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 had finished praying, fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offering and the sacrifices; and the LORD’s glory filled the house.
2 Anmenmtan an, limyè prezans Seyè a te plen Tanp lan.
The priests could not enter into the LORD’s house, because the LORD’s glory filled the LORD’s house.
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.
All the children of Israel looked on, when the fire came down, and the LORD’s glory was on the house. They bowed themselves with their faces to the ground on the pavement, worshipped, and gave thanks to the LORD, saying, “For he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever!”
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 offered sacrifices 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 offered a sacrifice of twenty-two thousand head of cattle and a hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the people dedicated God’s house.
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.
The priests stood, according to their positions; the Levites also with instruments of music of the LORD, which David the king had made to give thanks to the LORD, when David praised by their ministry, saying “For his loving kindness endures forever.” The priests sounded trumpets before them; and all Israel stood.
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.
Moreover Solomon made the middle of the court that was before the LORD’s house holy; for there he offered the burnt offerings and the fat of the peace offerings, because the bronze altar which Solomon had made was not able to receive the burnt offering, the meal offering, 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 held the feast at that time for seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great assembly, from the entrance of Hamath to the brook 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.
On the eighth day, they held a solemn assembly; for they kept the dedication of the altar seven days, and the feast 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.
On the twenty-third day of the seventh month, he sent the people away to their tents, joyful and glad of heart for the goodness that the LORD had shown to David, 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,
Thus Solomon finished the LORD’s house and the king’s house; and he successfully completed all that came into Solomon’s heart to make in the LORD’s house and in his own house.
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.
Then the LORD appeared to Solomon by night, and said to him, “I have heard your prayer, and have chosen this place for myself for a house of sacrifice.
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 I shut up the sky so that there is no rain, or if I command the locust to devour the land, or if I send pestilence amongst 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 who are called by my name will humble themselves, pray, seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin, and will heal 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 attentive to prayer that is 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 now I have chosen and made this house holy, that my name may be there forever; and my eyes and my heart will be there perpetually.
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,
“As for you, if you will walk before me as David your father walked, and do according to all that I have commanded you, and will keep my statutes and my ordinances,
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 establish the throne of your kingdom, according as I covenanted with David your father, saying, ‘There shall not fail you 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 turn away and forsake my statutes and my commandments which I have set before you, and go and serve other gods and worship them,
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 pluck them up by the roots out of my land which I have given them; and this house, which I have made holy for my name, I will cast out of my sight, and I will make it a proverb and a byword amongst 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.
This house, which is so high, everyone who passes by it will be astonished and say, ‘Why has the LORD done this 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.
They shall answer, ‘Because they abandoned the LORD, the God of their fathers, who brought them out of the land of Egypt, and took other gods, worshipped them, and served them. Therefore he has brought all this evil on them.’”
