1 Istwa 29
1 Epi Wa David te di a tout asanble a: “Fis mwen an, Salomon, ki sèl pou kont li Bondye te chwazi a, toujou jèn, san gwo eksperyans e travay la byen gwo. Paske tanp lan pa pou lòm, men pou SENYÈ a, Bondye a.
Then King David said to everyone gathered there, “My son Solomon, chosen by God alone, is young and inexperienced, and the work to be done is great because this Temple will not be for man, but for the Lord God.
2 Alò, avèk tout kapasite mwen, mwen te fè pwovizyon pou lakay Bondye mwen a; lò, pou bagay fèt an lò yo, ajan pou bagay fèt an ajan yo, bwonz pou bagay fèt an bwonz yo, fè pou bagay fèt an fè yo, bwa pou bagay fèt an bwa yo, pyè oniks pou bagay fèt an pyè oniks yo, pyè byen prezante, pyè briyan avèk anpil koulè ak tout kalite pyè presye avèk mab blan an gran kantite.
Using all my means I have provided for the house of my God—gold for the articles made of gold, silver for the silver, bronze for the bronze, iron for the iron, and wood for the wood; onyx stones and stones for settings: turquoise, different colored stones, every kind of precious stone; and plenty of marble.
3 Anplis, nan gran lajwa mwen pou lakay Bondye mwen an, trezò pèsonèl ke mwen gen an lò avèk ajan, mwen bay li a lakay Bondye mwen an; anplis de sou sa ke m te founi deja pou sen tanp lan,
More than this, because of my devotion to the house of my God, I'm now giving my personal fortune of gold and silver, in addition to everything that I have provided for this holy house.
4 kon swivan: twa mil talan lò nan lò Ophir ak sèt mil talan ajan rafine, pou kouvri mi kay yo;
3,000 talents of gold—the gold of Ophir—and 7,000 talents of refined silver will go to cover the walls of the buildings,
5 lò pou bagay an lò e ajan pou bagay an ajan, sa vle di, pou tout lèv ki fèt pa mèt ouvriye yo. Pou sa, se kilès k ap konsakre li nan jou sa a SENYÈ a?”
gold for the gold work, and silver for the silver work, and for all the work done by the craftsmen. Now who willingly wants to commit themselves to giving to the Lord today?”
6 Answit chèf lakay zansèt yo, chèf a tribi Israël yo e kòmandan a dè milye e a dè santèn yo, avèk sipèvizè sou travay a wa a, te bay ofrann avèk bòn volonte;
They gave willingly—the family leaders, those in charge of the tribes of Israel, the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, and the officials in charge of the king's work.
7 epi pou sèvis lakay Bondye a, yo te bay senk-mil talan avèk di-mil kilo an lò, di mil talan ajan, di-zui-mil talan bwonz ak san-mil-talan an fè.
They gave to the service of the house of God 5,000 talents and 10,000 darics of gold, 10,000 talents of silver, 18,000 talents of bronze, and 100,000 talents of iron.
8 Nenpòt moun ki te posede pyè presye, yo te bay yo a trezò lakay SENYÈ a, sou jerans a Jehiel, Gèshonit lan.
Those who had precious stones gave them to the treasury of the house of the Lord, under the supervision of Jehiel the Gershonite.
9 Epi pèp la te rejwi paske yo te ofri sa tèlman ak bòn volonte, paske yo te fè ofrann a SENYÈ a avèk tout kè yo, epi Wa David osi te rejwi anpil.
The people celebrated because their leaders had been so willing to give to the Lord, freely and wholeheartedly. King David was also really delighted.
10 Konsa, David te beni SENYÈ a devan zye a tout asanble a. David te di: “Beni se Ou menm, O SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la, papa nou, jis pou tout tan e tout tan.
Then David praised the Lord before the whole assembly: “Praise to you, Lord, the God of Israel our father, for ever and ever!
11 A Ou menm, O SENYÈ a, grandè, avèk pouvwa, avèk glwa, ak viktwa, ak majeste! Paske anverite, tout sa ki nan syèl la ak sou tè a se a Ou menm. Tout règn se pa W, O SENYÈ, e Ou egzalte kon tèt sou tout.
Lord, yours is the greatness, the power, the glory, the splendor, and the majesty, for everything in heaven and on earth is yours. Lord, yours is the kingdom, and you are admired as ruler of all.
12 Ni richès, ni onè se nan Ou yo sòti, e Ou regne sou tout. Nan men Ou se pouvwa ak pwisans. Se nan men W pou fè moun pwisan, e pou bay tout moun fòs.
Riches and honor come from you and you reign supreme. You possess power and might, and have the ability to make people great and to give strength to all.
13 Koulye a, pou sa, Bondye nou an, nou remèsye Ou, e bay glwa a non Ou ki plen ak glwa a.
Now our God we thank you, and we praise you and your glorious character.
14 Men se kilès mwen ye, e kilès pèp mwen an ye, pou nou ta kapab ofri ak jenewozite sa a? Paske tout bagay sòti nan Ou, e nou te bay Ou sa ki deja pa W.
But who am I, and who are my people, that we are able to give as willingly as this? For everything we have comes from you—we are only giving back what you have given us.
