2 Chronicles 6
1 Then Solomon said, “Yahweh has said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.
Epi Salomon te di: “SENYÈ a te di ke Li ta abite nan nwaj fonse a.
2 But I have built you a house and home, a place for you to dwell in forever.”
Mwen te bati yon kay byen wo ak yon plas pou abitasyon pa W Jis pou tout tan.”
3 The king turned his face, and blessed all the assembly of Israel; and all the assembly of Israel stood.
Konsa, wa a te vire fas li pou te beni tout asanble Israël la pandan tout asanble a te kanpe.
4 He said, “Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth to David my father, and has with his hands fulfilled it, saying,
Li te di: “Beni se SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la, ki te pale avèk bouch Li a papa m, David, e ki te acheve sa avèk men Li, lè li te di:
5 ‘Since the day that I brought 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, and I chose no man to be prince over my people Israel;
‘Depi jou ke M te mennen pèp Mwen an sòti nan peyi Égypte la, Mwen pa t chwazi yon vil nan tout tribi Israël yo pou bati yon kay pou non Mwen ta kapab la, ni Mwen pa t chwazi yon moun kòm chèf sou pèp Mwen an, Israël;
6 but now I have chosen Jerusalem, that my name might be there; and I have chosen David to be over my people Israel.’
men Mwen te chwazi Jérusalem pou non Mwen ta kapab la, e Mwen te chwazi David pou li kapab sou pèp Mwen an, Israël.’
7 Now it was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel.
Alò, li te nan kè a papa m, David, pou bati yon kay pou non SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la.
8 But Yahweh said to David my father, ‘Whereas it was in your heart to build a house for my name, you did well that it was in your heart;
Men SENYÈ a te di a papa m, David: ‘Akoz li te nan kè ou pou bati kay pou non Mwen an, ou te fè byen lè sa te nan kè ou a.
9 nevertheless you shall not build the house, but your son who will come out of your body, he shall build the house for my name.’
Sepandan, ou p ap bati kay la, men fis ou ki va fèt a ou menm, li va bati kay la pou non Mwen.’”
10 “Yahweh has performed his word that he spoke; for I have risen up in the place of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as Yahweh promised, and have built the house for the name of Yahweh, the God of Israel.
“Koulye a, SENYÈ a gen tan fin akonpli pawòl ke Li te pale a. Paske mwen te monte nan plas a papa m David, pou chita sou twòn Israël la, jan SENYÈ a te pale a, e te bati kay la pou non SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la.
11 There I have set the ark, in which is Yahweh’s covenant, which he made with the children of Israel.”
La, mwen te mete lach ki gen akò SENYÈ a ladann nan, akò ke Li te fè avèk fis Israël yo.”
12 He stood before Yahweh’s altar in the presence of all the assembly of Israel, and spread out his hands
Konsa, li te kanpe devan lotèl SENYÈ a nan prezans a tout asanble Israël la, e li te lonje men li.
13 (for Solomon had made a bronze platform, five cubits long, five cubits wide, and three cubits high, and had set it in the middle of the court; and he stood on it, and knelt down on his knees before all the assembly of Israel, and spread out his hands toward heaven).
Alò, Salomon te fè yon etaj an bwonz, senk koude nan longè, senk koude nan lajè ak twa koude nan wotè e li te plase li nan mitan gran lakou a. Epi li te kanpe sou li, li te mete li ajenou nan prezans a tout asanble Israël la, e li te lonje men li vè syèl la.
14 Then he said, “Yahweh, the God of Israel, there is no God like you in heaven or on earth—you who keep covenant and loving kindness with your servants who walk before you with all their heart;
Li te di: “O SENYÈ, Bondye Israël la, nanpwen dye tankou Ou nan syèl la ni sou tè a, k ap kenbe akò avèk lanmou dous avèk sèvitè Ou yo ki mache devan Ou avèk tout kè yo;
15 who have kept with your servant David my father that which you promised him. Yes, you spoke with your mouth, and have fulfilled it with your hand, as it is today.
ki te kenbe pawòl avèk sèvitè Ou, David, papa m, nan sa ke Ou te pwomèt li a. Anverite, Ou te pale avèk bouch Ou, e Ou te akonpli li avèk men Ou, jan sa ye jodi a.
16 “Now therefore, Yahweh, the God of Israel, keep with your servant David my father that which you have promised him, saying, ‘There shall not fail you a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel, if only your children take heed to their way, to walk in my law as you have walked before me.’
“Pou sa, O SENYÈ, Bondye Israël la, kenbe avèk sèvitè Ou a, David, sa ke ou te pwomèt li a. Ou te di: ‘Ou p ap manke yon nonm ki pou chita sou twòn Israël la, si sèlman fis ou yo fè atansyon nan chemen yo, pou mache nan lalwa pa Mwen, jan ou te mache devan M nan.’
