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 [is] a son of twenty years in his reigning, and he has reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem, and he has not done that which is right in the eyes of YHWH, as his father David,
2 men li te mache nan chemen a wa Israël yo. Anplis, li te fè imaj fonn pou Baal yo.
and walks in the ways of the kings of Israel, and has also made molten images for Ba‘alim,
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.
and has made incense himself in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, and burns his sons with fire according to the abominations of the nations that YHWH dispossessed from the presence of the sons of Israel,
4 Li te fè sakrifis e te brile lansan sou wo plas yo, sou ti mòn yo e anba chak bwa vèt.
and sacrifices and makes incense in high places, and on the heights, 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 his God YHWH gives him into the hand of the king of Aram, and they strike him, and take captive a great captivity from him, and bring [them] to Damascus, and he has also been given into the hand of the king of Israel, and he strikes him [with] a great striking.
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.
And Pekah son of Remaliah slays one hundred and twenty thousand in Judah in one day (the whole [are] sons of valor), because of their forsaking YHWH, 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 one of Ephraim, slays Maaseiah son of the king, and Azrikam leader of the house, and Elkanah second 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 sons of Israel take captive of their brothers: two hundred thousand wives, sons, and daughters; and they have also seized much spoil from them, and they bring in 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.
And there has been a prophet of YHWH there (Oded [is] his name), and he goes out before the host that has come to Samaria, and says to them, “Behold, in the fury of YHWH, God of your fathers, against Judah, He has given them into your hand, and you slay among them in rage—it has come to the heavens;
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 you are saying to subdue sons of Judah and Jerusalem for menservants and for maidservants for yourselves; but are there not causes of guilt with you before your God YHWH?
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.”
And now, hear me, and send back the captives whom you have taken captive of your brothers, for the heat of the anger of YHWH [is] on 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.
And certain of the heads of the sons of Ephraim (Azariah son of Johanan, Berechiah son of Meshillemoth, and Jehizkiah son of Shallum, and Amasa son of Hadlai), rise up against those coming in from the host,
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 say to them, “You do not bring in the captives here, for guilt against YHWH [is already] on us, you are saying to add to our sin and to our guilt. For abundant [is] the guilt we have, and the fierceness of anger on 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.
And the armed men leave the captives and the prey before the heads and all the assembly;
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 who have been expressed by name rise and take hold on the captives, and they have clothed all their naked ones from the spoil, indeed, they clothe them, and shoe them, and cause them to eat and drink, and anoint them, and lead them on donkeys, even every feeble one, and bring them to Jericho, the city of palms, near their brothers, and return to Samaria.
16 Nan lè sa a, Wa Achaz te voye kote wa Asiryen yo pou jwenn soutyen.
At that time King Ahaz has sent to the king of Asshur to give help to him;
17 Paske ankò, Edomit yo te vin atake Juda e te mennen yo sòti kaptif.
and again the Edomites have come, and strike in Judah, and take captive a captivity.
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.
And the Philistines have rushed against the cities of the low country, and of the south of Judah, and capture Beth-Shemesh, and Aijalon, and Gederoth, and Shocho and its villages, and Timnah and its villages, and Gimzo and its villages, and dwell 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 YHWH has humbled Judah because of Ahaz king of Israel, for he made free with Judah, even to commit a trespass against YHWH.
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 Asshur comes to him, and does distress him, and has not strengthened him,
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.
though Ahaz has taken a portion [out] of the house of YHWH, and [out] of the house of the king, and of the princes, and gives to the king of Asshur, yet it is no help to him.
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—he adds to trespass against YHWH (this 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.
and he sacrifices to the gods of Damascus [which were] those striking him, and says, “Because the gods of the kings of Aram are helping them, I sacrifice to them, and they help me,” and they have been to him to cause him to stumble, and to 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 gathers the vessels of the house of God, and cuts in pieces the vessels of the house of God, and shuts the doors of the house of YHWH, and makes altars for himself in every corner in 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 each and every city of Judah he has made high places to make incense to other gods, and provokes YHWH, 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.
And the rest of his matters, and all his ways, the first and the last, behold, they are written on the scroll 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 lies with his fathers, and they bury him in the city, in Jerusalem, but have not brought him to the graves of the kings of Israel, and his son Hezekiah reigns in his stead.
