2 Chronicles 20
1 After this also came the children of Moab and the children of Ammon, and with them of the Ammonites against Iehoshaphat to battell.
Kèk tan apre sa, moun peyi Moab yo ak moun peyi Amon yo mete ansanm ak moun Mawon yo, yo vin atake Jozafa.
2 Then there came that tolde Iehoshaphat, saying, There commeth a great multitude against thee from beyonde the Sea, out of Aram: and beholde, they bee in Hazzon Tamar, which is En-gedi.
Yo vin bay Jozafa nouvèl la, yo di l' konsa: -Men yon gwo lame soti nan peyi Edon lòt bò Lanmè Mouri a vin atake ou. Yo gen tan pran lavil Azason Tama. Azason Tama, se yon lòt non yo te bay lavil Angedi.
3 And Iehoshaphat feared, and set him selfe to seeke the Lord, and proclaimed a fast throughout all Iudah.
Yon sèl laperèz pran Jozafa. Li pran desizyon mande Seyè a sa pou l' fè. Li bay lòd pou tout moun nan peyi a fè jèn.
4 And Iudah gathered them selues together to aske counsel of the Lord: they came euen out of all the cities of Iudah to inquire of the Lord,
Moun soti toupatou nan lavil peyi Jida yo vin lapriyè nan pye Seyè a.
5 And Iehoshaphat stoode in the Congregation of Iudah and Ierusalem in the house of the Lord before the new court,
Jozafa rete kanpe nan mitan tout pèp peyi Jida a, ansanm ak pèp lavil Jerizalèm lan, devan lakou nèf Tanp Seyè a.
6 And saide, O Lord God of our fathers, art not thou God in heauen? and reignest not thou on all the kingdomes of the heathen? and in thine hande is power and might, and none is able to withstand thee.
Li lapriyè byen fò, li di: -Seyè, Bondye zansèt nou yo, se ou menm ki Bondye nan syèl la. Se ou menm k'ap gouvènen tout nasyon sou latè a. Se nan men ou tout fòs ak tout pouvwa ye. Pesonn pa ka kenbe tèt avè ou.
7 Diddest not thou our God cast out ye inhabitants of this lande before thy people Israel, and gauest it to the seede of Abraham thy friende for euer?
Ou se Bondye nou. Se ou menm ki te mete tout moun ki te rete nan peyi sa a deyò fè plas pou pèp Izrayèl la. Lèfini, ou bay tout pitit Abraram, zanmi ou lan, peyi a pou l' rele yo pa yo pou tout tan.
8 And they dwelt therein, and haue built thee a Sanctuarie therein for thy Name, saying,
Se isit la yo rete, yo bati yon tanp pou ou. Yo te di
9 If euill come vpon vs, as the sworde of iudgement, or pestilence, or famine, we will stande before this house and in thy presence (for thy name is in this house) and will crie vnto thee in our tribulation, and thou wilt heare and helpe.
nenpòt malè ki ta ka tonbe sou yo pou pini yo: te mèt lagè, te mèt chatiman, te mèt move maladi osinon grangou, y'ap vin kanpe devan ou, devan Tanp sa a, paske se nan Tanp sa a ou ye. Nan tout mizè yo, y'a lapriyè nan pye ou. W'a tande yo, w'a delivre yo.
10 And now beholde, the children of Ammon and Moab, and mount Seir, by whome thou wouldest not let Israel goe, when they came out of the land of Egypt: but they turned aside from them, and destroyed them not:
Koulye a, men moun peyi Amon yo, moun peyi Moab yo ak moun peyi Edon yo vin atake nou. Lè zansèt nou yo t'ap soti kite peyi Lejip, ou pa t' kite yo antre nan peyi moun sa yo. Se konsa yo te chankre pou yo pa t' pase lakay yo, yo pa detwi yo.
11 Behold, I say, they reward vs, in comming to cast vs out of thine inheritance, which thou hast caused vs to inherit.
Gade ki jan y'ap fè nou peye sa jòdi a! Men y'ap vin mete nou deyò nan peyi ou te ban nou an!
12 O our God, wilt thou not iudge them? for there is no strength in vs to stand before this great multitude that commeth against vs, neither doe wee knowe what to doe: but our eyes are toward thee.
Ou se Bondye nou. Se ou menm ki pou pini yo paske nou pa gen fòs pou n' kanpe devan tout gwo lame sa a k'ap vin atake nou an. Nou pa konn sa pou nou fè! N'ap tann sa ou pral fè pou nou.
13 And all Iudah stoode before the Lord with their yong ones, their wiues, and their children.
Tout mesye peyi Jida yo te kanpe la devan kay Seyè a, ansanm ak madanm yo, pitit yo ak pitit pitit yo.
14 And Iahaziel the sonne of Zechariah the sonne of Benaiah, the sonne of Ieiel, the sonne of Mattaniah, a Leuite of the sonnes of Asaph was there, vpon whome came the Spirite of ye Lord, in the middes of the Congregation.
