1 Kings 5
1 And Hiram king of Tyre sendeth his servants unto Solomon, for he heard that they had anointed him for king instead of his father, for Hiram was a lover of David all the days;
Alò, Hiram, wa Tyr la, te voye sèvitè li yo kote Salomon lè li te tande ke yo te onksyone li wa nan plas a papa li, paske Hiram te konn toujou zanmi David.
2 and Solomon sendeth unto Hiram, saying,
Epi Salomon te voye kote Hiram pou di:
3 'Thou hast known David my father, that he hath not been able to build a house to the name of Jehovah his God, because of the wars that have been round about him, till Jehovah's putting them under the soles of his feet.
“Ou konnen ke David, papa m, pa t kapab bati yon kay pou non a SENYÈ a, akoz gè ki te antoure li yo, jiskaske SENYÈ a te mete yo anba pla pye li.
4 'And now, Jehovah my God hath given rest to me round about, there is no adversary nor evil occurrence,
Men koulye a, SENYÈ a te ban m repo tout kote. Nanpwen advèsè ni malè.
5 and lo, I am saying to build a house to the name of Jehovah my God, as Jehovah spake unto David my father, saying, Thy son whom I appoint in thy stead on thy throne, he doth build the house for My name.
Gade byen, “Mwen gen entansyon bati yon kay pou non SENYÈ a, Bondye mwen an, jan SENYÈ a te pale a David la, papa m nan, kon Li te di: ‘Fis ou a, ke mwen va mete sou twòn pa w la, nan plas ou a, li va bati kay la pou non Mwen.’
6 'And now, command, and they cut down for me cedars out of Lebanon, and my servants are with thy servants, and the hire of thy servants I give to thee according to all that thou sayest, for thou hast known that there is not among us a man acquainted with cutting wood, like the Sidonians.'
Alò, pou sa, bay lòd pou yo koupe pou mwen sèd Liban e sèvitè mwen yo va la avèk sèvitè pa ou yo, epi mwen va ba ou salè pou sèvitè ou yo selon tout sa ke ou di. Paske ou konnen ke nanpwen pami nou ki konprann kijan pou koupe bwa tankou Sidonyen yo.”
7 And it cometh to pass at Hiram's hearing the words of Solomon, that he rejoiceth exceedingly, and saith, 'Blessed [is] Jehovah to-day, who hath given to David a wise son over this numerous people.'
Lè Hiram te tande pawòl a Salomon yo, li te rejwi anpil. Li te di: “Beni se SENYÈ a nan jou sila a, ki te bay a David yon fis ki saj sou gran pèp sa a.”
8 And Hiram sendeth unto Solomon, saying, I have heard that which thou hast sent unto me, I do all thy desire concerning cedar-wood, and fir-wood,
Konsa, Hiram te voye kote Salomon e te di: “Mwen te tande sa ke ou voye di mwen an. Mwen va fè sa ke ou vle de bwa sèd avèk pichpen an.
9 my servants bring down from Lebanon to the sea, and I make them floats in the sea unto the place that thou sendest unto me, and I have spread them out there; and thou dost take [them] up, and thou dost execute my desire, to give the food of my house.'
Sèvitè mwen yo va mennen yo desann soti Liban rive kote lanmè a. Mwen va mare yo ansanm pou fè yo rive pa lanmè nan plas kote ou dirije m nan. Nou va kase yo la pou moun ou yo kab pote yo ale. Alò, ou va akonpli volonte m e ou bay manje a tout lakay mwen.”
10 And Hiram is giving to Solomon cedar-trees, and fir-trees, all his desire,
Konsa, Hiram te bay Salomon tout sa li te vle nan bwa sèd avèk pichpen yo.
11 and Solomon hath given to Hiram twenty thousand cors of wheat, food for his house, and twenty cors of beaten oil; thus doth Solomon give to Hiram year by year.
Salomon te bay Hiram ven-mil barik nan ble a kòm manje pou lakay li ak ven barik nan lwil bat la. Konsa Salomon te bay Hiram ane pa ane.
12 And Jehovah hath given wisdom to Solomon as He spake to him, and there is peace between Hiram and Solomon, and they make a covenant both of them.
SENYÈ a te ba li sajès, jis jan ke Li te pwomèt li a. Epi te gen lapè antre Hiram avèk Salomon e yo de a te fè yon akò.
13 And king Solomon lifteth up a tribute out of all Israel, and the tribute is thirty thousand men,
Alò, Wa Salomon te fè kòve obligatwa soti nan tout Israël la. Kòve fòse yo te konte trant-mil moun.
14 and he sendeth them to Lebanon, ten thousand a month, by changes, a month they are in Lebanon, two months in their own house; and Adoniram [is] over the tribute.
Li te voye yo nan Liban, di-mil moun pa mwa, yon ekip apre lòt ak de mwa lakay. Adoniram te chèf sou ouvriye kòve yo.
15 And king Solomon hath seventy thousand bearing burdens, and eighty thousand hewing in the mountain,
Alò, Salomon te gen swasann-di-mil transpòtè ak katre-ven-mil ki t ap taye wòch nan mòn yo.
16 apart from the heads of the officers of Solomon, who [are] over the work, three thousand and three hundred, those ruling over the people who are working in the business.
Anplis, Salomon te gen twa-mil-twa-san depite an chèf ki te sou pwojè a. Yo te chèf dirijan sou moun ki t ap fè travay yo.
17 And the king commandeth, and they bring great stones, precious stone, to lay the foundation of the house, hewn stones;
Alò, wa a te pase lòd pou yo te tayegwo wòch yo, wòch chè pou poze fondasyon kay la ak wòch taye.
18 and the builders of Solomon, and the builders of Hiram, and the Giblites hew, and prepare the wood and the stones to build the house.
Konsa, moun Salomon ki t ap bati yo, moun Hiram ki t ap bati yo, epi Gibliyen yo t ap koupe yo e prepare bwa yo ansanm ak wòch yo pou bati kay la.
