2 Chronicles 32
1 After these things, and this truth, Sennacherib king of the Assyrians came and entered into Juda, and besieged the fenced cities, desiring to take them.
Apre zak fidelite sila yo, Sanchérib, wa Assyrie a, te vin atake Juda. Li te fè syèj a tout vil fòtifye yo, e li te fè plan pou pouse antre nan yo pou l domine yo pou kont li.
2 And when Ezechias saw that Sennacherib was come, and that the whole force of the war was turning against Jerusalem,
Alò, lè Ézéchias te wè ke Sanchérib te vini, e ke li te gen plan pou fè lagè sou Jérusalem,
3 He took counsel with the princes, and the most valiant men, to stop up the heads of the springs, that were without the city: and as they were all of this mind,
li te deside avèk ofisye pa li yo ak gèrye pa li yo, pou koupe kouran dlo ki te ale deyò lavil la, e yo te ede li.
4 He gathered together a very great multitude, and they stopped up all the springs, and the brook, that ran through the midst of the land, saying: Lest the kings of the Assyrians should come, and And abundance of water.
Pou sa, anpil moun te rasanble e te bouche tout sous avèk flèv ki te kouri nan zòn nan. Konsa, yo te di: “Poukisa wa Asiryen yo ta dwe vini pou jwenn tout dlo sa a?”
5 He built up also with great diligence all the wall that had been broken down, and built towers upon it, and another wall without: and he repaired Mello in the city of David, and made all sorts of arms and shields:
Konsa, li te pran kouraj, e te rebati tout mi ki te kraze yo e te fè yo monte nan nivo tou li yo. Li te ranfòse lòt miray pa deyò pou te fè Millo lavil David la pi solid, e li te fè zam avèk boukliye defans an gran kantite.
6 And he appointed captains of the soldiers of the army: and he called them all together in the street of the gate of the city, and spoke to their heart, saying:
Li te chwazi chèf militè sou pèp la, e te rasanble yo kote li nan plas kote pòtay vil la. Li te pale pawòl ki pou ankouraje yo. Li te di:
7 Behave like men, and take courage: be not afraid nor dismayed for the king of the Assyrians, nor for all the multitude that is with him: for there are many more with us than with him.
“Rete fò e pran kouraj, pa pè ni dekouraje akoz wa Assyrie a, ni tout gran foul ki avèk l; paske sila ki avèk nou an pi gran ke sila ki avè l.
8 For with him is an arm of flesh: with us the Lord our God, who is our helper, and fighteth for us. And the people were encouraged with these words of Ezechias king of Juda.
Avèk li menm, se yon bra fèt an chè; men avèk nou, se SENYÈ Bondye pa nou an, pou ede nou goumen nan batay nou yo.” Konsa, pèp la te konte sou pawòl a Ézéchias yo, wa Juda a.
9 After this, Sennacherib king of the Assyrians sent his servants to Jerusalem, (for he with all his army was besieging Lachis, ) to Ezechias king of Juda, and to all the people that were in the city, saying:
Apre sa Sanchérib, wa Assyrie a, te voye sèvitè li yo Jérusalem pandan li t ap fè syèj Lakis avèk tout lame li a avèk li kont Ézéchias, wa Juda a, e kont tout Juda ki Jérusalem yo. Li te di:
10 Thus saith Sennacherib king of the Assyrians: In whom do you trust, that you sit still besieged in Jerusalem?
Konsa pale Sanchérib, wa Assyrie a: “Sou kilès n ap mete konfyans pou nou ta retire Jérusalem anba syèj?
11 Doth not Ezechias deceive you, to give you up to die by hunger and thirst, affirming that the Lord your God shall deliver you from the hand of the king of the Assyrians?
Èske Ézéchias p ap egare nou pou fè nou vin mouri avèk grangou ak swaf, pandan l ap di: ‘SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, va delivre nou soti nan men a wa Assyrie a?’
