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 comes to pass, at Solomon’s finishing to build the house of YHWH, and the house of the king, and all the desire of Solomon that he delighted to do,
2 SENYÈ a te parèt a Salomon yon dezyèm fwa, jan Li te parèt kote li nan Gabaon an.
that YHWH appears to Solomon a second time, as He appeared to him in 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 YHWH says to him, “I have heard your prayer and your supplication with which you have made supplication before Me; I have hallowed this house that you have built to put My Name there for all time, and My eyes and My heart have been there [for] all the days.
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 you—if you walk before Me as your father David walked, in simplicity of heart, and in uprightness, to do according to all that I have commanded you, [and] you keep My statutes and My judgments,
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 have established the throne of your kingdom over Israel for all time, as I spoke to your father David, saying, A man of yours is never cut off from [being] 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,
If you at all turn back—you and your sons—from after Me, and do not keep My commands [and] My statutes that I have set before you, and have gone and served other gods, and bowed yourselves to 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 I have cut off Israel from the face of the ground that I have given to them, and the house that I have hallowed for My Name I send away from My presence, and Israel has been for an allegory and for a byword among all the 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?
as for this house [that] is high, everyone passing by it is astonished, and has hissed, and they have said, Why has YHWH done this 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 they have said, Because that they have forsaken their God YHWH, who brought out their fathers from the land of Egypt, and they lay hold on other gods, and bow themselves to them and serve them; therefore YHWH has brought all this calamity on them.”
10 Li te vin rive vè fen ventan ke Salomon t ap bati de kay yo, kay SENYÈ a ak kay wa a,
And it comes to pass, at the end of twenty years, that Solomon has built the two houses, the house of YHWH, 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.
Hiram king of Tyre has assisted Solomon with cedar-trees, and with fir-trees, and with gold, according to all his desire; then King Solomon gives to Hiram 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.
And Hiram comes out from Tyre to see the cities that Solomon has given to him, and they have not been right in his eyes,
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.
and he says, “What [are] these cities that you have given to me, my brother?” And one calls them the land of Cabul to this day.
14 Epi Hiram te voye a wa a san ven talan lò.
And Hiram sends one hundred and twenty talents of gold to the king.
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.
And this [is] the matter of the tribute that King Solomon has lifted up, to build the house of YHWH, and his own house, and Millo, and the wall of Jerusalem, and Hazor, and 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 has gone up and captures Gezer, and burns it with fire, and he has slain the Canaanite who is dwelling in the city, and gives it [as] presents to his daughter, wife of Solomon).
17 Konsa, Salomon te rebati Guézer, e piba Beth-Horon,
And Solomon builds Gezer, and the lower Beth-Horon,
18 epi Balath avèk Tamar nan dezè a, nan peyi Juda,
and Ba‘alath, and Tadmor in the wilderness, in the land,
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.
and all the cities of stores that King Solomon has, and the cities of the chariots, and the cities of the horsemen, and the desire of Solomon that he desired to build in Jerusalem, and in Lebanon, and in all 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—
The whole of the people that is left of the Amorite, the Hittite, the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Jebusite, who [are] not of the sons of Israel—
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 sons who are left behind them in the land, whom the sons of Israel have not been able to devote—he has even lifted up a tribute of service [on] them 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.
And Solomon has not appointed a servant out of the sons of Israel, for they [are] the men of war, and his servants, and his heads, and his captains, and the heads of his chariots, and his horsemen.
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.
These [are] the five hundred and fifty heads of the officers who [are] over the work of Solomon, those ruling among the people who are laboring in 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.
Only, the daughter of Pharaoh went up out of the City of David to her house that [Solomon] built for her; then he built Millo.
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.
And Solomon caused burnt-offerings and peace-offerings to ascend three times in a year on the altar that he built for YHWH, and he burned it as incense with that which [is] before YHWH, and finished the house.
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.
And King Solomon has made a navy in Ezion-Geber, that is beside Eloth, on the edge of the Sea of Suph, 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 Hiram sends his servants in the navy, shipmen knowing the sea, with servants of Solomon,
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 come to Ophir, and take four hundred and twenty talents of gold from there, and bring [it] to King Solomon.
