1 Kings 15
1 Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, Abijam became king over Judah.
Jewoboram te gen dizwitan depi li te wa peyi Izrayèl la, lè Abijam moute wa nan peyi Jida.
2 For three years he was king in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Maacah, the daughter of Abishalom.
Li gouvènen lavil Jerizalèm pandan twazan. Manman l' te rele Maka, se te pitit fi Absalon.
3 And he did the same sins which his father had done before him: his heart was not completely true to the Lord his God, like the heart of David his father.
Abijam te lage kò l' nan fè menm bagay ak papa l'. Li pa t' sèvi Seyè a, Bondye li a, ak tout kè li jan David, zansèt li a, te fè.
4 But because of David, the Lord gave him a light in Jerusalem, making his sons king after him, so that Jerusalem might be safe;
Men poutèt David, Seyè a, Bondye li a, te bay Abijam yon pitit gason pou te toujou gen yon moun nan ras li ap gouvènen lavil Jerizalèm apre li. Konsa lavil Jerizalèm va toujou rete kanpe.
5 Because David did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, and never in all his life went against his orders, but only in the question of Uriah the Hittite.
Seyè a te fè sa paske David te toujou fè sa ki dwat devan Seyè a. Pandan tout lavi li, li pa t' janm dezobeyi ankenn lòd Seyè a, si ou wete zafè Ouri, moun peyi Et la.
Pandan tout rèy Woboram lan, se te yon lagè san rete ant Woboram ak Jewoboram.
7 Now the rest of the acts of Abijam, and all he did, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Judah? And there was war between Abijam and Jeroboam.
Toutan te gen lagè tou ant Abijam ak Jewoboram. Tout lòt bagay Abijam te fè yo, n'a jwenn yo ekri nan liv Istwa wa peyi Jida yo.
8 Then Abijam went to rest with his fathers, and they put him into the earth in the town of David: and Asa his son became king in his place.
Lè Abijam mouri, yo antere l' nan lavil David la, Se Asa, pitit gason l' lan, ki moute sou fotèy la nan plas li.
9 In the twentieth year that Jeroboam was king of Israel, Asa became king over Judah.
Wa Jewoboram t'ap mache sou ventan depi li t'ap gouvènen peyi Izrayèl, lè Asa moute wa nan peyi Jida.
10 And he was king for forty-one years in Jerusalem; his mother's name was Maacah, the daughter of Abishalom.
Li gouvènen pandan karanteyennan lavil Jerizalèm. Maka, pitit fi Absalon an, te grann li.
11 Asa did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, as David his father did.
Asa te fè sa ki dwat devan Seyè a, tankou David, zansèt li.
12 Those used for sex purposes in the worship of the gods he sent out of the country, and he took away all the images which his fathers had made.
Li netwaye peyi a, li mete tout gason ak tout fanm ki t'ap fè jennès nan kay zidòl yo deyò nan peyi a. Li wete tout vye zidòl chèf ki te la anvan l' yo te fè.
13 And he would not let Maacah his mother be queen, because she had made a disgusting image for Asherah; and Asa had the image cut down and burned by the stream Kidron.
Li menm rive wete Maka, grann li, nan pozisyon manman larenn yo te ba li nan peyi a, paske Maka te fè yon vye estati pou Astate. Asa kraze estati a, li fè boule l' nan fon Sedwon an.
14 The high places, however, were not taken away: but still the heart of Asa was true to the Lord all his life.
Malgre li pa t' rive fè disparèt tout kay zidòl yo, limenm li te toujou sèvi Seyè a ak tout kè li pandan tout lavi li.
15 He took into the house of the Lord all the things which his father had made holy, and those which he himself had made holy, silver and gold and vessels.
Li mete nan Tanp lan tou sa papa l' te bay pou sèvis Bondye ansanm ak tout bagay an lò ak an ajan limenm li te bay pou Bondye.
16 Now there was war between Asa and Baasha, king of Israel, all their days.
Pandan tout tan yo t'ap gouvènen chak moun bò pa yo, se te yon lagè san rete ant Asa, wa peyi Jida, ak Bacha, wa peyi Izrayèl.
17 And Baasha, king of Israel, went up against Judah, building Ramah, so that no one was able to go out or in to Asa, king of Judah.
wa Bacha anvayi peyi Jida. Li pran lavil Rama, li plen l' sòlda pa l' pou anpeche moun pase antre soti nan peyi Jida.
18 Then Asa took all the silver and gold which was still stored in the Lord's house, and in the king's house, and sent them, in the care of his servants, to Ben-hadad, son of Tabrimmon, son of Rezon, king of Aram, at Damascus, saying,
Lè wa Asa wè sa, li pran tout rès bagay an lò ak bagay an ajan ki te rete nan tanp lan ak nan palè a, li renmèt yo nan men kèk moun pa l', li voye yo lavil Damas bò kote Bennadad, wa peyi Siri, pitit gason Tabrimon, pitit pitit Ezyon, ak mesaj sa a:
19 Let there be an agreement between me and you as there was between my father and your father: see, I have sent you an offering of silver and gold; go and put an end to your agreement with Baasha, king of Israel, so that he may give up attacking me.
-Annou pase kontra yonn ak lòt tankou zansèt nou yo te fè l' la. Men mwen voye bagay an lò ak bagay an ajan sa yo fè ou kado. Koulye a, kase kontra ou pase ak Bacha, wa peyi Izrayèl la, konsa la blije wete sòlda li yo nan peyi mwen an.
