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.
Now when Solomon had finished praying, fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offerings and sacrifices, and the glory of Yahweh filled the house.
2 Prèt yo pa t kab antre lakay SENYÈ a akoz glwa SENYÈ a te ranpli kay la.
The priests could not enter the house of Yahweh, because his glory filled his house.
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,”
When all the people of Israel saw the fire come down and the glory of Yahweh over the house, they bowed down with their faces to the ground on the stone pavement and worshiped and gave thanks to Yahweh. They said, “For he is good, for his covenant loyalty endures forever.”
4 Epi wa a avèk tout pèp la te ofri sakrifis devan SENYÈ a.
So the king and all the people offered sacrifices to Yahweh.
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.
King Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty-two thousand oxen and 120,000 sheep and goats. So 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.
The priests stood, each standing where they serve; the Levites also with instruments of music of Yahweh, which David the king had made to give thanks to Yahweh in the song, “For his covenant faithfulness endures for ever.” All the priests sounded 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 set apart the middle of the courtyard in front of the house of Yahweh. There he offered the burnt offerings and the fat of the fellowship offerings, because the bronze altar that he had made was not able to hold the burnt offerings, the grain offerings, 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.
So Solomon held the festival at that time for seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great assembly, from Lebo Hamath to the brook 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.
On the eighth day they held a solemn assembly, for they kept the dedication of the altar for seven days, and the feast for 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.
On the twenty-third day of the seventh month, Solomon sent the people away to their homes with glad and joyful hearts because of the goodness that Yahweh had shown to David, Solomon, and 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.
Thus Solomon finished the house of Yahweh and his own house. Everything that came into Solomon's heart to make in the house of Yahweh and in his own house, he successfully carried out.
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.
Yahweh appeared to Solomon by night and said to him, “I have heard your prayer, and I have chosen this place for myself as 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,
Suppose that I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or if I command the locust to devour the land, or if I send disease 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.
then if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves, pray, seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land.
15 Koulye a, zye M va louvri e zòrèy Mwen va vin atantif a lapriyè ki ofri nan plas sa a.
Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayers that are made 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 now chosen and set apart this house that my name may be there forever. My eyes and my heart will be there every day.
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,
As for you, if you walk before me as David your father walked, obeying all that I have commanded you and keeping my statutes and my decrees,
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.’
then I will establish the throne of your kingdom, as I said in a covenant with David your father, when I said, 'A descendant of yours will never fail 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 statutes and my commandments that I have placed before you, and if you go worship other gods and bow down to 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.
then I will uproot them from out of my ground that I have given them. This house that I have set apart for my name, I will cast away from before me, and I will make it a proverb and a joke among all the peoples.
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?
Even though this temple is so lofty now, everyone who passes by it will be shocked and will hiss. They will ask, 'Why has Yahweh done this 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.’”
Others will answer, 'Because they forsook Yahweh, their God, who had brought their ancestors out of the land of Egypt, and they laid hold of other gods and bowed down to them and worshiped them. That is why Yahweh has brought all this disaster on them.'”
