2 Istwa 13

1 Nan di-zuityèm ane Wa Jéroboam nan, Abijah te devni wa sou Juda.

In the eyghteenth yeere of King Ieroboam began Abiiah to reigne ouer Iudah.

2 Li te renye pandan twazan Jérusalem. Non manman l te Micaja, fi a Uriel la nan Guibea. Alò, te gen lagè antre Abija avèk Jéroboam.

He reigned three yere in Ierusalem: (his mothers name also was Michaiah the daughter of Vriel of Gibea) and there was warre betweene Abiiah and Ieroboam.

3 Abija te ouvri batay la avèk yon lame gèrye vanyan, kat-san-mil mesye byen chwazi, pandan Jéroboam t ap fè fòmasyon batay la kont li avèk ui-san-mil mesye byen chwazi, gèrye vanyan.

And Abiiah set the battel in aray with the armie of valiant men of warre, euen foure hundreth thousand chosen men. Ieroboam also set the battell in aray against him with eight hundreth thousande chosen men which were strong and valiant.

4 Abija te kanpe sou Mòn Tsemaraïm ki nan peyi ti mòn Éphraïm yo, e li te di: “Koute mwen, O Jéroboam avèk tout Israël:

And Abiiah stood vp vpon mount Zemeraim, which is in mount Ephraim, and sayde, O Ieroboam, and all Israel, heare you me,

5 Èske ou pa konnen ke SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la, te bay pouvwa sou Israël jis pou tout tan a David avèk fis li yo pa yon sèl akò?

Ought you not to know that the Lord God of Israel hath giuen the kingdome ouer Israel to Dauid for euer, euen to him and to his sonnes by a couenant of salt?

6 Men Jéroboam, fis a Nebath la, sèvitè a Salomon an, fis a David la, te leve e te fè rebèl kont mèt li a.

And Ieroboam the sonne of Nebat the seruant of Salomon the sonne of Dauid is risen vp, and hath rebelled against his lord:

7 Yon bann sanzave te rasanble vè li menm, vagabon yo, yon eprèv ki te twò fò pou Roboam, fis a Salomon an, lè li te trè jèn, timid e li pa t ka kenbe plas pa l kont yo.

And there are gathered to him vayne men and wicked, and made themselues strong against Rehoboam the sonne of Salomon: for Rehoboam was but a childe and tender hearted, and coulde not resist them.

8 “Epi koulye a, ou gen entansyon fè rezistans kont wayòm SENYÈ a pa fis a David yo. Se yon gran foul nou ye, e nou gen avèk nou jenn bèf an lò ke Jéroboam te fè kòm dye pou nou.

Now therefore ye thinke that yee be able to resist against the kingdome of the Lord, which is in the handes of the sonnes of Dauid, and ye bee a great multitude, and the golden calues are with you which Ieroboam made you for gods.

9 Èske nou pa t chase mete deyò prèt SENYÈ yo, fis a Aaron yo avèk Levit yo, e te fè pou kont nou prèt tankou pèp lòt peyi yo? Nenpòt moun ki vini konsakre li menm avèk yon jenn towo ak sèt belye, menm li menm kapab devni yon prèt a sila ki pa dye yo.

Haue ye not driuen away the Priestes of the Lord the sonnes of Aaron and the Leuites, and haue made you Priests like the people of other countreis? whosoeuer commeth to consecrate with a yong bullocke and seuen rams, the same may be a Priest of them that are no gods.

10 “Men pou nou, SENYÈ a se Bondye pa nou an e nou pa t abandone Li. Fis Aaron yo ap fè sèvis a SENYÈ a kòm prèt e se Levit yo ki fè travay a yo menm.

But wee belong vnto the Lord our God, and haue not forsaken him, and the Priestes the sonnes of Aaron minister vnto the Lord, and the Leuites in their office.

11 Chak maten e chak swa, yo brile bay SENYÈ a ofrann brile avèk lansan santi bon, pen konsakre ki sou tab pwòp, e chandelye a avèk lanp li yo pou limen chak swa; paske nou kenbe chaj a SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, men ou te abandone Li.

And they burne vnto the Lord euery morning and euery euening burnt offerings and sweete incense, and the breade is set in order vpon the pure table, and the candlesticke of golde with the lampes thereof, to burne euery euening: for we keepe the watch of the Lord our God: but ye haue forsaken him.

12 Koulye a, veye byen, Bondye avèk nou sou tèt nou, e prèt Li yo avèk twonpèt siyal pou sonnen alam kont nou. O fis Israël yo, pa goumen kont SENYÈ a zansèt nou yo, paske nou p ap reyisi.”

And behold, this God is with vs, as a captaine, and his Priests with the sounding trumpets, to crie an alarme against you. O yee children of Israel, fight not against the Lord God of your fathers: for ye shall not prosper.

13 Men Jéroboam te fè yon anbiskad pou vini pa dèyè, pou Israël ta devan Juda e anbiskad la pa dèyè yo.

But Ieroboam caused an ambushment to compasse, and come behind them, when they were before Iudah, and the ambushment behinde them.

14 Lè Juda te vire, alò yo te atake ni devan ni dèyè; pou sa, yo te kriye a SENYÈ a e prèt yo te soufle twonpèt yo.

Then Iudah looked, and beholde, the battel was before and behinde them, and they cried vnto the Lord, and the Priests blewe with the trumpets,

15 Konsa mesye Juda te fè leve kri lagè a, e nan moman sa a, Bondye te boulvèse Jéroboam avèk tout Israël devan Abija avèk Juda.

And the men of Iudah gaue a shoute: and euen as the men of Iudah shouted, God smote Ieroboam and also Israel before Abiiah and Iudah.

16 Lè fis Israël yo te fin sove ale devan Juda, Bondye te livre yo nan men yo.

And the children of Israel fledde before Iudah, and God deliuered them into their hande.

17 Abija avèk pèp li a te detwi yo avèk yon gwo masak, jiskaske senk-san-mil mesye Israël te tonbe mouri.

And Abiiah and his people slewe a great slaughter of them, so that there fel downe wounded of Israel fiue hundreth thousand chosen men.

18 Konsa, fis Israël yo te soumèt nan tan sa a, e fis Juda yo te pran viktwa a akoz yo te depan de SENYÈ a, Bondye a zansèt pa yo a.

So the children of Israel were brought vnder at that time: and the children of Iudah preuailed, because they stayed vpon the Lord God of their fathers.

19 Abija te kouri dèyè Jéroboam e te kaptire plizyè vil nan men li: Béthel avèk bouk pa li yo, Jeschana avèk bouk pa li yo, e Éphron avèk bouk pa li yo.

And Abiiah pursued after Ieroboam, and tooke cities from him, euen Beth-el, and the villages thereof, and Ieshanah with her villages, and Ephron with her villages.

20 Jéroboam pa t ankò reprann fòs li nan jou a Abija yo. SENYÈ a te frape li e li te vin mouri.

And Ieroboam recouered no strength againe in the dayes of Abiiah, but the Lord plagued him, and he dyed.

21 Men Abija te vin fò. Li te pran katòz madanm pou kont li, e li te devni papa a venn-de fis ak sèz fi.

So Abiiah waxed mightie, and marryed foureteene wiues, and begate two and twentie sonnes, and sixteene daughters.

22 Alò, tout lòt zèv Abija yo, avèk chemen pa li yo ekri nan memwa a pwofèt la, Iddo.

The rest of the actes of Abiiah and his maners and his sayings are written in the storie of the Prophet Iddo.
