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.
King David said to the whole assembly, “Solomon my son, whom alone God has chosen, is still young and inexperienced, and the task is great. For the temple is not for people but for Yahweh 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.
So I have done my best to provide for the temple of my God. I am giving gold for the things to be made of gold, silver for the things to be made of silver, bronze for the things to be made of bronze, iron for the things to be made of iron, and wood for the things to be made of wood. I am also giving onyx stones, stones to be set, stones for inlaid work of various colors—all kinds of precious stones—and marble stone in abundance.
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,
Now, because of my delight in the house of my God, I am giving my personal treasure of gold and silver for it. I am doing this in addition to all that I have prepared for this holy temple:
4 kon swivan: twa mil talan lò nan lò Ophir ak sèt mil talan ajan rafine, pou kouvri mi kay yo;
three thousand talents of gold from Ophir, and seven thousand talents of refined silver, in order to overlay 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?”
I am donating gold for the things to be made of gold, and silver for the things to be made of silver, and things for all kinds of work to be done by craftsmen. Who else wants to make a contribution to Yahweh today and give himself to him?”
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;
Then freewill offerings were made by the leaders of their ancestors' families, the leaders of the tribes of Israel, the commanders of thousands and hundreds, and by the officials over 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 for the service of God's house five thousand talents and ten thousand darics of gold, ten thousand talents of silver, eighteen thousand 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 Yahweh's house, under the supervision of Jehiel, a descendant of Gershon.
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 rejoiced because of these freewill offerings, because they had contributed wholeheartedly to Yahweh. King David also rejoiced greatly.
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.
David blessed Yahweh in front of all the assembly. He said, “May you be praised, Yahweh, God of Israel our ancestor, forever 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.
Yours, Yahweh, is the greatness, the power, the glory, the victory, and the majesty. For all that is in the heavens and on the earth is yours. Yours is the kingdom, Yahweh, and you are exalted as ruler over 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.
Both riches and honor come from you, and you rule over all people. In your hand is power and might. You possess the strength and might to make people great and to give strength to anyone.
13 Koulye a, pou sa, Bondye nou an, nou remèsye Ou, e bay glwa a non Ou ki plen ak glwa a.
Now then, our God, we thank you and praise your glorious name.
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 should be able to offer so willingly these things? Indeed, all things come from you, and we have simply given back to you what is yours.
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.
For we are strangers and travelers before you, as all our ancestors were. Our days on the earth are like a shadow, and there is no hope of remaining on earth.
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.
Yahweh our God, all this wealth that we have collected in order to build a temple to honor your holy name—it comes from you and 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 also, my God, that you examine the heart and have pleasure in uprightness. As for me, in the uprightness of my heart I have willingly offered all these things, and now I look with joy as your people who are present here willingly offer gifts 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.
Yahweh, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel—our ancestors—keep this forever in the thoughts of the minds of your people. Direct their hearts toward 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.”
Give to Solomon my son a wholehearted desire to keep your commandments, your covenant decrees, and your statutes, and to carry out all these plans to build the palace for which I have made provision.”
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.
David said to all the assembly, “Now bless Yahweh your God.” All the assembly blessed Yahweh, the God of their ancestors, bowed their heads and worshiped Yahweh and prostrated themselves before 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.
On the next day, they made sacrifices to Yahweh and offered burnt offerings to him. They offered a thousand bulls, a thousand rams, and a thousand lambs, with their drink offerings and sacrifices in abundance for all 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.
On that day, they ate and drank before Yahweh with great celebration. They made Solomon, David's son, king a second time, and anointed him with Yahweh's authority to be ruler. They also anointed Zadok to be 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.
Then Solomon sat on Yahweh's throne as king instead of David his father. He prospered, and all Israel 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 leaders, soldiers, and King David's sons gave allegiance 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.
Yahweh greatly honored Solomon before all Israel and bestowed on him greater power than he had ever given to any king before him in Israel.
26 Alò David, fis a Jesse a te renye sou tout Israël.
David son of Jesse reigned over all 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.
David had been king of Israel for forty years. He ruled for seven years in Hebron and for thirty-three years 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.
He died at a good old age, after enjoying a long life, wealth and honor. Solomon his son succeeded him.
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,
King David's accomplishments are written in the history of Samuel the prophet, in the history of Nathan the prophet, and in the history of Gad the prophet.
30 avèk tout règn li, pouvwa li ak sikonstans ki te rive sou li yo, sou Israël ak sou tout wayòm a peyi yo.
Recorded there are the deeds of his rule, his accomplishments and the events that affected him, Israel, and all the kingdoms of the other lands.
