1 Wa 9
1 Alò, li te vin rive ke lè Salomon te fin bati kay SENYÈ a, ak kay wa a ak tout sa ke Salomon te vle fè,
Now when Solomon had finished building the house of the LORD and the royal palace, and had achieved all that he had desired to do,
2 SENYÈ a te parèt a Salomon yon dezyèm fwa, jan Li te parèt kote li nan Gabaon an.
the LORD appeared to him a second time, as He had appeared to him at Gibeon.
3 SENYÈ a te di li: “Mwen fin tande priyè ou ak siplikasyon ke ou te fè devan M nan. Mwen te konsakre kay sa a ke ou te bati nan mete non Mwen la pou tout tan. Zye Mwen avèk kè Mwen va la pou tout tan ale nèt.
And the LORD said to him: “I have heard your prayer and petition before Me. I have consecrated this temple you have built by putting My Name there forever; My eyes and My heart will be there for all time.
4 E selon ou menm, si ou va mache devan Mwen tankou papa ou, David te mache a, nan entegrite a kè ou, avèk ladwati, e fè selon tout sa ke M te kòmande ou yo, e si ou va kenbe règleman Mwen yo, avèk òdonans Mwen yo,
And as for you, if you walk before Me as your father David walked, with a heart of integrity and uprightness, doing all I have commanded you, and if you keep My statutes and ordinances,
5 alò, Mwen va etabli twòn wayòm ou sou Israël pou tout tan, jis jan ke M te pwomèt a papa ou, David la, lè M te di: ‘Ou p ap janm manke yon moun sou twòn Israël la.’
then I will establish your royal throne over Israel forever, as I promised your father David when I said, ‘You will never fail to have a man on the throne of Israel.’
6 Men si ou menm, oswa fis ou yo, anverite, vire kite Mwen e pa kenbe kòmandman Mwen yo avèk règleman Mwen ke M te mete devan nou yo; epi ale sèvi lòt dye pou adore yo,
But if indeed you or your sons turn away from following Me and do not keep the commandments and statutes I have set before you, and if you go off to serve and worship other gods,
7 alò, Mwen va koupe, retire Israël soti nan peyi ke M te ba yo a, ak kay ke M te konsakre a non Mwen an. Mwen va retire li devan zye m. Konsa, Israël va devni yon pwovèb ak yon pawòl rizib pami tout pèp yo.
then I will cut off Israel from the land that I have given them, and I will banish from My presence this temple I have sanctified for My Name. Then Israel will become an object of scorn and ridicule among all peoples.
8 Epi kay sila a va devni yon pil ranblè. Tout moun ki pase va sezi e soufle e yo va di: “Poukisa SENYÈ a te fè sa a peyi ak kay sa a?
And when this temple has become a heap of rubble, all who pass by it will be appalled and will hiss and say, ‘Why has the LORD done such a thing to this land and to this temple?’
9 Epi konsa yo va reponn: ‘Akoz yo te abandone SENYÈ a, Bondye pa yo a, ki te mennen zansèt pa yo sòti nan peyi Égypte la. Yo te adopte lòt dye pou te adore yo ak sèvi yo. Pou sa, SENYÈ a te fè rive tout gwo twoub sa a sou yo.’”
And others will answer, ‘Because they have forsaken the LORD their God who brought their fathers out of the land of Egypt, and have embraced other gods, worshiping and serving them—because of this, the LORD has brought all this disaster upon them.’”
10 Li te vin rive vè fen ventan ke Salomon t ap bati de kay yo, kay SENYÈ a ak kay wa a,
Now at the end of the twenty years during which Solomon built these two houses, the house of the LORD and the royal palace,
11 (Hiram, wa Tyr la te founi Salomon avèk bwa sèd ak bwa pichpen avèk lò, selon sa ke li te vle a), alò, Wa Salomon te bay Hiram ven vil nan peyi Galilée.
King Solomon gave twenty towns in the land of Galilee to Hiram king of Tyre, who had supplied him with cedar and cypress logs and gold for his every desire.
12 Konsa, Hiram te sòti Tyr pou vin wè vil ke Salomon te ba li yo, e yo pa t fè l kontan.
So Hiram went out from Tyre to inspect the towns that Solomon had given him, but he was not pleased with them.
13 Li te di: “Ki vil sa yo ke ou te ban mwen yo, frè mwen?” Pou rezon sa a, yo te ba yo non a peyi a Cabul menm rive jis jodi a.
