2 Wa 14
1 Wa Joas, pitit gason Joakaz la, t'ap mache sou dezan depi li t'ap gouvènen peyi Izrayèl lè Amasya, pitit Joas, moute wa nan peyi Jida.
In the second year of the reign of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz over Israel, Amaziah son of Joash became king of Judah.
2 Li te gen vennsenkan lè sa a. Li gouvènen nan lavil Jerizalèm pandan ventnevan. Manman l' te rele Jeojadan. Se te yon moun lavil Jerizalèm.
He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem twenty-nine years. His mother’s name was Jehoaddan; she was from Jerusalem.
3 Li te fè sa ki dwat devan Seyè a, men pa tankou David, zansèt li a. Li te fè menm jan ak Joas, papa l'.
And he did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, but not as his father David had done. He did everything as his father Joash had done.
4 Tansèlman, li pa t' kraze tanp bondye lòt nasyon yo, kifè moun yo te toujou al touye bèt, boule lansan nan tanp sa yo.
Nevertheless, the high places were not taken away, and the people continued sacrificing and burning incense on the high places.
5 Lè Amasya santi li byen chita sou pouvwa a, li fè touye tout chèf nan lame a ki te touye papa l'.
As soon as the kingdom was firmly in his grasp, Amaziah executed the servants who had murdered his father the king.
6 Men, li pa t' manyen pitit ansasen sa yo, paske, dapre sa ki ekri nan liv lalwa Moyiz la, Seyè a te di: Papa pa gen dwa peye pou sa pitit li yo fè, ni pitit pa gen dwa peye pou sa papa yo fè. Chak moun va peye pou sa yo fè.
Yet he did not put the sons of the murderers to death, but acted according to what is written in the Book of the Law of Moses, where the LORD commanded: “Fathers must not be put to death for their children, and children must not be put to death for their fathers; each is to die for his own sin.”
7 Amasya te touye dimil (10.000) sòlda peyi Edon nan fon Sale a. Li goumen jouk li pran lavil Sela. Li rele l' Jokteyèl, non ki rete pou li jouk jounen jòdi a.
Amaziah struck down 10,000 Edomites in the Valley of Salt. He took Sela in battle and called it Joktheel, which is its name to this very day.
8 Apre sa, Amasya voye misyon bay Joas, pitit Joakaz, pitit pitit Jeou, wa peyi Izrayèl la, li mande l' batay.
Then Amaziah sent messengers to the king of Israel Jehoash son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu. “Come, let us meet face to face,” he said.
9 Joas voye reponn li: —Yon lè, yon touf pikan ki te sou mòn Liban voye yon misyon bay pye sèd la. Li di l' konsa: Bay pitit gason m' lan pitit fi ou la pou l' marye avè l'. Yon bèt nan bwa pase bò la, li kraze touf pikan an.
But Jehoash king of Israel replied to Amaziah king of Judah: “A thistle in Lebanon sent a message to a cedar in Lebanon, saying, ‘Give your daughter to my son in marriage.’ Then a wild beast in Lebanon came along and trampled the thistle.
10 Se pou m' di ou, Amasya, ou kraze moun peyi Edon yo. Koulye a, ou santi ou gwonèg anpil. M' byen kontan pou ou. Gonfle lestonmak ou jan ou kapab, men rete sou sa ou fè a. Poukisa pou w'ap chache traka bay kò ou pou sa pase mal ni pou ou ni pou peyi Jida a?
You have indeed defeated Edom, and your heart has become proud. Glory in that and stay at home. Why should you stir up trouble so that you fall—you and Judah with you?”
11 Men, Amasya derefize koute l'. Se konsa, Joas soti ak lame li pou l' al goumen ak Amasya bò lavil Betchemèch nan peyi Jida.
But Amaziah would not listen, and Jehoash king of Israel advanced. He and King Amaziah of Judah faced each other at Beth-shemesh in Judah.
12 Lame Izrayèl la bat lame Jida a byen bat. Tout sòlda peyi Jida yo vole gagè, y' al lakay yo.
And Judah was routed before Israel, and every man fled to his home.
13 Joas, wa peyi Izrayèl la, fè Amasya, wa peyi Jida a, prizonye lavil Bètchemèch. Lèfini li mache sou lavil Jerizalèm, li kraze miray ranpa lavil la depi nan Pòtay Efrayim rive bò Pòtay Kwen an sou yon longè sankatreven mèt antou.
There at Beth-shemesh, Jehoash king of Israel captured Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Joash, the son of Ahaziah. Then Jehoash went to Jerusalem and broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the Ephraim Gate to the Corner Gate—a section of four hundred cubits.
14 Li pran dènye bagay an lò ak an ajan li jwenn, tou sa ki te nan Tanp Seyè a ak tout richès ki te nan palè wa a. Li pote yo avè l' lavil Samari, san konte kantite moun li te fè prizonye sou kondisyon.
