2 Chronicles 1
1 And Solomon the son of David was strengthened in his kingdom, and Jehovah his God was with him and magnified him exceedingly.
Salomon, pitit gason wa David la, chita otorite gouvènman l'. Seyè a, Bondye li a, te kanpe la avè l', li te ba li anpil pouvwa.
2 And Solomon spoke to all Israel, to the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and to the judges, and to all the princes of all Israel, the chief fathers;
Wa Salomon fè rele tout pèp Izrayèl la, kòmandan rejiman mil sòlda yo, kòmandan divizyon san sòlda yo, jij yo, tout anplwaye gouvènman an ak tout chèf fanmi yo.
3 and Solomon, and all the congregation with him, went to the high place at Gibeon; for there was God's tent of meeting which Moses the servant of Jehovah had made in the wilderness.
Li ba yo lòd pou yo ale avè l' kote yo fè sèvis pou Bondye lavil Gabawon an, paske se la Tanp Randevou Bondye a te ye, tant Moyiz, sèvitè Seyè a, te fè lè yo te nan dezè a.
4 But the ark of God had David brought up from Kirjath-jearim to the [place] that David had prepared for it; for he had spread a tent for it at Jerusalem.
Men, David te fè yo pran Bwat Kontra a lavil Kiriyat-Jearim pou yo pote l' moute lavil Jerizalèm. Depi lè sa a, li te anba yon tant wa David te fè pou li.
5 And the brazen altar that Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, was there before the tabernacle of Jehovah; and Solomon and the congregation sought unto it.
Gwo lotèl kwiv Bezaleyèl, pitit Ouri, pitit pitit Our la, te fè a te lavil Gabawon tou devan Tant Randevou Seyè a. Se la wa Salomon ak tout pèp la vin pale ak Seyè a.
6 And Solomon offered there upon the brazen altar before Jehovah which was at the tent of meeting; and he offered up a thousand burnt-offerings upon it.
Devan Tant Randevou Seyè a, Salomon moute sou lotèl kwiv la, li touye mil bèt li fè boule nèt sou lotèl la.
7 In that night God appeared to Solomon, and said to him, Ask what I shall give thee.
Jou lannwit sa a, Bondye parèt devan Salomon, li di l' konsa: -Mande m' sa ou vle, m'ap ba ou li.
8 And Solomon said to God, Thou hast shewn unto David my father great loving-kindness, and hast made me king in his stead.
Salomon reponn li: -Ou te toujou moutre jan ou te renmen David, papa m', sèvitè ou la, anpil. Koulye a, se mwen menm ou mete nan plas li pou gouvènen.
9 Now, Jehovah Elohim, let thy word unto David my father be firm; for thou hast made me king over a people numerous as the dust of the earth.
O Seyè, Bondye, kenbe pwomès ou te fè papa m' lan! Ou mete m' wa pou m' gouvènen yon pèp ki gen anpil anpil moun ladan l'. Yo pi plis pase grenn pousyè tè.
10 Give me now wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people; for who can judge this thy great people?
Se poutèt sa, ban mwen konesans ak bon konprann pou m' ka gouvènen pèp sa a. Si se pa sa, mwen pa wè ki jan m'a fè pou m' gouvènen pèp ou a ak tout moun sa yo ladan l'.
11 And God said to Solomon, Because this was in thy heart, and thou hast not asked riches, wealth, or honour, nor the life of them that hate thee, neither yet hast asked long life; but hast asked for thyself wisdom and knowledge, that thou mayest judge my people, over whom I have made thee king:
Bondye reponn Salomon: -Depi se sa ou wè ou ta renmen genyen! Ou pa mande m' ni richès, ni byen, ni lwanj pou ou. Ou pa mande m' lanmò pou lènmi ou yo, ni ou pa mande m' pou ou sa viv lontan. Ou annik mande m' konesans ak bon konprann pou ou ka kondi pèp mwen an, pèp mwen mete ou gouvènen an.
12 wisdom and knowledge are granted unto thee; and I will give thee riches and wealth and honour, such as none of the kings have had that have been before thee, neither shall any after thee have the like.
M'ap ba ou konesans ak bon konprann. Men an plis, m'ap ba ou richès, byen ak lwanj pase tout wa ki te la anvan ou, pase tout wa ki va vin apre ou.
13 Then Solomon came back [from] the high place at Gibeon to Jerusalem, from before the tent of meeting, and reigned over Israel.
Apre sa, Salomon kite kote yo konn fè sèvis pou Bondye lavil Gabawon an, kote Tant Randevou a te ye a, li tounen lavil Jerizalèm. Se la li gouvènen pèp Izrayèl la.
14 And Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen; and he had a thousand four hundred chariots and twelve thousand horsemen; and he placed them in the chariot-cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.
Li te sanble milkatsan (1.400) cha lagè ak douzmil (12.000) chwal pou sòlda kavalye li yo. Li mete yon pòsyon ladan yo nan lavil li te fè bati espre pou yo. Rès yo, li mete yo toupre l' lavil Jerizalèm.
15 And the king made silver and gold in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars made he as the sycamores that are in the lowland for abundance.
Pandan tout rèy li, ajan ak lò te tankou wòch lavil Jerizalèm. Bwa sèd menm, ou te jwenn sa an kantite tankou pye sikomò nan rakbwa ki nan plenn peyi Jida yo.
16 And the exportation of horses that Solomon had was from Egypt: a caravan of the king's merchants fetched a drove [of horses], at a price.
Chwal Salomon yo te soti nan peyi Moukri ak nan peyi Silisi. Wa a te gen moun pa l' ki te konn al achte chwal yo la pou li.
17 And they fetched up and brought forth out of Egypt a chariot for six hundred [shekels] of silver, and a horse for a hundred and fifty; and so they brought [them] by their means, for all the kings of the Hittites and for the kings of Syria.
Chak cha lagè yo te achte nan peyi Lejip te koute sisan (600) pyès ajan, chak chwal te koute sansenkant (150) pyès ajan. Se menm moun sa yo ki te konn al achte pou revann wa peyi Et yo ak wa peyi Siri yo.
