1 Istwa 22
1 Konsa David te di: “Sa se lakay SENYÈ a, Bondye a, e sa se lotèl ofrann brile pou Israël la.”
And David says, “This is the house of YHWH God, and this [is] the altar for burnt-offering for Israel.”
2 Pou sa, David te bay lòd pou ranmase tout etranje ki te nan peyi Israël yo. Konsa, li te mete taye wòch nan travay pou koupe wòch pou bati kay Bondye a.
And David says to gather the sojourners who [are] in the land of Israel, and appoints hewers to hew hewn-stones to build a house of God.
3 David te prepare yon gran kantite fè pou fè klou pou pòt pòtay yo ak pou kranpon yo e plis bwonz ki ta kab peze yo.
And David has prepared iron in abundance for nails for leaves of the gates and for couplings, and bronze in abundance—there is no weighing,
4 Epi twòn bwa sèd yo te depase kontwòl, paske Sidonyen yo avèk Tyriens yo te mennen gran kantite a twòn bwa sèd yo kote David.
and cedar-trees without number, for the Zidonians and the Tyrians brought in cedar-trees in abundance to David.
5 David te di: “Fis mwen, Salomon jèn, epi manke eksperyans. Epi kay k ap bati pou SENYÈ a va tèlman ekstrawòdinè, byen koni toupatou, e k ap renome pou glwa li nan tout peyi yo. Se pou sa ke mwen va fè preparasyon pou li.” Konsa, David te fè anpil preparasyon avan l te mouri.
And David says, “My son Solomon [is] a youth and tender, and the house to be built for YHWH [is] to be made exceedingly great, for renown and for beauty to all the lands; now let me prepare for it”; and David prepares in abundance before his death.
6 Alò, li te rele fis li a, Salomon e te òdone li pou bati yon kay pou non SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la.
And he calls for his son Solomon, and charges him to build a house for YHWH, God of Israel,
7 David te di a Salomon: “Fis mwen, mwen te gen entansyon pou bati yon kay a non SENYÈ a, Bondye mwen an.
and David says to his son Solomon, “As for me, it has been with my heart to build a house for the Name of my God YHWH,
8 Men pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote mwen. Li te di: Ou gen tan vèse anpil san, e te fè gwo lagè sou latè. Ou pa p bati yon kay pou non mwen, akoz ou te vèse anpil san sou latè devan zye m.
and the word of YHWH [is] against me, saying, You have shed blood in abundance, and you have made great wars; you do not build a house for My Name, for you have shed much blood to the earth before Me.
9 Men gade byen, youn fis ki va ne a ou menm yo, va yon moun lapè. Konsa, Mwen va bay li repo soti nan tout lènmi li yo nan tout kote. Paske non li va Salomon e mwen va bay lapè avèk kalm an Israël nan jou pa li yo.
Behold, a son is born to you; he is a man of rest, and I have given rest to him from all his surrounding enemies, for Solomon is his name, and I give peace and quietness to Israel in his days;
10 Li va bati yon kay pou non Mwen. Li va fis Mwen e Mwen va papa li. Konsa, mwen va etabli twòn wayòm li sou Israël jis pou tout tan.
he builds a house for My Name, and he is to Me for a son, and I [am] to him for a father, and I have established the throne of his kingdom over Israel for all time.
11 Koulye a, fis mwen an, ke SENYÈ a kapab avèk ou, pou ou kapab byen reyisi, e bati lakay SENYÈ a, Bondye pa w la, jis jan ke li te pale selon ou menm nan.
Now my son, YHWH is with you, and you have prospered, and have built the house of your God YHWH, as He spoke concerning you.
12 Sèlman ke SENYÈ a ta kapab bay ou sajès avèk konprann pou fè ou renye sou Israël, pou ou kapab kenbe lalwa a SENYÈ a, Bondye ou a.
Only, may YHWH give wisdom and understanding to you, and charge you concerning Israel, even to keep the Law of your God YHWH;
13 Konsa, ou va byen reyisi, si ou fè atansyon pou swiv règleman avèk lòd ke SENYÈ a te kòmande Moïse selon Israël yo. Kenbe fèm e pran kouraj. Pa dekouraje, ni pa krent anyen.
then you prosper, if you observe to do the statutes and the judgments that YHWH charged Moses with concerning Israel; be strong and courageous; do not fear, nor be cast down.
14 Alò, gade byen, avèk gwo lapèn mwen te prepare pou lakay SENYÈ a, san-mil talan lò, yon-milyon talan ajan e bwonz avèk fè ki depase peze, akoz yo tèlman anpil. Anplis, gran twòn bwa avèk wòch ke m te prepare, e ou gen dwa mete sou yo toujou.
And behold, in my affliction I have prepared for the house of YHWH one hundred thousand talents of gold, and one million talents of silver; and of bronze and of iron there is no weighing, for it has been in abundance; and I have prepared wood and stones, and you add to them.
15 Anplis, gen anpil ouvriye ki avèk ou, tayè wòch, avèk mason ak chapant e tout mesye ak kapasite nan tout kalite mendèv.
And with you in abundance [are] workmen, hewers and craftsmen of stone and of wood, and every skillful man for every work.
16 Selon lò, ajan ak bwonz avèk fè, nanpwen limit. Leve, fè travay ou e ke SENYÈ a kapab avèk ou.”
Of the gold, of the silver, and of the bronze, and of the iron, there is no number; arise and do, and YHWH is with you.”
17 Anplis, David te kòmande tout chèf Israël yo pou ede fis li a, Salomon. Li te di:
And David gives charge to all heads of Israel to give help to his son Solomon, [saying],
18 “Èske SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, pa avèk nou? Konsa, èske Li pa t bannou repo sou tout kote? Paske Li te livre sila ki viv nan peyi yo nan men m, e peyi a soumèt nèt devan SENYÈ a ak devan pèp Li a.
“Is your God YHWH not with you? Indeed, He has given rest to you all around, for He has given the inhabitants of the land into my hand, and the land has been subdued before His people.
19 Alò, bay kè nou avèk nanm nou pou chache SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an. Konsa, leve pou bati sanktiyè SENYÈ a, Bondye a, pou nou kapab pote lach akò SENYÈ a avèk veso sakre Bondye yo antre nan kay ki va bati pou non a SENYÈ a.”
Now give your heart and your soul to seek for your God YHWH, and rise and build the sanctuary of YHWH God, to bring in the Ark of the Covenant of YHWH, and the holy vessels of God, to the house that is built for the Name of YHWH.”
