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 made an end of building the house of Yahweh, and the house of the king, and everything that Solomon desired, which he was pleased to make,
2 Seyè a te fè Salomon wè l' ankò, menm jan li te fè l' wè l' lavil Gabawon an.
then appeared Yahweh unto Solomon, a second time, —as he appeared unto him, in 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 Yahweh said unto him—I have heard thy prayer and thy supplication, wherewith thou hast made supplication before me, I have hallowed this house, which thou hast built, to put my Name there unto times age-abiding, —and mine eyes and my heart shall be there, continually:
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,
As for thee, therefore, if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father walked, with a whole heart and with uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded thee, —and, my statutes and my regulations, wilt keep,
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 will I establish the throne of thy kingdom over Israel, unto times age-abiding, —as I promised unto David thy father, saying, There shall not be cut off to thee a man, from off 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,
If ye, turn back, ye or your sons, from following me, and keep not my commandments, my statutes, which I have set before you, —but depart and serve other gods, and bow yourselves down to 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, from the face of the soil, which I have given unto them, and, the house which I have hallowed for my Name, will I suffer to be carried away from before me, —and Israel shall become a byword and a mockery, among all the peoples;
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, this house which had been renowned, shall be desolate, every one that passeth by it, shall be astonished and shall whistle, —and men shall say—For what cause, hath Yahweh done, thus, unto this land, and unto 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 men will answer—Because they forsook Yahweh their God, who brought forth their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and laid hold of other gods, and bowed themselves down to them, and served them, for this cause, hath Yahweh brought in upon them all this ruin.
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 Yahweh, and the house of the king;
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.
Hiram king of Tyre having supplied Solomon with timber of cedar, and with timber of fir, and with gold, according to all his desire, that, then, King Solomon gave unto 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 view the cities which, Solomon, had given him, —and they were not pleasing in his eyes.
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.
So he said—What cities are these which thou hast given me, my brother? And he called them, Unfruitful Land, [as they are called] unto this day.
14 Iram te voye senk tòn lò an total bay Salomon.
Now Hiram had sent to the king, —a hundred and twenty 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.
Now, the following, is an account of the tax which King Solomon raised, for building the house of Yahweh 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.
Pharaoh king of Egypt, had gone up and captured Gezer, and burned it with fire, the Canaanites also who were dwelling in the city, had he slain, —and had given it as a dowry, to his daughter, wife of Solomon.
17 Salomon rebati lavil Gezè, li rebati lavil Bètowon ki nan fon an,
So then Solomon built Gezer, and Beth-horon, 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.
also all the store cities, which Solomon had, and the cities for chariots, and the cities for horsemen, —and the desire of Solomon that he was pleased to build in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and in all the land that he ruled over.
20 Te gen moun Amori yo, moun Et yo, moun Ferezi yo, moun Evi yo ak moun Jebis yo.
All the people that were left, of the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites and the Jebusites, who were, not of the sons 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 sons, who were left after them in the land, whom the sons of Israel were not able to devote to destruction, Solomon levied them for a toiling labour-band [which remaineth] unto 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 sons of Israel, Solomon devoted none to bond-service, —but, they, were men of war, and his servants, and his generals, and his heroes, and captains 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 chiefs of the officers, who were over the work, for Solomon, five hundred and fifty, —who ruled over the people that wrought 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.
Scarcely had Pharaoh’s daughter come up out of the city of David, into her own house, which he had built for her, when he built 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 Solomon used to offer, three times a year, ascending-sacrifices and peace-offerings, upon the altar which he had built unto Yahweh, and to offer incense at the altar which was before Yahweh, —thus Solomon gave completeness unto 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.
A fleet also, did King Solomon build in Ezion-geber, 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 fleet his servants, seamen, having 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 thence, gold, four hundred and twenty talents, —and brought it to King Solomon.
