2 Chronicles 25
1 Amaziah was twenty-five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jehoaddan, of Jerusalem.
Amasya te gen vennsenkan lè li moute wa. Li gouvènen lavil Jerizalèm pandan ventnevan. Manman l' te rele Jeojadan, moun lavil Jerizalèm.
2 He did that which was right in the LORD’s eyes, but not with a perfect heart.
Amasya te fè sa ki dwat devan Seyè a, men pa ak tout kè li.
3 Now when the kingdom was established to him, he killed his servants who had killed his father the king.
Lè Amasya fin chita otorite l', li fè touye chèf lame ki t'ap sèvi avè l' yo epi ki te touye papa l'.
4 But he didn’t put their children to death, but did according to that which is written in the Torah in the book of Moses, as the LORD commanded, saying, “The fathers shall not die for the children, neither shall the children die for the fathers; but every man shall die for his own sin.”
Men li pa t' manyen pitit ansasen sa yo, paske dapre sa ki ekri nan Liv lalwa Moyiz la, Bondye te bay lòd sa a: Nou pa gen dwa touye yon papa pou krim pitit li fè. Ni nou pa gen dwa touye yon pitit pou krim papa l' te fè. Y'a touye yon moun pou krim li menm li fè.
5 Moreover Amaziah gathered Judah together and ordered them according to their fathers’ houses, under captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, even all Judah and Benjamin. He counted them from twenty years old and upward, and found that there were three hundred thousand chosen men, able to go out to war, who could handle spear and shield.
Amasya reyini tout gason nan branch fanmi Jida yo ak nan branch fanmi Benjamen yo, li moute yon lame, chak fanmi apa. Li mete yon chèf alatèt chak rejiman mil sòlda ak yon chèf alatèt chak divizyon san sòlda. Li fè konte tout gason ki te gen ventan ak sa ki te gen ventan depase. Li fè kouche yo sou rejis. Li jwenn te gen twasanmil (300.000) sòlda ki te pi bon nan sèvi ak zam, ki te pare pou fè lagè, ki te gen ladrès pou sèvi ak frenn ak gwo plak pwotèj.
6 He also hired one hundred thousand mighty men of valour out of Israel for one hundred talents of silver.
Lèfini, li pran sanmil (100.000) vanyan sòlda nan peyi Izrayèl, li peye yo chak twasan (300) kilo ajan pou yo goumen pou li.
7 A man of God came to him, saying, “O king, don’t let the army of Israel go with you, for the LORD is not with Israel, with all the children of Ephraim.
Men yon pwofèt Bondye vin di li: -Monwa, pa pran sòlda peyi Izrayèl sa yo ak ou nan lame a, paske Seyè a pa avèk moun peyi Izrayèl yo, avèk bann pitit Efrayim sa yo.
8 But if you will go, take action, and be strong for the battle. God will overthrow you before the enemy; for God has power to help, and to overthrow.”
Paske si ou konprann ou ka ranfòse lame ou la avèk moun sa yo pou ou al fè lagè, Bondye ap fè ou bese tèt devan lènmi ou yo, paske se Bondye ki gen pouvwa pou fè ou genyen osinon pou fè ou pèdi batay la.
9 Amaziah said to the man of God, “But what shall we do for the hundred talents which I have given to the army of Israel?” The man of God answered, “The LORD is able to give you much more than this.”
Amasya mande pwofèt Bondye a: -Bon, sa k'ap rive twa san kilo ajan sa yo mwen deja bay sòlda peyi Izrayèl yo? Pwofèt la reponn li: -Seyè a ka renmèt ou plis pase sa!
10 Then Amaziah separated them, the army that had come to him out of Ephraim, to go home again. Therefore their anger was greatly kindled against Judah, and they returned home in fierce anger.
Se konsa Amasya fè sòlda li te fè vini soti nan peyi Efrayim yo mete kò yo sou kote, li voye yo al fè wout yo lakay yo. Men sòlda sa yo te fache anpil sou moun peyi Jida yo poutèt sa. Yo tounen lakay yo byen move.
11 Amaziah took courage, and led his people out and went to the Valley of Salt, and struck ten thousand of the children of Seir.
Amasya mete gason sou li, li mennen lame li a nan Fon Sale a kote li touye dimil (10.000) moun mòn Seyi.
12 The children of Judah carried away ten thousand alive, and brought them to the top of the rock, and threw them down from the top of the rock, so that they all were broken in pieces.
Sòlda peyi Jida yo fè dimil (10.000) prizonye met sou sa. Yo pran yo, yo mennen yo sou tèt yon falèz, yo lage yo anba kote yo mouri kraze.
13 But the men of the army whom Amaziah sent back, that they should not go with him to battle, fell on the cities of Judah from Samaria even to Beth Horon, and struck of them three thousand, and took much plunder.
Men, sòlda Amasya te voye tounen lakay yo pou yo pa ale nan lagè ansanm avè l' yo, anvayi lavil peyi Jida yo, depi lavil Samari rive lavil Bètowon. Yo touye twamil (3.000) moun, yo pran yon pakèt bagay pote ale.
14 Now after Amaziah had come from the slaughter of the Edomites, he brought the gods of the children of Seir, and set them up to be his gods, and bowed down himself before them and burnt incense to them.
