1 Wa 8
1 Apre sa, Salomon bay lòd pou tout gwo chèf pèp Izrayèl yo ansanm ak tout chèf branch fanmi yo ak lòt chèf fanmi pèp la vin jwenn li lavil Jerizalèm pou y' al pran Bwat Kontra Seyè a nan lavil David la, lavil Siyon an, pou yo pote l' nan Tanp lan.
Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the chief of the fathers of the children of Israel, to king Solomon in Jerusalem, that they might bring up the ark of the covenant of the LORD out of the city of David, which is Zion.
2 Pandan Fèt Joupa yo nan mwa Etanim lan, setyèm mwa nan kalandriye jwif yo, tout pèp Izrayèl la reyini ansanm ak wa Salomon.
And all the men of Israel assembled themselves to king Solomon at the feast in the month Ethanim, which is the seventh month.
3 Lè tout chèf fanmi pèp Izrayèl yo reyini, prèt yo pran Bwat Kontra a,
And all the elders of Israel came, and the priests took up the ark.
4 yo pote l' nan Tanp lan ansanm ak Tant Randevou Seyè a ak tout bagay ki te apa pou Seyè a nan Tant Randevou a. Se prèt yo ak moun Levi yo ki te pote yo moute.
And they brought up the ark of the LORD, and the tabernacle of the congregation, and all the holy vessels that were in the tabernacle, even those did the priests and the Levites bring up.
5 Wa Salomon ansanm ak tout pèp Izrayèl la sanble devan Bwat Kontra a, yo touye bèf, kabrit ak mouton an kantite pou Bondye. Moun pa t' ka konte konbe bèt yo te touye jou sa a sitèlman yo te anpil.
And king Solomon, and all the congregation of Israel, that were assembled to him, were with him before the ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen, that could not be told nor numbered for multitude.
6 Lè yo fini, prèt yo pote Bwat Kontra a nan pyès ki apa nèt pou Seyè a, yo mete l' nan mitan de pòtre zanj cheriben yo.
And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of the LORD to his place, into the oracle of the house, to the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubim.
7 Zèl cheriben yo te louvri, yo te kouvri tout kote Bwat Kontra a ye a ansanm ak poto ki sèvi pou pote l' yo.
For the cherubim spread forth their two wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and the staves thereof above.
8 Si yon moun kanpe sou devan pyès ki apa pou Seyè a, yo ka wè pwent poto yo tèlman yo te long. Men, ou pa ka wè yo lòt kote ankò. Jouk koulye a poto yo la toujou.
And they drew out the staves, that the ends of the staves were seen out in the holy place before the oracle, and they were not seen without: and there they are to this day.
9 Nan Bwat Kontra a pa t' gen pase de moso wòch plat Moyiz te mete ladan l' yo depi sou Mòn Orèb la. Se sou de wòch sa yo Seyè a te make kontra li te pase avèk moun pèp Izrayèl yo lè yo t'ap soti kite peyi Lejip.
There was nothing in the ark save the two tables of stone, which Moses put there at Horeb, when the LORD made a covenant with the children of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.
10 Lè prèt yo fè sa y'ap soti nan pyès apa pou Seyè a, nwaj la plen Tanp Seyè a nèt.
And it came to pass, when the priests were come out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of the LORD,
11 Poutèt nwaj la prèt yo pa t' ka rete fè sèvis yo, paske limyè prezans Seyè a te plen Tanp lan nèt.
So that the priests could not stand to minister because of the cloud: for the glory of the LORD had filled the house of the LORD.
12 Lèfini, Salomon di konsa: -Seyè, ou di ou pito viv kote ki fè nwa.
Then spoke Solomon, The LORD said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.
13 Koulye a, mwen bati yon tanp pou ou ka rete, yon kay kote ou pral viv pou tout tan.
I have surely built you an house to dwell in, a settled place for you to abide in for ever.
14 Lèfini, wa a vire, li bay pèp Izrayèl la fas. Tout pèp la te kanpe. Li mande benediksyon Bondye pou pèp la, li di konsa:
And the king turned his face about, and blessed all the congregation of Israel: (and all the congregation of Israel stood; )
15 -Lwanj pou Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la. Avèk fòs kouraj li, li kenbe pwomès li te fè David, papa m', lè li te di l' konsa:
And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, which spoke with his mouth to David my father, and has with his hand fulfilled it, saying,
16 Depi jou mwen te fè pèp mwen an soti kite peyi Lejip, mwen pa janm chwazi yon lavil nan tout peyi pèp Izrayèl la kote pou yo bati yon tanp ladan l' pou mwen rete. Men, mwen te chwazi David pou li gouvènen pèp mwen an, pèp Izrayèl la.