Lespri Seyè a desann sou yon moun Levi ki te la nan mitan yo. Li te rele Jaziyèl. Se te yon moun nan branch fanmi Zakari. Zakari sa a te pitit Benaja ki te pitit Jeyèl. Jeyèl te pitit Matanya ki te pitit Asaf.
15 And he said, Hearken ye, all Iudah, and ye inhabitantes of Ierusalem, and thou, King Iehoshaphat: thus saith the Lord vnto you, Feare you not, neither be afraide for this great multitude: for the battel is not yours, but Gods.
Jaziyèl di konsa: -Louvri zòrèy nou, nou tout moun peyi Jida, moun lavil Jerizalèm ansanm ak ou menm, wa Jozafa. Seyè a voye di nou: Pa dekouraje. Nou pa bezwen pè devan gwo lame sa a. Batay sa a se pa batay pa nou, se batay Bondye menm.
16 To morowe goe yee downe against them: beholde, they come vp by the cleft of Ziz, and ye shall finde them at the ende of the brooke before the wildernesse of Ieruel.
Denmen, nou mèt desann al atake yo. Yo pral pase moute sou ti bit flè yo. N'a kontre ak yo nan pwent ravin ki mennen nan dezè bò Jewouyèl la.
17 Ye shall not neede to fight in this battell: stand still, moue not, and behold the saluation of the Lord towardes you: O Iudah, and Ierusalem, feare ye not, neither be afraid: to morow goe out against them, and the Lord wilbe with you.
Nou p'ap bezwen nan goumen menm. N'ap annik pran pozisyon nou. Apre sa, tann. N'ap wè Seyè a ap ban nou gany. Wi, nou menm moun peyi Jida ak moun lavil Jerizalèm, nou pa bezwen pè, nou pa bezwen gen kè kase. Denmen, mache pran yo, paske Seyè a ap kanpe la avèk nou.
18 Then Iehoshaphat bowed downe with his face to the earth, and all Iudah and the inhabitants of Ierusalem fell downe before the Lord, worshipping the Lord.
Lè sa a, wa Jozafa mete ajenou, li bese tèt li byen ba devan Seyè a jouk fwon li rive atè. Tout moun peyi Jida yo ak moun lavil Jerizalèm yo bese tèt yo byen ba devan Seyè a tou pou adore l'.
19 And the Leuites of the children of the Kohathites and of the childre of the Corhites stood vp to prayse the Lord God of Israel with a loude voyce on hie.
Moun Levi branch fanmi Keyat yo ansanm ak moun Levi branch fanmi Kore yo leve kanpe, yo pran fè lwanj Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, byen fò.
20 And when they arose early in the morning, they went forth to the wildernesse of Tekoa: and as they departed, Iehoshaphat stoode and sayde, Heare ye me, O Iudah, and ye inhabitants of Ierusalem: put your trust in the Lord your God, and ye shalbe assured: beleeue his Prophets, and ye shall prosper.
Nan denmen maten, byen bonè, pèp la leve, li pati pou dezè Tekoa a. Le yo tapral leve lamach, Jozafa pale ak yo, li di konsa: -Nou menm moun peyi Jida ak moun lavil Jerizalèm, koute sa m'ap di nou! Mete konfyans nou nan Seyè a, Bondye nou an! Nou p'ap vole gadjè. Se pou nou kwè sa pwofèt li yo di nou an. N'ap genyen batay la.
21 And when he had consulted with the people, and appoynted singers vnto the Lord, and them that should prayse him that is in the beautifull Sanctuarie, in going forth before the men of armes, and saying, Prayse ye the Lord, for his mercy lasteth for euer,
Apre sa, li fè yon pale ak pèp la. Li fè kèk mizisyen pran mache devan sòlda yo ak rad yo konn mete lè gen gwo fèt seremoni. Yo t'ap mache devan sòlda yo, yo t'ap chante: -Lwanj pou Seyè a! Li p'ap janm sispann renmen nou!
22 And when they began to shoute, and to prayse, the Lord layed ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Iudah, and they slewe one another.
Lè yo tanmen chante ak kè kontan pou fè lwanj Seyè a, Seyè a lage yon sèl bouyay nan mitan moun Amon yo, moun Moab yo ak moun mòn Seyi yo ki te vin atake peyi Jida a, yo pèdi batay la.
23 For the children of Ammon and Moab rose against the inhabitants of mount Seir, to slay and to destroy them and when they had made an end of the inhabitantes of Seir, euery one helped to destroy another.
Moun peyi Amon yo ak moun peyi Moab yo atake lame moun mòn Seyi yo, yo detwi yo nèt. Lèfini, yo vire yonn sou lòt nan yon chen manje chen, yonn touye lòt.
24 And when Iudah came towarde Mizpah in the wildernes, they looked vnto the multitude: and behold, the carkeises were fallen to the earth, and none escaped.
