2 Chronicles 2
1 And Solomon purposed to build a house for the name of Jehovah, and a house for his kingdom.
Alò, Salomon te deside bati yon kay pou non SENYÈ a ak yon palè wayal pou pwòp tèt li.
2 And Solomon numbered seventy thousand men to bear burdens, and eighty thousand stone-masons in the mountain, and three thousand six hundred to superintend them.
Pou sa, Salomon te chwazi swasann-di-mil mesye pou pote chaj, katreven-mil mesye pou taye wòch nan mòn yo, e twa-mil-sis-san pou sipèvize.
3 And Solomon sent to Huram king of Tyre, saying, As thou didst deal with David my father, and didst send him cedars to build him a house to dwell therein [so do for me].
Salomon te voye kote Huram, wa Tyr la. Li te di: “Jan ou te aji avèk David la, papa m nan, Ou te voye ba li bwa sèd pou bati yon kay pou li ta rete ladann. Konsa, fè sa pou mwen.
4 Behold, I build a house unto the name of Jehovah my God to dedicate it to him, to burn before him sweet incense, and for the continual arrangement [of the shewbread], and for the morning and evening burnt-offerings [and] on the sabbaths and on the new moons, and on the set feasts of Jehovah our God. This is [an ordinance] for ever to Israel.
Gade byen, mwen prè pou bati yon kay pou non SENYÈ a, Bondye a, pou l dedye a Li menm, pou brile lansan santi bon devan L, pou plase pen konsakre tout tan e pou ofri ofrann brile ni nan maten, ni nan aswè, nan Saba avèk nouvèl lin ak nan fèt etabli a SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, sila kòm egzije jis pou tout tan an Israël.
5 And the house that I will build is great; for great is our God above all gods.
“Kay ke m prè pou bati a va tèlman gran; paske pi gran se Bondye pa nou an, ke tout lòt dye yo.
6 But who is able to build him a house, seeing the heavens and the heaven of heavens cannot contain him? And who am I that I should build him a house, except to burn sacrifice before him?
Men se kilès ki kab bati yon kay pou Li, paske syèl yo avèk pi wo syèl yo pa kab kenbe Li? Pou sa, se kilès mwen ye, pou mwen ta dwe bati yon kay pou Li, sof ke pou brile lansan devan L.
7 And now send me a man skilful to work in gold, and in silver, and in bronze, and in iron, and in purple and crimson and blue, and experienced in carving, besides the skilful men that are with me in Judah and in Jerusalem, whom David my father provided.
“Alò, voye ban mwen yon nonm abil pou travay an lò, ajan, bwonz, fè ak an twal mov, kramwazi, avèk vyolèt e yon nonm ki konn grave, pou travay avèk mesye kapab ke m genyen Juda avèk Jérusalem, ke papa m, David te chwazi yo.
8 Send me also cedar-trees, cypress-trees, and sandal-wood trees, out of Lebanon; for I know that thy servants are experienced in cutting timber in Lebanon; and behold, my servants shall be with thy servants,
“Anplis, voye ban mwen bwa sèd, bwa sipre, avèk bwa sandal; twòn yo k ap sòti nan Liban, paske mwen konnen ke sèvitè ou yo konnen jan pou yo koupe bwa Liban yo. Èpi anverite, sèvitè mwen yo va travay avèk sèvitè pa w yo,
9 even to prepare me timber in abundance: for the house that I build shall be great and wonderful.
pou prepare bwa konstriksyon pou mwen an gran kantite. Pwiske kay ke mwen prè pou bati a va yon gran mèvèy.
10 And behold, I will give to thy servants the hewers that fell timber, twenty thousand measures of beaten wheat, and twenty thousand measures of barley, and twenty thousand baths of wine, and twenty thousand baths of oil.
Alò, gade byen, mwen va bay a sèvitè ou yo, mesye forè ki koupe bwa konstriksyon yo, ven-mil barik ble kraze ven-mil barik lòj, ven-mil galon diven avèk ven-mil galon lwil.”
11 And Huram king of Tyre answered in writing, which he sent to Solomon, Because Jehovah loved his people, he made thee king over them.
Huram, wa Tyr la, te reponn nan yon lèt voye bay Salomon: “Akoz SENYÈ a renmen pèp Li a, Li te fè ou wa sou yo.”
12 And Huram said, Blessed be Jehovah the God of Israel, that made the heavens and the earth, who has given to David the king a wise son, endued with prudence and understanding, who will build a house for Jehovah and a house for his kingdom.
Konsa, Huram te kontinye: “Beni se SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la, ki te fè syèl la avèk tè a, ki te bay Wa David yon fis ki saj, plen avèk pridans, avèk bon konprann, ki va bati yon kay pou SENYÈ a, avèk yon palè wayal pou li menm.
13 And now, I send a skilful man, endued with understanding, Huram Abi,
“Alò, mwen ap voye Huramabi, yon nonm abil avèk anpil bon konprann,
14 the son of a woman of the daughters of Dan, and whose father was a man of Tyre, experienced in working in gold, and in silver, in bronze, in iron, in stone, and in timber, in purple, in blue, and in byssus, and in crimson, and for doing any manner of engraving, and for inventing every device which shall be put to him, besides thy skilful men, and the skilful men of my lord David thy father.
fis a yon fanm a Dan avèk yon papa a Tyriens, ki konnen jan pou travay an lò, ajan, bwonz, fè, wòch ak bwa; anplis, avèk twal mov, vyolèt, materyo wouj, pou fè tout kalite bagay grave yo, pou swiv nenpòt plan ke li resevwa, pou travay avèk mesye a kapasite pa w yo, avèk sila a mèt mwen, ak papa ou, David.
15 And now the wheat and the barley, the oil and the wine, which my lord hath spoken of, let him send unto his servants.
“Alò, pou sa, kite mèt mwen an voye kote sèvitè li yo ble avèk lòj, lwil ak diven sou sa li te pale yo.
16 And we will cut wood out of Lebanon, as much as thou shalt need; and we will bring it to thee [in] floats by sea to Joppa, and thou shalt carry it up to Jerusalem.
Nou va koupe nenpòt bwa konstriksyon ke ou bezwen soti nan Liban pou pote ba ou ranje mare ansanm sou lanmè pou rive Japho, pou ou kab pote l monte Jérusalem.”
17 And Solomon numbered all the strangers that were in the land of Israel, after the account that David his father had taken of them, and there were found a hundred and fifty-three thousand six hundred.
Salomon te fè kontwòl a tout etranje ki te nan peyi Israël yo, pou swiv gran kontwòl ke papa li, David te fè a; epi yo te jwenn san-senkant-twa-mil-sis-san moun.
18 And he set seventy thousand of them to be bearers of burdens, and eighty thousand to be stone-masons in the mountains, and three thousand six hundred overseers to set the people to work.
Li te chwazi swasann-di-mil nan yo pou pote chaj yo, katreven mil nan yo pou taye wòch nan mòn yo e twa-mil-sis-san sipèvizè pou fè moun yo travay.