Since the day that I brought forth my people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build an house, that my name might be therein; but I chose David to be over my people Israel.
17 David, papa m', te fè lide bati yon tanp pou Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la.
And it was in the heart of David my father to build an house for the name of the LORD God of Israel.
18 Men, Seyè a te di l': Ou byen fèt gen lide bati yon tanp pou mwen.
And the LORD said to David my father, Whereas it was in your heart to build an house to my name, you did well that it was in your heart.
19 Men, se pa ou ki va bati l'. Se pwòp pitit gason w'ap fè a ki va bati Tanp lan pou mwen.
Nevertheless you shall not build the house; but your son that shall come forth out of your loins, he shall build the house to my name.
20 Koulye a, Seyè a kenbe pwomès li. Jan li te di l' la, se mwen ki nan plas David, papa m'. Mwen chita sou fotèy wa a Izrayèl la, mwen bati yon tanp pou Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la.
And the LORD has performed his word that he spoke, and I am risen up in the room of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as the LORD promised, and have built an house for the name of the LORD God of Israel.
21 Lèfini, mwen fè yon plas ladan l' pou Bwat Kontra Seyè a ki gen de moso wòch plat kote Seyè a te ekri kontra li te pase ak zansèt nou yo lè li te fè yo soti kite peyi Lejip.
And I have set there a place for the ark, wherein is the covenant of the LORD, which he made with our fathers, when he brought them out of the land of Egypt.
22 Apre sa, Salomon al kanpe devan lotèl Seyè a, devan tout pèp Izrayèl la, li leve de men l' anlè, li lapriyè Bondye,
And Solomon stood before the altar of the LORD in the presence of all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven:
23 li di: -Seyè, ou menm ki Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, pa gen Bondye tankou ou ni nan syèl ni sou latè. Ou kenbe kontra ou te pase ak pèp ou a. Ou moutre jan ou renmen moun k'ap sèvi ou ak tout kè yo.
And he said, LORD God of Israel, there is no God like you, in heaven above, or on earth beneath, who keep covenant and mercy with your servants that walk before you with all their heart:
24 Ou te kenbe pwomès ou te fè David, papa m' lan. Tou sa ou te di, ou fè l' rive vre jòdi a.
Who have kept with your servant David my father that you promised him: you spoke also with your mouth, and have fulfilled it with your hand, as it is this day.
25 Se poutèt sa, Seyè, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, m'ap mande ou pou ou kenbe lòt pwomès ou te fè David, papa m', sèvitè ou la, lè ou te di l' va toujou gen yonn nan pitit pitit li yo pou gouvènen pèp Izrayèl la, depi yo veye jan y'ap mache a pou yo mennen bak yo devan ou jan li menm li te fè l' la.
Therefore now, LORD God of Israel, keep with your servant David my father that you promised him, saying, There shall not fail you a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel; so that your children take heed to their way, that they walk before me as you have walked before me.
26 Se konsa, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, tanpri, fè tout bagay rive jan ou te fè pwomès la bay David, papa m', sèvitè ou la.
And now, O God of Israel, let your word, I pray you, be verified, which you spoke to your servant David my father.
27 Men, Bondye, èske ou ka rete tout bon sou latè? Ata syèl la pa laj ase pou l' kenbe ou. Ale wè pou ti kay mwen bati pou ou la a!
But will God indeed dwell on the earth? behold, the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain you; how much less this house that I have built?
28 Seyè, Bondye m', tanpri, se sèvitè ou mwen ye. Tanpri, tande jan m'ap lapriyè ou. Koute jan m'ap rele nan pye ou jòdi a.
Yet have you respect to the prayer of your servant, and to his supplication, O LORD my God, to listen to the cry and to the prayer, which your servant prays before you to day:
29 Lajounen kou lannwit, voye je ou sou Tanp lan, Tanp kote ou te di w'ap toujou la a. Koute lapriyè mwen menm, sèvitè ou la, m'ap fè nan pye ou la a.
That your eyes may be open toward this house night and day, even toward the place of which you have said, My name shall be there: that you may listen to the prayer which your servant shall make toward this place.
30 Wi, koute lapriyè m'ap fè ak lapriyè pèp Izrayèl ou a ap fè nan pye ou isit la. Nan syèl kote ou rete a, koute lapriyè nou, padonnen nou.
