< 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 at the end of twenty years after Solomon had 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.
He built the cities which Hiram had given to Solomon, and caused the children of Israel to dwell there.
3 Epi Salomon te ale kote Hamath-Tsoba e te kaptire li.
He went also into Emath Suba, and possessed it.
4 Li te bati Thadmor nan dezè a ak tout vil depo ke li te bati nan Hamath yo.
And he built Palmira in the desert, and he built other strong cities 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 Beth-horon the upper, and Beth-horon the nether, walled cities with Rates and bars and locks.
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.
Balaath also and all the strong cities that were Solomon’s, and all the cities of the chariots, and the cities of the horsemen. All that Solomon had a mind, and designed, he built in Jerusalem and in Libanus, and in all 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,
All the people that were left of the Hethites, and the Amorrhites, and the Pherezites, and the Hevites, and the Jebusites, that were not of the stock 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.
Of their children, and of the posterity, whom the children of Israel had not slain, Solomon made to be the tributaries, unto 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 of the children of Israel he set none to serve in the king’s works: for they were men of war, and chief captains, and rulers of his chariots and horsemen.
10 Sila yo te chèf prensipal a Wa Salomon; de san senkant yo ki te dirijan sou pèp la.
And all the chief captains of king Solomon’s army were two hundred and fifty, who taught 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 he removed the daughter of Pharao from the city of David, to the house which he had built for her. For the king said: My wife shall not dwell in the house of David king of Israel, for it is sanctified: because the ark of the Lord came into it.
12 Salomon te ofri ofrann brile bay SENYÈ a, sou lotèl ke li te bati devan galri a.
Then Solomon offered holocausts to the Lord upon the altar of the Lord which he had built before the porch,
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.
That every day an offering might be made on it according to the ordinance of Moses, in the sabbaths, and on the new moons, and on the festival days three times a year, that is to say, in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast of weeks, and in 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 appointed according to the order of David his father the offices of the priests in their ministries: and the Levites in their order to give praise, and minister before the priests according to the duty of every day: and the porters in their divisions by gate and gate: for so David the man of God had commanded.
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.
And the priests and Levites departed not from the king’s commandments, as to any thing that he had commanded, and as to the keeping of 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.
Solomon had all charges prepared, from the day that he founded the house of the Lord, until the day wherein he finished it.
17 Konsa, Salomon te ale kote Etsjon-Guéber ak Élath sou lanmè peyi Édom an.
Then Solomon went to Asiongaber, and to Ailath, on the coast of the Red Sea, which is in the land 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.
And Hiram sent him ships by the hands of his servants, and skillful mariners, and they went with Solomon’s servants to Ophir, and they took thence four hundred and fifty talents of gold, and brought it to king Solomon.
