2 Chronicles 25
1 Amaziah was twenty-five years old when he began to reign; he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Jehoaddan, of Jerusalem.
Amatsia te gen laj a venn-senkan lè l te devni wa, e li te renye vent-nevan Jérusalem. Non manman li te Joaddan de Jérusalem.
2 He did what was right in the eyes of Yahweh, but not with a whole heart.
Li te fè sa ki dwat nan zye SENYÈ a, sepandan, pa avèk tout kè l.
3 It came about that as soon as his rule was well established, he killed the servants who had murdered his father, the king.
Alò, li te vin rive depi wayòm nan te byen solid nan men l, ke li te touye sèvitè li yo ki te touye papa li, wa a.
4 But he did not put the children of the murderers to death, but acted according to what was written in the law, in the Book of Moses, as Yahweh had commanded, “The fathers must not die for the children, nor must the children die for the fathers. Instead, every person must die for his own sin.”
Sepandan, li pa t touye pitit yo, men li te swiv sa ki ekri nan lalwa nan liv Moïse la, ke SENYÈ a te kòmande, ki te di: “Papa yo p ap mete a lanmò pou fis yo, ni fis yo p ap mete a lanmò pou papa yo, men chak moun va mete a lanmò pou pwòp peche pa l.”
5 Moreover, Amaziah gathered Judah together, and registered them by their ancestors' houses, under commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds—all of Judah and Benjamin. He numbered them from twenty years old and upward, and found them to be 300,000 chosen men, able to go to war, who could handle spear and shield.
Anplis, Amatsia te rasanble Juda, e li te òganize yo selon lakay papa yo anba chèf a dè milye e chèf a dè santèn toupatou nan Juda avèk Benjamin. Li te pran yon kontwòl global a sila soti nan ventan oswa plis yo, e li te twouve yo a twa-san-mil mesye, byen chwazi pou fè lagè ak manyen lans ak pwotèj.
6 He hired also 100,000 fighting men from Israel for one hundred talents of silver.
Li te anplwaye osi san-mil gèrye plen kouraj ki sòti an Israël pou san talan ajan.
7 But a man of God came to him and said, “King, do not let the army of Israel go with you, for Yahweh is not with Israel—none of the people of Ephraim.
Men yon nonm Bondye te rive kote li e te di: “O Wa, pa kite lame Israël la ale avèk ou, paske SENYÈ a pa avèk Israël, ni avèk okenn nan fis Éphraïm yo.
8 But even if you do go and are courageous and strong in battle, God will throw you down before the enemy, for God has power to help, and power to throw down.”
Men si ou ale, aji avèk fòs pou batay la. Bondye va rale ou desann devan lènmi yo, paske Bondye gen pouvwa pou ede e pou desann.”
9 Amaziah said to the man of God, “But what will we do about the one hundred talents that I have given to the army of Israel?” The man of God answered, “Yahweh is able to give you much more than that.”
Amatsia te di a nonm Bondye a: “Men kisa n ap fè pou afè san talan ke m te bay a sòlda Israël yo?” Nonm Bondye a te di: “Senyè a gen bokou plis pou bay pase sa.”
10 So Amaziah separated the army that had come to him from Ephraim; he sent them home again. So their anger was greatly kindled against Judah, and they returned home in fierce anger.
Konsa, Amatsia te voye yo ale, sòlda ki te rive kote li soti Éphraïm yo, pou rive lakay yo. Akoz sa a, kòlè yo te brile kont Juda e yo te retounen lakay ak gwo kòlè.
11 Amaziah took courage and led his people to go out to the Valley of Salt; there he defeated ten thousand men of Seir.
Alò, Amatsia te ranfòse tèt li; li te mennen pèp li a sòti pou ale nan Vale Sèl la, e te frape di-mil nan fis a Séir yo.
12 The army of Judah carried away alive another ten thousand. They took them to the top of the cliff and threw them down from there, so that they were all broken in pieces.
Fis a Juda yo, anplis, te kaptire di-mil tou vivan. Yo te mennen yo anwo pwent falèz la, e te jete yo anba soti anwo falèz la, jiskaske yo tout te kraze chire an mòso.
13 But the men of the army which Amaziah sent back, so that they should not go with him to battle, attacked the cities of Judah from Samaria to Beth Horon. They struck down three thousand of the people and took much plunder.
Men sòlda ke Amatsia te voye retounen pou yo pa ale nan batay la avèk li yo, te atake vil a Juda yo, soti Samarie jis rive Beth-Horon. Yo te frape twa-mil nan yo, e te piyaje anpil byen yo.
14 Now it came about, after that Amaziah had returned from the slaughter of the Edomites, that he brought the gods of the people of Seir, and set them up to be his own gods. He bowed down before them and burned incense to them.
Alò, lè Amatsia te sòti nan masak Edomit yo, li te pote dye a fis a Séir yo. Li te pozisyone yo tankou dye pa li, pou l bese ba devan yo e te brile lansan a yo menm.
15 So Yahweh's anger was kindled against Amaziah. He sent a prophet to him, who said, “Why have you sought after the gods of a people who did not even save their own people from your hand?”
