2 Chronicles 12
1 When the kingdom of Rehoboam was established and he was strong, he abandoned the LORD’s law, 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 In the fifth year of King Rehoboam, Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they had trespassed 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. The people were without number who came with him out of Egypt: the Lubim, the Sukkiim, and the Ethiopians.
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 He took the fortified cities which belonged to Judah, and came to Jerusalem.
Li pran tout lavil ak gwo ranpa peyi Jida yo, jouk li rive lavil Jerizalèm.
5 Now Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam and to the princes of Judah, who were gathered together to Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said to them, “The LORD says, ‘You have forsaken me, therefore I have 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 Then 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 When the LORD saw that they humbled themselves, the LORD’s word came to Shemaiah, saying, “They have humbled themselves. I will not destroy them, but I will grant them some deliverance, and my wrath won’t be poured out on 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 will 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 LORD’s house and the treasures of the king’s house. He took it all away. He also took away 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 King Rehoboam made shields of bronze in their place, and committed them to the hands of the captains of the guard, who kept the door 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 As often as the king entered into the LORD’s house, the guard came and bore them, then brought them back into the guard room.
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 When he humbled himself, the LORD’s wrath turned from him, so as not to destroy him altogether. Moreover, there were good things found in Judah.
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 forty-one 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. His mother’s name was Naamah the 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 He did that which was evil, because he didn’t set 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, aren’t they written in the histories of Shemaiah the prophet and of Iddo the seer, in the genealogies? 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 Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in David’s city; and Abijah his son reigned in his place.
Lè Woboram mouri, yo antere l' nan lavil David la. Se Abija, pitit gason li, ki pran plas li sou fotèy la.
