2 Chronicles 6
1 Then said Solomon, The LORD has said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.
Epi Salomon te di: “SENYÈ a te di ke Li ta abite nan nwaj fonse a.
2 But I have built an house of habitation for you, and a place for your dwelling for ever.
Mwen te bati yon kay byen wo ak yon plas pou abitasyon pa W Jis pou tout tan.”
3 And the king turned his face, and blessed the whole congregation of Israel: and all the congregation of Israel stood.
Konsa, wa a te vire fas li pou te beni tout asanble Israël la pandan tout asanble a te kanpe.
4 And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, who has with his hands fulfilled that which he spoke with his mouth to my father David, saying,
Li te di: “Beni se SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la, ki te pale avèk bouch Li a papa m, David, e ki te acheve sa avèk men Li, lè li te di:
5 Since the day that I brought forth my people out of the land of Egypt I chose no city among all the tribes of Israel to build an house in, that my name might be there; neither chose I any man to be a ruler over my people Israel:
‘Depi jou ke M te mennen pèp Mwen an sòti nan peyi Égypte la, Mwen pa t chwazi yon vil nan tout tribi Israël yo pou bati yon kay pou non Mwen ta kapab la, ni Mwen pa t chwazi yon moun kòm chèf sou pèp Mwen an, Israël;
6 But I have chosen Jerusalem, that my name might be there; and have chosen David to be over my people Israel.
men Mwen te chwazi Jérusalem pou non Mwen ta kapab la, e Mwen te chwazi David pou li kapab sou pèp Mwen an, Israël.’
7 Now it was in the heart of David my father to build an house for the name of the LORD God of Israel.
Alò, li te nan kè a papa m, David, pou bati yon kay pou non SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la.
8 But the LORD said to David my father, For as much as it was in your heart to build an house for my name, you did well in that it was in your heart:
Men SENYÈ a te di a papa m, David: ‘Akoz li te nan kè ou pou bati kay pou non Mwen an, ou te fè byen lè sa te nan kè ou a.
9 Notwithstanding you shall not build the house; but your son which shall come forth out of your loins, he shall build the house for my name.
Sepandan, ou p ap bati kay la, men fis ou ki va fèt a ou menm, li va bati kay la pou non Mwen.’”
10 The LORD therefore has performed his word that he has spoken: for I am risen up in the room of David my father, and am set on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised, and have built the house for the name of the LORD God of Israel.
“Koulye a, SENYÈ a gen tan fin akonpli pawòl ke Li te pale a. Paske mwen te monte nan plas a papa m David, pou chita sou twòn Israël la, jan SENYÈ a te pale a, e te bati kay la pou non SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la.
11 And in it have I put the ark, wherein is the covenant of the LORD, that he made with the children of Israel.
La, mwen te mete lach ki gen akò SENYÈ a ladann nan, akò ke Li te fè avèk fis Israël yo.”
12 And he stood before the altar of the LORD in the presence of all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands:
Konsa, li te kanpe devan lotèl SENYÈ a nan prezans a tout asanble Israël la, e li te lonje men li.
13 For Solomon had made a brazen scaffold of five cubits long, and five cubits broad, and three cubits high, and had set it in the middle of the court: and on it he stood, and kneeled down on his knees before all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven.
Alò, Salomon te fè yon etaj an bwonz, senk koude nan longè, senk koude nan lajè ak twa koude nan wotè e li te plase li nan mitan gran lakou a. Epi li te kanpe sou li, li te mete li ajenou nan prezans a tout asanble Israël la, e li te lonje men li vè syèl la.
14 And said, O LORD God of Israel, there is no God like you in the heaven, nor in the earth; which keep covenant, and show mercy to your servants, that walk before you with all their hearts:
Li te di: “O SENYÈ, Bondye Israël la, nanpwen dye tankou Ou nan syèl la ni sou tè a, k ap kenbe akò avèk lanmou dous avèk sèvitè Ou yo ki mache devan Ou avèk tout kè yo;
15 You which have kept with your servant David my father that which you have promised him; and spoke with your mouth, and have fulfilled it with your hand, as it is this day.
ki te kenbe pawòl avèk sèvitè Ou, David, papa m, nan sa ke Ou te pwomèt li a. Anverite, Ou te pale avèk bouch Ou, e Ou te akonpli li avèk men Ou, jan sa ye jodi a.
16 Now therefore, O LORD God of Israel, keep with your servant David my father that which you have promised him, saying, There shall not fail you a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel; yet so that your children take heed to their way to walk in my law, as you have walked before me.
“Pou sa, O SENYÈ, Bondye Israël la, kenbe avèk sèvitè Ou a, David, sa ke ou te pwomèt li a. Ou te di: ‘Ou p ap manke yon nonm ki pou chita sou twòn Israël la, si sèlman fis ou yo fè atansyon nan chemen yo, pou mache nan lalwa pa Mwen, jan ou te mache devan M nan.’
