2 Kings 14
1 Amaziah, son of Joash, became king of Judah in the second year of the reign of Jehoash, son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel.
Nan dezyèm ane Joas la, fis a Joachaz la, wa Israël la, Amatsia, fis a Joas la, wa Juda a, te devni wa.
2 He was twenty-five when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for twenty-nine years. His mother's name was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem.
Li te gen laj a venn-senkan lè li te devni wa, e li te renye vent-nèf ane Jérusalem. Manman li te rele Joaddan, yon moun Jérusalem.
3 He did what was right in the Lord's sight, but not in the same way as his forefather David had. He did everything just as his father Joash had done.
Amatsia te fè sa ki bon nan zye SENYÈ a, men pa tankou David, zansèt li a. Li te fè menm selon tout sa ke Joas, papa li te konn fè yo.
4 But the high places were not removed. The people still were sacrificing and presenting burn offerings in those places.
Se sèl wo plas yo ki pa t retire. Pèp la te toujou fè sakrifis e brile lansan nan wo plas yo.
5 Once he was secure on the throne he executed the officials who had murdered his father the king.
Alò, li te vin rive ke depi wayòm nan te byen solid nan men l, ke li te touye sèvitè li yo ki te touye wa a, papa li.
6 But he did not execute the murderers' children, following the Lord's command in the law of Moses that “Fathers must not be put to death for their children's sins, and children must not be put to death for their father's sins. Everyone is to die for their own sin.”
Men fis a sila ki te mouri yo, li pa t mete yo a lanmò, an akò avèk sa ki ekri nan liv Lalwa Moïse la, jan SENYÈ a te kòmande a lè l te di: “Papa yo p ap mete a lanmò pou fis yo, ni fis yo p ap mete a lanmò pou papa yo, men chak moun va mete a lanmò pou pwòp peche pa l.”
7 Amaziah killed ten thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt. He attacked and captured Sela and renamed it Joktheel, which is what it is called to this very day.
Li te touye di-mil moun Édom nan Vale Sèl la, epi te pran Séla nan lagè. Li te rele li Yoqthéel, e se sa li ye jis rive jodi a.
8 Amaziah sent messengers to the king of Israel, Jehoash, son of Jehoahaz, son of Jehu, telling him, “Let's fight, face to face!”
Epi Amatsia te voye mesaje yo kote Joas, fis a Joachaz la, fis a Jéhu a, wa a Israël la. Li te di: “Vini, annou parèt fasafas.”
9 Jehoash, king of Israel, replied to Amaziah, king of Judah: “In Lebanon a thistle sent a message to a cedar, saying, ‘Give your daughter as a wife to my son.’ But a wild animal of Lebanon came by and trampled down the thistle.
Joas, wa Israël la, te voye kote Amatsia, wa Juda a, e te di: “Bwa pikan ki te Liban an te voye kote sèd ki te Liban an, e li te di: ‘Bay fi ou an maryaj a fis mwen an.’ Men te pase pa la yon bèt sovaj ki te Liban, e li te kraze bwa pikan an anba pye l.
10 You may indeed have defeated Edom. Now you've become arrogant. Stay home and enjoy your victory! Why provoke trouble that will bring you down, and Judah with you?”
Anverite, ou te bat Édom e kè ou vin plen ògèy. Rete lakay ou pou fè kè kontan. Pou ki rezon ou ta pwovoke twoub la jiskaske ou menm, ou ta tonbe, e Juda ansanm avèk ou?”
11 But Amaziah refused to listen, so Jehoash, king of Israel, came to attack him. He and Amaziah, king of Judah, met face to face at Beth Shemesh in Judah.
Men Amatsia te refize koute. Pou sa, wa Israël la te monte. Li menm avèk wa Juda a te parèt fasafas nan Beth-Schémesch ki pou Juda a.
12 The army of Judah was defeated by Israel, and ran away home.
Juda te bat pa Israël e yo te sove ale, yo chak nan pwòp tant pa yo.
13 Jehoash, king of Israel, captured Amaziah, king of Judah, the son of Joash, son of Ahaziah, at Beth Shemesh. Then Jehoash attacked Jerusalem and knocked down the city wall from the Ephraim Gate to the Corner Gate, about four hundred cubits in length.
Epi Joas, wa Israël la, te kaptire Amatsia, wa Juda a, fis a Joas la, fis a Achazia a, nan Beth-Schémesch, li te rive Jérusalem e li te chire miray Jérusalem nan soti nan Pòtay Ephraïm nan jis rive nan Pòtay Kwen an, distans a kat-san koude.
