2 Kings 13
1 Jehoahaz, son of Jehu, became king of Israel in the twenty-third year of the reign of Joash, son of Ahaziah, king of Judah. He reigned in Samaria for seventeen years.
Joas, pitit wa Okozyas, t'ap mache sou venntwazan depi li t'ap gouvènen peyi Jida a lè Joakaz, pitit Jeou, moute wa nan peyi Izrayèl. Li gouvènen pandan disetan nan lavil Samari.
2 He did what was evil in the Lord's sight, and followed the sins that Jeroboam son of Nebat, had made Israel commit; he did not end them.
Men, li te fè sa ki mal nan je Seyè a, li te lage kò l' nan fè menm peche ak Jewoboram, pitit Nebat la, li lakòz pèp Izrayèl la peche tou. Li pa t' soti pou l' te kite vye chemen sa a.
3 So the Lord was angry with Israel, and he repeatedly allowed them to be defeated by Hazael, king of Aram, and his son Ben-hadad.
Se konsa li fè Seyè a fache sou moun peyi Izrayèl yo. Se sa ki fè Seyè a te lage yo nan men Azayèl, wa peyi Siri a, ak nan men Bennadad, pitit li, anpil fwa.
4 Jehoahaz asked the Lord for help, and the Lord responded to his request because he saw how badly the king of Aram was treating Israel.
Lè sa a, Joakaz lapriyè nan pye Seyè a. Seyè a reponn li paske li te wè jan wa peyi Siri a t'ap toupizi moun peyi Izrayèl yo.
5 The Lord gave Israel someone who would save them so they no longer were under Aramean rule. Then the Israelites were able to go back to living in safety as before.
Seyè a voye yon moun pou sove pèp la. Se konsa, moun peyi Izrayèl yo soti anba men pèp Siri a. Yo tanmen viv ankò ak kè poze tankou anvan.
6 Even so they did not end the sins that the house of Jeroboam had made Israel commit—they continued to follow them. The Asherah idol still stood in Samaria.
Atousa, yo pa t' sispann fè peche fanmi Jewoboram yo te lakòz pèp la te fè. Yo lage kò yo nan fè menm peche yo tou. Estati Astate a te toujou kanpe lavil Samari.
7 All that was left of Jehoahaz's army were fifty horsemen, ten chariots, and ten thousand soldiers, for the king of Aram had destroyed the rest, turning them into dust like that when grain is threshed.
Lame Joakaz te rete avèk sèlman senkant kavalye, dis cha lagè ak dimil (10.000) sòlda apye, paske wa peyi Siri a te touye tout lòt yo, li te pilonnen yo anba pye l' tankou pousyè.
8 The rest of what happened in Jehoahaz's reign, all he did, and his great achievements are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.
Rès istwa Joakaz la ansanm ak tou sa li te fè, n'a jwenn yo ekri nan liv Istwa Wa peyi Izrayèl yo.
9 Jehoahaz died and was buried in Samaria. His son Jehoash succeeded him as king.
Lè Joakaz mouri, yo antere l' lavil Samari. Se Joas, pitit gason l' lan, ki moute wa nan plas li.
10 Jehoash, son of Jehoahaz, became king of Israel in Samaria in the thirty-seventh year of the reign of King Joash of Judah, and he reigned for sixteen years.
Wa Joas t'ap mache sou trannsetan depi li t'ap gouvènen peyi Jida lè Joas, pitit Joakaz la, moute wa peyi Izrayèl. Li gouvènen peyi a pandan sèzan nan lavil Samari.
11 He did what was evil in the Lord's sight and did not end all the sins that Jeroboam, son of Nebat, had made Israel commit—he continued to follow them.
Men, li te fè sa ki mal nan je Seyè a, li te lage kò l' nan fè menm peche ak Jewoboram, pitit Nebat la, li lakòz pèp Izrayèl la peche tou. Li lage kò l' pi rèd ladan l'.
12 The rest of what happened in Jehoash's reign, all he did, and his great achievements such as his war against Amaziah, king of Judah, are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.
Tout rès istwa Joas la, tout sa li te fè, jan li te vanyan sòlda lè li t'ap fè lagè ak Amasya, wa peyi Jida a, tou sa te ekri nan liv Istwa Wa peyi Izrayèl yo.
13 Jehoash died, and Jeroboam sat on his throne. Jehoash was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel.
Lè li mouri, yo antere l' menm kote ak lòt wa peyi Izrayèl yo lavil Samari. Se Jewoboram ki moute wa nan plas li.
