1 Wa 15
1 Alò, nan di-zuityèm ane a Wa Jéroboam, fis Nebat la, Abijam te vin wa sou Juda.
In the eighteenth year of the reign of Jeroboam son of Nebat, Abijam became king of Judah,
2 Li te renye pandan twazan nan Jérusalem. Non manman li se te Maaca, fis a Abisalom lan.
and he reigned in Jerusalem three years. His mother’s name was Maacah daughter of Abishalom.
3 Li te mache nan tout peche a papa li te fè devan li yo. Kè li pa t dedye nèt a SENYÈ a, Bondye li a, tankou kè a papa zansèt li a, David.
And Abijam walked in all the sins that his father before him had committed, and his heart was not as fully devoted to the LORD his God as the heart of David his forefather had been.
4 Men pou koz David, SENYÈ a, Bondye li a, te ba li yon lanp nan Jérusalem, pou fè leve monte fis li apre li, e pou etabli Jérusalem.
Nevertheless, for the sake of David, the LORD his God gave him a lamp in Jerusalem by raising up a son to succeed him and to make Jerusalem strong.
5 Li te fè sa paske David te fè sa ki te dwat nan zye a SENYÈ a, e li pa t vire akote de nenpòt sa ke Li te kòmande li pandan tout jou lavi li, sof ke ka a Urie a, Etyen an.
For David had done what was right in the eyes of the LORD and had not turned aside from anything the LORD commanded all the days of his life, except in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.
6 Te gen lagè antre Roboam avèk Jéroboam pandan tout vi li.
And there was war between the houses of Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of Abijam’s life.
7 Alò, tout lòt zèv a Abijam avèk tout sa li te fè yo, èske yo pa ekri nan Liv Kwonik a Wa a Juda yo? Anplis, te gen lagè antre Abijam avèk Jéroboam.
As for the rest of the acts of Abijam, along with all his accomplishments, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah? And there was war between Abijam and Jeroboam.
8 Epi Abijam te dòmi avèk zansèt li yo, e yo te antere li nan lavil David. Asa, fis li a te devni wa nan plas li.
And Abijam rested with his fathers and was buried in the City of David, and his son Asa reigned in his place.
9 Konsa, nan ventyèm ane a Jéroboam, wa Israël la, Asa te kòmanse renye kòm wa nan Juda.
In the twentieth year of Jeroboam’s reign over Israel, Asa became king of Judah,
10 Li te renye pandan karanteyen ane Jérusalem. Non manman li se te Maaca, fi a Abisalom lan.
and he reigned in Jerusalem forty-one years. His grandmother’s name was Maacah daughter of Abishalom.
11 Asa te fè sa ki te dwat nan zye SENYÈ a tankou David, papa zansèt li a.
And Asa did what was right in the eyes of the LORD, as his father David had done.
12 Anplis, li te retire mal pwostitiye nan peyi a e li te retire tout zidòl ke zansèt li yo te fè yo.
He banished the male shrine prostitutes from the land and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.
13 Anplis, li te fè retire Maaca, manman li nan pozisyon rèn nan, paske li te fè yon imaj abominab tankou yon Astarté. Asa te koupe imaj abominab li a e li te brile li nan flèv Cédron an.
He also removed his grandmother Maacah from her position as queen mother because she had made a detestable Asherah pole. Asa chopped down the pole and burned it in the Kidron Valley.
14 Men wo plas yo pa t retire. Malgre sa, kè Asa te dedye nèt a SENYÈ a pandan tout jou li yo.
The high places were not removed, but Asa’s heart was fully devoted to the LORD all his days.
15 Li te fè antre nan kay SENYÈ a tout afè dedye pa papa li avèk tout afè dedye pa li menm; zouti fèt an ajan avèk lò.
And he brought into the house of the LORD the silver and gold and other articles that he and his father had dedicated.
16 Alò te gen lagè antre Asa avèk Baescha, wa Israël la pandan tout jou pa yo.
Now there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel throughout their days.
17 Baescha, wa Israël la, te monte kont Juda e te ranfòse Rama pou anpeche moun antre, oswa sòti kote Asa, wa Juda a.
Baasha king of Israel went to war against Judah and fortified Ramah to prevent anyone from leaving or entering the territory of Asa king of Judah.
18 Asa te pran tout ajan avèk lò ki te rete nan trezò lakay SENYÈ a ak trezò lakay wa a e li te livre yo nan men a sèvitè li yo. Epi Wa Asa te voye yo bay Ben-Hadad, fis Thabrimmon an, fis a Hezjon an, wa Syrie a, ki te rete Damas la. Li te di:
So Asa withdrew all the silver and gold that remained in the treasuries of the house of the LORD and the royal palace. He entrusted it to his servants and sent them with this message to Ben-hadad son of Tabrimmon, the son of Hezion king of Aram, who was ruling in Damascus:
19 “Kite yon akò fèt antre ou menm avèk mwen, tankou antre papa ou avèk papa m. Gade byen, mwen voye ba ou yon kado ajan avèk lò. Ale kraze akò ou avèk Baescha, wa Israël la, pou li retire lame li a sou mwen.”
