2 Chronicles 10
1 And Rehoboam goes to Shechem, for all of Israel has come [to] Shechem to cause him to reign.
Woboram moute lavil Sichèm, paske se la tout pèp Izrayèl la nèt te sanble pou fè li wa.
2 And it comes to pass, at Jeroboam son of Nebat—who [is] in Egypt because he has fled from the face of Solomon the king—hearing, that Jeroboam turns back out of Egypt;
Lè Jewoboram, pitit gason Nebat la, ki te nan peyi Lejip kote li te al kache pou Salomon an, pran nouvèl la, li kite peyi Lejip, li tounen lakay li.
3 and they send and call for him, and Jeroboam comes in, and all of Israel, and they speak to Rehoboam, saying,
Moun branch fanmi ki nan nò peyi a voye chache l'. Yo tout ansanm, yo al jwenn Woboram, yo di l' konsa:
4 “Your father made our yoke sharp, and now, make light [some] of the sharp service of your father, and [some] of his heavy yoke that he put on us, and we serve you.”
-Papa ou te di anpil ak nou. Li te peze nou anpil. Koulye a, fè yon leve men pou nou. Kite nou viv yon ti jan pi alèz, n'a sèvi ou nèt ale.
5 And he says to them, “Yet three days—then return to me”; and the people go.
Woboram di yo: -Tounen nan twa jou. Lè sa a, m'a ban nou repons. Epi moun yo al fè wout yo.
6 And King Rehoboam consults with the aged men who have been standing before his father Solomon in his being alive, saying, “How are you counseling to answer this people?”
Woboram menm al jwenn chèf fanmi ki te sèvi konseye pou Salomon, papa l', lè li t'ap viv la, li mande yo: -Kisa pou m' reponn pèp la? Ki konsèy nou ban mwen?
7 And they speak to him, saying, “If you become good to this people, and have been pleased with them, and spoken to them good words, then they have been servants to you [for] all the days.”
Yo reponn li: -Si ou aji byen ak pèp la, si ou asepte fè sa yo mande ou la, si ou pale byen ak yo, y'ap toujou sèvi ou,
8 And he forsakes the counsel of the aged men that they counseled him, and consults with the boys who have grown up with him, those standing before him,
Men, Woboram pa koute konsèy granmoun yo te ba li a, li al jwenn jenn gason ki te leve ansanm avè l' yo, lèfini ki te toujou la pou ba l' konsèy tou.
9 and he says to them, “What are you counseling, and we answer this people that have spoken to me, saying, Make light [some] of the yoke that your father put on us?”
Li di yo: -Ki konsèy nou ta ban mwen? Kisa pou m' reponn pèp la k'ap mande m' pou m' fè yon leve men pou yo?
10 And the boys who have grown up with him speak with him, saying, “Thus you say to the people who have spoken to you, saying, Your father made our yoke heavy, and you, make light [some] of our yoke; thus you say to them, My little finger is thicker than the loins of my father;
Jenn gason kanmarad li yo reponn li: -Men sa w'a di moun sa yo k'ap plenyen pou papa ou ki t'ap peze yo, epi k'ap mande ou fè yon leve men pou yo a. W'a di yo: Si papa m' te di ak nou, mwen menm m'ap pi di pase l'.
11 and now, my father laid a heavy yoke on you, and I add to your yoke; my father disciplined you with whips, and I—with scorpions.”
Wi, w'a di yo: Papa m' t'ap peze nou anba chay lou, mwen menm se mete m'ap mete sou chay la anko. Papa m' te bat nou ak fwèt, mwen menm m'ap pase fwèt la anba sann pou m' bat nou.
12 And Jeroboam comes in, and all the people, to Rehoboam on the third day, as the king spoke, saying, “Return to me on the third day.”
Twa jou apre vre, Jewoboram tounen ansanm ak tout moun Izrayèl yo vin jwenn wa Woboram, jan li te di yo a.
13 And the king answers them sharply, and King Rehoboam forsakes the counsel of the aged men,
Wa a pa koute konsèy granmoun yo, li pale di ak pèp la.
14 and speaks to them according to the counsel of the boys, saying, “My father made your yoke heavy, and I add to it; my father disciplined you with whips, and I—with scorpions.”
Li reponn yo jan jenn gason yo te ba l' konsèy la. Li di yo: -Papa m' te peze nou anba chay lou, mwen menm, m'ap mete sou chay n'ap pote deja a. Papa m' te bat nou ak fwèt, mwen menm, m'ap pase fwèt la anba sann pou nou.
15 And the king has not listened to the people, for the revolution has been from God, for the sake of YHWH’s establishing His word that He spoke by the hand of Abijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam son of Nebat.
Se konsa wa a pa t' asepte fè sa pèp la te mande l' la. Sa se travay Seyè a menm ki te vle pou sa li te voye Akija, pwofèt Silo a, al di Jewoboram, pitit Nebat la, rive vre.
16 And all Israel have seen that the king has not listened to them, and the people send back [word to] the king, saying, “What portion do we have in David? Indeed, there is no inheritance in a son of Jesse; [go], each to your tents, O Israel! Now see your house, O David!” And all [in] Israel go to their tents.
Lè pèp Izrayèl la wè wa a pa t' soti pou li fè sa yo te mande l' la, yo reponn wa a, yo di li: -Nou pa gen anyen pou nou wè ak David. Nou pa gen anyen pou n' separe ak pitit Izayi a. Nou menm pèp Izrayèl la, ann al lakay nou! Ann kite pitit David yo degaje yo pou kont yo ak fanmi yo! Se konsa moun pèp Izrayèl la vire do al lakay yo.
17 As for the sons of Israel who are dwelling in the cities of Judah—Rehoboam reigns over them.
Yo kite Woboram pou li gouvènen sèlman sou moun ki rete nan pòsyon tè branch fanmi Jida a.
18 And King Rehoboam sends Hadoram, who [is] over the tribute, and the sons of Israel cast stones at him, and he dies; and King Rehoboam has strengthened himself to go up into a chariot to flee to Jerusalem;
Apre sa, wa Woboram voye Adoram ki te reskonsab travay kòve yo al bò kote moun Izrayèl yo. Men, moun Izrayèl yo kalonnen li koutwòch jouk li mouri. Lè sa a, wa Woboram prese moute sou cha li, li kouri ale lavil Jerizalèm.
19 and Israel transgresses against the house of David to this day.
Depi lè sa a, moun pèp Izrayèl yo vire do bay moun fanmi David yo jouk jounen jòdi a.