“What are these towns you have given me, my brother?” asked Hiram, and he called them the Land of Cabul, as they are called to this day.
14 Epi Hiram te voye a wa a san ven talan lò.
And Hiram had sent the king 120 talents of gold.
15 Alò, sa se istwa a travay kòve ke Wa Salomon te fè leve pou bati kay SENYÈ a, lakay pa li a, ak Sitadèl Millo a, miray Jérusalem nan, Hatsor, Méguiddo ak Guézer.
This is the account of the forced labor that King Solomon imposed to build the house of the LORD, his own palace, the supporting terraces, and the wall of Jerusalem, as well as Hazor, Megiddo, and Gezer.
16 Paske Farawon, wa Égypte la te monte, kaptire Guézer. Li te brile li avèk dife, e li te touye Kananeyen ki te rete nan vil yo. Epi li te ba li kòm dwa maryaj fi li a, madanm a Salomon.
Pharaoh king of Egypt had attacked and captured Gezer. He had set it on fire, killed the Canaanites who lived in the city, and given it as a dowry to his daughter, Solomon’s wife.
17 Konsa, Salomon te rebati Guézer, e piba Beth-Horon,
So Solomon rebuilt Gezer, Lower Beth-horon,
18 epi Balath avèk Tamar nan dezè a, nan peyi Juda,
Baalath, and Tamar in the Wilderness of Judah,
19 ak tout vil depo ke Salomon te genyen yo, menm vil pou cha li ak vil pou chevalye pa li yo avèk tout sa ki te fè Salomon plezi pou bati Jérusalem, nan Liban ak nan tout teritwa a anba règ pa li.
as well as all the store cities that Solomon had for his chariots and horses —whatever he desired to build in Jerusalem, Lebanon, and throughout the land of his dominion.
20 Tout pèp ki te retay Amoreyen yo, Etyen yo, Ferezyen yo, Evyen yo, Jebizyen yo, ki pa t nan fis Israël yo—
As for all the people who remained of the Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites (the people who were not Israelites)—
21 ak desandan yo ki te swiv yo, nan peyi ke fis Israël yo pa t kapab fin detwi nèt—soti nan yo, Salomon te leve ouvriye kòve yo, menm jiska jodi a.
their descendants who remained in the land, those whom the Israelites were unable to devote to destruction —Solomon conscripted these people to be forced laborers, as they are to this day.
22 Men Salomon pa t fè esklav yo pami fis Israël yo, paske yo te sèvi kòm mesye lagè yo, sèvitè li yo, prens li yo, kapitèn li yo, kòmandan a cha li yo, avèk chevalye li yo.
But Solomon did not consign any of the Israelites to slavery, because they were his men of war, his servants, his officers, his captains, and the commanders of his chariots and cavalry.
23 Sila yo se te chèf ofisye ki te sou zèv Salomon yo; senk-san-senkant ki te chèf sou moun ki te fè travay la yo.
They were also the chief officers over Solomon’s projects: 550 supervisors over the people who did the work.
24 Men fi Farawon an te monte soti nan vil David la pou rive nan kay ki te bati pou li a. Epi konsa, Salomon te bati Sitadèl Millo a.
As soon as Pharaoh’s daughter had come up from the City of David to the palace that Solomon had built for her, he built the supporting terraces.
25 Alò, twa fwa pa ane, Salomon te ofri ofrann brile avèk ofrann lapè sou lotèl ke li te bati bay SENYÈ a. Li te brile lansan sou yo, sou lotèl ki te devan SENYÈ a. Konsa, li te fini kay la.
Three times a year Solomon offered burnt offerings and peace offerings on the altar he had built for the LORD, burning incense with them before the LORD. So he completed the temple.
26 Wa Salomon osi te bati yon kantite gwo bato nan Etsjon-Guéber, ki te toupre Éloth arebò Lamè Wouj la, nan peyi Édom an.
King Solomon also assembled a fleet of ships at Ezion-geber, which is near Eloth in Edom, on the shore of the Red Sea.
27 Epi Hiram te voye sèvitè li yo avèk bato yo, moun lanmè ki te konnen afè lanmè, ansanm avèk sèvitè a Salomon yo.
And Hiram sent his servants, men who knew the sea, to serve in the fleet with Solomon’s servants.
28 Yo te ale Ophir, yo te pran kat-san-ven talan an lò soti la e yo te pote bay Wa Salomon.
They sailed to Ophir and imported gold from there—420 talents —and delivered it to Solomon.
