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 cometh to pass, at the end of twenty years, that Solomon hath built the house of Jehovah, and his own house.
2 ke li te fin bati vil ke Huram te ba li yo, e li te etabli Izrayelit yo ladann.
As to the cities that Huram hath given to Solomon, Solomon hath built them, and there he causeth the sons of Israel to dwell.
3 Epi Salomon te ale kote Hamath-Tsoba e te kaptire li.
And Solomon goeth to Hamath-Zobah, and layeth hold upon it;
4 Li te bati Thadmor nan dezè a ak tout vil depo ke li te bati nan Hamath yo.
and he buildeth Tadmor in the wilderness, and all the cities of store that he hath 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;
And he buildeth Beth-Horon the upper, and Beth-Horon the lower — cities of defence, with walls, two-leaved doors, and bar —
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 cities of store that Solomon had, and all the cities of the chariot, and the cities of the horsemen, and all the desire of Solomon that he desired to build in Jerusalem, and 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,
All the people who are left of the Hittite, and the Amorite, and the Perizzite, and the Hivite, and the Jebusite, 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.
of their sons who have been left after them in the land, whom the sons of Israel consumed not — doth Solomon lift up a tribute 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.
And none of the sons of Israel hath Solomon made servants for his work, but they [are] men of war, and heads of his captains, and heads of his charioteers, and of his horsemen;
10 Sila yo te chèf prensipal a Wa Salomon; de san senkant yo ki te dirijan sou pèp la.
and these [are] heads of the officers whom king Solomon hath, two hundred and fifty who are rulers 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 the daughter of Pharaoh hath Solomon brought up from the city of David to the house that he built for her, for he said, 'My wife doth not dwell in the house of David king of Israel, for they are holy unto whom hath come the ark of Jehovah.'
12 Salomon te ofri ofrann brile bay SENYÈ a, sou lotèl ke li te bati devan galri a.
Then hath Solomon caused to ascend burnt-offerings to Jehovah on the altar of Jehovah that he 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 by the matter of a day in its day, to cause to ascend according to the command of Moses, on sabbaths, and on new moons, and on appointed seasons, three times in a year — in the feast of unleavened things, and in the feast of weeks, and in 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.
And he establisheth, according to the ordinance of David his father, the courses of the priests over their service, and of the Levites over their charges, to praise and to minister over-against the priests, according to the matter of a day in its day, and the gatekeepers in their courses at gate and gate, for so [is] 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.
And they have not turned aside [from] the command of the king concerning the priests and the Levites, in reference to any matter, and 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.
And all the work of Solomon is prepared till the day of the foundation of the house of Jehovah, and till its completion; perfect is the house of Jehovah.
17 Konsa, Salomon te ale kote Etsjon-Guéber ak Élath sou lanmè peyi Édom an.
Then hath Solomon gone to Ezion-Geber, and unto Elath, on the border of the sea, 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 Huram sendeth to him, by the hand of his servants, ships and servants knowing the sea, and they go with servants of Solomon to Ophir, and take thence four hundred and fifty talents of gold, and bring in unto king Solomon.
