2 Chronicles 6
1 Then said Solomon: Jehovah said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.
Lè sa a, Salomon di konsa: -Seyè, ou di ou pito viv kote ki fè nwa.
2 But I have built a house of habitation for thee, even a settled place for thee to abide in for ever.
Koulye a, mwen bati yon tanp pou ou ka rete, yon kay kote ou pral viv pou tout tan.
3 And the king turned his face and blessed the whole congregation of Israel; and the whole congregation of Israel stood.
Lèfini, wa a vire, li bay pèp Izrayèl la fas. Tout pèp la te kanpe. Li mande benediksyon Bondye pou pèp la,
4 And he said: Blessed be Jehovah the God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth unto David my father, and hath with his hands fulfilled it, saying,
li di: -Lwanj pou Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la! Avèk fòs kouraj li, li kenbe pwomès li te fè David, papa m' lan, lè li te di l' konsa:
5 Since the day that I brought forth my people out of the land of Egypt I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build a house in, that my name might be there; neither chose I any man to be prince over my people Israel:
Depi jou mwen te fè pèp mwen an soti kite peyi Lejip, mwen pa janm chwazi yon lavil nan tout peyi pèp Izrayèl la pou yo bati yon tanp ladan l' pou mwen rete, ni mwen pa t' chwazi pesonn pou gouvènen pèp mwen an, pèp Izrayèl la.
6 but I have chosen Jerusalem, that my name might be there; and I have chosen David to be over my people Israel.
Men koulye a, mwen chwazi lavil Jerizalèm pou se la yo fè sèvis pou mwen, lèfini mwen chwazi David pou li gouvènen pèp mwen an.
7 And it was in the heart of David my father to build a house unto the name of Jehovah the God of Israel.
David, papa m', te fè lide bati yon tanp pou Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la,
8 But Jehovah said to David my father, Whereas it was in thy heart to build a house unto my name, thou didst well that it was in thy heart;
Men, Seyè a te di l': Ou byen fèt gen lide bati yon kay pou mwen.
9 nevertheless thou shalt not build the house; but thy son that shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house unto my name.
Men, se pa ou ki va bati l'. Se pwòp pitit gason w'ap fè a ki va bati tanp lan pou mwen.
10 And Jehovah has performed his word which he spoke; and I am risen up in the room of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as Jehovah promised, and I have built the house unto the name of Jehovah the God of Israel.
Koulye a, Seyè a kenbe pwomès li. Jan li te di l' la, se mwen menm ki nan plas David, papa m'. Mwen chita sou fotèy wa Izrayèl la. Mwen bati yon tanp pou Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la.
11 And in it have I put the ark, wherein is the covenant of Jehovah, which he made with the children of Israel.
Lèfini, mwen fè yon plas ladan l' pou Bwat Kontra Seyè a, kontra li te pase ak moun pèp Izrayèl yo.
12 And he stood before the altar of Jehovah in the presence of the whole congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands.
Apre sa, Salomon al kanpe devan lotèl Seyè a, devan tout pèp Izrayèl la, li leve de men l' anlè pou l' lapriyè.
13 For Solomon had made a platform of bronze, five cubits long, and five cubits broad, and three cubits high, and had set it in the midst of the court; and upon it he stood, and he kneeled down on his knees before the whole congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward the heavens,
Salomon te fè fè yon platfòm an kwiv. Li fè yo mete l' nan mitan lakou a. Platfòm lan te kare kare, wit pye longè, wit pye lajè ak senk pye wotè. Li moute sou li, li mete ajenou devan tout pèp Izrayèl la. Li leve de men l' anlè,
14 and said, Jehovah, God of Israel! there is no God like thee, in the heavens or on the earth, who keepest covenant and mercy with thy servants that walk before thee with all their heart;
epi li di: -Seyè, ou menm ki Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, pa gen Bondye tankou ou ni nan syèl ni sou latè. Ou kenbe kontra ou te siyen ak pèp ou a. Ou moutre jan ou renmen moun k'ap sèvi ou ak tout kè yo.
15 who hast kept with thy servant David my father that which thou didst promise him; thou spokest with thy mouth, and hast fulfilled [it] with thy hand as at this day.
Ou te kenbe pwomès ou te fè David, papa m', sèvitè ou la. Tou sa ou te di w'ap fè, ou fè l' rive vre jòdi a ak fòs ponyèt ou.
16 And now, Jehovah, God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father that which thou hast promised him saying, There shall not fail thee a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel, if only thy sons take heed to their way to walk in my law, as thou hast walked before me.
Se poutèt sa, Seyè, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, m'ap mande ou pou ou kenbe lòt pwomès ou te fè David, papa m', sèvitè ou la, lè ou te di l' va toujou gen yonn nan pitit li yo pou gouvènen pèp Izrayèl la, depi yo veye jan y'ap mache pou yo mennen bak yo devan ou jan li menm li te fè l' la.
17 And now, Jehovah, God of Israel, let thy word be verified which thou hast spoken unto thy servant David.
Se konsa, Seyè, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, fè tout bagay rive jan ou te fè pwomès la bay David, sèvitè ou la.
