< 2 Chronicles 8 >
1 At the end of twenty years, in which Solomon had built the LORD’s house and his own house,
Wa Salomon te pran ventan pou l' bati kay Seyè a ak kay pa li a.
2 Solomon built the cities which Huram had given to Solomon, and caused the children of Israel to dwell there.
Li rebati tout lavil wa Iram te ba li, li voye moun pèp Izrayèl al rete ladan yo.
3 Solomon went to Hamath Zobah, and prevailed against it.
Apre sa, li al atake lavil Amat nan Zoba, li pran li.
4 He built Tadmor in the wilderness, and all the storage cities, which he built in Hamath.
Li rebati lavil Tadmò nan dezè a ansanm ak tout lavil nan zòn Amat la pou sevi depo pwovizyon.
5 Also he built Beth Horon the upper and Beth Horon the lower, fortified cities with walls, gates, and bars;
Salomon rebati Bètowon anwo ak Bètowon anba, li byen pwoteje yo ak miray ranpa, gwo pòtay ak ba pou fèmen yo.
6 and Baalath, and all the storage cities that Solomon had, and all the cities for his chariots, the cities for his horsemen, and all that Solomon desired to build for his pleasure in Jerusalem, in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.
Li rebati lavil Balat, tout lavil kote li te fè depo pwovizyon, tout lavil kote yo te gade chwal li yo ansanm ak cha lagè yo. Li bati tou sa li te fè lide bati nan lavil Jerizalèm, nan peyi Liban ak nan tout lòt peyi ki te sou zòd li yo.
7 As for all the people who were left of the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who were not of Israel—

8 of their children who were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel didn’t consume—of them Solomon conscripted forced labour 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. Yo te kite yo rete nan peyi a. Te gen moun Amori, moun Et, moun Ferezi, moun Iva ak moun Jebis. Se pitit moun sa yo Salomon te pran sèvi esklav pou fè kòve. Se sa k'ap fèt jouk jounen jòdi a.
9 But of the children of Israel, Solomon made no servants for his work, but they were men of war, chief of his captains, and rulers of his chariots and of 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.
10 These were the chief officers of King Solomon, even two-hundred and fifty, who ruled over the people.
Te gen desansenkant (250) moun gouvènè yo te chwazi pou sèvi fòmann. Se yo ki te reskonsab kontwole tout travay ki t'ap fèt yo.
11 Solomon brought up Pharaoh’s daughter out of David’s city to the house that he had built for her; for he said, “My wife shall not dwell in the house of David king of Israel, because the places where the LORD’s ark has come are holy.”
Salomon fè madanm li, pitit fi farawon an, kite lavil David, al rete nan kay li te bati pou li a. Li t'ap di nan kè l': Ata madanm mwen pa gen dwa rete nan kay David, wa peyi Izrayèl la, paske tout kote Bwat Kontra Seyè a te pase se kote ki fèt pou rete apa pou Bondye.
12 Then Solomon offered burnt offerings to the LORD on the LORD’s altar which he had built before the porch,
Salomon te ofri bèt pou yo boule nèt pou Bondye sou lotèl li te fè bati pou Seyè a devan Tanp lan.
13 even as the duty of every day required, offering according to the commandment of Moses on the Sabbaths, on the new moons, and on the set feasts, three times per year, during the feast of unleavened bread, during the feast of weeks, and during the feast of booths.
Li ofri bèt pou yo boule nèt pou Seyè a, dapre lòd Moyiz te bay nan lalwa a pou chak jou fèt: pou jou repo yo, pou jou lalin nouvèl yo, ak pou twa gwo fèt yo fete chak lanne yo, ki vle di: Fèt Pen san ledven yo, Fèt Rekòt yo ak Fèt Joupa yo.
14 He appointed, according to the ordinance of David his father, the divisions of the priests to their service, and the Levites to their offices, to praise and to minister before the priests, as the duty of every day required, the doorkeepers also by their divisions at every gate, for David the man of God had so commanded.
Dapre regleman David, papa l', te bay, li mete chak gwoup nan travay pa yo, prèt yo pou fè sèvis pou Bondye, moun Levi yo pou fè lwanj Seyè a epi pou ede prèt yo nan travay yo dapre sa ki pou fèt chak jou fèt yo. Li bay chak gwoup gad pòtay Tanp lan lè travay yo nan chak pòtay, dapre lòd David, moun Bondye a, te kite.
15 They didn’t depart from the commandment of the king to the priests and Levites concerning any matter or concerning the treasures.
Se konsa, yo te swiv tout ti detay ki nan lòd wa David te bay pou prèt yo ak pou moun Levi yo, ata lòd li te bay pou trezò Tanp lan.
16 Now all the work of Solomon was accomplished from the day of the foundation of the LORD’s house until it was finished. So the LORD’s house was completed.
Se konsa tout travay Salomon te vle fè a te fin fèt, depi jou yo t'ap fouye fondasyon Tanp Seyè a jouk yo fini l'. Tanp Seyè a pa t' manke anyen ankò pou l' fini.
17 Then Solomon went to Ezion Geber and to Eloth, on the seashore in the land of Edom.
Apre sa, Salomon ale lavil Ezyongebè ak lavil Elat bò Lanmè Wouj la, nan pòsyon tè ki pou moun Edon yo.
18 Huram sent him ships and servants who had knowledge of the sea by the hands of his servants; and they came with the servants of Solomon to Ophir, and brought from there four hundred and fifty talents of gold, and brought them to King Solomon.
Wa Iram te voye batiman ansanm ak moun peyi l' ki te konn lanmè bay Salomon pou sèvi ansanm ak moun Salomon yo sou batiman yo. Se chèf ki t'ap sèvi nan gouvènman Iram yo ki te vin renmèt batiman yo. Maren Iram yo vwayaje ansanm ak moun pa Salomon yo rive peyi Ofi, kote yo al chache trèz tòn lò pote bay Salomon.
