2 Chronicles 12
1 And it came to pass, when Rehoboam had established the kingdom, and had strengthened himself, he forsook the law of the LORD, and all Israel with him.
Lè Woboram fin chita gouvènman li byen chita, lè li santi li te fò, li pa mache dapre lalwa Seyè a ankò. Lèfini, tout pèp Izrayèl la fè menm jan an tou.
2 And it came to pass, that in the fifth year of king Rehoboam Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they had transgressed against the LORD,
Paske moun yo te vire do bay Seyè a, Chichak, wa peyi Lejip la, moute vin atake lavil Jerizalèm nan senkyèm lanne rèy wa Woboram,
3 With twelve hundred chariots, and sixty thousand horsemen: and the people were without number that came with him out of Egypt; the Lubims, the Sukkiims, and the Cushites.
avèk mildesan (1.200) cha lagè, swasantmil (60.000) kavalye ak yon kantite sòlda moun pa t' ka konte ki te moute avè l' soti nan peyi Lejip. Te gen moun peyi Libi, moun peyi Soukit ak moun peyi Letiopi nan lame a.
4 And he took the fortified cities which pertained to Judah, and came to Jerusalem.
Li pran tout lavil ak gwo ranpa peyi Jida yo, jouk li rive lavil Jerizalèm.
5 Then came Shemaiah the prophet to Rehoboam, and to the princes of Judah, that were gathered together at Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said to them, Thus saith the LORD, Ye have forsaken me, and therefore have I also left you in the hand of Shishak.
Chichak t'ap pwoche sou lavil la, lè Chemaya, pwofèt la, al jwenn Woboram ak tout chèf peyi Jida yo ki te reyini lavil la, li di yo konsa: -Men sa Seyè a voye di nou. Menm jan nou te lage m' lan, se konsa m'ap lage nou tou nan men Chichak.
6 Upon which the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves; and they said, The LORD is righteous.
Wa a ansanm ak chèf yo rekonèt yo te fè sa ki mal: -Seyè a gen rezon l' nan pla men l'!
7 And when the LORD saw that they humbled themselves, the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah, saying, They have humbled themselves; therefore I will not destroy them, but I will grant them some deliverance; and my wrath shall not be poured out upon Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.
Lè Seyè a wè jan yo rekonèt tò yo, li pale ak Chemaya ankò, li di l' konsa: -Paske yo rekonèt yo pa t' dwe fè sa yo fè a, mwen p'ap detwi yo nèt. Men, lè Chichak va atake, m'ap ba yo chans pou yo chape kò yo. Mwen p'ap sèvi ak Chichak pou m' fè moun lavil Jerizalèm yo santi jan m' fache sou yo.
8 Nevertheless they shall be his servants; that they may know my service, and the service of the kingdoms of the countries.
Men, Chichak pral fè yo soumèt devan l'. Lè sa a, y'a wè sèvi m' ak sèvi chèf sou latè sa ki pi dous.
9 So Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, and took away the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king’s house; he took all: he carried away also the shields of gold which Solomon had made.
Wa Chichak atake lavil Jerizalèm. Li pran tout trezò ki te nan Tanp lan ak nan palè wa a. Li pran ata gwo plak pwotèj an lò Salomon te fè fè yo.
10 Instead of which king Rehoboam made shields of brass, and committed them to the hands of the captains of the guard, that kept the entrance of the king’s house.
Wa Woboram fè fè lòt gwo plak pwotèj an kwiv fwa sa a pou mete nan plas yo. Lèfini, li renmèt yo nan men chèf gad ki t'ap fè pòs nan pòtay palè a.
11 And when the king entered into the house of the LORD, the guard came and conveyed them, and brought them again into the guard chamber.
Chak fwa wa a t'ap antre nan Tanp lan, chèf gad yo al pran gwo plak pwotèj yo pote vini. Lè li ale, yo pote yo tounen nan chanm gad yo.
12 And when he humbled himself, the wrath of the LORD turned from him, that he would not destroy him altogether: and also in Judah things went well.
Paske Woboram te rekonèt li pa t' dwe fè sa l' te fè a devan Seyè a, kòlè Seyè a bese, li pa fini nèt avè l'. Men pou di vre, te gen bon bagay ki te pase nan peyi Jida lè sa a tou.
13 So king Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem, and reigned: for Rehoboam was one and forty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the LORD had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there. And his mother’s name was Naamah an Ammonitess.
Woboram te gouvènen lavil Jerizalèm, li chita otorite l' byen chita. Woboram te gen karanteyennan lè li vin wa peyi Jida. Li gouvènen pandan disètan lavil Jerizalèm, lavil Seyè a te chwazi nan tout peyi Izrayèl pou anplasman kote pou yo fè sèvis pou li a. Manman Woboram te moun lavil Amon. Li te rele Nama.
14 And he did evil, because he prepared not his heart to seek the LORD.
Woboram te fè sa ki mal, paske li pa t' chache fè volonte Seyè a.
15 Now the acts of Rehoboam, first and last, are they not written in the book of Shemaiah the prophet, and of Iddo the seer concerning genealogies? And there were wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.
Tou sa wa Woboram te fè, depi premye jou li te moute wa a rive jouk dènye jou a, nou jwenn yo ekri nan liv travay pwofèt Chemaya ak nan liv vizyon pwofèt Ido ki bay lis fanmi yo. Se te yon lagè san rete ant Woboram ak Jewoboram.
16 And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David: and Abijah his son reigned in his stead.
Lè Woboram mouri, yo antere l' nan lavil David la. Se Abija, pitit gason li, ki pran plas li sou fotèy la.