Lè moun peyi Jida yo rive sou tèt yon ti bit kote yo ka wè tout dezè a, yo voye je yo gade kote lènmi yo ye a, yo wè yo tout te kouche mouri atè a. Pat gen yon moun ki te chape.
25 And when Iehoshaphat and his people came to take away the spoyle of them, they founde among them in abundance both of substance and also of bodies laden with precious iewels, which they tooke for themselues, till they could cary no more: they were three dayes in gathering of the spoyle: for it was much.
Jozafa ansanm ak lame li a desann al piye tou sa lènmi yo te kite. yo jwenn kantite bèt, pwovizyon, rad ak anpil lòt bagay ki te gen valè. Yo pase twa jou ap ranmase. Men te gen sitelman, yo pa t' ka pran tout pote ale.
26 And in the fourth day they assembled themselues in the valley of Berachah: for there they blessed the Lord: therefore they called the name of that place, The valley of Berachah vnto this day.
Sou katriyèm jou a, yo sanble nan fon benediksyon an pou fè lwanj Seyè a pou tou sa li te fè pou yo. Se poutèt sa yo rele fon an Beraka, non ki rete pou li jouk jounen jòdi a.
27 Then euery man of Iudah and Ierusalem returned with Iehoshaphat their head, to goe againe to Ierusalem with ioy: for the Lord had made them to reioyce ouer their enemies.
Lèfini, tout moun peyi Jida yo ak moun lavil Jerizalèm yo ak wa Jozafa alatèt yo tounen lavil Jerizalèm ak gwo kè kontan, paske se Seyè a menm ki te ba yo okazyon fè fèt sou do lènmi yo.
28 And they came to Ierusalem with viols and with harpes, and with trumpets, euen vnto the house of the Lord.
Lè yo rive lavil Jerizalèm, yo ale nan Tanp Seyè a, pandan yo t'ap jwe gita, bandjo ak twonpèt.
29 And the feare of God was vpon all the kingdomes of the earth, whe they had heard that the Lord had fought against ye enemies of Israel.
Lè moun lòt nasyon yo vin konnen jan Seyè a te kraze lènmi peyi Jida yo, yo tout te soti pè anpil.
30 So the kingdom of Iehoshaphat was quiet, and his God gaue him rest on euery side.
Se konsa rèy Jozafa a pase dous, san bri san kont. Bondye te fè tout peyi ki te nan vwazinaj yo viv byen avè l'.
31 And Iehoshaphat reigned ouer Iudah, and was fiue and thirtie yeere olde, when he began to reigne: and reigned fiue and twentie yeere in Ierusalem, and his mothers name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi.
Lè Jozafa moute sou fotèy wa peyi Jida a, li te gen trannsenkan sou tèt li. Li pase vennsenkan ap gouvènen lavil Jerizalèm. Manman l' te rele Azouba. Se te pitit fi Chilki.
32 And he walked in the way of Asa his father, and departed not therefrom, doing that which was right in the sight of the Lord.
Jozafa te swiv Asa, papa l', pye pou pye nan tou sa li te fè. Li te fè sa ki dwat devan Seyè a.
33 Howbeit the hie places were not taken away: for the people had not yet prepared their hearts vnto the God of their fathers.
Tansèlman, tanp zidòl yo te la toujou nan peyi a, kifè pèp la pa t'ap sèvi Bondye zansèt yo a ak tout kè yo.
34 Concerning the rest of the actes of Iehoshaphat first and last, beholde, they are written in the booke of Iehu the sonne of Hanani, which is mentioned in the booke of the kings of Israel.
Tou sa Jozafa te fè depi premye jou li te moute wa a rive jouk dènye jou a, n'a jwenn sa ekri nan liv Istwa Jeou, pitit Anani an, ki yon pòsyon nan liv Istwa Wa peyi Izrayèl yo.
35 Yet after this did Iehoshaphat King of Iudah ioyne himselfe with Ahaziah King of Israel, who was giuen to do euill.
Yon lè, Jozafa, wa peyi Jida a, te pase kontra ak Okozyas, wa peyi Izrayèl la, ki te fè anpil bagay ki te mal devan Seyè a.
36 And he ioyned with him, to make ships to go to Tarshish: and they made the shippes in Ezion Gaber.
Yo mete ansanm, yo fè fè anpil gwo batiman nan pò lavil Ezyongebè pou al fè trafik sou lanmè jouk nan peyi Tasis.
37 Then Eliezer ye sonne of Dodauah of Mareshah prophecied against Iehoshaphat, saying, Because thou hast ioyned thy selfe with Ahaziah, the Lord hath broken thy workes. and the shippes were broken, that they were not able to go to Tarshish.
Men Elyezè, pitit gason Dodava a, moun lavil Marecha, te avèti Jozafa. Li te di l': -Paske ou te mete tèt ou ak Okozyas, Seyè a pral kraze sa ou te bati a. Batiman yo kraze, yo pa janm rive vwayaje pou peyi Tasis.
