< 2 Chronicles 32 >
1 After these things faithfully described, Saneherib King of Asshur came and entred into Iudah, and besieged the strong cities, and thought to winne them for him selfe.
Apre zak fidelite sila yo, Sanchérib, wa Assyrie a, te vin atake Juda. Li te fè syèj a tout vil fòtifye yo, e li te fè plan pou pouse antre nan yo pou l domine yo pou kont li.
2 When Hezekiah sawe that Saneherib was come, and that his purpose was to fight against Ierusalem,
Alò, lè Ézéchias te wè ke Sanchérib te vini, e ke li te gen plan pou fè lagè sou Jérusalem,
3 Then he tooke counsell with his princes and his nobles, to stoppe the water of the fountaines without the citie: and they did helpe him.
li te deside avèk ofisye pa li yo ak gèrye pa li yo, pou koupe kouran dlo ki te ale deyò lavil la, e yo te ede li.
4 So many of the people assembled themselues, and stopt all the fountaines, and the riuer that ranne through the middes of the countrey, saying, Why should the Kings of Asshur come, and finde much water?
Pou sa, anpil moun te rasanble e te bouche tout sous avèk flèv ki te kouri nan zòn nan. Konsa, yo te di: “Poukisa wa Asiryen yo ta dwe vini pou jwenn tout dlo sa a?”
5 And he tooke courage, and built all the broken wall, and made vp the towers, and another wall without, and repayred Millo in the citie of Dauid, and made many dartes and shields.
Konsa, li te pran kouraj, e te rebati tout mi ki te kraze yo e te fè yo monte nan nivo tou li yo. Li te ranfòse lòt miray pa deyò pou te fè Millo lavil David la pi solid, e li te fè zam avèk boukliye defans an gran kantite.
6 And he set captaines of warre ouer the people, and assembled them to him in the broade place of the gate of the citie, and spake comfortably vnto them, saying,
Li te chwazi chèf militè sou pèp la, e te rasanble yo kote li nan plas kote pòtay vil la. Li te pale pawòl ki pou ankouraje yo. Li te di:
7 Be strong and couragious: feare not, neither be afraide for the King of Asshur, neither for all the multitude that is with him: for there be more with vs, then is with him.
“Rete fò e pran kouraj, pa pè ni dekouraje akoz wa Assyrie a, ni tout gran foul ki avèk l; paske sila ki avèk nou an pi gran ke sila ki avè l.
8 With him is an arme of flesh, but with vs is the Lord our God for to helpe vs, and to fight our battels. Then the people were confirmed by the wordes of Hezekiah King of Iudah.
Avèk li menm, se yon bra fèt an chè; men avèk nou, se SENYÈ Bondye pa nou an, pou ede nou goumen nan batay nou yo.” Konsa, pèp la te konte sou pawòl a Ézéchias yo, wa Juda a.
9 After this, did Saneherib King of Asshur send his seruants to Ierusalem (while he was against Lachish, and all his dominion with him) vnto Hezekiah King of Iudah and vnto all Iudah that were at Ierusalem, saying,
Apre sa Sanchérib, wa Assyrie a, te voye sèvitè li yo Jérusalem pandan li t ap fè syèj Lakis avèk tout lame li a avèk li kont Ézéchias, wa Juda a, e kont tout Juda ki Jérusalem yo. Li te di:
10 Thus saith Saneherib the King of Asshur, Wherein doe ye trust, that ye will remaine in Ierusalem, during the siege?
Konsa pale Sanchérib, wa Assyrie a: “Sou kilès n ap mete konfyans pou nou ta retire Jérusalem anba syèj?
11 Doeth not Hezekiah entice you to giue ouer your selues vnto death by famine and by thirst, saying, The Lord our God shall deliuer vs out of the hande of the King of Asshur?
Èske Ézéchias p ap egare nou pou fè nou vin mouri avèk grangou ak swaf, pandan l ap di: ‘SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, va delivre nou soti nan men a wa Assyrie a?’
12 Hath not the same Hezekiah taken away his hie places and his altars, and commanded Iudah and Ierusalem, saying, Ye shall worshippe before one altar, and burne incense vpon it?