20 So Ben-hadad did as King Asa said, and sent the captains of his armies against the towns of Israel, attacking Ijon and Dan and Abel-beth-maacah, and all Chinneroth as far as all the land of Naphtali.
wa Bennadad dakò avèk sa wa Asa te voye di l' la. Li voye chèf lame li yo al atake lavil peyi Izrayèl yo. Yo pran lavil Iyon, lavil Dann, lavil Abèl-bèt Maka, tout zòn ki toupre letan Galile a, ak tout pòsyon tè branch fanmi Neftali a.
21 And Baasha, hearing of it, put a stop to the building of Ramah, and was living in Tirzah.
Lè Bacha vin konn sa, li wete tout sòlda ki te plen lavil Rama a, l' ale lavil Tizra.
22 Then King Asa got all Judah together, making every man come; and they took away the stones and the wood with which Baasha was building Ramah, and King Asa made use of them for building Geba in the land of Benjamin, and Mizpah.
Lè sa a, wa Asa fè rele dènye moun nan peyi Jida a pou wete wòch ak bwa wa Bacha te fè anpile pou ranfòse miray ranpa lavil Rama. Wa Asa sèvi ak materyo sa yo pou ranfòse miray ranpa lavil Mispa ak lavil Geba nan pòsyon tè branch fanmi Benjamen yo.
23 Now the rest of the acts of Asa, and his power, and all he did, and the towns of which he was the builder, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Judah? But when he was old he had a disease of the feet.
Tout lòt istwa sou sa wa Asa te fè yo, sou jan li te yon vanyan gason, sou lavil li te bati yo, n'a jwenn tou sa ekri nan liv Istwa wa peyi Jida yo. Men, lè l' konmanse granmoun, yon maladi nan pye rann li enfim.
24 So Asa went to rest with his fathers and was put into the earth in the town of David his father: and Jehoshaphat his son became king in his place.
Lè Asa mouri, yo antere l' nan tonm fanmi li nan lavil David la. Se Jozafa, pitit li, ki moute sou fotèy la nan plas li.
25 Nadab, the son of Jeroboam, became king over Israel in the second year that Asa was king of Judah; and he was king of Israel for two years.
Wa Asa te gen dezan depi li t'ap gouvènen peyi Jida a lè Nadad, pitit gason Jewoboram, moute wa nan peyi Izrayèl. Li gouvènen peyi a pandan dezan ase.
26 He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, copying the evil ways of his father, and the sin which he did and made Israel do.
Li fè sa ki mal nan je Seyè a. Tankou papa l', li pa t' mache dwat devan Bondye, lèfini li te lakòz pèp la fè sa ki mal tou.
27 And Baasha, the son of Ahijah, of the family of Issachar, made a secret design against him, attacking him at Gibbethon, a town of the Philistines; for Nadab and the armies of Israel were making war on Gibbethon.
Bacha, pitit gason Akija, nan branch fanmi Isaka a, moute yon konplo pou touye Nadab. Lè sa a, Nadab ak lame Izrayèl la t'ap sènen lavil Gibetou nan peyi Filisti. Se la Bacha touye Nadab.
28 In the third year of the rule of Asa, king of Judah, Baasha put him to death, and became king in his place.
Sa rive nan twazyèm lanne rèy wa Asa nan peyi Jida. Se konsa Bacha moute wa peyi Izrayèl nan plas Nadab.
29 And straight away when he became king, he sent destruction on all the offspring of Jeroboam; there was not one living person of all the family of Jeroboam whom he did not put to death, so the word of the Lord, which he said by his servant Ahijah the Shilonite, came about;
Rive li rive wa, li touye dènye moun nan fanmi Jewoboram lan. Konsa, dapre pawòl Seyè a te mete nan bouch pwofèt Akija, moun lavil Silo, sèvitè Bondye a, li touye tout moun nan fanmi Jewoboram lan, li pa kite yonn chape.
30 Because of the sins which Jeroboam did and made Israel do, moving the Lord, the God of Israel, to wrath.
Sa te rive konsa paske Jewoboram te fè sa ki mal, lèfini li te lakòz pèp la fè sa ki mal tou. Se konsa li te fè Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, fache sou li.
31 Now the rest of the acts of Nadab, and all he did, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Israel?
Tout lòt bagay Nadab te fè yo, n'a jwenn yo ekri nan liv Istwa wa peyi Izrayèl yo.
32 And there was war between Asa and Baasha, king of Israel, all their days.
Se te yon lagè san rete ant Asa, wa peyi Jida a, ak Bacha, wa peyi Izrayèl la, pandan tout tan yo t'ap gouvènen, chak moun bò pa yo.
33 In the third year of the rule of Asa, king of Judah, Baasha, the son of Ahijah, became king over all Israel in Tirzah, and was king for twenty-four years.
Wa Asa t'ap mache sou twazan depi li t'ap gouvènen peyi Jida a lè Bacha, pitit gason Akija, moute wa nan peyi Izrayèl.
34 He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, copying the evil ways of Jeroboam and the sin which he made Israel do.
Li gouvènen pandan vennkatran nan lavil Tiza. Li te fè sa ki mal devan Seyè a. Tankou Jewoboram, li pa t' mache dwat devan Bondye. Li te lakòz pèp la fè sa ki mal tou.
