2 Kings 18
1 And it comes to pass, in the third year of Hoshea son of Elah, king of Israel, Hezekiah son of Ahaz, king of Judah, has reigned;
Oze, pitit Ela, t'ap mache sou twazan depi li t'ap gouvènen peyi Izrayèl lè Ezekyas, pitit gason Akaz, moute wa nan peyi Jida.
2 he was a son of twenty-five years in his reigning, and he has reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Abi daughter of Zechariah.
Lè sa a, li te gen vennsenkan. Li gouvènen nan lavil Jerizalèm pandan ventnevan. Manman l' te rele Abi. Se te pitit fi Zakari.
3 And he does that which [is] right in the eyes of YHWH, according to all that his father David did,
Li te mache dwat devan Seyè a, li te fè menm jan ak David, zansèt li a.
4 he has turned aside the high places, and broken in pieces the standing-pillars, and cut down the Asherah, and beaten down the bronze serpent that Moses made, for up to these days the sons of Israel were making incense to it, and he calls it “a piece of bronze.”
Se li menm ki te kraze tout tanp zidòl yo. Li kraze tout wòch yo te mete kanpe pou zidòl yo, li koupe estati Achera yo. Li kraze an miyèt moso estati sèpan an kwiv Moyiz te fè a, paske jouk lè sa a toujou pèp Izrayèl la t'ap boule lansan pou li. Yo te rele l' Newouchtan.
5 In YHWH, God of Israel, he has trusted, and after him there has not been like him among all the kings of Judah, nor [among any] who were before him;
Ezekyas te mete tout konfyans li nan Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la. Peyi Jida a pa janm gen yon wa tankou l', ni anvan l' ni apre l'.
6 and he cleaves to YHWH, he has not turned aside from after Him, and keeps His commands that YHWH commanded Moses.
Li te kenbe Bondye li fèm, li pa t' janm dezobeyi l'. Li te fè tou sa Seyè a te mande dapre lòd Seyè a te bay Moyiz.
7 And YHWH has been with him; in every place where he goes out he acts wisely, and he rebels against the king of Asshur, and has not served him;
Se poutèt sa, Seyè a te toujou la avè l'. Tou sa li te fè te byen soti. Ezekyas kenbe tèt ak wa peyi Lasiri a. Li derefize soumèt devan li.
8 he has struck the Philistines, even to Gaza and its borders, from a tower of watchers to the fortified city.
Li bat moun peyi Filisti yo, li kouri dèyè yo rive lavil Gaza ak sou fwontyè l' yo, li piye dènye kote yo te rete, depi ti bouk avanpòs yo rive nan gwo lavil ak ranpa yo.
9 And it comes to pass, in the fourth year of King Hezekiah—it [is] the seventh year of Hoshea son of Elah, king of Israel—Shalmaneser king of Asshur has come up against Samaria and lays siege to it,
Ezekyas t'ap mache sou katran depi li te wa nan peyi Jida, Oze, pitit Ela a menm, te gen sètan depi li t'ap gouvènen peyi Izrayèl la lè Salmanaza, wa peyi Lasiri a, anvayi peyi Izrayèl, li sènen lavil Samari.
10 and they capture it at the end of three years; in the sixth year of Hezekiah—it [is] the ninth year of Hoshea king of Israel—Samaria has been captured,
Sou bout twazan, li pran lavil la. Lè sa a, Ezekyas t'ap mache sou sizan depi li te wa, Oze menm te gen nevan depi li t'ap gouvènen peyi Izrayèl.
11 and the king of Asshur removes Israel to Asshur, and placed them in Halah, and in Habor [by] the river Gozan, and [in] cities of the Medes,
Salmanaza fè tout moun peyi Izrayèl yo prizonye. Li depòte yo nan peyi Lasiri. Li mete yon pati ladan yo lavil Ala, toupre larivyè Abò nan zòn Gozan an, yon pati nan lavil peyi Medi yo.
12 because that they have not listened to the voice of their God YHWH, and transgress His covenant—all that He commanded Moses, servant of YHWH—indeed, they have not listened nor done [it].
Lavil Samari te tonbe paske moun pèp Izrayèl yo pa t' obeyi Seyè a, Bondye yo a. Yo pa t' respekte kontra li te pase ak yo a. Yo pa t' fè tou sa Moyiz, sèvitè Seyè a, te mande yo fè. Yo pa t' koute l'.
13 And in the fourteenth year of King Hezekiah, Sennacherib king of Asshur has come up against all the fortified cities of Judah, and seizes them,
Wa Ezekyas t'ap mache sou katòzan depi li t'ap gouvènen peyi Jida lè Senakerib, wa peyi Lasiri, vin atake tout lavil ak gwo ranpa peyi Jida yo. Li pran yo.
