2 Istwa 32
1 Apre zak fidelite sila yo, Sanchérib, wa Assyrie a, te vin atake Juda. Li te fè syèj a tout vil fòtifye yo, e li te fè plan pou pouse antre nan yo pou l domine yo pou kont li.
After these things and this truth, Sennacherib king of Asshur has come, indeed, he comes to Judah, and encamps against the cities of the bulwarks, and says to break into them himself.
2 Alò, lè Ézéchias te wè ke Sanchérib te vini, e ke li te gen plan pou fè lagè sou Jérusalem,
And Hezekiah sees that Sennacherib has come, and his face [is] to the battle against Jerusalem,
3 li te deside avèk ofisye pa li yo ak gèrye pa li yo, pou koupe kouran dlo ki te ale deyò lavil la, e yo te ede li.
and he takes counsel with his heads and his mighty ones, to stop the waters of the fountains that [are] at the outside of the city—and they help him,
4 Pou sa, anpil moun te rasanble e te bouche tout sous avèk flèv ki te kouri nan zòn nan. Konsa, yo te di: “Poukisa wa Asiryen yo ta dwe vini pou jwenn tout dlo sa a?”
and many people are gathered, and they stop all the fountains and the brook that is rushing into the midst of the land, saying, “Why do the kings of Asshur come, and have found much water?”
5 Konsa, li te pran kouraj, e te rebati tout mi ki te kraze yo e te fè yo monte nan nivo tou li yo. Li te ranfòse lòt miray pa deyò pou te fè Millo lavil David la pi solid, e li te fè zam avèk boukliye defans an gran kantite.
And he strengthens himself, and builds the whole of the wall that is broken, and causes [it] to ascend to the towers, and at the outside of the wall [builds] another, and strengthens Millo [in] the City of David, and makes darts in abundance, and shields.
6 Li te chwazi chèf militè sou pèp la, e te rasanble yo kote li nan plas kote pòtay vil la. Li te pale pawòl ki pou ankouraje yo. Li te di:
And he puts heads of war over the people, and gathers them to him, to the broad place of a gate of the city, and speaks to their heart, saying,
7 “Rete fò e pran kouraj, pa pè ni dekouraje akoz wa Assyrie a, ni tout gran foul ki avèk l; paske sila ki avèk nou an pi gran ke sila ki avè l.
“Be strong and courageous, do not be afraid, nor be cast down from the face of the king of Asshur, and from the face of all the multitude that [is] with him, for with us [are] more than with him.
8 Avèk li menm, se yon bra fèt an chè; men avèk nou, se SENYÈ Bondye pa nou an, pou ede nou goumen nan batay nou yo.” Konsa, pèp la te konte sou pawòl a Ézéchias yo, wa Juda a.
With him [is] an arm of flesh, but with us [is] our God YHWH to help us and to fight our battles”; and the people are supported by the words of Hezekiah king of Judah.
9 Apre sa Sanchérib, wa Assyrie a, te voye sèvitè li yo Jérusalem pandan li t ap fè syèj Lakis avèk tout lame li a avèk li kont Ézéchias, wa Juda a, e kont tout Juda ki Jérusalem yo. Li te di:
After this Sennacherib king of Asshur has sent his servants to Jerusalem—and he [is] by Lachish, and all his power with him—against Hezekiah king of Judah and against all Judah who [are] in Jerusalem, saying,
10 Konsa pale Sanchérib, wa Assyrie a: “Sou kilès n ap mete konfyans pou nou ta retire Jérusalem anba syèj?
“Thus said Sennacherib king of Asshur: On what are you trusting and abiding in the bulwark in Jerusalem?
11 Èske Ézéchias p ap egare nou pou fè nou vin mouri avèk grangou ak swaf, pandan l ap di: ‘SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, va delivre nou soti nan men a wa Assyrie a?’
Is Hezekiah not persuading you to give you up to die by famine and by thirst, saying, Our God YHWH delivers us from the hand of the king of Asshur?