14 Elisha had become ill with a disease that would eventually kill him. Jehoash, king of Israel, went to visit him, and wept over him, saying, “My father, my father, the chariots and the horsemen of Israel!”
Elize tonbe malad. Se maladi sa a ki te pou pote l' ale. Joas, wa peyi Izrayèl la, al wè l'. Wa a kriye, li lage kò l' sou figi Elize, li di konsa: —Papa mwen! Papa mwen! Ou menm ki te tankou yon gwo lame pou pran defans peyi Izrayèl la, w'ap mouri vre!
15 Elisha told him, “Find a bow and some arrows.” So Jehoash found a bow and some arrows.
Elize di li: —Pran yon banza ak kèk flèch. Wa a pran yon banza ak kèk flèch.
16 Then Elisha said to the king of Israel, “Pick up the bow.” So the king picked up the bow. Elisha placed his hands on the king's hands.
Lè sa a, Elize di l' konsa: —Pare ou pou ou tire yon flèch. Wa a pare. Elize mete men pa l' sou men wa a.
17 “Open the east window,” he told him. So the king opened it and Elisha said, “Shoot!” So he fired an arrow. Then Elisha explained, “This is the Lord's victory arrow representing the arrow of victory over the Arameans. You will attack the Arameans in Aphek and finish them off.”
Li di l': —Louvri fennèt ki bay sou solèy leve a. Wa a louvri fennèt la. Elize di li: —Koulye a tire! Wa a tire flèch la, lè sa a Elize pale byen fò li di: —Men flèch Seyè a voye pou bay delivrans lan, flèch ki pral kraze peyi Siri a! Ou pral bat moun Siri yo lavil Afèk jouk ou a fini ak yo.
18 Then Elisha said, “Pick up the arrows!” So he picked them up. Elisha told the king of Israel, “Hit the ground with them!” He hit the ground three times, and then stopped.
Apre sa, Elize di wa a: —Pran lòt flèch yo! Wa a pran flèch yo. Elize di li: —Frape yo atè. Wa a frape yo atè an twa fwa epi li rete.
19 The man of God got angry with him, telling him, “You should have hit the ground five or six times. Then you would have attacked the Arameans until you had completely destroyed them. But now you will only attack the Arameans three times.”
Lè sa a, pwofèt la fache sou li, li di l' konsa: —Se pou ou te frape atè a senk fwa osinon sis fwa. Konsa, ou ta bat moun peyi Siri yo jouk ou ta fini nèt nèt ak yo. Koulye a, ou pral bat yo twa fwa ase.
20 Elisha died and was buried. Raiders from the country of Moab used to invade Israel every spring.
Elize mouri, yo antere l'. Chak lanne moun Moab yo te konn fè bann pou vin fè piyay nan peyi Izrayèl la.
21 On time some Israelites were burying a man when suddenly they saw some raiders coming, so they quickly threw the man into Elisha's tomb. As soon as he touched Elisha's bones, the man came back to life and stood up.
Yon lè moun peyi Izrayèl yo tapral antere yon moun mouri, yo wè yonn nan bann moun Moab yo, yo prese lage kadav la nan tonm Elize a epi yo met deyò. Kadav la al tonbe sou zosman Elize yo. Lamenm, mò a leve vivan, li kanpe sou de pye l'.
22 Hazael, king of Aram, caused problems for Israel through all Jehoahaz's reign.
Azayèl, wa peyi Siri a, te maltrete pèp peyi Izrayèl la pandan tout reny Joakaz.
23 But the Lord graciously helped them and was kind to them. He looked after them because of his agreement with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. Even to this day he's been unwilling to destroy them or to throw them out of his presence.
Men, Seyè a te aji byen ak moun peyi Izrayèl yo, li te gen pitye pou yo. Li pa t' kite moun fini ak yo, li te ede yo poutèt kontra li te pase ak Abraram, Izarak ak Jakòb. Li pa janm bliye pèp li a, jouk lè sa a.
24 When Hazael, king of Aram, died, his son Ben-hadad succeeded him as king.
Lè Azayèl, wa peyi Siri a, mouri, se Bennadad, pitit li, ki moute wa nan plas li.
25 Then Jehoash, son of Jehoahaz, recovered from Ben-hadad son of Hazael, the towns that Hazael had captured from his father Jehoahaz. Jehoash defeated Ben-hadad three times, and so recaptured the Israelite towns.
Wa Joas, pitit gason Joakaz, repran nan men Bennadad tout lavil Azayèl te pran yo lè li t'ap fè lagè ak Joakaz la, papa l'. Joas bat Bennadad an twa fwa, li reprann tout lavil peyi Izrayèl yo nan men l'.
