1 Chronicles 16
1 So they brought the ark of God, and set it in the midst of the tent, which David had pitched for it: and they offered holocausts, 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 made an end of offering holocausts, and peace offerings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord.
Lè David fin fè ofrann sa yo, li beni pèp la nan non Seyè a.
3 And he divided to all and every one, both men and women, a loaf of bread, and a piece of roasted beef, and flour fried with oil.
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 appointed Levites to minister before the ark of the Lord, and to remember his works, and to glorify, and praise the Lord 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 next after him Zacharias: moreover Jahiel, and Semiramoth, and Jehiel, and Mathathias, and Eliab, and Banaias, and Obededom: and Jehiel over the instruments of psaltery, and harps: and Asaph sounded with cymbals:
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 But Banaias, and Jaziel the priests, to sound the trumpet continually before the ark of the covenant of the Lord.
Se Benaja ak Jaziyèl, prèt yo, ki te pou kònen twonpèt devan Bwat Kontra Bondye a tout tan.
7 In that day David made Asaph the chief to give praise to the Lord with his brethren.
Se lè sa a, pou premye fwa, David te bay Asaf ak lòt moun Levi yo reskonsablite pou yo fè lwanj Seyè a.
8 Praise ye the Lord, and call upon his name: make known his doings among the nations.
Lwanj pou Seyè a! Fè konnen jan li gen pouvwa! Fè nasyon yo konnen sa li fè!
9 Sing to him, yea, sing praises to him: and relate all his wondrous works.
Chante pou li! Fè lwanj li! Rakonte tout bèl bagay li te fè yo.
10 Praise ye his holy name: let the heart I of them rejoice, that seek the Lord.
Fè kè nou kontan, paske nou se moun pa l'. Wi, se pou tout moun k'ap sèvi Seyè a fè fèt.
11 Seek ye the Lord, and his power: seek ye his face evermore.
Ale jwenn Seyè a pou l' ka ede nou. Toujou chache rete devan li.
12 Remember his wonderful works, which he hath done: his signs, and the judgments of his mouth.
Chonje mirak ak bèl bagay li te fè yo. Chonje jijman ki te soti nan bouch li,
13 O ye seed of Israel his servants, ye children of Jacob his chosen.
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: his judgments are in all the earth.
Seyè a, se Bondye nou li ye. Lè li pase yon lòd, se pou tout latè.
15 Remember for ever his covenant: the word, which he commanded to a thousand generations.
Toujou chonje kontra li a. L'ap kenbe pwomès li pou tout tan tout tan.
16 The covenant 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 appointed the same to Jacob for a precept: and to Israel for an everlasting covenant:
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 thee will I give the land of Chanaan: the lot of your inheritance.
Li te di: M'ap ba ou peyi Kanaran an pou pòsyon pa ou nan byen m' yo.
19 When they were but a small number: very few and sojourners in it.
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 And they passed from nation to nation: and from a 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 suffered no man to do them wrong: and reproved kings for their sake.
Men, li pa t' kite pesonn maltrete yo. Li te menm rive pini anpil wa poutèt yo.
22 Touch not my anointed: and do no evil to my prophets.
Li te di: Piga nou manyen moun mwen chwazi yo. Piga nou fè pwofèt mwen yo anyen.
23 Sing ye to the Lord, all the earth: shew forth from day to day his salvation.
Nou tout ki rete sou latè, chante pou Seyè a! Chak jou, fè konnen jan li delivre nou.
24 Declare his glory among the Gentiles: his wonders among all people.
Fè nasyon yo konnen pouvwa li. Fè tout pèp yo konnen bèl bagay li fè yo.
25 For the Lord is great and exceedingly to be praised: and he is to be feared above all 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 idols: 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 Praise and magnificence are before him: strength and joy in his place.
Devan li, se respè, se chapo ba. Gen pouvwa, gen kè kontan kote l' ye lakay li a.
28 Bring ye to the Lord, O ye families of the nations: bring ye to the Lord glory and empire.
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 glory to his name, bring up sacrifice, and come ye in his sight: and adore the Lord in holy becomingness.
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 Let all the earth be moved at his presence: for he hath founded the world immoveable.
Nou tout ki sou latè, tranble devan li. Latè kanpe fèm, anyen pa ka brannen l'.
31 Let the heavens rejoice, and the earth be glad: and let them say among the nations: The Lord hath reigned.
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 roar, and the fulness thereof: let the fields rejoice, and all things that are in them.
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 shall the trees of the wood give praise before the Lord: because he is come to judge 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 Give ye glory to the Lord, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever.
Lwanj pou Seyè a paske li bon. Li p'ap janm sispann renmen nou.
35 And say ye: Save us, O God our saviour: and gather us together, and deliver us from the nations, that we may give glory to thy holy name, and may rejoice in singing thy praises.
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 Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel from eternity to eternity: and let all the people say Amen, and a hymn to God.
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 left there before the ark of the covenant of the Lord, Asaph and his brethren to minister in the presence of the ark continually day by day, and in their courses.
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 Obededom, with his brethren sixty-eight: and Obededom the son of Idithun, and Hosa he appointed to be porters.
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 Sadoc the priest, and his brethren priests, before the tabernacle of the Lord in the high place, which was in Gabaon.
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 That they should offer holocausts to the Lord upon the altar of holocausts continually, morning and evening, according to all that is written in the law of the Lord, which he commanded 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 after him Heman, and Idithun, and the rest that were chosen, every one by his name to give praise to the Lord: because his mercy endureth 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 Idithun sounded the trumpet, and played on the cymbals, and all kinds of musical instruments to sing praises to God: and the sons of Idithun he made porters.
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 returned to their houses: and David to bless also his own house.
Apre sa, tout pèp la tounen lakay yo. David tounen lakay li tou pou l' beni fanmi pa l' tou.