15 Paske nou se vwayajè devan Ou, lokatè, tankou tout zansèt nou yo te ye. Jou nou sou latè a se tankou lonbraj e nanpwen espwa.
In your eyes we are strangers and foreigners, just like our forefathers. Our time here on earth passes like a shadow, we have no hope of staying here long.
16 O SENYÈ a, Bondye pa nou an, tout abondans sa ke nou te founi pou bati yon kay pou non sen pa Ou, soti nan men Ou, e tout se pou Ou.
Lord our God, even all this wealth that we have provided to build you a house for your holy name comes from what you give, and it all belongs to you.
17 Mwen konnen tou, O Bondye mwen an, ke Ou fè sonde tout kè, e pran plezi nan ladwati. Pou mwen menm, ak yon kè entèg, mwen te ofri avèk bòn volonte tout sila yo. Epi koulye a, avèk jwa, mwen gen tan wè pèp Ou a, ki prezan isit la, pou fè sakrifis ak bòn volonte a Ou menm.
I know, my God, that you look on the inside and are happy when we live right. Everything I have given willingly and with an honest heart, and now I have seen your people here giving happily and willingly to you.
18 O SENYÈ, Bondye a Abraham nan, Issac avèk Israël, papa zansèt pa nou yo, sere sa jis pou tout tan nan entansyon kè a pèp Ou a, e dirije kè yo vè Ou menm.
Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac, Israel, and our forefathers, please keep these thoughts and commitments in the minds of your people forever, and make sure they stay loyal to you.
19 Anplis, bay a fis mwen an, Salomon, yon kè entèg pou kenbe tout kòmandman Ou yo, temwayaj Ou yo ak règleman Ou yo, pou fè tout sa, pou bati tanp lan, pou sila mwen te fè pwovizyon an.”
Please also give my son Solomon a desire to whole-heartedly keep your commandments, decrees, and statutes, and to do all he can to build your Temple that I have provided for.”
20 Konsa, David te di a tout asanble a: “Koulye a, beni SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an.” Epi tout asanble a te beni SENYÈ a, Bondye a zansèt pa yo a, e te bese ba devan SENYÈ a e ak wa a.
Then David said to everyone there, “Praise the Lord your God!” So everyone praised the Lord, the God of their fathers. They bowed down in reverence to the Lord and to the king.
21 Yo te fè sakrifis a SENYÈ a, e nan pwochèn jou a te ofri ofrann brile a SENYÈ a; mil towo, mil belye ak mil jenn mouton avèk ofrann bwason pa yo ak sakrifis an gran kantite pou tout Israël.
The following day they presented sacrifices and burnt offerings to the Lord: one thousand bulls, one thousand rams, and one thousand lambs, with their drink offerings and plenty of sacrifices for all of Israel.
22 Yo te manje ak bwè nan jou sa a devan SENYÈ a avèk kè kontan. Konsa, yo te fè Salomon, fis a David la, wa pou yon dezyèm fwa, e yo te onksyone li devan SENYÈ a pou l ta prens, ak Tsadok kon prèt la.
Then they ate and drank in the presence of the Lord with great happiness that day. They made Solomon, the son of David, king for a second time, and they anointed him as ruler for the Lord, and anointed Zadok as priest.
23 Apre, Salomon te chita sou twòn SENYÈ a kon wa olye David, papa li. Li te byen reyisi, e tout Israël te obeyi a li menm.
So Solomon took the throne of the Lord as king in place of David, his father. He was successful, and all the Israelites obeyed him.
24 Tout ofisye yo, mesye pwisan yo e anplis, tout fis a Wa David yo, te sèmante fidelite a Wa Salomon.
All the officials and warriors, as well as all of King David's sons, gave a solemn promise of loyalty to King Solomon.
25 SENYÈ a te egzalte Salomon byen wo nan zye a tout Israël, e te bay li yon majeste wayal ki pa t sou okenn wa avan li an Israël.
The Lord made Solomon highly respected throughout Israel, and gave him greater royal majesty than had been given to any king of Israel before him.
26 Alò David, fis a Jesse a te renye sou tout Israël.
So David, son of Jesse, ruled over all of Israel.
27 Fòs tan ke li te renye sou Israël la se te karantan; li te renye Hébron pandan setan e Jérusalem pandan trann-twazan.
He ruled over Israel forty years—seven in Hebron, and thirty-three in Jerusalem.
28 Epi li te mouri a yon gwo laj, trè avanse plen avèk jou, richès, avèk onè. Epi fis li a, Salomon te renye nan plas li.
David died at a good old age, having lived a long life, blessed with wealth and honor. Then his son Solomon took over and ruled in his place.
29 Alò, zèv a Wa David yo, premye a jis rive nan dènye a, yo ekri nan Kwonik a Samuel yo, konseye a, nan Kwonik a Nathan yo, pwofèt la ak nan Kwonik a Gad yo, vwayan a,
Everything that King David did, from beginning to end, is written down in the Records of Samuel the Seer, the Records of Nathan the Prophet, and the Records of Gad the Seer.
30 avèk tout règn li, pouvwa li ak sikonstans ki te rive sou li yo, sou Israël ak sou tout wayòm a peyi yo.
These include all the details of his reign, his power, and what happened to him, and to Israel, and all to the kingdoms of the neighboring countries.
