2 Istwa 32
1 Apre Ezekyas te fin fè tout bagay sa yo pou moutre jan li t'ap sèvi Bondye ak tout kè li, Senakerib, wa peyi Lasiri, anvayi peyi Jida. Li sènen tout lavil ak gwo ranpa yo avèk lide pou l' pran yo.
After these things faithfully described, Saneherib King of Asshur came and entred into Iudah, and besieged the strong cities, and thought to winne them for him selfe.
2 Lè Ezekyas wè Senakerib t'ap pwoche bò lavil Jerizalèm ak lide pou l' atake l' tou,
When Hezekiah sawe that Saneherib was come, and that his purpose was to fight against Ierusalem,
3 li reyini tout otorite ak chèf lame l' yo, li di yo li fè lide bouche tout sous dlo ki andeyò lavil la. Yo tout dakò.
Then he tooke counsell with his princes and his nobles, to stoppe the water of the fountaines without the citie: and they did helpe him.
4 Yon foul moun reyini vre, yo bouche tout sous dlo yo ansanm ak kannal anba tè ki te konn mennen dlo a byen lwen nan peyi a. Yo t'ap di yo p'ap kite wa peyi Lasiri yo jwenn anpil dlo lè y'a rive isit la.
So many of the people assembled themselues, and stopt all the fountaines, and the riuer that ranne through the middes of the countrey, saying, Why should the Kings of Asshur come, and finde much water?
5 Ezekyas mete gason sou li. Li fè repare tout miray lavil la, li bati fò won sou li ak yon lòt miray sou deyò. Li ranfòse ranpa ki pwoteje teren ranbleye ki bay sou solèy leve lavil David la. Li fè fè anpil frenn ak manch long ak anpil plak pwotèj.
And he tooke courage, and built all the broken wall, and made vp the towers, and another wall without, and repayred Millo in the citie of Dauid, and made many dartes and shields.
6 Li mete chèf lame alatèt pèp la, li reyini yo sou plas piblik ki bò pòtay lavil la. Li ankouraje yo, li di yo:
And he set captaines of warre ouer the people, and assembled them to him in the broade place of the gate of the citie, and spake comfortably vnto them, saying,
7 -Mete gason sou nou! Kenbe fèm! Pa kite anyen fè nou pè, ni devan wa peyi Lasiri a, ni devan gwo lame k'ap mache avè l' la, paske nou gen plis fòs avèk nou pase li menm li gen avè l'.
Be strong and couragious: feare not, neither be afraide for the King of Asshur, neither for all the multitude that is with him: for there be more with vs, then is with him.
8 Li menm, li konte sou fòs sòlda li yo. Nou menm, nou gen Seyè a, Bondye sèl Mèt la, pou ede nou, pou goumen pou nou. Lè pèp la tande pawòl sa yo soti nan bouch Ezekyas, wa peyi Jida a, yo tout pran kouraj.
With him is an arme of flesh, but with vs is the Lord our God for to helpe vs, and to fight our battels. Then the people were confirmed by the wordes of Hezekiah King of Iudah.
9 Kèk tan apre sa, Senakerib, wa peyi Lasiri a, te rive devan lavil lakis ansanm ak tout lame li a pou l' atake l'. Li voye kèk chèf bò kote Ezekyas, wa peyi Jida a ak bò kote tout pèp ki te lavil Jerizalèm lan avèk mesaj sa a:
After this, did Saneherib King of Asshur send his seruants to Ierusalem (while he was against Lachish, and all his dominion with him) vnto Hezekiah King of Iudah and vnto all Iudah that were at Ierusalem, saying,
10 -Men sa Senakerib, wa peyi Lasiri a, voye di nou: Poukisa nou gen tout konfyans sa a, kifè nou rete nan lavil Jerizalèm ki sènen toupatou a?
Thus saith Saneherib the King of Asshur, Wherein doe ye trust, that ye will remaine in Ierusalem, during the siege?
11 Lè Ezekyas di nou Seyè a, Bondye nou an, va delivre nou anba men wa peyi Lasiri a, se twonpe l'ap twonpe nou. Li pral kite nou mouri grangou ak swaf dlo.
Doeth not Hezekiah entice you to giue ouer your selues vnto death by famine and by thirst, saying, The Lord our God shall deliuer vs out of the hande of the King of Asshur?
