2 Samyèl 7

1 Alò, li te vin rive ke pandan wa a te rete lakay li a, e SENYÈ a te ba li repo tout kote sou lènmi li yo,

Afterwarde when the King sate in his house and the Lord had giuen him rest rounde about from all his enemies,

2 ke wa a te vin di a Nathan, pwofèt la: “Gade koulye a, Mwen menm rete nan yon kay ki fèt ak bwa sèd; men lach Bondye a rete anndan yon tant ki fèt ak rido.”

The King saide vnto Nathan the Prophet, Beholde, nowe I dwel in an house of cedar trees, and the Arke of God remayneth within the curtaines.

3 Nathan te di a wa a: “Ale, fè tout sa ki nan tèt ou, paske SENYÈ a avèk ou.”

Then Nathan sayde vnto the King, Go, and doe all that is in thine heart: for the Lord is with thee.

4 Men nan menm nwit lan, pawòl SENYÈ a te vini a Nathan e te di:

And the same night the worde of the Lord came vnto Nathan, saying,

5 “Ale e pale a sèvitè Mwen an, David: ‘Se konsa SENYÈ a pale, “Èske se ou menm ki ta dwe bati yon kay pou Mwen ta vin rete ladann?

Goe and tell my seruant Dauid, Thus saieth the Lord, Shalt thou buylde me an house for my dwelling?

6 Paske Mwen pa t rete nan yon kay depi jou ke M te mennen fè sòti fis Israël yo an Égypte, jis rive jodi a. Men Mwen te konn deplase patou nan yon tant, menm yon tabènak.

For I haue dwelt in no house since the time that I brought the children of Israel out of Egypt vnto this day, but haue walked in a tent and tabernacle.

7 Nenpòt kote ke M te ale avèk tout fis Israël yo, èske M te pale yon sèl pawòl avèk youn nan tribi a Israël yo, ke M te kòmande pou fè bèje a pèp Mwen an, Israël, pou di: ‘Poukisa ou pa t bati pou Mwen yon kay ki fèt an sèd?’

In al the places wherein I haue walked with all the children of Israel, spake I one worde with any of the tribes of Israel when I commanded the iudges to feede my people Israel? or sayde I, Why build ye not me an house of cedar trees?

8 Alò pou sa, konsa ou va di a sèvitè Mwen an, David: ‘Konsa pale SENYÈ dèzame yo; Mwen te pran ou soti nan patiraj la, soti nan swiv mouton, pou devni yon chèf sou pèp Mwen an, Israël.

Nowe therefore so say vnto my seruant Dauid, Thus saieth the Lord of hostes, I tooke thee from the sheepecote following the sheepe, that thou mightest bee ruler ouer my people, ouer Israel.

9 Mwen te toujou avèk ou nenpòt kote ou te ale, e Mwen te retire lènmi ou yo soti devan ou. Konsa, Mwen va fè de ou yon gwo non, tankou non a gwo moun ki sou latè yo.

And I was with thee wheresoeuer thou hast walked, and haue destroyed all thine enemies out of thy sight, and haue made thee a great name, like vnto the name of the great men that are in the earth.

10 Mwen va, osi, etabli yon plas pou pèp Mwen an, Israël. Mwen va plante yo, pou yo kab viv nan pwòp plas yo e pou yo pa vin deranje ankò, ni pou mechan pa aflije yo ankò tankou lontan,

(Also I will appoynt a place for my people Israel, and will plant it, that they may dwell in a place of their owne, and moue no more, neither shall wicked people trouble them any more as before time,

11 menm soti nan jou ke M te kòmande jij yo pou vin sou pèp Mwen an, Israël. Epi Mwen va ba ou repo sou tout lènmi ou yo. SENYÈ a va osi deklare a ou menm ke SENYÈ a va fè yon kay pou ou.

And since the time that I set Iudges ouer my people of Israel) and I will giue thee rest from al thine enemies: also the Lord telleth thee, that he will make thee an house.

12 Lè jou ou yo fin pase e ou kouche avèk zansèt ou yo, Mwen va fè vin leve desandan apre ou, ki va vin sòti nan ou menm e Mwen va etabli wayòm li.

And when thy daies bee fulfilled, thou shalt sleepe with thy fathers, and I wil set vp thy seede after thee, which shall proceede out of thy body, and will stablish his kingdome.

13 Li va bati yon kay pou non Mwen e Mwen va etabli twòn wayòm li a jis pou tout tan.

He shall buyld an house for my Name, and I will stablish ye throne of his kingdome for euer.

14 Mwen va yon papa a li menm e li va yon fis pou Mwen. Lè li fè inikite, Mwen va korije li avèk baton lòm nan, ak kout fwèt a fis a lòm yo.

I will be his father, and hee shall bee my sonne: and if he sinne, I will chasten him with the rod of men, and with the plagues of the children of men.

15 Men mizerikòd Mwen p ap sòti sou li jan Mwen te retire li sou Saül, ke Mwen te fè vin retire devan ou an.

But my mercy shall not depart away from him, as I tooke it from Saul whome I haue put away before thee.

