2 Istwa 28
1 Achaz te gen laj a ventan lè l te devni wa e li te renye sèzan Jérusalem. Li pa t fè sa ki bon nan zye SENYÈ a, jan David, papa zansèt li a, te konn fè a,
Achaz was twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: he did not that which was right in the sight of the Lord as David his father had done,
2 men li te mache nan chemen a wa Israël yo. Anplis, li te fè imaj fonn pou Baal yo.
But walked in the ways of the kings of Israel; moreover also he cast statues for Baalim.
3 Li te brile lansan nan vale Ben-Hinnon e li te brile fis li yo nan dife, selon abominasyon a nasyon ke SENYÈ a te chase mete deyò devan fis Israël yo.
It was he that burnt incense in the valley of Benennom, and consecrated his sons in the fire according to the manner of the nations, which the Lord slew at the coming of the children of Israel.
4 Li te fè sakrifis e te brile lansan sou wo plas yo, sou ti mòn yo e anba chak bwa vèt.
He sacrificed also, and burnt incense in the high places, and on the hills, and under every green tree.
5 Pou sa, SENYÈ a, Bondye li a, te livre li nan men a wa Syrie. Konsa, yo te bat li e te pote ale de li yon gran kantite kaptif pou te fè yo rive Damas. Li te anplis livre nan men a wa Israël la ki te aflije li avèk anpil moun mouri.
And the Lord his God delivered him into the hands of the king of Syria, who defeated him, and took a great booty out of his kingdom, and carried it to Damascus: he was also delivered into the hands of the king of Israel, who overthrew him with a great slaughter.
6 Paske Pékach, fis Remalia a, te touye nan Juda, pandan yon sèl jou, san-ven-mil òm, tout mesye ki plen kouraj yo, akoz yo te abandone SENYÈ a, Bondye a papa zansèt yo.
For Phacee the son of Romelia slew of Juda a hundred and twenty thousand in one day, all valiant men: because they had forsaken the Lord the God of their fathers.
7 Epi Zicri yon nonm pwisan nan Éphraïm, te touye Maaséja, fis a wa a avèk Azrikam, chèf a kay wayal la, e Elkana, dezyèm apre wa a.
At the same time Zechri a powerful man of Ephraim, slew Maasias the king’s son, and Ezricam the governor of his house, and Elcana who was next to the king.
8 Fis Israël yo te pote ale an kaptivite pami frè yo de-san-mil fanm Judah, fis ak fi. Anplis yo te pran anpil piyaj ki sòti nan yo, e te mennen piyaj la Samarie.
And the children of Israel carried away of their brethren two hundred thousand women, boys, and girls, and an immense booty: and they brought it to Samaria.
9 Men yon pwofèt SENYÈ a ki te rele Oded te la. Li te sòti deyò pou rankontre lame ki te vini Samarie a e li te di yo: “Gade byen, paske SENYÈ a zansèt ou yo te fache avèk Juda, Li te livre yo nan men nou, e nou te touye yo ak gwo laraj ki te rive jis nan syèl la.
At that time there was a prophet of the Lord there, whose name was Oded: and he went out to meet the army that came to Samaria, and said to them: Behold the Lord the God of your fathers being angry with Juda, hath delivered them into your hands, and you have butchered them cruelly, so that your cruelty hath reached up to heaven.
10 Alò, nou ap pwopoze pou fè pou kont nou, pèp a Juda avèk Jérusalem yo vin soumèt kòm esklav mal ak femèl. Anverite, èske nou menm pa gen transgresyon pou kont nou kont SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an?
Moreover you have a mind to keep under the children of Juda and Jerusalem for your bondmen and bondwomen, which ought not to be done: for you have sinned in this against the Lord your God.
11 Alò, pou sa, koute mwen e remèt kaptif ke nou te fè prizonye pami frè nou yo, paske kòlè SENYÈ a byen cho kont nou.”
But hear ye my counsel, and release the captives that you have brought of your brethren, because a great indignation of the Lord hangeth over you.
12 Alò, kèk nan chèf a fis Éphraïm yo——Azaria, fis a Jochanan nan, Bérékia, fis a Meschillémoth la, Ézéchias, fis a Schallum nan e Amasa, fis a Hadlaï a——te leve kont sila ki t ap retounen soti nan batay la.
Then some of the chief men of the sons of Ephraim, Azarias the son of Johanan, Barachias the son of Mosollamoth, Ezechias the son of Sellum, and Amasa the son of Adali, stood up against them that came from the war.
13 Yo te di yo: “Fòk nou pa mennen kaptif yo anndan isit la, paske nou ap tante mennen sou nou koupabilite kont SENYÈ a, ki va ogmante peche nou avèk koupabilite nou. Paske koupabilite nou vin tèlman gran ke kòlè Li vin kont Israël.”
And they said to them: You shall not bring in the captives hither, lest we sin against the Lord. Why will you add to our sins, and heap up upon our former offences? for the sin is great, and the fierce anger of the Lord hangeth over Israel.
