Kings III 5
1 And Chiram king of Tyre sent his servants to anoint Solomon in the room of David his father, because Chiram always loved David.
Alò, Hiram, wa Tyr la, te voye sèvitè li yo kote Salomon lè li te tande ke yo te onksyone li wa nan plas a papa li, paske Hiram te konn toujou zanmi David.
2 And Solomon sent to Chiram, saying,
Epi Salomon te voye kote Hiram pou di:
3 You knew my father David, that he could not build a house to the name of the Lord my God because of the wars that compassed him about, until the Lord put them under the soles of his feet.
“Ou konnen ke David, papa m, pa t kapab bati yon kay pou non a SENYÈ a, akoz gè ki te antoure li yo, jiskaske SENYÈ a te mete yo anba pla pye li.
4 And now the Lord my God has given me rest round about; there is no one plotting against [me], and there is no evil trespass [against me].
Men koulye a, SENYÈ a te ban m repo tout kote. Nanpwen advèsè ni malè.
5 And, behold, I intend to build a house to the name of the Lord my God, as the Lord God spoke to my father David, saying, Your son whom I will set on your throne in your place, he shall build a house to my name.
Gade byen, “Mwen gen entansyon bati yon kay pou non SENYÈ a, Bondye mwen an, jan SENYÈ a te pale a David la, papa m nan, kon Li te di: ‘Fis ou a, ke mwen va mete sou twòn pa w la, nan plas ou a, li va bati kay la pou non Mwen.’
6 And now command, and let [men] cut wood for me out of Libanus: and, behold, my servants [shall be] with your servants, and I will give you the wages of your service, according to all that you shall say, because you know that we have no one skilled in cutting timber like the Sidonians.
Alò, pou sa, bay lòd pou yo koupe pou mwen sèd Liban e sèvitè mwen yo va la avèk sèvitè pa ou yo, epi mwen va ba ou salè pou sèvitè ou yo selon tout sa ke ou di. Paske ou konnen ke nanpwen pami nou ki konprann kijan pou koupe bwa tankou Sidonyen yo.”
7 And it came to pass, as soon as Chiram heard the words of Solomon, that he rejoiced greatly, and said, Blessed [be] God today, who has given to David a wise son over this numerous people.
Lè Hiram te tande pawòl a Salomon yo, li te rejwi anpil. Li te di: “Beni se SENYÈ a nan jou sila a, ki te bay a David yon fis ki saj sou gran pèp sa a.”
8 And he sent to Solomon, saying, I have listened concerning all that you have sent to me for: I will do all your will: [as for] timber of cedar and fir,
Konsa, Hiram te voye kote Salomon e te di: “Mwen te tande sa ke ou voye di mwen an. Mwen va fè sa ke ou vle de bwa sèd avèk pichpen an.
9 my servants shall bring them down from Libanus to the sea: I will form them [into] rafts, [and bring them] to the place which you shall send to me [about]; and I will land them there, and you shall take [them] up: and you shall do my will, in giving bread to my household.
Sèvitè mwen yo va mennen yo desann soti Liban rive kote lanmè a. Mwen va mare yo ansanm pou fè yo rive pa lanmè nan plas kote ou dirije m nan. Nou va kase yo la pou moun ou yo kab pote yo ale. Alò, ou va akonpli volonte m e ou bay manje a tout lakay mwen.”
10 So Chiram gave to Solomon cedars, and fir trees, and all his desire.
Konsa, Hiram te bay Salomon tout sa li te vle nan bwa sèd avèk pichpen yo.
11 And Solomon gave to Chiram twenty thousand measures of wheat as food for his house, and twenty thousand baths of beaten oil thus Solomon gave to Chiram yearly.
Salomon te bay Hiram ven-mil barik nan ble a kòm manje pou lakay li ak ven barik nan lwil bat la. Konsa Salomon te bay Hiram ane pa ane.
12 And the Lord gave wisdom to Solomon as he promised him; and there was peace between Chiram and Solomon, and they made a covenant between them.
SENYÈ a te ba li sajès, jis jan ke Li te pwomèt li a. Epi te gen lapè antre Hiram avèk Salomon e yo de a te fè yon akò.
13 And the king raised a levy out of all Israel, and the levy was thirty thousand men.
Alò, Wa Salomon te fè kòve obligatwa soti nan tout Israël la. Kòve fòse yo te konte trant-mil moun.
14 And he sent them to Libanus, ten thousand taking turn every month: they were a month in Libanus and two months at home: and Adoniram [was] over the levy.
Li te voye yo nan Liban, di-mil moun pa mwa, yon ekip apre lòt ak de mwa lakay. Adoniram te chèf sou ouvriye kòve yo.
15 And Solomon had seventy thousand bearers of burdens, and eighty thousand hewers of stone in the mountain;
Alò, Salomon te gen swasann-di-mil transpòtè ak katre-ven-mil ki t ap taye wòch nan mòn yo.
16 besides the rulers that were appointed over the works of Solomon, [there were] three thousand six hundred masters who wrought in the works.
Anplis, Salomon te gen twa-mil-twa-san depite an chèf ki te sou pwojè a. Yo te chèf dirijan sou moun ki t ap fè travay yo.
17 [And the king commanded and they ] [brought great stones, precious stones for the foundation of the house, and unhewn stones. ]
Alò, wa a te pase lòd pou yo te tayegwo wòch yo, wòch chè pou poze fondasyon kay la ak wòch taye.
18 And they prepared the stones and the timber [during] three years.
Konsa, moun Salomon ki t ap bati yo, moun Hiram ki t ap bati yo, epi Gibliyen yo t ap koupe yo e prepare bwa yo ansanm ak wòch yo pou bati kay la.
