2 Chronicles 15
1 And the spirit of God came upon Azarias the son of Oded,
Lespri Bondye te desann sou Azarya, pitit Obèd.
2 And he went out to meet Asa, and said to him: Hear ye me, Asa, and all Juda and Benjamin: The Lord is with you, because you have been with him. If you seek him, you shall find: but if you forsake him, he will forsake 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 And many days shall pass in Israel without the true God, and without a priest a teacher, and without 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 distress they shall return to the Lord the God of Israel, and shall seek 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 At that time there shall be no peace to him that goeth out and cometh in, but terrors on every side among all the inhabitants of the earth.
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 shall fight against nation, and city against city, for the Lord will trouble them with all distress.
Nasyon t'ap kraze nasyon, yon lavil t'ap detwi yon lòt lavil, paske Bondye te lage tout kalite malè sou yo.
7 Do you therefore take courage, and let not your hands he weakened: for there shall 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 the words, and the prophecy of Azarias the son of Oded the prophet, he took courage, and took away the idols out of all the land of Juda, and out of Benjamin, and out of the cities of mount Ephraim, which he had taken, and he dedicated the altar of the Lord, which was before the porch 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 Juda and Benjamin, and the strangers with them of Ephraim, and Manasses, and Simeon: for many were come over to him out of 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 were come to 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 sacrificed to the Lord in that day of the spoils, and of the prey, 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 went in to confirm as usual the covenant, that they should seek the Lord the God of their fathers with all their heart, and with all their soul.
Yo pran angajman pou yo sèvi Seyè a, Bondye zansèt yo a, ak tout kè yo, ak tout nanm yo.
13 And if any one, said he, seek not the Lord the God of Israel, let him die, whether little or great, man or 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 loud voice with joyful shouting, and with sound of trumpet, and sound of comets,
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 that mere in Juda with a curse: for with all their heart they swore, and with all their will they sought him, and they found him, and the Lord gave them rest round about.
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 Moreover Maacha the mother of king Asa he deposed from the royal authority, because she had made in a grove an idol of Priapus: and he entirely destroyed it, and breaking it into pieces, burnt it at the torrent Cedron.
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 high places were left in Israel: nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect 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 the things which his father had vowed, and he himself had vowed, he brought into the house of the Lord, gold and silver, and vessels of divers 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 And there was no war unto the five and thirtieth year of the kingdom of Asa.
Pat gen lagè menm jouk wa Asa rive sou trannsenkan depi li t'ap gouvènen.