12 Apa Ezekyas menm ki te disparèt dènye lotèl ak dènye kote yo te konn fè sèvis pou Seyè a, lèfini ki te di tout moun peyi Jida ak lavil Jerizalèm yo se devan yon sèl lotèl pou yo fè sèvis, pou yo boule lansan?
Hath not the same Hezekiah taken away his hie places and his altars, and commanded Iudah and Ierusalem, saying, Ye shall worshippe before one altar, and burne incense vpon it?
13 Se konnen nou pa konnen sa zansèt mwen yo ansanm avè m' nou te fè pèp lòt nasyon yo? Eske bondye nasyon sa yo te rive delivre yo anba men mwen?
Knowe ye not what I and my fathers haue done vnto all the people of other countreyes? were the gods of the nations of other landes able to deliuer their land out of mine hande?
14 Pa gen yonn nan bondye lòt nasyon zansèt mwen yo te detwi yo ki te rive delivre yo anba men mwen. Poukisa atò nou vle kwè Bondye nou an ka delivre nou anba men m'?
Who is he of al the gods of those natios (that my fathers haue destroied) that could deliuer his people out of mine hande? that your God should be able to deliuer you out of mine hand?
15 Se poutèt sa, pa kite Ezekyas ban nou manti, pa kite li pete nou! Nou pa bezwen kwè l'! Pa gen bondye ankenn gouvènman, ni bondye ankenn nasyon ki te ka delivre yon peyi anba men zansèt mwen yo, ni anba men pa m'! Ale wè pou Bondye nou an ta ka delivre nou anba men mwen!
Nowe therefore let not Hezekiah deceiue you, nor seduce you after this sort, neither beleeue ye him: for none of all the gods of any nation or kingdome was able to deliuer his people out of mine hande and out of the hande of my fathers: howe much lesse shall your gods deliuer you out of mine hande?
16 Chèf lame Lasiri yo te pale pi mal toujou sou Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, Seyè a, ak sou Ezekyas, sèvitè l' la.
And his seruants spake yet more against the Lord God, and against his seruant Hezekiah.
17 Senakerib te ekri yon lèt kote li te joure Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la. Li te di ladan l': Bondye lòt nasyon ki sou latè yo pa t' ka delivre pèp yo anba men m'. Se pa Bondye Ezekyas la ki va delivre pèp la anba men m'!
He wrote also letters, blaspheming the Lord God of Israel and speaking against him, saying, As the gods of the nations of other countreies could not deliuer their people out of mine hand, so shall not the God of Hezekiah deliuer his people out of mine hande.
18 Mesaje wa Lasiri yo t'ap pale byen fò nan lang ebre pou tout moun ki te sou miray lavil Jerizalèm yo te ka tande. Yo t'ap fè yo pè, yo t'ap fè yo pèdi kouraj pou yo te ka pran lavil la fasil.
Then they cryed with a loude voyce in the Iewes speach vnto the people of Ierusalem that were on the wall, to feare them and to astonish them, that they might take the citie.
19 Yo t'ap pale sou Bondye lavil Jerizalèm lan tankou yo te konn pale sou bondye lòt nasyon yo ki yon bann estati moun fè ak men.
Thus they spake against the God of Ierusalem, as against the gods of the people of the earth, euen the workes of mans hands,
20 Lè sa a, wa Ezekyas ak pwofèt Ezayi, pitit Amòz la, pran lapriyè, yo t'ap mande Bondye sekou.
But Hezekiah the King, and the Prophet Isaiah the sonne of Amoz prayed against this and cryed to heauen.
21 Seyè a voye yon zanj nan kan moun peyi Lasiri yo, li touye tout vanyan sòlda yo ansanm ak kaptenn ak chèf lame yo. Se konsa wa peyi Lasiri a tounen tou wont nan peyi l'. Yon jou li te antre nan tanp bondye li a, pwòp pitit li yo touye l' ak kout nepe.
And the Lord sent an Angel which destroyed all the valiant men, and the princes and captaines of the hoste of the King of Asshur: so he returned with shame to his owne lande. And when he was come into the house of his god, they that came foorth of his owne bowels, slewe him there with the sworde.
22 Se konsa Seyè a te delivre Ezekyas ak tout moun lavil Jerizalèm yo anba men Senakerib, wa peyi Lasiri a, ak anba lòt lènmi yo. Li fè yo viv san bri san kont ak tout peyi nan vwazinaj yo.
