2 Istwa 2
1 Alò, Salomon te deside bati yon kay pou non SENYÈ a ak yon palè wayal pou pwòp tèt li.
Now Solomon commanded the building of a house for Yahweh's name and the building of a palace for his kingdom.
2 Pou sa, Salomon te chwazi swasann-di-mil mesye pou pote chaj, katreven-mil mesye pou taye wòch nan mòn yo, e twa-mil-sis-san pou sipèvize.
Solomon assigned seventy thousand men to carry loads, and eighty thousand men as stonecutters in the mountains, and 3,600 men to supervise them.
3 Salomon te voye kote Huram, wa Tyr la. Li te di: “Jan ou te aji avèk David la, papa m nan, Ou te voye ba li bwa sèd pou bati yon kay pou li ta rete ladann. Konsa, fè sa pou mwen.
Solomon sent a message to Hiram, the king of Tyre, saying, “As you did with David my father, sending him cedar logs to build a house to live in, do the same with me.
4 Gade byen, mwen prè pou bati yon kay pou non SENYÈ a, Bondye a, pou l dedye a Li menm, pou brile lansan santi bon devan L, pou plase pen konsakre tout tan e pou ofri ofrann brile ni nan maten, ni nan aswè, nan Saba avèk nouvèl lin ak nan fèt etabli a SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, sila kòm egzije jis pou tout tan an Israël.
See, I am about to build a house for the name of Yahweh my God, to set it apart to him, to burn incense of sweet spices before him, to set out the bread of the presence, and for the burnt offerings morning and evening, on the Sabbaths and on the new moons, and on the appointed feasts for Yahweh our God. This is forever, for Israel.
5 “Kay ke m prè pou bati a va tèlman gran; paske pi gran se Bondye pa nou an, ke tout lòt dye yo.
The house that I will build will be very large, for our God is greater than all other gods.
6 Men se kilès ki kab bati yon kay pou Li, paske syèl yo avèk pi wo syèl yo pa kab kenbe Li? Pou sa, se kilès mwen ye, pou mwen ta dwe bati yon kay pou Li, sof ke pou brile lansan devan L.
But who is able to build God a house, since the entire universe and even heaven itself cannot contain him? Who am I to build him a house, except to burn sacrifices before him?
7 “Alò, voye ban mwen yon nonm abil pou travay an lò, ajan, bwonz, fè ak an twal mov, kramwazi, avèk vyolèt e yon nonm ki konn grave, pou travay avèk mesye kapab ke m genyen Juda avèk Jérusalem, ke papa m, David te chwazi yo.
So send me a man who is skilled at work in gold, silver, bronze, iron, and in purple, crimson, and blue wool, a man who knows how to make all kinds of engraved wood. He will be with the skilled men who are with me in Judah and Jerusalem, whom David my father provided.
8 “Anplis, voye ban mwen bwa sèd, bwa sipre, avèk bwa sandal; twòn yo k ap sòti nan Liban, paske mwen konnen ke sèvitè ou yo konnen jan pou yo koupe bwa Liban yo. Èpi anverite, sèvitè mwen yo va travay avèk sèvitè pa w yo,
Send me also cedar, cypress, and algum trees from Lebanon, for I know that your servants know how to cut timber in Lebanon. See, my servants will be with your servants,
9 pou prepare bwa konstriksyon pou mwen an gran kantite. Pwiske kay ke mwen prè pou bati a va yon gran mèvèy.
in order to prepare for me timber in abundance, for the house which I am about to build will be great and marvelous.
10 Alò, gade byen, mwen va bay a sèvitè ou yo, mesye forè ki koupe bwa konstriksyon yo, ven-mil barik ble kraze ven-mil barik lòj, ven-mil galon diven avèk ven-mil galon lwil.”
See, I will give to your servants, the men who will cut the timber, twenty thousand cors of ground wheat, twenty thousand cors of barley, twenty thousand baths of wine, and twenty thousand baths of oil.”
11 Huram, wa Tyr la, te reponn nan yon lèt voye bay Salomon: “Akoz SENYÈ a renmen pèp Li a, Li te fè ou wa sou yo.”
Then Hiram, the king of Tyre, answered in writing, which he sent to Solomon: “Because Yahweh loves his people, he has made you king over them.”
12 Konsa, Huram te kontinye: “Beni se SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la, ki te fè syèl la avèk tè a, ki te bay Wa David yon fis ki saj, plen avèk pridans, avèk bon konprann, ki va bati yon kay pou SENYÈ a, avèk yon palè wayal pou li menm.
In addition, Hiram said, “Blessed be Yahweh, the God of Israel, who made heaven and earth, who has given to David the king a wise son, gifted with prudence and understanding, who will build a house for Yahweh and a palace for himself.
13 “Alò, mwen ap voye Huramabi, yon nonm abil avèk anpil bon konprann,
Now I have sent a skillful man, Huram-Abi, who is gifted with understanding.
14 fis a yon fanm a Dan avèk yon papa a Tyriens, ki konnen jan pou travay an lò, ajan, bwonz, fè, wòch ak bwa; anplis, avèk twal mov, vyolèt, materyo wouj, pou fè tout kalite bagay grave yo, pou swiv nenpòt plan ke li resevwa, pou travay avèk mesye a kapasite pa w yo, avèk sila a mèt mwen, ak papa ou, David.
He is the son of a woman of the daughters of Dan. His father was a man from Tyre. He is skilled at work in gold, silver, bronze, iron, stone, and in timber, and in purple, blue, and crimson wool, and fine linen. He is also skilled in making any kind of engraving and in making any kind of design. Let a place be made for him among your skilled workers, and with those of my master, David, your father.
15 “Alò, pou sa, kite mèt mwen an voye kote sèvitè li yo ble avèk lòj, lwil ak diven sou sa li te pale yo.
Now then, the wheat and the barley, the oil and the wine, of which my master has spoken, let him send these things to his servants.
16 Nou va koupe nenpòt bwa konstriksyon ke ou bezwen soti nan Liban pou pote ba ou ranje mare ansanm sou lanmè pou rive Japho, pou ou kab pote l monte Jérusalem.”
We will cut wood from Lebanon, as much wood as you need. We will take it to you as rafts by sea to Joppa, and you will carry it up to Jerusalem.”
17 Salomon te fè kontwòl a tout etranje ki te nan peyi Israël yo, pou swiv gran kontwòl ke papa li, David te fè a; epi yo te jwenn san-senkant-twa-mil-sis-san moun.
Solomon counted all the foreigners who were in the land of Israel, following the method that David, his father, had counted them. They were found to be 153,600.
18 Li te chwazi swasann-di-mil nan yo pou pote chaj yo, katreven mil nan yo pou taye wòch nan mòn yo e twa-mil-sis-san sipèvizè pou fè moun yo travay.
He assigned seventy thousand of them to carry loads, eighty thousand to be stonecutters in the mountains, and 3,600 to be supervisors to put the people to work.
