2 Chronicles 15
1 The Spirit of God came on Azariah the son of Oded:
Alò, Lespri Bondye a te vini sou Azaria, fis a Obed la.
2 and he went out to meet Asa, and said to him, "Hear me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin. The LORD is with you, while you are with him; and if you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake him, he will forsake you.
Li te sòti deyò pou rankontre Asa e li te di li: “Koute mwen, Asa e tout Juda avèk Benjamin: SENYÈ a avèk nou lè nou avèk Li. Epi si ou chache Li, Li va kite ou jwenn Li; men si ou abandone Li, Li va abandone ou.
3 Now for a long time Israel was without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law.
Pandan anpil jou, Israël te kon san vrè Bondye a, san enstriksyon, san prèt e san lalwa.
4 But when in their distress they turned to the LORD, the God of Israel, and sought him, he was found by them.
Men nan gran twoub yo, yo te vire kote SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la. Yo te chache Li e yo te jwenn Li.
5 In those times there was no peace to him who went out, nor to him who came in; but great troubles were on all the inhabitants of the lands.
Nan tan sa yo, pa t gen lapè pou sila ki sòti, ni sila ki antre a, paske anpil gwo zen te twouble tout moun ki te rete nan peyi yo.
6 They were broken in pieces, nation against nation, and city against city; for God troubled them with all adversity.
Nasyon te kraze pa nasyon, vil pa vil, paske Bondye te twouble yo avèk tout kalite gwo twoub.
7 But you be strong, and do not let your hands be slack; for your work shall be rewarded."
Men nou menm, kenbe fèm e pa pèdi kouraj, paske gen rekonpans pou travay nou yo.”
8 When Asa heard these words, and the prophecy of Azariah the son of Oded the prophet, he took courage and put away the abominations out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin and out of the cities which he had taken from the hill country of Ephraim; and he renewed the altar of the LORD, that was before the vestibule of the LORD.
Lè Asa te tande pawòl sila yo avèk pwofesi ke Azaria, fis a Obed la, te pale a, li te pran kouraj, e li te retire zidòl abominab yo soti nan tout peyi Juda avèk Benjamin yo, ak nan vil ke li te kaptire nan peyi kolin Éphraïm yo. Lè l fini, li te restore lotèl SENYÈ a ki te devan galri SENYÈ a.
9 He gathered all Judah and Benjamin, and those who lived with them out of Ephraim and Manasseh, and out of Simeon: for they fell to him out of Israel in abundance, when they saw that the LORD his God was with him.
Li te rasanble tout Juda avèk Benjamin avèk tout sila ki te sòti Éphraïm, Manassé ak Siméon yo, ki te rete avèk yo, paske anpil nan yo te vin jwenn li soti an Israël lè yo te wè ke SENYÈ a, Bondye a, te avèk li.
10 So they gathered themselves together at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa.
Konsa, yo te rasanble Jérusalem nan twazyèm mwa, nan kenzyèm ane, nan règn Asa a.
11 They sacrificed to the LORD in that day, of the spoil which they had brought, seven hundred head of cattle and seven thousand sheep.
Yo te fè sakrifis bay SENYÈ a nan jou sa a, sèt-san bèf avèk sèt-mil mouton soti nan piyaj ke yo te pote a.
12 They entered into the covenant to seek the LORD, the God of their fathers, with all their heart and with all their soul;
Yo te antre nan akò pou chache SENYÈ a, Bondye a zansèt pa yo a, avèk tout kè yo ak nanm yo;
13 and that whoever would not seek the LORD, the God of Israel, should be put to death, whether small or great, whether man or woman.
epi ke nenpòt moun ki te refize chache SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la, ta dwe mete a lanmò, piti kon gran, gason kon fanm.
14 They swore to the LORD with a loud voice, and with shouting, and with trumpets, and with cornets.
Anplis, yo te fè yon sèman bay SENYÈ avèk yon gwo kri, avèk twonpèt e avèk ti twonpèt wo vwa a.
15 All Judah rejoiced at the oath; for they had sworn with all their heart, and sought him with their whole desire; and he was found of them: and the LORD gave them rest all around.
Tout Juda te rejwi akoz sèman an, paske yo te sèmante avèk tout kè yo. Yo te chache Li ak kè onèt yo, e Li te kite yo jwenn Li. Konsa, SENYÈ a te ba yo repo tout kote.
16 Also Maacah, the mother of Asa the king, he removed from being queen, because she had made an abominable image for an Asherah; and Asa cut down her image, and made dust of it, and burnt it in the Kidron Valley.
Anplis, li te retire Maaca, manman a Wa Asa a, nan pozisyon rèn nan, akoz li te fè imaj li byen abominab tankou yon Astarté, e Asa te fè koupe imaj abominab li a. Li te kraze li, e li brile li nan flèv Cédron an.
17 But the high places were not taken away out of Israel: nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect all his days.
Men wo plas yo pat retire soti an Israël; sepandan, kè Asa te san repwòch pandan tout jou li yo.
18 He brought into God's house the things that his father had dedicated, and that he himself had dedicated, silver, and gold, and vessels.
Li te pote lakay SENYÈ a tout bagay dedye ki te pou papa li ak bagay dedye ki te pou li yo: ajan avèk lò avèk zouti.
19 There was no more war to the five and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa.
Epi pa t gen lagè ankò jis rive nan trann-senk ane règn a Asa a.
