< 2 Chronicles 16 >
1 In the six and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa, Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah, and built Ramah, that he might not allow anyone to go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.
Nan trann-sizyèm ane règn Asa a, Baasha, wa a Israël la, te vin monte kont Juda, e li te ranfòse Rama pou anpeche ni antre, ni sòti, vè Asa, wa Juda a.
2 Then Asa brought out silver and gold out of the treasures of the house of YHWH and of the king's house, and sent to Ben Hadad king of Aram, who lived at Damascus, saying,
Konsa, Asa te pote fè sòti ajan avèk lò soti nan trezò lakay SENYÈ a avèk lakay wa a, e li te voye yo kote Ben-Hadad, wa Syrie a, ki te rete Damas la. Li te di:
3 "Let there be a treaty between me and you, as there was between my father and your father. Look, I have sent you silver and gold. Go, break your treaty with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me."
“Kite genyen yon alyans antre ou menm avèk mwen, tankou antre papa m ak papa ou. Gade byen, mwen te voye ba ou ajan avèk lò. Ale, kraze alyans ou an avèk Baasha, wa Israël la, pou li retire li sou mwen.”
4 Ben Hadad listened to king Asa, and sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel; and they struck Ijon, and Dan, and Abel Maim, and all the storage cities of Naphtali.
Konsa, Ben-Hadad te koute wa Asa. Li te voye chèf lame li yo kont vil Israël yo, e yo te frape Ijjon, Dan, Abel-Maïm, avèk tout vil depo Nephthali yo.
5 It happened, when Baasha heard of it, that he left off building Ramah, and let his work cease.
Lè Baasha te tande sa, li te sispann ranfòse Rama, e li te kite travay li.
6 Then Asa the king took all Judah; and they carried away the stones of Ramah, and its timber, with which Baasha had built; and he built therewith Geba and Mizpah.
Alò, Wa Asa te mennen tout Juda, yo te retire wòch Rama yo avèk gwo bwa ki t ap sèvi pou bati yo, e avèk yo, li te ranfòse Guéba avèk Mitspa.
7 At that time Hanani the seer came to Asa king of Judah, and said to him, "Because you have relied on the king of Aram, and have not relied on YHWH your God, therefore is the army of the king of Aram escaped out of your hand.
Nan lè sa a, Hanani, konseye a te vin kote Asa, wa Juda a. Li te di li: “Akoz ou te depann de wa Syrie a e ou pa t depann de SENYÈ a, Bondye ou a, pou sa, lame wa Syrie a gen tan chape nan men ou.
8 Weren't the Ethiopians and the Lubim a huge army, with chariots and horsemen exceeding many? Yet, because you relied on YHWH, he delivered them into your hand.
Èske Etyopyen yo avèk Libyen yo pa t yon lame ki vast avèk anpil cha ak chevalye? Men akoz ou te depann de SENYÈ a, Li te livre yo nan men ou.
9 For the eyes of YHWH run back and forth throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong in the behalf of them whose heart is perfect toward him. Herein you have done foolishly; for from now on you shall have wars."
Paske zye a SENYÈ mache toupatou sou latè pou Li kapab bay soutyen ki fò a sila ki gen kè dedye a Li nèt yo. Nou te aji an foli nan afè sa a. Anverite, depi koulye a, nou va toujou gen gè.”
10 Then Asa was angry with the seer, and put him in the prison; for he was in a rage with him because of this thing. Asa oppressed some of the people at the same time.
Alò, Asa te fache avèk konseye a, e li te mete li nan prizon, paske li te anraje avèk li pou bagay sa a. Epi nan menm lè a, Asa te oprime kèk moun nan pèp la.
11 Look, the acts of Asa, first and last, look, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
Alò, zèv Asa yo, soti nan premye a jis rive nan dènye a, veye byen, yo ekri nan Liv A Wa a Juda avèk Israël yo.
12 In the thirty-ninth year of his reign Asa was diseased in his feet; his disease was exceeding great: yet in his disease he did not seek YHWH, but to the physicians.
Nan trant-nevyèm ane règn li a, Asa te vin malad nan pye li. Maladi a te grav, men menm nan maladi a, li pa t chache SENYÈ a, men pito doktè.
13 Asa slept with his fathers, and died in the one and fortieth year of his reign.
Konsa, Asa te dòmi avèk zansèt li yo lè l fin mouri nan karanteyinyèm ane règn pa li a.
14 They buried him in his own tomb that he had dug out in the City of David, and laid him in the bed which was filled with spices and various kinds of sweet-scented herbs prepared by the perfumers' art, and they made a very great fire for him.
Yo te antere li nan pwòp tonm ke li te fouye pou li menm nan lavil David la, e yo te kouche li nan plas repo ke li te plen avèk plizyè kalite epis ki te mele selon metye a yon moun ki konn fè pafen; epi yo te fè yon trè gwo dife pou li.
