2 Istwa 16
1 Wa Asa te gen trannsenkan depi li t'ap gouvènen, lè Bacha, wa peyi Izrayèl la, anvayi peyi Jida. Li pran lavil Rama, li plen l' sòlda pa l' pou anpeche moun Asa yo pase antre soti nan peyi Jida.
In the thirty-sixth year of the reign of Asa, Baasha king of Israel has come up against Judah, and builds Ramah, so as not to permit any going out and coming in to Asa king of Judah.
2 Lè wa Asa wè sa, li pran bagay an lò ak bagay an ajan ki te nan tanp lan ak nan palè a, li renmèt yo nan men kèk moun pa l', li voye yo bò kote Bennadad, wa peyi Siri, ki te rete lavil Damas, ak mesaj sa a:
And Asa brings out silver and gold from the treasures of the house of YHWH and of the house of the king, and sends [them] to Ben-Hadad king of Aram, who is dwelling in Damascus, saying,
3 -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 te pase ak Bacha, wa peyi Izrayèl la. Konsa, l'a blije wete sòlda li yo nan peyi mwen an.
“A covenant [is] between me and you, and between my father and your father, behold, I have sent silver and gold to you; go, break your covenant with Baasha king of Israel, and he goes up from off me.”
4 Wa Bennadad dakò avèk sa wa Asa te di l' la. Li voye chèf lame li yo al atake lavil peyi Izrayèl yo. Yo pran lavil Ijon, lavil Dann, lavil Abèl Mayim ak tout lavil nan pòsyon tè branch fanmi Neftali a ki te sèvi depo.
And Ben-Hadad listens to King Asa, and sends the heads of the forces that he has to cities of Israel, and they strike Ijon, and Dan, and Abel-Maim, and all the stores, cities of Naphtali.
5 Lè Bacha vin konn sa, li wete tout sòlda li te kite nan lavil Rama yo, li sispann travay li t'ap fè pou ranfòse miray lavil la.
And it comes to pass, at Baasha’s hearing, that he ceases from building Ramah, and lets his work rest;
6 Lè sa a, wa Asa fè rele dènye moun nan peyi Jida pou wete wòch ak bwa wa Bacha te fè anpile pou ranfòse miray ranpa lavil Rama a. Wa Asa sèvi ak materyo sa yo pou ranfòse miray lavil Mispa ak miray lavil Gibeya.
and Asa the king has taken all Judah, and they carry away the stones of Ramah and its wood that Baasha has built [with], and he builds Geba and Mizpah with them.
7 Lè sa a, pwofèt Anani vin jwenn Asa, wa peyi Jida a, li di l' konsa: -Se paske ou te pito mete konfyans ou nan lame wa peyi Siri a pase nan Seyè a, Bondye ou la, kifè lame wa peyi Siri a chape anba men ou.
And at that time Hanani the seer has come to Asa king of Judah and says to him, “Because of your leaning on the king of Aram, and you have not leaned on your God YHWH, therefore the force of the king of Aram has escaped from your hand.
8 Eske moun Letiopi yo ak moun Libi yo ansanm pa t' fè yon gwo lame ak anpil cha lagè, anpil kavalye sou chwal? Malgre sa, Seyè a te lage yo nan men ou paske ou te mete konfyans ou nan li.
Did the Cushim and the Lubim not become a very great force for multitude, for chariot, and for horsemen? And in your leaning on YHWH He gave them into your hand,
9 Seyè a ap veye tou sa k'ap pase sou latè. Li pa kite anyen chape pou l' ka bay moun ki mete tout konfyans yo nan li fòs ak kouraj. Men fwa sa a, ou resi pèdi tèt ou. Ou aji tankou moun fou. Se poutèt sa moun pral fè ou lagè san rete.
for YHWH—His eyes go to and fro in all the earth, to show Himself strong [for] a people whose heart [is] perfect toward Him; you have been foolish concerning this, because from now on there are wars with you.”
10 Koze sa a te fè Asa fache anpil sou pwofèt la. Li fè yo fèmen l' nan prizon. Se depi lè sa a Asa konmanse ap maltrete kèk moun nan pèp la.
And Asa is angry at the seer, and puts him [in] the house of stocks, for [he is] in a rage with him for this; and Asa oppresses [some] of the people at that time.
11 Tou sa wa Asa te fè depi premye jou li moute wa a rive jouk dènye jou a, nou jwenn sa ekri nan liv Istwa wa peyi Jida yo ak wa peyi Izrayèl yo.
And behold, the matters of Asa, the first and the last, behold, they are written on the scroll of the kings of Judah and Israel.
12 Asa te gen trantnevan depi li te wa, lè yon gwo maladi nan pye rann li enfim. Malgre sa, li pa t' al chache gerizon nan men Seyè a. Li te pito al kay dòktè.
And Asa is diseased—in the thirty-ninth year of his reign—in his feet, until his disease is excessive; and also in his disease he has not sought YHWH, but among physicians.
13 Lè li mouri, li t'ap mache sou karanteyennan depi li te wa.
And Asa lies with his fathers, and dies in the forty-first year of his reign,
14 Yo antere l' nan kavo li te fè fouye pou tèt pa li nan lavil David la. Yo mete kadav la kouche sou yon payas fèt ak fèy santi bon ak tout kalite bon odè yo te pare jan yo konn fè l' la. Apre sa, yo limen yon gwo boukan pou li.
and they bury him in [one of] his graves that he had prepared for himself in the City of David, and they cause him to lie on a bed that [one] has filled [with] spices, and various kinds of mixtures, with perfumed work; and they burn a very great burning for him.