17 Now then, O LORD God of Israel, let your word be verified, which you have spoken to your servant David.
Alò, pou sa, O SENYÈ, Bondye Israël la, kite pawòl Ou konfime nan sa Ou te pale a sèvitè Ou a, David.
18 But will God in very deed dwell with men on the earth? behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain you; how much less this house which I have built!
“Men èske Bondye va vrèman rete avèk lòm sou tè a? Gade byen, syèl la avèk pi wo syèl la pa kab kenbe Ou; bokou mwens, pou kay sa a ke m te konstwi a.
19 Have respect therefore to the prayer of your servant, and to his supplication, O LORD my God, to listen to the cry and the prayer which your servant prays before you:
Malgre sa, prete atansyon a lapriyè a sèvitè Ou a, avèk sa li mande a, O SENYÈ Bondye mwen an, pou koute lè m kriye ak lapriyè ke sèvitè Ou a fè devan Ou;
20 That your eyes may be open on this house day and night, on the place whereof you have said that you would put your name there; to listen to the prayer which your servant prays toward this place.
pou zye Ou kapab ouvri vè kay sa a lajounen kon lannwit, vè plas sou sila Ou te di ke Ou ta mete non Ou la, pou koute lapriyè ke sèvitè Ou a va fè vè plas sa a.
21 Listen therefore to the supplications of your servant, and of your people Israel, which they shall make toward this place: hear you from your dwelling place, even from heaven; and when you hear, forgive.
Koute a siplikasyon a sèvitè Ou yo ak pèp Ou a, Israël, lè yo priye vè plas sa a; koute depi nan abitasyon Ou an, nan syèl la; e lè Ou koute, padone.
22 If a man sin against his neighbor, and an oath be laid on him to make him swear, and the oath come before your altar in this house;
“Si yon nonm peche kont vwazen li, pou li oblije sèmante e li vin fè yon sèman devan lotèl Ou nan kay sila a,
23 Then hear you from heaven, and do, and judge your servants, by requiting the wicked, by recompensing his way on his own head; and by justifying the righteous, by giving him according to his righteousness.
alò, tande soti nan syèl la e aji pou jije sèvitè Ou yo, avèk pinisyon pou mechan an k ap fè chemen pa li vin tonbe sou pwòp tèt li, epi pou rann jistis a sila ki dwat yo e ba li selon ladwati li.
24 And if your people Israel be put to the worse before the enemy, because they have sinned against you; and shall return and confess your name, and pray and make supplication before you in this house;
“Si pèp Ou a ta vin bat devan yon lènmi akoz peche ke yo konn fè kont Ou, e yo retounen kote Ou pou konfese non Ou; si yo priye devan Ou e fè siplikasyon devan Ou nan kay sa a,
25 Then hear you from the heavens, and forgive the sin of your people Israel, and bring them again to the land which you gave to them and to their fathers.
alò, koute soti nan syèl la, e padone peche a pèp Ou a, Israël. Mennen yo retounen nan peyi ke Ou te bay a yo menm avèk zansèt pa yo.
26 When the heaven is shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against you; yet if they pray toward this place, and confess your name, and turn from their sin, when you do afflict them;
“Lè syèl yo vin fèmen e nanpwen lapli akoz peche ke yo fè kont Ou, si yo fè lapriyè vè plas sa a e konfese non Ou, pou yo vire kite peche pa yo lè Ou aflije yo;
27 Then hear you from heaven, and forgive the sin of your servants, and of your people Israel, when you have taught them the good way, wherein they should walk; and send rain on your land, which you have given to your people for an inheritance.
alò, tande nan syèl la e padone peche a sèvitè Ou yo ak pèp Ou a, Israël. Anverite, enstwi yo selon bon chemen nan sila yo ta dwe mache a, epi voye lapli sou tè ke Ou te bay a pèp Ou a kòm eritaj la.
28 If there be dearth in the land, if there be pestilence, if there be blasting, or mildew, locusts, or caterpillars; if their enemies besiege them in the cities of their land; whatever sore or whatever sickness there be:
“Si gen gwo grangou nan peyi a, si se gwo maladi, si gen gwo dega jaden ak bèt, oswa kanni, si gen krikèt oswa bèt volan, si lènmi yo fè syèj a yo menm nan teren vil yo, nenpòt toumant, nenpòt maladi,
29 Then what prayer or what supplication soever shall be made of any man, or of all your people Israel, when every one shall know his own sore and his own grief, and shall spread forth his hands in this house:
nenpòt lapriyè oswa siplikasyon ki fèt pa nenpòt moun, oswa pa tout pèp Ou a, Israël, chak moun ki konnen pwòp soufrans li ak pwòp doulè li e ki vin ouvri men li vè kay sila a,
30 Then hear you from heaven your dwelling place, and forgive, and render to every man according to all his ways, whose heart you know; (for you only know the hearts of the children of men: )
nan lè sa a, koute depi nan syèl la, abitasyon pa Ou a, epi padone e bay a chak moun selon pwòp chemen li, kè a sila Ou konnen yo (paske Ou menm sèl konnen kè a fis a lòm yo),
31 That they may fear you, to walk in your ways, so long as they live in the land which you gave to our fathers.
pou yo ta kapab gen lakrent Ou, pou mache nan chemen Ou yo pou tout tan ke yo rete nan peyi ke Ou te bay a zansèt nou yo.
