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,
At the end of twenty years, in which Solomon had built Yahweh’s house and his own house,
2 ke li te fin bati vil ke Huram te ba li yo, e li te etabli Izrayelit yo ladann.
Solomon built the cities which Huram 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.
Solomon went to Hamath Zobah, and prevailed against 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, and all the storage cities, which he 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;
Also he built Beth Horon the upper and Beth Horon the lower, 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.
and Baalath, and all the storage cities that Solomon had, and all the cities for his chariots, the cities for his horsemen, and all that Solomon desired to build for his pleasure in Jerusalem, in Lebanon, 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,
As for all the people who were left of the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites, who were 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.
of their children who were left after them in the land, whom the children of Israel didn’t consume—of them Solomon conscripted forced labor 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 of the children of Israel, Solomon made no servants for his work, but they were men of war, chief of his captains, and rulers of his chariots and of his horsemen.
10 Sila yo te chèf prensipal a Wa Salomon; de san senkant yo ki te dirijan sou pèp la.
These were the chief officers of King Solomon, even two-hundred fifty, who ruled over 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.”
Solomon brought up Pharaoh’s daughter out of David’s city to the house that he had built for her; for he said, “My wife shall not dwell in the house of David king of Israel, because the places where Yahweh’s ark has come are holy.”
12 Salomon te ofri ofrann brile bay SENYÈ a, sou lotèl ke li te bati devan galri a.
Then Solomon offered burnt offerings to Yahweh on Yahweh’s altar 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.
even as the duty of every day required, offering according to the commandment of Moses on the Sabbaths, on the new moons, and on the set feasts, three times per year, during the feast of unleavened bread, during the feast of weeks, and during the feast of booths.
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.
He appointed, according to the ordinance of David his father, the divisions of the priests to their service, and the Levites to their offices, to praise and to minister before the priests, as the duty of every day required, the doorkeepers also by their divisions at every gate, for David the man of God had so 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.
They didn’t depart from the commandment of the king to the priests and Levites concerning any matter or concerning 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 of Solomon was accomplished from the day of the foundation of Yahweh’s house until it was finished. So Yahweh’s house 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 seashore 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.
Huram sent him ships and servants who had knowledge of the sea by the hands of his servants; and they came with the servants of Solomon to Ophir, and brought from there four hundred fifty talents of gold, and brought them to King Solomon.
