1 Chronicles 28
1 And David assembled all the chief men of Israel, the princes of the tribes, and the captains of the companies, who waited on the king: and the captains over thousands, and over hundreds, and them who had the charge over the substance and possessions of the king, and his sons with the officers of the court, and the men of power, and all the bravest of the army at Jerusalem.
Alò, David te rasanble nan Jérusalem tout ofisye Israël yo, chèf a tribi yo, kòmandan a divizyon ki te sèvi wa yo, kòmandan a dè milye yo avèk kòmandan a dè santèn yo, sipèvizè a tout teren avèk bèt ki te apatyen a wa a, avèk fis li yo, avèk ofisye yo ak mesye pwisan yo, menm tout mesye gwo kouraj yo.
2 And the king rising up, and standing said: Hear me, my brethren and my people: I had a thought to have built a house, in which the ark of the Lord, and the footstool of our God might rest: and I prepared all things for the building.
Epi Wa David te leve sou pye li e te di: “Koute mwen, frè m yo ak pèp mwen an! Mwen te gen entansyon bati yon kay repo pou lach akò SENYÈ a e pou machpye Bondye nou an. Pou sa, mwen te fè preparasyon yo pou bati li.
3 And God said to me: Thou shalt not build a house to my name: because thou art a man of war, and hast shed blood.
Men Bondye te di mwen: ‘Ou p ap bati yon kay pou non Mwen, akoz ou se yon nonm lagè, e ou te vèse san.’
4 But the Lord God of Israel chose me of all the house of my father, to be king over Israel for ever: for of Juda he chose the princes: and of the house of Juda, my father’s house: and among the sons of my father, it pleased him to choose me king over all Israel.
Sepandan, SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la, te chwazi mwen soti nan tout lakay papa m pou vin wa sou Israël jis pou tout tan.
5 And among my sons (for the Lord hath given me many sons) he hath chosen Solomon my son, to sit upon the throne of the kingdom of the Lord over Israel.
Pami tout fis mwen yo, (paske SENYÈ a te ban mwen anpil fis), Li te chwazi fis mwen an, Salomon pou chita sou twòn wayòm SENYÈ a sou Israël.
6 And he said to me: Solomon thy son shall build my house, and my courts: for I have chosen him to be my son, and I will be a father to him.
Li te di mwen: ‘Fis ou a, Salomon, se li menm ki va bati kay Mwen an, ak tout lakou li yo; paske Mwen te chwazi Li pou devni yon fis pou Mwen e Mwen va yon papa pou li.
7 And I will establish his kingdom for ever, if he continue to keep my commandments, and my judgments, as at this day.
Mwen va etabli wayòm li jis pou tout tan si avèk tout kè li, li fè kòmandman Mwen yo avèk règleman Mwen yo, jan sa ap fèt koulye a.’”
8 Now then before all the assembly of Israel, in the hearing of our God, keep ye, and seek all the commandments of the Lord our God: that you may possess the good land, and may leave it to your children after you for ever.
“Pou sa, koulye a, devan zye a tout Israël, asanble SENYÈ a e nan tande a Bondye nou an, swiv e pran a kè tout kòmandman a SENYÈ yo, Bondye nou an, pou nou kapab posede bon peyi a e bay li a fis apre nou yo, jis pou tout tan.
9 And thou my son Solomon, know the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart, and a willing mind: for the Lord searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the thoughts of minds. If thou seek him, thou shalt find him: but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off for ever.
“Epi pou ou menm, fis mwen an, Salomon, fè konesans a Bondye papa ou a e sèvi li avèk tout kè ou e avèk bòn volonte; paske SENYÈ a chache nan tout kè yo e byen konprann entansyon a tout panse yo. Si ou chache Li, Li va kite ou jwenn Li; men si ou abandone Li, Li va rejte ou jis pou tout tan.
10 Now therefore seeing the Lord hath chosen thee to build the house of the sanctuary, take courage, and do it.
Koulye a, reflechi byen, paske SENYÈ a te fin chwazi ou menm pou bati yon kay pou sanktiyè a. Pran kouraj e aji.”