17 Now therefore, Yahweh, the God of Israel, let your word be verified, which you spoke to your servant David.
Alò, pou sa, O SENYÈ, Bondye Israël la, kite pawòl Ou konfime nan sa Ou te pale a sèvitè Ou a, David.
18 “But will God indeed dwell with men on the earth? Behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens can’t contain you; how much less this house which I have built!
“Men èske Bondye va vrèman rete avèk lòm sou tè a? Gade byen, syèl la avèk pi wo syèl la pa kab kenbe Ou; bokou mwens, pou kay sa a ke m te konstwi a.
19 Yet have respect for the prayer of your servant and to his supplication, Yahweh my God, to listen to the cry and to the prayer which your servant prays before you;
Malgre sa, prete atansyon a lapriyè a sèvitè Ou a, avèk sa li mande a, O SENYÈ Bondye mwen an, pou koute lè m kriye ak lapriyè ke sèvitè Ou a fè devan Ou;
20 that your eyes may be open toward this house day and night, even toward the place where you have said that you would put your name, to listen to the prayer which your servant will pray toward this place.
pou zye Ou kapab ouvri vè kay sa a lajounen kon lannwit, vè plas sou sila Ou te di ke Ou ta mete non Ou la, pou koute lapriyè ke sèvitè Ou a va fè vè plas sa a.
21 Listen to the petitions of your servant and of your people Israel, when they pray toward this place. Yes, hear from your dwelling place, even from heaven; and when you hear, forgive.
Koute a siplikasyon a sèvitè Ou yo ak pèp Ou a, Israël, lè yo priye vè plas sa a; koute depi nan abitasyon Ou an, nan syèl la; e lè Ou koute, padone.
22 “If a man sins against his neighbor, and an oath is laid on him to cause him to swear, and he comes and swears before your altar in this house,
“Si yon nonm peche kont vwazen li, pou li oblije sèmante e li vin fè yon sèman devan lotèl Ou nan kay sila a,
23 then hear from heaven, act, and judge your servants, bringing retribution to the wicked, to bring his way on his own head; and justifying the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness.
alò, tande soti nan syèl la e aji pou jije sèvitè Ou yo, avèk pinisyon pou mechan an k ap fè chemen pa li vin tonbe sou pwòp tèt li, epi pou rann jistis a sila ki dwat yo e ba li selon ladwati li.
24 “If your people Israel are struck down before the enemy because they have sinned against you, and they turn again and confess your name, and pray and make supplication before you in this house,
“Si pèp Ou a ta vin bat devan yon lènmi akoz peche ke yo konn fè kont Ou, e yo retounen kote Ou pou konfese non Ou; si yo priye devan Ou e fè siplikasyon devan Ou nan kay sa a,
25 then hear from heaven, and forgive the sin of your people Israel, and bring them again to the land which you gave to them and to their fathers.
alò, koute soti nan syèl la, e padone peche a pèp Ou a, Israël. Mennen yo retounen nan peyi ke Ou te bay a yo menm avèk zansèt pa yo.
26 “When the sky is shut up and there is no rain because they have sinned against you, if they pray toward this place and confess your name, and turn from their sin when you afflict them,
“Lè syèl yo vin fèmen e nanpwen lapli akoz peche ke yo fè kont Ou, si yo fè lapriyè vè plas sa a e konfese non Ou, pou yo vire kite peche pa yo lè Ou aflije yo;
27 then hear in heaven, and forgive the sin of your servants, your people Israel, when you teach them the good way in which they should walk, and send rain on your land, which you have given to your people for an inheritance.
alò, tande nan syèl la e padone peche a sèvitè Ou yo ak pèp Ou a, Israël. Anverite, enstwi yo selon bon chemen nan sila yo ta dwe mache a, epi voye lapli sou tè ke Ou te bay a pèp Ou a kòm eritaj la.
28 “If there is famine in the land, if there is pestilence, if there is blight or mildew, locust or caterpillar; if their enemies besiege them in the land of their cities; whatever plague or whatever sickness there is—
“Si gen gwo grangou nan peyi a, si se gwo maladi, si gen gwo dega jaden ak bèt, oswa kanni, si gen krikèt oswa bèt volan, si lènmi yo fè syèj a yo menm nan teren vil yo, nenpòt toumant, nenpòt maladi,
29 whatever prayer and supplication is made by any man, or by all your people Israel, who will each know his own plague and his own sorrow, and shall spread out his hands toward this house,
nenpòt lapriyè oswa siplikasyon ki fèt pa nenpòt moun, oswa pa tout pèp Ou a, Israël, chak moun ki konnen pwòp soufrans li ak pwòp doulè li e ki vin ouvri men li vè kay sila a,
30 then hear from heaven your dwelling place and forgive, and render to every man according to all his ways, whose heart you know (for you, even you only, know the hearts of the children of men),
nan lè sa a, koute depi nan syèl la, abitasyon pa Ou a, epi padone e bay a chak moun selon pwòp chemen li, kè a sila Ou konnen yo (paske Ou menm sèl konnen kè a fis a lòm yo),
31 that they may fear you, to walk in your ways as long as they live in the land which you gave to our fathers.
pou yo ta kapab gen lakrent Ou, pou mache nan chemen Ou yo pou tout tan ke yo rete nan peyi ke Ou te bay a zansèt nou yo.