And listen you to the supplication of your servant, and of your people Israel, when they shall pray toward this place: and hear you in heaven your dwelling place: and when you hear, forgive.
31 Lè yo pote plent pou yon moun ki fè frè l' yon bagay mal, si yo mande l' pou l' fè sèman se pa vre, epi li vin fè sèman an devan lotèl ou a, nan tanp sa a,
If any man trespass against his neighbor, and an oath be laid on him to cause him to swear, and the oath come before your altar in this house:
32 ou menm, Seyè ki nan syèl la, w'a tande, w'a fè sa ki gen pou fèt la, w'a jije sèvitè ou yo. W'a pini moun ki koupab la, w'a fè chatiman li merite a tonbe sou tèt li. W'a fè rekonèt lè yon moun inonsan pou yo ka rann li jistis.
Then hear you in heaven, and do, and judge your servants, condemning the wicked, to bring his way on his head; and justifying the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness.
33 Lè lènmi va bat pèp Izrayèl la paske pèp la te peche kont ou, Bondye, si yo tounen vin jwenn ou, si yo fè lwanj pou ou, si yo vin lapriyè nan pye ou isit nan Tanp sa a,
When your people Israel be smitten down before the enemy, because they have sinned against you, and shall turn again to you, and confess your name, and pray, and make supplication to you in this house:
34 tanpri, kote ou ye nan syèl la, koute yo. Padonnen peche pèp Izrayèl ou a, fè yo tounen nan peyi ou te bay zansèt yo a.
Then hear you in heaven, and forgive the sin of your people Israel, and bring them again to the land which you gave to their fathers.
35 Lè va gen chechrès nan peyi a san yon ti degout lapli paske pèp la te peche kont ou, si yo règrèt sa yo te fè a paske ou te pini yo, si yo vin lapriyè isit la, si yo rele non ou,
When heaven is shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against you; if they pray toward this place, and confess your name, and turn from their sin, when you afflict them:
36 tanpri, kote ou ye nan syèl la, koute yo. Padonnen peche wa a ansanm ak peche pèp Izrayèl la. Moutre yo bon chemen pou yo pran an. Apre sa, Seyè, w'a voye lapli sou peyi ou te bay pèp ou a pou rele l' pa l' la.
Then hear you in heaven, and forgive the sin of your servants, and of your people Israel, that you teach them the good way wherein they should walk, and give rain on your land, which you have given to your people for an inheritance.
37 Lè va gen grangou nan peyi a, osinon lè move maladi lapès va tonbe sou li, lè plant yo va cheche nan van cho, lè krikèt ak chwal bondye va ravaje jaden yo, lè lènmi va sènen lavil nou yo pou atake pèp la, lè nenpòt maladi osinon nenpòt malè va tonbe sou pèp la,
If there be in the land famine, if there be pestilence, blasting, mildew, locust, or if there be caterpillar; if their enemy besiege them in the land of their cities; whatever plague, whatever sickness there be;
38 koute lapriyè y'ap fè nan pye ou. Lè nenpòt moun osinon tout pèp la va lapriyè nan pye ou, lè y'a règrèt sa yo fè a, lè y'a leve men yo nan direksyon Tanp lan pou yo lapriyè ou,
What prayer and supplication soever be made by any man, or by all your people Israel, which shall know every man the plague of his own heart, and spread forth his hands toward this house:
39 tanpri, koute lapriyè yo, kote ou ye nan syèl kote ou rete a, padonnen yo, fè sa ou gen pou fè a. Bay chak moun sa yo merite, paske ou konnen sa ki nan kè yo chak. Se ou menm sèlman ki konnen sa ki nan fon kè moun.
Then hear you in heaven your dwelling place, and forgive, and do, and give to every man according to his ways, whose heart you know; (for you, even you only, know the hearts of all the children of men; )
40 Wi, w'a bay chak moun sa yo merite, konsa pèp ou a va gen krentif pou ou pandan tout tan y'ap viv sou tè ou te bay zansèt nou yo.
That they may fear you all the days that they live in the land which you gave to our fathers.
