2 Chronicles 2
1 Now Solomon purposed to build a house for the name of the LORD, and a house for his kingdom.
Wa Salomon te deside bati yon kay kote pou yo fè sèvis pou Seyè a, ansanm ak yon palè pou l' rete.
2 Solomon counted out seventy thousand men to bear burdens, and eighty thousand men who were stone cutters in the mountains, and three thousand and 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 Solomon sent to Hiram the king of Tyre, saying, "As you dealt with David my father, and sent him cedars to build him a house in which to dwell, so deal with me.
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 Look, I am about to build a house for the name of the LORD my God, to dedicate it to him, and to burn before him incense of sweet spices, and for the continual show bread, and for the burnt offerings morning and evening, on the Sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the set feasts of the LORD our God. This is an ordinance forever to 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 "The house which I 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 But who is able to build him a house, since heaven and the heaven of heavens can't contain him? Who am I then, that I should build him a house, except just to burn incense 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 "Now therefore send me a man skillful to work in gold, and in silver, and in bronze, and in iron, and in purple, and crimson, and blue, and who knows how to engrave engravings, to be with the skillful men who are with me in Judah and in 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 cedar trees, fir trees, and algum trees, out of Lebanon; for I know that your servants know how to cut timber in Lebanon: and look, my servants shall be with your 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 even to prepare me timber in abundance; for the house which I am about to build shall be great and wonderful.
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 Look, I will give to your servants, the cutters who 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."
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 Then Hiram the king of Tyre answered in writing, which he sent to Solomon, "Because the LORD loves his people, he has made you 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 Hiram continued, "Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, that made heaven and earth, who has given to David the king a wise son, endowed with discretion and understanding, that should build a house for the LORD, and a house for his kingdom.
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 Now I have sent a skillful man, endowed with understanding, Hiram Abi,
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; and his father was a man of Tyre, skillful to work in gold, and in silver, in bronze, in iron, in stone, and in timber, in purple, in blue, and in fine linen, and in crimson, also to engrave any kind of engraving, and to execute any design; that there may be a place appointed to him with your skillful men, and with the skillful men of my lord David your 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 "Now therefore the wheat and the barley, the oil and the wine, which my lord has spoken of, let him send to his 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 wood out of Lebanon, as much as you shall need; and we will bring it to you in floats by sea to Joppa; and you shall carry it up 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 Solomon numbered all the foreigners who were in the land of Israel, after the numbering with which David his father had numbered them; and they were found one hundred fifty-three thousand 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 He set seventy thousand of them to bear burdens, and eighty thousand who were stone cutters in the mountains, and three thousand six hundred overseers to set the people at work.
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.