18 But will God indeed dwell with man on the earth? behold, the heavens and the heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house which I have built!
Men, Bondye, èske ou ka rete tout bon sou latè ak moun? Ata syèl la pa laj ase pou l' kenbe ou! Ale wè pou ti kay mwen bati pou ou la a!
19 Yet have respect unto the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplication, Jehovah, my God, to hearken unto the cry and to the prayer which thy servant prayeth before thee;
Seyè, Bondye m', tanpri, se sèvitè ou mwen ye! Tanpri, tande jan m'ap lapriyè nan pye ou. Koute jan m'ap rele nan zòrèy ou jòdi a. Tande jan m'ap rele, jan m'ap lapriyè nan pye ou.
20 that thine eyes may be open upon this house day and night, upon the place in which thou hast said thou wouldest put thy name: to hearken unto the prayer which thy servant prayeth toward this place.
Lajounen kou lannwit, voye je ou sou tanp lan, tanp kote ou te di w'ap toujou la a. Koute lapriyè mwen menm, sèvitè ou la, m'ap fè nan pye ou.
21 And hearken unto the supplications of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, which they shall pray toward this place, and hear thou from thy dwelling-place, from the heavens, and when thou hearest, forgive.
Wi, koute lapriyè m'ap fè ak lapriyè pèp Izrayèl ou a ap fè nan pye ou isit la. Nan syèl kote ou rete a, koute lapriyè nou, padonnen nou.
22 If a man have sinned against his neighbour, and an oath be laid upon him to adjure him, and the oath come before thine altar in this house;
Lè y'a pote plent pou yon moun ki fè frè l' yon bagay mal, si yo mande l' pou l' fè sèman se pa vre, epi li vin fè sèman an devan lotèl ou a, nan tanp sa a,
23 then hear thou from the heavens, and do, and judge thy servants, requiting the wicked, to bring his way upon his own head; and justifying the righteous, giving him according to his righteousness.
ou menm, Seyè ki nan syèl la, w'a tande, w'a fè sa ki gen pou fèt la. W'a jije sèvitè ou yo. W'a pini moun ki koupab la, w'a fè chatiman li merite a tonbe sou tèt li. W'a fè rekonèt lè yon moun inonsan pou yo ka rann li jistis.
24 And if thy people Israel be put to the worse before the enemy, because they have sinned against thee, and shall turn again and confess thy name, and pray, and make supplication before thee in this house;
Lè lènmi va bat pèp Izrayèl la paske pèp la te peche kont ou, si yo tounen vin jwenn ou, si yo fè lwanj pou ou, si yo vin lapriyè nan pye ou isit la nan kay sa a,
25 then hear thou from the heavens, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them again unto the land that thou gavest to them and to their fathers.
tanpri, kote ou ye nan syèl la, koute yo. Padonnen peche pèp Izrayèl ou a, fè yo tounen nan peyi ou te ba yo ansanm ak zansèt yo a.
26 When the heavens are shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against thee; if they pray toward this place, and confess thy name, and turn from their sin, because thou hast afflicted them;
Lè va gen chechrès nan peyi a san yon ti degout lapli, paske pèp la te peche kont ou, si yo règrèt sa yo te fè a paske ou te pini yo, si yo vin lapriyè isit la, si yo fè lwanj ou,
27 then hear thou in the heavens, and forgive the sin of thy servants, and of thy people Israel, when thou teachest them the good way wherein they should walk; and give rain upon thy land, which thou hast given to thy people for an inheritance.
tanpri, kote ou ye nan syèl la, koute yo. Padonnen peche sèvitè ou yo ak peche moun pèp Izrayèl ou yo. Moutre yo bon chemen pou yo pran an. Apre sa, Seyè, w'a voye lapli sou peyi ou te bay pèp ou a pou l' rele l' pa l' la.
28 If there be famine in the land, if there be pestilence, if there be blight or mildew, locust or caterpillar; if their enemies besiege them in the land of their gates; whatever plague or whatever sickness there be:
Lè va gen grangou nan peyi a, osinon lè move maladi lapès va tonbe sou li, lè plant yo va cheche nan van cho, lè krikèt ak chwal bondye va ravaje jaden yo, lè lènmi va sènen lavil nou yo pou atake pèp la, lè nenpòt maladi osinon nenpòt malè va tonbe sou pèp la,
29 what prayer, what supplication soever be made by any man, or by all thy people Israel, when they shall know every man his own plague, and his own grief, and shall spread forth his hands toward this house;
koute lapriyè y'ap fè nan pye ou. Lè nenpòt moun osinon tout pèp la va lapriyè nan pye ou, lè y'a règrèt sa yo fè a, lè y'a leve men yo nan direksyon tanp lan pou yo lapriyè ou,
30 then hear thou from the heavens, the settled place of thy dwelling, and forgive, and render unto every man according to all his ways, whose heart thou knowest (for thou, thou only, knowest the hearts of the children of men),
tanpri, kote ou ye nan syèl kote ou rete a, koute lapriyè yo, padonnen yo. Bay chak moun sa yo merite, paske ou konnen sa ki nan kè yo. Se ou menm ki konnen sa ki nan fon kè moun.
