< 2 Kings 13 >
1 After Joash had been ruling Judah for almost 23 years, Jehu’s son Jehoahaz became the king of Israel. He ruled in Samaria [city] for 17 years.
Nan venn-twazyèm ane a Joas la, fis a Achazia a, wa Juda a, te devni wa sou Israël nan Samarie, e li te renye pandan di-setan.
2 He did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil and committed the same kind of sins that Jeroboam had committed, sins which led the people of Israel to sin. He did not stop committing those sins.
Li te fè mal nan zye a SENYÈ a e li te swiv peche a Jéroboam yo, fis a Nebath la, avèk sila li te fè Israël peche yo. Li pa t vire kite yo menm.
3 So Yahweh became very angry with the Israeli people, and he allowed the army of King Hazael of Syria and his son Ben-Hadad to defeat the Israelis many times.
Akoz sa, lakòlè SENYÈ a te limen kont Israël, e Li te livre yo nan men a Hazaël, wa Syrie a ak nan men a Ben-Hadad, fis a Hazaël la.
4 Then Jehoahaz prayed to Yahweh [for help], and Yahweh heeded him, because he saw that the army of the king of Syria was oppressing the Israelis.
Alò, Joachaz te sipliye SENYÈ a pou fè li favè, e SENYÈ a te koute li; paske Li te wè opresyon Israël la, jan Syrie t ap oprime yo.
5 Yahweh sent a leader to Israel, who enabled them to be freed from being controlled by Syria. After that, the Israeli people lived peacefully as they had done previously.
SENYÈ a te bay Israël yon liberatè. Konsa, yo te chape anba men Siryen yo. Konsa, fis Israël yo te viv nan tant yo, kòm oparavan.
6 But they still continued to commit the same kind of sins that Jeroboam and his family had committed and which led the Israelis to [also] sin. And the statue of the goddess Asherah remained in Samaria.
Sepandan, yo pa t vire kite peche lakay Jéroboam yo, avèk sila li te fè Israël peche yo, men li te mache nan yo; epi zidòl Astarté a te toujou kanpe Samarie.
7 Jehoahaz had only 50 men who rode on horses and ten chariots and 10,000 other soldiers, because the army of Syria had killed all the rest, trampling them like people walk on dirt.
Pou sa, Li te kite pou Joachaz yon lame ki pa t plis ke senkant chevalye avèk dis cha e di-mil sòlda apye; paske wa Syrie a te detwi yo e te fè yo vin tankou pousyè vannen.
8 [If you want to read about] [RHQ] everything else that Jehoahaz did, you can read about it in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
Alò tout lòt zèv a Joachaz yo, avèk tout sa li te fè ak pouvwa li, èske yo pa ekri nan Liv La A Kwonik Yo A Wa Israël Yo?
9 Jehoahaz died [EUP] and was buried in Samaria. Then his son Jehoash became the king.
Epi Joachaz te dòmi avèk zansèt li yo, e yo te antere li Samarie. Epi Joas, fis li a, te renye nan plas li.
10 Jehoash, the son of Jehoahaz, started to rule in Israel after King Joash had been ruling in Judah for 23 years. Jehoash ruled in Samaria for 17 years.
Nan trann-setyèm ane a Joas, wa Juda a, Joas, fis a Joachaz la te devni wa sou Israël Samarie e te renye pandan sèzan.
11 He did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil. He refused to turn away from worshiping idols, which was the sin that [many years earlier King] Jeroboam had told the Israeli people to commit.
Li te fè mal nan zye SENYÈ a; li pa t vire kite tout peche a Jéroboam yo, fis a Nebath la, avèk sila li te fè Israël peche yo; men li te mache ladan yo.
12 The other things that happened while Jehoash was king and all the things that he did are written in the book called ‘The Account of What the Kings of Israel Did’. In that account they wrote about Jehoash’s [army’s] victories, and their war with [the army of] King Amaziah of Judah.
Alò, tout lòt zèv a Joas yo avèk tout sa ke li te fè ak pouvwa li, avèk sila li te goumen kont Amatsia, wa Juda a, èske yo pa ekri nan Liv A Kwonik A Wa Israël Yo?
13 When Jehoash died, he was buried in Samaria where the [other] kings of Israel were buried. Then his son Jeroboam became king.
Konsa, Joas te dòmi avèk zansèt li yo e Jéroboam te chita sou twòn li an. Epi Joas te antere Samarie avèk wa Israël yo.
