1 Wa 15

1 Alò, nan di-zuityèm ane a Wa Jéroboam, fis Nebat la, Abijam te vin wa sou Juda.

Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, Abijam became king over Judah.

2 Li te renye pandan twazan nan Jérusalem. Non manman li se te Maaca, fis a Abisalom lan.

For three years he was king in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Maacah, the 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 he did the same sins which his father had done before him: his heart was not completely true to the Lord his God, like the heart of David his father.

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.

But because of David, the Lord gave him a light in Jerusalem, making his sons king after him, so that Jerusalem might be safe;

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.

Because David did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, and never in all his life went against his orders, but only in the question of Uriah the Hittite.

6 Te gen lagè antre Roboam avèk Jéroboam pandan tout vi li.

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.

Now the rest of the acts of Abijam, and all he did, are they not recorded in the book of the history 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.

Then Abijam went to rest with his fathers, and they put him into the earth in the town of David: and Asa his son became king 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 that Jeroboam was king of Israel, Asa became king over Judah.

10 Li te renye pandan karanteyen ane Jérusalem. Non manman li se te Maaca, fi a Abisalom lan.

And he was king for forty-one years in Jerusalem; his mother's name was Maacah, the daughter of Abishalom.

11 Asa te fè sa ki te dwat nan zye SENYÈ a tankou David, papa zansèt li a.

Asa did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, as David his father did.

12 Anplis, li te retire mal pwostitiye nan peyi a e li te retire tout zidòl ke zansèt li yo te fè yo.

Those used for sex purposes in the worship of the gods he sent out of the country, and he took away all the images which 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.

And he would not let Maacah his mother be queen, because she had made a disgusting image for Asherah; and Asa had the image cut down and burned by the stream Kidron.

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, however, were not taken away: but still the heart of Asa was true to the Lord all his life.

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.

He took into the house of the Lord all the things which his father had made holy, and those which he himself had made holy, silver and gold and vessels.

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, all 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.

And Baasha, king of Israel, went up against Judah, building Ramah, so that no one was able to go out or in to 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:

Then Asa took all the silver and gold which was still stored in the Lord's house, and in the king's house, and sent them, in the care of his servants, to Ben-hadad, son of Tabrimmon, son of Rezon, king of Aram, at Damascus, saying,

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 an agreement between me and you as there was between my father and your father: see, I have sent you an offering of silver and gold; go and put an end to your agreement with Baasha, king of Israel, so that he may give up attacking 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.

So Ben-hadad did as King Asa said, and sent the captains of his armies against the towns of Israel, attacking Ijon and Dan and Abel-beth-maacah, and all Chinneroth as far as all the land of Naphtali.

21 Lè Baescha fin tande koze sa a, li te sispann ranfòse Rama e li te vin rete Thirtsa.

And Baasha, hearing of it, put a stop to the building of Ramah, and was living in 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 got all Judah together, making every man come; and they took away the stones and the wood with which Baasha was building Ramah, and King Asa made use of them for building Geba in the land of Benjamin, and 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, and his power, and all he did, and the towns of which he was the builder, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Judah? But when he was old he had a disease of the 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.

So Asa went to rest with his fathers and was put into the earth in the town of David his father: and Jehoshaphat his son became king 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.

Nadab, the son of Jeroboam, became king over Israel in the second year that Asa was king of Judah; and he was king of Israel for 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.

He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, copying the evil ways of his father, and the sin which he did and made Israel do.

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.

And Baasha, the son of Ahijah, of the family of Issachar, made a secret design against him, attacking him at Gibbethon, a town of the Philistines; for Nadab and the armies of Israel were making war on Gibbethon.

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 the rule of Asa, king of Judah, Baasha put him to death, and became king 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.

And straight away when he became king, he sent destruction on all the offspring of Jeroboam; there was not one living person of all the family of Jeroboam whom he did not put to death, so the word of the Lord, which he said by his servant Ahijah the Shilonite, came about;

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 which Jeroboam did and made Israel do, moving the Lord, the God of Israel, to wrath.

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?

Now the rest of the acts of Nadab, and all he did, are they not recorded in the book of the history 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, all 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 the rule of Asa, king of Judah, Baasha, the son of Ahijah, became king over all Israel in Tirzah, and was king for 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.

He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, copying the evil ways of Jeroboam and the sin which he made Israel do.
