2 Istwa 7

1 Alò, lè Salomon te fin fè priyè a, dife a te sòti nan syèl la pou te boule ofrann brile a avèk sakrifis yo; e glwa a SENYÈ a te ranpli kay la.

And when Solomon had made an end of his prayer, Are came down from heaven, and consumed the holocausts and the victims: and the majesty of the Lord tilled the house.

2 Prèt yo pa t kab antre lakay SENYÈ a akoz glwa SENYÈ a te ranpli kay la.

Neither could the priests enter into the temple of the Lord, because the majesty of the Lord had filled the temple of the Lord.

3 Tout fis Israël yo, lè yo te wè dife a desann, e glwa SENYÈ a sou kay la, yo te bese ba sou pave a avèk figi yo atè pou yo te adore e te bay lwanj a SENYÈ a. Yo te di: “Konsa Li bon, paske lanmou dous Li a dire pou tout tan,”

Moreover all the children of Israel saw the fire coming down, and the glory of the Lord upon the house: and falling down with their faces to the ground, upon the stone pavement, they adored and praised the Lord: because he is good, because his mercy endureth for ever.

4 Epi wa a avèk tout pèp la te ofri sakrifis devan SENYÈ a.

And the king and all the people sacrificed victims before the Lord.

5 Wa Salomon te ofri yon sakrifis a venn-de-mil bèf ak san-ven-mil mouton. Konsa, wa a avèk tout pèp la te dedye kay Bondye a.

And king Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty-two thousand oxen, and one hundred and twenty thousand rams: and the king and all the people dedicated the house of God.

6 Prèt yo te kanpe nan pòs pa yo, e Levit yo tou avèk enstriman mizik a SENYÈ a, ke Wa David te fè pou bay lwanj a SENYÈ a lè David te bay lwanj sèvis yo. E yo te di, “Paske lanmou dous Li a dire pou tout tan”. Konsa, prèt yo te soufle twonpèt devan yo, epi tout Israël te kanpe.

And the priests stood in their offices: and the Levites with the instruments of music of the Lord, which king David made to praise the Lord: because his mercy endureth for ever, singing the hymns of David by their ministry: and the priests sounded with trumpets before them, and all Israel stood.

7 Salomon te konsakre mitan lakou ki te devan kay SENYÈ a pou fè l sen. Paske la, li te ofri ofrann brile ak grès ofrann lapè yo akoz lotèl an bwonz ke Salomon te fè a pa t kab kenbe ofrann brile a, ofrann sereyal la ak grès la.

Solomon also sanctified the middle of the court before the temple of the Lord: for he offered there the holocausts, and the fat of the peace offerings: because the brazen altar, which he had made, could not hold the holocausts and the sacrifices and the fat:

8 Konsa, Salomon te obsève fèt la nan tan sa a pandan sèt jou e tout Israël avèk li; yon trè gran asanble ki te sòti depi nan antre Hamath jis rive nan flèv Égypte la.

And Solomon kept the solemnity at that time seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great congregation, from the entrance of Emath to the torrent of Egypt.

9 Nan uityèm jou a, yo te kenbe yon asanble solanèl pou obsève dedikasyon lotèl la. Yo te obsève l pou sèt jou, e fèt la pandan sèt jou.

And he made on the eighth day a solemn assembly, because he had kept the dedication of the altar seven days, and had celebrated the solemnity seven days.

10 Epi sou venn-twazyèm jou nan setyèm mwa a, li te voye pèp la nan tant yo, ranpli avèk jwa e avèk kè kontan, akoz bonte ke SENYÈ a te montre a David, a Salomon e a pèp Li a, Israël.

So on the three and twentieth day of the seventh month he sent away the people to their dwellings, joyful and glad for the good that the Lord had done to David, and to Solomon, and to all Israel his people.

11 Se konsa Salomon te fini kay SENYÈ a avèk palè wa a, e li te acheve nèt tout sa ke li te fè plan pou fè lakay SENYÈ a ak nan kay pa li a.

