1 Wa 15
1 Jewoboram te gen dizwitan depi li te wa peyi Izrayèl la, lè Abijam moute wa nan peyi Jida.
Now in the eighteenth year of the reign of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, Abiam reigned over Juda.
2 Li gouvènen lavil Jerizalèm pandan twazan. Manman l' te rele Maka, se te pitit fi Absalon.
He reigned three years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Maacha the daughter of Abessalom.
3 Abijam te lage kò l' nan fè menm bagay ak papa l'. Li pa t' sèvi Seyè a, Bondye li a, ak tout kè li jan David, zansèt li a, te fè.
And he walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before him: and his heart was not perfect with the Lord his God, as was the heart of David his father.
4 Men poutèt David, Seyè a, Bondye li a, te bay Abijam yon pitit gason pou te toujou gen yon moun nan ras li ap gouvènen lavil Jerizalèm apre li. Konsa lavil Jerizalèm va toujou rete kanpe.
But for David’s sake the Lord his God gave him a lamp in Jerusalem, to set up his son after him, and to establish Jerusalem:
5 Seyè a te fè sa paske David te toujou fè sa ki dwat devan Seyè a. Pandan tout lavi li, li pa t' janm dezobeyi ankenn lòd Seyè a, si ou wete zafè Ouri, moun peyi Et la.
Because David had done that which was right in the eyes of the Lord, and had not turned aside from any thing that he commanded him, all the days of his life, except the matter of Urias the Hethite.
6 Pandan tout rèy Woboram lan, se te yon lagè san rete ant Woboram ak Jewoboram.
But there was war between Roboam and Jeroboam all the time of his life.
7 Toutan te gen lagè tou ant Abijam ak Jewoboram. Tout lòt bagay Abijam te fè yo, n'a jwenn yo ekri nan liv Istwa wa peyi Jida yo.
And the rest of the words of Abiam, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda? And there was war between Abiam and Jeroboam.
8 Lè Abijam mouri, yo antere l' nan lavil David la, Se Asa, pitit gason l' lan, ki moute sou fotèy la nan plas li.
And Abiam slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David, and Asa his son reigned in his stead.
9 Wa Jewoboram t'ap mache sou ventan depi li t'ap gouvènen peyi Izrayèl, lè Asa moute wa nan peyi Jida.
So in the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel, reigned Asa king of Juda,
10 Li gouvènen pandan karanteyennan lavil Jerizalèm. Maka, pitit fi Absalon an, te grann li.
And he reigned one and forty years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Maacha, the daughter of Abessalom.
11 Asa te fè sa ki dwat devan Seyè a, tankou David, zansèt li.
And Asa did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, as did David his father:
12 Li netwaye peyi a, li mete tout gason ak tout fanm ki t'ap fè jennès nan kay zidòl yo deyò nan peyi a. Li wete tout vye zidòl chèf ki te la anvan l' yo te fè.
And he took away the effeminate out of the land, and he removed all the filth of the idols, which his fathers had made.
13 Li menm rive wete Maka, grann li, nan pozisyon manman larenn yo te ba li nan peyi a, paske Maka te fè yon vye estati pou Astate. Asa kraze estati a, li fè boule l' nan fon Sedwon an.
Moreover he also removed his mother Maacha, from being the princess in the sacrifices of Priapus, and in the grove which she had consecrated to him: and he destroyed her den, and broke in pieces the filthy idol, and burnt it by the torrent Cedron:
14 Malgre li pa t' rive fè disparèt tout kay zidòl yo, limenm li te toujou sèvi Seyè a ak tout kè li pandan tout lavi li.
But the high places he did not take away. Nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect with the Lord all his days:
15 Li mete nan Tanp lan tou sa papa l' te bay pou sèvis Bondye ansanm ak tout bagay an lò ak an ajan limenm li te bay pou Bondye.
And he brought in the things which his father had dedicated, and he had vowed, into the house of the Lord, silver and gold, and vessels.
16 Pandan tout tan yo t'ap gouvènen chak moun bò pa yo, se te yon lagè san rete ant Asa, wa peyi Jida, ak Bacha, wa peyi Izrayèl.
And there was war between Asa, and Baasa king of Israel all their days.
17 wa Bacha anvayi peyi Jida. Li pran lavil Rama, li plen l' sòlda pa l' pou anpeche moun pase antre soti nan peyi Jida.
And Baasa king of Israel went up against Juda, and built Rama, that no man might go out or come in, of the side of Asa king of Juda.
18 Lè wa Asa wè sa, li pran tout rès bagay an lò ak bagay an ajan ki te rete nan tanp lan ak nan palè a, li renmèt yo nan men kèk moun pa l', li voye yo lavil Damas bò kote Bennadad, wa peyi Siri, pitit gason Tabrimon, pitit pitit Ezyon, ak mesaj sa a:
Then Asa took all the silver and gold that remained in the treasures of the house of the Lord, and in the treasures of the king’s house, and delivered it into the hands of his servants: and sent them to Benadad son of Tabremon the son of Hezion, king of Syria, who dwelt in Damascus, saying:
19 -Annou pase kontra yonn ak lòt tankou zansèt nou yo te fè l' la. Men mwen voye bagay an lò ak bagay an ajan sa yo fè ou kado. Koulye a, kase kontra ou pase ak Bacha, wa peyi Izrayèl la, konsa la blije wete sòlda li yo nan peyi mwen an.
