1 Chronicles 16
1 Then they took in the ark of God and put it inside the tent which David had put up for it; and they made offerings, burned offerings and peace-offerings before God.
Yo pote Bwat Kontra Seyè a, yo mete l' nan plas li nan tant David te moute pou li a. Apre sa, yo ofri bèt pou boule nèt pou Bondye, ak ofrann pou di Bondye mèsi.
2 And when David had come to an end of making the burned offerings and peace-offerings, he gave the people a blessing in the name of the Lord.
Lè David fin fè ofrann sa yo, li beni pèp la nan non Seyè a.
3 And he gave to everyone, every man and woman of Israel, a cake of bread, some meat, and a cake of dry grapes.
Li separe manje bay tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo, fanm kou gason. Li bay yo chak yon pen, yon moso vyann woti ak yon pen rezen.
4 And he put some of the Levites before the ark of the Lord as servants, to keep the acts of the Lord in memory, and to give worship and praise to the Lord, the God of Israel:
David chwazi kèk moun Levi pou reskonsab sèvis y'ap fè devan Bwat Kontra a pou Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, pou adore l', pou di l' mèsi, pou fè lwanj li.
5 Asaph the chief, and second to him Zechariah, Uzziel and Shemiramoth and Jehiel and Mattithiah and Eliab and Benaiah and Obed-edom and Jeiel, with corded instruments of music; and Asaph, with brass instruments sounding loudly;
Li mete Asaf chèf ak Zakari pou vin apre li. Sou zòd yo te gen Aziyèl, Chemiramòt, Jekiyèl, Matitya, Eliyab, Benaja, Obèd-Edon, Jeyèl pou jwe enstriman mizik yo, gita ak bandjo. Asaf menm t'ap bat senbal ki fè gwo bri yo.
6 And Benaiah and Jahaziel the priests, blowing horns all the time before the ark of the agreement of God.
Se Benaja ak Jaziyèl, prèt yo, ki te pou kònen twonpèt devan Bwat Kontra Bondye a tout tan.
7 Then on that day David first made the giving of praise to the Lord the work of Asaph and his brothers.
Se lè sa a, pou premye fwa, David te bay Asaf ak lòt moun Levi yo reskonsablite pou yo fè lwanj Seyè a.
8 O give praise to the Lord; give honour to his name, talking of his doings among the peoples.
Lwanj pou Seyè a! Fè konnen jan li gen pouvwa! Fè nasyon yo konnen sa li fè!
9 Let your voice be sounded in songs and melody; let all your thoughts be of the wonder of his works.
Chante pou li! Fè lwanj li! Rakonte tout bèl bagay li te fè yo.
10 Have glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those who are searching after the Lord be glad.
Fè kè nou kontan, paske nou se moun pa l'. Wi, se pou tout moun k'ap sèvi Seyè a fè fèt.
11 Let your search be for the Lord and for his strength; let your hearts ever be turned to him.
Ale jwenn Seyè a pou l' ka ede nou. Toujou chache rete devan li.
12 Keep in mind the great works which he has done; his wonders, and the decisions of his mouth;
Chonje mirak ak bèl bagay li te fè yo. Chonje jijman ki te soti nan bouch li,
13 O you seed of Israel his servant, you children of Jacob, his loved ones.
Nou menm, pitit pitit Izrayèl, sèvitè Bondye a, Nou menm, pitit pitit Jakòb yo, nou menm Bondye chwazi yo.
14 He is the Lord our God: he is judge of all the earth.
Seyè a, se Bondye nou li ye. Lè li pase yon lòd, se pou tout latè.
15 He has kept his agreement in mind for ever, the word which he gave for a thousand generations;
Toujou chonje kontra li a. L'ap kenbe pwomès li pou tout tan tout tan.
16 The agreement which he made with Abraham, and his oath to Isaac;
Se kontra li te fè ak Abraram lan, sèman li te fè bay Izarak la.
17 And he gave it to Jacob for a law, and to Israel for an eternal agreement;
Sa li te pwomèt Abraram lan, li fè l' tounen yon lwa pou pitit Jakòb yo, yon kontra ak pèp Izrayèl la pou tout tan.
18 Saying, To you will I give the land of Canaan, the measured line of your heritage:
Li te di: M'ap ba ou peyi Kanaran an pou pòsyon pa ou nan byen m' yo.
19 When you were still small in number, and strange in the land;
Lè sa a, pèp Bondye a pa t' anpil. Yo te sèlman yon ti ponyen moun. Yo te tankou etranje toujou nan peyi a.
20 When they went about from one nation to another, and from one kingdom to another people;
Yo t'ap mache ale vini nan tout nasyon yo. Yo t'ap soti nan yon peyi ale nan yon lòt.
21 He would not let anyone do them wrong; he even kept back kings because of them,
Men, li pa t' kite pesonn maltrete yo. Li te menm rive pini anpil wa poutèt yo.
22 Saying, Put not your hand on those who have been marked with my holy oil, and do my prophets no wrong.
Li te di: Piga nou manyen moun mwen chwazi yo. Piga nou fè pwofèt mwen yo anyen.
23 Make songs to the Lord, all the earth; give the good news of his salvation day by day.
Nou tout ki rete sou latè, chante pou Seyè a! Chak jou, fè konnen jan li delivre nou.
24 Make clear his glory to the nations, and his wonders to all the peoples.
Fè nasyon yo konnen pouvwa li. Fè tout pèp yo konnen bèl bagay li fè yo.
