1 Istwa 29
Haitian Creole Version
29 ¶ Lèfini, David pale ak tout moun ki te sanble la yo, li di yo konsa: -Salomon, pitit gason m' lan, se li menm Bondye chwazi, men li jenn anpil, li pa gen esperyans. Travay la anpil, paske se pa yon kay pou moun li pral bati, men yon tanp pou Bondye, Seyè a.
2 Mwen fè sa m' te kapab pou m' te pare materyo pou tanp lan: lò, ajan, kwiv, fè, bwa, bèl pyè oniks, bèl pyè pou sèvi ganiti, pyè malachit ak tout kalite lòt koulè, tout kalite bèl pyè koute chè ak mab an kantite.
3 Men, pou mete sou tou sa mwen pare pou kay n'ap mete apa pou Seyè a, mwen pran lò ak ajan mwen te genyen, mwen bay tout paske mwen renmen kay Bondye a anpil:
4 sanmil (100.000) kilo bon lò ki soti nan peyi Ofi, ak desantrant (230) kilo bon ajan pou dekore miray Tanp lan,
5 pou fè tout bèl bagay an lò osinon an ajan bòs atizan yo gen pou fè. Koulye a, kilès ankò ki vle bay ak tout kè li pou Bondye?
6 Lè sa a, chèf branch fanmi yo, chèf chak fanmi pèp Izrayèl la, tout chèf rejiman mil sòlda yo ak chèf divizyon san sòlda yo, ak tout jeran ki t'ap travay pou wa a, fè kado yo te vle fè.
7 Yo bay sanswasannsenk (165) kilo lò, twasantrantmil (330.000) kilo ajan, sètsanmil (700.000) kilo kwiv konsa, ak twa milyon twasanmil (3,300.000) kilo fè pou travay Tanp lan.
8 Sa ki te gen bèl pyè koute chè bay yo pou trezò Tanp lan ki te sou kont Jeyèl, yon moun Levi nan fanmi Gèchon an.
9 Pèp la menm te kontan bay sa yo t'ap bay pou Seyè a paske yo te fè l' ak tout kè yo. Wa David tou te kontan anpil.
10 ¶ Lè sa a, David fè lwanj Bondye devan tout pèp la ki te reyini. Li di konsa: -Lwanj pou ou, Seyè a, Bondye Izrayèl, papa nou, depi tout tan ak pou tout tan!
11 Seyè, ou gen pouvwa, ou gen kouraj! Se pou ou tout lwanj. W'ap donminen sou tout bagay pou tout tan. Tou sa ki nan syèl la ak sou latè a se pou ou yo ye. Se ou menm Seyè ki sel wa, paske ou sèl chèf sou tout bagay.
12 Se nan men ou tout richès ak tout byen soti. Ou gouvènen tout bagay avèk fòs ponyèt ou ak pouvwa ou. Se ou menm ki bay tout moun pouvwa ak fòs.
13 Koulye a, Bondye nou, nou di ou mèsi. N'ap fè lwanj pou ou sitèlman ou gen pouvwa.
14 Men, kisa m' ye, kisa pèp mwen an ye menm, pou m' ta kapab ofri ou tout bagay sa yo ak tout kè nou? Se nan men ou tout bagay sa yo soti, se nan sa nou resevwa nan men ou n'ap ba ou.
15 Seyè, ou konnen, devan ou se pase n'ap pase tankou moun k'ap vizite, menm jan ak tout zansèt nou yo. Lavi nou sou latè tankou yon nwaj k'ap pase. Wè pa wè fòk nou mouri.
16 Seyè, Bondye nou, nou pare tout richès sa yo pou bati yon kay pou ou, ou menm ki yon Bondye apa. Men, se nan men ou yo tout yo soti, se pou ou yo tout ye.
17 Mwen konnen, Bondye mwen, ou sonde kè tout moun, ou kontan ak moun ki mache dwat. Se poutèt sa, ak tout kè mwen, mwen ofri ou tout bagay sa yo. Koulye a mwen wè jan pèp ou a ki sanble isit la, kontan pou yo pote ofrann pa yo pou ou tou ak tout kè yo.
