2 Chronicles 1
1 And Solomon son of David strengthens himself over his kingdom, and his God YHWH [is] with him, and makes him exceedingly great.
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 says to all Israel, to heads of the thousands, and of the hundreds, and to the ones judging, and to every honorable one of all Israel, heads of the 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 they go—Solomon, and all the assembly with him—to the high place that [is] in Gibeon, for God’s Tent of Meeting has been there, that Moses, servant of YHWH, 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 David had the Ark of God brought up from Kirjath-Jearim to the [place] David had prepared for it, for he stretched out a tent for it in 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 altar of bronze that Bezaleel son of Uri, son of Hur made, he put before the Dwelling Place of YHWH; and Solomon and the assembly seek Him [there].
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 goes up there, on the altar of bronze, before YHWH, that [is] at the Tent of Meeting, and causes one thousand burnt-offerings to ascend on 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 has appeared to Solomon and says to him, “Ask—what do I give to you?”
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 says to God, “You have done great kindness with my father David, and have caused me to reign 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, O YHWH God, Your word with my father David is steadfast, for You have caused me to reign over a people [as] 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 now, give wisdom and knowledge to me, and I go out before this people, and I come in, for who judges this—Your 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 says to Solomon, “Because that this has been with your heart, and you have not asked for riches, wealth, and honor, and the life of those hating you, and also have not asked for many days, and ask for wisdom and knowledge for yourself, so that you judge My people over which I have caused you to reign—
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 the wisdom and the knowledge is given to you, and riches and wealth and honor I [also] give to you, that there has not been so to the kings who [are] before you, and after you it is not so.”
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 And Solomon comes in to Jerusalem [from] the high place that [is] in Gibeon, from before the Tent of Meeting, and reigns 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 gathers chariots and horsemen, and he has one thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, and he places them in the cities of the chariots, and with the king in 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 makes the silver and the gold in Jerusalem as stones, and the cedars he made as sycamores that [are] in the low country, 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 source of the horses that [are] for Solomon [is] from Egypt and from Keva; merchants of the king take [them] from Keva 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 come up, and bring out a chariot from Egypt for six hundred pieces of silver, and a horse for one hundred and fifty, and so for all the kings of the Hittites and the kings of Aram—they bring [them] out by their hand.
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.