12 Is it not this same Ezechias, that hath destroyed his high places, and his altars, and commanded Juda and Jerusalem, saying: You shall worship before one altar, and upon it you shall burn incense?
Èske menm Ézéchias sa a pa t retire wo plas Li yo avèk lotèl Li yo, e te di a Juda avèk Jérusalem: ‘Nou va adore devan yon sèl lotèl e sou li, nou va brile lansan?’
13 Know you not what I and my fathers have done to all the people of the lands? have the gods of any nations and lands been able to deliver their country out of my hand?
Èske nou pa konnen sa mwen avèk zansèt mwen yo te fè a tout pèp nan lòt peyi yo? Èske dye nan nasyon yo te gen kapasite menm pou delivre peyi yo anba men mwen?
14 Who is there among all the gods of the nations, which my fathers have destroyed, that could deliver his people out of my hand, that your God should be able to deliver you out of this hand?
Kilès ki te gen pami tout dye a nasyon sila yo ke zansèt mwen yo pa t detwi nèt, ki ta kapab delivre pèp li a sòti nan men m pou Dye pa w la ta kapab delivre ou soti nan men m?
15 Therefore let not Ezechias deceive you, nor delude you with a vain persuasion, and do not believe him. For if no god of all the nations and kingdoms, could deliver his people out of my hand, and out of the hand of my fathers, consequently neither shall your God be able to deliver you out of my hand.
Alò, pou sa, pa kite Ézéchias pase nou nan tenten, ni egare nou konsa. Ni pa kwè li, paske pa t gen dye nan okenn nasyon oswa wayòm ki te konn delivre pèp li nan men m ni soti nan men a zansèt mwen yo. Konbyen an mwens Dye pa nou an va delivre nou soti nan men m?”
16 And many other things did his servants speak against the Lord God, and against Ezechias his servant.
Sèvitè li yo te pale plis kont SENYÈ a, Bondye a, e kont sèvitè li a, Ézéchias.
17 He wrote also letters full of blasphemy against the Lord the God of Israel, and he spoke against him: As the gods of other nations could not deliver their people out of my hand, so neither can the God of Ezechias deliver his people out of this hand.
Anplis, li te ekri lèt yo pou meprize SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la, e pou pale kont Li, epi li te di: “Jan dye nasyon yo ak peyi yo pa t delivre pèp pa yo soti nan men m, konsa Bondye Ézéchias la p ap delivre pèp Li a soti nan men m.”
18 Moreover he cried out with a loud voice, in the Jews’ tongue, to the people that sat on the walls of Jerusalem, that he might frighten them, and take the city.
Yo te kriye sa byen fò ak gwo vwa nan langaj a Juda, vè pèp Jérusalem ki te sou miray la, pou fè yo pè e teworize yo, pou yo ta kab pran vil la.
19 And he spoke against the God of Jerusalem, as against the gods of the people of the earth, the works of the hands of men.
Yo te pale sou Bondye Jérusalem nan kòmsi se youn nan dye a pèp lemond yo, zèv a men de lòm yo.
20 And Ezechias the king, and Isaias the prophet the son of Amos, prayed against this blasphemy, and cried out to heaven.
Men Wa Ézéchias avèk pwofèt Ésaïe, fis a Amots la, te fè lapriyè sou sa a, e te kriye fò anvè syèl la.
21 And the Lord sent an angel who cut off all the stout men and the warriors, and the captains of the army of the king of the Assyrians: and he returned with disgrace into his own country. And when he was come into the house of his god, his sons that came out of his bowels, slew him with the sword.
Konsa, SENYÈ a te voye yon zanj ki te detwi tout gwo gèrye, kòmandan ak chèf nan kan wa Assyrie a. Pou sa, li te retounen nan wont li ale nan pwòp peyi li. Epi lè li te antre nan tanp dye pa li a, kèk nan pwòp pitit pa li yo te touye li la avèk nepe.
22 And the Lord saved Ezechias and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of the hand of Sennacherib king of the Assyrians, and out of the hand of all, and gave them treasures on every side.