18 Seyè, Mèt, Bondye Abraram, Bondye Izarak ak Bondye Izrayèl, Bondye zansèt nou yo, tanpri, fè pèp ou a pa janm pèdi bon santiman sa yo ki nan kè yo jòdi a.
19 Tanpri, bay Salomon, pitit gason m' lan, bon santiman tou pou li renmen ou nèt ale, pou li ka mache dapre lòd, regleman ak kòmandman ou yo nan tou sa l'ap fè, pou l' ka bati Tanp lan avèk tout materio mwen fin pare yo.
20 Apre sa David pale ankò ak tout pèp la ki te reyini, li di yo: -Annou fè lwanj pou Seyè a, Bondye nou an! Tout pèp la nèt pran fè lwanj Seyè a, Bondye zansèt yo. Yo mete jenou yo atè, yo bese tèt yo byen ba devan Seyè a ak devan wa a.
21 Nan denmen, yo ofri bèt pou yo touye pou Seyè a, yo boule kèk bèt nèt pou Seyè a: antou mil (1.000) ti towo bèf, mil (1.000) belye mouton, mil (1.000) jenn ti mouton ak ofrann diven ki fèt pou mache ak yo. Yo touye yon pakèt lòt bèt yo tè ofri bay Bondye pou pèp Izrayèl la.
22 Jou sa a, yo manje, yo bwè ak gwo kè kontan dèvan Seyè a. Apre sa yon dezyèm fwa, yo fè deklarasyon yo rekonèt Salomon, pitit David la, pou wa yo. Yo fè sèvis mete l' apa pou l' chèf yo nan non Seyè a. Menm lè a, yo mete Zadòk apa pou l' sèvi granprèt nan non Seyè a tou.
23 ¶ Se konsa Salomon pran plas David, papa l', sou fotèy gouvènman Seyè a te tabli a. Tout zafè l' te mache byen. Tout pèp Izrayèl la te obeyi l'.
24 Tout chèf yo, tout sòlda yo ansanm ak tout lòt pitit David yo te rekonèt Salomon pou sèl chèf yo.
25 Seyè a te bay Salomon yon bèl pozisyon devan pèp la. Li te fè gouvènman Salomon an kanpe fèm ak yon pouvwa ankenn lòt wa nan peyi Izrayèl la pa t' janm genyen anvan sa.
26 David, pitit gason Izayi a, te gouvènen tout peyi Izrayèl la.
27 Li pase karantan ap gouvènen pèp Izrayèl la. Pandan sètan li te rete lavil Ebwon. Pandan rès tranntwazan yo, li te rete lavil Jerizalèm.
28 Lè li mouri, li te granmoun anpil, men kè li te kontan. Li te gen anpil richès. Tout moun t'ap fè lwanj pou li. Se Salomon, pitit gason l' lan, ki moute wa nan plas li.
29 Se nan liv istwa pwofèt Samyèl, liv istwa pwofèt Natan ak liv istwa pwofèt Gad nou jwenn istwa tou sa David te fè depi nan konmansman jouk li mouri.
30 Liv sa yo fè nou konnen jan li te gouvènen, jan li te yon vanyan gason, ansanm ak tou sa ki te rive l', tou sa ki pase nan peyi Izrayèl la ak nan lòt peyi yo tou.
1 Chronicles 29
English Standard Version
Offerings for the Temple
29 And David the king said to all the assembly, “Solomon my son, whom alone God has chosen, is (A)young and inexperienced, and the work is great, for (B)the palace will not be for man but for the Lord God. 2 So I have provided for the house of my God, so far as I was able, the gold for the things of gold, the silver for the things of silver, and the bronze for the things of bronze, the iron for the things of iron, and wood for the things of wood, besides great quantities of (C)onyx and stones for setting, antimony, colored stones, all sorts of precious stones and marble. 3 Moreover, in addition to all that I have provided for the holy house, I have a treasure of my own of gold and silver, and because of my devotion to the house of my God I give it to the house of my God: 4 (D)3,000 talents[a] of gold, of the gold of (E)Ophir, and 7,000 talents of refined silver, for overlaying the walls of the house,[b] 5 and for all the work to be done by craftsmen, gold for the things of gold and silver for the things of silver. Who then will offer willingly, consecrating himself[c] today to the Lord?”
