2 Chronicles 2
1 And Solomon determined to build a house to the name of the Lord, and a palace for himself.
Wa Salomon te deside bati yon kay kote pou yo fè sèvis pou Seyè a, ansanm ak yon palè pou l' rete.
2 And he numbered out seventy thousand men to bear burdens, and eighty thousand to hew stones in the mountains, and three thousand six hundred to oversee them.
Li mete swasanndimil (70.000) moun ap travay pote materyo, katrevenmil (80.000) moun ap taye wòch nan mòn. Te gen twamilsisan (3.600) moun reskonsab kontwole travay la.
3 He sent also to Hiram king of Tyre, saying: As thou didst with David my father, and didst send him cedars, to build him a house, in which he dwelt:
Salomon voye misyon bay Iram, wa lavil Tir. Li di l': -Annou fè zafè yonn ak lòt tankou ou te fè avèk wa David, papa m', lè ou te vann li madriye sèd pou l' te bati yon kay pou l' rete.
4 So do with me that I may build a house to the name of the Lord my God, to dedicate it to burn incense before him, and to perfume with aromatical spices, and for the continual setting forth of bread, and for the holocausts, morning and evening, and on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and the solemnities of the Lord our God for ever, which are commanded for Israel.
Mwen pral bati yon tanp pou Seyè a, Bondye mwen an. Se pral yon kay n'ap mete apa pou li, kote n'a boule lansan pou li, kote n'a toujou mete devan l' pen y'ap ofri l' yo, kote chak maten chak aswè y'a ofri bèt pou yo boule nèt pou li lè jou repo yo, lè lalin nouvèl, ak lè lòt fèt nou fete pou Seyè a, Bondye nou an, jan li te bay pou yo toujou fè l' nan peyi Izrayèl.
5 For the house which I desire to build, is great: for our God is great above all gods.
Men, se pou tanp mwen pral bati a gwo anpil, paske Bondye nou an gen plis pouvwa pase tout lòt bondye yo.
6 Who then can be able to build him a worthy house? if heaven, and the heavens of heavens cannot contain him: who am I that I should be able to build him a house? but to this end only, that incense may be burnt before him.
Lèfini, ki moun ki ka rive bati yon kay vre pou Bondye, si syèl la, atout li gwo a, twò piti pou li? Mwen menm, kisa m' ye pou m' ta bati yon kay pou li? Se annik yon kote pou m' boule lansan pou li m'ap fè.
7 Send me therefore a skillful man, that knoweth how to work in gold, and in silver, in brass, and in iron, in purple, in scarlet and in blue, and that hath skill in engraving, with the artificers, which I have with me in Judea and Jerusalem, whom David my father provided.
Se konsa, voye ban mwen yon bòs ki gen ladrès pou travay lò, ajan, kwiv, fè, yon bòs ki konn koupe twal ble, twal violèt ak twal wouj, bòs ki konn travay bwa ak wòch tou. L'a travay ansanm ak bòs atizan mwen gen avè m' nan peyi Jida ak lavil Jerizalèm yo, moun David, papa m', te chwazi pou sa.
8 Send me also cedars, and fir trees, and pine trees from Libanus: for I know that thy servants are skillful in cutting timber in Libanus, and my servants shall be with thy servants,
W'a voye ban mwen madriye sèd, bwapen ak bwa koray ki soti nan peyi Liban. Paske mwen konnen moun peyi ou yo konn pare bwa sa yo byen. M'a voye moun pa m' ede pa ou yo
9 To provide me timber in abundance. For the house which I desire to build, is to be exceeding great, and glorious.
pou yo ka pare yon bon kantite bwa, paske se pou tanp mwen fè lide bati a gwo anpil, se pou l' yon bèl bagay.
10 And I will give thy servants the workmen that are to cut down the trees, for their food twenty thousand cores of wheat, and as many cores of barley, and twenty thousand measures of wine, and twenty thousand measures of oil.
Men pwovizyon m'ap voye pou moun ou yo k'ap koupe pyebwa yo ak pou moun k'ap siye yo: sanmil (100.000) barik ble, sanmil (100.000) barik lòj, sandimil (110.000) galon diven ak sandimil (110.000) galon lwil oliv.
11 And Hiram king of Tyre sent a letter to Solomon, saying: Because the Lord hath loved his people, therefore he hath made thee king over them.
Lè sa a, wa Iram ekri yon lèt voye reponn Salomon. Li di l' nan lèt la: -Se paske Seyè a renmen pèp Izrayèl la kifè li mete ou wa pou gouvènen yo.
12 And he added, saying: Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel, who made heaven and earth, who hath given to king David a wise and knowing son, endued with understanding and prudence, to build a house to the Lord, and a palace for himself.
Lwanj pou Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, li menm ki fè syèl la ak latè a! Paske li bay wa David yon pitit gason ki gen anpil bon konprann, anpil lespri epi ki veye tou sa l'ap fè, yon pitit ki koulye a fè lide bati yon tanp pou Seyè a ansanm ak yon palè pou tèt pa l'.
13 I therefore have sent thee my father Hiram, a wise and most skillful man,
M'ap voye yon moun ki gen bon konesans ak ladrès ba ou. Se bòs Iram.
14 The son of a woman of the daughters of Dan, whose father was a Tyrian, who knoweth how to work in gold, and in silver, in brass, and in iron, and in marble, and in timber, in purple also, and violet, and silk and scarlet: and who knoweth to grave all sort of graving, and to devise ingeniously all that there may be need of in the work with thy artificers, and with the artificers of my lord David thy father.
Manman li se moun branch fanmi Dann. Papa l' se natif natal lavil Tir. Li konn jan pou travay lò, ajan, kwiv, fè, wòch, bwa. Li konn jan pou koupe tou twal fin wouj, ble ak violèt, ak twal lenn tou. Li konn grave tout kalite desen, li ka fè tout kalite travay ou mande l' fè. L'a travay ansanm ak bòs pa ou yo, ak bòs wa David, papa ou, mèt mwen an, te genyen.
15 The wheat therefore, and the barley and the oil, and the wine, which thou, my lord, hast promised, send to thy servants.
Koulye a, ou mèt voye ban nou ble, lòj, diven ak lwil oliv ou te di w'ap voye yo.
16 And we will cut down as many trees out of Libanus, as thou shalt want, and will convey them in floats by sea to Joppe: and it will be thy part to bring them thence to Jerusalem.
Nou menm bò pa nou, nou pral koupe mezi bwa nan peyi Liban ou ka bezwen. N'a pote yo sou lanmè ba ou lavil Jope, n'a mare yo ansanm fè rado. Rive la, ou menm w'a fè pran yo pote moute lavil Jerizalèm.
17 And Solomon numbered all the proselytes in the land of Israel, after the numbering which David his father had made, and they were found a hundred and fifty-three thousand and six hundred.
Lè sa a, Salomon fè konte mete sou lis tout moun lòt nasyon ki t'ap viv nan peyi Izrayèl la, menm jan David, papa l', te fè l' la. Li jwenn sansenkanntwamil sisan (153.600) moun.
18 And he set seventy thousand of them to carry burdens on their shoulders, and eighty thousand to hew stones in the mountains: and three thousand and six hundred to be overseers of the work of the people.
Li pran swasanndimil (70.000) ladan yo pou pote materyo, katrevenmil (80.000) pou taye wòch nan mòn yo. Lèfini, li pran twamilsisan (3.600) ki rete yo, li mete yo fòmann reskonsab pou fè pèp la travay.