41 Menm lè yon moun lòt nasyon ki pa fè pati pèp ou a soti byen lwen vini isit la poutèt ou,
Moreover concerning a stranger, that is not of your people Israel, but comes out of a far country for your name’s sake;
42 paske li tande jan y'ap nonmen non ou, li tande pale tout bèl bagay w'ap fè avèk fòs kouraj ou, si li vin lapriyè nan tanp sa a,
(For they shall hear of your great name, and of your strong hand, and of your stretched out arm; ) when he shall come and pray toward this house;
43 tanpri, nan syèl kote ou rete a, koute lapriyè li. W'a fè pou li tou sa li mande ou. Konsa tout pèp sou latè va konnen ou. y'a gen krentif pou ou tankou pèp Izrayèl ou a gen krentif pou ou. y'a konnen Tanp mwen bati pou ou a, se la pou yo vin adore ou.
Hear you in heaven 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, to fear you, as do your people Israel; and that they may know that this house, which I have built, is called by your name.
44 Lè pèp ou a va pati al goumen ak lènmi l' yo, nenpòt ki bò w'a voye yo, lè y'a vire tèt yo nan direksyon lavil ou chwazi a ak nan direksyon Tanp mwen bati pou ou a pou yo lapriyè nan pye ou,
If your people go out to battle against their enemy, wherever you shall send them, and shall pray to the LORD toward the city which you have chosen, and toward the house that I have built for your name:
45 tanpri, nan syèl kote ou rete a, koute lapriyè yo. Koute lapriyè y'ap fè nan pye ou, defann kòz yo.
Then hear you in heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.
46 Lè pèp ou a va peche kont ou, paske pa gen moun ki pa fè peche, lè w'a move sou yo, w'a lage yo nan men lènmi yo ki va fè yo prizonye, ki va depòte yo nan lòt peyi, li te mèt toupre, li te mèt byen lwen,
If they sin against you, (for there is no man that sins not, ) and you be angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captives to the land of the enemy, far or near;
47 antan yo la nan peyi kote lènmi yo te depòte yo a, si yo règrèt sa yo te fè, si yo lapriyè nan pye ou, si yo rekonèt yo te fè sa ki mal, si yo rekonèt yo te peche, si yo rekonèt yo antò,
Yet if they shall bethink themselves in the land where they were carried captives, and repent, and make supplication to you in the land of them that carried them captives, saying, We have sinned, and have done perversely, we have committed wickedness;
48 si yo tounen vin jwenn ou ak tout kè yo ak tout nanm yo, antan yo nan peyi kote lènmi te depòte yo a, si yo vire tèt yo nan direksyon peyi ou te bay zansèt yo a, nan direksyon lavil ou te chwazi a, nan direksyon Tanp mwen bati pou ou a pou yo lapriyè nan pye ou,
And so return to you with all their heart, and with all their soul, in the land of their enemies, which led them away captive, and pray to you toward their land, which you gave to their fathers, the city which you have chosen, and the house which I have built for your name:
49 tanpri, koute lapriyè y'ap fè nan pye ou, kote ou ye nan syèl kote ou rete a. Koute lapriyè yo, defann kòz yo.
Then hear you their prayer and their supplication in heaven your dwelling place, and maintain their cause,
50 Padonnen pèp ou a tout peche yo te fè kont ou, tout vire do yo te vire do ba ou. W'a fè lènmi ki te depòte yo gen pitye pou yo.
And forgive your people that have sinned against you, and all their transgressions wherein they have transgressed against you, and give them compassion before them who carried them captive, that they may have compassion on them:
51 Paske, se pèp ki rele ou pa ou la yo ye, pèp ou menm ou te fè soti kite peyi Lejip ki te pou yo tankou yon gwo fou dife kote yo fonn fè.
For they be your people, and your inheritance, which you brought forth out of Egypt, from the middle of the furnace of iron:
52 Seyè, Bondye, louvri je ou! Koute lapriyè mwen menm, sèvitè ou, m'ap fè nan pye ou ansanm ak tout pèp Izrayèl la, chak fwa n'ap rele pou mande ou sekou.
That your eyes may be open to the supplication of your servant, and to the supplication of your people Israel, to listen to them in all that they call for to you.
53 Se ou menm ki te chwazi nou nan mitan tout lòt pèp sou latè pou nou te ka rele ou pa ou, jan ou te di l' nan bouch Moyiz, sèvitè ou la, lè ou te fè zansèt nou yo soti kite peyi Lejip.
For you did separate them from among all the people of the earth, to be your inheritance, as you spoke by the hand of Moses your servant, when you brought our fathers out of Egypt, O LORD God.
54 Pandan Salomon t'ap fè lapriyè sa a nan pye Bondye, li te ajenou devan lotèl la, de bra leve anlè. Lè li fini, li leve.
