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 began to reign over Judah.
2 Li te renye pandan twazan nan Jérusalem. Non manman li se te Maaca, fis a Abisalom lan.
He reigned three years in Jerusalem. 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.
He walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before him; and his heart was not perfect with Yahweh his God, as 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.
Nevertheless for David’s sake, Yahweh his God gave him a lamp in Jerusalem, to set up his son after him and to establish Jerusalem;
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 that which was right in Yahweh’s eyes, and didn’t turn away from anything that he commanded him all the days of his life, except only in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.
6 Te gen lagè antre Roboam avèk Jéroboam pandan tout vi li.
Now there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of his 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.
The rest of the acts of Abijam, and all that he did, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? 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.
Abijam slept with his fathers, and they buried him in David’s city; and Asa his son 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 king of Israel, Asa began to reign over Judah.
10 Li te renye pandan karanteyen ane Jérusalem. Non manman li se te Maaca, fi a Abisalom lan.
He reigned 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 that which was right in Yahweh’s eyes, 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.
He put away the sodomites out of 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 Maacah his mother from being queen, because she had made an abominable image for an Asherah. Asa cut down her image and burned it at the brook Kidron.
14 Men wo plas yo pa t retire. Malgre sa, kè Asa te dedye nèt a SENYÈ a pandan tout jou li yo.
But the high places were not taken away. Nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect with Yahweh 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.
He brought into Yahweh’s house the things that his father had dedicated, and the things that he himself had dedicated: silver, gold, and utensils.
16 Alò te gen lagè antre Asa avèk Baescha, wa Israël la pandan tout jou pa yo.
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.
Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah, and built Ramah, that he might not allow anyone to go out or come 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 the gold that was left in the treasures of Yahweh’s house, and the treasures of the king’s house, and delivered it into the hand of his servants. Then King Asa sent them to Ben Hadad, the son of Tabrimmon, the son of Hezion, king of Syria, who lived 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 a treaty between me and you, like that between my father and your father. Behold, I have sent to you a present of silver and gold. Go, break your treaty with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart 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.
Ben Hadad listened to King Asa, and sent the captains of his armies against the cities of Israel, and struck Ijon, and Dan, and Abel Beth Maacah, and all Chinneroth, with all the land of Naphtali.
21 Lè Baescha fin tande koze sa a, li te sispann ranfòse Rama e li te vin rete Thirtsa.
When Baasha heard of it, he stopped building Ramah, and lived 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 made a proclamation to all Judah. No one was exempted. They carried away the stones of Ramah, and its timber, with which Baasha had built; and King Asa used it to build Geba 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 all the acts of Asa, and all his might, and all that he did, and the cities which he built, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? But in the time of his old age he was 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.
Asa slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in his father David’s city; and Jehoshaphat his son 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.
Nadab the son of Jeroboam began to reign over Israel in the second year of Asa king of Judah; and he reigned over Israel 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 that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, and walked in the way of his father, and in his sin with which he made Israel to sin.
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.
Baasha the son of Ahijah, of the house of Issachar, conspired against him; and Baasha struck him at Gibbethon, which belonged to the Philistines; for Nadab and all Israel were besieging Gibbethon.
28 Konsa, Baescha te touye li nan twazyèm ane Asa a, wa Juda a e li te vin renye nan plas li.
Even in the third year of Asa king of Judah, Baasha killed him 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 he was king, he struck all the house of Jeroboam. He didn’t leave to Jeroboam any who breathed, until he had destroyed him, according to the saying of Yahweh, which he spoke by 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.
for the sins of Jeroboam which he sinned, and with which he made Israel to sin, because of his provocation with which he provoked Yahweh, 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?
Now the rest of the acts of Nadab, and all that he did, aren’t they 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.
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 Asa king of Judah, Baasha the son of Ahijah began to reign over all Israel in Tirzah 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 that which was evil in Yahweh’s sight, and walked in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin with which he made Israel to sin.
