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 decided to build a house for the LORD’s name, and a house 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 counted out seventy thousand men to bear burdens, eighty thousand men who were stone cutters in the mountains, and three thousand and six hundred to oversee 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 to Huram the king of Tyre, saying, “As you dealt with David my father, and sent him cedars to build him a house in which to dwell, so deal 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.
Behold, I am about to build a house for the name of the LORD my God, to dedicate it to him, to burn before him incense of sweet spices, for the continual show bread, and for the burnt offerings morning and evening, on the Sabbaths, on the new moons, and on the set feasts of the LORD our God. This is an ordinance forever to 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 which I am building will be great, for our God is greater than all 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 him a house, since heaven and the heaven of heavens can’t contain him? Who am I then, that I should build him a house, except just to burn incense 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.
“Now therefore send me a man skilful to work in gold, in silver, in bronze, in iron, and in purple, crimson, and blue, and who knows how to engrave engravings, to be with the skilful men who are with me in Judah and in 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 trees, cypress trees, and algum trees out of Lebanon, for I know that your servants know how to cut timber in Lebanon. Behold, 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.
even to prepare me timber in abundance; for the house which I am about to build will be great and wonderful.
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.”
Behold, I will give to your servants, the cutters who cut timber, twenty thousand cors of beaten wheat, twenty thousand baths 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 Huram the king of Tyre answered in writing, which he sent to Solomon, “Because the LORD 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.
Huram continued, “Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, who made heaven and earth, who has given to David the king a wise son, endowed with discretion and understanding, who would build a house for the LORD and a house for his kingdom.
13 “Alò, mwen ap voye Huramabi, yon nonm abil avèk anpil bon konprann,
Now I have sent a skilful man, endowed with understanding, Huram-abi,
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.
the son of a woman of the daughters of Dan; and his father was a man of Tyre. He is skilful to work in gold, in silver, in bronze, in iron, in stone, in timber, in purple, in blue, in fine linen, and in crimson, also to engrave any kind of engraving and to devise any device, that there may be a place appointed to him with your skilful men, and with the skilful men of my lord 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 therefore, the wheat, the barley, the oil, and the wine which my lord has spoken of, let him send 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.”
and we will cut wood out of Lebanon, as much as you need. We will bring it to you in rafts by sea to Joppa; then you shall 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 Eretz-Israel, after the census with which David his father had counted them; and they found one hundred and fifty-three thousand and six hundred.
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 set seventy thousand of them to bear burdens, eighty thousand who were stone cutters in the mountains, and three thousand and six hundred overseers to assign the people their work.
