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 Joash, son of Joahaz, king of Israel, Amaziah the 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; and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. His mother’s name was Jehoaddin 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 that which was right in the LORD’s eyes, yet not like David his father. He did according to all 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.
However the high places were not taken away. The people still sacrificed and burned incense in 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 established in his hand, he killed his servants who had slain the king his father,
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.
but the children of the murderers he didn’t put to death, according to that which is written in the book of the law of Moses, as the LORD commanded, saying, “The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, nor the children be put to death for the fathers; but every man shall 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.
He killed ten thousand Edomites in the Valley of Salt, and took Sela by war, and called its name Joktheel, 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, the son of Jehoahaz son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, “Come, let’s look one another in the face.”
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.
Jehoash the king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, “The thistle that was in Lebanon sent to the cedar that was in Lebanon, saying, ‘Give your daughter to my son as wife.’ Then a wild animal that was in Lebanon passed 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 struck Edom, and your heart has lifted you up. Enjoy the glory of it, and stay at home; for why should you meddle to your harm, that you fall, even 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 went up; and he and Amaziah king of Judah looked one another in the 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 each man fled to his tent.
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 took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Jehoash the son of Ahaziah, at Beth Shemesh and came to Jerusalem, then broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim to the corner gate, 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 vessels that were found in the LORD’s house and in the treasures of the king’s house, the 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.
Now the rest of the acts of Jehoash which he did, and his might, and how he fought with Amaziah king of Judah, aren’t they 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.
Jehoash slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel; and Jeroboam his son 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 the son of Joash king of Judah lived after the death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel, fifteen years.
18 Tout rès istwa Amasya a ekri nan liv Istwa wa peyi Jida yo.
Now the rest of the acts of Amaziah, aren’t they 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'.
They made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem, and he fled to Lachish; but they sent 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 on horses, and he was buried at Jerusalem with his fathers in David’s city.
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 the 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'.
He built Elath and restored it to Judah. After that the king slept 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 Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah, Jeroboam the son of Joash king of Israel began to reign in Samaria for 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 that which was evil in the LORD’s sight. He didn’t depart from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made 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 the entrance of Hamath to the sea of the Arabah, according to the LORD, the God of Israel’s word, which he spoke by his servant Jonah the 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 the LORD saw the affliction of Israel, that it was very bitter for all, slave and free; and there was no helper 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.
The LORD didn’t say that he would blot out the name of Israel from under the sky; but he saved them by the hand of Jeroboam the son of Joash.
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.
Now the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, and all that he did, and his might, how he fought, and how he recovered Damascus, and Hamath, which had belonged to Judah, for Israel, aren’t they 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.
Jeroboam slept with his fathers, even with the kings of Israel; and Zechariah his son reigned in his place.
