1 Kings 5
1 Hiram king of Tyre sent his servants to Solomon; for he had heard that they had anointed him king in the place of his father: for Hiram was ever a lover of David.
Iram, wa peyi Tir, te toujou yon bon zanmi wa David. Lè li vin konnen se Salomon ki te vin moute wa nan plas David, papa l', li voye kèk chèf bò kote l'.
2 Solomon sent to Hiram, saying,
Salomon ba yo mesaj sa a pou yo pote bay Iram:
3 "You know how that David my father could not build a house for the name of Jehovah his God for the wars which were about him on every side, until Jehovah put them under the soles of his feet.
-Ou konnen ak lagè David, papa m', te genyen ak peyi ki toupre l' yo, li pa t' kapab bati yon kay kote pou yo adore Seyè a, Bondye li a, toutotan Seyè a pa t' fè l' kraze lènmi l' yo anba pye l'.
4 But now Jehovah my God has given me rest on every side. There is neither adversary, nor evil occurrence.
Men koulye a, Seyè a, Bondye mwen an, ban m' lapè sou tout fwontyè yo. Mwen pa gen moun pou chache m' kont, ni moun pou fè m' move kou.
5 Look, I purpose to build a house for the name of Jehovah my God, as Jehovah spoke to David my father, saying, 'Your son, whom I will set on your throne in your place, he shall build the house for my name.'
Seyè a te fè David, papa m', pwomès sa a: Se pitit gason ou m'ap mete wa nan plas ou a k'ap bati yon kay pou mwen. Enben, koulye a, mwen fè lide bati yon kay pou Seyè a, Bondye mwen an.
6 Now therefore command that they cut me cedar trees out of Lebanon. My servants shall be with your servants; and I will give you wages for your servants according to all that you shall say. For you know that there is not among us any who knows how to cut timber like the Sidonians."
Ou menm, ou pral bay lòd pou yo koupe kèk pye sèd pou mwen nan peyi Liban. Moun pa m' yo va travay ansanm ak moun pa ou yo. m'a peye mesye ou yo jan wa vle l' la. Ou konnen pa gen moun nan peyi m' ki ka koupe bwa tankou moun Sidon yo.
7 It happened, when Hiram heard the words of Solomon, that he rejoiced greatly, and said, "Blessed is Jehovah this day, who has given to David a wise son over this great people."
Lè Iram resevwa mesaj Salomon an, sa te fè l' plezi anpil. Li di: -Lwanj jòdi a pou Seyè a ki bay David yon pitit gason ak bon konprann konsa pou gouvènen sou gwo pèp sa a!
8 Hiram sent to Solomon, saying, "I have heard the message which you have sent to me. I will satisfy all your desire concerning cedar wood and concerning the wood of evergreens.
Apre sa, Iram voye di Salomon: -Mwen resevwa mesaj ou a. M'ap fè tou sa ou mande m' fè pou bwa sèd ak bwa pichpen yo.
9 My servants shall bring them down from Lebanon to the sea. I will make them into rafts to go by sea to the place that you shall appoint me, and will cause them to be broken up there, and you shall receive them. You shall accomplish my desire, in giving food for my household."
Moun pa m' yo va pote madriye yo desann soti peyi Liban jouk bò lanmè. Lè y'a rive la, m'a fè yo mare madriye yo fè rado, y'a pouse yo sou lanmè a rive jouk kote w'a chwazi sou kòt la. Rive la, moun pa m' yo va demare madriye yo. Lè sa a, w'a fè moun pa ou yo fè rès travay la. Ou menm, w'a ban m' pwovizyon pou moun pa m' yo.
10 So Hiram gave Solomon timber of cedar and timber of fir according to all his desire.
Se konsa Iram bay Salomon tout madriye sèd ak madriye pichpen li te bezwen.
11 Solomon gave Hiram twenty thousand cors of wheat for food to his household, and twenty thousand baths of pure oil. Solomon gave this to Hiram year by year.
Salomon menm, bò pa l', bay Iram sanmil (100.000) barik ble ak sandimil (110.000) galon lwil oliv chak lanne pou l' bay moun li yo manje.
12 Jehovah gave Solomon wisdom, as he promised him; and there was peace between Hiram and Solomon; and the two of them made a covenant.
Seyè a kenbe pwomès li. Li bay Salomon anpil bon konprann. Te gen bon antann ant Iram ak Salomon. Yo siyen yon kontra yonn ak lòt.
13 King Solomon raised a levy out of all Israel; and the levy was thirty thousand men.
wa Salomon fè ranmase trantmil (30.000) moun nan tout peyi Izrayèl la pou fè kòve.
14 He sent them to Lebanon, ten thousand a month by courses; a month they were in Lebanon, and two months at home; and Adoniram was over the men subject to forced labor.
Li te mete Adoniram reskonsab kòve a. Li separe mesye yo fè twa gwoup, ak dimil (10.000) moun nan chak. Chak gwoup pase yon mwa nan peyi Liban, de mwa lakay yo. Chak fwa yon gwoup tounen, yon lòt al pran plas li.
15 Solomon had seventy thousand who bore burdens, and eighty thousand who were stone cutters in the mountains;
Salomon te gen katrevenmil (80.000) moun ap taye wòch nan min wòch, ak swasanndimil (70.000) moun pou pote yo lavil Jerizalèm,
16 besides Solomon's chief officers who were over the work, three thousand and six hundred, who bore rule over the people who labored in the work.
san konte twamil twasan (3.300) fòmann gouvènè yo te nonmen alatèt mesye sa yo pou kontwole travay yo.
17 The king commanded, and they cut out great stones, costly stones, to lay the foundation of the house with worked stone.
Wa Salomon te bay lòd pou yo taye kèk gwo blòk nan bèl wòch pou sèvi fondasyon kay la.
18 Solomon's builders and Hiram's builders and the Gebalites cut them, and prepared the timber and the stones to build the house.
Se konsa bòs mason Salomon yo ak bòs mason Iram yo ansanm ak mesye lavil Gebal yo te pare blòk wòch ak bwa pou bati Tanp lan.
