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 six and thirtieth year of the reign of Asa Baasha king of Israel came against Judah, and built Ramah, to the intent that he might let none go out or come 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:
Then Asa brought silver and gold out of the treasures of the house of the LORD and of the king's house, and sent to Ben-hadad king of Syria, that dwelt at 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.
[There is] a league between me and thee, as [there was] between my father and thy father: behold, I have sent thee silver and gold; go, break thy league with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from 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 hearkened to king Asa, and sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel; and they smote Ijon, and Dan, and Abelmaim, and all the store 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 came to pass, when Baasha heard [it], that he left off the building of Ramah, and let his work cease.
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.
Then Asa the king took all Judah; and they carried away the stones of Ramah, and the timber of it, with which Baasha was building, and he built with it Geba and Mizpah.
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 came to Asa king of Judah, and said to him, Because thou hast relied on the king of Syria, and not relied on the LORD thy God, therefore hath the host of the king of Syria escaped out of thy 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.
Were not the Cushites and the Lubims a numerous army, with very many chariots and horsemen? yet, because thou didst rely on the LORD, he delivered them into thy 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 the eyes of the LORD run to and fro throughout the whole earth, to show himself strong in the behalf of [them] whose heart [is] perfect towards him. In this thou hast done foolishly: therefore from henceforth thou shalt have wars.
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.
Then Asa was wroth with the seer, and put him in a prison house; for [he was] in a rage with him because of this [thing]. And Asa oppressed [some] of the people the same 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 acts of Asa, first and last, lo, they [are] written in the book 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 in the thirty and ninth year of his reign was diseased in his feet, until his disease [was] exceedingly [severe]: yet in his disease he sought not to the LORD, but to the physicians.
13 Lè li mouri, li t'ap mache sou karanteyennan depi li te wa.
And Asa slept with his fathers, and died in the one and fortieth 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 buried him in his own sepulchers which he had made for himself in the city of David, and laid him in the bed which was filled with sweet odors and divers kinds [of spices] prepared by the apothecaries' art: and they made a very great burning for him.