Èske menm Ézéchias sa a pa t retire wo plas Li yo avèk lotèl Li yo, e te di a Juda avèk Jérusalem: ‘Nou va adore devan yon sèl lotèl e sou li, nou va brile lansan?’
13 Knowe ye not what I and my fathers haue done vnto all the people of other countreyes? were the gods of the nations of other landes able to deliuer their land out of mine hande?
Èske nou pa konnen sa mwen avèk zansèt mwen yo te fè a tout pèp nan lòt peyi yo? Èske dye nan nasyon yo te gen kapasite menm pou delivre peyi yo anba men mwen?
14 Who is he of al the gods of those natios (that my fathers haue destroied) that could deliuer his people out of mine hande? that your God should be able to deliuer you out of mine hand?
Kilès ki te gen pami tout dye a nasyon sila yo ke zansèt mwen yo pa t detwi nèt, ki ta kapab delivre pèp li a sòti nan men m pou Dye pa w la ta kapab delivre ou soti nan men m?
15 Nowe therefore let not Hezekiah deceiue you, nor seduce you after this sort, neither beleeue ye him: for none of all the gods of any nation or kingdome was able to deliuer his people out of mine hande and out of the hande of my fathers: howe much lesse shall your gods deliuer you out of mine hande?
Alò, pou sa, pa kite Ézéchias pase nou nan tenten, ni egare nou konsa. Ni pa kwè li, paske pa t gen dye nan okenn nasyon oswa wayòm ki te konn delivre pèp li nan men m ni soti nan men a zansèt mwen yo. Konbyen an mwens Dye pa nou an va delivre nou soti nan men m?”
16 And his seruants spake yet more against the Lord God, and against his seruant Hezekiah.
Sèvitè li yo te pale plis kont SENYÈ a, Bondye a, e kont sèvitè li a, Ézéchias.
17 He wrote also letters, blaspheming the Lord God of Israel and speaking against him, saying, As the gods of the nations of other countreies could not deliuer their people out of mine hand, so shall not the God of Hezekiah deliuer his people out of mine hande.
Anplis, li te ekri lèt yo pou meprize SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la, e pou pale kont Li, epi li te di: “Jan dye nasyon yo ak peyi yo pa t delivre pèp pa yo soti nan men m, konsa Bondye Ézéchias la p ap delivre pèp Li a soti nan men m.”
18 Then they cryed with a loude voyce in the Iewes speach vnto the people of Ierusalem that were on the wall, to feare them and to astonish them, that they might take the citie.
Yo te kriye sa byen fò ak gwo vwa nan langaj a Juda, vè pèp Jérusalem ki te sou miray la, pou fè yo pè e teworize yo, pou yo ta kab pran vil la.
19 Thus they spake against the God of Ierusalem, as against the gods of the people of the earth, euen the workes of mans hands,
Yo te pale sou Bondye Jérusalem nan kòmsi se youn nan dye a pèp lemond yo, zèv a men de lòm yo.
20 But Hezekiah the King, and the Prophet Isaiah the sonne of Amoz prayed against this and cryed to heauen.
Men Wa Ézéchias avèk pwofèt Ésaïe, fis a Amots la, te fè lapriyè sou sa a, e te kriye fò anvè syèl la.
21 And the Lord sent an Angel which destroyed all the valiant men, and the princes and captaines of the hoste of the King of Asshur: so he returned with shame to his owne lande. And when he was come into the house of his god, they that came foorth of his owne bowels, slewe him there with the sworde.
Konsa, SENYÈ a te voye yon zanj ki te detwi tout gwo gèrye, kòmandan ak chèf nan kan wa Assyrie a. Pou sa, li te retounen nan wont li ale nan pwòp peyi li. Epi lè li te antre nan tanp dye pa li a, kèk nan pwòp pitit pa li yo te touye li la avèk nepe.
22 So the Lord saued Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Ierusalem from the hande of Saneherib King of Asshur, and from the hande of all other, and maintained them on euery side.
Konsa, SENYÈ a te sove Ézéchias avèk moun Jérusalem yo soti nan men a Sanchérib, wa Assyrie a, soti nan men a tout ènmi li yo, e te gide yo tout kote.
