II Chronicles 6

Lè sa a, Salomon di konsa: -Seyè, ou di ou pito viv kote ki fè nwa.

Then said Solomon, The LORD hath said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.

Koulye a, mwen bati yon tanp pou ou ka rete, yon kay kote ou pral viv pou tout tan.

But I have built an house of habitation for thee, and a place for thy dwelling for ever.

Lèfini, wa a vire, li bay pèp Izrayèl la fas. Tout pèp la te kanpe. Li mande benediksyon Bondye pou pèp la,

And the king turned his face, and blessed the whole congregation of Israel: and all the congregation of Israel stood.

li di: -Lwanj pou Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la! Avèk fòs kouraj li, li kenbe pwomès li te fè David, papa m' lan, lè li te di l' konsa:

And he said, Blessed be the LORD God of Israel, who hath with his hands fulfilled that which he spake with his mouth to my father David, saying,

Depi jou mwen te fè pèp mwen an soti kite peyi Lejip, mwen pa janm chwazi yon lavil nan tout peyi pèp Izrayèl la pou yo bati yon tanp ladan l' pou mwen rete, ni mwen pa t' chwazi pesonn pou gouvènen pèp mwen an, pèp Izrayèl la.

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:

Men koulye a, mwen chwazi lavil Jerizalèm pou se la yo fè sèvis pou mwen, lèfini mwen chwazi David pou li gouvènen pèp mwen an.

But I have chosen Jerusalem, that my name might be there; and have chosen David to be over my people Israel.

David, papa m', te fè lide bati yon tanp pou Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la,

Now it was in the heart of David my father to build an house for the name of the LORD God of Israel.

Men, Seyè a te di l': Ou byen fèt gen lide bati yon kay pou mwen.

But the LORD said to David my father, Forasmuch as it was in thine heart to build an house for my name, thou didst well in that it was in thine heart:

Men, se pa ou ki va bati l'. Se pwòp pitit gason w'ap fè a ki va bati tanp lan pou mwen.

Notwithstanding thou shalt not build the house; but thy son which shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house for my name.

Koulye a, Seyè a kenbe pwomès li. Jan li te di l' la, se mwen menm ki nan plas David, papa m'. Mwen chita sou fotèy wa Izrayèl la. Mwen bati yon tanp pou Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la.

The LORD therefore hath performed his word that he hath 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.

Lèfini, mwen fè yon plas ladan l' pou Bwat Kontra Seyè a, kontra li te pase ak moun pèp Izrayèl yo.

And in it have I put the ark, wherein is the covenant of the LORD, that he made with the children of Israel.

Apre sa, Salomon al kanpe devan lotèl Seyè a, devan tout pèp Izrayèl la, li leve de men l' anlè pou l' lapriyè.

And he stood before the altar of the LORD in the presence of all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands:

Salomon te fè fè yon platfòm an kwiv. Li fè yo mete l' nan mitan lakou a. Platfòm lan te kare kare, wit pye longè, wit pye lajè ak senk pye wotè. Li moute sou li, li mete ajenou devan tout pèp Izrayèl la. Li leve de men l' anlè,

For Solomon had made a brasen scaffold, of five cubits long, and five cubits broad, and three cubits high, and had set it in the midst of the court: and upon it he stood, and kneeled down upon his knees before all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven,

epi 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 siyen ak pèp ou a. Ou moutre jan ou renmen moun k'ap sèvi ou ak tout kè yo.

And said, O LORD God of Israel, there is no God like thee in the heaven, nor in the earth; which keepest covenant, and shewest mercy unto thy servants, that walk before thee with all their hearts:

Ou te kenbe pwomès ou te fè David, papa m', sèvitè ou la. Tou sa ou te di w'ap fè, ou fè l' rive vre jòdi a ak fòs ponyèt ou.

Thou which hast kept with thy servant David my father that which thou hast promised him; and spakest with thy mouth, and hast fulfilled it with thine hand, as it is this day.

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 li yo pou gouvènen pèp Izrayèl la, depi yo veye jan y'ap mache pou yo mennen bak yo devan ou jan li menm li te fè l' la.

Now therefore, O LORD God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father that which thou hast promised him, saying, There shall not fail thee a man in my sight to sit upon the throne of Israel; yet so that thy children take heed to their way to walk in my law, as thou hast walked before me.

Se konsa, Seyè, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, fè tout bagay rive jan ou te fè pwomès la bay David, sèvitè ou la.

Now then, O LORD God of Israel, let thy word be verified, which thou hast spoken unto thy servant David.

Men, Bondye, èske ou ka rete tout bon sou latè ak moun? Ata syèl la pa laj ase pou l' kenbe ou! Ale wè pou ti kay mwen bati pou ou la a!

But will God in very deed dwell with men on the earth? behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house which I have built!

Seyè, Bondye m', tanpri, se sèvitè ou mwen ye! Tanpri, tande jan m'ap lapriyè nan pye ou. Koute jan m'ap rele nan zòrèy ou jòdi a. Tande jan m'ap rele, jan m'ap lapriyè nan pye ou.

Have respect therefore to the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplication, O LORD my God, to hearken unto the cry and the prayer which thy servant prayeth before thee:

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.

That thine eyes may be open upon this house day and night, upon the place whereof thou hast said that thou wouldest put thy name there; to hearken unto the prayer which thy servant prayeth toward this place.

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.

Hearken therefore unto the supplications of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, which they shall make toward this place: hear thou from thy dwelling place, even from heaven; and when thou hearest, forgive.

