2 Chronicles 15
1 Now Azariah, the son of Oded, had the Spirit of God within him.
Lespri Bondye te desann sou Azarya, pitit Obèd.
2 And he went out to meet Asa, and he said to him: “Listen to me, Asa and all of Judah and Benjamin. The Lord is with you, because you have been with him. If you seek him, you will find him. But if you abandon him, he will abandon you.
Azarya soti al kontre wa Asa, li di l' konsa: -Koute sa m'ap di nou, ou menm Asa ansanm ak tout moun fanmi Jida ak fanmi Benjamen yo! Seyè a ap kanpe ak nou si nou menm tou nou kanpe avè l'. Si nou chache l', l'ap kite nou jwenn li. Men, si nou vire do ba li, l'ap vire do ban nou tou.
3 Then many days will pass in Israel, apart from the true God, and apart from a learned priest, and apart from the law.
Pandan lontan, pèp Izrayèl la t'ap viv san Bondye tout bon an, san prèt pou moutre yo sa pou yo fè, san lalwa Bondye a.
4 And when, in their anguish, they will have returned to the Lord, the God of Israel, and will have sought him, they shall find him.
Men, lè malè tonbe sou yo, yo tounen nan pye Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la. Yo chache l', li kite yo jwenn li.
5 In that time, there will be no peace for those who depart and those who enter. Instead, there will be terror on every side, among all the inhabitants of the lands.
Nan tan sa yo, pesonn pa t' ka okipe zafè yo ak kè poze, paske te gen gwo dezòd pou tout moun nan tout peyi.
6 For nation will fight against nation, and city against city. For the Lord will disturb them with every anguish.
Nasyon t'ap kraze nasyon, yon lavil t'ap detwi yon lòt lavil, paske Bondye te lage tout kalite malè sou yo.
7 But as for you, be strengthened, and do not let your hands be weakened. For there will be a reward for your work.”
Men nou menm, mete gason sou nou! Pa dekouraje, paske n'ap jwenn rekonpans travay nou.
8 And when Asa had heard these particular words, and the prophecy of the prophet Azariah, the son of Oded, he was strengthened, and he took away the idols from the entire land of Judah, and from Benjamin, and from the cities that he had seized of mount Ephraim, and he dedicated the altar of the Lord, which was before the portico of the Lord.
Lè Asa tande mesaj pitit Obèd la te bay nan non Bondye, li pran kouraj. Li fè yo wete dènye vye zidòl ki te nan peyi moun Jida yo ak nan peyi moun Benjamen yo, ansanm ak tout zidòl ki te nan lavil li te pran nan zòn mòn Efrayim yo. Li repare lotèl Seyè a ki te kanpe nan lakou devan gwo pyès Tanp Seyè a.
9 And he gathered together all of Judah and Benjamin, and with them the new arrivals from Ephraim and Manasseh and Simeon. For many had fled to him from Israel, seeing that the Lord his God was with him.
Anpil moun soti toupatou nan peyi Efrayim, nan peyi Manase ak nan peyi Simeyon, yo vin jwenn Asa. Yo t'ap viv nan peyi a sou zòd li, paske yo te wè Seyè a te kanpe la avè l'. Asa reyini yo tout ansanm ak tout moun Jida yo ak moun Benjamen yo.
10 And when they had arrived in Jerusalem, in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa,
Yo tout reyini lavil Jerizalèm. Lè sa a, Asa te gen katòzan twa mwa depi li te wa.
11 they immolated to the Lord on that day, from the best of the spoils and from the plunder that they had brought: seven hundred oxen and seven thousand rams.
Jou sa a, yo pran sètsan (700) bèf ak sètmil (7.000) mouton nan tou sa yo te pran nan men lènmi yo, yo touye yo pou Seyè a.
12 And he entered, according to custom, in order to confirm the covenant, so that they would seek the Lord, the God of their fathers, with their whole heart and with their whole soul.
Yo pran angajman pou yo sèvi Seyè a, Bondye zansèt yo a, ak tout kè yo, ak tout nanm yo.
13 “But if anyone,” he said, “will not seek the Lord, the God of Israel, let him die, from the least even to the greatest, from man even to woman.”
Yo pwomèt pou yo touye nenpòt moun, kit se fanm kit se gason, kit se granmoun kit se jennmoun, ki pa soti pou sèvi Seyè a.
14 And they swore to the Lord, with a great voice, in jubilation, and with the blare of trumpets, and with the sound of horns,
Yo fè sèman bay Seyè a byen fò y'ap kenbe angajman yo. Yo te kontan, yo t'ap rele, yo t'ap kònen twonpèt ak klewon.
15 all who were in Judah swore with a curse. For with all their heart they swore, and with all their will they sought and found him. And the Lord granted rest on all sides to them.
Tout moun peyi Jida yo te kontan, paske yo te fè sèman an ak tout kè yo. San pesonn pa fòse yo, yo te soti pou yo te chache konnen volonte Seyè a. Seyè a menm te kite yo jwenn li. Li fè yo viv ak kè poze ak tout moun nan vwazinaj yo.
16 Then too, Maacah, the mother of king Asa, he deposed from the august authority, because she had made an idol of Priapus within a sacred grove. And he entirely crushed it, breaking it into pieces, and he burned it at the torrent Kidron.
Wa Asa menm rive wete Maka, grann li, nan pozisyon yo te ba li tankou manman Larenn nan peyi a, paske Maka te fè yon vye estati pou Achera. Asa kraze estati a an miyèt moso, li fè boule l' nan ravin Sedwon an.
17 But some high places were left in Israel. Even so, the heart of Asa was perfect during all his days.
Atout li pa t' rive fè disparèt tout kay zidòl yo, li menm li te toujou sèvi Seyè a ak tout kè li pandan lavi li.
18 And whatever his father or he himself had vowed, he brought into the house of the Lord: silver and gold, and vessels for various uses.
Li pran tou sa papa l' te bay pou sèvis Bondye a, li mete yo nan Tanp lan ak tout bagay an lò ak an ajan li menm li te bay pou Bondye.
19 Truly, there was no war, until the thirty-fifth year of the kingdom of Asa.
Pat gen lagè menm jouk wa Asa rive sou trannsenkan depi li t'ap gouvènen.
