1 Kings 15
1 Abijam became king of Judah in the eighteenth year of the reign of King Jeroboam, son of Nebat.
Alò, nan di-zuityèm ane a Wa Jéroboam, fis Nebat la, Abijam te vin wa sou Juda.
2 He reigned in Jerusalem for three years. His mother's name was Maacah, daughter of Abishalom.
Li te renye pandan twazan nan Jérusalem. Non manman li se te Maaca, fis a Abisalom lan.
3 Abijam committed all the sins his father had before him. He was not wholly dedicated to the Lord his God as his forefather David had been.
Li te mache nan tout peche a papa li te fè devan li yo. Kè li pa t dedye nèt a SENYÈ a, Bondye li a, tankou kè a papa zansèt li a, David.
4 Even so, for David's sake, the Lord his God let his descendants to continue to rule like a lamp, a son to rule after him and to make Jerusalem strong.
Men pou koz David, SENYÈ a, Bondye li a, te ba li yon lanp nan Jérusalem, pou fè leve monte fis li apre li, e pou etabli Jérusalem.
5 For David had done what was right in the Lord's sight, and had not deviated from anything the Lord commanded throughout his lifetime, except in the case of Uriah the Hittite.
Li te fè sa paske David te fè sa ki te dwat nan zye a SENYÈ a, e li pa t vire akote de nenpòt sa ke Li te kòmande li pandan tout jou lavi li, sof ke ka a Urie a, Etyen an.
6 (Rehoboam and Jeroboam were always at war with each other.)
Te gen lagè antre Roboam avèk Jéroboam pandan tout vi li.
7 The rest of what happened in Abijam's reign and everything that he did are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Judah. Abijam and Jeroboam were always at war with each other.
Alò, tout lòt zèv a Abijam avèk tout sa li te fè yo, èske yo pa ekri nan Liv Kwonik a Wa a Juda yo? Anplis, te gen lagè antre Abijam avèk Jéroboam.
8 Abijam died and was buried the City of David. His son Asa succeeded him as king.
Epi Abijam te dòmi avèk zansèt li yo, e yo te antere li nan lavil David. Asa, fis li a te devni wa nan plas li.
9 Asa became king of Judah in the twentieth year of the reign of Jeroboam, king of Israel.
Konsa, nan ventyèm ane a Jéroboam, wa Israël la, Asa te kòmanse renye kòm wa nan Juda.
10 He reigned in Jerusalem forty-one years. His grandmother's name was Maakah, daughter of Abishalom.
Li te renye pandan karanteyen ane Jérusalem. Non manman li se te Maaca, fi a Abisalom lan.
11 Asa did what was right in the Lord's sight, as his forefather David had done.
Asa te fè sa ki te dwat nan zye SENYÈ a tankou David, papa zansèt li a.
12 He expelled the cult prostitutes from the land and got rid of all of the idols that his forefathers had made.
Anplis, li te retire mal pwostitiye nan peyi a e li te retire tout zidòl ke zansèt li yo te fè yo.
13 He even dismissed his grandmother Maacah as queen mother, because she had made a disgusting idol. Asa had the idol chopped down and burned in the Kidron Valley.
Anplis, li te fè retire Maaca, manman li nan pozisyon rèn nan, paske li te fè yon imaj abominab tankou yon Astarté. Asa te koupe imaj abominab li a e li te brile li nan flèv Cédron an.
14 Though the high places were not removed, Asa was completely committed to the Lord all his life.
Men wo plas yo pa t retire. Malgre sa, kè Asa te dedye nèt a SENYÈ a pandan tout jou li yo.
15 He brought into the house of the Lord the silver and gold and the other items that he and his father had dedicated.
Li te fè antre nan kay SENYÈ a tout afè dedye pa papa li avèk tout afè dedye pa li menm; zouti fèt an ajan avèk lò.
16 Asa and Baasha, king of Israel, were always at war with each other.
Alò te gen lagè antre Asa avèk Baescha, wa Israël la pandan tout jou pa yo.
17 Baasha, king of Israel, attacked Judah and fortified Ramah to stop people coming from or going to Asa, king of Judah.
Baescha, wa Israël la, te monte kont Juda e te ranfòse Rama pou anpeche moun antre, oswa sòti kote Asa, wa Juda a.
18 So Asa took all the silver and gold that was left in the treasuries of the Lord's Temple and of the royal palace. He handed it over to his servants and sent them to Ben-hadad, son of Tabrimmon, the son of Hezion, king of Aram, who lived in Damascus, along with this message:
Asa te pran tout ajan avèk lò ki te rete nan trezò lakay SENYÈ a ak trezò lakay wa a e li te livre yo nan men a sèvitè li yo. Epi Wa Asa te voye yo bay Ben-Hadad, fis Thabrimmon an, fis a Hezjon an, wa Syrie a, ki te rete Damas la. Li te di:
19 “Let us make a treaty between us, just as there was between my father and your father. Look, I've sent you a gift of silver and gold. Go and break your treaty with Baasha, king of Israel, so that he will retreat and leave me alone.”
