2 Chronicles 28
1 Ahaz was twenty years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for sixteen years in Jerusalem. He did not do what is right in the sight of the Lord, as his father David did.
Achaz te gen laj a ventan lè l te devni wa e li te renye sèzan Jérusalem. Li pa t fè sa ki bon nan zye SENYÈ a, jan David, papa zansèt li a, te konn fè a,
2 Instead, he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel. Moreover, he also cast statues for the Baals.
men li te mache nan chemen a wa Israël yo. Anplis, li te fè imaj fonn pou Baal yo.
3 It is he who burned incense in the Valley of the son of Hinnom. And he purified his sons by fire, in accord with the ritual of the nations that the Lord put to death at the advent of the sons of Israel.
Li te brile lansan nan vale Ben-Hinnon e li te brile fis li yo nan dife, selon abominasyon a nasyon ke SENYÈ a te chase mete deyò devan fis Israël yo.
4 Also, he was sacrificing and burning incense in the high places, and on the hills, and under every leafy tree.
Li te fè sakrifis e te brile lansan sou wo plas yo, sou ti mòn yo e anba chak bwa vèt.
5 And so the Lord, his God, delivered him into the hand of the king of Syria, who struck him and took great plunder from his kingdom. And he carried it away to Damascus. Also, he was delivered into the hands of the king of Israel, and he struck him with great affliction.
Pou sa, SENYÈ a, Bondye li a, te livre li nan men a wa Syrie. Konsa, yo te bat li e te pote ale de li yon gran kantite kaptif pou te fè yo rive Damas. Li te anplis livre nan men a wa Israël la ki te aflije li avèk anpil moun mouri.
6 And Pekah, the son of Remaliah, killed, on one day, one hundred twenty thousand, all of them men of war from Judah, because they had forsaken the Lord, the God of their fathers.
Paske Pékach, fis Remalia a, te touye nan Juda, pandan yon sèl jou, san-ven-mil òm, tout mesye ki plen kouraj yo, akoz yo te abandone SENYÈ a, Bondye a papa zansèt yo.
7 In the same time, Zichri, a powerful man of Ephraim, killed Maaseiah, the son of the king, and Azrikam, the governor of his house, and also Elkanah, who was second to the king.
Epi Zicri yon nonm pwisan nan Éphraïm, te touye Maaséja, fis a wa a avèk Azrikam, chèf a kay wayal la, e Elkana, dezyèm apre wa a.
8 And the sons of Israel seized, from their brothers, two hundred thousand women, boys, and girls, and immense plunder. And they took it away to Samaria.
Fis Israël yo te pote ale an kaptivite pami frè yo de-san-mil fanm Judah, fis ak fi. Anplis yo te pran anpil piyaj ki sòti nan yo, e te mennen piyaj la Samarie.
9 At that time, there was a prophet of the Lord there, named Oded. And going out to meet the army arriving in Samaria, he said to them: “Behold, the Lord, the God of your fathers, having become angry against Judah, has delivered them into your hands. But you have killed them by atrocities, so that your cruelty has reached up to heaven.
Men yon pwofèt SENYÈ a ki te rele Oded te la. Li te sòti deyò pou rankontre lame ki te vini Samarie a e li te di yo: “Gade byen, paske SENYÈ a zansèt ou yo te fache avèk Juda, Li te livre yo nan men nou, e nou te touye yo ak gwo laraj ki te rive jis nan syèl la.
10 Moreover, you wanted to subjugate the sons of Judah and Jerusalem as your men and women servants, which is a work that should never be done. And so you sinned in this matter against the Lord your God.
Alò, nou ap pwopoze pou fè pou kont nou, pèp a Juda avèk Jérusalem yo vin soumèt kòm esklav mal ak femèl. Anverite, èske nou menm pa gen transgresyon pou kont nou kont SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an?
11 But listen to my counsel, and release the captives, whom you have brought from your brothers. For a great fury of the Lord is hanging over you.”
Alò, pou sa, koute mwen e remèt kaptif ke nou te fè prizonye pami frè nou yo, paske kòlè SENYÈ a byen cho kont nou.”
12 And so, some of the leaders of the sons of Ephraim, Azariah, the son of Johanan, Berechiah, the son of Meshillemoth, Jehizkiah, the son of Shallum, and Amasa, the son of Hadlai, stood up against those who were arriving from the battle.
Alò, kèk nan chèf a fis Éphraïm yo——Azaria, fis a Jochanan nan, Bérékia, fis a Meschillémoth la, Ézéchias, fis a Schallum nan e Amasa, fis a Hadlaï a——te leve kont sila ki t ap retounen soti nan batay la.
13 And they said to them: “You shall not lead back captives to here, lest we sin against the Lord. Why are you willing to add to our sins, and to build upon our old offenses? For indeed, the sin is great, and the furious anger of the Lord is hanging over Israel.”
Yo te di yo: “Fòk nou pa mennen kaptif yo anndan isit la, paske nou ap tante mennen sou nou koupabilite kont SENYÈ a, ki va ogmante peche nou avèk koupabilite nou. Paske koupabilite nou vin tèlman gran ke kòlè Li vin kont Israël.”
