< Chronicles II 21 >

1 And Josaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David: and Joran his son reigned in his stead.
Alò, Josaphat te dòmi avèk zansèt li yo, e li te antere avèk zansèt li yo nan vil David la; e Joram, fis li a, te vin wa nan plas li.
2 And he had brothers, the six sons of Josaphat, Azarias, and Jeiel, and Zacharias, and Azarias, and Michael, and Zaphatias: all these [were] the sons of Josaphat king of Juda.
Joram te gen frè, fis a Josaphat yo: Azaria, Micaël, avèk Schephathia. Tout sila yo te fis a Josaphat, wa Israël la.
3 And their father gave them many gifts, silver, and gold, and arms, together with fortified cities in Juda: but he gave the kingdom to Joram, for he [was] the firstborn.
Papa yo te ba yo anpil kado an ajan, lò, avèk bagay presye, avèk vil fòtifye nan Juda, men li te bay wayòm nan a Joram akoz li te premye ne.
4 And Joram entered upon his kingdom, and strengthened himself, and killed all his brothers with the sword, and [some] of the princes of Israel.
Lè Joram te fin kontwole wayòm papa li, e te fè pozisyon li byen solid, li te touye tout frè li yo avèk nepe, ansanm ak kèk nan chèf Israël yo tou.
5 When he was thirty and two years old, Joram succeeded to his kingdom, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.
Joram te gen trann-dezan lè l te devni wa e li te renye pandan uitan Jérusalem.
6 And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, as did the house of Achaab; for a daughter of Achaab was his wife: and he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord:
Li te mache nan chemen a wa Israël yo, menm jan avèk lakay Achab, (paske fi Achab la te madanm li) e li te fè mal nan zye a SENYÈ a.
7 nevertheless the Lord would not utterly destroy the house of David, because of the covenant which he made with David, and as he said to him that he would give a light to him and his sons for ever.
Men SENYÈ a pa t vle detwi lakay David akoz akò ke Li te fè ak David la, e akoz Li te fè pwomès pou bay yon lanp pou li avèk fis li yo jis pou tout tan.
8 In those days Edom revolted from Juda, and they made a king over themselves.
Pandan jou li yo, Édom te fè rebèl kont otorite Juda yo, e yo te etabli yon wayòm pou kont yo.
9 And Joram went with the princes, and all the cavalry with him: and it came to pass that he arose by night, and struck Edom that compassed him about, and the captains of the chariots, and the people fled to their tents.
Konsa, Joram te travèse avèk chèf li yo ak tout cha li yo avèk li. Li te leve pandan nwit lan, e li te touye Edomit ki te antoure li yo, avèk chèf a cha yo.
10 And Edom revolted from Juda until this day. Then Lomna at that time revolted from [under] his hand, because he forsook the Lord God of his fathers.
Akoz sa, Édom te fè rebèl kont Juda jis rive Jodi a. Epi Libna te fè rebèl menm lè a kont otorite li, akoz li te bliye SENYÈ a, Bondye a zansèt li yo.
11 For he built high places in the cities of Juda, and caused the dwellers in Jerusalem to go a-whoring, and led Juda astray.
Anplis, li te fè wo plas nan mòn Juda yo. Li te fè pèp Jérusalem nan jwe pwostitisyon, e li te mennen Juda nan move wout.
12 And there came to him [a message] in writing from Eliu the prophet, saying, Thus says the Lord God of your father David, Because you have not walked in the way of your father Josaphat, nor in the ways of Asa king of Juda,
Pou sa a, yon lèt te vin kote li soti nan men Élie, pwofèt la. Li te di: “Konsa pale SENYÈ a, Bondye a papa zansèt ou a, David: ‘Akoz ou pa t mache nan chemen a Josaphat, papa ou, ak nan chemen Asa, wa Juda a,
13 but have walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and have caused Juda and the dwellers in Jerusalem to go a-whoring, as the house of Achaab caused [Israel] to go a-whoring, and you have slain your brethren, the sons of your father, who were better than yourself;
men ou te mache nan chemen wa Israël yo, e ou te fè Juda avèk pèp Jérusalem nan jwe pwostitisyon, jan lakay Achab te jwe pwostitisyon an. Anplis, ou te touye frè ou yo, pwòp fanmi pa w, ki te pi bon pase ou.
14 behold, the Lord shall strike you with a great plague among your people, and your sons, and your wives, and all your store:
Pou sa a, men gade, SENYÈ a va frape pèp ou a, fis ou yo, madanm ou yo ak tout byen ou yo avèk gwo malè.
15 and you [shall be afflicted] with a grievous disease, with a disease of the bowels, until your bowels shall fall out day by day with the sickness.
Ou va vin soufri yon maladi ki rèd, yon maladi zantray ou, jiskaske zantray ou vin sòti akoz maladi a.’”
16 So the Lord stirred up the Philistines against Joram, and the Arabians, and those who bordered on the Aethiopians:
SENYÈ a te boulvèse lespri Filisten yo kont Joram, ansanm ak Arab yo ki te nan lizyè Etyopyen yo.
17 and they went up against Juda, and prevailed against them, and took away all the store which they found in the house of the king, and his sons, and his daughters; and there was no son left to him but Ochozias the youngest of his sons.
Yo te vini kont Juda pou te atake li, e yo te fè pote ale tout posesyon ke yo te jwenn lakay wa a, ansanm avèk fis li yo, ak madanm li yo, jiskaske pa t gen fis ki te rete pou li, sof Joachaz, pi piti nan fis li yo.
18 And after all these things the Lord struck him in the bowels with an incurable disease.
Konsa, apre tout bagay sa a, SENYÈ a te frape li nan zantray li avèk yon maladi ki pa t kab geri.
19 And it continued from day to day: and when the time of the days came [to] two years, his bowels fell out with the disease, and he died by a grievous distemper: and his people performed no funeral, like the funeral of his fathers.
Alò, li te vin rive pandan tan ekoule a, nan fen dezan, ke zantray li te sòti akoz maladi li a, e li te mouri avèk gwo doulè. Epi pèp li a pa t fè dife pou li tankou dife yo te fè pou papa zansèt li yo.
20 He was thirty and two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem. And he departed without honor, and was buried in the city of David, but not in the tombs of the kings.
Li te gen trann-dezan lè l te vin wa e li te renye Jérusalem pandan uitan. Lè l te mouri li te san regrè a pèsòn. Yo te antere li lavil David, men pa nan tonm a wa yo.
