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 sight of the LORD, 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 to 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 slew not their children, but did as it is written in the law in the book of Moses, where the LORD 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 made them captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, according to the houses of their fathers, throughout all Judah and Benjamin: and he numbered them from twenty years old and above, and found them three hundred thousand choice 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 an hundred thousand mighty men of valor out of Israel for an 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 you; for the LORD 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 you will go, do it; be strong for the battle: God shall make you fall before the enemy: for God has 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, The LORD is able to give you 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: why their anger was greatly kindled against Judah, and they returned home in great 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 strengthened himself, 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 left alive did the children of Judah carry away captive, and brought them to the top of the rock, and cast them down from the top of the rock, that they all were 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 soldiers of the army which Amaziah sent back, that they should not go with him to battle, fell on the cities of Judah, from Samaria even to Bethhoron, and smote three thousand of them, 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 to 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?”
Why the anger of the LORD was kindled against Amaziah, and he sent to him a prophet, which said to him, Why have you sought after the gods of the people, which could not deliver their own people out of your 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 to him, Are you made of the king’s counsel? forbear; why should you be smitten? Then the prophet declined, and said, I know that God has determined to destroy you, because you have done this, and have not listened to 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 see 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 your daughter to my son to wife: and there passed by a wild beast that was in Lebanon, and stepped 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?”
You say, See, you have smitten the Edomites; and your heart lifts you up to boast: abide now at home; why should you meddle to your hurt, that you should fall, even you, and Judah with you?
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 came of God, that he might deliver them into the hand of their enemies, because they 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 the king of Israel went up; and they saw one another in the face, both he and Amaziah king of Judah, at Bethshemesh, which belongs 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 the king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, at Bethshemesh, and brought him to Jerusalem, and broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim to 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 the silver, and all the vessels that were found in the house of God with Obededom, 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 after the time that Amaziah did turn away from following the LORD they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem; and he fled to Lachish: but they sent to Lachish after him, 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 on horses, and buried him with his fathers in the city of Judah.