14 He removed all the gold and silver, and all the items found in the Lord's Temple and in the treasuries of the royal palace, and also some hostages. Then he went back to Samaria.
Li te pran tout lò avèk tout ajan ak tout zouti ki te twouve lakay SENYÈ a, nan trezò lakay wa a, ansanm ak kaptif yo e li te retounen Samarie.
15 The rest of what happened in Jehoash's reign, all he did, and his great achievements and his war with Amaziah, king of Judah, are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.
Alò, tout lòt zèv ke Joas te fè yo, avèk pwisans li, ak jan li te goumen avèk Amatsia, wa Juda a, èske yo pa ekri nan Liv A Kwonik A Wa Israël yo?
16 Jehoash died and was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel. His son Jeroboam succeeded him as king.
Konsa, Joas te dòmi avèk zansèt li yo, e li te antere Samarie avèk wa Israël yo. Jéroboam, fis li a, te devni wa nan plas li.
17 Amaziah, son of Joash, king of Judah, lived for fifteen more years after the death of Joash, son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel.
Amatsia, fis a Joas la, Wa Juda a, te viv kenzan apre lanmò Joas, fis a Joachaz la, wa Israël la.
18 The rest of the events that happened in Amaziah's reign are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Judah.
Alò, tout lòt zèv a Amatsia yo, èske yo pa ekri nan Liv A Kwonik A Wa A Juda yo?
19 A conspiracy against Amaziah took place in Jerusalem, and he ran away to Lachish. But men were sent after him and they murdered him there.
Yo te fè konplo kont li Jérusalem e li te sove ale rive Lakis. Men yo te voye dèyè li Lakis pou te touye li la.
20 They brought him back on horses and buried him in Jerusalem with his forefathers in the City of David.
Epi yo te mennen kò li sou cheval yo, e li te antere Jérusalem avèk zansèt li yo nan vil David la.
21 Then all the people of Judah made Amaziah's son Azariah king to replace his father. Azariah was sixteen years old.
Tout pèp Juda a te pran Azaria, nan laj sèzan, e yo te fè li wa nan plas a papa li, Amatsia.
22 Azariah recaptured Elath for Judah and rebuilt it after his father's death.
Li te bati Élath e li te remèt li bay Juda apre wa a te dòmi avèk zansèt li yo.
23 Jeroboam, son of Jehoash, became king of Israel in the fifteenth year of the reign of Amaziah, son of Joash, king of Judah. He reigned in Samaria for forty-one years.
Nan kenzyèm ane règn Amatsia, fis a Joas la, wa Juda a, Jéroboam, fis a Joas la, wa Israël la te devni wa Samarie, e li te renye pandan karanteyen ane.
24 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.
Li te fè mal nan zye SENYÈ a. Li pa t kite tout peche Jéroboam yo, fis a Nebath la, ki te fè Israël peche yo.
25 He restored the border of Israel to where it had been, from Lebo-hamath as far as the Sea of the Arabah, as the Lord, the God of Israel, had said through his servant Jonah, son of Amittai, the prophet, who came from Gath-hepher.
Li te restore lizyè Israël la soti nan antre Hamath jis rive nan Lamè Araba, selon pawòl SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la, ki te pale pa sèvitè li Jonas, fis a Amitthaï a nan Gath-Hépher.
26 The Lord had seen how badly the Israelites were suffering, both slave and free. No one was there to help Israel.
Paske SENYÈ a te wè soufrans Israël ki te tèlman anmè; paske pa t gen ni esklav, ni lib, ni pa t gen okenn moun ki pou ede Israël.
27 However, since the Lord had said that he would not wipe out Israel, he saved them through Jeroboam, son of Jehoash.
SENYÈ a pa t di ke li ta efase non Israël anba syèl la; men Li te delivre yo pa men Jéroboam, fis a Joas la.
28 The rest of what happened in Jeroboam's reign, all he did, his great achievements and the battles he fought, and how he recovered for Israel both Damascus and Hamath, are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.
Alò, tout lòt zèv Jéroboam yo avèk tout sa ke li te fè ak pouvwa li, jan li te goumen ak jan li te reprann pou Israël Damas avèk Hamath nan Juda, èske yo pa ekri nan Liv Kwonik A Wa Israël Yo?
29 Jeroboam died and was buried with the kings of Israel. His son Zechariah succeeded him as king.
Epi Jéroboam te dòmi avèk zansèt pa li yo, menm ak wa a Israël yo. Epi Zacharie, fis li a, te devni wa nan plas li.
