2 Istwa 8
1 Alò, li te vin rive nan fen ven ane pandan sila yo Salomon te bati kay SENYÈ a avèk pwòp kay li a,
Now at the end of the twenty years during which Solomon had built the house of the LORD and his own palace,
2 ke li te fin bati vil ke Huram te ba li yo, e li te etabli Izrayelit yo ladann.
Solomon rebuilt the cities Hiram had given him and settled Israelites there.
3 Epi Salomon te ale kote Hamath-Tsoba e te kaptire li.
Then Solomon went to Hamath-zobah and captured it.
4 Li te bati Thadmor nan dezè a ak tout vil depo ke li te bati nan Hamath yo.
He built Tadmor in the wilderness, in addition to all the store cities that he had built in Hamath.
5 Anplis, li te bati Wo Beth-Horon an avèk Ba Beth-Horon an, vil fòtifye avèk miray, pòtay ak fè fòje;
He rebuilt Upper and Lower Beth-horon as fortified cities with walls, gates, and bars,
6 avèk Baalath ak tout vil depo ke Salomon te genyen yo, tout vil pou cha li yo avèk vil pou chevalye yo ak tout sa ki te fè kè Salomon kontan pou bati nan Jérusalem, nan Liban ak nan tout peyi ki te anba règleman li yo.
as well as Baalath, all the store cities that belonged to Solomon, and all the cities for his chariots and horses —whatever he desired to build in Jerusalem, Lebanon, and throughout the land of his dominion.
7 Tout moun nan pèp la ki te rete nan Etyen yo, Amoreyen yo, Ferezyen yo, Evyen yo, avèk Jebizyen ki pa t yon pati nan Israël,
As for all the people who remained of the Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites, Hivites, and Jebusites (the people who were not Israelites)—
8 ki te sòti nan desandan pa yo ki te kite nan peyi, ke fis Israël yo pa t detwi yo, yo menm, Salomon te fè yo leve kòm ouvriye kòve ki fèt jis rive jodi a.
their descendants who remained in the land, those whom the Israelites were unable to destroy—Solomon conscripted these people to be forced laborers, as they are to this day.
9 Men Salomon pa t fè esklav pou travay li pami fis Israël yo. Yo te mesye lagè, chèf kapitèn li avèk kòmandan a cha li yo ak chevalye li yo.
But Solomon did not consign any of the Israelites to slave labor, because they were his men of war, his officers and captains, and the commanders of his chariots and cavalry.
10 Sila yo te chèf prensipal a Wa Salomon; de san senkant yo ki te dirijan sou pèp la.
They were also the chief officers for King Solomon: 250 supervisors.
11 Salomon te mennen fè monte fi a Farawon an soti Jérusalem pou rive nan kay ke li te bati pou li a, paske li te di: “Madanm mwen p ap rete lakay David, wa Israël la, akoz plas yo kote lach SENYÈ a te ye a sen.”
Solomon brought the daughter of Pharaoh up from the City of David to the palace he had built for her. For he said, “My wife must not live in the house of David king of Israel, because the places the ark of the LORD has entered are holy.”
12 Salomon te ofri ofrann brile bay SENYÈ a, sou lotèl ke li te bati devan galri a.
At that time Solomon offered burnt offerings to the LORD on the altar of the LORD he had built in front of the portico.
13 Sa te fèt selon règleman a chak jou. Li te ofri yo selon lòd Moïse pou Saba yo, nouvèl lin yo, fèt apwente yo twa fwa pa lan yo—Fèt Pen San Ledven an, Fèt Semèn Yo, ak Fèt Tonèl Yo.
He observed the daily requirement for offerings according to the commandment of Moses for Sabbaths, New Moons, and the three annual appointed feasts—the Feast of Unleavened Bread, the Feast of Weeks, and the Feast of Tabernacles.
14 Alò, selon règleman a papa li yo, David, li te chwazi divizyon a prèt yo pou sèvis pa yo, Levit yo pou devwa pa yo, pou fè lwanj e fè sèvis devan prèt yo selon règ a chak jou a, e gadyen pòtay pa divizyon pa yo nan chak pòtay. Paske se konsa David, nonm Bondye a, te konn kòmande sa.
In keeping with the ordinances of his father David, Solomon appointed the divisions of the priests over their service, and the Levites for their duties to offer praise and to minister before the priests according to the daily requirement. He also appointed gatekeepers by their divisions at each gate, for this had been the command of David, the man of God.
15 Epi yo pa t varye menm nan lòd wa a ak prèt yo avèk Levit yo nan okenn fason ki te konsène kay depo trezò yo.
They did not turn aside from the king’s command regarding the priests or the Levites or any matter concerning the treasuries.
16 Konsa, tout travay a Salomon an te akonpli depi jou lakay SENYÈ a te etabli a, jiskaske li te fini. Konsa, lakay SENYÈ a te konplete.
Thus all the work of Solomon was carried out, from the day the foundation was laid for the house of the LORD until it was finished. So the house of the LORD was completed.
17 Konsa, Salomon te ale kote Etsjon-Guéber ak Élath sou lanmè peyi Édom an.
Then Solomon went to Ezion-geber and to Eloth on the coast of Edom.
18 Epi Huram, pa sèvitè li yo te voye bato kote li avèk sèvitè ki te konnen lanmè yo. Yo te ale avèk sèvitè a Salomon yo nan Ophir e yo te pran soti la, kat-san-senkant talan lò pou te pote yo kote Wa Salomon an.
So Hiram sent him ships captained by his servants, along with crews of experienced sailors. They went with Solomon’s servants to Ophir and acquired from there 450 talents of gold, which they delivered to King Solomon.
