1 Kings 9
1 After Solomon had finished building the house of Yahweh and the king's palace, and after he had accomplished all that he wanted to do,
Lè wa Salomon fin bati Tanp Seyè a, palè wa a ak tout lòt bagay li te gen lide fè yo,
2 Yahweh appeared to Solomon a second time, as he had appeared to him at Gibeon.
Seyè a te fè Salomon wè l' ankò, menm jan li te fè l' wè l' lavil Gabawon an.
3 Then Yahweh said to him, “I have heard your prayer and your request that you have made before me. I have set apart this house, which you have built, to myself, to put my name there forever. My eyes and my heart will be there for all time.
Seyè a di l' konsa: -Mwen tande lapriyè ou la. Mwen mete tanp ou bati a apa pou sèvis mwen. Se la pou moun adore m' tout tan. M'ap voye je sou li, m'ap toujou pwoteje l'.
4 As for you, if you walk before me as David your father walked in integrity of heart and in uprightness, obeying all that I have commanded you and keeping my statutes and my decrees,
Si ou mache devan m' tankou David, papa ou, ak tout kè ou jan ou dwe fè l' la, si ou fè tout sa mwen mande ou fè, si ou koute lòd ak bon prensip mwen yo, m'a fè gouvènman ou lan kanpe fèm nan peyi Izrayèl la pou tout tan,
5 then I will establish the throne of your kingdom over Israel forever, as I promised David your father, saying, 'A descendant of yours will never fail to be on the throne of Israel.'
m'a kenbe pwomès mwen te fè David, papa ou la, lè m' te di l' ap toujou gen yon moun nan fanmi li ki pou gouvènen pèp Izrayèl la.
6 But if you turn away, you or your children, and do not keep my commandments and my statutes that I have placed before you, and if you go and worship other gods and bow down to them,
Men, si ou menm osinon yonn nan pitit ou yo vire do ban mwen, si nou pa fè sa m' mande nou fè, si nou pa koute lòd mwen ban nou, si n' al sèvi lòt bondye, si n' al adore lòt bondye,
7 then will I cut off Israel from off the ground that I have given them; and this house that I have set apart to my name, I will cast it out of my sight, and Israel will become an example to be mocked and an object of ridicule among all peoples.
lè sa a, m'ap wete pèp Izrayèl la nan peyi mwen ba yo a. M'ap vire do bay tanp mwen te mete apa tankou kote pou yo fè sèvis pou mwen an. Moun toupatou va pase pèp Izrayèl la nan betiz, y'a fè chante sou li.
8 This temple will become a heap of ruins, and everyone who passes by it will be shocked and will hiss. They will ask, 'Why has Yahweh done this to this land and to this house?'
Tanp sa a va tounen yon vye mazi. Tout moun ki va pase bò la va sezi, y'a met men nan bouch. y'a mande poukisa Seyè a fè peyi a ak tanp lan sa.
9 Others will answer, 'Because they forsook Yahweh, their God, who had brought their ancestors out of the land of Egypt, and they laid hold of other gods and bowed down to them and worshiped them. That is why Yahweh has brought all this disaster on them.'”
y'a reponn yo: Se paske yo te vire do bay Seyè a, Bondye yo a, ki te fè zansèt yo soti kite peyi Lejip. Yo kouri al jwenn lòt bondye, yo fè sèvis pou yo, yo adore yo. Se poutèt sa Seyè a te voye malè sa a sou yo.
10 It came about at the end of twenty years that Solomon had finished building the two buildings, the temple of Yahweh and the king's palace.
Wa Salomon te pran ventan pou l' bati tanp Seyè a ak palè wa a.
11 Now Hiram, the king of Tyre, had furnished Solomon with cedar and cypress trees, and with gold—all that Solomon desired—so King Solomon gave Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee.
Iram, wa peyi Tir, te ba li tout bwa sèd ak bwa pichpen ansanm ak tout lò li te bezwen pou l' fè travay la. Lè travay la fini, wa Salomon bay Iram ven lavil nan zòn Galile a.
12 Hiram came out from Tyre to see the cities that Solomon had given him, but they did not please him.
Iram kite peyi l', Tir, li desann al wè lavil Salomon te ba li yo. Men, li pa t' renmen yo.
13 So Hiram said, “What cities are these which you have given me, my brother?” Hiram called them the Land of Kabul, which they are still called today.
Li di Salomon konsa: -Se lavil sa yo ou wè pou ou ban mwen, frè mwen! Yo pa vo anyen. Se poutèt sa, depi lè sa a rive jòdi a, yo rele zòn sa a Nan Kaboul.
14 Hiram had sent to the king 120 talents of gold.
Iram te voye senk tòn lò an total bay Salomon.
