1 Wa 9
1 Lè wa Salomon fin bati Tanp Seyè a, palè wa a ak tout lòt bagay li te gen lide fè yo,
And it came to pass, when Solomon had finished the building of the house of the LORD, and the king’s house, and all Solomon’s desire which he was pleased to do,
2 Seyè a te fè Salomon wè l' ankò, menm jan li te fè l' wè l' lavil Gabawon an.
That the LORD appeared to Solomon the second time, as he had appeared to him at Gibeon.
3 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'.
And the LORD said to him, I have heard your prayer and your supplication, that you have made before me: I have hallowed this house, which you have built, to put my name there for ever; and my eyes and my heart shall be there perpetually.
4 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,
And if you will walk before me, as David your father walked, in integrity of heart, and in uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded you, and will keep my statutes and my judgments:
5 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.
Then I will establish the throne of your kingdom on Israel for ever, as I promised to David your father, saying, There shall not fail you a man on the throne of Israel.
6 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,
But if you shall at all turn from following me, you or your children, and will not keep my commandments and my statutes which I have set before you, but go and serve other gods, and worship them:
7 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.
Then will I cut off Israel out of the land which I have given them; and this house, which I have hallowed for my name, will I cast out of my sight; and Israel shall be a proverb and a byword among all people:
8 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.
And at this house, which is high, every one that passes by it shall be astonished, and shall hiss; and they shall say, Why has the LORD done thus to this land, and to this house?
9 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.
And they shall answer, Because they forsook the LORD their God, who brought forth their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and have taken hold on other gods, and have worshipped them, and served them: therefore has the LORD brought on them all this evil.
10 Wa Salomon te pran ventan pou l' bati tanp Seyè a ak palè wa a.
And it came to pass at the end of twenty years, when Solomon had built the two houses, the house of the LORD, and the king’s house,
11 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.
(Now Hiram the king of Tyre had furnished Solomon with cedar trees and fir trees, and with gold, according to all his desire, ) that then king Solomon gave Hiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee.
12 Iram kite peyi l', Tir, li desann al wè lavil Salomon te ba li yo. Men, li pa t' renmen yo.
And Hiram came out from Tyre to see the cities which Solomon had given him; and they pleased him not.
13 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.
And he said, What cities are these which you have given me, my brother? And he called them the land of Cabul to this day.
14 Iram te voye senk tòn lò an total bay Salomon.
And Hiram sent to the king six score talents of gold.
15 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.
And this is the reason of the levy which king Solomon raised; for to build the house of the LORD, and his own house, and Millo, and the wall of Jerusalem, and Hazor, and Megiddo, and Gezer.
16 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.
For Pharaoh king of Egypt had gone up, and taken Gezer, and burnt it with fire, and slain the Canaanites that dwelled in the city, and given it for a present to his daughter, Solomon’s wife.
17 Salomon rebati lavil Gezè, li rebati lavil Bètowon ki nan fon an,
And Solomon built Gezer, and Bethhoron the nether,
18 lavil Balat ak lavil Tama nan dezè Jida a.
And Baalath, and Tadmor in the wilderness, in the land,
19 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.
And all the cities of store that Solomon had, and cities for his chariots, and cities for his horsemen, and that which Solomon desired to build in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.
20 Te gen moun Amori yo, moun Et yo, moun Ferezi yo, moun Evi yo ak moun Jebis yo.
And all the people that were left of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites, which were not of the children of Israel,
21 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.
Their children that were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel also were not able utterly to destroy, on those did Solomon levy a tribute of slavery to this day.
22 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.
But of the children of Israel did Solomon make no slaves: but they were men of war, and his servants, and his princes, and his captains, and rulers of his chariots, and his horsemen.
23 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.
These were the chief of the officers that were over Solomon’s work, five hundred and fifty, which bore rule over the people that worked in the work.
24 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.
But Pharaoh’s daughter came up out of the city of David to her house which Solomon had built for her: then did he build Millo.
25 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.
And three times in a year did Solomon offer burnt offerings and peace offerings on the altar which he built to the LORD, and he burnt incense on the altar that was before the LORD. So he finished the house.
26 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.
And king Solomon made a navy of ships in Eziongeber, which is beside Eloth, on the shore of the Red sea, in the land of Edom.
27 wa Iram te voye kèk moun peyi l' ki te bon maren pou sèvi ansanm ak moun Salomon yo sou batiman yo.
And Hiram sent in the navy his servants, shipmen that had knowledge of the sea, with the servants of Solomon.
28 Yo vwayaje rive peyi Ofi kote y' al chache sèz tòn lò pote bay Salomon.
And they came to Ophir, and fetched from there gold, four hundred and twenty talents, and brought it to king Solomon.
