2 Istwa 21
1 Alò, Josaphat te dòmi avèk zansèt li yo, e li te antere avèk zansèt li yo nan vil David la; e Joram, fis li a, te vin wa nan plas li.
Iehosphaphat then slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the citie of Dauid: and Iehoram his sonne reigned in his steade.
2 Joram te gen frè, fis a Josaphat yo: Azaria, Micaël, avèk Schephathia. Tout sila yo te fis a Josaphat, wa Israël la.
And he had brethren the sonnes of Iehoshaphat, Azariah, and Iehiel, and Zechariah, and Azariah, and Michael, and Shephatiah. All these were the sonnes of Iehoshaphat King of Israel.
3 Papa yo te ba yo anpil kado an ajan, lò, avèk bagay presye, avèk vil fòtifye nan Juda, men li te bay wayòm nan a Joram akoz li te premye ne.
And their father gaue them great giftes of siluer and of golde, and of precious things, with strong cities in Iudah, but the kingdome gaue he to Iehoram: for he was the eldest.
4 Lè Joram te fin kontwole wayòm papa li, e te fè pozisyon li byen solid, li te touye tout frè li yo avèk nepe, ansanm ak kèk nan chèf Israël yo tou.
And Iehoram rose vp vpon the kingdom of his father, and made himselfe strong, and slew all his brethren with the sworde, and also of the princes of Israel.
5 Joram te gen trann-dezan lè l te devni wa e li te renye pandan uitan Jérusalem.
Iehoram was two and thirtie yeere olde, when he began to reigne, and he reigned eyght yeere in Ierusalem.
6 Li te mache nan chemen a wa Israël yo, menm jan avèk lakay Achab, (paske fi Achab la te madanm li) e li te fè mal nan zye a SENYÈ a.
And he walked in the way of the Kings of Israel, as the house of Ahab had done: for he had the daughter of Ahab to wife, and he wrought euill in the eyes of the Lord.
7 Men SENYÈ a pa t vle detwi lakay David akoz akò ke Li te fè ak David la, e akoz Li te fè pwomès pou bay yon lanp pou li avèk fis li yo jis pou tout tan.
Howbeit the Lord would not destroy the house of Dauid, because of the couenant that he had made with Dauid, and because he had promised to giue a light to him, and to his sonnes for euer.
8 Pandan jou li yo, Édom te fè rebèl kont otorite Juda yo, e yo te etabli yon wayòm pou kont yo.
In his dayes Edom rebelled from vnder the hand of Iudah, and made a King ouer them.
9 Konsa, Joram te travèse avèk chèf li yo ak tout cha li yo avèk li. Li te leve pandan nwit lan, e li te touye Edomit ki te antoure li yo, avèk chèf a cha yo.
And Iehoram went forth with his princes, and all his charets with him: and hee rose vp by night, and smote Edom, which had compassed him in, and the captaines of the charets.
10 Akoz sa, Édom te fè rebèl kont Juda jis rive Jodi a. Epi Libna te fè rebèl menm lè a kont otorite li, akoz li te bliye SENYÈ a, Bondye a zansèt li yo.
But Edom rebelled from vnder the hande of Iudah vnto this day. then did Libnah rebell at the same time from vnder his hand, because he had forsaken the Lord God of his fathers.
11 Anplis, li te fè wo plas nan mòn Juda yo. Li te fè pèp Jérusalem nan jwe pwostitisyon, e li te mennen Juda nan move wout.
Moreouer hee made hie places in the mountaines of Iudah, and caused the inhabitants of Ierusalem to commit fornication, and compelled Iudah thereto.
12 Pou sa a, yon lèt te vin kote li soti nan men Élie, pwofèt la. Li te di: “Konsa pale SENYÈ a, Bondye a papa zansèt ou a, David: ‘Akoz ou pa t mache nan chemen a Josaphat, papa ou, ak nan chemen Asa, wa Juda a,
And there came a writing to him from Elijah the Prophet, saying, Thus sayth the Lord God of Dauid thy father, Because thou hast not walked in the wayes of Iehoshaphat thy father, nor in the wayes of Asa King of Iudah,
13 men ou te mache nan chemen wa Israël yo, e ou te fè Juda avèk pèp Jérusalem nan jwe pwostitisyon, jan lakay Achab te jwe pwostitisyon an. Anplis, ou te touye frè ou yo, pwòp fanmi pa w, ki te pi bon pase ou.
But hast walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and hast made Iudah and the inhabitantes of Ierusalem to go a whoring, as the house of Ahab went a whoring, and hast also slaine thy brethre of thy fathers house, which were better then thou,
14 Pou sa a, men gade, SENYÈ a va frape pèp ou a, fis ou yo, madanm ou yo ak tout byen ou yo avèk gwo malè.
Beholde, with a great plague will the Lord smite thy people, and thy children, and thy wiues, and all thy substance,
15 Ou va vin soufri yon maladi ki rèd, yon maladi zantray ou, jiskaske zantray ou vin sòti akoz maladi a.’”
And thou shalt be in great diseases in the disease of thy bowels, vntill thy bowels fall out for the disease, day by day.
16 SENYÈ a te boulvèse lespri Filisten yo kont Joram, ansanm ak Arab yo ki te nan lizyè Etyopyen yo.
So the Lord stirred vp against Iehoram the spirite of the Philistims, and the Arabians that were beside the Ethiopians.
17 Yo te vini kont Juda pou te atake li, e yo te fè pote ale tout posesyon ke yo te jwenn lakay wa a, ansanm avèk fis li yo, ak madanm li yo, jiskaske pa t gen fis ki te rete pou li, sof Joachaz, pi piti nan fis li yo.
And they came vp into Iudah, and brake into it, and caryed away all the substance that was found in the Kings house, and his sonnes also, and his wiues, so that there was not a sonne left him, saue Iehoahaz, the yongest of his sonnes.
18 Konsa, apre tout bagay sa a, SENYÈ a te frape li nan zantray li avèk yon maladi ki pa t kab geri.
And after all this, the Lord smote him in his bowels with an incurable disease.
19 Alò, li te vin rive pandan tan ekoule a, nan fen dezan, ke zantray li te sòti akoz maladi li a, e li te mouri avèk gwo doulè. Epi pèp li a pa t fè dife pou li tankou dife yo te fè pou papa zansèt li yo.
And in processe of time, euen after the end of two yeeres, his guttes fell out with his disease: so he dyed of sore diseases: and his people made no burning for him like the burning of his fathers.
20 Li te gen trann-dezan lè l te vin wa e li te renye Jérusalem pandan uitan. Lè l te mouri li te san regrè a pèsòn. Yo te antere li lavil David, men pa nan tonm a wa yo.
When he began to reigne, he was two and thirtie yeere olde, and reigned in Ierusalem eight yeere, and liued without being desired: yet they buryed him in the citie of Dauid, but not among the sepulchres of the Kings.
