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.

Furthermore David the king said to all the congregation, Solomon my son, whom alone God hath chosen, [is yet] young and tender, and the work [is] great: for the palace [is] not 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.

Now I have prepared with all my might for the house of my God the gold for [things to be made] of gold, and the silver for [things] of silver, and the brass for [things] of brass, the iron for [things] of iron, and wood for [things] of wood; onyx-stones, and [stones] to be set, glittering stones, and of divers colors, and all manner of precious stones, and marble stones 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,

Moreover, because I have set my affection to the house of my God, I have of my own possessions, of gold and silver, [which] I have given to the house of my God, over and above all that I have prepared for the holy house,

4 kon swivan: twa mil talan lò nan lò Ophir ak sèt mil talan ajan rafine, pou kouvri mi kay yo;

[Even] three thousand talents of gold, of the gold of Ophir, and seven thousand talents of refined silver, to overlay the walls of the houses:

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?”

The gold for [things] of gold, and the silver for [things] of silver, and for all manner of work [to be made] by the hands of artificers. And who [then] is willing to consecrate his service this day to the LORD?

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 the chief of the fathers and princes of the tribes of Israel, and the captains of thousands and of hundreds, with the rulers over the king's work, offered willingly,

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.

And gave for the service of the house of God of gold five thousand talents and ten thousand drams, and of silver ten thousand talents, and of brass eighteen thousand talents, and one hundred thousand 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.

And they with whom [precious] stones were found gave [them] to the treasure of the house of the LORD, by the hand 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.

Then the people rejoiced, for that they offered willingly, because with perfect heart they offered willingly to the LORD: and David the king also rejoiced with great joy.

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.

Wherefore David blessed the LORD before all the congregation: and David said, Blessed [be] thou, LORD 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.

Thine, O LORD, [is] the greatness, and the power, and the glory, and the victory, and the majesty: for all [that is] in the heaven and on the earth [is thine]; thine [is] the kingdom, O LORD, and thou art exalted as head above 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 thee, and thou reignest over all; and in thy hand [is] power and might; and in thy hand [it is] to make 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 therefore, our God, we thank thee, and praise thy 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 what [is] my people, that we should be able to offer so willingly after this sort? for all things [come] from thee, and of thy own have we given thee.

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 before thee, and sojourners, as [were] all our fathers: our days on the earth [are] as a shadow, and [there is] no abiding.

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.

O LORD our God, all this store that we have prepared to build thee a house for thy holy name [cometh] from thy hand, and [is] all thy own.

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 thou triest the heart, and hast pleasure in uprightness. As for me, in the uprightness of my heart I have willingly offered all these things: and now have I seen with joy thy people, who are present here, to offer willingly to thee.

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.

O LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and of Israel, our fathers, keep this for ever in the imagination of the thoughts of the heart of thy people, and prepare their heart to thee:

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.”

And give to Solomon my son a perfect heart, to keep thy commandments, thy testimonies, and thy statutes, and to do all [these things], and 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.

And David said to all the congregation, Now bless the LORD your God. And all the congregation blessed the LORD God of their fathers, and bowed their heads, and worshiped the LORD, and 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.

And they sacrificed sacrifices to the LORD, and offered burnt-offerings to the LORD, on the morrow after that day, [even] a thousand bullocks, 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.

And ate and drank before the LORD on that day with great gladness. And they made Solomon the son of David king the second time, and anointed [him] to the LORD [to be] the chief governor, and 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 the throne of the LORD as king instead of David his father, and 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.

And all the princes, and the mighty men, and all the sons likewise of king David, submitted themselves to Solomon the king.

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.

And the LORD magnified Solomon exceedingly in the sight of all Israel, and bestowed upon him [such] royal majesty as had not been on any king before him in Israel.

26 Alò David, fis a Jesse a te renye sou tout Israël.

Thus David the 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.

And the time that he reigned over Israel [was] forty years; seven years he reigned in Hebron, and thirty and three [years] he reigned 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.

And he died in a good old age, full of days, riches, and honor: and Solomon his son reigned in his stead.

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,

Now the acts of David the king, first and last, behold, they [are] written in the book of Samuel the seer, and in the book of Nathan the prophet, and in the book 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.

With all his reign and his might, and the times that went over him, and over Israel, and over all the kingdoms of the countries.
