2 Istwa 7

1 Lè wa Salomon fin fè lapriyè sa a, dife desann soti nan syèl la, li boule bèt yo te ofri sou lotèl la ak lòt pòsyon vyann yo te ofri.

Now when Solomon's prayers were ended, fire came down from heaven, burning up all the offerings; and the house was full of the glory of the Lord.

2 Anmenmtan an, limyè prezans Seyè a te plen Tanp lan.

And the priests were not able to go into the house of the Lord, for the Lord's house was full of the glory of the Lord.

3 Lè tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo wè dife desann soti nan syèl la ak bèl limyè prezans Seyè a ki te klere tout anndan Tanp lan, yo mete ajenou, yo bese tèt yo jouk fwon yo rive sou dal pave a, yo adore Bondye, yo t'ap fè lwanj Seyè a, yo di l' mèsi paske li bon, paske li p'ap janm sispann renmen yo.

And all the children of Israel were looking on when the fire came down, and the glory of the Lord was on the house; and they went down on their knees, with their faces to the earth, worshipping and praising the Lord, and saying, He is good; for his mercy is unchanging for ever.

4 Apre sa, wa Salomon ansanm ak tout pèp Izrayèl ki te la a ofri bèt pou yo touye pou Seyè a.

Then the king and all the people made offerings before the Lord.

5 Wa Salomon te ofri venndemil (22.000) towo ak sanvenmil (120.000) mouton pou mande Bondye padon. Se konsa wa a ansanm ak tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo te mete Tanp lan apa pou Seyè a.

King Solomon made an offering of twenty-two thousand oxen, and a hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the people kept the feast of the opening of the house of God.

6 Prèt yo te rete nan plas yo te ba yo nan Tanp lan. Devan yo se te moun Levi yo ki t'ap fè lwanj Seyè a ak enstriman mizik wa David te fè fè pou jwe pandan y'ap chante chante ki di: Paske li p'ap janm sispann renmen nou. Prèt yo t'ap kònen twonpèt, tout pèp Izrayèl la menm te rete kanpe.

And the priests were in their places, and the Levites with their instruments of music for the Lord's song, which David the king had made for the praise of the Lord whose mercy is unchanging for ever, when David gave praise by their hand; and the priests were sounding horns before them; and all Israel were on their feet.

7 Menm jou sa a, Salomon mete mitan gwo lakou ki devan Tanp Seyè a apa pou Bondye. Lèfini, se la li ofri bèt pou boule nèt pou Seyè a, ak grès bèt yo te touye pou mande Bondye padon, paske lotèl kwiv Salomon te fè fè a te twò piti pou pran tout ofrann bèt yo te touye pou boule nèt pou Seyè a, grenn jaden yo ak grès bèt yo te touye pou mande Bondye padon.

Then Solomon made holy the middle of the open square in front of the house of the Lord, offering the burned offerings there, and the fat of the peace-offerings; for there was not room on the brass altar which Solomon had made for all the burned offerings and the meal offerings and the fat.

8 Lè sa a, Salomon ansanm ak tout pèp Izrayèl la fete fèt Joupa yo pandan sèt jou. Foul moun te soti depi Pas Amat la nan nò jouk sou fwontyè ak peyi Lejip la nan sid, yo vin fete la.

So Solomon kept the feast at that time for seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great meeting, for the people had come together from the way into Hamath and from as far as the river of Egypt.

9 Yo pase sèt jou ap fè sèvis pou mete lotèl la apa pou sèvis Bondye, lèfini yo pase sèt jou ankò ap fè fèt. Sou wityèm jou fèt la, yo fè yon gwo sèvis pou fèmen seremoni an.

And on the eighth day they had a holy meeting; the offerings for making the altar holy went on for seven days, and the feast for seven days.

10 Nan denmen, ki vle di nan venntwazyèm jou setyèm mwa a, Salomon voye tout moun tounen lakay yo. Yo tout t'ap fè fèt, yo al lakay yo ak kè kontan, paske sa te fè yo plezi pou wè tou sa Seyè a te fè pou David, pou Salomon ak pou pèp Izrayèl li a.

And on the twenty-third day of the seventh month, he sent the people away to their tents, full of joy and glad in their hearts, because of all the good which the Lord had done to David and to Solomon and to Israel his people.

