2 Chronicles 10
1 Then Rehoboam went to Shechem, for all Israel had gone there to make him king.
Roboam te ale Sichem, paske tout Israël te vini Sichem pou fè l vin wa.
2 When Jeroboam son of Nebat heard about this, he returned from Egypt, where he had fled from King Solomon.
Lè Jéroboam, fis a Nebath la te tande sa, (paske li te an Égypte kote li te sove ale rive pou l kite prezans a wa Salomon), Jéroboam te retounen soti an Égypte.
3 So they sent for Jeroboam, and he and all Israel came to Rehoboam and said,
Pou sa, yo te voye lòd pou l vini. Lè Jéroboam avèk tout Israël te vini, yo te pale ak Roboam. Yo te di:
4 “Your father put a heavy yoke on us. But now you should lighten the burden of your father’s service and the heavy yoke he put on us, and we will serve you.”
“Papa ou te fè fado nou rèd. Alò, pou sa, lache sèvis di a papa ou ak fado lou a ke li te konn mete sou nou an, e nou va sèvi ou.”
5 Rehoboam answered, “Come back to me in three days.” So the people departed.
Li te di yo: “Retounen kote mwen nan twa jou.” Konsa, pèp la te ale.
6 Then King Rehoboam consulted with the elders who had served his father Solomon during his lifetime. “How do you advise me to respond to these people?” he asked.
Alò, Wa Roboam te fè konsiltasyon avèk ansyen ki te konn sèvi papa li yo, Salomon pandan li te vivan an. Li te mande yo: “Ki konsèy n ap ban mwen pou reponn a pèp sila a?”
7 They replied, “If you will be kind to these people and please them by speaking kind words to them, they will be your servants forever.”
Yo te pale avèk li e te di: “Si ou va aji nan dousè avèk pèp sa a, si ou va fè yo kontan e pale pawòl dous ak yo, alò, yo va vin sèvi ou nèt.”
8 But Rehoboam rejected the advice of the elders; instead, he consulted the young men who had grown up with him and served him.
Men li te echwe konsèy ansyen yo te bay li yo, pou l te konsilte jennonm ki te grandi ansanm avè l e ki te kanpe devan l.
9 He asked them, “What message do you advise that we send back to these people who have spoken to me, saying, ‘Lighten the yoke your father put on us’?”
Konsa, li te mande yo: “Ki konsèy n ap ban mwen pou m ta reponn pèp sila a, ki te pale avèk mwen, ki te di: ‘Fè fado ke papa ou te konn mete sou nou an vin pi lejè?’”
10 The young men who had grown up with him replied, “This is how you should answer these people who said to you, ‘Your father made our yoke heavy, but you should make it lighter.’ This is what you should tell them: ‘My little finger is thicker than my father’s waist!
Jennonm ki te konn grandi avèk li yo te pale avèk li. Yo te di: “Konsa ou va reponn a pèp sila ki te pale avèk ou a, ki te di: ‘Papa ou te fè jouk nou lou; men ou menm, fè l pi lejè pou nou.’ Konsa, ou va reponn yo: ‘Ti dwèt mwen pi gwo pase ren papa m!
11 Whereas my father burdened you with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke. Whereas my father scourged you with whips, I will scourge you with scorpions.’”
Konsi papa m te chaje nou avèk yon jouk lou, mwen va mete anplis sou jouk nou an. Papa m te konn disipline avèk fwèt, men mwen menm, avèk eskòpyon.’”
12 After three days, Jeroboam and all the people returned to Rehoboam, since the king had said, “Come back to me on the third day.”
Konsa, Jéroboam avèk tout pèp la te parèt a Roboam nan twazyèm jou a jan wa a te mande lè l te di: “Retounen kote mwen nan twazyèm jou a.”
13 And the king answered them harshly. King Rehoboam rejected the advice of the elders
Wa a te reponn yo byen di, e Wa Roboam te echwe konsèy a ansyen yo.
14 and spoke to them as the young men had advised, saying, “Whereas my father made your yoke heavy, I will add to your yoke. Whereas my father scourged you with whips, I will scourge you with scorpions.”
Li te pale avèk yo selon konsèy a jennonm yo, e li te di: “Papa m te konn fè jouk nou lou, men mwen va mete anplis sou li. Papa m te fè disiplin avèk fwèt, men mwen va fè disiplin avèk eskòpyon.”
15 So the king did not listen to the people, and indeed this turn of events was from God, in order that the LORD might fulfill the word that He had spoken through Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam son of Nebat.
Konsa, wa a pa t koute pèp la, paske sa se te yon boulvèsman ki te soti nan Bondye, pou SENYÈ a ta kapab etabli pawòl ke Li te pale pa Achija, Silonit lan, a Jéroboam nan, fis a Nebath la.
16 When all Israel saw that the king had refused to listen to them, they answered the king: “What portion do we have in David, and what inheritance in the son of Jesse? To your tents, O Israel! Look now to your own house, O David!” So all the Israelites went home,
Lè tout Israël te wè ke wa a pa t koute yo, pèp la te reponn wa a e te di: “Ki pòsyon nou gen nan David? Nanpwen eritaj pou nou nan fis Jesse a! Tout gason rive nan tant ou, O Israël! Koulye a, David, okipe pwòp lakay ou!” Konsa, tout Israël te pati rive nan tant yo.
17 but Rehoboam still reigned over the Israelites living in the cities of Judah.
Men pou fis Israël ki te rive nan vil a Juda yo, Roboam te renye sou yo.
18 Then King Rehoboam sent out Hadoram, who was in charge of the forced labor, but the Israelites stoned him to death. And King Rehoboam mounted his chariot in haste and escaped to Jerusalem.
Epi Wa Roboam te voye Hadoram ki te chèf kòve yo, e fis Israël yo te lapide li ak kout wòch jiskaske li te mouri. Wa Roboam te fè vit monte cha li pou sove ale rive Jérusalem.
19 So to this day Israel has been in rebellion against the house of David.
Konsa, Israël te vin nan rebelyon kont kay David la jis rive jodi a.
