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 Jehoash son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel, Amaziah son of Joash, king of Judah, began to reign.
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 began to reign; he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Jehoaddan, of 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'.
He did what was right in the eyes of Yahweh, yet not like David his father. He did everything that Joash, his father, 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.
But the high places were not taken away. The people still sacrificed and burned incense at 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'.
It came about that as soon as his rule was well established, he killed 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; instead, he acted according to what was written in the Book of the Law Moses, as Yahweh had commanded, saying, “The fathers must not be put to death for their children, neither must the children be put to death for their parents. Instead, every person must be put to death 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.
He killed ten thousand soldiers of Edom in the Valley of Salt; he also took Sela in war and called it Joktheel, which is what it is called to this 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 Jehoash son of Jehoahaz son of Jehu king of Israel, saying, “Come, let us meet each other face to face in battle.”
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 the king of Israel sent messengers back to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, “A thistle that was in Lebanon sent a message to a cedar in Lebanon, saying, 'Give your daughter to my son for a wife,' but a wild beast in Lebanon walked by and trampled down 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 attacked Edom, and your heart has lifted you up. Take pride in your victory, but stay at home, for why should you cause yourself trouble and fall, both 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. So Jehoash king of Israel attacked and he and Amaziah king of Judah met each other face to face at Beth Shemesh, which belongs to Judah.
12 Lame Izrayèl la bat lame Jida a byen bat. Tout sòlda peyi Jida yo vole gagè, y' al lakay yo.
Judah was defeated by Israel, and every man fled 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.
Jehoash king of Israel, captured Amaziah, king of Judah son of Jehoash son of Ahaziah, at Beth Shemesh. He came to Jerusalem and tore down the wall of Jerusalem from the Ephraim Gate to the Corner Gate, four hundred cubits in distance.
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, all the objects that were found in the house of Yahweh, and the valuable things in the king's palace, with hostages also, and 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 other matters concerning Jehoash, all that he did, his power, and how he fought with Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written in the book of the events 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.
Then Jehoash slept with his ancestors and was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel, and Jeroboam, his son, became king 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 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 other matters concerning Amaziah, are they not written in the book of the events 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'.
They made a conspiracy against Amaziah in Jerusalem, and he fled to Lachish. He fled to Lachish, but they sent men after him to Lachish and 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 brought him back on horses, and he was buried with his ancestors 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.
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'.
It was Azariah who rebuilt Elath and restored it to Judah, after King Amaziah slept with his ancestors.
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 Amaziah son of Joash king of Judah, Jeroboam son of Jehoash king of Israel began to reign in Samaria; he reigned 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.
He did what was evil in the sight of Yahweh. He did not depart from any of the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, who had caused Israel to sin.
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.
He restored the border of Israel from Lebo Hamath to the Sea of the Arabah, following the commands of the word of Yahweh, the God of Israel, which he had spoken through his servant Jonah son of Amittai, the prophet, who was 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 Yahweh saw the suffering of Israel, that it was very bitter for everyone, both slave and free, and that there was no rescuer for 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.
So Yahweh said that he would not blot out the name of Israel under heaven; instead, 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 other matters concerning Jeroboam, all that he did, his power, how he waged war and recovered Damascus and Hamath, which had belonged to Judah, for Israel, are they not written in the book of the events 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.
Jeroboam slept with his ancestors, with the kings of Israel, and Zechariah his son became king in his place.