15 This is the account of the forced labor which King Solomon imposed to build the temple of Yahweh and his own palace, the Millo, the wall of Jerusalem, and Hazor, and Megiddo, and Gezer.
Wa Salomon te fè moun fè kòve pou bati tanp Seyè a ak palè pa l' la, pou mete ranblè plen bò solèy leve lavil la ak pou bati gwo miray lavil la. Li sèvi ak moun kòve yo tou pou l' rebati lavil Azò, lavil Megido ak lavil Gezè.
16 Pharaoh king of Egypt had gone up and taken Gezer. He burned it and killed the Canaanites in the city. Then Pharaoh gave the city to his daughter, Solomon's wife, as a wedding gift.
Lontan anvan sa, farawon an, wa peyi Lejip la, te moute atake lavil Gezè. Li pran l', li touye tout moun Kanaran ki te rete la, lèfini li mete dife ladan l'. Apre sa, li fè pitit fi l' la kado l' lè li te marye ak wa Salomon.
17 So Solomon rebuilt Gezer and Beth Horon the Lower,
Salomon rebati lavil Gezè, li rebati lavil Bètowon ki nan fon an,
18 Baalath and Tamar in the wilderness in the land of Judah,
lavil Balat ak lavil Tama nan dezè Jida a.
19 and all the store cities that he possessed, and the cities for his chariots and the cities for his horsemen, and whatever he wished to build for his pleasure in Jerusalem, in Lebanon, and in all the lands under his rule.
Li rebati tout lavil kote yo te fè depo pwovizyon Salomon yo, lavil pou chwal li yo ak pou cha lagè li yo, ak tou sa li te vle bati ni lavil Jerizalèm, ni nan peyi Liban, ni nan tout lòt peyi ki te sou lòd li yo.
20 As for all the people who were left of the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who were not of the people of Israel,
Te gen moun Amori yo, moun Et yo, moun Ferezi yo, moun Evi yo ak moun Jebis yo.
21 their descendants who were left after them in the land, whom the people of Israel were not able to totally destroy—Solomon made them into forced laborers, which they are to this day.
Lè moun Izrayèl yo te fin pran peyi Kanaran an pou yo, gen anpil nan moun ansyen mèt peyi a yo pa t' touye pou Bondye. Yo te kite yo rete nan peyi a. Se pitit moun sa yo Salomon te pran sèvi esklav pou fè kòve. Se sa k'ap fèt jouk jounen jòdi a.
22 However, Solomon made no forced laborers of the people of Israel. Instead, they became his soldiers and his servants, his officials, and his officers and commanders of his chariot forces and his horsemen.
Salomon pa t' fè ankenn moun nan pèp Izrayèl la sèvi esklav. Li te fè yo sèvi sòlda, ofisye, chèf, kaptenn ak kòmandan cha lagè yo ak kavalye yo.
23 These were also the chief officers managing the supervisors who were over Solomon's works, 550 of them, who supervised the people who did the work.
Te gen senksansenkant (550) fòmann gouvènè yo te nonmen reskonsab travay li yo. Se yo ki t'ap dirije moun ki t'ap travay yo.
24 Pharaoh's daughter moved from the city of David to the house that Solomon had built for her. Later, Solomon built the Millo.
Pitit fi farawon an kite Lavil David la, l' al rete nan palè Salomon te bati pou li a. Se apre sa Salomon fè ranbleye pòsyon ki bay sou solèy leve a.
25 Three times each year Solomon offered burnt offerings and peace offerings on the altar that he built for Yahweh, burning incense with them on the altar that was before Yahweh. So he completed the temple and was now using it.
Twa fwa chak lanne, Salomon te ofri bèt pou yo boule nèt pou Bondye ak ofrann pou di Bondye mèsi sou lotèl li te bati pou Seyè a, epi li fè boule lansan sou lotèl ki devan Seyè a. Se konsa, li te fè Tanp lan sèvi pou sa yo te bati l' la.
26 King Solomon built a fleet of ships in Ezion Geber, which is near Elath on the shore of the Red Sea, in the land of Edom.
Wa Salomon te bati yon bann gwo batiman lavil Ezyongebè ki te toupre Elat, bò lanmè Wouj la, nan pòsyon tè ki pou Edon an.
27 Hiram sent servants to Solomon's fleet, sailors who were familiar with the sea, with Solomon's own servants.
wa Iram te voye kèk moun peyi l' ki te bon maren pou sèvi ansanm ak moun Salomon yo sou batiman yo.
28 They went to Ophir with servants of Solomon. From there they brought back 420 talents of gold for King Solomon.
Yo vwayaje rive peyi Ofi kote y' al chache sèz tòn lò pote bay Salomon.
