2 Chronicles 10
1 And Rehoboam goeth to Shechem, for [to] Shechem have all Israel come to cause him to reign.
Woboram moute lavil Sichèm, paske se la tout pèp Izrayèl la nèt te sanble pou fè li wa.
2 And it cometh to pass, at Jeroboam son of Nebat's — who [is] in Egypt because he hath fled from the face of Solomon the king — hearing, that Jeroboam turneth back out of Egypt;
Lè Jewoboram, pitit gason Nebat la, ki te nan peyi Lejip kote li te al kache pou Salomon an, pran nouvèl la, li kite peyi Lejip, li tounen lakay li.
3 and they send and call for him, and Jeroboam cometh in, and all Israel, and speak unto Rehoboam, saying,
Moun branch fanmi ki nan nò peyi a voye chache l'. Yo tout ansanm, yo al jwenn Woboram, yo di l' konsa:
4 'Thy father made our yoke sharp, and now, make light [somewhat] of the sharp service of thy father, and of his heavy yoke that he put upon us, and we serve thee.'
-Papa ou te di anpil ak nou. Li te peze nou anpil. Koulye a, fè yon leve men pou nou. Kite nou viv yon ti jan pi alèz, n'a sèvi ou nèt ale.
5 And he saith unto them, 'Yet three days — then return ye unto me;' and the people go.
Woboram di yo: -Tounen nan twa jou. Lè sa a, m'a ban nou repons. Epi moun yo al fè wout yo.
6 And king Rehoboam consulteth with the aged men who have been standing before Solomon his father in his being alive, saying, 'How are ye counselling to answer this people?'
Woboram menm al jwenn chèf fanmi ki te sèvi konseye pou Salomon, papa l', lè li t'ap viv la, li mande yo: -Kisa pou m' reponn pèp la? Ki konsèy nou ban mwen?
7 And they speak unto him, saying, 'If thou dost become good to this people, and hast been pleased with them, and spoken unto them good words, then they have been to thee servants all the days.'
Yo reponn li: -Si ou aji byen ak pèp la, si ou asepte fè sa yo mande ou la, si ou pale byen ak yo, y'ap toujou sèvi ou,
8 And he forsaketh the counsel of the aged men that they counselled him, and consulteth with the lads who have grown up with him, those standing before him,
Men, Woboram pa koute konsèy granmoun yo te ba li a, li al jwenn jenn gason ki te leve ansanm avè l' yo, lèfini ki te toujou la pou ba l' konsèy tou.
9 and he saith unto them, 'What are ye counselling, and we answer this people that have spoken unto me, saying, Make light [somewhat] of the yoke that thy father put upon us?'
Li di yo: -Ki konsèy nou ta ban mwen? Kisa pou m' reponn pèp la k'ap mande m' pou m' fè yon leve men pou yo?
10 And the lads who have grown up with him, speak with him, saying, 'Thus dost thou say to the people who have spoken unto thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke heavy, and thou, make light [somewhat] of our yoke; thus dost thou say unto them, My little finger is thicker than the loins of my father;
Jenn gason kanmarad li yo reponn li: -Men sa w'a di moun sa yo k'ap plenyen pou papa ou ki t'ap peze yo, epi k'ap mande ou fè yon leve men pou yo a. W'a di yo: Si papa m' te di ak nou, mwen menm m'ap pi di pase l'.
11 and now, my father laid on you a heavy yoke, and I — I add unto your yoke; my father chastised you with whips, and I — with scorpions.'
Wi, w'a di yo: Papa m' t'ap peze nou anba chay lou, mwen menm se mete m'ap mete sou chay la anko. Papa m' te bat nou ak fwèt, mwen menm m'ap pase fwèt la anba sann pou m' bat nou.
12 And Jeroboam cometh in, and all the people, unto Rehoboam on the third day, as the king spake, saying, 'Return unto me on the third day.'
Twa jou apre vre, Jewoboram tounen ansanm ak tout moun Izrayèl yo vin jwenn wa Woboram, jan li te di yo a.
13 And the king answereth them sharply, and king Rehoboam forsaketh the counsel of the aged men,
Wa a pa koute konsèy granmoun yo, li pale di ak pèp la.
14 and speaketh unto them according to the counsel of the lads, saying, 'My father made your yoke heavy, and I — I add unto it; my father chastised you with whips, and I — with scorpions.'
Li reponn yo jan jenn gason yo te ba l' konsèy la. Li di yo: -Papa m' te peze nou anba chay lou, mwen menm, m'ap mete sou chay n'ap pote deja a. Papa m' te bat nou ak fwèt, mwen menm, m'ap pase fwèt la anba sann pou nou.
15 And the king hath not hearkened unto the people, for the revolution hath been from God, for the sake of Jehovah's establishing His word that He spake by the hand of Abijah the Shilonite unto Jeroboam son of Nebat.
Se konsa wa a pa t' asepte fè sa pèp la te mande l' la. Sa se travay Seyè a menm ki te vle pou sa li te voye Akija, pwofèt Silo a, al di Jewoboram, pitit Nebat la, rive vre.
16 And all Israel have seen that the king hath not hearkened to them, and the people send back [to] the king, saying, 'What portion have we in David? yea, there is no inheritance in a son of Jesse; each to thy tents, O Israel; now, see thy house — David,' and all Israel go to their tents.
Lè pèp Izrayèl la wè wa a pa t' soti pou li fè sa yo te mande l' la, yo reponn wa a, yo di li: -Nou pa gen anyen pou nou wè ak David. Nou pa gen anyen pou n' separe ak pitit Izayi a. Nou menm pèp Izrayèl la, ann al lakay nou! Ann kite pitit David yo degaje yo pou kont yo ak fanmi yo! Se konsa moun pèp Izrayèl la vire do al lakay yo.
17 As to the sons of Israel who are dwelling in the cities of Judah — Rehoboam reigneth over them.
Yo kite Woboram pou li gouvènen sèlman sou moun ki rete nan pòsyon tè branch fanmi Jida a.
18 And king Rehoboam sendeth Hadoram, who [is] over the tribute, and the sons of Israel cast at him stones, and he dieth; and king Rehoboam hath strengthened himself to go up into a chariot to flee to Jerusalem;
Apre sa, wa Woboram voye Adoram ki te reskonsab travay kòve yo al bò kote moun Izrayèl yo. Men, moun Izrayèl yo kalonnen li koutwòch jouk li mouri. Lè sa a, wa Woboram prese moute sou cha li, li kouri ale lavil Jerizalèm.
19 and Israel transgress against the house of David unto this day.
Depi lè sa a, moun pèp Izrayèl yo vire do bay moun fanmi David yo jouk jounen jòdi a.
