2 Chronicles 10
1 And Roboam went to Sichem: for thither all Israel were assembled, to make him king.
Roboam te ale Sichem, paske tout Israël te vini Sichem pou fè l vin wa.
2 And when Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who was in Egypt, (for he was fled thither from Solomon, ) heard it, forthwith he returned.
Lè Jéroboam, fis a Nebath la te tande sa, (paske li te an Égypte kote li te sove ale rive pou l kite prezans a wa Salomon), Jéroboam te retounen soti an Égypte.
3 And they sent for him, and he came with all Israel, and they spoke to Roboam, saying:
Pou sa, yo te voye lòd pou l vini. Lè Jéroboam avèk tout Israël te vini, yo te pale ak Roboam. Yo te di:
4 Thy father oppressed us with a most grievous yoke, do thou govern us with a lighter hand than thy father, who laid upon us a heavy servitude, and ease some thing of the burden, that we may serve thee.
“Papa ou te fè fado nou rèd. Alò, pou sa, lache sèvis di a papa ou ak fado lou a ke li te konn mete sou nou an, e nou va sèvi ou.”
5 And he said to them: Come to me again after three days. And when the people were gone,
Li te di yo: “Retounen kote mwen nan twa jou.” Konsa, pèp la te ale.
6 He took counsel with the ancients, who had stood before his father Solomon, while he yet lived, saying: What counsel give you to me, that I may answer the people?
Alò, Wa Roboam te fè konsiltasyon avèk ansyen ki te konn sèvi papa li yo, Salomon pandan li te vivan an. Li te mande yo: “Ki konsèy n ap ban mwen pou reponn a pèp sila a?”
7 And they said to him: If thou please this people, and soothe them with kind words, they will be thy servants for ever.
Yo te pale avèk li e te di: “Si ou va aji nan dousè avèk pèp sa a, si ou va fè yo kontan e pale pawòl dous ak yo, alò, yo va vin sèvi ou nèt.”
8 But he forsook the counsel of the ancients, and began to treat with the young men, that had been brought up with him, and were in his train.
Men li te echwe konsèy ansyen yo te bay li yo, pou l te konsilte jennonm ki te grandi ansanm avè l e ki te kanpe devan l.
9 And he said to them: What seemeth good to you? or what shall I answer this people, who have said to me: Ease the yoke which thy father laid upon us?
Konsa, li te mande yo: “Ki konsèy n ap ban mwen pou m ta reponn pèp sila a, ki te pale avèk mwen, ki te di: ‘Fè fado ke papa ou te konn mete sou nou an vin pi lejè?’”
10 But they answered as young men, and brought up with him in pleasures, and said: Thus shalt thou speak to the people, that said to thee: Thy father made our yoke heavy, do thou ease it: thus shalt thou answer them: My little finger is thicker than the loins of my father.
Jennonm ki te konn grandi avèk li yo te pale avèk li. Yo te di: “Konsa ou va reponn a pèp sila ki te pale avèk ou a, ki te di: ‘Papa ou te fè jouk nou lou; men ou menm, fè l pi lejè pou nou.’ Konsa, ou va reponn yo: ‘Ti dwèt mwen pi gwo pase ren papa m!
11 My father laid upon you a heavy yoke, and I will add more weight to it: my father beat you with scourges, but I will beat you with scorpions.
Konsi papa m te chaje nou avèk yon jouk lou, mwen va mete anplis sou jouk nou an. Papa m te konn disipline avèk fwèt, men mwen menm, avèk eskòpyon.’”
12 So Jeroboam, and all the people came to Roboam the third day, as he commanded them.
Konsa, Jéroboam avèk tout pèp la te parèt a Roboam nan twazyèm jou a jan wa a te mande lè l te di: “Retounen kote mwen nan twazyèm jou a.”
13 And the king answered roughly, leaving the counsel of the ancients.
Wa a te reponn yo byen di, e Wa Roboam te echwe konsèy a ansyen yo.
14 And he spoke according to the advice of the young men: My father laid upon you a heavy yoke, which I will make heavier: my father beat you with scourges, but I will beat you with scorpions.
Li te pale avèk yo selon konsèy a jennonm yo, e li te di: “Papa m te konn fè jouk nou lou, men mwen va mete anplis sou li. Papa m te fè disiplin avèk fwèt, men mwen va fè disiplin avèk eskòpyon.”
15 And he condescended not to the people’s requests: for it was the will of God, that his word might be fulfilled which he had spoken by the hand of Ahias the Silonite to Jeroboam the son of Nabat.
Konsa, wa a pa t koute pèp la, paske sa se te yon boulvèsman ki te soti nan Bondye, pou SENYÈ a ta kapab etabli pawòl ke Li te pale pa Achija, Silonit lan, a Jéroboam nan, fis a Nebath la.
16 And all the people upon the king’s speaking roughly, said thus unto him: We have no part in David, nor inheritance in the son of Isai. Return to thy dwellings, O Israel, and do thou, O David, feed thy own house. And Israel went away to their dwellings.
Lè tout Israël te wè ke wa a pa t koute yo, pèp la te reponn wa a e te di: “Ki pòsyon nou gen nan David? Nanpwen eritaj pou nou nan fis Jesse a! Tout gason rive nan tant ou, O Israël! Koulye a, David, okipe pwòp lakay ou!” Konsa, tout Israël te pati rive nan tant yo.
17 But Roboam reigned over the children of Israel that dwelt in the cities of Juda.
Men pou fis Israël ki te rive nan vil a Juda yo, Roboam te renye sou yo.
18 And king Roboam sent Aduram, who was over the tributes, and the children of Israel stoned him, and he died: and king Roboam made haste to gee up into his chariot, and fled into Jerusalem.
Epi Wa Roboam te voye Hadoram ki te chèf kòve yo, e fis Israël yo te lapide li ak kout wòch jiskaske li te mouri. Wa Roboam te fè vit monte cha li pou sove ale rive Jérusalem.
19 And Israel revolted from the house of David unto this day.
Konsa, Israël te vin nan rebelyon kont kay David la jis rive jodi a.