11 Lè wa Salomon fin bati Tanp Seyè a ansanm ak palè wa a, lè li fin fè tou sa li te gen lide fè nan yo,

So Solomon came to the end of building the house of the Lord and the king's house; and everything which it was in his mind to make in the house of the Lord and for himself had been well done.

12 Seyè a fè Salomon wè l' ankò yon jou lannwit. Li di l' konsa: -Mwen tande lapriyè ou fè nan pye m'. M' chwazi kay sa a pou sèvi kote pou yo vin touye bèt pou mwen.

Now the Lord came to Solomon in a vision by night, and said to him, I have given ear to your prayer, and have taken this place for myself as a house where offerings are to be made.

13 Si mwen ta rive fèmen syèl la pou lapli pa tonbe, si mwen ta voye krikèt pou devore peyi a, si mwen ta voye move maladi sou pèp la,

If, at my word, heaven is shut up, so that there is no rain, or if I send locusts on the land for its destruction, or if I send disease on my people;

14 lè sa a si pèp ki pote non m' lan lapriyè nan pye m', si yo soumèt devan mwen, si yo pran chache m' ankò, si yo vire do bay vye peche yo t'ap fè yo, m'ap tande yo nan syèl kote m' ye a, m'ap padonnen peche yo, m'ap fè peyi a kanpe ankò.

If my people, on whom my name is named, make themselves low and come to me in prayer, searching for me and turning from their evil ways; then I will give ear from heaven, overlooking their sin, and will give life again to their land.

15 Depi jòdi a, je m' louvri, zòrèy mwen pare pou m' tande tout lapriyè y'ap fè isit la.

Now my eyes will be open and my ears awake to the prayers made in this place.

16 Depi jòdi a, mwen chwazi kay sa a, mwen mete l' apa pou mwen. Se la pou yo fè sèvis pou mwen. M'ap veye l', m'ap pwoteje l' chak jou.

For I have taken this house for myself and made it holy, so that my name may be there for ever; and my eyes and my heart will be there at all times.

17 Ou menm pou tèt pa ou, si ou mache devan m' tankou David, papa ou, si ou fè tou sa mwen mande ou fè, si ou koute lòd ak bon prensip mwen yo,

And as for you, if you will go on your way before me as David your father did, doing whatever I have given you orders to do and keeping my laws and my decisions:

18 m'a kenbe gouvènman ou lan chita jan mwen te pwomèt David, papa ou la, lè m' te di l' ap toujou gen yon moun nan fanmi li ki pou gouvènen pèp Izrayèl la.

Then I will make strong the seat of your kingdom, as I gave my word to David your father, saying, You will never be without a man to be ruler in Israel.

19 Men, si ou menm osinon yonn nan pitit ou yo vire do ban mwen, si nou pa fè sa m' mande nou fè, si nou pa koute lòd mwen ban nou, si n al sèvi lòt bondye, si n' al adore lòt bondye,

But if you are turned away from me, and do not keep my orders and my laws which I have put before you, but go and make yourselves servants to other gods, giving them worship:

20 lè sa a, m'ap wete pèp Izrayèl la nan peyi mwen ba yo a. M'ap vire do bay tanp mwen te mete apa tankou kote pou yo fè sèvis pou mwen an. Moun toupatou va pase l' nan betiz, y'a fè chante sou li.

Then I will have this people uprooted out of my land which I have given them; and this house, which I have made holy for my name, I will put away from before my eyes, and make it an example and a word of shame among all peoples.

21 Kay sa a ki te sitèlman bèl pral tounen yon pil mazi. Tout moun ki va pase bò la a va sezi, y'a mete men nan bouch, y'a mande poukisa Seyè a fè peyi a ak tanp lan sa.

And this house will become a mass of broken walls, and everyone who goes by will be overcome with wonder, and will say, Why has the Lord done so to this land and to this house?

22 Y'a reponn: Se paske yo te vire do bay Seyè a, Bondye zansèt yo a, ki te fè yo soti kite peyi Lejip. Yo kouri dèyè lòt bondye, yo fè sèvis pou yo, yo adore yo. Se poutèt sa Seyè a te voye gwo malè sa a sou yo.

And their answer will be, Because they were turned away from the Lord, the God of their fathers, who took them out of the land of Egypt, and took for themselves other gods and gave them worship and became their servants: that is why he has sent all this evil on them.