32 “Moreover, concerning the foreigner, who is not of your people Israel, when he comes from a far country for your great name’s sake and your mighty hand and your outstretched arm, when they come and pray toward this house,
“Anplis, selon etranje ki pa sòti nan pèp Ou a, Israël, lè li sòti nan yon peyi lwen, akoz gran non pa Ou, avèk men pwisan Ou ak bwa Ou ki lonje byen ouvri a, lè yo vini fè lapriyè vè kay sila a,
33 then hear from heaven, even from your dwelling place, and do according to all that the foreigner calls to you for; that all the peoples of the earth may know your name and fear you, as do your people Israel, and that they may know that this house which I have built is called by your name.
alò, koute depi nan syèl la, depi abitasyon Ou a, e fè selon tout sa ke etranje sila a vin mande Ou, jis pou tout pèp sou latè yo kapab konnen non Ou e gen lakrent ou, jan pèp Israël Ou a konn fè a, pou yo kapab rekonèt ke kay sila ke m te bati a rele pa non Ou.
34 “If your people go out to battle against their enemies, by whatever way you send them, and they pray to you toward this city which you have chosen, and the house which I have built for your name;
“Lè pèp Ou a sòti pou batay kont lènmi yo, pa nenpòt chemen ke Ou ta voye yo, e yo priye a Ou menm vè vil sila ke Ou te chwazi ak kay ke m te bati pou non Ou a,
35 then hear from heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.
nan lè sa a, koute lapriyè yo soti nan syèl la avèk siplikasyon yo, e bay soutyen a koz pa yo.
36 “If they sin against you (for there is no man who doesn’t sin), and you are angry with them and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captive to a land far off or near;
“Lè yo fè peche kont Ou (paske nanpwen lòm ki pa peche), epi Ou fache avèk yo jis Ou livre yo a yon lènmi, e yo pran yo mete an kaptivite nan yon peyi lwen, oswa pre;
37 yet if they come to their senses in the land where they are carried captive, and turn again, and make supplication to you in the land of their captivity, saying, ‘We have sinned, we have done perversely, and have dealt wickedly;’
si yo vin reflechi nan peyi kote yo te mennen an kaptivite a, repanti, e fè siplikasyon a Ou menm nan peyi kaptivite yo a, e di: ‘Nou te peche, nou fè inikite e te aji avèk mechanste;’
38 if they return to you with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their captivity, where they have been taken captive, and pray toward their land which you gave to their fathers, and the city which you have chosen, and toward the house which I have built for your name;
si yo retounen a Ou menm avèk tout kè yo, avèk tout nanm yo soti nan peyi kaptivite yo a, kote yo te mennen yo an kaptivite a, e priye vè peyi yo a ke Ou te bay a zansèt yo, ak vil ke Ou te chwazi a, e vè kay ke m te bati pou non Ou a,
39 then hear from heaven, even from your dwelling place, their prayer and their petitions, and maintain their cause, and forgive your people who have sinned against you.
alò, tande, depi nan syèl la, depi nan abitasyon pa Ou a, lapriyè pa yo, avèk siplikasyon pa yo, e bay soutyen a koz pa yo, epi padone pèp Ou a ki te peche kont Ou.
40 “Now, my God, let, I beg you, your eyes be open, and let your ears be attentive to the prayer that is made in this place.
“Koulye a, O Bondye mwen, mwen priye, kite zye Ou louvri e zòrèy ou vin atantif a lapriyè sa a, ki fèt nan plas sa a.
41 “Now therefore arise, Yahweh God, into your resting place, you, and the ark of your strength. Let your priests, Yahweh God, be clothed with salvation, and let your saints rejoice in goodness.
“Alò, pou sa, leve, O SENYÈ Bondye, a plas repo pa Ou a, Ou menm avèk lach pwisan pa Ou a. Kite prèt Ou yo, SENYÈ Bondye, abiye avèk sali, e kite fidèl Ou yo rejwi nan tout sa ki bon.
42 “Yahweh God, don’t turn away the face of your anointed. Remember your loving kindnesses to David your servant.”
“O SENYÈ Bondye, pa vire kite fas a onksyone pa Ou a. Sonje lanmou dous Ou vè sèvitè Ou a, David.”