14 and Hezekiah king of Judah sends to the king of Asshur at Lachish, saying, “I have sinned, turn back from off me; that which you put on me I bear”; and the king of Asshur lays on Hezekiah king of Judah three hundred talents of silver and thirty talents of gold,
Lè sa a, Ezekyas, wa peyi Jida, voye yon mesaj bay Senakerib ki te lavil Lakis. Li di l' konsa: —Sa m' fè a mal. Tanpri, pa atake m' ankò. Nenpòt kisa w'a egzije m' bay, m'ap ba ou li. Wa peyi Lasiri a egzije pou Ezekyas, wa peyi Jida a, ba li dis tòn ajan ak yon tòn lò.
15 and Hezekiah gives all the silver that is found in the house of YHWH and in the treasures of the house of the king;
Ezekyas ba li tout ajan ki te nan Tanp Seyè a ak nan trezò palè a.
16 at that time Hezekiah has cut off the doors of the temple of YHWH, and the pillars that Hezekiah king of Judah had overlaid, and gives them to the king of Asshur.
Li dekale tout lò li menm li te fè plake sou pòt ak chanbrann pòt Tanp Seyè a, li voye yo bay wa peyi Lasiri a.
17 And the king of Asshur sends Tartan, and the chief of the eunuchs, and the chief of the butlers, from Lachish, to King Hezekiah, with a heavy force, to Jerusalem, and they go up and come to Jerusalem, and they go up, and come in and stand by the conduit of the upper pool that [is] in the highway of the fuller’s field.
Apre sa, wa peyi Lasiri a rete lavil Lakis li voye kòmandan chèf lame li a, chèf gad pèsonèl li a ak chèf gad palè li a ansanm ak yon gwo lame bò kote Ezekyas. Yo moute lavil Jerizalèm pou atake l'. Lè yo rive la, yo moute kan yo sou wout ki mennen nan jaden kote yo lave twal ki fenk tenn yo, toupre kannal ki bay dlo nan rezèvwa anwo lavil la.
18 And they call to the king, and Eliakim son of Hilkiah, who [is] over the house, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah son of Asaph, the remembrancer, go out to them.
Yo voye chache wa a. Men se twa otorite ki soti vin jwenn yo. Se te Elyakim, pitit Ilkija a, ki te chèf moun k'ap travay nan palè a, Chebna, sekretè a, ak Joak, pitit Asaf la, ki te reskonsab achiv leta a.
19 And the chief of the butlers says to them, “Now say to Hezekiah, Thus said the great king, the king of Asshur: What [is] this confidence in which you have confided?
Chèf gad palè wa Lasiri a di yo konsa: —Ale di wa Ezekyas men mesaj gran wa a, wa peyi Lasiri a, voye ba li: Poukisa ou gen tout konfyans sa a?
20 You have said: Only a word of the lips! Counsel and might [are] for battle; now, on whom have you trusted that you have rebelled against me?
Ou konprann ou ka fè lagè ak bèl pawòl ase, san ou pa bezwen lespri ak bon sòlda? Sou ki moun ou apiye pou ou kenbe tèt ak mwen konsa?
21 Now behold, you have trusted for yourself on the staff of this broken reed, on Egypt; which a man leans on, and it has gone into his hand and pierced it! So [is] Pharaoh king of Egypt to all those trusting on him.
W'al mete konfyans ou nan peyi Lejip! Yon baton wozo tou kase! Anvan ou apiye sou li, l'ap antre nan men ou, l'ap blese ou. Farawon an, wa peyi Lejip ou wè a, se konsa li ye pou tout moun ki fè l' konfyans.
22 And when you say to me, We have trusted in our God YHWH, is it not He whose high places and whose altars Hezekiah has turned aside, and says to Judah and to Jerusalem, You bow yourselves before this altar in Jerusalem?
Nou pral di m' koulye a se nan Seyè a, Bondye nou an, nou mete konfyans nou! Atò, se pa kote nou te mete apa pou li yo ansanm ak tout lotèl li yo wa Ezekyas te fè disparèt nan peyi a, lèfini, li mande tout moun peyi Jida ak moun lavil Jerizalèm pou yo vin devan yon sèl lotèl la?
23 And now, please give a pledge for yourself to my lord the king of Asshur, and I give two thousand horses to you, if you are able to give riders for yourself on them.
Antann nou avè mèt mwen an, wa peyi Lasiri a. Lèfini, m'ap ban nou demil (2.000) chwal si nou ka jwenn demil sòlda pou moute yo.
24 And how do you turn back the face of one captain of the least of the servants of my lord, that you trust for yourself on Egypt for chariot and for horsemen?
Ou pa menm gen moun ase pou bat yonn nan pi piti chèf ki sou lòd wa mwen an! Epi se sou peyi Lejip w'ap konte pou jwenn cha lagè ak kavalye pou fè lagè?
25 Have I now come up without YHWH against this place to destroy it? YHWH said to me, Go up against this land, and you have destroyed it.”