6 Then (F)the leaders of fathers' houses made their freewill offerings, as did also the leaders of the tribes, the commanders of thousands and of hundreds, and (G)the officers over the king's work. 7 They gave for the service of the house of God 5,000 talents and 10,000 (H)darics[d] of gold, 10,000 talents of silver, 18,000 talents of bronze and 100,000 talents of iron. 8 And whoever had precious stones gave them to the treasury of the house of the Lord, in the care of (I)Jehiel the Gershonite. 9 Then the people rejoiced because they had given willingly, for with a (J)whole heart they had offered freely to the Lord. David the king also rejoiced greatly.
David Prays in the Assembly
10 Therefore David blessed the Lord in the presence of all the assembly. And David said: (K)“Blessed are you, O Lord, the God of Israel our father, forever and ever. 11 (L)Yours, O Lord, is the greatness and the power and the glory and the victory and the majesty, for all that is in the heavens and in the earth is yours. Yours is the kingdom, O Lord, and you are exalted as head above all. 12 (M)Both riches and honor come from you, and you rule over all. (N)In your hand are power and might, and in your hand it is to make great and to give strength to all. 13 And now we thank you, our God, and praise your glorious name.
14 “But who am I, and what is my people, that we should be able thus to offer willingly? For all things come from you, and of your own have we given you. 15 (O)For we are strangers before you and sojourners, as all our fathers were. Our days on the earth are (P)like a shadow, and there is no abiding.[e] 16 O Lord our God, all this abundance that we have provided for building you a house for your holy name comes from your hand and is all your own. 17 I know, my God, (Q)that you test the heart and (R)have pleasure in uprightness. In the uprightness of my heart I have freely offered all these things, and now I have seen your people, who are present here, offering freely and joyously to you. 18 O Lord, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, our fathers, keep forever such purposes and thoughts in the hearts of your people, and direct their hearts toward you. 19 (S)Grant to Solomon my son a whole heart that he may keep your commandments, your testimonies, and your statutes, performing all, and that he may (T)build the palace (U)for which I have made provision.”
20 Then David said to all the assembly, (V)“Bless the Lord your God.” And all the assembly blessed the Lord, the God of their fathers, (W)and bowed their heads and paid homage to the Lord and to the king. 21 And they offered sacrifices to the Lord, and on the next day offered burnt offerings to the Lord, 1,000 bulls, 1,000 rams, and 1,000 lambs, with their (X)drink offerings, and sacrifices in abundance for all Israel. 22 And they ate and drank before the Lord on that day with great gladness.
Solomon Anointed King
And they made Solomon the son of David king (Y)the second time, and they (Z)anointed him as prince for the Lord, and (AA)Zadok as priest.
23 (AB)Then Solomon sat on the (AC)throne of the Lord as king in place of David his father. And he prospered, and all Israel obeyed him. 24 All the leaders and the mighty men, and also all the sons of King David, pledged their allegiance to King Solomon. 25 And the Lord made Solomon very (AD)great in the sight of all Israel and (AE)bestowed on him such royal majesty as had not been on any king before him in Israel.
The Death of David
26 Thus David the son of Jesse reigned over all Israel. 27 The (AF)time that he reigned over Israel was forty years. He reigned seven years in Hebron and thirty-three years in Jerusalem. 28 Then he died (AG)at a good age, (AH)full of days, riches, and honor. And Solomon his son reigned in his place. 29 Now the acts of King David, from first to last, are written in the Chronicles (AI)of Samuel the seer, and in the Chronicles of (AJ)Nathan the prophet, and in the Chronicles of (AK)Gad the seer, 30 with accounts of all his rule and his might and of the circumstances (AL)that came upon him and upon Israel and upon all the kingdoms of the countries.

Offerings for Building the Temple
29 Furthermore King David said to all the assembly: “My son Solomon, whom alone God has (A)chosen, is (B)young and inexperienced; and the work is great, because the [a]temple is not for man but for the Lord God. 2 Now for the house of my God I have prepared with all my might: gold for things to be made of gold, silver for things of silver, bronze for things of bronze, iron for things of iron, wood for things of wood, (C)onyx stones, stones to be set, glistening stones of various colors, all kinds of precious stones, and marble slabs in abundance. 3 Moreover, because I have set my affection on the house of my God, I have given to the house of my God, over and above all that I have prepared for the holy house, my own special treasure of gold and silver: 4 three thousand talents of gold, of the gold of (D)Ophir, and seven thousand talents of refined silver, to overlay the walls of the houses; 5 the gold for things of gold and the silver for things of silver, and for all kinds of work to be done by the hands of craftsmen. Who then is (E)willing to [b]consecrate himself this day to the Lord?”
