2 Istwa 1

1 Alò Salomon, fis a David la te etabli li menm byen solid sou wayòm li an. SENYÈ a, Bondye li a, te avèk li e Li te egzalte li anpil.

Then Salomon the sonne of Dauid was confirmed in his kingdome: and the Lord his God was with him, and magnified him highly.

2 Salomon te pale a tout Israël, a kòmandan a dè milye yo e dè santèn yo, a jij yo e tout moun nan sila ki t ap dirije nan tout Israël yo, chèf lakay zansèt pa yo.

And Salomon spake vnto all Israel, to the captaines of thousandes, and of hundreths, and to the iudges, and to all the gouernours in all Israel, euen the chiefe fathers.

3 Konsa, Salomon avèk tout asanble a avèk li menm te monte nan wo plas ki te Gabaon an; paske tant asanble a Bondye ke Moïse, sèvitè SENYÈ a, te fè nan dezè a, te la.

So Salomon and all the Congregation with him went to the hie place that was at Gibeon: for there was the Tabernacle of the Congregation of God which Moses the seruant of the Lord had made in the wildernesse.

4 Sepandan, David te gen tan mennen fè monte lach Bondye a soti Kirjath-Jearim nan plas li te prepare pou li. Paske li te fè monte yon tant pou li Jérusalem.

But the Arke of God had Dauid brought vp from Kiriath-iearim, when Dauid had made preparation for it: for he had pitched a tent for it in Ierusalem.

5 Alò, lotèl an bwonz ke Betsaleel, fis a Uri a, te fè a te la devan tabènak SENYÈ a, e Salomon avèk asanble a te chache jwenn li.

Moreouer the brasen altar that Bezaleel the sonne of Vri, the sonne of Hur had made, did hee set before the Tabernacle of the Lord: and Salomon and the Congregation sought it.

6 Salomon te monte la devan SENYÈ a kote lotèl an bwonz nan tant asanble a, e li te ofri yon mil ofrann brile sou li.

And Salomon offred there before the Lord vpon the brasen altar that was in the Tabernacle of the Congregation: euen a thousand burnt offrings offred he vpon it.

7 Nan lannwit, Bondye te parèt a Salomon. Li te di l: “Mande M sa pou M ta ba ou.”

The same night did God appeare vnto Salomon, and sayde vnto him, Aske what I shall giue thee.

8 Salomon te reponn a Bondye: “Ou te aji avèk papa m David avèk anpil lanmou dous, e Ou te fè m wa nan plas li.

And Salomon sayde vnto God, Thou hast shewed great mercy vnto Dauid my father and hast made me to reigne in his stead.

9 Koulye a, O SENYÈ Bondye, Sa Ou te pwomèt a papa m nan, David, akonpli. Paske Ou te fè m wa sou yon pèp ki gran an kantite tankou pousyè latè.

Nowe therefore, O Lord God, let thy promise vnto Dauid my father be true: for thou hast made mee King ouer a great people, like to the dust of the earth.

10 Koulye a, ban mwen sajès avèk konesans, pou m kab antre sòti devan pèp sa a, paske se kilès ki kab gouvène gran pèp Ou sa a?”

Giue me now wisdome and knowledge, that I may go out and go in before this people: for who can iudge this thy great people?

11 Bondye te di a Salomon: “Akoz ou te gen sa nan tèt ou e ou pa t mande richès, ni byen, ni lonè, ni lavi a sila ki rayi ou yo, ni ou pa t menm mande pou yon vi long, men ou te mande pou kont ou sajès pou ou ta kab gouvène pèp Mwen an, sou sila Mwen te fè ou wa a,

And God sayde to Salomon, Because this was in thine heart, and thou hast not asked riches, treasures nor honour, nor the liues of thine enemies, neither yet hast asked long life, but hast asked for thee wisdome and knowledge that thou mightest iudge my people, ouer whome I haue made thee King,

12 sajès avèk konesans gen tan bay a ou menm. Epi Mwen va ba ou richès avèk byen, avèk lonè, tankou okenn nan wa avan ou yo pa t janmen genyen, ni sila ki va swiv ou yo.”

Wisdome and knowledge is granted vnto thee, and I will giue thee riches and treasures and honour, so that there hath not bene the like among the Kings which were before thee, neither after thee shall there be the like.

13 Konsa, Salomon te sòti nan kote wo ki te Gabaon an, li te soti nan tant asanble a, pou rive Jérusalem; e li te renye sou tout Israël.

Then Salomon came from the hie place, that was at Gibeon, to Ierusalem from before the Tabernacle of the Congregation, and reigned ouer Israel.

14 Salomon te vin gen cha avèk chevalye. Li te gen mil-kat-san cha avèk douz-mil chevalye e li te estasyone yo nan vil cha yo epi ak wa a nan Jérusalem.

And Salomon gathered the charets and horesemen: and he had a thousand and foure hundreth charets, and twelue thousande horsemen, whome he placed in the charet cities, and with the King at Ierusalem.

15 Wa a te fè ajan avèk lò vin an kantite Jérusalem, menm jan avèk wòch, e li te fè bwa sèd vin anpil tankou bwa sikomò nan ba plèn nan.

And the King gaue siluer and gold at Ierusalem as stones, and gaue cedar trees as the wilde figge trees, that are abundantly in the playne.

16 Cheval Salomon yo te enpòte soti an Égypte ak Kue. Komèsan a wa yo te achte yo nan Kue.

Also Salomon had horses brought out of Egypt and fine linen: the Kings marchants receiued the fine linen for a price.

17 Yo te enpòte cha yo soti an Égypte pou sis-san sik ajan chak, cheval yo pou san-senkant chak, e pa menm mwayen an, yo te fè distribisyon a tout wa Etyen yo avèk wa Siryen yo.

They came vp also and brought out of Egypt some charet, worth sixe hundreth shekels of siluer, that is an horse for an hundreth and fiftie: and thus they brought horses to all the Kings of the Hittites, and to the Kings of Aram by their meanes.
