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.
Now Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David. And Jehoram his son reigned in his stead.
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 sons of Jehoshaphat, Azariah, and Jehiel, and Zechariah, and Azariah, and Michael, Shephatiah: all these [were] the sons of Jehoshaphat 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 gave them great gifts of silver, and of gold, and of precious things, with fortified cities in Judah: but the kingdom he gave to Jehoram; because he [was] the first-born.
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.
Now when Jehoram had risen to the kingdom of his father, he strengthened himself, and slew all his brethren with the sword, and [divers] also of the princes of Israel.
5 Joram te gen trann-dezan lè l te devni wa e li te renye pandan uitan Jérusalem.
Jehoram [was] thirty and two years old when he began to reign, and he reigned eight years in Jerusalem.
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 did the house of Ahab: for he had the daughter of Ahab for a wife: and he wrought [that which was] evil 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.
Yet the LORD would not destroy the house of David, because of the covenant that he had made with David, and as he promised to give a light to him and to his sons for ever.
8 Pandan jou li yo, Édom te fè rebèl kont otorite Juda yo, e yo te etabli yon wayòm pou kont yo.
In his days the Edomites revolted from under the dominion of Judah, and made themselves a king.
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.
Then Jehoram went forth with his princes, and all his chariots with him: and he rose by night, and smote the Edomites who encompassed him, and the captains of the chariots.
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.
So the Edomites revolted from under the hand of Judah to this day. The same time [also] did Libnah revolt from under 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.
Moreover, he made high places in the mountains of Judah, and caused the inhabitants of Jerusalem to commit fornication, and compelled Judah to [do the same].
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 saith the LORD God of David thy father, Because thou hast not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat thy father, nor in the ways of Asa king of Judah,
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 Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to commit idolatry, like the idolatries of the house of Ahab, and also hast slain thy brethren of thy father's house, [who were] better than thyself:
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.
Behold, with a great plague will the LORD smite thy people, and thy children, and thy wives, and all thy goods:
15 Ou va vin soufri yon maladi ki rèd, yon maladi zantray ou, jiskaske zantray ou vin sòti akoz maladi a.’”
And thou [shalt have] great sickness by disease of thy bowels, until thy bowels fall out by reason of the sickness day by day.
16 SENYÈ a te boulvèse lespri Filisten yo kont Joram, ansanm ak Arab yo ki te nan lizyè Etyopyen yo.
Moreover, the LORD stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines, and of the Arabians, that [were] near the Cushites.
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 up into Judah, and broke into it, and carried away all the substance that was found in the king's house, and his sons also, and his wives; so that there was not a son left to him, save Jehoahaz the youngest of his sons.
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 it came to pass, that in process of time, after the end of two years, his bowels fell out by reason of his sickness: so he died of severe 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.
Thirty and two years old was he when he began to reign, and he reigned in Jerusalem, eight years, and departed without being desired: yet they buried him in the city of David, but not in the sepulchers of the kings.
