1 Kings 5
1 Now when Hiram king of Tyre heard that Solomon had been anointed king in his father’s place, he sent envoys to Solomon; for Hiram had always been a friend of David.
Iram, wa peyi Tir, te toujou yon bon zanmi wa David. Lè li vin konnen se Salomon ki te vin moute wa nan plas David, papa l', li voye kèk chèf bò kote l'.
2 And Solomon relayed this message to Hiram:
Salomon ba yo mesaj sa a pou yo pote bay Iram:
3 “As you are well aware, due to the wars waged on all sides against my father David, he could not build a house for the Name of the LORD his God until the LORD had put his enemies under his feet.
-Ou konnen ak lagè David, papa m', te genyen ak peyi ki toupre l' yo, li pa t' kapab bati yon kay kote pou yo adore Seyè a, Bondye li a, toutotan Seyè a pa t' fè l' kraze lènmi l' yo anba pye l'.
4 But now the LORD my God has given me rest on every side, and there is no adversary or crisis.
Men koulye a, Seyè a, Bondye mwen an, ban m' lapè sou tout fwontyè yo. Mwen pa gen moun pou chache m' kont, ni moun pou fè m' move kou.
5 So behold, I plan to build a house for the Name of the LORD my God, according to what the LORD said to my father David: ‘I will put your son on your throne in your place, and he will build the house for My Name.’
Seyè a te fè David, papa m', pwomès sa a: Se pitit gason ou m'ap mete wa nan plas ou a k'ap bati yon kay pou mwen. Enben, koulye a, mwen fè lide bati yon kay pou Seyè a, Bondye mwen an.
6 Now therefore, order that cedars of Lebanon be cut down for me. My servants will be with your servants, and I will pay your servants whatever wages you set, for you know that there are none among us as skilled in logging as the Sidonians.”
Ou menm, ou pral bay lòd pou yo koupe kèk pye sèd pou mwen nan peyi Liban. Moun pa m' yo va travay ansanm ak moun pa ou yo. m'a peye mesye ou yo jan wa vle l' la. Ou konnen pa gen moun nan peyi m' ki ka koupe bwa tankou moun Sidon yo.
7 When Hiram received Solomon’s message, he rejoiced greatly and said, “Blessed be the LORD this day! He has given David a wise son over this great people!”
Lè Iram resevwa mesaj Salomon an, sa te fè l' plezi anpil. Li di: -Lwanj jòdi a pou Seyè a ki bay David yon pitit gason ak bon konprann konsa pou gouvènen sou gwo pèp sa a!
8 Then Hiram sent a reply to Solomon, saying: “I have received your message; I will do all you desire regarding the cedar and cypress timber.
Apre sa, Iram voye di Salomon: -Mwen resevwa mesaj ou a. M'ap fè tou sa ou mande m' fè pou bwa sèd ak bwa pichpen yo.
9 My servants will haul the logs from Lebanon to the Sea, and I will float them as rafts by sea to the place you specify. There I will separate the logs, and you can take them away. And in exchange, you can meet my needs by providing my household with food.”
Moun pa m' yo va pote madriye yo desann soti peyi Liban jouk bò lanmè. Lè y'a rive la, m'a fè yo mare madriye yo fè rado, y'a pouse yo sou lanmè a rive jouk kote w'a chwazi sou kòt la. Rive la, moun pa m' yo va demare madriye yo. Lè sa a, w'a fè moun pa ou yo fè rès travay la. Ou menm, w'a ban m' pwovizyon pou moun pa m' yo.
10 So Hiram provided Solomon with all the cedar and cypress timber he wanted,
Se konsa Iram bay Salomon tout madriye sèd ak madriye pichpen li te bezwen.
11 and year after year Solomon would provide Hiram with 20,000 cors of wheat as food for his household, as well as 20,000 baths of pure olive oil.
Salomon menm, bò pa l', bay Iram sanmil (100.000) barik ble ak sandimil (110.000) galon lwil oliv chak lanne pou l' bay moun li yo manje.
12 And the LORD gave Solomon wisdom, as He had promised him. There was peace between Hiram and Solomon, and the two of them made a treaty.
Seyè a kenbe pwomès li. Li bay Salomon anpil bon konprann. Te gen bon antann ant Iram ak Salomon. Yo siyen yon kontra yonn ak lòt.
13 Then King Solomon conscripted a labor force of 30,000 men from all Israel.
wa Salomon fè ranmase trantmil (30.000) moun nan tout peyi Izrayèl la pou fè kòve.
14 He sent them to Lebanon in monthly shifts of 10,000 men, so that they would spend one month in Lebanon and two months at home. And Adoniram was in charge of the forced labor.
Li te mete Adoniram reskonsab kòve a. Li separe mesye yo fè twa gwoup, ak dimil (10.000) moun nan chak. Chak gwoup pase yon mwa nan peyi Liban, de mwa lakay yo. Chak fwa yon gwoup tounen, yon lòt al pran plas li.
15 Solomon had 70,000 porters and 80,000 stonecutters in the mountains,
Salomon te gen katrevenmil (80.000) moun ap taye wòch nan min wòch, ak swasanndimil (70.000) moun pou pote yo lavil Jerizalèm,
16 not including his 3,300 foremen who supervised the workers.
san konte twamil twasan (3.300) fòmann gouvènè yo te nonmen alatèt mesye sa yo pou kontwole travay yo.
17 And the king commanded them to quarry large, costly stones to lay the foundation of the temple with dressed stones.
Wa Salomon te bay lòd pou yo taye kèk gwo blòk nan bèl wòch pou sèvi fondasyon kay la.
18 So Solomon’s and Hiram’s builders, along with the Gebalites, quarried the stone and prepared the timber and stone for the construction of the temple.
Se konsa bòs mason Salomon yo ak bòs mason Iram yo ansanm ak mesye lavil Gebal yo te pare blòk wòch ak bwa pou bati Tanp lan.
