2 Chronicles 10
1 And Rehoboam went to Shechem; for all Israel had come to Shechem to make him king.
Woboram moute lavil Sichèm, paske se la tout pèp Izrayèl la nèt te sanble pou fè li wa.
2 And it came to pass when Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard it (now he was in Egypt, whither he had fled from the presence of king Solomon) that Jeroboam returned out of 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 and called him; and Jeroboam and all Israel came and spoke to Rehoboam saying,
Moun branch fanmi ki nan nò peyi a voye chache l'. Yo tout ansanm, yo al jwenn Woboram, yo di l' konsa:
4 Thy father made our yoke grievous; and now lighten the grievous servitude of thy father, and his heavy yoke that he put upon us, and we will serve thee.
-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 again to me after three days. And the people departed.
Woboram di yo: -Tounen nan twa jou. Lè sa a, m'a ban nou repons. Epi moun yo al fè wout yo.
6 And king Rehoboam consulted with the old men, who had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, saying, How do ye advise to return answer 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 spoke to him saying, If thou be kind to this people, and please them, and speak good words to them, they will be thy 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 forsook the advice of the old men which they had given him, and consulted with the young men, who had grown up with him, that stood 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 advice give ye that we may return answer to this people, who have spoken to me saying, Lighten the yoke which thy father put upon 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 that had grown up with him spoke to him saying, Thus shalt thou say to the people who have spoken to thee saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, and lighten thou it for us, — thus shalt thou say to them: My little [finger] is thicker than my father's loins;
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 and whereas my father laid a heavy yoke upon you, I will add to your yoke: my father chastised you with whips, but I [will chastise you] with scorpions.
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 And Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king had appointed saying, Come again to me 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 answered them roughly; and king Rehoboam forsook the advice of the old men,
Wa a pa koute konsèy granmoun yo, li pale di ak pèp la.
14 and spoke to them according to the advice of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add to it; my father chastised you with whips, but I [will chastise you] with scorpions.
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 hearkened not to the people; for it was brought about by God, that Jehovah might give effect to his word, which he spoke through 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 all Israel saw that the king hearkened not to them; and the people answered the king saying, What portion have we in David? and [we have] no inheritance in the son of Jesse: every man to your tents, O Israel. Now see to thine own house, David! And 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 as for the children of Israel that dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.
Yo kite Woboram pou li gouvènen sèlman sou moun ki rete nan pòsyon tè branch fanmi Jida a.
18 And king Rehoboam sent Hadoram, who was over the levy; but the children of Israel stoned him with stones, that he died. And king Rehoboam hastened to mount his chariot, to flee 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 And Israel rebelled against the house of David, unto this day.
Depi lè sa a, moun pèp Izrayèl yo vire do bay moun fanmi David yo jouk jounen jòdi a.
