2 Chronicles 21
1 And Josaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with them in the city of David: and Joram his son reigned in his stead.
Alò, Josaphat te dòmi avèk zansèt li yo, e li te antere avèk zansèt li yo nan vil David la; e Joram, fis li a, te vin wa nan plas li.
2 And he had brethren the sons of Josaphat, Azarias, and Jahiel, and Zacharias, and Azaria, and Michael, and Saphatias, all these were the sons of Josaphat king of Juda.
Joram te gen frè, fis a Josaphat yo: Azaria, Micaël, avèk Schephathia. Tout sila yo te fis a Josaphat, wa Israël la.
3 And their father gave them great gifts of silver, and of gold, and pensions, with strong cities in Juda: but the kingdom he gave to Joram, because he was the eldest.
Papa yo te ba yo anpil kado an ajan, lò, avèk bagay presye, avèk vil fòtifye nan Juda, men li te bay wayòm nan a Joram akoz li te premye ne.
4 So Joram rose up over the kingdom of his father: and when he had established himself, he slew all his brethren with the sword, and some of the princes of Israel.
Lè Joram te fin kontwole wayòm papa li, e te fè pozisyon li byen solid, li te touye tout frè li yo avèk nepe, ansanm ak kèk nan chèf Israël yo tou.
5 Joram was two and thirty years old when he began to reign: and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.
Joram te gen trann-dezan lè l te devni wa e li te renye pandan uitan Jérusalem.
6 And he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, as the house of Achab had done: for his wife was a daughter of Achab, and he did evil in the sight of the Lord.
Li te mache nan chemen a wa Israël yo, menm jan avèk lakay Achab, (paske fi Achab la te madanm li) e li te fè mal nan zye a SENYÈ a.
7 But the Lord would not destroy the house of David: because of the covenant which he had made with him: and because he had promised to give a lamp to him, and to his sons for ever.
Men SENYÈ a pa t vle detwi lakay David akoz akò ke Li te fè ak David la, e akoz Li te fè pwomès pou bay yon lanp pou li avèk fis li yo jis pou tout tan.
8 In those days Edom revolted, from being subject to Juda, and made themselves a king.
Pandan jou li yo, Édom te fè rebèl kont otorite Juda yo, e yo te etabli yon wayòm pou kont yo.
9 And Joram went over with his princes, and all his cavalry with him, and rose in the night, and defeated the Edomites who had surrounded him, and all the captains of his cavalry.
Konsa, Joram te travèse avèk chèf li yo ak tout cha li yo avèk li. Li te leve pandan nwit lan, e li te touye Edomit ki te antoure li yo, avèk chèf a cha yo.
10 However Edom revolted, from being under the dominion of Juda unto this day: at that time Lobna also revolted, from being under his hand. For he had forsaken the Lord the God of his fathers:
Akoz sa, Édom te fè rebèl kont Juda jis rive Jodi a. Epi Libna te fè rebèl menm lè a kont otorite li, akoz li te bliye SENYÈ a, Bondye a zansèt li yo.
11 Moreover he built also high places in the cities of Juda, and he made the inhabitants of Jerusalem to commit fornication, and Juda to transgress.
Anplis, li te fè wo plas nan mòn Juda yo. Li te fè pèp Jérusalem nan jwe pwostitisyon, e li te mennen Juda nan move wout.
12 And there was a letter brought him from Elias the prophet, in which it was written: Thus saith the Lord the God of David thy father: Because thou hast not walked in the ways of Josaphat thy father nor in the ways of Asa king of Juda,
Pou sa a, yon lèt te vin kote li soti nan men Élie, pwofèt la. Li te di: “Konsa pale SENYÈ a, Bondye a papa zansèt ou a, David: ‘Akoz ou pa t mache nan chemen a Josaphat, papa ou, ak nan chemen Asa, wa Juda a,
13 But hast walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and hast made Juda and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to commit fornication, imitating the fornication of the house of Achab, moreover also thou hast killed thy brethren, the house of thy father, better men than thyself,
men ou te mache nan chemen wa Israël yo, e ou te fè Juda avèk pèp Jérusalem nan jwe pwostitisyon, jan lakay Achab te jwe pwostitisyon an. Anplis, ou te touye frè ou yo, pwòp fanmi pa w, ki te pi bon pase ou.
14 Behold the Lord will strike thee with a great plague, with all thy people, and thy children, and thy wives, and all thy substance.
Pou sa a, men gade, SENYÈ a va frape pèp ou a, fis ou yo, madanm ou yo ak tout byen ou yo avèk gwo malè.
15 And thou shalt be sick of a very grievous disease of thy bowels, till thy vital parts come out by little and little every day.
Ou va vin soufri yon maladi ki rèd, yon maladi zantray ou, jiskaske zantray ou vin sòti akoz maladi a.’”
16 And the Lord stirred up against Joram the spirit of the Philistines, and of the Arabians, who border on the Ethiopians.
SENYÈ a te boulvèse lespri Filisten yo kont Joram, ansanm ak Arab yo ki te nan lizyè Etyopyen yo.
17 And they came up into the land of Juda, and wasted it, and they carried away all the substance that was found in the king’s house, his sons also, and his wives: so that there was no son left him but Joachaz, who was the youngest.
Yo te vini kont Juda pou te atake li, e yo te fè pote ale tout posesyon ke yo te jwenn lakay wa a, ansanm avèk fis li yo, ak madanm li yo, jiskaske pa t gen fis ki te rete pou li, sof Joachaz, pi piti nan fis li yo.
18 And besides all this the Lord struck him with an incurable disease in his bowels.
Konsa, apre tout bagay sa a, SENYÈ a te frape li nan zantray li avèk yon maladi ki pa t kab geri.
19 And as day came after day, and time rolled on, two whole years passed: then after being wasted with a long consumption, so as to void his very bowels, his disease ended with his life. And he died of a most wretched illness, and the people did not make a funeral for him according to the manner of burning, as they had done for his ancestors.
Alò, li te vin rive pandan tan ekoule a, nan fen dezan, ke zantray li te sòti akoz maladi li a, e li te mouri avèk gwo doulè. Epi pèp li a pa t fè dife pou li tankou dife yo te fè pou papa zansèt li yo.
20 He was two and thirty years old when he began his reign, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem. And he walked not rightly, and they buried him in the city of David: but not in the sepulchres of the kings.
Li te gen trann-dezan lè l te vin wa e li te renye Jérusalem pandan uitan. Lè l te mouri li te san regrè a pèsòn. Yo te antere li lavil David, men pa nan tonm a wa yo.
