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,
It happened, when the king lived in his house, and YHWH had given him rest from all his enemies all around,
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.”
that the king said to Nathan the prophet, "See now, I dwell in a house of cedar, but the ark of God dwells within curtains."
3 Nathan te di a wa a: “Ale, fè tout sa ki nan tèt ou, paske SENYÈ a avèk ou.”
Nathan said to the king, "Go, do all that is in your heart; for YHWH is with you."
4 Men nan menm nwit lan, pawòl SENYÈ a te vini a Nathan e te di:
It happened the same night, that the word of YHWH came to 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?
"Go and tell my servant David, 'Thus says YHWH, "Shall you build me a house for me to dwell in?
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 have not lived in a house since the day that I brought up the children of Israel out of Egypt, even to this day, but have moved around in a tent and in a 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 all places in which I have walked throughout Israel, did I say a word to any of the judges of Israel, whom I commanded to be shepherd of my people Israel, saying, 'Why have you not built me a house of cedar?'"'
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.
Now therefore you shall tell my servant David this, 'Thus says YHWH of hosts, "I took you from the sheep pen, from following the sheep, that you should be prince over my people 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.
I have been with you wherever you went, and have cut off all your enemies from before you. I will make you a great name, like the name of the great ones who 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,
I will appoint a place for my people Israel, and will plant them, that they may dwell in their own place, and be moved no more; neither shall the children of wickedness afflict them any more, as at the first,
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 from the time that I commanded judges to be over my people Israel. I will cause you to rest from all your enemies. Moreover YHWH tells you that he will build you a 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 it will come about when your days are fulfilled, and you sleep with your fathers, that I will raise up your descendant after you, who will come from your body, and I will establish his kingdom.
13 Li va bati yon kay pou non Mwen e Mwen va etabli twòn wayòm li a jis pou tout tan.
He will build a house for my name, and I will establish his throne forever.
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 he shall be my son. If he commits iniquity, I will chasten him with a human rod, and with the stripes from human beings;
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 loving kindness I will not take from him, as I took it from Saul, whom I put away before you.
16 Lakay ou ak wayòm ou va dire devan Mwen pou tout tan. Twòn ou an va etabli pou tout tan.”’”
And your house and your kingdom shall be made sure forever before me, and your throne shall be established forever."'"
17 An akò avèk tout pawòl sila yo, tout vizyon sila yo, Nathan te pale avèk David.
According to all these words, and according to all this vision, so Nathan spoke to David.
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 David went in and sat before YHWH and said, "Who am I, Lord YHWH, and what is my house, that you have brought me thus far?
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
This was a small thing in your eyes, Lord YHWH, and you have spoken of your servant's house for a great while to come, and you have let me look upon the generation of humankind to come, Lord YHWH.
20 Ankò, ki bagay anplis David kab di Ou? Paske Ou konnen sèvitè Ou a, O Mèt, BONDYE!
And what more can David add to you concerning the honor which is done to your servant? For you know your servant, YHWH.
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 your servant's sake, and according to your own heart, you have worked all this greatness, to make your servant know it.
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.
Therefore you are great, Lord YHWH. For there is none like you, neither is there any God besides you, according to all that we have heard with our ears.
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 who is like your people Israel, the one nation on earth whom God went out to redeem to be a people for himself, and to make a name for yourself, and to do great and awesome deeds by driving out before your people, whom you redeemed for yourself from Egypt, a nation and its 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.
And you established your people Israel for yourself to be your people forever; and you, YHWH, became 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.
Now, Lord YHWH, the word that you have spoken concerning your servant, and concerning his house, confirm it forever, and do as you have spoken.
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.’
Let your name be magnified forever, saying, 'YHWH of hosts is the God of Israel,' and the house of your servant David shall be established before you.
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 you have revealed to your servant, saying, 'I will build you a house.' Therefore your servant has found in his heart to pray this prayer to you.
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.
"Now, O Lord YHWH, you are God, and your words are truth, and you have promised this good thing to your servant.
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.”
Now therefore let it please you to bless the house of your servant, that it may continue forever before you; for you, Lord YHWH, have spoken it. Let the house of your servant be blessed forever with your blessing."