Epitou, pa konprann se san konsantman Seyè a mwen vin atake peyi a pou m' detwi l'. Se Seyè a menm ki di m' atake peyi ou la pou m' detwi l'.
26 And Eliakim son of Hilkiah says—and Shebna and Joah—to the chief of the butlers, “Please speak to your servants [in] Aramaic, for we are understanding, but do not speak with us [in] Jewish, in the ears of the people who [are] on the wall.”
Lè sa a, Elyakim, pitit Ilkija a, Chebna ansanm ak Joak, di chèf gad palè a: —Tanpri, mèt. Pale arameyen ak nou. Nou konprann lang sa a. Men, pa pale ebre. Tout moun ki sou miray la ap koute.
27 And the chief of the butlers says to them, “For your lord, and to you, has my lord sent me to speak these words? Is it not for the men—those sitting on the wall—to eat their own dung and to drink their own water, with you?”
Men, chèf gad palè a di yo an ebre: —An! Nou konprann se pou wa nou an ansanm ak nou twa la a ase wa mwen an voye m' vin pale pawòl sa yo? Non. M'ap pale ak tout moun ki chita sou miray la tou. Yo menm tou yo pral manje poupou yo, yo pral bwè pipi yo ansanm ak nou!
28 And the chief of the butlers stands and calls with a great voice [in] Jewish, and speaks and says, “Hear a word of the great king, the king of Asshur—
Lè sa a, chèf gad palè a kanpe, li pran pale byen fò an ebre, li di konsa: —Koute sa gran wa a, wa peyi Lasiri a, voye di nou.
29 thus said the king: Do not let Hezekiah lift you up, for he is not able to deliver you out of his hand;
Li voye di nou pa kite Ezekyas twonpe nou. Li pa ka sove nou tande.
30 and do not let Hezekiah make you trust in YHWH, saying, YHWH certainly delivers us, and this city is not given into the hand of the king of Asshur.
Pa kite l' pran tèt nou lè l'ap di nou nou mèt sèten Seyè a pral sove nou, Seyè a p'ap lage lavil la nan men wa peyi Lasiri a.
31 Do not listen to Hezekiah, for thus said the king of Asshur: Make a blessing with me, and come out to me, and each eat of his vine, and each [eat] of his fig tree, and each drink the waters of his own well,
Pa koute wa Ezekyas! Wa peyi Lasiri a mande pou nou fè lapè avè l', pou nou rann tèt nou ba li. Konsa, nou tout ka manje rezen nan jaden rezen nou, n'a ka manje fig frans nan pye fig frans nou, n'a ka bwè dlo nan pi nou.
32 until my coming in, and I have taken you to a land like your own land, a land of grain and new wine, a land of bread and vineyards, a land of olive oil, and honey; and live, and do not die; and do not listen to Hezekiah when he persuades you, saying, YHWH delivers us.
Lè wa a va vin isit la pita, la pran nou, la mennen nou nan yon lòt peyi ki tankou peyi pa nou an, yon peyi kote ki gen anpil ble pou fè farin ak anpil rezen pou fè diven, yon peyi kote ki gen pye oliv pou fè lwil oliv ak anpil siwo myèl. Konsa n'a viv, nou p'ap mouri. Pa kite Ezekyas pran tèt nou pou nou kwè Seyè a va delivre nou.
33 Have each of the gods of the nations ever delivered his land out of the hand of the king of Asshur?
Eske bondye lòt nasyon yo te delivre yo anba men wa peyi Lasiri a?
34 Where [are] the gods of Hamath and Arpad? Where [are] the gods of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivvah, that they have delivered Samaria out of my hand?
Kote bondye moun Amat yo ak bondye moun Apad yo? Kote bondye moun Sefavayim yo, moun Ena ak moun Iva yo? Eske yo te sove peyi Samari anba men l'?
35 Who [are they] among all the gods of the lands that have delivered their land out of my hand, that YHWH delivers Jerusalem out of my hand?”
Nan tout bondye sa yo, kilès ki te rive sove moun yo anba men l'? Poukisa atò se Seyè a ki pou ta sove lavil Jerizalèm anba men l'?
36 And the people have kept silent, and have not answered him a word, for the command of the king is, saying, “Do not answer him.”
Men pèp la pa louvri bouch reponn, yo pa di yon mo paske wa a te bay lòd pou pesonn pa reponn.
37 And Eliakim son of Hilkiah, who [is] over the house, comes in, and Shebna the scribe, and Joah son of Asaph, the remembrancer, to Hezekiah, with torn garments, and they declare to him the words of the chief of the butlers.
Apre sa, Elyakim, pitit Ilkija a, ki chèf moun k'ap travay nan palè a, Chebna, sekretè a ak Joak, pitit Azaf la, ki te reskonsab achiv leta a, chire rad sou yo sitèlman sa te fè yo lapenn. Yo tounen al jwenn Ezekyas, yo rapòte l' tou sa chèf gad palè wa Lasiri a te di.
