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.
And David the king saith to all the assembly, 'Solomon my son — the one on whom God hath fixed — [is] young and tender, and the work [is] great, for not for man is the palace, but for Jehovah 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.
and with all my power I have prepared for the house of my God, the gold for [things of] gold, and the silver for [those of] silver, and the brass for [those of] brass, the iron for [those of] iron, and the wood for [those of] wood, shoham stones, and settings, and stones of painting and of diverse colours, and all [kinds of] precious stone, and stones of white marble, 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,
'And again, because of my delighting in the house of my God, the substance I have — a peculiar treasure of gold and silver — I have given for the house of my God, even over and above all I have prepared for the house of the sanctuary:
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, 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?”
even gold for [things of] gold, and silver for [those of] silver, and for all the work by the hand of artificers; and who [is] he that is offering willingly to consecrate his hand to-day to Jehovah?'
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;
And the heads of the fathers, and the heads of the tribes of Israel, and the heads of the thousands, and of the hundreds, even to the heads of the work of the king, offer 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 they give for the service of the house of God, of gold — talents five thousand, and drams a myriad; and of silver — talents ten thousand, and of brass — a myriad and eight thousand talents; and of iron — a hundred thousand talents;
8 Nenpòt moun ki te posede pyè presye, yo te bay yo a trezò lakay SENYÈ a, sou jerans a Jehiel, Gèshonit lan.
and he with whom stones are found hath given to the treasury of the house of Jehovah, 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.
And the people rejoice because of their offering willingly, for with a perfect heart they have offered willingly to Jehovah; and also David the king hath rejoiced — 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.
And David blesseth Jehovah before the eyes of all the assembly, and David saith, 'Blessed [art] Thou, Jehovah, God of Israel our father, from age even unto age.
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.
To Thee, O Jehovah, [is] the greatness, and the might, and the beauty, and the victory, and the honour, because of all in the heavens and in the earth; to Thee, O Jehovah, [is] the kingdom, and he who is lifting up himself over all for head;
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.
and the riches, and the honour [are] from before Thee, and Thou art ruling over all, and in Thy hand [is] power and might, and in Thy hand, 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.
'And now, our God, we are giving thanks to Thee, and giving praise to Thy beauteous 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.
yea, because, who [am] I, and who [are] my people, that we retain power to offer thus willingly? but of Thee [is] the whole, and out of Thy hand we have given to 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 sojourners we [are] before Thee, and settlers, like all our fathers; as a shadow [are] our days on the land, and there is none 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 Jehovah our God, all this store that we have prepared to build to Thee a house, for Thy holy name, [is] out of Thy hand, and of Thee [is] the whole.
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.
'And I have known, my God, that Thou art trying the heart, and uprightness dost desire; I, in the uprightness of my heart, have willingly offered all these: and now, Thy people who are found here I have seen with joy 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 Jehovah, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, our fathers, keep this to the age for the imagination of the thoughts of the heart of Thy people, and prepare their heart unto 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 to Solomon my son give a perfect heart, to keep Thy commands, Thy testimonies, and Thy statutes, and to do the whole, even to build the palace [for] which I have prepared.'
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 saith to all the assembly, 'Bless, I pray you, Jehovah your God;' and all the assembly bless Jehovah, God of their fathers, and bow and do obeisance to Jehovah, 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.
And they sacrifice to Jehovah sacrifices, and cause to ascend burnt-offerings to Jehovah on the morrow of that day, bullocks a thousand, rams a thousand, lambs a thousand, and their oblations, even 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 they eat and drink before Jehovah on that day with great joy, and cause Solomon son of David to reign a second time, and anoint [him] before Jehovah for leader, and Zadok for 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.
And Solomon sitteth on the throne of Jehovah for king instead of David his father, and prospereth, and all Israel hearken unto 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 heads, and the mighty men, and also all the sons of king David have given a hand under 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 Jehovah maketh Solomon exceedingly great before the eyes of all Israel, and putteth upon him the honour of the kingdom that hath not been on any king over Israel before him.
26 Alò David, fis a Jesse a te renye sou tout Israël.
And David son of Jesse hath 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 days that he hath reigned over Israel [are] forty years; in Hebron he reigned seven years, and in Jerusalem he reigned thirty and three;
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 dieth in a good old age, satisfied with days, riches, and honour, and reign doth Solomon his son 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,
And the matters of David the king, the first and the last, lo, they are written beside the matters of Samuel the seer, and beside the matters of Nathan the prophet, and beside the matters 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 kingdoms of the lands.
