2 Chronicles 11
1 And when Rehoboam was come to Ierusalem, he gathered of the house of Iudah and Beniamin nine score thousande chosen men of warre to fight against Israel, and to bring the kingdome againe to Rehoboam.
Alò, lè Roboam te vini Jérusalem. Li te rasanble lakay Juda avèk Benjamin, san-katre-ven-mil mesye byen chwazi ki te gèrye, pou goumen kont Israël pou reprann wayòm nan pou Roboam.
2 But the worde of the Lord came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying,
Men pawòl SENYÈ a te vini a Schemaeja, nonm Bondye a, Li te di:
3 Speake vnto Rehoboam, the sonne of Salomon King of Iudah, and to all Israel that are in Iudah, and Beniamin, saying,
“Pale a Roboam, fis a Salomon an, wa a Juda a ak tout Israël nan Juda avèk Benjamin pou di:
4 Thus sayth the Lord, Ye shall not goe vp, nor fight against your brethren: returne euery man to his house: for this thing is done of me. They obeyed therfore the word of the Lord, and returned from going against Ieroboam.
‘Konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Nou pa pou monte ni goumen kont fanmi pa nou yo! Retounen chak mesye yo lakay yo, paske bagay sa a sòti nan Mwen menm.”’” Konsa, yo te koute pawòl SENYÈ a, e yo te retounen pou yo pa sòti kont Jéroboam.
5 And Rehoboam dwelt in Ierusalem, and buylt strong cities in Iudah.
Roboam te viv Jérusalem, e li te bati vil pou fè defans nan Juda.
6 Hee buylt also Beth-lehem, and Etam, and Tekoa,
Konsa li te bati Bethléem, Étham, Tekoa,
7 And Beth-zur, and Shoco, and Adullam,
Beth-Tsur, Soko, Adullam,
8 And Gath, and Maresha, and Ziph,
Gath, Maréscha, Ziph,
9 And Adoraim, and Lachish, and Azekah,
Adoraïm, Lakis, Azéka
10 And Zorah, and Aialon, and Hebron, which were in Iudah and Beniamin, strong cities.
Tsorea, Ajalon avèk Hébron, ki se vil fòtifye nan Juda ak nan Benjamin.
11 And he repaired the strong holdes and put captaines in them, and store of vitaile, and oyle and wine.
Anplis, li te ranfòse fò yo, e li te mete kòmandan ladan yo avèk depo manje, lwil ak diven.
12 And in all cities he put shieldes and speares, and made them exceeding strong: so Iudah and Beniamin were his.
Li te mete boukliye defans avèk lans nan chak vil yo, e li te byen fòtifye yo. Konsa, Juda avèk Benjamin te pou li.
13 And the Priests and the Leuites that were in all Israel, resorted vnto him out of all their coastes.
Anplis, prèt avèk Levit ki te nan tout Israël yo te kanpe avèk li soti nan landwa pa yo.
14 For the Leuites left their suburbes and their possession, and came to Iudah and to Ierusalem: for Ieroboam and his sonnes had cast them out from ministring in the Priestes office vnto the Lord.
Paske Levit yo te kite tè patiraj pa yo pou te rive Juda avèk Jérusalem, paske Jéroboam te bloke sèvis yo kòm prèt SENYÈ a.
15 And he ordeyned him Priests for the hie places, and for the deuils and for the calues which he had made.
Li te etabli prèt pa li yo pou kont li pou sèvi nan wo plas yo, pou imaj bouk yo avèk jenn bèf ke li te fè yo.
16 And after the Leuites there came to Ierusalem of all the tribes of Israel, such as set their heartes to seeke the Lord God of Israel, to offer vnto the Lord God of their fathers.
Sila yo nan tout tribi Israël ki te dispoze kè yo pou swiv SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la, te swiv yo rive Jérusalem pou fè sakrifis a SENYÈ a, Bondye a zansèt pa yo a.
17 So they strengthened the kingdome of Iudah, and made Rehoboam the sonne of Salomon mightie, three yeere long: for three yeere they walked in in the way of Dauid and Salomon.
Yo te fòtifye wayòm Juda a, e yo te bay soutyen a Roboam, fis Salomon nan pandan twazan, paske yo te mache nan chemen David avèk Salomon an pandan twazan.
18 And Rehoboam tooke him Mahalath ye daughter of Ierimoth the sonne of Dauid to wife, and Abihail the daughter of Eliab the sonne of Ishai,
Alò, Roboam te pran kòm madanm li, Mahalath, fi a Jerimoth la, fis a David la avèk Abichaïl, fi a Éliab la, fis a Jesse a.
19 Which bare him sonnes Ieush, and Shemariah, and Zaham.
Li te fè fis yo: Jeusch, Schemaria, avèk Zaham.
20 And after her he tooke Maakah ye daughter of Absalom which bare him Abiiah, and Atthai, and Ziza, and Shelomith.
Apre, li te pran Maaca, fi a Absalom an. Li te fè pou li Abija, Attaï, Ziza, avèk Schelomith.
21 And Rehoboam loued Maakah ye daughter of Absalom aboue all his wiues and his concubines: for he tooke eighteene wiues, and three score concubines, and begate eyght and twentie sonnes, and three score daughters.
Roboam te renmen Maaca, fi a Absalom an plis pase tout lòt madanm avèk ti mennaj li yo. Paske li te pran dizuit madanm avèk swasant mennaj, e li te fè venn-tuit fis ak swasant fi.
22 And Rehoboam made Abiiah the sonne of Maakah the chiefe ruler among his brethren: for he thought to make him King.
Roboam te chwazi Abija, fis a Maaca a kòm chèf e dirijan pami frè li yo, paske li te gen entansyon fè l wa.
23 And he taught him: and dispersed all his sonnes throughout all the countreis of Iudah and Beniamin vnto euery strong citie: and hee gaue them aboundance of vitaile, and desired many wiues.
Li te aji avèk sajès, e li te plase fis li yo nan tout teritwa a Juda avèk Benjamin nan tout vil fòtifye yo, e li te ba yo anpil manje. Epi li te chache anpil madanm pou yo.