25 For the Lord is great, and greatly to be praised; and he is more to be feared than all other gods.
Seyè a gen gwo pouvwa. Li merite pou yo fè lwanj li vre. Se pou tout moun pè l' pi plis pase lòt bondye yo.
26 For all the gods of the nations are false gods; but the Lord made the heavens.
Bondye lòt nasyon yo pa anyen, se pòtre yo ye. Men, se Seyè a ki fè syèl la.
27 Honour and glory are before him: strength and joy are in his holy place.
Devan li, se respè, se chapo ba. Gen pouvwa, gen kè kontan kote l' ye lakay li a.
28 Give to the Lord, O you families of the peoples, give to the Lord glory and strength.
Nou tout pèp ki sou latè, fè lwanj Seyè a! Fè lwanj Seyè a pou pouvwa ak fòs li genyen!
29 Give to the Lord the glory of his name; take with you an offering and come before him; give worship to the Lord in holy robes.
Fè lwanj Seyè a, paske li merite sa! Pote ofrann ba li anndan lakay li! Adore Bondye nan bèl kay ki apa pou li a!
30 Be in fear before him, all the earth: the world is ordered so that it may not be moved.
Nou tout ki sou latè, tranble devan li. Latè kanpe fèm, anyen pa ka brannen l'.
31 Let the heavens have joy and let the earth be glad; let them say among the nations, The Lord is King.
Se pou syèl la kontan, se pou latè a fè fèt. Mache di nan tout peyi yo: Se Seyè a ki sèl wa.
32 Let the sea be thundering with all its waters; let the field be glad, and everything which is in it;
Se pou lanmè a ansanm ak tou sa ki ladan l' pran fè bri sitèlman yo kontan. Se pou jaden yo ak tou sa ki ladan yo fè fèt.
33 Then let all the trees of the wood be sounding with joy before the Lord, for he is come to be the judge of the earth.
Lè Seyè a parèt se pou tout pyebwa nan gwo rak yo rele sitèlman yo kontan. Paske l'ap vini pou l' jije tout moun ki sou latè.
34 O give praise to the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy is unchanging for ever.
Lwanj pou Seyè a paske li bon. Li p'ap janm sispann renmen nou.
35 And say, Be our saviour, O God of our salvation, and let us come back, and give us salvation from the nations, so that we may give honour to your holy name and have glory in your praise.
Se pou nou di: Delivre nou non, Bondye delivrans nou! Fè nou soti nan tout peyi kote nou gaye yo. Sanble nou, pou nou ka di ou mèsi pou tout bagay ou menm sèl ka fè, pou nou ka kontan lè n'ap fè lwanj ou.
36 Praise be to the Lord, the God of Israel, for ever and for ever. And all the people said, So be it; and gave praise to the Lord.
Ann fè lwanj Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la! Ann fè lwanj li depi tout tan ak pou tout tan. Epi tout pèp la pran reponn: -Wi, se vre! Lwanj pou Seyè a!
37 So he made Asaph and his brothers keep their places there before the ark of the agreement of the Lord, to do whatever had to be done before the ark at all times day by day:
Lèfini, David kite Asaf ak moun Levi menm fanmi avè l' yo devan Bwat Kontra Seyè a pou yo toujou reskonsab tout sèvis ki pou fèt kote yo te mete Bwat Kontra a. Yo te gen pou fè sèvis yo la chak jou san rete.
38 And Obed-edom, the son of Jeduthun, and Hosah, with their brothers, sixty-eight of them, to be door-keepers:
Obèd-Edon ak swasantwit lòt moun nan fanmi li t'ap ede yo nan travay yo. Osa ak Obèd-Edon, pitit gason Jeditoun lan, te reskonsab pòtay yo.
39 And Zadok the priest, with his brothers the priests, before the House of the Lord in the high place at Gibeon;
Men David kite Zadòk, prèt la, ak moun Levi menm fanmi avè l' yo ki te prèt tou devan Tant Seyè a, nan kote yo te mete apa pou Seyè a lavil Gabawon.
40 To give burned offerings to the Lord on the altar of burned offerings morning and evening, every day, as it is ordered in the law of the Lord which he gave to Israel;
Chak maten, chak aswè, se yo ki pou boule bèt yo ofri bay Seyè a nèt sou lotèl ki fèt pou sa a, dapre sa ki ekri nan lalwa Seyè a te bay pèp Izrayèl la.
41 And with them Heman and Jeduthun, and the rest who were marked out by name to give praise to the Lord, for his mercy is unchanging for ever;
Te gen avèk yo tou Eyman, Jedoutoun ansanm ak lòt moun yo te chwazi tout espre pou chante: Lwanj pou Seyè a paske li p'ap janm sispann renmen nou.
42 And Heman and Jeduthun had horns and brass instruments sounding loudly, and instruments of music for the songs of God; and the sons of Jeduthun were to be at the door.
Eyman ak Jedoutoun te gen twonpèt, senbal ki fè gwo bri yo ak lòt enstriman mizik pou yo jwe antan yo t'ap chante fè lwanj pou Bondye. Manm fanmi Jedoutoun yo te reskonsab veye pòtay yo.
43 And all the people went away, every man to his house; and David went back to give a blessing to his family.
Apre sa, tout pèp la tounen lakay yo. David tounen lakay li tou pou l' beni fanmi pa l' tou.