14 Elisha became very ill. Just before he died, King Jehoash went to Elisha and cried in front of him. [Saying the same words that Elisha had said when Elijah was taken to heaven], he said, “My father/master! My father/master! The chariots of us Israeli people and their drivers [are taking my master away]!”
Lè Élisée te vin malad avèk maladi ki te pran lavi li a, Joas, wa Israël la, te desann kote li, e te kriye sou li e te di: “Papa mwen, O Papa mwen, men cha Israël yo avèk chevalye li yo!”
15 Elisha said to him, “Bring to me a bow and some arrows!” So the king did that.
Élisée te di li: “Pran yon banza avèk flèch.” Konsa, li te pran yon Banza avèk flèch.
16 Then Elisha told the king to put his hands on the bow [and prepare to shoot some arrows]. And then Elisha put his own hands on the king’s hands.
Alò, li te di a wa Israël la: “Mete men ou sou banza a.” Epi li te mete men l sou li e Élisée te mete men l sou men wa a.
17 Then Elisha told him, “[Have someone] open that window toward the east.” So they opened it. Then Elisha said, “Shoot!” So the king did. Then Elisha said, “That is the arrow that [indicates that your army] will defeat the Syrian army. Your army will completely defeat their [army] at Aphek [town].”
Li te di: “Ouvri fenèt la vè lès!” Epi li te ouvri li. Alò, Élisée te di: “Tire!” Epi li te tire. Epi li te di: “Flèch viktwa SENYÈ a, menm flèch viktwa sou Syrie a; paske ou va bat Siryen yo nan Aphek jiskaske ou fin detwi yo.”
18 Then Elisha said, “Pick up the other arrows and strike the ground with them!” So the king picked up the arrows and struck the ground three times.
Epi li te di: “Pran flèch yo!” Epi li te pran yo. Li te di a wa Israël la: “Frape tè a!” Epi li te frape li twa fwa e te sispann.
19 But Elisha was angry with him. He exclaimed, “You should have struck the ground five or six times! If you had done that, your army would have defeated the Syrian [army] until they were completely wiped out! But now, [because you struck the ground only three times, ] your army will defeat them only three times!”
Pou sa, nonm Bondye a te fache avèk li e te di: “Ou te dwe frape l senk oswa sis fwa; epi konsa, ou t ap frape Syrie jiskaske ou fin detwi li. Men koulye a, se sèlman twa fwa ke ou va frape Syrie.”
20 Then Elisha died and was buried. Groups of raiders from Moab came to Israel each year during (spring/the time when the cold season was ending).
Élisée te mouri e yo te antere li. Alò, bann Moabit yo te fè envazyon teritwa a nan sezon prentan ane sila a.
21 One year, when some Israeli people were burying a man’s body, they saw a group of those raiders. [They were afraid, ] so quickly they threw that man’s body into the tomb where Elisha [had been buried, and they ran away]. But as soon as the man’s body touched Elisha’s bones, the dead man became alive again and jumped up!
Pandan yo t ap antere yon mesye, men vwala, yo te wè yon bann piyajè; epi yo te jete mesye a nan tonm Élisée a. Epi lè mesye a te touche zo Élisée yo, li te resisite e te kanpe sou pye l.
22 King Hazael of Syria [sent soldiers to] oppress the Israeli people all during the years that Jehoahaz [ruled Judah].
Alò Hazaël, wa Syrie a, te oprime Israël pandan tout jou a Joachaz yo.
23 But Yahweh was very kind [DOU] to the Israeli people. He helped them because of the agreement that he had made with [their ancestors] Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. He did not get rid of the Israelis, and he still has not rejected them.
Men SENYÈ a te fè yo gras, Li te gen mizerikòd pou yo, Li te vire kote yo akoz akò ke li te gen avèk Abraham, Isaac, avèk Jacob la e Li pa t detwi yo ni jete yo deyò prezans li jis rive nan moman sa a.
24 When Hazael the king of Syria died, his son Ben-Hadad became the king.
Lè Hazaël, wa Syrie a te mouri, Ben-Hadad, fis li a, te devni wa nan plas li.
25 [The army of] King Jehoash of Israel defeated [the army of] King Ben-Hadad three times, and recaptured the cities that Ben-Hadad’s army had captured during the time that Jehoash’s father Jehoahaz was ruling Israel.
Epi Joas, fis a Joachaz la, te reprann vil yo soti nan men a Ben-Hadad, fis Hazaël la, vil ke papa li te pran nan lagè soti nan men a Joachaz yo, papa li a. Twa fwa Joas te bat li e te reprann vil yo ki te pou Israël yo.
