Chronicles II 11
1 And Roboam came to Jerusalem; and he assembled Juda and Benjamin, a hundred and eighty thousand young men fit for war, and he waged war with Israel to recover the kingdom to Roboam.
Alò, lè Roboam te vini Jérusalem. Li te rasanble lakay Juda avèk Benjamin, san-katre-ven-mil mesye byen chwazi ki te gèrye, pou goumen kont Israël pou reprann wayòm nan pou Roboam.
2 And the Word of the Lord came to Samaias the man of God, saying,
Men pawòl SENYÈ a te vini a Schemaeja, nonm Bondye a, Li te di:
3 Speak to Roboam the [son] of Solomon, and to all Juda and Benjamin, saying,
“Pale a Roboam, fis a Salomon an, wa a Juda a ak tout Israël nan Juda avèk Benjamin pou di:
4 Thus says the Lord, You shall not go up, and you shall not war against your brethren: return every one to his home; for this thing is of me. And they listened to the word of the Lord, and returned from going against Jeroboam.
‘Konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Nou pa pou monte ni goumen kont fanmi pa nou yo! Retounen chak mesye yo lakay yo, paske bagay sa a sòti nan Mwen menm.”’” Konsa, yo te koute pawòl SENYÈ a, e yo te retounen pou yo pa sòti kont Jéroboam.
5 And Roboam lived in Jerusalem, and he built walled cities in Judea.
Roboam te viv Jérusalem, e li te bati vil pou fè defans nan Juda.
6 And he built Bethleem, and Aetan and Thecoe,
Konsa li te bati Bethléem, Étham, Tekoa,
7 and Baethsura, and Sochoth, and Odollam,
Beth-Tsur, Soko, Adullam,
8 and Geth, and Marisa, and Ziph,
Gath, Maréscha, Ziph,
9 and Adorai, and Lachis, and Azeca,
Adoraïm, Lakis, Azéka
10 and Saraa, and Aelom, and Chebron, which belong to Juda and Benjamin, walled cities.
Tsorea, Ajalon avèk Hébron, ki se vil fòtifye nan Juda ak nan Benjamin.
11 And he fortified them with walls, and placed in them captains, and stores of provisions, oil and wine,
Anplis, li te ranfòse fò yo, e li te mete kòmandan ladan yo avèk depo manje, lwil ak diven.
12 shields and spears in every several city, and he fortified them very strongly, and he had on his side Juda and Benjamin.
Li te mete boukliye defans avèk lans nan chak vil yo, e li te byen fòtifye yo. Konsa, Juda avèk Benjamin te pou li.
13 And the priests and the Levites who were in all Israel were gathered to him out of all the coasts.
Anplis, prèt avèk Levit ki te nan tout Israël yo te kanpe avèk li soti nan landwa pa yo.
14 For the Levites left the tents of their possession, and went to Juda to Jerusalem, because Jeroboam and his sons had ejected them so that they should not minister to the Lord.
Paske Levit yo te kite tè patiraj pa yo pou te rive Juda avèk Jérusalem, paske Jéroboam te bloke sèvis yo kòm prèt SENYÈ a.
15 And he made for himself priests of the high places, and for the idols, and for the vanities, and for the calves which Jeroboam made.
Li te etabli prèt pa li yo pou kont li pou sèvi nan wo plas yo, pou imaj bouk yo avèk jenn bèf ke li te fè yo.
16 And he cast out from the tribes of Israel those who set their heart to seek the Lord God of Israel: and they came to Jerusalem, to sacrifice to the Lord God of their fathers.
Sila yo nan tout tribi Israël ki te dispoze kè yo pou swiv SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la, te swiv yo rive Jérusalem pou fè sakrifis a SENYÈ a, Bondye a zansèt pa yo a.
17 And they strengthened the kingdom of Juda; and [Juda] strengthened Roboam the [son] of Solomon for three years, for he walked three years in the ways of David and Solomon.
Yo te fòtifye wayòm Juda a, e yo te bay soutyen a Roboam, fis Salomon nan pandan twazan, paske yo te mache nan chemen David avèk Salomon an pandan twazan.
18 And Roboam took to himself for a wife, Moolath daughter of Jerimuth the son of David, and Abigaia daughter of Heliab the son of Jessae.
Alò, Roboam te pran kòm madanm li, Mahalath, fi a Jerimoth la, fis a David la avèk Abichaïl, fi a Éliab la, fis a Jesse a.
19 And she bore him sons; Jeus, and Samoria, and Zaam.
Li te fè fis yo: Jeusch, Schemaria, avèk Zaham.
20 And afterwards he took to himself Maacha the daughter of Abessalom; and she bore him Abia, and Jetthi, and Zeza, and Salemoth.
Apre, li te pran Maaca, fi a Absalom an. Li te fè pou li Abija, Attaï, Ziza, avèk Schelomith.
21 And Roboam loved Maacha the daughter of Abessalom more than all his wives and all his concubines: for he had eighteen wives and sixty concubines; and he begot twenty-eight sons, and sixty daughters.
Roboam te renmen Maaca, fi a Absalom an plis pase tout lòt madanm avèk ti mennaj li yo. Paske li te pran dizuit madanm avèk swasant mennaj, e li te fè venn-tuit fis ak swasant fi.
22 And he made Abia the son of Maacha chief, [even] a leader amongst his brethren, for he intended to make him king.
Roboam te chwazi Abija, fis a Maaca a kòm chèf e dirijan pami frè li yo, paske li te gen entansyon fè l wa.
23 And he was exalted beyond all his [other] sons in all the coasts of Juda and Benjamin, and in the strong cities; and he gave them provisions in great abundance: and he desired many wives.
Li te aji avèk sajès, e li te plase fis li yo nan tout teritwa a Juda avèk Benjamin nan tout vil fòtifye yo, e li te ba yo anpil manje. Epi li te chache anpil madanm pou yo.