12 Èske menm Ézéchias sa a pa t retire wo plas Li yo avèk lotèl Li yo, e te di a Juda avèk Jérusalem: ‘Nou va adore devan yon sèl lotèl e sou li, nou va brile lansan?’
Has Hezekiah himself not turned aside His high places and His altars, and speaks to Judah and to Jerusalem, saying, You bow yourselves before one altar and you make incense on it?
13 Èske nou pa konnen sa mwen avèk zansèt mwen yo te fè a tout pèp nan lòt peyi yo? Èske dye nan nasyon yo te gen kapasite menm pou delivre peyi yo anba men mwen?
Do you not know what I have done—I and my fathers—to all peoples of the lands? Were the gods of the nations of the lands at all able to deliver their land out of my hand?
14 Kilès ki te gen pami tout dye a nasyon sila yo ke zansèt mwen yo pa t detwi nèt, ki ta kapab delivre pèp li a sòti nan men m pou Dye pa w la ta kapab delivre ou soti nan men m?
Who among all the gods of these nations whom my fathers have devoted to destruction [is] he who has been able to deliver his people out of my hand, that your God is able to deliver you out of my hand?
15 Alò, pou sa, pa kite Ézéchias pase nou nan tenten, ni egare nou konsa. Ni pa kwè li, paske pa t gen dye nan okenn nasyon oswa wayòm ki te konn delivre pèp li nan men m ni soti nan men a zansèt mwen yo. Konbyen an mwens Dye pa nou an va delivre nou soti nan men m?”
And now, do not let Hezekiah lift you up, nor persuade you thus, nor give credence to him, for no god of any nation and kingdom is able to deliver his people from my hand and from the hand of my fathers: also, surely your God does not deliver you from my hand!”
16 Sèvitè li yo te pale plis kont SENYÈ a, Bondye a, e kont sèvitè li a, Ézéchias.
And again his servants have spoken against YHWH God and against His servant Hezekiah,
17 Anplis, li te ekri lèt yo pou meprize SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la, e pou pale kont Li, epi li te di: “Jan dye nasyon yo ak peyi yo pa t delivre pèp pa yo soti nan men m, konsa Bondye Ézéchias la p ap delivre pèp Li a soti nan men m.”
and he has written letters to give reproach to YHWH, God of Israel, and to speak against Him, saying, “As the gods of the nations of the lands that have not delivered their people from my hand, so the God of Hezekiah does not deliver His people from my hand.”
18 Yo te kriye sa byen fò ak gwo vwa nan langaj a Juda, vè pèp Jérusalem ki te sou miray la, pou fè yo pè e teworize yo, pou yo ta kab pran vil la.
And they call with a great voice [in] Jewish against the people of Jerusalem who [are] on the wall, to frighten them and to trouble them, that they may capture the city,
19 Yo te pale sou Bondye Jérusalem nan kòmsi se youn nan dye a pèp lemond yo, zèv a men de lòm yo.
and they speak against the God of Jerusalem as against the gods of the peoples of the land—work of the hands of man.
20 Men Wa Ézéchias avèk pwofèt Ésaïe, fis a Amots la, te fè lapriyè sou sa a, e te kriye fò anvè syèl la.
And Hezekiah the king prays, and Isaiah son of Amoz the prophet, concerning this, and they cry to the heavens,
21 Konsa, SENYÈ a te voye yon zanj ki te detwi tout gwo gèrye, kòmandan ak chèf nan kan wa Assyrie a. Pou sa, li te retounen nan wont li ale nan pwòp peyi li. Epi lè li te antre nan tanp dye pa li a, kèk nan pwòp pitit pa li yo te touye li la avèk nepe.
and YHWH sends a messenger and cuts off every mighty man of valor—both leader and head—in the camp of the king of Asshur, and he turns back with shame of face to his land and enters the house of his god, and those coming out of his bowels have caused him to fall there by the sword.
22 Konsa, SENYÈ a te sove Ézéchias avèk moun Jérusalem yo soti nan men a Sanchérib, wa Assyrie a, soti nan men a tout ènmi li yo, e te gide yo tout kote.
