2 Chronicles 10
1 And Rehoboam went to Shechem; for all Israel were come to Shechem to make him king.
Roboam te ale Sichem, paske tout Israël te vini Sichem pou fè l vin wa.
2 And it came to pass, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat heard of it — for he was in Egypt, whither he had fled from the presence of king Solomon — that Jeroboam returned out of Egypt.
Lè Jéroboam, fis a Nebath la te tande sa, (paske li te an Égypte kote li te sove ale rive pou l kite prezans a wa Salomon), Jéroboam te retounen soti an Égypte.
3 And they sent and called him; and Jeroboam and all Israel came, and they spoke to Rehoboam, saying:
Pou sa, yo te voye lòd pou l vini. Lè Jéroboam avèk tout Israël te vini, yo te pale ak Roboam. Yo te di:
4 'Thy father made our yoke grievous; now therefore make thou the grievous service of thy father, and his heavy yoke which he put upon us, lighter, and we will serve thee.'
“Papa ou te fè fado nou rèd. Alò, pou sa, lache sèvis di a papa ou ak fado lou a ke li te konn mete sou nou an, e nou va sèvi ou.”
5 And he said unto them: 'Come again unto me after three days.' And the people departed.
Li te di yo: “Retounen kote mwen nan twa jou.” Konsa, pèp la te ale.
6 And king Rehoboam took counsel with the old men, that had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, saying: 'What counsel give ye me to return answer to this people?'
Alò, Wa Roboam te fè konsiltasyon avèk ansyen ki te konn sèvi papa li yo, Salomon pandan li te vivan an. Li te mande yo: “Ki konsèy n ap ban mwen pou reponn a pèp sila a?”
7 And they spoke unto him, saying: 'If thou be kind to this people, and please them, and speak good words to them, then they will be thy servants for ever.'
Yo te pale avèk li e te di: “Si ou va aji nan dousè avèk pèp sa a, si ou va fè yo kontan e pale pawòl dous ak yo, alò, yo va vin sèvi ou nèt.”
8 But he forsook the counsel of the old men which they had given him, and took counsel with the young men that were grown up with him, that stood before him.
Men li te echwe konsèy ansyen yo te bay li yo, pou l te konsilte jennonm ki te grandi ansanm avè l e ki te kanpe devan l.
9 And he said unto them: 'What counsel give ye, that we may return answer to this people, who have spoken to me, saying: Make the yoke that thy father did put upon us lighter?'
Konsa, li te mande yo: “Ki konsèy n ap ban mwen pou m ta reponn pèp sila a, ki te pale avèk mwen, ki te di: ‘Fè fado ke papa ou te konn mete sou nou an vin pi lejè?’”
10 And the young men that were grown up with him spoke unto him, saying: 'Thus shalt thou say unto the people that spoke unto thee, saying: Thy father made our yoke heavy, but make thou it lighter unto us; thus shalt thou say unto them: My little finger is thicker than my father's loins.
Jennonm ki te konn grandi avèk li yo te pale avèk li. Yo te di: “Konsa ou va reponn a pèp sila ki te pale avèk ou a, ki te di: ‘Papa ou te fè jouk nou lou; men ou menm, fè l pi lejè pou nou.’ Konsa, ou va reponn yo: ‘Ti dwèt mwen pi gwo pase ren papa m!
11 And now whereas my father did lade you with a heavy yoke, I will add to your yoke; my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.'
Konsi papa m te chaje nou avèk yon jouk lou, mwen va mete anplis sou jouk nou an. Papa m te konn disipline avèk fwèt, men mwen menm, avèk eskòpyon.’”
12 So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam the third day, as the king bade, saying: 'Come to me again the third day.'
Konsa, Jéroboam avèk tout pèp la te parèt a Roboam nan twazyèm jou a jan wa a te mande lè l te di: “Retounen kote mwen nan twazyèm jou a.”
13 And the king answered them roughly; and king Rehoboam forsook the counsel of the old men,
Wa a te reponn yo byen di, e Wa Roboam te echwe konsèy a ansyen yo.
14 and spoke to them after the counsel of the young men, saying: 'My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add thereto; my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.'
Li te pale avèk yo selon konsèy a jennonm yo, e li te di: “Papa m te konn fè jouk nou lou, men mwen va mete anplis sou li. Papa m te fè disiplin avèk fwèt, men mwen va fè disiplin avèk eskòpyon.”
15 So the king hearkened not unto the people; for it was brought about of God, that the LORD might establish His word, which He spoke by the hand of Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
Konsa, wa a pa t koute pèp la, paske sa se te yon boulvèsman ki te soti nan Bondye, pou SENYÈ a ta kapab etabli pawòl ke Li te pale pa Achija, Silonit lan, a Jéroboam nan, fis a Nebath la.
16 And when all Israel saw that the king hearkened not unto them, the people answered the king, saying: 'What portion have we in David? neither have we inheritance in the son of Jesse; every man to your tents, O Israel; now see to thine own house, David.' So all Israel departed unto their tents.
Lè tout Israël te wè ke wa a pa t koute yo, pèp la te reponn wa a e te di: “Ki pòsyon nou gen nan David? Nanpwen eritaj pou nou nan fis Jesse a! Tout gason rive nan tant ou, O Israël! Koulye a, David, okipe pwòp lakay ou!” Konsa, tout Israël te pati rive nan tant yo.
17 But as for the children of Israel that dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.
Men pou fis Israël ki te rive nan vil a Juda yo, Roboam te renye sou yo.
18 Then king Rehoboam sent Hadoram, who was over the levy; and the children of Israel stoned him with stones, so that he died. And king Rehoboam made speed to get him up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.
Epi Wa Roboam te voye Hadoram ki te chèf kòve yo, e fis Israël yo te lapide li ak kout wòch jiskaske li te mouri. Wa Roboam te fè vit monte cha li pou sove ale rive Jérusalem.
19 So Israel rebelled against the house of David unto this day.
Konsa, Israël te vin nan rebelyon kont kay David la jis rive jodi a.
