2 Istwa 12
1 Lè wayòm a Roboam nan te fin etabli e li te gen fòs, li menm ak tout Israël avèk li te abandone lalwa SENYÈ a.
And it came to pass, when Rehoboam had established the kingdom, and had strengthened himself, he forsook the law of the LORD, and all Israel with him.
2 Konsa, li te vin rive nan senkyèm ane a Roboam nan, akoz yo pa t fidèl a SENYÈ a, ke Schischak, wa Égypte la, te monte kont Jérusalem,
And it came to pass, [that] in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they had transgressed against the LORD,
3 avèk mil-de-san cha ak swasann-di-mil chevalye. Epi moun ki te vini avèk li soti an Égypte yo te depase kontwòl: Libyen yo, Sikyen ak Etyopyen yo.
With twelve hundred chariots, and sixty thousand horsemen: and the people [were] without number that came with him out of Egypt; the Lubims, the Sukkiims, and the Cushites.
4 Li te kaptire vil fòtifye Juda yo, e li te rive jis Jérusalem.
And he took the fortified cities which [pertained] to Judah, and came to Jerusalem.
5 Epi Schemaeja, pwofèt la, te vin kote Roboam avèk chèf Juda ki te rasanble nan Jérusalem akoz Schischak yo, e li te di yo: “Konsa pale SENYÈ a: ‘Ou te abandone Mwen, e pou sa, Mwen te abandone ou bay Schischak.’”
Then came Shemaiah the prophet to Rehoboam, and [to] the princes of Judah, that were assembled at Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said to them, Thus saith the LORD, Ye have forsaken me, and therefore have I also left you in the hand of Shishak.
6 Pou sa, chèf Israël yo avèk wa a te imilye yo. Yo te di: “SENYÈ a jis.”
Upon which the princes of Israel, and the king humbled themselves; and they said, The LORD [is] righteous.
7 Lè SENYÈ a te wè ke yo te imilye yo, pawòl SENYÈ a te vini a Schemaeja, e te di: “Yo te imilye yo. Pou sa, Mwen p ap detwi yo, men Mwen va ba yo yon mezi delivrans, e lakòlè Mwen p ap vide sou Jérusalem pa mwayen a Schischak.
And when the LORD saw that they humbled themselves, the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah, saying, They have humbled themselves; [therefore] I will not destroy them, but I will grant them some deliverance; and my wrath shall not be poured out upon Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.
8 Men yo va devni esklav li, pou yo kab vin konprann antre sèvi Mwen ak sèvi wayòm lòt peyi yo.”
Nevertheless they shall be his servants; that they may know my service, and the service of the kingdoms of the countries.
9 Konsa Schischak, wa Égypte la, te monte kont Jérusalem, e li te pran tout trezò lakay SENYÈ a ak trezò nan palè wa a. Li te pran tout bagay.
So Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, and took away the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king's house; he took all: he carried away also the shields of gold which Solomon had made.
10 Konsa, Wa Roboam te fè boukliye defans an bwonz pou ranplase yo, e li te mete yo anba pwotèj a kòmandan gad ki te gadyen pòtay lakay wa yo.
Instead of which, king Rehoboam made shields of brass, and committed [them] to the hands of the chief of the guard, that kept the entrance of the king's house.
11 Depi wa a te antre lakay SENYÈ a, gad yo te pote yo vini, e apre, yo te mennen yo tounen nan chanm gad yo.
And when the king entered into the house of the LORD, the guard came and conveyed them, and brought them again into the guard-chamber.
12 Epi lè li te fin imilye li, lakòlè SENYÈ a te vire kite li, pou l pa ta detwi nèt; epi anplis, tout bagay te mache byen an Juda.
And when he humbled himself, the wrath of the LORD turned from him, that he would not destroy [him] altogether: and also in Judah things went well.
13 Konsa, Wa Roboam te ranfòse tèt li Jérusalem, e li te renye. Alò, Roboam te gen laj karanteyen ane lè li te kòmanse renye, e li te renye di-sèt-ane Jérusalem, vil ke SENYÈ a te chwazi soti nan tout tribi Israël yo pou mete non Li an. Epi non manman li te Naama, Amoreyèn nan.
So king Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem, and reigned: for Rehoboam [was] one and forty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the LORD had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there. And his mother's name [was] Naamah an Ammonitess.
14 Li te fè mal, paske li pa t aplike kè l pou konnen SENYÈ a.
And he did evil, because he prepared not his heart to seek the LORD.
15 Alò, zèv a Roboam yo, soti nan premye a jis rive nan dènye a, èske yo pa ekri nan rekò a Schemaeja yo, pwofèt a Iddo a, konseye a, selon anrejistreman zansèt yo? Epi te gen lagè kont Roboam avèk Jéroboam tout tan.
Now the acts of Rehoboam, first and last, [are] they not written in the book of Shemaiah the prophet, and of Iddo the seer, concerning genealogies? And [there were] wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.
16 Konsa, Roboam te dòmi avèk zansèt li yo, e li te antere nan lavil David la. Epi fis li a, Abija te vin wa nan plas li.
And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David: and Abijah his son reigned in his stead.