31 that they may fear thee, to walk in thy ways, all the days that they live upon the land which thou gavest unto our fathers.
Wi, w'a bay chak moun sa yo merite, konsa pèp ou a va gen krentif pou ou, y'a mache nan chemen ou mete devan yo, pandan tout tan y'ap viv sou tè ou te bay zansèt nou yo.
32 And as to the stranger also, who is not of thy people Israel, but cometh out of a far country for thy great name's sake, and thy mighty hand and thy stretched-out arm; when they shall come and pray toward this house,
Menm lè yon moun lòt nasyon ki pa fè pati pèp ou a soti byen lwen vini poutèt ou, paske li tande jan n'ap nonmen non ou, li tande pale tout bèl bagay w'ap fè avèk fòs kouraj ou, si li vin lapriyè nan tanp sa a,
33 then hear thou from the heavens, the settled place of thy dwelling, and do according to all that the stranger calleth to thee for; in order that all peoples of the earth may know thy name, and may fear thee as do thy people Israel, and may know that this house which I have built is called by thy name.
tanpri, nan syèl kote ou rete a, koute lapriyè li. W'a fè pou li tou sa li mande ou. Konsa, tout pèp sou latè va konnen ou. Y'a gen krentif pou ou tankou pèp Izrayèl ou a gen krentif pou ou. Y'a konnen tanp mwen bati pou ou a, se la pou yo vin adore ou.
34 If thy people go out to battle against their enemies by the way that thou shalt send them, and they pray unto thee toward this city that thou hast chosen, and the house that I have built unto thy name;
Lè pèp ou a va soti al goumen kont lènmi l' yo, nenpòt ki bò w'a voye yo, lè y'a vire tèt yo nan direksyon lavil ou chwazi a ak nan direksyon Tanp mwen bati pou ou a pou yo lapriyè nan pye ou,
35 then hear thou from the heavens their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their right.
tanpri, nan syèl kote ou rete a, koute lapriyè yo. Koute lapriyè y'ap fè nan pye ou, defann kòz yo.
36 If they have sinned against thee (for there is no man that sinneth not), and thou be angry with them, and give them up to the enemy, and they have carried them away captives unto a land far off or near;
Lè pèp ou a va peche kont ou, paske pa gen moun ki pa fè peche, lè w'a move sou yo, lè w'a lage yo nan men lènmi yo ki va fè yo prizonye, ki va depòte yo nan lòt peyi, li te mèt toupre, li te mèt byen lwen,
37 and if they shall take it to heart in the land whither they were carried captive, and repent, and make supplication unto thee in the land of their captivity, saying, We have sinned, we have done iniquity and have dealt perversely;
antan yo la nan peyi kote lènmi yo te depòte yo a, si yo règrèt sa yo te fè, si yo lapriyè nan pye ou, si yo rekonèt yo te fè sa ki mal, si yo rekonèt yo te peche, si yo rekonèt yo antò,
38 and if they return unto thee with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their captivity, whither they have carried them captives, and pray toward their land which thou gavest unto their fathers, and the city that thou hast chosen, and the house that I have built unto thy name;
si yo tounen vin jwenn ou ak tout kè yo ak tout nanm yo, antan yo nan peyi kote lènmi te depòte yo a, si yo vire tèt yo nan direksyon peyi ou te bay zansèt yo a, nan direksyon lavil ou te chwazi a, nan direksyon Tanp mwen bati pou ou a, pou yo lapriyè ou,
39 then hear thou from the heavens, from the settled place of thy dwelling, their prayer and their supplications, and maintain their right, and forgive thy people their sin against thee.
tanpri, koute lapriyè y'ap fè nan pye ou, kote ou ye nan syèl kote ou rete a. Koute lapriyè yo, defann kòz yo. Padonnen pèp ou a tout peche yo te fè kont ou yo.
40 Now, my God, I beseech thee, let thine eyes be open and let thine ears be attentive unto the prayer [that is made] in this place.
Koulye a, Bondye mwen, louvri je ou, koute lapriyè n'ap fè nan pye ou isit la.
41 And now, arise, Jehovah Elohim, into thy resting-place, thou and the ark of thy strength: let thy priests, Jehovah Elohim, be clothed with salvation, and let thy saints rejoice in [thy] goodness.
Koulye a, leve non, Seyè, Bondye! Vin kote pou ou pran repo a! Vini non ansanm ak Bwat Kontra ou la ki fè wè jan ou gen pouvwa. Se pou prèt yo fè konnen jan ou bay pèp ou a delivrans! Se pou tout pèp ou a rele tèlman yo kontan!
42 Jehovah Elohim, turn not away the face of thine anointed: remember mercies to David thy servant.
Poutèt pwomès ou te fè David, sèvitè ou la, tanpri, Seyè, pa vire do bay moun ou te chwazi a!