14 And the warriors released the spoils and all that they had seized, in the sight of the leaders and the entire multitude.
Pou sa, mesye ki t ap pote zam yo te kite kaptif yo avèk piyaj la devan ofisye yo avèk tout asanble a.
15 And the men, whom we mentioned above, rose up and took the captives. All those who were naked, they clothed from the spoils. And when they had clothed them, and had given them shoes, and had refreshed them with food and drink, and had anointed them because of the hardship, and had cared for them, whoever was not able to walk and whoever was feeble in body, they set them upon beasts of burden, and they led them to Jericho, the city of palm trees, to their brothers, and they themselves returned to Samaria.
Epi mesye ki te chwazi pa non yo te leve, pran kaptif yo, yo te mete rad ki sòti nan piyaj la sou sila ki te toutouni yo. Yo te bay yo rad avèk sandal, yo te bay yo manje e te bay yo bwè, e yo te onksyone yo avèk lwil. Yo te mennen tout sila ki te fèb yo sou bourik e te fè yo rive Jéricho, vil palmis yo, kote frè yo. Konsa, yo te retounen Samarie.
16 In that time, king Ahaz sent to the king of the Assyrians, requesting assistance.
Nan lè sa a, Wa Achaz te voye kote wa Asiryen yo pou jwenn soutyen.
17 And the Edomites arrived and struck down many of Judah, and they seized great plunder.
Paske ankò, Edomit yo te vin atake Juda e te mennen yo sòti kaptif.
18 Also, the Philistines spread out among the cities of the plains, and to the south of Judah. And they seized Beth-shemesh, and Aijalon, and Gederoth, and also Soco, and Timnah, and Gimzo, with their villages, and they lived in them.
Filisten yo osi te atake vil nan ba plèn yo avèk Negev nan Juda e te pran Beth-Schémesch, Ajalon, Guedéroth, Soco avèk vil pa li yo, Thimna avèk vil pa li yo e Guimzo avèk vil pa li yo, epi yo te vin abite la.
19 For the Lord had humbled Judah because of Ahaz, the king of Judah, since he had stripped it of help, and had shown contempt for the Lord.
Paske SENYÈ a te imilye Juda akoz Achaz, wa Israël la. Paske li te fè rive yon mank de lòd nan Juda e te manke fidèl anpil a SENYÈ a.
20 And he led against him Tilgath-pilneser, the king of the Assyrians, who also afflicted him and laid waste to him, without resistance.
Pou sa, Tilgath-Piléser, wa Assyrie a te vini kont li, e te aflije li olye de ranfòse li.
21 And so Ahaz, despoiling the house of the Lord, and the house of the kings and the leaders, gave gifts to the king of the Assyrians, and yet it profited him nothing.
Sepandan, Achaz te pran yon pòsyon sòti nan kay SENYÈ a e sòti nan palè wa a ak chèf yo pou te bay li a wa Assyrie a, men sa pa t ede li.
22 Moreover, in the time of his anguish, he also added to his contempt against the Lord. King Ahaz himself, by himself,
Alò, nan tan gwo pwoblèm pa li, menm Wa Achaz sila a te vin peche plis devan SENYÈ a.
23 immolated victims to the gods of Damascus, those who had struck him. And he said: “The gods of the kings of Syria assist them, and so I will please them with victims, and they will help me.” But to the contrary, they had been the ruin of him and of all Israel.
Paske li te fè sakrifis a lòt dye Damas yo ki te bat li yo. Li te di: “Akoz dye a wa Syrie yo te ede yo, mwen va fè sakrifis de yo pou yo kab ede mwen.” Men yo te koze chit li avèk tout Israël.
24 And so, Ahaz, having despoiled and broken apart all the vessels of the house of God, closed up the doors of the temple of God, and made for himself altars in all the corners of Jerusalem.
Anplis, lè Achaz te ranmase ansanm tout zouti lakay Bondye yo, li te koupe tout zouti yo an mòso. Li te fèmen pòt lakay SENYÈ a, e te fè lotèl pou li nan chak kwen nan Jérusalem.
25 Also, he constructed altars in all the cities of Judah, in order to burn frankincense, and so he provoked the Lord, the God of his fathers, to wrath.
Nan chak vil nan Juda, li te fè wo plas pou brile lansan a lòt dye yo, e li te pwovoke SENYÈ a, Bondye a papa zansèt li yo, a lakòlè.
26 But the rest of his words, and all his works, the first and the last, have been written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
Alò, tout lòt zèv avèk chemen li yo, soti nan premye a jis rive nan dènye a, men gade byen, yo ekri nan Liv A Wa A Juda yo Avèk Israël yo.
27 And Ahaz slept with his fathers. And they buried him in the city of Jerusalem. And they did not allow him to be in the sepulchers of the kings of Israel. And his son, Hezekiah, reigned in his place.
Konsa, Achaz te dòmi avèk papa zansèt li yo, e yo te antere li nan vil Jérusalem nan; paske yo pa t mennen li antre nan tonm a wa Israël yo. Epi Ézéchias, fis li a, te renye nan plas li.