14 Pou sa, mesye ki t ap pote zam yo te kite kaptif yo avèk piyaj la devan ofisye yo avèk tout asanble a.
So the soldiers left the spoils, and all that they had taken, before the princes and all the multitude.
15 Epi mesye ki te chwazi pa non yo te leve, pran kaptif yo, yo te mete rad ki sòti nan piyaj la sou sila ki te toutouni yo. Yo te bay yo rad avèk sandal, yo te bay yo manje e te bay yo bwè, e yo te onksyone yo avèk lwil. Yo te mennen tout sila ki te fèb yo sou bourik e te fè yo rive Jéricho, vil palmis yo, kote frè yo. Konsa, yo te retounen Samarie.
And the men, whom we mentioned above, rose up and took the captives, and with the spoils clothed all them that were naked: and when they had clothed and shed them, and refreshed them with meat and drink, and anointed them because of their labour, and had taken care of them, they set such of them as could not walk, and were feeble, upon beasts, and brought them to Jericho the city of palm trees to their brethren, and they returned to Samaria.
16 Nan lè sa a, Wa Achaz te voye kote wa Asiryen yo pou jwenn soutyen.
At that time king Achaz sent to the king of the Assyrians asking help.
17 Paske ankò, Edomit yo te vin atake Juda e te mennen yo sòti kaptif.
And the Edomites came and slew many of Juda, and took a great booty.
18 Filisten yo osi te atake vil nan ba plèn yo avèk Negev nan Juda e te pran Beth-Schémesch, Ajalon, Guedéroth, Soco avèk vil pa li yo, Thimna avèk vil pa li yo e Guimzo avèk vil pa li yo, epi yo te vin abite la.
The Philistines also spread themselves among the cities of the plains, and to the south of Juda: and they took Bethsames, and Aialon, and Gaderoth, and Socho, and Thamnan, and Gamzo, with their villages, and they dwelt in them.
19 Paske SENYÈ a te imilye Juda akoz Achaz, wa Israël la. Paske li te fè rive yon mank de lòd nan Juda e te manke fidèl anpil a SENYÈ a.
For the Lord had humbled Juda because of Achaz the king of Juda, for he had stripped it of help, and had contemned the Lord.
20 Pou sa, Tilgath-Piléser, wa Assyrie a te vini kont li, e te aflije li olye de ranfòse li.
And he brought, against him Thelgathphalnasar king of the Assyrians, who also afflicted him, and plundered him without any resistance.
21 Sepandan, Achaz te pran yon pòsyon sòti nan kay SENYÈ a e sòti nan palè wa a ak chèf yo pou te bay li a wa Assyrie a, men sa pa t ede li.
And Achaz stripped the house of the Lord, and the house of the kings, and of the princes, and gave gifts to the king of the Assyrians, and yet it availed him nothing.
22 Alò, nan tan gwo pwoblèm pa li, menm Wa Achaz sila a te vin peche plis devan SENYÈ a.
Moreover also in the time of his distress he increased contempt against the Lord: king Achaz himself by himself,
23 Paske li te fè sakrifis a lòt dye Damas yo ki te bat li yo. Li te di: “Akoz dye a wa Syrie yo te ede yo, mwen va fè sakrifis de yo pou yo kab ede mwen.” Men yo te koze chit li avèk tout Israël.
Sacrificed victims to the gods of Damascus that struck him, and he said: The gods of the kings of Syria help them, and I will appease them with victims, and they will help me; whereas on the contrary they were the ruin of him, and of all Israel.
24 Anplis, lè Achaz te ranmase ansanm tout zouti lakay Bondye yo, li te koupe tout zouti yo an mòso. Li te fèmen pòt lakay SENYÈ a, e te fè lotèl pou li nan chak kwen nan Jérusalem.
Then Achaz having taken away all the vessels of the house of God, and broken them, shut up the doors of the temple of God, and made himself altars in all the corners of Jerusalem.
25 Nan chak vil nan Juda, li te fè wo plas pou brile lansan a lòt dye yo, e li te pwovoke SENYÈ a, Bondye a papa zansèt li yo, a lakòlè.
And in all the cities of Juda he built altars to burn frankincense, and he provoked the Lord the God of his fathers to wrath.
26 Alò, tout lòt zèv avèk chemen li yo, soti nan premye a jis rive nan dènye a, men gade byen, yo ekri nan Liv A Wa A Juda yo Avèk Israël yo.
But the rest of his acts, and all his works first and last are written in the book of the kings of Juda and Israel.
27 Konsa, Achaz te dòmi avèk papa zansèt li yo, e yo te antere li nan vil Jérusalem nan; paske yo pa t mennen li antre nan tonm a wa Israël yo. Epi Ézéchias, fis li a, te renye nan plas li.
And Achaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of Jerusalem: for they received him not into the sepulchres of the kings of Israel. And Ezechias his son reigned in his stead.