He took all the gold and silver and all the articles found in the house of the LORD and in the treasuries of the royal palace, as well as some hostages. Then he returned to Samaria.
15 Tout rès istwa Joas la, tou sa li te fè, jan li te vanyan sòlda lè li t'ap goumen ak Amasya, wa peyi Jida a, nou jwenn tou sa ekri nan liv Istwa wa peyi Izrayèl yo.
As for the rest of the acts of Jehoash, along with his accomplishments, his might, and how he waged war against Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
16 Lè Joas mouri, yo antere l' lavil Samari nan kavo wa Izrayèl yo. Se Jewoboram, pitit gason l' lan, ki moute wa nan plas li.
And Jehoash rested with his fathers and was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel. And his son Jeroboam reigned in his place.
17 Amasya, pitit Joas, wa peyi Jida a, te viv kenzan ankò apre lanmò Joas, pitit Joakaz, wa peyi Izrayèl la.
Amaziah son of Joash king of Judah lived for fifteen years after the death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel.
18 Tout rès istwa Amasya a ekri nan liv Istwa wa peyi Jida yo.
As for the rest of the acts of Amaziah, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
19 Yo moute yon konplo lavil Jerizalèm pou yo touye Amasya. Se konsa Amasya kouri al kache lavil Lakis. Men, lènmi l' yo rapouswiv li, yo touye l'.
And conspirators plotted against Amaziah in Jerusalem, and he fled to Lachish. But men were sent after him to Lachish, and they killed him there.
20 Apre sa, yo mete kadav li sou chwal, yo tounen avè l' lavil Jerizalèm, yo antere l' lavil David la nan kavo zansèt li yo.
They carried him back on horses and buried him in Jerusalem with his fathers in the City of David.
21 Tout pèp peyi Jida a pran Azarya, pitit gason Amasya a, yo fè l' wa nan plas papa l'. Azarya te gen sèzan lè sa a.
Then all the people of Judah took Azariah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in place of his father Amaziah.
22 Se li menm ki reprann lavil Elat, li fè l' tounen anba otorite wa Jida a, apre lanmò papa l'.
Azariah was the one who rebuilt Elath and restored it to Judah after King Amaziah rested with his fathers.
23 Amasya, pitit Joas, t'ap mache sou kenzan depi li t'ap gouvènen peyi Jida lè Jewoboram, pitit Joas, wa peyi Izrayèl la, moute wa nan plas papa l'. Li gouvènen nan lavil Samari pandan karanteyen an.
In the fifteenth year of the reign of Amaziah son of Joash over Judah, Jeroboam son of Jehoash became king of Israel, and he reigned in Samaria forty-one years.
24 Men li fè sa ki mal nan je Seyè a, li te lage kò l' nan fè menm peche ak Jewoboram, pitit Nebat la, li lakòz pèp Izrayèl la peche tou.
And he did evil in the sight of the LORD and did not turn away from all the sins that Jeroboam son of Nebat had caused Israel to commit.
25 Se Jewoboram ki reprann tout zòn ki te pou peyi Izrayèl la depi nan Pas Amat la nan nò, rive Lanmè Mouri a nan sid, jan Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, te bay Jonas, sèvitè l' la, mesaj la. Jonas sa a, pitit Amitayi, te yon pwofèt lavil Gatefè.
This Jeroboam restored the boundary of Israel from Lebo-hamath to the Sea of the Arabah, according to the word that the LORD, the God of Israel, had spoken through His servant Jonah son of Amittai, the prophet from Gath-hepher.
26 Seyè a te wè jan pèp Izrayèl la t'ap soufri anpil. Tout moun, jenn gason kou granmoun, t'ap pase pa yo. Pa t'gen pyès moun pou pote yo sekou.
For the LORD saw that the affliction of the Israelites, both slave and free, was very bitter. There was no one to help Israel,
27 Se konsa, li voye Jewoboram, pitit Joas la, pou vin delivre yo, paske se pa t' janm lide l' pou l' te disparèt yo sou latè.
and since the LORD had said that He would not blot out the name of Israel from under heaven, He saved them by the hand of Jeroboam son of Jehoash.
28 Tout rès istwa Jewoboram lan, tou sa li fè, jan li te vanyan sòlda lè li t'ap fè lagè, jan li te fè lavil Damas ak lavil Amat soti anba men moun Jida yo tounen anba otorite wa Izrayèl la, n'a jwenn tou sa ekri nan liv Istwa wa Izrayèl yo.
As for the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, along with all his accomplishments and might, and how he waged war and recovered both Damascus and Hamath for Israel from Judah, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
29 Lè Jewoboram mouri, yo antere l' menm kote ak tout wa Izrayèl yo. Se Zakari, pitit li, ki moute wa nan plas li.
And Jeroboam rested with his fathers, the kings of Israel. And his son Zechariah reigned in his place.