Lè Amasya t'ap tounen apre li fin kraze moun peyi Edon yo, li pran bondye moun mòn Seyi yo avè l'. Li fè yo tounen bondye pa l', li sèvi yo, li boule lansan pou yo.
15 Therefore the LORD’s anger burnt against Amaziah, and he sent to him a prophet who said to him, “Why have you sought after the gods of the people, which have not delivered their own people out of your hand?”
Seyè a fache kont Amasya. Li voye yon pwofèt pou di l' konsa: -Poukisa koulye a ou pran sèvi bondye yon pèp ki pa t' ka sove pèp sa a anba men ou?
16 As he talked with him, the king said to him, “Have we made you one of the king’s counsellors? Stop! Why should you be struck down?” Then the prophet stopped, and said, “I know that God has determined to destroy you, because you have done this and have not listened to my counsel.”
Amasya koupe l' lapawòl, li di li: -Depi kilè mwen te nonmen ou konseye wa a? Pe la, si ou pa bezwen m' fè yo wonpi ou! Pwofèt la rete sou sa l' t'ap di a, men li di: -Koulye a mwen konnen Bondye pran desizyon pou l' fini avè ou vre, paske ou fè sa ou fè a, epi ou pa vle koute konsèy mwen.
17 Then Amaziah king of Judah consulted his advisers, and sent to Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, “Come! Let’s look one another in the face.”
Men Amasya, wa peyi Jida a, koute konsèy lòt moun, li voye misyon bay Joas, pitit Joakaz, pitit pitit Jeou, wa peyi Izrayèl la, li di l': -Vini non! Ann wè sa ki pi fò!
18 Joash king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, “The thistle that was in Lebanon sent to the cedar that was in Lebanon, saying, ‘Give your daughter to my son as his wife. Then a wild animal that was in Lebanon passed by and trampled down the thistle.
Men, Joas voye reponn li: -Yon jou, yon pye pikan ki te sou mòn Liban an voye yon misyon bay yon pye sèd. Li di l': Bay pitit gason m' lan pitit fi ou la pou l' marye avè l'. Yon bèt bwa pase bò la, li kraze pye pikan an.
19 You say to yourself that you have struck Edom; and your heart lifts you up to boast. Now stay at home. Why should you meddle with trouble, that you should fall, even you and Judah with you?’”
Amasya, ou di ou kraze moun peyi Edon yo, koulye a, ou kite lògèy vire tèt ou. Men pito ou rete chita lakay ou tande! Poukisa pou w'ap chache traka bay kò ou epi pou sa pase mal ni pou ou, ni pou peyi Jida a?
20 But Amaziah would not listen; for it was of God, that he might deliver them into the hand of their enemies, because they had sought after the gods of Edom.
Men Amasya derefize koute l'. Paske se te volonte Bondye pou l' te lage l' nan men Joas poutèt li te pran sèvi bondye pèp Edon yo.
21 So Joash king of Israel went up, and he and Amaziah king of Judah looked one another in the face at Beth Shemesh, which belongs to Judah.
Se konsa Joas soti ak lame li pou l' al goumen ak Amasya bò lavil Bètchemès, nan peyi Jida.
22 Judah was defeated by Israel; so every man fled to his tent.
Lame Izrayèl la bat lame Jida a byen bat. Tout sòlda peyi Jida yo vole gaye, yo kouri al lakay yo.
23 Joash king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Joash the son of Jehoahaz, at Beth Shemesh and brought him to Jerusalem, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim to the corner gate, four hundred cubits.
Joas, wa peyi Izrayèl la, fe Amasya, pitit Joas, pitit pitit Joakaz, wa peyi Jida a, prizonye lavil Bètchemès. Lèfini, li mache sou lavil Jerizalèm. Li kraze miray lavil la sou yon longè ki pran depi nan pòtay Efrayim lan rive jouk bò pòtay Kwen an. Sa te fè antou 180 mèt nan miray la.
24 He took all the gold and silver, and all the vessels that were found in God’s house with Obed-Edom, and the treasures of the king’s house, and the hostages, and returned to Samaria.
Li pran dènye bagay an lò ak an ajan li jwenn, tou sa ki te nan Tanp Seyè a sou kont Obèd-Edon, ak tout richès ki te nan palè a, san konte kantite moun li te fè prizonye tankou yon garanti. Apre sa, li tounen tounen l' lavil Samari.
25 Amaziah the son of Joash, king of Judah, lived for fifteen years after the death of Joash, son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel.
Amasya, wa peyi Jida a, te viv kenzan ankò apre lanmò Joas, pitit Joakaz, wa peyi Izrayèl la.
26 Now the rest of the acts of Amaziah, first and last, behold, aren’t they written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel?
Tout rès istwa Amasya a, depi premye jou li te moute wa a rive jouk dènye jou a, tou sa ekri nan liv Istwa Wa peyi Izrayèl yo.
27 Now from the time that Amaziah turned away from following the LORD, they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem. He fled to Lachish, but they sent after him to Lachish and killed him there.
Depi lè Amasya te lage pye Seyè a, yo t'ap fè konplo sou do l' lavil Jerizalèm. Bout pou bout, li kouri al kache lavil lakis. Men, yo voye dèyè l' jouk lavil lakis, yo pran l', yo touye l'.
28 They brought him on horses and buried him with his fathers in the City of Judah.
Lèfini yo pote kadav li sou chwal lavil Jerizalèm. Yo antere l' nan tonm wa yo nan lavil David la.