And it was so, that when Solomon had made an end of praying all this prayer and supplication to the LORD, he arose from before the altar of the LORD, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread up to heaven.
55 Li kanpe, li mande Bondye pou l' voye benediksyon l' sou tout pèp Izrayèl la ki te sanble la a. Li pale byen fò, li di:
And he stood, and blessed all the congregation of Israel with a loud voice, saying,
56 -Lwanj pou Seyè a ki bay pèp Izrayèl la kè poze, jan li te pwomèt la. Li kenbe tout bèl pwomès li te fè nan bouch Moyiz, sèvitè l' la.
Blessed be the LORD, that has given rest to his people Israel, according to all that he promised: there has not failed one word of all his good promise, which he promised by the hand of Moses his servant.
57 Koulye a, mwen mande pou Seyè a, Bondye nou an, toujou kanpe la avèk nou jan li te toujou kanpe la ak zansèt nou yo. Mwen mande l' pou l' pa janm lage nou, pou l' pa janm bliye nou.
The LORD our God be with us, as he was with our fathers: let him not leave us, nor forsake us:
58 Se pou li fè nou pa janm bliye l' pou nou ka toujou fè volonte l' nan tout sa n'ap fè, pou nou kenbe lòd, prensip ak kòmandman li te bay zansèt nou yo.
That he may incline our hearts to him, to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and his statutes, and his judgments, which he commanded our fathers.
59 Se pou Seyè a, Bondye nou an, pa janm bliye lapriyè sa yo mwen sot fè nan pye l' la. Se pou l' toujou gen pitye pou pèp Izrayèl la ansanm ak wa a, sèvitè li a, dapre sa y'a bezwen chak jou.
And let these my words, with which I have made supplication before the LORD, be near to the LORD our God day and night, that he maintain the cause of his servant, and the cause of his people Israel at all times, as the matter shall require:
60 Konsa, tout nasyon sou latè va konnen se Seyè a sèl ki Bondye. Pa gen lòt!
That all the people of the earth may know that the LORD is God, and that there is none else.
61 Se pou nou toujou kenbe pye Seyè a, Bondye nou an, fèm. Se pou nou mache dapre lòd li ban nou, pou nou fè tou sa li mande nou fè tankou jòdi a.
Let your heart therefore be perfect with the LORD our God, to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as at this day.
62 Apre sa, wa Salomon ansanm ak tout pèp Izrayèl ki te la a ofri bèt pou touye pou Seyè a.
And the king, and all Israel with him, offered sacrifice before the LORD.
63 Salomon te ofri venndemil (22.000) towo ak sanvenmil (120.000) mouton pou mande Bondye padon. Se konsa wa a ansanm ak tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo te mete Tanp lan apa pou Seyè a.
And Solomon offered a sacrifice of peace offerings, which he offered to the LORD, two and twenty thousand oxen, and an hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the children of Israel dedicated the house of the LORD.
64 Menm jou a, li mete mitan gwo lakou ki devan Tanp Seyè a apa pou Bondye. Lèfini, se la li ofri bèt pou boule nèt pou Seyè a, grenn jaden ak grès bèt yo te touye pou mande Bondye padon, paske lotèl kwiv ki devan Tanp lan te twò piti pou pran tout ofrann sa yo.
The same day did the king hallow the middle of the court that was before the house of the LORD: for there he offered burnt offerings, and meat offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings: because the brazen altar that was before the LORD was too little to receive the burnt offerings, and meat offerings, and the fat of the peace offerings.
65 Lè sa a, Salomon ansanm ak tout pèp Izrayèl la fete Fèt Joupa yo pandan sèt jou. Foul moun te soti depi Pas Amat la nan nò jouk sou fwontyè ak peyi Lejip la nan sid, yo vin fete fèt la pandan sèt jou. Lèfini, yo fete pandan sèt jou ankò. Sa te fè antou katòz jou.
And at that time Solomon held a feast, and all Israel with him, a great congregation, from the entering in of Hamath to the river of Egypt, before the LORD our God, seven days and seven days, even fourteen days.
66 Sou wityèm jou a, Salomon voye tout moun tounen lakay yo. Yo tout t'ap fè lwanj li, y' al lakay yo ak kè kontan, paske sa te fè yo plezi pou wè tout benediksyon Seyè a te bay David, sèvitè l' la, ansanm ak pèp Izrayèl li a.
On the eighth day he sent the people away: and they blessed the king, and went to their tents joyful and glad of heart for all the goodness that the LORD had done for David his servant, and for Israel his people.
