou Israël. Konsa, lakay David, sèvitè Ou a se etabli devan Ou.

and thi name dwelle, and be magnefied `with outen ende; and be it seid, The Lord of oostis is God of Israel, and the hous of Dauid, his seruaunt, dwellynge bifor hym.

25 Paske Ou menm, O Bondye mwen, te revele a sèvitè Ou a, ke Ou va bati pou li yon kay. Pou sa, sèvitè Ou a te twouve kouraj pou vin priye devan Ou.

For thou, my Lord God, hast maad reuelacioun to the eere of thi seruaunt, that thou woldist bilde to hym an hous; and therfor thi seruaunt foond trist, that he preie bifor thee.

26 Koulye a, O SENYÈ, Ou se Bondye e te pwomèt bon bagay sa a sèvitè Ou a.

Now therfor, Lord, thou art God, and hast spoke to thi seruaunt so grete benefices;

27 Konsa, sa te fè Ou plezi pou beni lakay sèvitè Ou a, pou li kapab kontinye jis pou tout tan devan Ou. Paske Ou menm, O SENYÈ, te fè l beni e li menm vin beni jis pou tout tan.”

and thou hast bigunne to blesse the hous of thi seruaunt, that it be euer bifore thee; for, Lord, for thou blessist, it schal be blessid with outen ende.