So the Lord saued Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Ierusalem from the hande of Saneherib King of Asshur, and from the hande of all other, and maintained them on euery side.
23 Anpil moun vini lavil Jerizalèm pote ofrann pou Seyè a ak kado pou Ezekyas, wa peyi Jida a. Depi lè sa a tout lòt nasyon nan vwazinaj yo respekte Ezekyas.
And many brought offrings vnto the Lord to Ierusalem, and presents to Hezekiah King of Iudah, so that he was magnified in the sight of all nations from thencefoorth.
24 Yon lè rive, Ezekyas tonbe malad, li te prèt pou mouri. Li lapriyè Seyè a. Seyè a reponn li, li fè l' wè yon mirak.
In those dayes Hezekiah was sicke vnto the death, and prayed vnto the Lord, who spake vnto him, and gaue him a signe.
25 Men, Ezekyas kite lògèy vire tèt li, li refize di mèsi pou sa Seyè a te fè pou li. Se konsa, Seyè a move ni sou li, ni sou peyi Jida, ni sou lavil Jerizalèm.
But Hezekiah did not render according to the rewarde bestowed vpon him: for his heart was lift vp, and wrath came vpon him, and vpon Iudah and Ierusalem.
26 Tansèlman, Ezekyas ansanm ak moun lavil Jerizalèm yo rekonèt fòt yo apre sa. Depi lè sa a, Seyè a pa move sou yo ankò jouk jou Ezekyas mouri.
Notwithstanding Hezekiah humbled him selfe (after that his heart was lifted vp) he and the inhabitants of Ierusalem, and the wrath of the Lord came not vpon them in the dayes of Hezekiah.
27 Ezekyas te gen anpil richès, tout moun te respekte l'. Li fè bati depo pou mete tout bagay an ajan, an lò li te genyen, bèl pyè koute chè, epis santi bon, plak pwotèj ak tout lòt bagay koute chè l' yo.
Hezekiah also had exceeding much riches and honour, and he gate him treasures of siluer, and of golde, and of precious stones, and of sweete odours, and of shieldes, and of all pleasant vessels:
28 Li fè bati tou depo pou mete grenn manje, diven ak lwil oliv, kay pou tout bèt li yo ak pak pou mouton l' yo.
And of store houses for the increase of wheat and wine and oyle, and stalles for all beasts, and rowes for the stables.
29 Li fè bati kèk vil, li achte kantite mouton, kabrit ak bèf, paske Bondye te ba li anpil richès.
And he made him cities, and had possession of sheepe and oxen in abundance: for God had giuen him substance exceeding much.
30 Se wa Ezekyas ki te bouche kote dlo sous Giyon an te konn soti sou anwo a pou fè l' pase sou anba bò solèy kouche lavil David la. Tou sa li te vle fè te mache byen.
This same Hezekiah also stopped the vpper water springs of Gihon, and led them streight vnderneath towarde the citie of Dauid Westwarde. so Hezekiah prospered in all his workes.
31 Se konsa, lè wa Babilòn yo te voye delege bò kote l' pou wè kalite mirak ki te fèt nan peyi a, Bondye te kite l' pou kont li pou sonde l', pou l' te ka konnen sa ki te nan kè li.
But because of the ambassadours of the princes of Babel, which sent vnto him to enquire of the wonder that was done in the lande, God left him to trie him, and to knowe all that was in his heart.
32 Tout lòt bagay wa Ezekyas te fè yo, jan li te sevi Bondye nan tou sa li t'ap fè, tou sa ekri nan liv Vizyon pwofèt Ezayi, pitit Amòz la, ak nan liv Istwa wa peyi Jida ak wa peyi Izrayèl yo.
Concerning the rest of the actes of Hezekiah, and his goodnesse, beholde, they are written in the vision of Ishiah the Prophet, the sonne of Amoz, in the booke of the Kings of Iudah and Israel.
33 Lè Ezekyas mouri, yo antere l' nan yon chanm anwo nan kavo fanmi David yo. Lè l' mouri, tout moun peyi Jida yo ak moun lavil Jerizalèm yo fè bèl lantèman pou li. Se Manase, pitit li, ki moute wa nan plas li.
So Hezekiah slept with his fathers, and they buryed him in the highest sepulchre of the sonnes of Dauid: and all Iudah and the inhabitants of Ierusalem did him honour at his death: and Manasseh his sonne reigned in his stead.