Konsa, SENYÈ a te sove Ézéchias avèk moun Jérusalem yo soti nan men a Sanchérib, wa Assyrie a, soti nan men a tout ènmi li yo, e te gide yo tout kote.
23 Many also brought victims, and sacrifices to the Lord to Jerusalem, and presents to Ezechias king of Juda: and he was magnified thenceforth in the sight of all nations.
Epi anpil moun t ap pote don bay SENYÈ a Jérusalem ak kado byen chwazi a Ézéchias, wa Juda a, jis apre, li te fin egzalte nan men a tout nasyon yo.
24 In those days Ezechias was sick even to death, and he prayed to the Lord: and he heard him, and gave him a sign.
Nan jou sa yo, Ézéchias te vin malad jis rive pre lanmò. Li te priye a SENYÈ a. SENYÈ a te pale avèk li e te ba li yon sign.
25 But he did not render again according to the benefits which he had received, for his heart was lifted up: and wrath was enkindled against him, and against Juda and Jerusalem.
Men Ézéchias pa t remèt anyen pou benefis li te resevwa a, paske kè li te plen ògèy. Akoz sa, kòlè SENYÈ a te vini sou li avèk Juda ak Jérusalem.
26 And he humbled himself afterwards, because his heart had been lifted up, both he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem: and therefore the wrath of the Lord came not upon them in the days of Ezechias.
Men Ézéchias te vin desann ògèy kè li a, ni li menm, ni pèp Jérusalem nan, jiskaske kòlè pa t rive sou yo pandan jou a Ézéchias yo.
27 And Ezechias was rich, and very glorious, and he gathered himself great treasures of silver and of gold, and of precious stones, of spices, and of arms, of all kinds, and of vessels of great price.
Alò, Ézéchias te gen anpil richès avèk onè. Li te fè pou kont li trezò an ajan, lò, pyè presye, epis, boukliye defans ak tout kalite bagay ak gwo valè,
28 Storehouses also of corn, of wine, and of oil, and stalls for all beasts, and folds for cattle.
anplis, depo pou konsève sereyal, diven avèk lwil, pak pou tout kalite bèt, avèk pak pou bann yo.
29 And he built himself cities: for he had flocks of sheep, and herds without number, for the Lord had given him very much substance.
Li te fè vil pou li menm, e te vin genyen bann mouton avèk twoupo an gran kantite, paske Bondye te ba li anpil richès.
30 This same Ezechias was, he that stopped the upper source of the waters of Gihon, and turned them away underneath toward the west of the city of David: in ail his works he did prosperously what he would.
Se te Ézéchias ki te bouche sous piwo dlo Guihon yo, e te dirije yo rive nan pati lwès lavil David la. Ézéchias te byen reyisi nan tout sa li te fè.
31 But yet in the embassy of the princes of Babylon, that were sent to him, to inquire of the wonder that had happened upon the earth, God left him that he might be tempted, and all things might be made known that were in his heart.
Men nan afè mesaje ki sòti Babylone yo, ki te voye bò kote li pou aprann tout mèvèy ki te fèt nan peyi a, Bondye te kite li, pou L ta ka pase l nan eprèv pou wè tout sa ki te nan kè l.
32 Now the rest of the acts of Ezechias, and of his mercies are written in the book of the kings of Juda and Israel.
Alò, tout lòt zèv Ézéchias yo avèk zèv fidèl li yo, vwala, yo ekri nan vizyon Ésaïe, pwofèt la, fis a Amots la, nan Liv A Wa Juda Avèk Israël Yo.
33 And Ezechias slept with his fathers, and they buried him above the sepulchres of the sons of David: and all Juda, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem celebrated his funeral: and Manasses his son reigned in his stead.
Konsa, Ézéchias te dòmi avèk papa zansèt li yo, e yo te antere li nan chemen an ki monte kote tonm fis a David yo. Tout Juda avèk pèp Jérusalem nan te onore li nan lanmò li. Fis li a, Manassé te devni wa nan plas li.
