2 Chronicles 10
1 And Rehoboam goes to Shechem, for all of Israel has come [to] Shechem to cause him to reign.
Roboam te ale Sichem, paske tout Israël te vini Sichem pou fè l vin 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 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 send and call for him, and Jeroboam comes in, and all of Israel, and they speak 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 “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 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 says to them, “Yet three days—then return to me”; and the people go.
Li te di yo: “Retounen kote mwen nan twa jou.” Konsa, pèp la te ale.
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?”
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 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 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 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 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 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?”
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 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;
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, my father laid a heavy yoke on you, and I add to your yoke; my father disciplined you with whips, and I—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 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.”
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 answers them sharply, and King Rehoboam forsakes the counsel of the aged men,
Wa a te reponn yo byen di, e Wa Roboam te echwe konsèy a ansyen yo.
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 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 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.
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 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 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 As for the sons of Israel who are dwelling in the cities of Judah—Rehoboam reigns over them.
Men pou fis Israël ki te rive nan vil a Juda yo, Roboam te renye sou yo.
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;
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 and Israel transgresses against the house of David to this day.
Konsa, Israël te vin nan rebelyon kont kay David la jis rive jodi a.
