2 Chronicles 10
1 And Rehoboam went to Shechem, where all Israel had come together to make him king.
Woboram moute lavil Sichèm, paske se la tout pèp Izrayèl la nèt te sanble pou fè li wa.
2 And when Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, had news of it, (for he was in Egypt where he had gone in flight from King Solomon, ) he came back from Egypt.
Lè Jewoboram, pitit gason Nebat la, ki te nan peyi Lejip kote li te al kache pou Salomon an, pran nouvèl la, li kite peyi Lejip, li tounen lakay li.
3 And they sent for him; and Jeroboam and all Israel came to Rehoboam and said,
Moun branch fanmi ki nan nò peyi a voye chache l'. Yo tout ansanm, yo al jwenn Woboram, yo di l' konsa:
4 Your father put a hard yoke on us: if you will make the conditions under which your father kept us down less cruel, and the weight of the yoke he put on us less hard, then we will be your servants.
-Papa ou te di anpil ak nou. Li te peze nou anpil. Koulye a, fè yon leve men pou nou. Kite nou viv yon ti jan pi alèz, n'a sèvi ou nèt ale.
5 And he said to them, Come to me again after three days. So the people went away.
Woboram di yo: -Tounen nan twa jou. Lè sa a, m'a ban nou repons. Epi moun yo al fè wout yo.
6 Then King Rehoboam took the opinion of the old men who had been with Solomon his father when he was living, and said, In your opinion, what answer am I to give to this people?
Woboram menm al jwenn chèf fanmi ki te sèvi konseye pou Salomon, papa l', lè li t'ap viv la, li mande yo: -Kisa pou m' reponn pèp la? Ki konsèy nou ban mwen?
7 And they said to him, If you are kind to this people, pleasing them and saying good words to them, then they will be your servants for ever.
Yo reponn li: -Si ou aji byen ak pèp la, si ou asepte fè sa yo mande ou la, si ou pale byen ak yo, y'ap toujou sèvi ou,
8 But he gave no attention to the opinion of the old men, but went to the young men of his generation who were waiting before him.
Men, Woboram pa koute konsèy granmoun yo te ba li a, li al jwenn jenn gason ki te leve ansanm avè l' yo, lèfini ki te toujou la pou ba l' konsèy tou.
9 And he said to them, What is your opinion? What answer are we to give to this people who have said to me, Make less the weight of the yoke which your father put on us?
Li di yo: -Ki konsèy nou ta ban mwen? Kisa pou m' reponn pèp la k'ap mande m' pou m' fè yon leve men pou yo?
10 And the young men of his generation said to him, This is the answer to give to the people who came to you saying, Your father put a hard yoke on us, but will you make it less; say to them, My little finger is thicker than my father's body;
Jenn gason kanmarad li yo reponn li: -Men sa w'a di moun sa yo k'ap plenyen pou papa ou ki t'ap peze yo, epi k'ap mande ou fè yon leve men pou yo a. W'a di yo: Si papa m' te di ak nou, mwen menm m'ap pi di pase l'.
11 If my father put a hard yoke on you, I will make it harder: my father gave you punishment with whips, but I will give you blows with snakes.
Wi, w'a di yo: Papa m' t'ap peze nou anba chay lou, mwen menm se mete m'ap mete sou chay la anko. Papa m' te bat nou ak fwèt, mwen menm m'ap pase fwèt la anba sann pou m' bat nou.
12 So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam on the third day, as the king had given orders, saying, Come to me again on the third day.
Twa jou apre vre, Jewoboram tounen ansanm ak tout moun Izrayèl yo vin jwenn wa Woboram, jan li te di yo a.
13 And the king gave them a rough answer. So King Rehoboam gave no attention to the suggestion of the old men,
Wa a pa koute konsèy granmoun yo, li pale di ak pèp la.
14 But gave them the answer put forward by the young men, saying, My father made your yoke hard, but I will make it harder; my father gave you punishment with whips, but I will give it with snakes.
Li reponn yo jan jenn gason yo te ba l' konsèy la. Li di yo: -Papa m' te peze nou anba chay lou, mwen menm, m'ap mete sou chay n'ap pote deja a. Papa m' te bat nou ak fwèt, mwen menm, m'ap pase fwèt la anba sann pou nou.
15 So the king did not give ear to the people; for this came about by the purpose of God, so that the Lord might give effect to his word which he had said by Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam, the son of Nebat.
Se konsa wa a pa t' asepte fè sa pèp la te mande l' la. Sa se travay Seyè a menm ki te vle pou sa li te voye Akija, pwofèt Silo a, al di Jewoboram, pitit Nebat la, rive vre.
16 And when all Israel saw that the king would give no attention to them, the people in answer said to the king, What part have we in David? what is our heritage in the son of Jesse? every man to your tents, O Israel; now see to your house, David. So all Israel went to their tents.
Lè pèp Izrayèl la wè wa a pa t' soti pou li fè sa yo te mande l' la, yo reponn wa a, yo di li: -Nou pa gen anyen pou nou wè ak David. Nou pa gen anyen pou n' separe ak pitit Izayi a. Nou menm pèp Izrayèl la, ann al lakay nou! Ann kite pitit David yo degaje yo pou kont yo ak fanmi yo! Se konsa moun pèp Izrayèl la vire do al lakay yo.
17 But Rehoboam was still king over those of the children of Israel who were living in the towns of Judah.
Yo kite Woboram pou li gouvènen sèlman sou moun ki rete nan pòsyon tè branch fanmi Jida a.
18 Then Rehoboam sent Adoniram, the overseer of the forced work; and he was stoned to death by all Israel. And King Rehoboam went quickly and got into his carriage to go in flight to Jerusalem.
Apre sa, wa Woboram voye Adoram ki te reskonsab travay kòve yo al bò kote moun Izrayèl yo. Men, moun Izrayèl yo kalonnen li koutwòch jouk li mouri. Lè sa a, wa Woboram prese moute sou cha li, li kouri ale lavil Jerizalèm.
19 So Israel was turned away from the family of David to this day.
Depi lè sa a, moun pèp Izrayèl yo vire do bay moun fanmi David yo jouk jounen jòdi a.
