2 Istwa 8
1 Wa Salomon te pran ventan pou l' bati kay Seyè a ak kay pa li a.
And it comes to pass at the end of twenty years that Solomon has built the house of YHWH and his own house.
2 Li rebati tout lavil wa Iram te ba li, li voye moun pèp Izrayèl al rete ladan yo.
As for the cities that Huram has given to Solomon, Solomon has built them, and he causes the sons of Israel to dwell there.
3 Apre sa, li al atake lavil Amat nan Zoba, li pran li.
And Solomon goes to Hamath-Zobah, and lays hold on it;
4 Li rebati lavil Tadmò nan dezè a ansanm ak tout lavil nan zòn Amat la pou sevi depo pwovizyon.
and he builds Tadmor in the wilderness, and all the cities of store that he has built in Hamath.
5 Salomon rebati Bètowon anwo ak Bètowon anba, li byen pwoteje yo ak miray ranpa, gwo pòtay ak ba pou fèmen yo.
And he builds Beth-Horon the upper, and Beth-Horon the lower—cities of defense, with walls, double gates, and bar—
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.
and Ba‘alath, and all the cities of store that Solomon had, and all the cities of the chariot, and the cities of the horsemen, and all the desire of Solomon that he desired to build in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and in all the land of his dominion.

All the people who are left of the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, who are not 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 sons who have been left after them in the land, whom the sons of Israel did not consume—Solomon lifts up a tribute to 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.
And Solomon has made none of the sons of Israel servants for his work, but they [are] men of war, and heads of his captains, and heads of his charioteers, and of his 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 these [are] heads of the officers whom King Solomon has, two hundred and fifty who are rulers among 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 Solomon has brought up the daughter of Pharaoh from the City of David to the house that he built for her, for he said, “My wife does not dwell in the house of David king of Israel, for they are holy to whom the Ark of YHWH has come.”
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 has caused burnt-offerings to ascend to YHWH on the altar of YHWH that he 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.
even by the matter of a day in its day, to cause to ascend according to the command of Moses, on Sabbaths, and on new moons, and on appointed times, three times in a year—in the Celebration of Unleavened Things, and in the Celebration of Weeks, and in the Celebration of Shelters.
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 establishes, according to the ordinance of his father David, the divisions of the priests over their service, and of the Levites over their charges, to praise and to minister before the priests, according to the matter of a day in its day, and the gatekeepers in their divisions at every gate, for so [is] the command of David the man of God.
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 they have not turned aside [from] the command of the king concerning the priests and the Levites, in reference to any matter, and to 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.
And all the work of Solomon is prepared until the day of the foundation of the house of YHWH, and until its completion; the house of YHWH is perfect.
17 Apre sa, Salomon ale lavil Ezyongebè ak lavil Elat bò Lanmè Wouj la, nan pòsyon tè ki pou moun Edon yo.
Then Solomon has gone to Ezion-Geber, and to Elath, on the border of the sea, 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 Huram sends to him, by the hand of his servants, ships and servants knowing the sea, and they go with servants of Solomon to Ophir, and take four hundred and fifty talents of gold from there, and bring it to King Solomon.