6 Then (F)the leaders of the fathers’ houses, leaders of the tribes of Israel, the captains of thousands and of hundreds, with (G)the officers over the king’s work, (H)offered willingly. 7 They gave for the work of the house of God five thousand talents and ten thousand darics of gold, ten thousand talents of silver, eighteen thousand talents of bronze, and one hundred thousand talents of iron. 8 And whoever had precious stones gave them to the treasury of the house of the Lord, into the hand of (I)Jehiel[c] the Gershonite. 9 Then the people rejoiced, for they had offered willingly, because with a loyal heart they had (J)offered willingly to the Lord; and King David also rejoiced greatly.
David’s Praise to God
10 Therefore David blessed the Lord before all the assembly; and David said:
“Blessed are You, Lord God of Israel, our Father, forever and ever.
11 (K)Yours, O Lord, is the greatness,
The power and the glory,
The victory and the majesty;
For all that is in heaven and in earth is Yours;
Yours is the kingdom, O Lord,
And You are exalted as head over all.
12 (L)Both riches and honor come from You,
And You reign over all.
In Your hand is power and might;
In Your hand it is to make great
And to give strength to all.
13 “Now therefore, our God,
We thank You
And praise Your glorious name.
14 But who am I, and who are my people,
That we should be able to offer so willingly as this?
For all things come from You,
And [d]of Your own we have given You.
15 For (M)we are [e]aliens and [f]pilgrims before You,
As were all our fathers;
(N)Our days on earth are as a shadow,
And without hope.
16 “O Lord our God, all this abundance that we have prepared to build You a house for Your holy name is from Your hand, and is all Your own. 17 I know also, my God, that You (O)test the heart and (P)have pleasure in uprightness. As for me, in the uprightness of my heart I have willingly offered all these things; and now with joy I have seen Your people, who are present here to offer willingly to You. 18 O Lord God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, our fathers, keep this forever in the intent of the thoughts of the heart of Your people, and fix their heart toward You. 19 And (Q)give my son Solomon a loyal heart to keep Your commandments and Your testimonies and Your statutes, to do all these things, and to build the [g]temple for which (R)I have made provision.”
20 Then David said to all the assembly, “Now bless the Lord your God.” So all the assembly blessed the Lord God of their fathers, and bowed their heads and prostrated themselves before the Lord and the king.
Solomon Anointed King(S)
21 And they made sacrifices to the Lord and offered burnt offerings to the Lord on the next day: a thousand bulls, a thousand rams, a thousand lambs, with their drink offerings, and (T)sacrifices in abundance for all Israel. 22 So they ate and drank before the Lord with great gladness on that day. And they made Solomon the son of David king the second time, and (U)anointed him before the Lord to be the leader, and Zadok to be priest. 23 Then Solomon sat on the throne of the Lord as king instead of David his father, and prospered; and all Israel obeyed him. 24 All the leaders and the mighty men, and also all the sons of King David, (V)submitted[h] themselves to King Solomon. 25 So the Lord exalted Solomon exceedingly in the sight of all Israel, and (W)bestowed on him such royal majesty as had not been on any king before him in Israel.
The Close of David’s Reign
26 Thus David the son of Jesse reigned over all Israel. 27 (X)And the period that he reigned over Israel was forty years; (Y)seven years he reigned in Hebron, and thirty-three years he reigned in Jerusalem. 28 So he (Z)died in a good old age, (AA)full of days and riches and honor; and Solomon his son reigned in his place. 29 Now the acts of King David, first and last, indeed they are written in the [i]book of Samuel the seer, in the book of Nathan the prophet, and in the book of Gad the seer, 30 with all his reign and his might, (AB)and the events that happened to him, to Israel, and to all the kingdoms of the lands.