There is a league between me and thee, and between my father and thy father: therefore I have sent thee presents of silver and gold: and I desire thee to come, and break thy league with Baasa king of Israel, that he may depart from me.
20 wa Bennadad dakò avèk sa wa Asa te voye di l' la. Li voye chèf lame li yo al atake lavil peyi Izrayèl yo. Yo pran lavil Iyon, lavil Dann, lavil Abèl-bèt Maka, tout zòn ki toupre letan Galile a, ak tout pòsyon tè branch fanmi Neftali a.
Benadad hearkening to king Asa, sent the captains of his army against the cities of Israel, and they smote Ahion, and Dan, and Abeldomum Maacha, and all Cenneroth, that is all the land of Nephtali.
21 Lè Bacha vin konn sa, li wete tout sòlda ki te plen lavil Rama a, l' ale lavil Tizra.
And when Baasa had heard this, he left off building Rama, and returned into Thersa.
22 Lè sa a, wa Asa fè rele dènye moun nan peyi Jida a pou wete wòch ak bwa wa Bacha te fè anpile pou ranfòse miray ranpa lavil Rama. Wa Asa sèvi ak materyo sa yo pou ranfòse miray ranpa lavil Mispa ak lavil Geba nan pòsyon tè branch fanmi Benjamen yo.
But king Asa sent word into all Juda, saying: Let no man be excused: and they took away the stones from Rama, and the timber thereof wherewith Baasa had been building, and with them Asa built Gabaa of Benjamin, and Maspha.
23 Tout lòt istwa sou sa wa Asa te fè yo, sou jan li te yon vanyan gason, sou lavil li te bati yo, n'a jwenn tou sa ekri nan liv Istwa wa peyi Jida yo. Men, lè l' konmanse granmoun, yon maladi nan pye rann li enfim.
But the rest of all the acts of Asa, and all his strength, and all that he did and the cities that he built, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda? But in the time of his old age he was diseased in his feet.
24 Lè Asa mouri, yo antere l' nan tonm fanmi li nan lavil David la. Se Jozafa, pitit li, ki moute sou fotèy la nan plas li.
And he slept with his fathers, and was buried with them in the city of David his father. And Josaphat his son reigned in his place.
25 Wa Asa te gen dezan depi li t'ap gouvènen peyi Jida a lè Nadad, pitit gason Jewoboram, moute wa nan peyi Izrayèl. Li gouvènen peyi a pandan dezan ase.
But Nadab the son of Jeroboam reigned over Israel the second year of Asa king of Juda: and he reigned over Israel two years.
26 Li fè sa ki mal nan je Seyè a. Tankou papa l', li pa t' mache dwat devan Bondye, lèfini li te lakòz pèp la fè sa ki mal tou.
And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the ways of his father, and in his sins, wherewith he made Israel to sin.
27 Bacha, pitit gason Akija, nan branch fanmi Isaka a, moute yon konplo pou touye Nadab. Lè sa a, Nadab ak lame Izrayèl la t'ap sènen lavil Gibetou nan peyi Filisti. Se la Bacha touye Nadab.
And Baasa the son of Ahias of the house of Issachar, conspired against him, and slew him in Gebbethon, which is a city of the Philistines: for Nadab and all Israel besieged Gebbethon.
28 Sa rive nan twazyèm lanne rèy wa Asa nan peyi Jida. Se konsa Bacha moute wa peyi Izrayèl nan plas Nadab.
So Baasa slew him in the third year of Asa king of Juda, and reigned in his place.
29 Rive li rive wa, li touye dènye moun nan fanmi Jewoboram lan. Konsa, dapre pawòl Seyè a te mete nan bouch pwofèt Akija, moun lavil Silo, sèvitè Bondye a, li touye tout moun nan fanmi Jewoboram lan, li pa kite yonn chape.
And when he was king he cut off all the house of Jeroboam: he left not so much as one soul of his seed, till he had utterly destroyed him, according to the word of the Lord, which he had spoken in the hand of Ahias the Silonite:
30 Sa te rive konsa paske Jewoboram te fè sa ki mal, lèfini li te lakòz pèp la fè sa ki mal tou. Se konsa li te fè Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, fache sou li.
Because of the sin of Jeroboam, which he had sinned, and wherewith he had made Israel to sin, and for the offence, wherewith he provoked the Lord the God of Israel.
31 Tout lòt bagay Nadab te fè yo, n'a jwenn yo ekri nan liv Istwa wa peyi Izrayèl yo.
But the rest of the acts of Nadab, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?
32 Se te yon lagè san rete ant Asa, wa peyi Jida a, ak Bacha, wa peyi Izrayèl la, pandan tout tan yo t'ap gouvènen, chak moun bò pa yo.
And there was war between Asa and Baasa the king of Israel all their days.
33 Wa Asa t'ap mache sou twazan depi li t'ap gouvènen peyi Jida a lè Bacha, pitit gason Akija, moute wa nan peyi Izrayèl.
In the third year of Asa king of Juda, Baasa the son of Ahias reigned over all Israel, in Thersa, four and twenty years.
34 Li gouvènen pandan vennkatran nan lavil Tiza. Li te fè sa ki mal devan Seyè a. Tankou Jewoboram, li pa t' mache dwat devan Bondye. Li te lakòz pèp la fè sa ki mal tou.
And he did evil before the Lord, and walked in the ways of Jeroboam, and in his sins, wherewith he made Israel to sin.
