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,

And it came to pass when Solomon had finished building the house of the Lord, and the king's house, and all the work of Solomon, whatever he wished to perform,

2 SENYÈ a te parèt a Salomon yon dezyèm fwa, jan Li te parèt kote li nan Gabaon an.

that the Lord appeared to Solomon a second time, as he appeared in Gabaon.

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 the voice of your prayer, and your supplication which you made before me: I have done for you according to all your prayer: I have hallowed this house which you have built to put my name there for ever, and mine eyes and my heart shall be there always.

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 if you will walk before me as David your father walked, in holiness of heart and uprightness, and so as to do according to all that I commanded him, and shall keep my ordinances and my commandments:

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 will I establish the throne of your kingdom in Israel for ever, as I spoke to David your father, saying, There shall not fail you a man to rule in 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 you or your children do in any wise revolt from me, and do not keep my commandments and my ordinances, which Moses set before you, and you go and serve other gods, and worship them:

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 will I cut off Israel from the land which I have given them, and this house which I have consecrated to my name I will cast out of my sight; and Israel shall be a desolation and a byword to all nations.

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 this house, which is high, shall be [so that] every one that passes by it shall be amazed, and shall hiss; and they shall say, Therefore has the Lord done thus to this land, and to this house?

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 [men] shall say, Because they forsook the Lord their God, who brought out their fathers from Egypt, out of the house of bondage, and they attached themselves to strange gods, and worshipped them, and served them: therefore the Lord has brought this evil upon them. Then Solomon brought up the daughter of Pharao out of the city of David into his house which he built for himself in those days.

10 Li te vin rive vè fen ventan ke Salomon t ap bati de kay yo, kay SENYÈ a ak kay wa a,

[During] twenty years in which Solomon was building the two houses, the house of the Lord, and the house of the king,

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.

Chiram king of Tyre helped Solomon with cedar wood, and fir wood, and with gold, and all that he wished for: then the king gave Chiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee.

12 Konsa, Hiram te sòti Tyr pou vin wè vil ke Salomon te ba li yo, e yo pa t fè l kontan.

So Chiram departed from Tyre, and went into Galilee to see the cities which Solomon gave to him; and they pleased him not. And he said,

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 cities which you have given me, brother? And he called them Boundary until this day.

14 Epi Hiram te voye a wa a san ven talan lò.

And Chiram brought to Solomon a hundred and twenty 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.

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.

17 Konsa, Salomon te rebati Guézer, e piba Beth-Horon,

18 epi Balath avèk Tamar nan dezè a, nan peyi Juda,

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.

20 Tout pèp ki te retay Amoreyen yo, Etyen yo, Ferezyen yo, Evyen yo, Jebizyen yo, ki pa t nan fis Israël yo—

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

even that for which king Solomon built a ship in Gasion Gaber near Aelath on the shore of the extremity of the sea in the land of Edom.

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 Chiram sent in the ship together with the servants of Solomon servants of his own, mariners to row, men acquainted with the sea.

28 Yo te ale Ophir, yo te pran kat-san-ven talan an lò soti la e yo te pote bay Wa Salomon.

And they came to Sophira, and took thence a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and brought them to king Solomon.
