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,
And it came to pass after twenty years, in which Solomon built the house of the Lord, and his own house,
2 ke li te fin bati vil ke Huram te ba li yo, e li te etabli Izrayelit yo ladann.
that Solomon rebuilt the cities which Chiram had given to Solomon, and caused the children of Israel to dwell in them.
3 Epi Salomon te ale kote Hamath-Tsoba e te kaptire li.
And Solomon came to Baesoba, and fortified it.
4 Li te bati Thadmor nan dezè a ak tout vil depo ke li te bati nan Hamath yo.
And he built Thoedmor in the wilderness, and all the strong cities which he built in Emath.
5 Anplis, li te bati Wo Beth-Horon an avèk Ba Beth-Horon an, vil fòtifye avèk miray, pòtay ak fè fòje;
And he built Baethoron the upper, and Baethoron the lower, strong cities, —they had 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.
and Balaath, and all the strong cities which Solomon had, and all his chariot cities, and cities of horsemen, and all things that Solomon desired according to his desire of building, in Jerusalem, and in Libanus, and in all his kingdom.
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 that was left of the Chettites, and the Amorites, and the Pherezites, and the Evites, and the Jebusites, who are not of Israel,
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.
but were of the children of them whom the children Israel destroyed not, that were left after them in the land, even them did Solomon make tributaries 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 make any of the children of Israel servants in his kingdom; for, behold, [they were] warriors and rulers, and mighty [men], and captains of chariots and horsemen.
10 Sila yo te chèf prensipal a Wa Salomon; de san senkant yo ki te dirijan sou pèp la.
And these are the chiefs of the officers of king Solomon, two hundred and fifty overseeing the work among the people.
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.”
And Solomon brought up the daughter of Pharao from the city of David to the house which he had built for her: for he said, My wife shall not dwell in the city of David, the king of Israel, for [the place] is holy into which the ark of the Lord has entered.
12 Salomon te ofri ofrann brile bay SENYÈ a, sou lotèl ke li te bati devan galri a.
Then Solomon offered up to the Lord whole-burnt-offerings on the altar which he had built to the Lord before the temple,
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.
according to the daily rate, to offer up [sacrifices] according to the commandments of Moses, on the sabbaths, and at the new moons, and at the feasts, three times in the year, at the feast of unleavened bread, and at the feast of weeks, and at 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.
And he established, according to the order of his father David, the courses of the priests, and [that] according to their public ministrations: and the Levites [were appointed] over their charges, to praise and minister before the priests according to the daily order: and the porters were appointed according to their courses to the different gates: for thus [were] the commandments 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 transgressed not the commandments of the king concerning the priests and the Levites with regard to everything else, and with regard to the treasures.
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.
Now all the work had been prepared from the day when the foundation was laid, until Solomon finished the house of the Lord.
17 Konsa, Salomon te ale kote Etsjon-Guéber ak Élath sou lanmè peyi Édom an.
Then Solomon went to Gasion Gaber, and to Aelath near the sea in the land of Idumea.
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.
And Chiram sent by the hand of his servants ships, and servants skilled in naval affairs; and they went with the servants of Solomon to Sophira, and brought thence four hundred and fifty talents of gold, and they came to king Solomon.
