2 Chronicles 8
1 Now at the end of the twenty years during which Solomon had built the house of the LORD and his own palace,
Wa Salomon te pran ventan pou l' bati kay Seyè a ak kay pa li a.
2 Solomon rebuilt the cities Hiram had given him and settled Israelites there.
Li rebati tout lavil wa Iram te ba li, li voye moun pèp Izrayèl al rete ladan yo.
3 Then Solomon went to Hamath-zobah and captured it.
Apre sa, li al atake lavil Amat nan Zoba, li pran li.
4 He built Tadmor in the wilderness, in addition to all the store cities that he had built in Hamath.
Li rebati lavil Tadmò nan dezè a ansanm ak tout lavil nan zòn Amat la pou sevi depo pwovizyon.
5 He rebuilt Upper and Lower Beth-horon as fortified cities with walls, gates, and bars,
Salomon rebati Bètowon anwo ak Bètowon anba, li byen pwoteje yo ak miray ranpa, gwo pòtay ak ba pou fèmen yo.
6 as well as Baalath, all the store cities that belonged to Solomon, and all the cities for his chariots and horses —whatever he desired to build in Jerusalem, Lebanon, and throughout the land of his dominion.
Li rebati lavil Balat, tout lavil kote li te fè depo pwovizyon, tout lavil kote yo te gade chwal li yo ansanm ak cha lagè yo. Li bati tou sa li te fè lide bati nan lavil Jerizalèm, nan peyi Liban ak nan tout lòt peyi ki te sou zòd li yo.
7 As for all the people who remained of the Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites (the people who were not Israelites)—

8 their descendants who remained in the land, those whom the Israelites were unable to destroy—Solomon conscripted these people to be forced laborers, as they are to this day.
Lè moun Izrayèl yo te fin pran peyi Kanaran an pou yo, gen anpil nan moun ansyen mèt peyi a yo pa t' touye. Yo te kite yo rete nan peyi a. Te gen moun Amori, moun Et, moun Ferezi, moun Iva ak moun Jebis. Se pitit moun sa yo Salomon te pran sèvi esklav pou fè kòve. Se sa k'ap fèt jouk jounen jòdi a.
9 But Solomon did not consign any of the Israelites to slave labor, because they were his men of war, his officers and captains, and the commanders of his chariots and cavalry.
Salomon pa t' fè ankenn moun nan pèp Izrayèl la sèvi esklav. Li te fè yo sèvi sòlda, ofisye, chèf, kaptenn ak kòmandan cha lagè yo ak kavalye yo.
10 They were also the chief officers for King Solomon: 250 supervisors.
Te gen desansenkant (250) moun gouvènè yo te chwazi pou sèvi fòmann. Se yo ki te reskonsab kontwole tout travay ki t'ap fèt yo.
11 Solomon brought the daughter of Pharaoh up from the City of David to the palace he had built for her. For he said, “My wife must not live in the house of David king of Israel, because the places the ark of the LORD has entered are holy.”
Salomon fè madanm li, pitit fi farawon an, kite lavil David, al rete nan kay li te bati pou li a. Li t'ap di nan kè l': Ata madanm mwen pa gen dwa rete nan kay David, wa peyi Izrayèl la, paske tout kote Bwat Kontra Seyè a te pase se kote ki fèt pou rete apa pou Bondye.
12 At that time Solomon offered burnt offerings to the LORD on the altar of the LORD he had built in front of the portico.
Salomon te ofri bèt pou yo boule nèt pou Bondye sou lotèl li te fè bati pou Seyè a devan Tanp lan.
13 He observed the daily requirement for offerings according to the commandment of Moses for Sabbaths, New Moons, and the three annual appointed feasts—the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Feast of Weeks, and the Feast of Tabernacles.
Li ofri bèt pou yo boule nèt pou Seyè a, dapre lòd Moyiz te bay nan lalwa a pou chak jou fèt: pou jou repo yo, pou jou lalin nouvèl yo, ak pou twa gwo fèt yo fete chak lanne yo, ki vle di: Fèt Pen san ledven yo, Fèt Rekòt yo ak Fèt Joupa yo.
14 In keeping with the ordinances of his father David, Solomon appointed the divisions of the priests over their service, and the Levites for their duties to offer praise and to minister before the priests according to the daily requirement. He also appointed gatekeepers by their divisions at each gate, for this had been the command of David, the man of God.
Dapre regleman David, papa l', te bay, li mete chak gwoup nan travay pa yo, prèt yo pou fè sèvis pou Bondye, moun Levi yo pou fè lwanj Seyè a epi pou ede prèt yo nan travay yo dapre sa ki pou fèt chak jou fèt yo. Li bay chak gwoup gad pòtay Tanp lan lè travay yo nan chak pòtay, dapre lòd David, moun Bondye a, te kite.
15 They did not turn aside from the king’s command regarding the priests or the Levites or any matter concerning the treasuries.
Se konsa, yo te swiv tout ti detay ki nan lòd wa David te bay pou prèt yo ak pou moun Levi yo, ata lòd li te bay pou trezò Tanp lan.
16 Thus all the work of Solomon was carried out, from the day the foundation was laid for the house of the LORD until it was finished. So the house of the LORD was completed.
Se konsa tout travay Salomon te vle fè a te fin fèt, depi jou yo t'ap fouye fondasyon Tanp Seyè a jouk yo fini l'. Tanp Seyè a pa t' manke anyen ankò pou l' fini.
17 Then Solomon went to Ezion-geber and to Eloth on the coast of Edom.
Apre sa, Salomon ale lavil Ezyongebè ak lavil Elat bò Lanmè Wouj la, nan pòsyon tè ki pou moun Edon yo.
18 So Hiram sent him ships captained by his servants, along with crews of experienced sailors. They went with Solomon’s servants to Ophir and acquired from there 450 talents of gold, which they delivered to King Solomon.
Wa Iram te voye batiman ansanm ak moun peyi l' ki te konn lanmè bay Salomon pou sèvi ansanm ak moun Salomon yo sou batiman yo. Se chèf ki t'ap sèvi nan gouvènman Iram yo ki te vin renmèt batiman yo. Maren Iram yo vwayaje ansanm ak moun pa Salomon yo rive peyi Ofi, kote yo al chache trèz tòn lò pote bay Salomon.