“Let there be a treaty between me and you, between my father and your father. See, I have sent you a gift of silver and gold. Now go and break your treaty with Baasha king of Israel, so that he will withdraw from me.”
20 Konsa, Ben-Hadad te koute Wa Asa e te voye chèf lame li yo kont vil Israël yo, li te bat yo e pran Ijjon, Dan, Abel-Beth-Maaca, tout Kinneroth la ak tout teritwa Nephtali a.
And Ben-hadad listened to King Asa and sent the commanders of his armies against the cities of Israel, conquering Ijon, Dan, Abel-beth-maacah, and the whole land of Naphtali, including the region of Chinnereth.
21 Lè Baescha fin tande koze sa a, li te sispann ranfòse Rama e li te vin rete Thirtsa.
When Baasha learned of this, he stopped fortifying Ramah and withdrew to Tirzah.
22 Epi Wa Asa te fè yon pwoklamasyon a tout Juda——nanpwen pèsòn ki te eksepte——-epi yo tout te pote ale tout wòch nan Rama yo avèk bwa ke Baescha te sèvi pou bati yo. Wa Asa te bati avèk yo, Guéba nan Benjamin ak Mitspa.
Then King Asa summoned all the men of Judah, with no exceptions, and they carried away the stones of Ramah and the timbers Baasha had used for building. And with these materials King Asa built up Geba of Benjamin, as well as Mizpah.
23 Alò, tout lòt zèv Asa yo avèk tout pwisans li, tout sa li te fè ak vil ke li te bati yo, èske yo pa ekri nan Liv Kwonik a Wa a Juda yo? Men nan tan vyeyès li, li te aflije avèk maladi nan pye li.
Now the rest of the acts of Asa, along with all his might, all his accomplishments, and the cities he built, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah? In his old age, however, he became diseased in his feet.
24 Konsa, Asa te dòmi avèk zansèt pa li yo e li te antere avèk zansèt li yo nan lavil David la, papa li. Epi Josaphat te renye nan plas li.
And Asa rested with his fathers and was buried with them in the city of his father David, and his son Jehoshaphat reigned in his place.
25 Alò, Nadab, fis a Jéroboam nan, te vin wa sou Israël nan dezyèm ane Asa a, wa Juda a e li te renye sou Israël pandan dezan.
In the second year of Asa’s reign over Judah, Nadab son of Jeroboam became king of Israel, and he reigned two years.
26 Li te fè mal nan zye SENYÈ a e li te mache nan chemen papa li ak nan peche avèk sila li te fè Israël peche a.
And he did evil in the sight of the LORD and walked in the way of his father and in his sin, which he had caused Israel to commit.
27 Alò, Baescha, fis Achija a, a lakay Issacar a, te fè konplo kont Nadab, e Baescha te frape l fè l mouri nan Guibbethon, ki te apatyen a Filisten yo, pandan Nadab avèk tout Israël t ap fè syèj nan Guibbethon.
Then Baasha son of Ahijah of the house of Issachar conspired against Nadab, and Baasha struck him down at Gibbethon of the Philistines while Nadab and all Israel were besieging the city.
28 Konsa, Baescha te touye li nan twazyèm ane Asa a, wa Juda a e li te vin renye nan plas li.
In the third year of Asa’s reign over Judah, Baasha killed Nadab and reigned in his place.
29 Li te vin rive ke depi li te wa a, li te frape tout lakay Jéroboam. Li pa t kite a Jéroboam okenn moun vivan, jiskaske li te detwi yo nèt, selon pawòl ke SENYÈ a te pale pa sèvitè li a, Achija, Siloyit la.
As soon as Baasha became king, he struck down the entire household of Jeroboam. He did not leave to Jeroboam anyone that breathed, but destroyed them all according to the word that the LORD had spoken through His servant Ahijah the Shilonite,
30 Akoz peche ke Jéroboam te fè yo e avèk sila, li te fè Israël peche yo, akoz pwovokasyon li avèk sila li te pwovoke SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la, a lakòlè.
because of the sins Jeroboam had committed and had caused Israel to commit, and because he had provoked the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger.
31 Alò, lòt zèv a Nadab yo avèk tout sa ke li te fè yo, èske yo pa ekri nan Liv Kwonik a Wa Israël yo?
As for the rest of the acts of Nadab, along with all his accomplishments, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
32 Te gen lagè antre Asa avèk Baescha, fis a Achija a pandan tout jou pa yo.
And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel throughout their days.
33 Nan twazyèm ane Asa a, wa a Juda a, Baescha, fis a Achija a, te devni wa sou tout Israël nan Thirtsa e li te renye venn-kat ane.
In the third year of Asa’s reign over Judah, Baasha son of Ahijah became king of all Israel, and he reigned in Tirzah twenty-four years.
34 Li te fè mal nan zye SENYÈ a e li te mache nan chemen Jéroboam ak nan peche pa li avèk sila li te fè Israël peche yo.
And Baasha did evil in the sight of the LORD and walked in the way of Jeroboam and in his sin, which he had caused Israel to commit.
