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,
After Solomon had finished building the house of Yahweh and the king's palace, and after he had accomplished all that he wanted to do,
2 SENYÈ a te parèt a Salomon yon dezyèm fwa, jan Li te parèt kote li nan Gabaon an.
Yahweh appeared to Solomon 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.
Then Yahweh said to him, “I have heard your prayer and your request that you have made before me. I have set apart this house, which you have built, to myself, to put 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,
As for you, if you walk before me as David your father walked in integrity of heart and in uprightness, obeying all that I have commanded you and keeping my statutes and my decrees,
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 the throne of your kingdom over Israel forever, as I promised David your father, saying, 'A descendant of yours will never fail to be 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 you turn away, you or your children, and do not keep my commandments and my statutes that I have placed before you, and if you go and worship other gods and bow down 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 will I cut off Israel from off the ground that I have given them; and this house that I have set apart to my name, I will cast it out of my sight, and Israel will become an example to be mocked and an object of 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?
This temple will become a heap of ruins, and everyone who passes by it will be shocked and will hiss. They will ask, 'Why has Yahweh 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.’”
Others will answer, 'Because they forsook Yahweh, their God, who had brought their ancestors out of the land of Egypt, and they laid hold of other gods and bowed down to them and worshiped them. That is why Yahweh has brought all this disaster 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,
It came about at the end of twenty years that Solomon had finished building the two buildings, the temple of Yahweh and the king's 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.
Now Hiram, the king of Tyre, had furnished Solomon with cedar and cypress trees, and with gold—all that Solomon desired—so King Solomon gave 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.
Hiram came out from Tyre to see the cities that Solomon had given him, but they did not please him.
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.
So Hiram said, “What cities are these which you have given me, my brother?” Hiram called them the Land of Kabul, which they are still called today.
14 Epi Hiram te voye a wa a san ven talan lò.
Hiram had sent to 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 which King Solomon imposed to build the temple of Yahweh and his own palace, the Millo, 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 had gone up and taken Gezer. He burned it and killed the Canaanites in the city. Then Pharaoh gave the city to his daughter, Solomon's wife, as a wedding gift.
17 Konsa, Salomon te rebati Guézer, e piba Beth-Horon,
So Solomon rebuilt Gezer and Beth Horon the Lower,
18 epi Balath avèk Tamar nan dezè a, nan peyi Juda,
Baalath and Tamar in the wilderness in the land 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.
and all the store cities that he possessed, and the cities for his chariots and the cities for his horsemen, and whatever he wished to build for his pleasure in Jerusalem, in Lebanon, and in all the lands under his rule.
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 were left of the Amorites, the Hittites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who were not of the people 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 descendants who were left after them in the land, whom the people of Israel were not able to totally destroy—Solomon made them into forced laborers, which 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.
However, Solomon made no forced laborers of the people of Israel. Instead, they became his soldiers and his servants, his officials, and his officers and commanders of his chariot forces 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 were also the chief officers managing the supervisors who were over Solomon's works, 550 of them, who supervised 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.
Pharaoh's daughter moved from the city of David to the house that Solomon had built for her. Later, Solomon built the 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.
Three times each year Solomon offered burnt offerings and peace offerings on the altar that he built for Yahweh, burning incense with them on the altar that was before Yahweh. So he completed the temple and was now using it.
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 built a fleet of ships in Ezion Geber, which is near Elath on the shore of the Red 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.
Hiram sent servants to Solomon's fleet, sailors who were familiar with the sea, with Solomon's own 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 went to Ophir with servants of Solomon. From there they brought back 420 talents of gold for King Solomon.
