2 Istwa 10
1 Roboam te ale Sichem, paske tout Israël te vini Sichem pou fè l vin wa.
And Rehoboam went to Shechem: in order to Shechem were all Israel come to make him king.
2 Lè Jéroboam, fis a Nebath la te tande sa, (paske li te an Égypte kote li te sove ale rive pou l kite prezans a wa Salomon), Jéroboam te retounen soti an Égypte.
And it came to pass, when Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who was in Egypt, where he fled from the presence of Solomon the king, heard it, that Jeroboam returned out of Egypt.
3 Pou sa, yo te voye lòd pou l vini. Lè Jéroboam avèk tout Israël te vini, yo te pale ak Roboam. Yo te di:
And they sent and called him. So Jeroboam and all Israel came and spoke to Rehoboam, saying,
4 “Papa ou te fè fado nou rèd. Alò, pou sa, lache sèvis di a papa ou ak fado lou a ke li te konn mete sou nou an, e nou va sèvi ou.”
Your father made our yoke grievous: now therefore ease you somewhat the grievous servitude of your father, and his heavy yoke that he put upon us, and we will serve you.
5 Li te di yo: “Retounen kote mwen nan twa jou.” Konsa, pèp la te ale.
And he said unto them, Come again unto me after three days. And the people departed.
6 Alò, Wa Roboam te fè konsiltasyon avèk ansyen ki te konn sèvi papa li yo, Salomon pandan li te vivan an. Li te mande yo: “Ki konsèy n ap ban mwen pou reponn a pèp sila a?”
And king Rehoboam took counsel with the old men that had stood before Solomon his father while he yet lived, saying, What counsel give all of you me to return answer to this people?
7 Yo te pale avèk li e te di: “Si ou va aji nan dousè avèk pèp sa a, si ou va fè yo kontan e pale pawòl dous ak yo, alò, yo va vin sèvi ou nèt.”
And they spoke unto him, saying, If you be kind to this people, and please them, and speak good words to them, they will be your servants for ever.
8 Men li te echwe konsèy ansyen yo te bay li yo, pou l te konsilte jennonm ki te grandi ansanm avè l e ki te kanpe devan l.
But he forsook the counsel which the old men gave him, and took counsel with the young men that were brought up with him, that stood before him.
9 Konsa, li te mande yo: “Ki konsèy n ap ban mwen pou m ta reponn pèp sila a, ki te pale avèk mwen, ki te di: ‘Fè fado ke papa ou te konn mete sou nou an vin pi lejè?’”
And he said unto them, What advice give all of you that we may return answer to this people, which have spoken to me, saying, Ease somewhat the yoke that your father did put upon us?
10 Jennonm ki te konn grandi avèk li yo te pale avèk li. Yo te di: “Konsa ou va reponn a pèp sila ki te pale avèk ou a, ki te di: ‘Papa ou te fè jouk nou lou; men ou menm, fè l pi lejè pou nou.’ Konsa, ou va reponn yo: ‘Ti dwèt mwen pi gwo pase ren papa m!
And the young men that were brought up with him spoke unto him, saying, Thus shall you answer the people that spoke unto you, saying, Your father made our yoke heavy, but make you it somewhat lighter for us; thus shall you say unto them, My little finger shall be thicker than my father's loins.
11 Konsi papa m te chaje nou avèk yon jouk lou, mwen va mete anplis sou jouk nou an. Papa m te konn disipline avèk fwèt, men mwen menm, avèk eskòpyon.’”
For whereas my father put a heavy yoke upon you, I will put more to your yoke: my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.
12 Konsa, Jéroboam avèk tout pèp la te parèt a Roboam nan twazyèm jou a jan wa a te mande lè l te di: “Retounen kote mwen nan twazyèm jou a.”
So Jeroboam and all the people came to Rehoboam on the third day, as the king bade, saying, Come again to me on the third day.
13 Wa a te reponn yo byen di, e Wa Roboam te echwe konsèy a ansyen yo.
And the king answered them roughly; and king Rehoboam forsook the counsel of the old men,
14 Li te pale avèk yo selon konsèy a jennonm yo, e li te di: “Papa m te konn fè jouk nou lou, men mwen va mete anplis sou li. Papa m te fè disiplin avèk fwèt, men mwen va fè disiplin avèk eskòpyon.”
And answered them after the advice of the young men, saying, My father made your yoke heavy, but I will add thereto: my father chastised you with whips, but I will chastise you with scorpions.
15 Konsa, wa a pa t koute pèp la, paske sa se te yon boulvèsman ki te soti nan Bondye, pou SENYÈ a ta kapab etabli pawòl ke Li te pale pa Achija, Silonit lan, a Jéroboam nan, fis a Nebath la.
So the king hearkened not unto the people: for the cause was of God, that the LORD might perform his word, which he spoke by the hand of Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam the son of Nebat.
16 Lè tout Israël te wè ke wa a pa t koute yo, pèp la te reponn wa a e te di: “Ki pòsyon nou gen nan David? Nanpwen eritaj pou nou nan fis Jesse a! Tout gason rive nan tant ou, O Israël! Koulye a, David, okipe pwòp lakay ou!” Konsa, tout Israël te pati rive nan tant yo.
And when all Israel saw that the king would not hearken unto them, the people answered the king, saying, What portion have we in David? and we have none inheritance in the son of Jesse: every man to your tents, O Israel: and now, David, see to your own house. So all Israel went to their tents.
17 Men pou fis Israël ki te rive nan vil a Juda yo, Roboam te renye sou yo.
But as for the children of Israel that dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned over them.
18 Epi Wa Roboam te voye Hadoram ki te chèf kòve yo, e fis Israël yo te lapide li ak kout wòch jiskaske li te mouri. Wa Roboam te fè vit monte cha li pou sove ale rive Jérusalem.
Then king Rehoboam sent Hadoram that was over the tribute; and the children of Israel stoned him with stones, that he died. But king Rehoboam made speed to get him up to his chariot, to flee to Jerusalem.
19 Konsa, Israël te vin nan rebelyon kont kay David la jis rive jodi a.
And Israel rebelled against the house of David unto this day.