And YHWH saves Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib king of Asshur and from the hand of all, and He leads them around;
23 Epi anpil moun t ap pote don bay SENYÈ a Jérusalem ak kado byen chwazi a Ézéchias, wa Juda a, jis apre, li te fin egzalte nan men a tout nasyon yo.
and many are bringing in an offering to YHWH, to Jerusalem, and precious things to Hezekiah king of Judah, and he is lifted up before the eyes of all the nations after this.
24 Nan jou sa yo, Ézéchias te vin malad jis rive pre lanmò. Li te priye a SENYÈ a. SENYÈ a te pale avèk li e te ba li yon sign.
In those days Hezekiah has been sick even to death, and he prays to YHWH, and He speaks to him and has appointed a wonder for him;
25 Men Ézéchias pa t remèt anyen pou benefis li te resevwa a, paske kè li te plen ògèy. Akoz sa, kòlè SENYÈ a te vini sou li avèk Juda ak Jérusalem.
and Hezekiah has not returned according to the deed [done] to him, for his heart has been lofty, and there is wrath on him and on Judah and Jerusalem;
26 Men Ézéchias te vin desann ògèy kè li a, ni li menm, ni pèp Jérusalem nan, jiskaske kòlè pa t rive sou yo pandan jou a Ézéchias yo.
and Hezekiah is humbled for the loftiness of his heart, he and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and the wrath of YHWH has not come on them in the days of Hezekiah.
27 Alò, Ézéchias te gen anpil richès avèk onè. Li te fè pou kont li trezò an ajan, lò, pyè presye, epis, boukliye defans ak tout kalite bagay ak gwo valè,
And Hezekiah has very much riches and honor, and he has made treasures for himself of silver, and of gold, and of precious stone, and of spices, and of shields, and of all [kinds] of desirable vessels,
28 anplis, depo pou konsève sereyal, diven avèk lwil, pak pou tout kalite bèt, avèk pak pou bann yo.
and storehouses for the increase of grain, and new wine, and oil, and stalls for all kinds of livestock, and herds for stalls;
29 Li te fè vil pou li menm, e te vin genyen bann mouton avèk twoupo an gran kantite, paske Bondye te ba li anpil richès.
and he has made cities for himself, and possessions of flocks and herds in abundance, for God has given very much substance to him.
30 Se te Ézéchias ki te bouche sous piwo dlo Guihon yo, e te dirije yo rive nan pati lwès lavil David la. Ézéchias te byen reyisi nan tout sa li te fè.
And Hezekiah himself has stopped the upper source of the waters of Gihon, and directs them beneath to the west of the City of David, and Hezekiah prospers in all his work;
31 Men nan afè mesaje ki sòti Babylone yo, ki te voye bò kote li pou aprann tout mèvèy ki te fèt nan peyi a, Bondye te kite li, pou L ta ka pase l nan eprèv pou wè tout sa ki te nan kè l.
and so with the ambassadors of the heads of Babylon, those sending to him to inquire of the wonder that has been in the land, God has left him to try him, to know all in his heart.
32 Alò, tout lòt zèv Ézéchias yo avèk zèv fidèl li yo, vwala, yo ekri nan vizyon Ésaïe, pwofèt la, fis a Amots la, nan Liv A Wa Juda Avèk Israël Yo.
And the rest of the matters of Hezekiah and his kind acts, behold, they are written in the vision of Isaiah son of Amoz the prophet, on the scroll of the kings of Judah and Israel.
33 Konsa, Ézéchias te dòmi avèk papa zansèt li yo, e yo te antere li nan chemen an ki monte kote tonm fis a David yo. Tout Juda avèk pèp Jérusalem nan te onore li nan lanmò li. Fis li a, Manassé te devni wa nan plas li.
And Hezekiah lies with his fathers, and they bury him in the highest of the graves of the sons of David, and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem have done honor to him at his death, and his son Manasseh reigns in his stead.
