< 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.
And strengthen himself doth Solomon son of David over his kingdom, and Jehovah his God [is] with him, and maketh him exceedingly great.
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 Solomon saith to all Israel, to heads of the thousands, and of the hundreds, and to judges, and to every honourable one of all Israel, heads of the 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.
and they go — Solomon, and all the assembly with him — to the high place that [is] in Gibeon, for there hath been God's tent of meeting, that Moses, servant of Jehovah, 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 the ark of God had David brought up from Kirjath-Jearim, when David prepared for it, for he stretched out for it a tent in 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.
and the altar of brass that Bezaleel son of Uri, son of Hur made, he put before the tabernacle of Jehovah; and Solomon and the assembly seek to 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 Solomon goeth up thither, on the altar of brass, before Jehovah, that [is] at the tent of meeting, and causeth to ascend upon it a thousand burnt-offerings.
7 Nan lannwit, Bondye te parèt a Salomon. Li te di l: “Mande M sa pou M ta ba ou.”
In that night hath God appeared to Solomon, and saith to him, 'Ask — what do I give to 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 Solomon saith to God, 'Thou hast done with David my father great kindness, and hast caused me to reign 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.
Now, O Jehovah God, is Thy word with David my father stedfast, for Thou hast caused me to reign over a people numerous as 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?”
now, wisdom and knowledge give to me, and I go out before this people, and I come in, for who doth judge 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 saith to Solomon, 'Because that this hath been with thy heart, and thou hast not asked riches, wealth, and honour, and the life of those hating thee, and also many days hast not asked, and dost ask for thyself wisdom and knowledge, so that thou dost judge My people over which I have caused thee to reign —
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.”
the wisdom and the knowledge is given to thee, and riches and wealth and honour I give to thee, that there hath not been so to the kings who [are] before thee, and after thee it is not so.'
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.
And Solomon cometh in [from] the high place that [is] in Gibeon to Jerusalem, from before the tent of meeting, and reigneth 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.
and Solomon gathereth chariots and horsemen, and he hath a thousand and four hundred chariots, and twelve thousand horsemen, and he placeth them in the cities of the chariots, and with the king in 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.
And the king maketh the silver and the gold in Jerusalem as stones, and the cedars he made as sycamores that [are] in the low country, for abundance.
16 Cheval Salomon yo te enpòte soti an Égypte ak Kue. Komèsan a wa yo te achte yo nan Kue.
And the source of the horses that [are] to Solomon [is] from Egypt and from Keva; merchants of the king from Keva take at 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.
and they come up, and bring out from Egypt a chariot for six hundred silverlings, and a horse for fifty and a hundred, and so for all the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of Aram — by their hand they bring out.
