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,
AHAZ was twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: but he did not that which was right in the sight of the Lord, like David his father:
2 men li te mache nan chemen a wa Israël yo. Anplis, li te fè imaj fonn pou Baal yo.
For he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and made also molten images 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.
Moreover he burnt incense in the valley of the son of Hinnom, and burnt his children in the fire, after the abominations of the heathen whom the Lord had cast out before 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.
Wherefore the Lord his God delivered him into the hand of the king of Syria; and they smote him, and carried away a great multitude of them captives, and brought them to Damascus. And he was also delivered into the hand of the king of Israel, who smote 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 Pekah the son of Remaliah slew in Judah an hundred and twenty thousand in one day, which were all valiant men; because they had forsaken the Lord 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.
And Zichri, a mighty man of Ephraim, slew Maaseiah the king’s son, and Azrikam the governor of the house, and Elkanah that 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 captive of their brethren two hundred thousand, women, sons, and daughters, and took also away much spoil from them, and brought the spoil 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.
But a prophet of the Lord was there, whose name was Oded: and he went out before the host that came to Samaria, and said unto them, Behold, because the Lord God of your fathers was wroth with Judah, he hath delivered them into your hand, and ye have slain them in a rage that reacheth up unto 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?
And now ye purpose to keep under the children of Judah and Jerusalem for bondmen and bondwomen unto you: but are there not with you, even with you, sins 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.”
Now hear me therefore, and deliver the captives again, which ye have taken captive of your brethren: for the fierce wrath of the Lord is upon 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 certain of the heads of the children of Ephraim, Azariah the son of Johanan, Berechiah the son of Meshillemoth, and Jehizkiah the son of Shallum, and Amasa the son of Hadlai, 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 said unto them, Ye shall not bring in the captives hither: for whereas we have offended against the Lord already, ye intend to add more to our sins and to our trespass: for our trespass is great, and there is fierce wrath against 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 armed men left the captives and the spoil before the princes and all the congregation.
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 which were expressed by name rose up, and took the captives, and with the spoil clothed all that were naked among them, and arrayed them, and shod them, and gave them to eat and to drink, and anointed them, and carried all the feeble of them upon asses, and brought them to Jericho, the city of palm trees, to their brethren: then they returned to Samaria.
16 Nan lè sa a, Wa Achaz te voye kote wa Asiryen yo pou jwenn soutyen.
At that time did king Ahaz send unto the kings of Assyria to help him.
17 Paske ankò, Edomit yo te vin atake Juda e te mennen yo sòti kaptif.
For again the Edomites had come and smitten Judah, and carried away captives.
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 had invaded the cities of the low country, and of the south of Judah, and had taken Beth-shemesh, and Ajalon, and Gederoth, and Shocho with the villages thereof, and Timnah with the villages thereof, Gimzo also and the villages thereof: and they dwelt there.
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 brought Judah low because of Ahaz king of Israel; for he made Judah naked, and transgressed sore against the Lord.
20 Pou sa, Tilgath-Piléser, wa Assyrie a te vini kont li, e te aflije li olye de ranfòse li.
And Tilgath-pilneser king of Assyria came unto him, and distressed him, but strengthened him not.
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.
For Ahaz took away a portion out of the house of the Lord, and out of the house of the king, and of the princes, and gave it unto the king of Assyria: but he helped him not.
22 Alò, nan tan gwo pwoblèm pa li, menm Wa Achaz sila a te vin peche plis devan SENYÈ a.
And in the time of his distress did he trespass yet more against the Lord: this is that king Ahaz.
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.
For he sacrificed unto the gods of Damascus, which smote him: and he said, Because the gods of the kings of Syria help them, therefore will I sacrifice to them, that they may help me. But 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.
And Ahaz gathered together the vessels of the house of God, and cut in pieces the vessels of the house of God, and shut up the doors of the house of the Lord, and he made him altars in every corner 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 every several city of Judah he made high places to burn incense unto other gods, and provoked to anger the Lord God of his fathers.
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.
Now the rest of his acts and of all his ways, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah 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 Ahaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city, even in Jerusalem: but they brought him not into the sepulchres of the kings of Israel: and Hezekiah his son reigned in his stead.
