2 Chronicles 2
1 And Solomon determined to build an house for the name of YHWH, and an 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 told out threescore and ten thousand men to bear burdens, and fourscore thousand to hew in the mountain, and three thousand and six hundred to oversee 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 the king of Tyre, saying, As thou didst deal with David my father, and didst send him cedars to build him an house to dwell therein, even so deal with 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 an house to the name of YHWH my Elohim, to dedicate it to him, and to burn before him sweet incense, and for the continual shewbread, and for the burnt offerings morning and evening, on the Sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the solemn feasts of YHWH our Elohim. 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 which I build is great: for great is our Elohim above all elohim.
“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 an house, seeing the heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain him? who am I then, that I should build him an house, save only 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 Send me now therefore a man cunning to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, and in iron, and in purple, and crimson, and blue, and that can skill to grave with the cunning men that are with me in Judah and in Jerusalem, whom David my father did provide.
“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, fir trees, and algum trees, out of Lebanon: for I know that thy servants can skill to cut 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 which I am about to build shall be wonderful great.
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 cut 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 Then Huram the king of Tyre answered in writing, which he sent to Solomon, Because YHWH hath loved his people, he hath 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 Huram said moreover, Blessed be YHWH Elohim of Israel, that made heaven and earth, who hath given to David the king a wise son, endued with prudence and understanding, that might build an house for YHWH, and an 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 have sent a cunning man, endued with understanding, of Huram my father's,
“Alò, mwen ap voye Huramabi, yon nonm abil avèk anpil bon konprann,
14 The son of a woman of the daughters of Dan, and his father was a man of Tyre, skilful to work in gold, and in silver, in brass, in iron, in stone, and in timber, in purple, in blue, and in fine linen, and in crimson; also to grave any manner of graving, and to find out every device which shall be put to him, with thy cunning men, and with the cunning men of my master 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 Now therefore 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 shall 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 numbering wherewith David his father had numbered them; and they were found an hundred and fifty thousand and three thousand and 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 threescore and ten thousand of them to be bearers of burdens, and fourscore thousand to be hewers in the mountain, and three thousand and six hundred overseers to set the people a 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.