16 Lakay ou ak wayòm ou va dire devan Mwen pou tout tan. Twòn ou an va etabli pou tout tan.”’”

And thine house shall be stablished and thy kingdome for euer before thee, euen thy throne shalbe stablished for euer.

17 An akò avèk tout pawòl sila yo, tout vizyon sila yo, Nathan te pale avèk David.

According to all these wordes, and according to all this vision, Nathan spake thus vnto Dauid.

18 Epi David, wa a, te antre chita devan SENYÈ a. Li te di: “Se kilès mwen ye, O Mèt BONDYE e se kisa lakay mwen ye, pou Ou te mennen mwen jis rive isit la?

Then King Dauid went in, and sate before the Lord, and sayde, Who am I, O Lord God, and what is mine house, that thou hast brought me hitherto?

19 Epi anplis, sa te yon ti bagay nan zye Ou, O Mèt BONDYE, paske Ou te pale osi pa lakay sèvitè Ou a, de avni byen lwen an. Epi sa se koutim a lòm, O Mèt BONDYE

And this was yet a small thing in thy sight, O Lord God, therefore thou hast spoken also of thy seruants house for a great while: but doth this appertaine to man, O Lord God?

20 Ankò, ki bagay anplis David kab di Ou? Paske Ou konnen sèvitè Ou a, O Mèt, BONDYE!

And what can Dauid say more vnto thee? for thou, Lord God, knowest thy seruant.

21 Pou koz a pawòl Ou e selon pwòp kè Ou, Ou te fè tout gwo bagay sila yo pou fè sèvitè Ou konnen.

For thy words sake, and according to thine owne heart hast thou done all these great things, to make them knowen vnto thy seruant.

22 Pou rezon sa a, Ou gran, O Mèt BONDYE; paske nanpwen lòt tankou Ou menm e nanpwen lòt dye sof ke Ou menm, selon tout sa ke nou te tande avèk pwòp zòrèy nou.

Wherefore thou art great, O Lord God: for there is none like thee, neither is there any God besides thee, according to all that wee haue heard with our eares.

23 Epi ki lòt nasyon sou latè ki tankou pèp Ou a, Israël, ke Bondye te ale peye ranson pou Li menm kòm yon pèp, e pou fè yon non pou Li menm; pou fè yon gran bagay pou Ou ak bagay mèvèy pou peyi Ou a, devan pèp ke Ou te peye ranson pou kont Ou sòti an Égypte la, nan mitan nasyon yo, avèk dye pa yo.

And what one people in the earth is like thy people, like Israel? whose God went and redeemed them to himselfe, that they might be his people, and that hee might make him a name, and do for you great things, and terrible for thy land, O Lord, euen for thy people, whome thou redeemedst to thee out of Egypt, from the nations, and their gods?

24 Paske Ou te etabli pou kont Ou, pèp Ou a, Israël kòm pèp Ou pou tout tan, e Ou menm, O SENYÈ a te devni Bondye pa yo.

For thou hast ordeyned to thy selfe thy people Israel to be thy people for euer: and thou Lord art become their God.

25 “Pou sa, koulye a, O SENYÈ Bondye, pawòl ke Ou te pale konsènan sèvitè Ou avèk lakay li a, konfime nèt e fè jan Ou te pale a.

Nowe therefore, O Lord God, confirme for euer the word that thou hast spoken concerning thy seruant and his house, and doe as thou hast sayde.

26 Kite non Ou kapab vin resevwa glwa jis pou tout tan, pou di: ‘SENYÈ dèzame a se Bondye sou Israël la; epi pou lakay a sèvitè Ou a kapab vin etabli devan Ou.’

And let thy Name bee magnified for euer by them that shall say, The Lord of hostes is the God ouer Israel: and let the house of thy seruant Dauid be stablished before thee.

27 Paske Ou menm, O SENYÈ, Bondye a Israël la, te fè yon revelasyon a sèvitè Ou a e te di: ‘Mwen va bati yon kay pou ou’. Pou sa, sèvitè Ou a te jwenn kouraj pou fè priyè sila a, a Ou menm.

For thou, O Lord of hostes, God of Israel, hast reueiled vnto thy seruant, saying, I will build thee an house: therefore hath thy seruant bene bold to pray this prayer vnto thee.

28 “Alò, O Senyè BONDYE, Ou se Bondye. Pawòl Ou se verite e Ou te pwomèt bon bagay sila a a sèvitè pa Ou a.

Therefore now, O Lord God, (for thou art God, and thy words be true, and thou hast tolde this goodnes vnto thy seruant)

29 Alò, pou sa, pou li kapab fè Ou plezi pou beni lakay sèvitè pa Ou a, pou li kapab kontinye pou tout tan devan Ou. Paske Ou menm, O Senyè BONDYE, te pale; epi avèk benediksyon pa Ou, pou lakay sèvitè Ou a kapab beni pou tout tan.”

Therefore nowe let it please thee to blesse the house of thy seruant, that it may continue for euer before thee: for thou, O Lord God, hast spoken it: and let the house of thy seruant be blessed for euer, with thy blessing.