Lakòlè Bondye te brile kont Amatsia, e Li te voye pwofèt Li ki te di l: “Poukisa ou te swiv dye a pèp sa a, ki pa t kab delivre pwòp pèp pa yo nan men ou?”
16 It came about that as the prophet was speaking with him, the king said to him, “Have we made you an advisor to the king? Stop! Why should you be killed?” Then the prophet stopped and said, “I know that God has decided to destroy you because you have done this deed and have not listened to my advice.”
Pandan li t ap pale avèk li, wa a te di li: “Èske nou te chwazi ou menm kòm konseye wayal? Rete! Poukisa w ap chache mouri?” Epi pwofèt la te rete. Li te di: “Mwen konnen ke Bondye deja fè plan pou detwi ou, paske ou te fè bagay sa a e pa t koute konsèy mwen.”
17 Then Amaziah king of Judah consulted with advisors and sent messengers to Jehoash son of Jehoahaz son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, “Come, let us meet each other face to face in battle.”
Alò, Amatsia, wa Juda a te pran konsèy moun pa l. Li te voye kote Joas, fis a Joachaz la, fis a Jéhu a, wa Israël la. Li te di l: “Vini, annou parèt fasafas.”
18 But Jehoash the king of Israel sent messengers back to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, “A thistle that was in Lebanon sent a message to a cedar in Lebanon, saying, 'Give your daughter to my son for a wife,' but a wild beast in Lebanon walked by and trampled down the thistle.
Joas, wa Israël la te voye kote Amatsia, wa Juda a. Li te di: “Bwa pikan ki te Liban an te voye kote bwa sèd ki te Liban an, e te di: ‘Bay fi ou a fis mwen nan maryaj.’ Men yon bèt sovaj nan Liban te pase akote e te foule bwa pikan an.
19 You have said, 'See, I have struck down Edom,' and your heart has lifted you up. Take pride in your victory, but stay at home, for why should you cause yourself trouble and fall, both you and Judah with you?”
Ou di nan tèt ou: ‘Gade byen, mwen te bat Édom.’ Konsa kè ou vin plen ak ògèy e anfle. Alò, rete lakay ou! Poukisa ou ta pwovoke twoub pou tèt ou, jiskaske ou menm, ou ta tonbe e Juda avèk ou?”
20 But Amaziah would not listen, because this event was from God, so he might put the people of Judah into the hand of their enemies, because they had sought advice from the gods of Edom.
Men Amatsia pa t ap koute, paske sa te soti nan Bondye, ki ta livre yo nan men lèdmi yo, akoz yo te chache dye Édom yo.
21 So Jehoash, king of Israel, attacked; he and Amaziah, king of Judah, met each other face to face at Beth Shemesh, which belongs to Judah.
Konsa Joas, wa Israël la te monte, e li menm avèk Amatsia, wa Juda a te fè fasafas nan Beth-Schémesch, ki te pou Juda a.
22 Judah was struck down before Israel, and every man fled home.
Juda te bat pa Israël, e yo chak te kouri nan pwòp tant yo.
23 Jehoash, king of Israel, captured Amaziah son of Jehoash son of Ahaziah, king of Judah, at Beth Shemesh. He brought him to Jerusalem and tore down the wall of Jerusalem from the Ephraim Gate to the Corner Gate, four hundred cubits in distance.
Alò Joas, wa Israël la te kaptire Amatsia, wa Juda a, fis a Joas la, fis a Joachaz la, nan Beth-Schémesch. Li te mennen li Jérusalem, e li te chire miray Jérusalem nan soti nan Pòtay Éphraïm nan jis rive nan Pòtay Kwen an, kat-san koude nan longè.
24 He took all the gold and silver, all the objects that were found in the house of God with Obed Edom, and the valuable things in the king's house, with hostages also, and returned to Samaria.
Li te pran tout lò avèk ajan ak tout zouti ki te twouve lakay Bondye a avèk Obed-Édom ak trezò lakay wa a, ansanm avèk prizonye yo, e te retounen Samarie.
25 Amaziah son of Joash, king of Judah, lived fifteen years after the death of Jehoash, son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel.
Epi Amatsia, fis a Joas la, wa Juda a, te viv kenzan apre lanmò Joas, fis a Joachaz la, wa Israël la.
26 As for the other matters concerning Amaziah, first and last, behold, are they not written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel?
Alò, tout lòt zèv a Amatsia yo, soti nan premye a jis rive nan dènye a, men gade, èske yo pa ekri nan Liv A Wa Juda Avèk Israël yo?
27 Now from the time that Amaziah turned away from following Yahweh, they began to make a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem. He fled to Lachish, but they sent men after him to Lachish and killed him there.
Depi lè ke Amatsia te vire kite SENYÈ a, yo te fè konplo kont li Jérusalem, e li te sove ale Lakis, men yo te voye dèyè li Lakis e te touye li la.
28 They brought him back on horses and buried him with his ancestors in the city of Judah.
Konsa, yo te mennen li sou cheval e te antere li avèk zansèt li yo lavil Juda.