23 And many brought offrings vnto the Lord to Ierusalem, and presents to Hezekiah King of Iudah, so that he was magnified in the sight of all nations from thencefoorth.
Epi anpil moun t ap pote don bay SENYÈ a Jérusalem ak kado byen chwazi a Ézéchias, wa Juda a, jis apre, li te fin egzalte nan men a tout nasyon yo.
24 In those dayes Hezekiah was sicke vnto the death, and prayed vnto the Lord, who spake vnto him, and gaue him a signe.
Nan jou sa yo, Ézéchias te vin malad jis rive pre lanmò. Li te priye a SENYÈ a. SENYÈ a te pale avèk li e te ba li yon sign.
25 But Hezekiah did not render according to the rewarde bestowed vpon him: for his heart was lift vp, and wrath came vpon him, and vpon Iudah and Ierusalem.
Men Ézéchias pa t remèt anyen pou benefis li te resevwa a, paske kè li te plen ògèy. Akoz sa, kòlè SENYÈ a te vini sou li avèk Juda ak Jérusalem.
26 Notwithstanding Hezekiah humbled him selfe (after that his heart was lifted vp) he and the inhabitants of Ierusalem, and the wrath of the Lord came not vpon them in the dayes of Hezekiah.
Men Ézéchias te vin desann ògèy kè li a, ni li menm, ni pèp Jérusalem nan, jiskaske kòlè pa t rive sou yo pandan jou a Ézéchias yo.
27 Hezekiah also had exceeding much riches and honour, and he gate him treasures of siluer, and of golde, and of precious stones, and of sweete odours, and of shieldes, and of all pleasant vessels:
Alò, Ézéchias te gen anpil richès avèk onè. Li te fè pou kont li trezò an ajan, lò, pyè presye, epis, boukliye defans ak tout kalite bagay ak gwo valè,
28 And of store houses for the increase of wheat and wine and oyle, and stalles for all beasts, and rowes for the stables.
anplis, depo pou konsève sereyal, diven avèk lwil, pak pou tout kalite bèt, avèk pak pou bann yo.
29 And he made him cities, and had possession of sheepe and oxen in abundance: for God had giuen him substance exceeding much.
Li te fè vil pou li menm, e te vin genyen bann mouton avèk twoupo an gran kantite, paske Bondye te ba li anpil richès.
30 This same Hezekiah also stopped the vpper water springs of Gihon, and led them streight vnderneath towarde the citie of Dauid Westwarde. so Hezekiah prospered in all his workes.
Se te Ézéchias ki te bouche sous piwo dlo Guihon yo, e te dirije yo rive nan pati lwès lavil David la. Ézéchias te byen reyisi nan tout sa li te fè.
31 But because of the ambassadours of the princes of Babel, which sent vnto him to enquire of the wonder that was done in the lande, God left him to trie him, and to knowe all that was in his heart.
Men nan afè mesaje ki sòti Babylone yo, ki te voye bò kote li pou aprann tout mèvèy ki te fèt nan peyi a, Bondye te kite li, pou L ta ka pase l nan eprèv pou wè tout sa ki te nan kè l.
32 Concerning the rest of the actes of Hezekiah, and his goodnesse, beholde, they are written in the vision of Ishiah the Prophet, the sonne of Amoz, in the booke of the Kings of Iudah and Israel.
Alò, tout lòt zèv Ézéchias yo avèk zèv fidèl li yo, vwala, yo ekri nan vizyon Ésaïe, pwofèt la, fis a Amots la, nan Liv A Wa Juda Avèk Israël Yo.
33 So Hezekiah slept with his fathers, and they buryed him in the highest sepulchre of the sonnes of Dauid: and all Iudah and the inhabitants of Ierusalem did him honour at his death: and Manasseh his sonne reigned in his stead.
Konsa, Ézéchias te dòmi avèk papa zansèt li yo, e yo te antere li nan chemen an ki monte kote tonm fis a David yo. Tout Juda avèk pèp Jérusalem nan te onore li nan lanmò li. Fis li a, Manassé te devni wa nan plas li.