32 Moreover concerning the stranger, which is not of your people Israel, but is come from a far country for your great name’s sake, and your mighty hand, and your stretched out arm; if they come and pray in this house;
“Anplis, selon etranje ki pa sòti nan pèp Ou a, Israël, lè li sòti nan yon peyi lwen, akoz gran non pa Ou, avèk men pwisan Ou ak bwa Ou ki lonje byen ouvri a, lè yo vini fè lapriyè vè kay sila a,
33 Then hear you from the heavens, even from your dwelling place, and do according to all that the stranger calls to you for; that all people of the earth may know your name, and fear you, as does your people Israel, and may know that this house which I have built is called by your name.
alò, koute depi nan syèl la, depi abitasyon Ou a, e fè selon tout sa ke etranje sila a vin mande Ou, jis pou tout pèp sou latè yo kapab konnen non Ou e gen lakrent ou, jan pèp Israël Ou a konn fè a, pou yo kapab rekonèt ke kay sila ke m te bati a rele pa non Ou.
34 If your people go out to war against their enemies by the way that you shall send them, and they pray to you toward this city which you have chosen, and the house which I have built for your name;
“Lè pèp Ou a sòti pou batay kont lènmi yo, pa nenpòt chemen ke Ou ta voye yo, e yo priye a Ou menm vè vil sila ke Ou te chwazi ak kay ke m te bati pou non Ou a,
35 Then hear you from the heavens their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.
nan lè sa a, koute lapriyè yo soti nan syèl la avèk siplikasyon yo, e bay soutyen a koz pa yo.
36 If they sin against you, (for there is no man which sins not, ) and you be angry with them, and deliver them over before their enemies, and they carry them away captives to a land far off or near;
“Lè yo fè peche kont Ou (paske nanpwen lòm ki pa peche), epi Ou fache avèk yo jis Ou livre yo a yon lènmi, e yo pran yo mete an kaptivite nan yon peyi lwen, oswa pre;
37 Yet if they bethink themselves in the land where they are carried captive, and turn and pray to you in the land of their captivity, saying, We have sinned, we have done amiss, and have dealt wickedly;
si yo vin reflechi nan peyi kote yo te mennen an kaptivite a, repanti, e fè siplikasyon a Ou menm nan peyi kaptivite yo a, e di: ‘Nou te peche, nou fè inikite e te aji avèk mechanste;’
38 If they return to you with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their captivity, where they have carried them captives, and pray toward their land, which you gave to their fathers, and toward the city which you have chosen, and toward the house which I have built for your name:
si yo retounen a Ou menm avèk tout kè yo, avèk tout nanm yo soti nan peyi kaptivite yo a, kote yo te mennen yo an kaptivite a, e priye vè peyi yo a ke Ou te bay a zansèt yo, ak vil ke Ou te chwazi a, e vè kay ke m te bati pou non Ou a,
39 Then hear you from the heavens, even from your dwelling place, their prayer and their supplications, and maintain their cause, and forgive your people which have sinned against you.
alò, tande, depi nan syèl la, depi nan abitasyon pa Ou a, lapriyè pa yo, avèk siplikasyon pa yo, e bay soutyen a koz pa yo, epi padone pèp Ou a ki te peche kont Ou.
40 Now, my God, let, I beseech you, your eyes be open, and let your ears be attentive to the prayer that is made in this place.
“Koulye a, O Bondye mwen, mwen priye, kite zye Ou louvri e zòrèy ou vin atantif a lapriyè sa a, ki fèt nan plas sa a.
41 Now therefore arise, O LORD God, into your resting place, you, and the ark of your strength: let your priests, O LORD God, be clothed with salvation, and let your saints rejoice in goodness.
“Alò, pou sa, leve, O SENYÈ Bondye, a plas repo pa Ou a, Ou menm avèk lach pwisan pa Ou a. Kite prèt Ou yo, SENYÈ Bondye, abiye avèk sali, e kite fidèl Ou yo rejwi nan tout sa ki bon.
42 O LORD God, turn not away the face of your anointed: remember the mercies of David your servant.
“O SENYÈ Bondye, pa vire kite fas a onksyone pa Ou a. Sonje lanmou dous Ou vè sèvitè Ou a, David.”
