2 Istwa 16
1 Nan trann-sizyèm ane règn Asa a, Baasha, wa a Israël la, te vin monte kont Juda, e li te ranfòse Rama pou anpeche ni antre, ni sòti, vè Asa, wa Juda a.
And in the thirty-eighth year of the reign of Asa, the king of Israel went up against Juda, and built Rama, so as not to allow egress or ingress to Asa king of Juda.
2 Konsa, Asa te pote fè sòti ajan avèk lò soti nan trezò lakay SENYÈ a avèk lakay wa a, e li te voye yo kote Ben-Hadad, wa Syrie a, ki te rete Damas la. Li te di:
And Asa took silver and gold out of the treasures of the house of the Lord, and of the king's house, and sent [them] to the son of Ader king of Syria, which lived in Damascus, saying,
3 “Kite genyen yon alyans antre ou menm avèk mwen, tankou antre papa m ak papa ou. Gade byen, mwen te voye ba ou ajan avèk lò. Ale, kraze alyans ou an avèk Baasha, wa Israël la, pou li retire li sou mwen.”
Make a covenant between me and you, and between my father and your father: behold, I have sent you gold and silver: come, and turn away from me Baasa king of Israel, and let him depart from me.
4 Konsa, Ben-Hadad te koute wa Asa. Li te voye chèf lame li yo kont vil Israël yo, e yo te frape Ijjon, Dan, Abel-Maïm, avèk tout vil depo Nephthali yo.
And the son of Ader listened to king Asa, and sent the captains of his host against the cities of Israel; and struck Aeon, and Dan, and Abelmain, and all the country round Nephthali.
5 Lè Baasha te tande sa, li te sispann ranfòse Rama, e li te kite travay li.
And it came to pass when Baasa heard [it] he left off building Rama, and put a stop to his work:
6 Alò, Wa Asa te mennen tout Juda, yo te retire wòch Rama yo avèk gwo bwa ki t ap sèvi pou bati yo, e avèk yo, li te ranfòse Guéba avèk Mitspa.
then king Asa took all Juda, and took the stones of Rama, and its timber, [with] which Baasa [had] built; and he built with them Gabae and Maspha.
7 Nan lè sa a, Hanani, konseye a te vin kote Asa, wa Juda a. Li te di li: “Akoz ou te depann de wa Syrie a e ou pa t depann de SENYÈ a, Bondye ou a, pou sa, lame wa Syrie a gen tan chape nan men ou.
And at that time came Anani the prophet to Asa king of Juda, and said to him, Because you did trust on the king of Syria, and did not trust on the Lord your God, therefore the army of Syria is escaped out of your hand.
8 Èske Etyopyen yo avèk Libyen yo pa t yon lame ki vast avèk anpil cha ak chevalye? Men akoz ou te depann de SENYÈ a, Li te livre yo nan men ou.
Were not the Ethiopians and Libyans a great force, in courage, in horsemen, in great numbers? and did not He deliver them into your hands, because you trusted in the Lord?
9 Paske zye a SENYÈ mache toupatou sou latè pou Li kapab bay soutyen ki fò a sila ki gen kè dedye a Li nèt yo. Nou te aji an foli nan afè sa a. Anverite, depi koulye a, nou va toujou gen gè.”
For the eyes of the Lord look upon all the earth, to strengthen every heart that is perfect toward him. In this you have done foolishly; henceforth there shall be war with you.
10 Alò, Asa te fache avèk konseye a, e li te mete li nan prizon, paske li te anraje avèk li pou bagay sa a. Epi nan menm lè a, Asa te oprime kèk moun nan pèp la.
And Asa was angry with the prophet, and put him in prison, for he was angry at this: and Asa vexed some of the people at that time.
11 Alò, zèv Asa yo, soti nan premye a jis rive nan dènye a, veye byen, yo ekri nan Liv A Wa a Juda avèk Israël yo.
And, behold, the acts of Asa, the first and the last, [are] written in the book of the kings of Juda and Israel.
12 Nan trant-nevyèm ane règn li a, Asa te vin malad nan pye li. Maladi a te grav, men menm nan maladi a, li pa t chache SENYÈ a, men pito doktè.
And Asa was diseased [in] his feet in the thirty-ninth year of his reign, until he was very ill: but in his disease he sought not to the Lord, but to the physicians.
13 Konsa, Asa te dòmi avèk zansèt li yo lè l fin mouri nan karanteyinyèm ane règn pa li a.
And Asa slept with his fathers, and died in the forties year of his reign.
14 Yo te antere li nan pwòp tonm ke li te fouye pou li menm nan lavil David la, e yo te kouche li nan plas repo ke li te plen avèk plizyè kalite epis ki te mele selon metye a yon moun ki konn fè pafen; epi yo te fè yon trè gwo dife pou li.
And they buried him in the sepulchre which he had dug for himself in the city of David, and they laid him on a bed, and filled [it] with spices and [all] kinds of perfumes of the apothecaries; and they made for him a very great funeral.
