1 Wa 15

1 Jewoboram te gen dizwitan depi li te wa peyi Izrayèl la, lè Abijam moute wa nan peyi Jida.

And in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam son of Nebat, reigned hath Abijam over Judah;

2 Li gouvènen lavil Jerizalèm pandan twazan. Manman l' te rele Maka, se te pitit fi Absalon.

three years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Maachah daughter of Abishalom;

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 walketh in all the sins of his father, that he did before him, and his heart hath not been perfect with Jehovah his God, as 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 hath Jehovah his God given to him a lamp in Jerusalem, to raise 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.

in that David did that which [is] right in the eyes of Jehovah, and turned not aside from all that He commanded him all days of his life — only in the matter of Uriah the Hittite;

6 Pandan tout rèy Woboram lan, se te yon lagè san rete ant Woboram ak Jewoboram.

and war hath been between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days 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 matters of Abijam, and all that he did, are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Judah? And war hath been between Abijam 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 Abijam lieth with his fathers, and they bury him in the city of David, and reign doth Asa his son 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.

And in the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel reigned hath Asa over Judah,

10 Li gouvènen pandan karanteyennan lavil Jerizalèm. Maka, pitit fi Absalon an, te grann li.

and forty and one years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Maachah daughter of Abishalom.

11 Asa te fè sa ki dwat devan Seyè a, tankou David, zansèt li.

And Asa doth that which [is] right in the eyes of Jehovah, like 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 removeth the whoremongers out of the land, and turneth aside all the idols that his fathers 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.

and also Maachah his mother — he turneth her aside from being mistress, in that she made a horrible thing for a shrine, and Asa cutteth down her horrible thing, and burneth [it] by the brook Kidron;

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.

and the high places have not turned aside; only, the heart of Asa hath been perfect with Jehovah 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 bringeth in the sanctified things of his father, and his own sanctified things, to the house of Jehovah, 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 war hath been between Asa and Baasha 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 Baasha king of Israel goeth up against Judah, and buildeth Ramah, not to permit any one going out and coming in to Asa king of Judah.

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:

And Asa taketh all the silver and the gold that are left in the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and the treasures of the house of the king, and giveth them into the hand of his servants, and king Asa sendeth them unto Ben-Hadad, son of Tabrimmon, son of Hezion king of Aram, who is dwelling 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.

'A covenant [is] between me and thee, between my father and thy father; lo, I have sent to thee a reward of silver and gold; go, break thy covenant with Baasha king of Israel, and he goeth up from off 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.

And Ben-Hadad hearkeneth unto king Asa, and sendeth the heads of the forces that he hath against cities of Israel, and smiteth Ijon, and Dan, and Abel-Beth-Maachah, and all Chinneroth, besides all the land of Naphtali;

21 Lè Bacha vin konn sa, li wete tout sòlda ki te plen lavil Rama a, l' ale lavil Tizra.

and it cometh to pass at Baasha's hearing, that he ceaseth from building Ramah, and dwelleth in Tirzah.

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.

And king Asa hath summoned all Judah — there is none exempt — and they lift up the stones of Ramah, and its wood, that Baasha hath built, and king Asa buildeth with them Geba of Benjamin, and Mizpah.

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.

And the rest of all the matters of Asa, and all his might, and all that he did, and the cities that he built, are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Judah? Only, at 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 Asa lieth with his fathers, and is buried with his fathers in the city of David his father, and Jehoshaphat his son reigneth in his stead.

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.

And Nadab son of Jeroboam hath reigned over Israel, in the second year of Asa king of Judah, and he reigneth 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 doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, and goeth in the way of his father, and in his sin that 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 conspire against him doth Baasha son of Ahijah, of the house of Issachar, and Baasha smiteth him in Gibbethon, which [is] to the Philistines — and Nadab and all Israel are laying siege against Gibbethon —

28 Sa rive nan twazyèm lanne rèy wa Asa nan peyi Jida. Se konsa Bacha moute wa peyi Izrayèl nan plas Nadab.

yea, Baasha putteth him to death in the third year of Asa king of Judah, and reigneth in his stead.

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 it cometh to pass, at his reigning, he hath smitten the whole house of Jeroboam, he hath not left any breathing to Jeroboam till his destroying him, according to the word of Jehovah, that He spake by the hand of His servant Ahijah the Shilonite,

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 sins of Jeroboam that he sinned, and that he caused Israel to sin, by his provocation with which he provoked to anger Jehovah, God of Israel.

31 Tout lòt bagay Nadab te fè yo, n'a jwenn yo ekri nan liv Istwa wa peyi Izrayèl yo.

And the rest of the matters of Nadab, and all that he did, are they not written on the book of the Chronicles 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 war hath been between Asa and Baasha 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 Judah reigned hath Baasha son of Ahijah over all Israel in Tirzah, twenty and four 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 doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, and walketh in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin that he caused Israel to sin.
