2 Chronicles 2
1 Then Solomon gave word to build a house for the Name of Yahweh, 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 And Solomon numbered seventy thousand men to bear burdens, and eighty thousand men to hew in the mountain, —and, to oversee them, three thousand six hundred.
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 And Solomon sent unto Huram king of Tyre, saying, —As thou didst deal with David my father, and didst send him cedars to build him a house to dwell in,
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 lo! I, am about to build a house for the Name of Yahweh my God, to hallow unto him—to burn before him sweet incense, and for a continual setting in array, and to offer ascending-sacrifices morning and evening, on the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the appointed feasts of Yahweh our God, -age-abiding, is this [law] for 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 And, the house which I am about to build, [must be] great, —for great is our God, 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 unto him a house? for, the heavens, even the heaven of heavens, cannot contain him, —who then am, I, that I should build unto him a house, though only 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 wise man, to work in gold and in silver and in bronze and in iron, and in purple and crimson and blue, and skilful to execute gravings, —with the wise men who are with me, in Judah and in Jerusalem, whom my father David did provide.
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 And send me—timbers of cedar, cypress and sandal-wood, out of the Lebanon, for, I, know that, thy servants, are skilful, to cut the timbers of Lebanon, —and lo! my servants shall be with thy 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 yea to prepare me timbers in abundance, —for, the house which I am about to build, [must be] great and most 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 And lo! for the hewers that cut the timbers, have I given wheat as food for thy servants, twenty thousand measures, and barley, twenty thousand measures, and wine, twenty thousand baths, and oil, twenty thousand baths.
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 answered Huram king of Tyre, in writing, which he sent unto Solomon, —Because Yahweh hath loved his people, hath he set thee over them as king.
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 And Huram said, Blessed be Yahweh, God of Israel, who made the heavens and the earth, —who hath given, unto David the king, a wise son, skilled in prudence and understanding, who will build a house for Yahweh, 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, therefore, have I sent a wise man, skilled in understanding, pertaining to Huram my father:
M'ap voye yon moun ki gen bon konesans ak ladrès ba ou. Se bòs Iram.
14 son of a woman of the daughters of Dan, whose father was a man of Tyre, skilled to work in gold and in silver, in bronze, in iron, in stones and in timber, in purple, in blue and in fine white linen, and in crimson, and to grave any manner of graving, and to devise any manner of device that may be given to him, with thy wise men, and the wise men of my lord David thy 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, whereof my lord hath spoken, let him send unto 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 down timbers out of the Lebanon, according to all thy need, and will bring them unto thee in floats, upon the sea to Joppa, —and, thou, shalt fetch them 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 So Solomon numbered all the men that were sojourners, who were in the land of Israel, after the numbering, wherewith David his father had numbered them, —and they were found to be—a hundred and fifty-three thousand and 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 And he made up from among them—seventy thousand, to bear burdens, and eighty thousand to hew in the mountain, —and three thousand and six hundred, as overseers, to keep 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.