Lè y'a 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 a man sin against his neighbour, and an oath be laid upon him to make him swear, and the oath come before thine altar in this house;

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 thou from heaven, and do, and judge thy servants, by requiting the wicked, by recompensing his way upon his own head; and by justifying the righteous, by giving him according to his righteousness.

Lè lènmi va bat pèp Izrayèl la paske pèp la te peche kont ou, si yo tounen vin jwenn ou, si yo fè lwanj pou ou, si yo vin lapriyè nan pye ou isit la nan kay sa a,

And if thy people Israel be put to the worse before the enemy, because they have sinned against thee; and shall return and confess thy name, and pray and make supplication before thee in this house;

tanpri, kote ou ye nan syèl la, koute yo. Padonnen peche pèp Izrayèl ou a, fè yo tounen nan peyi ou te ba yo ansanm ak zansèt yo a.

Then hear thou from the heavens, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them again unto the land which thou gavest to them and to their fathers.

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 fè lwanj ou,

When the heaven is shut up, and there is no rain, because they have sinned against thee; yet if they pray toward this place, and confess thy name, and turn from their sin, when thou dost afflict them;

tanpri, kote ou ye nan syèl la, koute yo. Padonnen peche sèvitè ou yo ak peche moun pèp Izrayèl ou yo. Moutre yo bon chemen pou yo pran an. Apre sa, Seyè, w'a voye lapli sou peyi ou te bay pèp ou a pou l' rele l' pa l' la.

Then hear thou from heaven, and forgive the sin of thy servants, and of thy people Israel, when thou hast taught them the good way, wherein they should walk; and send rain upon thy land, which thou hast given unto thy people for an inheritance.

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 dearth in the land, if there be pestilence, if there be blasting, or mildew, locusts, or caterpillers; if their enemies besiege them in the cities of their land; whatsoever sore or whatsoever sickness there be:

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,

Then what prayer or what supplication soever shall be made of any man, or of all thy people Israel, when every one shall know his own sore and his own grief, and shall spread forth his hands in this house:

tanpri, kote ou ye nan syèl kote ou rete a, koute lapriyè yo, padonnen yo. Bay chak moun sa yo merite, paske ou konnen sa ki nan kè yo. Se ou menm ki konnen sa ki nan fon kè moun.

Then hear thou from heaven thy dwelling place, and forgive, and render unto every man according unto all his ways, whose heart thou knowest; (for thou only knowest the hearts of the children of men:)

Wi, w'a bay chak moun sa yo merite, konsa pèp ou a va gen krentif pou ou, y'a mache nan chemen ou mete devan yo, pandan tout tan y'ap viv sou tè ou te bay zansèt nou yo.

That they may fear thee, to walk in thy ways, so long as they live in the land which thou gavest unto our fathers.

Menm lè yon moun lòt nasyon ki pa fè pati pèp ou a soti byen lwen vini poutèt ou, paske li tande jan n'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,

Moreover concerning the stranger, which is not of thy people Israel, but is come from a far country for thy great name's sake, and thy mighty hand, and thy stretched out arm; if they come and pray in this house;

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.

Then hear thou from the heavens, even from thy dwelling place, and do according to all that the stranger calleth to thee for; that all people of the earth may know thy name, and fear thee, as doth thy people Israel, and may know that this house which I have built is called by thy name.

Lè pèp ou a va soti al goumen kont 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 thy people go out to war against their enemies by the way that thou shalt send them, and they pray unto thee toward this city which thou hast chosen, and the house which I have built for thy name;

tanpri, nan syèl kote ou rete a, koute lapriyè yo. Koute lapriyè y'ap fè nan pye ou, defann kòz yo.

Then hear thou from the heavens their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.

Lè pèp ou a va peche kont ou, paske pa gen moun ki pa fè peche, lè w'a move sou yo, lè 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 thee, (for there is no man which sinneth not,) and thou be angry with them, and deliver them over before their enemies, and they carry them away captives unto a land far off or near;

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 bethink themselves in the land whither they are carried captive, and turn and pray unto thee in the land of their captivity, saying, We have sinned, we have done amiss, and have dealt wickedly;

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 ou,

If they return to thee with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their captivity, whither they have carried them captives, and pray toward their land, which thou gavest unto their fathers, and toward the city which thou hast chosen, and toward the house which I have built for thy name:

tanpri, koute lapriyè y'ap fè nan pye ou, kote ou ye nan syèl kote ou rete a. Koute lapriyè yo, defann kòz yo. Padonnen pèp ou a tout peche yo te fè kont ou yo.

Then hear thou from the heavens, even from thy dwelling place, their prayer and their supplications, and maintain their cause, and forgive thy people which have sinned against thee.

Koulye a, Bondye mwen, louvri je ou, koute lapriyè n'ap fè nan pye ou isit la.

Now, my God, let, I beseech thee, thine eyes be open, and let thine ears be attent unto the prayer that is made in this place.

Koulye a, leve non, Seyè, Bondye! Vin kote pou ou pran repo a! Vini non ansanm ak Bwat Kontra ou la ki fè wè jan ou gen pouvwa. Se pou prèt yo fè konnen jan ou bay pèp ou a delivrans! Se pou tout pèp ou a rele tèlman yo kontan!

Now therefore arise, O LORD God, into thy resting place, thou, and the ark of thy strength: let thy priests, O LORD God, be clothed with salvation, and let thy saints rejoice in goodness.

Poutèt pwomès ou te fè David, sèvitè ou la, tanpri, Seyè, pa vire do bay moun ou te chwazi a!

O LORD God, turn not away the face of thine anointed: remember the mercies of David thy servant.
