2 Chronicles 25
1 A son of twenty and five years hath Amaziah reigned, and twenty and nine years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] 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 and he doth that which is right in the eyes of Jehovah — only, not with a perfect heart.
Amasya te fè sa ki dwat devan Seyè a, men pa ak tout kè li.
3 And it cometh to pass, when the kingdom hath been strong upon him, that he slayeth his servants, those smiting the king his father,
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 and their sons he hath not put to death, but [did] as is written in the law, in the book of Moses, whom Jehovah commanded, saying, 'Fathers do not die for sons, and sons die not for fathers, but each for his own sin they die.'
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 And Amaziah gathereth Judah, and appointeth them, according to the house of the fathers, for heads of the thousands, and for heads of the hundreds, for all Judah and Benjamin; and he inspecteth them from a son of twenty years and upward, and findeth them three hundred thousand chosen ones, going forth to the host, holding spear and target.
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 And he hireth out of Israel a hundred thousand mighty ones of valour, with a 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 and a man of God hath come in unto him, saying, 'O king, the host of Israel doth not go with thee; for Jehovah is not with Israel — all the sons 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 thou art going — do [it], be strong for battle, God doth cause thee to stumble before an enemy, for there is power in God to help, and to cause to stumble.'
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 And Amaziah saith to the man of God, 'And what — to do for the hundred talents that I have given to the troop of Israel?' And the man of God saith, 'Jehovah hath more to give to thee 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 And Amaziah separateth them — for the troop that hath come in unto him from Ephraim to go to their own place, and their anger doth burn mightily against Judah, and they turn back to their place in the heat of 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 And Amaziah hath strengthened himself, and leadeth his people, and goeth to the Valley of Salt, and smiteth the sons of Seir — ten thousand.
Amasya mete gason sou li, li mennen lame li a nan Fon Sale a kote li touye dimil (10.000) moun mòn Seyi.
12 And ten thousand alive have the sons of Judah taken captive, and they bring them to the top of the rock, and cast them from the top of the rock, and all of them have been broken.
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 And the sons of the troop that Amaziah hath sent back from going with him to battle — they rush against cities of Judah, from Samaria even unto Beth-Horon, and smite of them three thousand, and seize much prey.
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 And it cometh to pass, after the coming in of Amaziah from smiting the Edomites, that he bringeth in the gods of the sons of Seir, and establisheth them to him for gods, and before them doth bow himself, and to them he maketh perfume.
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 And the anger of Jehovah burneth against Amaziah, and He sendeth unto him a prophet, and he saith unto him, 'Why hast thou sought the gods of the people that have not delivered their people out of thy 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 And it cometh to pass, in his speaking unto him, that he saith to him, 'For a counsellor to the king have we appointed thee? cease for thee; why do they smite thee?' And the prophet ceaseth, and saith, 'I have known that God hath counselled to destroy thee, because thou hast done this, and hast not hearkened 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 And Amaziah king of Judah taketh counsel, and sendeth unto Joash son of Jehoahaz, son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying,
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 'Come, we look one another in the face.' And Joash king of Israel sendeth unto Amaziah king of Judah, saying, 'The thorn that [is] in Lebanon hath sent unto the cedar that [is] in Lebanon, saying, Give thy daughter to my son for a wife; and pass by doth a beast of the field that [is] in Lebanon, and treadeth down the thorn.
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 Thou hast said, Lo, I have smitten Edom; and thy heart hath lifted thee up to boast; now, abide in thy house, why dost thou stir thyself up in evil, that thou hast fallen, thou, and Judah with thee?'
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 And Amaziah hath not hearkened, for from God it [is] in order to give them into hand, because they have sought 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 and go up doth Joash king of Israel, and they look one another in the face, he and Amaziah king of Judah, in Beth-Shemesh, that [is] Judah's,
Se konsa Joas soti ak lame li pou l' al goumen ak Amasya bò lavil Bètchemès, nan peyi Jida.
22 and Judah is smitten before Israel, and they flee — each to his tents.
Lame Izrayèl la bat lame Jida a byen bat. Tout sòlda peyi Jida yo vole gaye, yo kouri al lakay yo.
23 And Amaziah king of Judah, son of Joash, son of Jehoahaz, hath Joash king of Israel caught in Beth-Shemesh, and bringeth him in to Jerusalem, and breaketh down in the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim unto the gate of the corner, 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 and [taketh] all the gold, and the silver, and all the vessels that are found in the house of God with Obed-Edom, and the treasures of the house of the king, and the sons of the pledges, and turneth back 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 And Amaziah son of Joash, king of Judah, liveth after the death of Joash son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel, fifteen years;
Amasya, wa peyi Jida a, te viv kenzan ankò apre lanmò Joas, pitit Joakaz, wa peyi Izrayèl la.
26 and the rest of the matters of Amaziah, the first and the last, lo, are they not written on the books 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 And from the time that Amaziah hath turned aside from after Jehovah — they make a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem, and he fleeth to Lachish, and they send after him to Lachish, and put him to death 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 and lift him up on the horses, and bury 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.
