2 Chronicles 16
1 And in the six and thirtieth year of his kingdom, Baasa the king of Israel came up against Juda, and built a wall about Rama, that no one might safely go out or come in of the kingdom of Asa.
Wa Asa te gen trannsenkan depi li t'ap gouvènen, lè Bacha, wa peyi Izrayèl la, anvayi peyi Jida. Li pran lavil Rama, li plen l' sòlda pa l' pou anpeche moun Asa yo pase antre soti nan peyi Jida.
2 Then Asa brought out silver and gold out of the treasures of the house of the Lord, and of the king’s treasures, and sent to Benadad king of Syria, who dwelt in Damascus, saying:
Lè wa Asa wè sa, li pran bagay an lò ak bagay an ajan ki te nan tanp lan ak nan palè a, li renmèt yo nan men kèk moun pa l', li voye yo bò kote Bennadad, wa peyi Siri, ki te rete lavil Damas, ak mesaj sa a:
3 There is a league between me and thee, as there was between my father and thy father, wherefore I have sent thee silver and gold, that thou mayst break thy league with Baasa king of Israel, and make him depart from me.
-Annou pase kontra yonn ak lòt, tankou zansèt nou yo te fè l' la. Men mwen voye bagay an lò ak bagay an ajan sa yo fè ou kado. Koulye a, kase kontra ou te pase ak Bacha, wa peyi Izrayèl la. Konsa, l'a blije wete sòlda li yo nan peyi mwen an.
4 And then Benadad heard this, he sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel: and they took Ahion, and Dan, and Abelmaim, and all the walled cities of Nephtali.
Wa Bennadad dakò avèk sa wa Asa te di l' la. Li voye chèf lame li yo al atake lavil peyi Izrayèl yo. Yo pran lavil Ijon, lavil Dann, lavil Abèl Mayim ak tout lavil nan pòsyon tè branch fanmi Neftali a ki te sèvi depo.
5 And when Baasa heard of it, he left off the building of Rama, and interrupted his work.
Lè Bacha vin konn sa, li wete tout sòlda li te kite nan lavil Rama yo, li sispann travay li t'ap fè pou ranfòse miray lavil la.
6 Then king Asa took all Juda, and they carried away from Rama the stones, and the timber that Baasa had prepared for the building: and he built with them Gabaa, and Maspha.
Lè sa a, wa Asa fè rele dènye moun nan peyi Jida pou wete wòch ak bwa wa Bacha te fè anpile pou ranfòse miray ranpa lavil Rama a. Wa Asa sèvi ak materyo sa yo pou ranfòse miray lavil Mispa ak miray lavil Gibeya.
7 At that time Hanani the prophet came to Asa king of Juda, and said to him: Because thou hast had confidence in the king of Syria, and not in the Lord thy God, therefore hath the army of the king of Syria escaped out of thy hand.
Lè sa a, pwofèt Anani vin jwenn Asa, wa peyi Jida a, li di l' konsa: -Se paske ou te pito mete konfyans ou nan lame wa peyi Siri a pase nan Seyè a, Bondye ou la, kifè lame wa peyi Siri a chape anba men ou.
8 Were not the Ethiopians, and the Libyans much more numerous in chariots, and horsemen, and an exceeding great multitude: yet because thou trustedst in the Lord, he delivered them into thy hand?
Eske moun Letiopi yo ak moun Libi yo ansanm pa t' fè yon gwo lame ak anpil cha lagè, anpil kavalye sou chwal? Malgre sa, Seyè a te lage yo nan men ou paske ou te mete konfyans ou nan li.
9 For the eyes of the Lord behold all the earth, and give strength to those who with a perfect heart trust in him. Wherefore thou hast done foolishly, and for this cause from this time wars shall arise against thee.
Seyè a ap veye tou sa k'ap pase sou latè. Li pa kite anyen chape pou l' ka bay moun ki mete tout konfyans yo nan li fòs ak kouraj. Men fwa sa a, ou resi pèdi tèt ou. Ou aji tankou moun fou. Se poutèt sa moun pral fè ou lagè san rete.
10 And Asa was angry with the seer, and commanded him to be put in prison: for he was greatly enraged because of this thing: and he put to death many of the people at that time.
Koze sa a te fè Asa fache anpil sou pwofèt la. Li fè yo fèmen l' nan prizon. Se depi lè sa a Asa konmanse ap maltrete kèk moun nan pèp la.
11 But the works of Asa the first and last are written in the book of the kings of Juda and Israel.
Tou sa wa Asa te fè depi premye jou li moute wa a rive jouk dènye jou a, nou jwenn sa ekri nan liv Istwa wa peyi Jida yo ak wa peyi Izrayèl yo.
12 And Asa fell sick in the nine and thirtieth year of his reign, of a most violent pain in his feet, and yet in his illness he did not seek the Lord, but rather trusted in the skill of physicians.
Asa te gen trantnevan depi li te wa, lè yon gwo maladi nan pye rann li enfim. Malgre sa, li pa t' al chache gerizon nan men Seyè a. Li te pito al kay dòktè.
13 And he slept with his fathers: and he died in the one and fortieth year of his reign.
Lè li mouri, li t'ap mache sou karanteyennan depi li te wa.
14 And they buried him in his own sepulchre, which he had made for himself in the city of David: and they laid him on his bed full of spices and odoriferous ointments, which were made by the art of the perfumers, and they burnt them over him with very great pomp.
Yo antere l' nan kavo li te fè fouye pou tèt pa li nan lavil David la. Yo mete kadav la kouche sou yon payas fèt ak fèy santi bon ak tout kalite bon odè yo te pare jan yo konn fè l' la. Apre sa, yo limen yon gwo boukan pou li.
