2 Istwa 25
1 Amatsia te gen laj a venn-senkan lè l te devni wa, e li te renye vent-nevan Jérusalem. Non manman li te Joaddan de Jérusalem.
Amaziah was twenty and five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem: and his mother’s name was Jehoaddan, of Jerusalem.
2 Li te fè sa ki dwat nan zye SENYÈ a, sepandan, pa avèk tout kè l.
And he did that which was right in the eyes of Jehovah, but not with a perfect heart.
3 Alò, li te vin rive depi wayòm nan te byen solid nan men l, ke li te touye sèvitè li yo ki te touye papa li, wa a.
Now it came to pass, when the kingdom was established unto him, that he slew his servants that had killed the king his father.
4 Sepandan, li pa t touye pitit yo, men li te swiv sa ki ekri nan lalwa nan liv Moïse la, ke SENYÈ a te kòmande, ki te di: “Papa yo p ap mete a lanmò pou fis yo, ni fis yo p ap mete a lanmò pou papa yo, men chak moun va mete a lanmò pou pwòp peche pa l.”
But he put not their children to death, but did according to that which is written in the law in the book of Moses, as Jehovah commanded, saying, The fathers shall not die for the children, neither shall the children die for the fathers; but every man shall die for his own sin.
5 Anplis, Amatsia te rasanble Juda, e li te òganize yo selon lakay papa yo anba chèf a dè milye e chèf a dè santèn toupatou nan Juda avèk Benjamin. Li te pran yon kontwòl global a sila soti nan ventan oswa plis yo, e li te twouve yo a twa-san-mil mesye, byen chwazi pou fè lagè ak manyen lans ak pwotèj.
Moreover Amaziah gathered Judah together, and ordered them according to their fathers’ houses, under captains of thousands and captains of hundreds, even all Judah and Benjamin: and he numbered them from twenty years old and upward, and found them three hundred thousand chosen men, able to go forth to war, that could handle spear and shield.
6 Li te anplwaye osi san-mil gèrye plen kouraj ki sòti an Israël pou san talan ajan.
He hired also a hundred thousand mighty men of valor out of Israel for a hundred talents of silver.
7 Men yon nonm Bondye te rive kote li e te di: “O Wa, pa kite lame Israël la ale avèk ou, paske SENYÈ a pa avèk Israël, ni avèk okenn nan fis Éphraïm yo.
But there came a man of God to him, saying, O king, let not the army of Israel go with thee; for Jehovah is not with Israel, [to wit], with all the children of Ephraim.
8 Men si ou ale, aji avèk fòs pou batay la. Bondye va rale ou desann devan lènmi yo, paske Bondye gen pouvwa pou ede e pou desann.”
But if thou wilt go, do [valiantly], be strong for the battle: God will cast thee down before the enemy; for God hath power to help, and to cast down.
9 Amatsia te di a nonm Bondye a: “Men kisa n ap fè pou afè san talan ke m te bay a sòlda Israël yo?” Nonm Bondye a te di: “Senyè a gen bokou plis pou bay pase sa.”
And Amaziah said to the man of God, But what shall we do for the hundred talents which I have given to the army of Israel? And the man of God answered, Jehovah is able to give thee much more than this.
10 Konsa, Amatsia te voye yo ale, sòlda ki te rive kote li soti Éphraïm yo, pou rive lakay yo. Akoz sa a, kòlè yo te brile kont Juda e yo te retounen lakay ak gwo kòlè.
Then Amaziah separated them, [to wit], the army that was come to him out of Ephraim, to go home again: wherefore their anger was greatly kindled against Judah, and they returned home in fierce anger.
11 Alò, Amatsia te ranfòse tèt li; li te mennen pèp li a sòti pou ale nan Vale Sèl la, e te frape di-mil nan fis a Séir yo.
And Amaziah took courage, and led forth his people, and went to the Valley of Salt, and smote of the children of Seir ten thousand.
12 Fis a Juda yo, anplis, te kaptire di-mil tou vivan. Yo te mennen yo anwo pwent falèz la, e te jete yo anba soti anwo falèz la, jiskaske yo tout te kraze chire an mòso.
And [other] ten thousand did the children of Judah carry away alive, and brought them unto the top of the rock, and cast them down from the top of the rock, so that they were all broken in pieces.
13 Men sòlda ke Amatsia te voye retounen pou yo pa ale nan batay la avèk li yo, te atake vil a Juda yo, soti Samarie jis rive Beth-Horon. Yo te frape twa-mil nan yo, e te piyaje anpil byen yo.
But the men of the army whom Amaziah sent back, that they should not go with him to battle, fell upon the cities of Judah, from Samaria even unto Beth-horon, and smote of them three thousand, and took much spoil.
14 Alò, lè Amatsia te sòti nan masak Edomit yo, li te pote dye a fis a Séir yo. Li te pozisyone yo tankou dye pa li, pou l bese ba devan yo e te brile lansan a yo menm.
Now it came to pass, after that Amaziah was come from the slaughter of the Edomites, that he brought the gods of the children of Seir, and set them up to be his gods, and bowed down himself before them, and burned incense unto them.
