2 Istwa 8
1 Wa Salomon te pran ventan pou l' bati kay Seyè a ak kay pa li a.
And at the end of twenty years after Solomon had built the house of the Lord and his own house:
2 Li rebati tout lavil wa Iram te ba li, li voye moun pèp Izrayèl al rete ladan yo.
He built the cities which Hiram had given to Solomon, and caused the children of Israel to dwell there.
3 Apre sa, li al atake lavil Amat nan Zoba, li pran li.
He went also into Emath Suba, and possessed it.
4 Li rebati lavil Tadmò nan dezè a ansanm ak tout lavil nan zòn Amat la pou sevi depo pwovizyon.
And he built Palmira in the desert, and he built other strong cities in Emath.
5 Salomon rebati Bètowon anwo ak Bètowon anba, li byen pwoteje yo ak miray ranpa, gwo pòtay ak ba pou fèmen yo.
And he built Beth-horon the upper, and Beth-horon the nether, walled cities with Rates and bars and locks.
6 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.
Balaath also and all the strong cities that were Solomon’s, and all the cities of the chariots, and the cities of the horsemen. All that Solomon had a mind, and designed, he built in Jerusalem and in Libanus, and in all the land of his dominion.

All the people that were left of the Hethites, and the Amorrhites, and the Pherezites, and the Hevites, and the Jebusites, that were not of the stock of Israel:
8 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.
Of their children, and of the posterity, whom the children of Israel had not slain, Solomon made to be the tributaries, unto this day.
9 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 he set none to serve in the king’s works: for they were men of war, and chief captains, and rulers of his chariots and horsemen.
10 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.
And all the chief captains of king Solomon’s army were two hundred and fifty, who taught the people.
11 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.
And he removed the daughter of Pharao from the city of David, to the house which he had built for her. For the king said: My wife shall not dwell in the house of David king of Israel, for it is sanctified: because the ark of the Lord came into it.
12 Salomon te ofri bèt pou yo boule nèt pou Bondye sou lotèl li te fè bati pou Seyè a devan Tanp lan.
Then Solomon offered holocausts to the Lord upon the altar of the Lord which he had built before the porch,
13 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.
That every day an offering might be made on it according to the ordinance of Moses, in the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the festival days three times a year, that is to say, in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles.
14 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.
And he appointed according to the order of David his father the offices of the priests in their ministries: and the Levites in their order to give praise, and minister before the priests according to the duty of every day: and the porters in their divisions by gate and gate: for so David the man of God had commanded.
15 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.
And the priests and Levites departed not from the king’s commandments, as to any thing that he had commanded, and as to the keeping of the treasures.
16 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.
Solomon had all charges prepared, from the day that he founded the house of the Lord, until the day wherein he finished it.
17 Apre sa, Salomon ale lavil Ezyongebè ak lavil Elat bò Lanmè Wouj la, nan pòsyon tè ki pou moun Edon yo.
Then Solomon went to Asiongaber, and to Ailath, on the coast of the Red Sea, which is in the land of Edom.
18 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.
And Hiram sent him ships by the hands of his servants, and skillful mariners, and they went with Solomon’s servants to Ophir, and they took thence four hundred and fifty talents of gold, and brought it to king Solomon.
