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.
Solomon the son of David was strengthened in his kingdom, and Jehovah his God was with him, and magnified him exceedingly.
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.
Solomon spoke to all Israel, to the captains of thousands and of hundreds, and to the judges, and to every prince in all Israel, the heads of the ancestral houses.
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 Solomon, and all the assembly with him, went to the high place that was at Gibeon; for there was the Tent of Meeting of God, which Moses the servant of Jehovah had made in the wilderness.
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 David had brought the ark of God up from Kiriath Jearim to the place that David had prepared for it; for he had pitched a tent for it at Jerusalem.
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.
Moreover the bronze altar, that Bezalel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, was there before the tabernacle of Jehovah: and Solomon and the assembly were seeking counsel there.
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.
Solomon went up there to the bronze altar before Jehovah, which was at the Tent of Meeting, and offered one thousand burnt offerings on it.
7 Nan lannwit, Bondye te parèt a Salomon. Li te di l: “Mande M sa pou M ta ba ou.”
In that night God appeared to Solomon, and said to him, "Ask what I shall give you."
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.
Solomon said to God, "You have shown great loving kindness to David my father, and have made me king in his place.
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.
Now, Jehovah God, let your promise to David my father be established; for you have made me king over a people like the dust of the earth in multitude.
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?”
Now give me wisdom and knowledge, that I may go out and come in before this people; for who can judge this your people, that is so great?"
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,
God said to Solomon, "Because this was in your heart, and you have not asked riches, wealth, or honor, nor the life of those who hate you, neither yet have asked long life; but have asked wisdom and knowledge for yourself, that you may judge my people, over whom I have made you 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.”
wisdom and knowledge is granted to you. I will give you riches, wealth, and honor, such as none of the kings have had who have been before you; neither shall there any after you have 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.
So Solomon came from the high place that was at Gibeon, from before the Tent of Meeting, to Jerusalem; and he reigned over 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.
Solomon gathered chariots and horsemen: and he had one thousand four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, that he placed in the chariot cities, and with the king at Jerusalem.
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.
The king made silver and gold to be in Jerusalem as stones, and cedars made he to be as the sycamore trees that are in the lowland, for abundance.
16 Cheval Salomon yo te enpòte soti an Égypte ak Kue. Komèsan a wa yo te achte yo nan Kue.
The horses which Solomon had were brought out of Egypt and from Kue; the king's merchants purchased them from Kue.
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 brought up and brought out of Egypt a chariot for six hundred pieces of silver, and a horse for one hundred fifty: and so for all the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of Aram, they brought them out by their means.