11 And David gave to Solomon his son a description of the porch, and of the temple, and of the treasures, and of the upper floor, and of the inner chambers, and of the house for the mercy seat,
Epi David te bay a fis li Salomon, plan pou fè galri tanp lan, tout chanm li yo, avèk chanm trezò li yo, chanm anlè li yo, chanm enteryè li yo, ak chanm pou twòn pwopiyatwa a;
12 As also of all the courts, which he had in his thought, and of the chambers round about, for the treasures of the house of the Lord, and for the treasures of the consecrated things,
epi plan a tout sa ke li te gen nan tèt li, pou lakou lakay SENYÈ a e pou tout chanm ki te antoure l yo, pou chanm trezò lakay Bondye yo, e pou chanm trezò pou tout bagay konsakre yo;
13 And of the divisions of the priests and of the Levites, for all the works of the house of the Lord, and for all the vessels of the service of the temple of the Lord.
anplis, pou divizyon a prèt yo avèk Levit yo pou tout travay sèvis lakay SENYÈ a e pou tout zouti sèvis lakay SENYÈ yo;
14 Gold by weight for every vessel for the ministry. And silver by weight according to the diversity of the vessels and uses.
pou zouti an lò yo, lò pou tout zouti pou tout kalite sèvis yo, pou zouti an ajan yo, ajan pou tout zouti a tout kalite sèvis yo;
15 He gave also gold for the golden candlesticks, and their lamps, according to the dimensions of every candlestick, and the lamps thereof. In like manner also he gave silver by weight for the silver candlesticks, and for their lamps according to the diversity of the dimensions of them.
epi lò pou baz chandelye an lò yo avèk lanp pa li yo; epi ajan a baz chandelye an ajan yo, avèk pwa a chak baz avèk lanp pa li yo selon sèvis a chak chandelye;
16 He gave also gold for the tables of proposition, according to the diversity of the tables: in like manner also silver for other tables of silver.
epi pwa a lò a pou tab pen konsakre pou chak tab la; epi ajan pou tab an ajan yo;
17 For fleshhooks also, and bowls, and censers of fine gold, and for little lions of gold, according to the measure he gave by weight, for every lion. In like manner also for lions of silver he set aside a different weight of silver.
epi fouchèt yo, basen yo ak krich an lò pi yo; epi pou bòl an lò yo avèk pwa pou chak bòl; epi pou bòl an ajan avèk pwa a chak bòl;
18 And for the altar of incense, he gave the purest gold: and to make the likeness of the chariot of the cherubims spreading their wings, and covering the ark of the covenant of the Lord.
epi pou lotèl lansan an lò rafine pa pwa; epi lò pou modèl a cha a, menm cheriben ki te ouvri zèl yo pou te kouvri lach akò SENYÈ a.
19 All these things, said he, came to me written by the hand of the Lord that I might understand all the works of the pattern.
David te di: “SENYÈ a te fè M konprann avèk men L ki te ekri pou mwen, tout detay a modèl sila a.”
20 And David said to Solomon his son: Act like a man, and take courage, and do: fear not, and be not dismayed: for the Lord my God will be with thee, and will not leave thee, nor forsake thee, till thou hast finished all the work for the service of the house of the Lord.
Konsa, David te di a fis li, Salomon: “Kenbe fèm, pran kouraj e aji pran desizyon. Pa pè, ni dekouraje, paske SENYÈ a, Bondye a, avèk ou. Li p ap fè fayit, ni Li p ap abandone ou jiskaske ke tout lèv pou lakay SENYÈ a fini.
21 Behold the courses of the priests and the Levites, for every ministry of the house of the Lord, stand by thee, and are ready, and both the princes, and the people know how to execute all thy commandments.
Alò, gade byen, men divizyon a prèt yo avèk Levit yo pou tout sèvis lakay Bondye yo e tout mesye avèk kapasite yo va avèk ou nan travay la pou tout kalite sèvis yo. Anplis, ofisye yo avèk tout pèp la va disponib nèt sou lòd pa ou.”