“Kite yon akò fèt antre ou menm avèk mwen, tankou antre papa ou avèk papa m. Gade byen, mwen voye ba ou yon kado ajan avèk lò. Ale kraze akò ou avèk Baescha, wa Israël la, pou li retire lame li a sou mwen.”
20 Ben-hadad accepted Asa's proposal and sent his army with its commanders to attack the towns of Israel. They captured the towns of Ijon, Dan, Abel-beth-maacah, and all Kinnereth, including all the land of Naphtali.
Konsa, Ben-Hadad te koute Wa Asa e te voye chèf lame li yo kont vil Israël yo, li te bat yo e pran Ijjon, Dan, Abel-Beth-Maaca, tout Kinneroth la ak tout teritwa Nephtali a.
21 When Baasha heard about this, he stopped fortifying Ramah and retreated to Tirzah.
Lè Baescha fin tande koze sa a, li te sispann ranfòse Rama e li te vin rete Thirtsa.
22 Then King Asa issued a proclamation throughout all Judah, with no exception. The people obeyed, and carried away the stones and the timbers Baasha had used for building up Ramah. King Asa used these building materials to strengthen Geba of Benjamin, as well as Mizpah.
Epi Wa Asa te fè yon pwoklamasyon a tout Juda——nanpwen pèsòn ki te eksepte——-epi yo tout te pote ale tout wòch nan Rama yo avèk bwa ke Baescha te sèvi pou bati yo. Wa Asa te bati avèk yo, Guéba nan Benjamin ak Mitspa.
23 The rest of what happened in Asa's reign, all his achievements, everything that he did, and the towns he built, are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Judah. But when he grew old he had disease in his feet.
Alò, tout lòt zèv Asa yo avèk tout pwisans li, tout sa li te fè ak vil ke li te bati yo, èske yo pa ekri nan Liv Kwonik a Wa a Juda yo? Men nan tan vyeyès li, li te aflije avèk maladi nan pye li.
24 Asa died and was buried with his ancestors in the City of David. His son Jehoshaphat succeeded him as king.
Konsa, Asa te dòmi avèk zansèt pa li yo e li te antere avèk zansèt li yo nan lavil David la, papa li. Epi Josaphat te renye nan plas li.
25 Nadab, son of Jeroboam became king of Israel in the second year of the reign of King Asa of Judah. He reigned in Israel for two years.
Alò, Nadab, fis a Jéroboam nan, te vin wa sou Israël nan dezyèm ane Asa a, wa Juda a e li te renye sou Israël pandan dezan.
26 He did what was evil in the Lord's sight. He followed the ways of his father and committed the same sins his father had made Israel commit.
Li te fè mal nan zye SENYÈ a e li te mache nan chemen papa li ak nan peche avèk sila li te fè Israël peche a.
27 Baasha, son of Ahijah of the tribe of Issachar, plotted a rebellion against him. Baasha murdered Nadab at the Philistine town of Gibbethon while Nadab and the whole Israelite army were besieging it.
Alò, Baescha, fis Achija a, a lakay Issacar a, te fè konplo kont Nadab, e Baescha te frape l fè l mouri nan Guibbethon, ki te apatyen a Filisten yo, pandan Nadab avèk tout Israël t ap fè syèj nan Guibbethon.
28 Baasha killed Nadab and took over as king in the third year of the reign of King Asa of Judah.
Konsa, Baescha te touye li nan twazyèm ane Asa a, wa Juda a e li te vin renye nan plas li.
29 As soon as he became king he killed all the rest of Jeroboam's family. He did not leave any of Jeroboam's descendants alive—he destroyed them all, as the Lord had said through his servant Ahijah the Shilonite.
Li te vin rive ke depi li te wa a, li te frape tout lakay Jéroboam. Li pa t kite a Jéroboam okenn moun vivan, jiskaske li te detwi yo nèt, selon pawòl ke SENYÈ a te pale pa sèvitè li a, Achija, Siloyit la.
30 This happened because of the sins Jeroboam had committed and had made Israel commit, and because he had made the Lord, the God of Israel, angry.
Akoz peche ke Jéroboam te fè yo e avèk sila, li te fè Israël peche yo, akoz pwovokasyon li avèk sila li te pwovoke SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la, a lakòlè.
31 The rest of what happened in Nadab's reign and everything that he did are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.
Alò, lòt zèv a Nadab yo avèk tout sa ke li te fè yo, èske yo pa ekri nan Liv Kwonik a Wa Israël yo?
32 Asa and Baasha, king of Israel, were always at war with each other.
Te gen lagè antre Asa avèk Baescha, fis a Achija a pandan tout jou pa yo.
33 Baasha, son of Ahijah, became king over all of Israel in the third year of the reign of King Asa in Judah. Baasha reigned in Tirzah for twenty-four years.
Nan twazyèm ane Asa a, wa a Juda a, Baescha, fis a Achija a, te devni wa sou tout Israël nan Thirtsa e li te renye venn-kat ane.
34 Baasha did what was evil in the Lord's sight and followed the way of Jeroboam and his sin, which he had made Israel commit.
Li te fè mal nan zye SENYÈ a e li te mache nan chemen Jéroboam ak nan peche pa li avèk sila li te fè Israël peche yo.
