2 Wa 16

1 Wa Peka, pitit Remalya, te gen tan gen disetan depi li t'ap gouvènen peyi Izrayèl lè Akaz, pitit Jotam, moute wa peyi Jida.

In the seventeenth year of Phacee the son of Romelia reigned Achaz the son of Joatham king of Juda.

2 Akaz te gen ventan lè sa a. Li gouvènen nan lavil Jerizalèm pandan sèzan. Men, li pa t' mache dwat devan Seyè a, Bondye li a, tankou David, zansèt li a, te fè l'.

Achaz was twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: he did not that which was pleasing in the sight of the Lord his God, as David his father.

3 Li te pito fè tankou wa peyi Izrayèl yo, li menm rive ofri pwòp pitit gason l' pou yo boule pou zidòl yo, dapre vye prensip krimenèl nasyon Seyè a te mete deyò pou fè plas pou moun Izrayèl yo te konn swiv.

But he walked in the way of the kings of Israel: moreover he consecrated also his son, making him pass through the fire according to the idols of the nations: which the Lord destroyed before the children of Israel.

4 Li fè touye bèt, li boule lansan nan tout tanp zidòl yo sou ti mòn yo ak anba gwo pyebwa.

He sacrificed also and burnt incense in the high places and on the hills, and under every green tree.

5 Se sou reny Akaz, Rezin, wa peyi Siri a, ak Peka, pitit gason Remalya a, wa peyi Izrayèl, mache sou lavil Jerizalèm pou yo atake l'. Yo fèmen Akaz anndan lavil la, men yo pa t' ka pran lavil la.

Then Basin king of Syria, and Phacee son of Romelia king of Israel came up to Jerusalem to fight: and they besieged Achaz, but were not able to overcome him.

6 Se lè sa a wa peyi Edon an pwofite pou reprann lavil Elat nan men moun peyi Jida yo, li mete yo deyò nan lavil la. Se konsa moun Edon yo tounen nan lavil la kote yo rete jouk jounen jòdi a.

At that time Rasin king of Syria restored Aila to Syria, and drove the men of Juda out of Aila: and the Edomites came into Aila, and dwelt there unto this day.

7 Lè sa a, Akaz voye mesaj bay Tiglat Pilesè, wa peyi Lasiri a, pou di l' konsa: —M'ap sèvi ou tankou pitit ou. Tanpri, vin delivre m' anba men wa peyi Siri a ak wa peyi Izrayèl la ki vin atake m'.

And Achaz sent messengers to Theglathphalasar king of the Assyrians, saying: I am thy servant, and thy son: come up, and save me out of the hand of the king of Syria, and out of the hand of the king of Israel, who are risen up together against me.

8 Akaz pran ajan ak lò ki te nan tanp lan ak nan trezò palè wa a, li voye yo fè Tiglat Pilesè, wa peyi Lasiri a, kado.

And when he had gathered together the silver and gold that could be found in the house of the Lord, and in the king’s treasures, he sent it for a present to the king of the Assyrians.

9 Wa Lasiri a koute l' vre, li moute al atake lavil Damas, li pran l'. Li depòte tout moun ki te rete la, mennen yo lavil Ki, epi li fè touye Rezin.

And he agreed to his desire: for the king of the Assyrians went up against Damascus, and laid it waste: and he carried away the inhabitants thereof to Cyrene, but Basin he slew.

10 Lè wa Akaz te lavil Damas pou l' te kontre ak Tiglat Pilesè, wa peyi Lasiri a, li wè lotèl ki te la a. Li leve plan lotèl la, li voye l' bay Ouri, prèt la.

And king Achaz went to Damascus to meet Theglathphalasar king of the Assyrians, and when he had seen the altar of Damascus, king Achaz sent to Urias the priest a pattern of it, and its likeness according to all the work thereof.

11 Se konsa, Ouri gen tan bati yon lotèl sou modèl wa Akaz te voye ba li soti Damas la anvan menm Akaz tounen soti Damas.

And Urias the priest built an altar according to all that king Achaz had commanded from Damascus, so did Urias the priest, until king Achaz came from Damascus.

12 Lè Akaz tounen soti Damas, li wè lotèl la, li pwoche, li moute bò lotèl la.

And when the king was come from Damascus, he saw the altar and worshipped it: and went up and offered holocausts, and his own sacrifice.

13 Li fè boule yon bèt sou li, li fè ofrann grenn jaden. Li vide yon ofrann diven ak san bèt li te ofri pou di mèsi a sou lotèl la tou.

And offered libations and poured the blood of the peace offerings, which he had offered upon the altar.

14 Lotèl an kwiv ki apa pou Seyè a te ant lotèl sa a ak kay Seyè a. Akaz fè deplase l' wete devan Tanp lan, li mete l' sou kote lòt lotèl la sou bò nò.

But the altar of brass that was before the Lord, he removed from the face of the temple, and from the place of the altar, and from the place of the temple of the Lord: and he set it at the side of the altar toward the north.

15 Epi Akaz bay Ouri lòd sa a: —Se sou gwo lotèl mwen an pou ou fè ofrann bèt yo boule nèt chak maten an ansanm ak ofrann grenn jaden chak aswè a. Se sou li pou ou fè ofrann bèt pou boule nèt ak ofrann grenn jaden pou wa a ak pou tout pèp la. Se sou li w'a ofri san bèt y'a touye yo ak diven ofrann yo. Se sou li w'a vide san tout bèt yo ofri pou boule nèt ak bèt y'a ofri bay Bondye. Pou lotèl an kwiv la menm, kite sa sou kont mwen.

And king Achaz commanded Urias the priest saying: Upon the great altar offer the morning holocaust, and the evening sacrifice, and the king’s holocaust, and his sacrifice, and the holocaust of the whole people of the land, and their sacrifices, and their libations: and all the blood of the holocaust, and all the blood of the victim thou shalt pour out upon it: but the altar of brass shall be ready at my pleasure.

16 Ozyas, prèt la, fè tou sa wa Akaz te ba li lòd fè.

So Urias the priest did according to all that king Achaz had commanded him.

17 Apre sa, wa Akaz fè demoute kabwa an kwiv yo. Li fè wete gwo basin an kwiv ki te chita sou bèf yo, li fè mete l' sou yon pave wòch.

And king Achaz took away the graven bases, and the laver that was upon them: and he took down the sea from the brazen oxen that held it up, and put it upon a pavement of stone.

18 Lèfini, pou l' te fè wa peyi Lasiri a plezi, li wete platfòm yo te bati anndan Tanp lan pou jou repo a. Li fè fèmen pòt deyò a kote wa a te konn pase pou antre nan Tanp lan.

The Musach also for the sabbath, which he had built in the temple: and the king’s entry from without he turned into the temple of the Lord, because of the king of the Assyrians.

19 Tout rès istwa wa Akaz la, tou sa li te fè, n'a jwenn sa ekri nan liv Istwa wa peyi Jida yo.

Now the rest of the acts of Achaz, which he did, are they not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Juda?

20 Lè wa Akaz mouri, yo antere l' menm kote ak zansèt li yo nan Lavil David. Se Ezekyas, pitit li, ki moute wa nan plas li.

And Achaz slept with his fathers, and was buried with them in the city of David, and Ezechias his son reigned in his stead.