15 Lakòlè Bondye te brile kont Amatsia, e Li te voye pwofèt Li ki te di l: “Poukisa ou te swiv dye a pèp sa a, ki pa t kab delivre pwòp pèp pa yo nan men ou?”
Wherefore the anger of Jehovah was kindled against Amaziah, and he sent unto him a prophet, who said unto him, Why hast thou sought after the gods of the people, which have not delivered their own people out of thy hand?
16 Pandan li t ap pale avèk li, wa a te di li: “Èske nou te chwazi ou menm kòm konseye wayal? Rete! Poukisa w ap chache mouri?” Epi pwofèt la te rete. Li te di: “Mwen konnen ke Bondye deja fè plan pou detwi ou, paske ou te fè bagay sa a e pa t koute konsèy mwen.”
And it came to pass, as he talked with him, that [the king] said unto him, Have we made thee of the king’s counsel? forbear; why shouldest thou be smitten? Then the prophet forbare, and said, I know that God hath determined to destroy thee, because thou hast done this, and hast not hearkened unto my counsel.
17 Alò, Amatsia, wa Juda a te pran konsèy moun pa l. Li te voye kote Joas, fis a Joachaz la, fis a Jéhu a, wa Israël la. Li te di l: “Vini, annou parèt fasafas.”
Then Amaziah king of Judah took advice, and sent to Joash, the son of Jehoahaz the son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, Come, let us look one another in the face.
18 Joas, wa Israël la te voye kote Amatsia, wa Juda a. Li te di: “Bwa pikan ki te Liban an te voye kote bwa sèd ki te Liban an, e te di: ‘Bay fi ou a fis mwen nan maryaj.’ Men yon bèt sovaj nan Liban te pase akote e te foule bwa pikan an.
And Joash king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, The thistle that was in Lebanon sent to the cedar that was in Lebanon, saying, Give thy daughter to my son to wife: and there passed by a wild beast that was in Lebanon, and trod down the thistle.
19 Ou di nan tèt ou: ‘Gade byen, mwen te bat Édom.’ Konsa kè ou vin plen ak ògèy e anfle. Alò, rete lakay ou! Poukisa ou ta pwovoke twoub pou tèt ou, jiskaske ou menm, ou ta tonbe e Juda avèk ou?”
Thou sayest, Lo, thou hast smitten Edom; and thy heart lifteth thee up to boast: abide now at home; why shouldest thou meddle to [thy] hurt, that thou shouldest fall, even thou, and Judah with thee?
20 Men Amatsia pa t ap koute, paske sa te soti nan Bondye, ki ta livre yo nan men lèdmi yo, akoz yo te chache dye Édom yo.
But Amaziah would not hear; for it was of God, that he might deliver them into the hand [of their enemies], because they had sought after the gods of Edom.
21 Konsa Joas, wa Israël la te monte, e li menm avèk Amatsia, wa Juda a te fè fasafas nan Beth-Schémesch, ki te pou Juda a.
So Joash king of Israel went up; and he and Amaziah king of Judah looked one another in the face at Beth-shemesh, which belongeth to Judah.
22 Juda te bat pa Israël, e yo chak te kouri nan pwòp tant yo.
And Judah was put to the worse before Israel; and they fled every man to his tent.
23 Alò Joas, wa Israël la te kaptire Amatsia, wa Juda a, fis a Joas la, fis a Joachaz la, nan Beth-Schémesch. Li te mennen li Jérusalem, e li te chire miray Jérusalem nan soti nan Pòtay Éphraïm nan jis rive nan Pòtay Kwen an, kat-san koude nan longè.
And Joash king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Joash the son of Jehoahaz, at Beth-shemesh, and brought him to Jerusalem, and brake down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim unto the corner gate, four hundred cubits.
24 Li te pran tout lò avèk ajan ak tout zouti ki te twouve lakay Bondye a avèk Obed-Édom ak trezò lakay wa a, ansanm avèk prizonye yo, e te retounen Samarie.
And [he took] all the gold and silver, and all the vessels that were found in the house of God with Obed-edom, and the treasures of the king’s house, the hostages also, and returned to Samaria.
25 Epi Amatsia, fis a Joas la, wa Juda a, te viv kenzan apre lanmò Joas, fis a Joachaz la, wa Israël la.
And Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah lived after the death of Joash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel fifteen years.
26 Alò, tout lòt zèv a Amatsia yo, soti nan premye a jis rive nan dènye a, men gade, èske yo pa ekri nan Liv A Wa Juda Avèk Israël yo?
Now the rest of the acts of Amaziah, first and last, behold, are they not written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel?
27 Depi lè ke Amatsia te vire kite SENYÈ a, yo te fè konplo kont li Jérusalem, e li te sove ale Lakis, men yo te voye dèyè li Lakis e te touye li la.
Now from the time that Amaziah did turn away from following Jehovah they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem; and he fled to Lachish: but they sent after him to Lachish, and slew him there.
28 Konsa, yo te mennen li sou cheval e te antere li avèk zansèt li yo lavil Juda.
And they brought him upon horses, and buried him with his fathers in the city of Judah.