And Solomon finished the house of the Lord, and the king’s house, and all that he had designed in his heart to do, in the house of the Lord, and in his own house, and he prospered.

12 Konsa, SENYÈ a te parèt a Salomon nan nwit lan. Li te di l: “Mwen te tande lapriyè ou a, e Mwen te chwazi plas sa a pou Mwen menm kòm yon kay sakrifis.

And the Lord appeared to him by night, and said: I have heard thy prayer, and I have chosen this place to myself for a house of sacrifice.

13 “Si Mwen vin fèmen syèl yo pou pa gen lapli, oswa si Mwen kòmande krikèt yo pou devore latè, oswa si Mwen voye toumant pami pèp Mwen an,

If I shut up heaven, and there fall no rain, or if I give orders, and command the locust to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people:

14 epi pèp Mwen ki rele pa non Mwen an vin imilye yo, priye, chache fas Mwen e vire kite abitid mechan yo; nan moman sa a, Mwen va tande yo soti nan syèl la. Mwen va padone peche pa yo, e Mwen va geri peyi yo.

And my people, upon whom my name is called, being converted, shall make supplication to me, and seek out my face, and do penance for their most wicked ways: then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sins and will heal their land.

15 Koulye a, zye M va louvri e zòrèy Mwen va vin atantif a lapriyè ki ofri nan plas sa a.

My eyes also shall be open, and my ears attentive to the prayer of him that shall pray in this place.

16 Paske koulye a, Mwen gen tan chwazi e konsakre kay sila a pou non Mwen kapab la jis pou tout tan. Zye Mwen ak kè Mwen va la pou tout tan.

For I have chosen, and have sanctified this place, that my name may be there for ever, and my eyes and my heart may remain there perpetually.

17 “Epi pou ou menm, si ou mache devan M tankou papa ou, David te mache a, fè selon tout sa ke Mwen te kòmande ou yo, e kenbe règleman Mwen yo avèk òdonans Mwen yo,

And as for thee, if thou walk before me, as David thy father walked, and do according to all that I have commanded thee, and keep my justices and my judgments:

18 alò, Mwen va etabli twòn wayal ou a jan Mwen te sèmante a David la, lè M te di: ‘Ou p ap manke yon nonm ki pou gouvène an Israël.’

I will raise up the throne of thy kingdom, as I promised to David thy father, saying: There shall not fail thee a man of thy stock to be ruler in Israel.

19 “Men si ou vire kite e abandone règleman Mwen yo, avèk kòmandman ke M te mete devan ou yo, pou ale sèvi lòt dye yo e adore yo,

But if you turn away, and forsake my justices, and my commandments which I have set before you, and shall go and serve strange gods, and adore them,

20 alò, Mwen va dechouke ou soti nan peyi ke M te ba ou a, ak kay sa a, ke Mwen te konsakre pou non pa Mwen an, Mwen va jete l andeyò vizaj Mwen, e Mwen va fè li yon pwovèb ak yon rizib pami tout pèp yo.

I will pluck you up by the root out of my land which I have given you: and this house which I have sanctified to my name, I will cast away from before my face, and will make it a byword, and an example among all nations.

21 Epi pou kay sila a, ki egzalte tèlman wo, tout moun ki pase kote li va etone e va di: “Poukisa SENYÈ a te fè sa a peyi sila a, e a kay sila a?

And this house shall be for a proverb to all that pass by, and they shall be astonished and say: Why hath the Lord done thus to this land, and to this house?

22 Epi konsa, yo va reponn: ‘Akoz yo te abandone SENYÈ a, Bondye a zansèt pa yo a, ki te mennen yo soti nan peyi Égypte la, pou yo te adopte lòt dye yo, e te adore yo e te sèvi yo. Se pou sa, Li te mennen tout mal sila a sou yo.’”

And they shall answer: Because they forsook the Lord the God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and laid hold on strange gods, and adored them, and worshipped them: therefore all these evils are come upon them.
