2 Wa 13
1 Nan venn-twazyèm ane a Joas la, fis a Achazia a, wa Juda a, te devni wa sou Israël nan Samarie, e li te renye pandan di-setan.
In the twenty-third year of Joash the son of Ahaziah, king of Judah, Jehoahaz the son of Jehu began to reign over Israel in Samaria for seventeen years.
2 Li te fè mal nan zye a SENYÈ a e li te swiv peche a Jéroboam yo, fis a Nebath la, avèk sila li te fè Israël peche yo. Li pa t vire kite yo menm.
He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, and followed the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin. He did not depart from it.
3 Akoz sa, lakòlè SENYÈ a te limen kont Israël, e Li te livre yo nan men a Hazaël, wa Syrie a ak nan men a Ben-Hadad, fis a Hazaël la.
The LORD’s anger burned against Israel, and he delivered them into the hand of Hazael king of Syria, and into the hand of Benhadad the son of Hazael, continually.
4 Alò, Joachaz te sipliye SENYÈ a pou fè li favè, e SENYÈ a te koute li; paske Li te wè opresyon Israël la, jan Syrie t ap oprime yo.
Jehoahaz begged the LORD, and the LORD listened to him; for he saw the oppression of Israel, how the king of Syria oppressed them.
5 SENYÈ a te bay Israël yon liberatè. Konsa, yo te chape anba men Siryen yo. Konsa, fis Israël yo te viv nan tant yo, kòm oparavan.
(The LORD gave Israel a savior, so that they went out from under the hand of the Syrians; and the children of Israel lived in their tents as before.
6 Sepandan, yo pa t vire kite peche lakay Jéroboam yo, avèk sila li te fè Israël peche yo, men li te mache nan yo; epi zidòl Astarté a te toujou kanpe Samarie.
Nevertheless they did not depart from the sins of the house of Jeroboam, with which he made Israel to sin, but walked in them; and the Asherah also remained in Samaria.)
7 Pou sa, Li te kite pou Joachaz yon lame ki pa t plis ke senkant chevalye avèk dis cha e di-mil sòlda apye; paske wa Syrie a te detwi yo e te fè yo vin tankou pousyè vannen.
For he did not leave to Jehoahaz of the people any more than fifty horsemen, and ten chariots, and ten thousand footmen; for the king of Syria destroyed them and made them like the dust in threshing.
8 Alò tout lòt zèv a Joachaz yo, avèk tout sa li te fè ak pouvwa li, èske yo pa ekri nan Liv La A Kwonik Yo A Wa Israël Yo?
Now the rest of the acts of Jehoahaz, and all that he did, and his might, are not they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
9 Epi Joachaz te dòmi avèk zansèt li yo, e yo te antere li Samarie. Epi Joas, fis li a, te renye nan plas li.
Jehoahaz slept with his fathers; and they buried him in Samaria; and Joash his son reigned in his place.
10 Nan trann-setyèm ane a Joas, wa Juda a, Joas, fis a Joachaz la te devni wa sou Israël Samarie e te renye pandan sèzan.
In the thirty-seventh year of Joash king of Judah, Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz began to reign over Israel in Samaria for sixteen years.
11 Li te fè mal nan zye SENYÈ a; li pa t vire kite tout peche a Jéroboam yo, fis a Nebath la, avèk sila li te fè Israël peche yo; men li te mache ladan yo.
He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight. He did not depart from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin; but he walked in them.
12 Alò, tout lòt zèv a Joas yo avèk tout sa ke li te fè ak pouvwa li, avèk sila li te goumen kont Amatsia, wa Juda a, èske yo pa ekri nan Liv A Kwonik A Wa Israël Yo?
Now the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, and his might with which he fought against Amaziah king of Judah, are not they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
13 Konsa, Joas te dòmi avèk zansèt li yo e Jéroboam te chita sou twòn li an. Epi Joas te antere Samarie avèk wa Israël yo.
Joash slept with his fathers; and Jeroboam sat on his throne. Joash was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel.
14 Lè Élisée te vin malad avèk maladi ki te pran lavi li a, Joas, wa Israël la, te desann kote li, e te kriye sou li e te di: “Papa mwen, O Papa mwen, men cha Israël yo avèk chevalye li yo!”
Now Elisha became sick with the illness of which he died; and Joash the king of Israel came down to him, and wept over him, and said, “My father, my father, the chariots of Israel and its horsemen!”
15 Élisée te di li: “Pran yon banza avèk flèch.” Konsa, li te pran yon Banza avèk flèch.
Elisha said to him, “Take bow and arrows;” and he took bow and arrows for himself.
16 Alò, li te di a wa Israël la: “Mete men ou sou banza a.” Epi li te mete men l sou li e Élisée te mete men l sou men wa a.
He said to the king of Israel, “Put your hand on the bow;” and he put his hand on it. Elisha laid his hands on the king’s hands.
17 Li te di: “Ouvri fenèt la vè lès!” Epi li te ouvri li. Alò, Élisée te di: “Tire!” Epi li te tire. Epi li te di: “Flèch viktwa SENYÈ a, menm flèch viktwa sou Syrie a; paske ou va bat Siryen yo nan Aphek jiskaske ou fin detwi yo.”
He said, “Open the window eastward;” and he opened it. Then Elisha said, “Shoot!” and he shot. He said, “The LORD’s arrow of victory, even the arrow of victory over Syria; for you will strike the Syrians in Aphek until you have consumed them.”
18 Epi li te di: “Pran flèch yo!” Epi li te pran yo. Li te di a wa Israël la: “Frape tè a!” Epi li te frape li twa fwa e te sispann.
He said, “Take the arrows;” and he took them. He said to the king of Israel, “Strike the ground;” and he struck three times, and stopped.
19 Pou sa, nonm Bondye a te fache avèk li e te di: “Ou te dwe frape l senk oswa sis fwa; epi konsa, ou t ap frape Syrie jiskaske ou fin detwi li. Men koulye a, se sèlman twa fwa ke ou va frape Syrie.”
The man of God was angry with him, and said, “You should have struck five or six times. Then you would have struck Syria until you had consumed it, but now you will strike Syria just three times.”
20 Élisée te mouri e yo te antere li. Alò, bann Moabit yo te fè envazyon teritwa a nan sezon prentan ane sila a.
Elisha died, and they buried him. Now the bands of the Moabites invaded the land at the coming in of the year.
21 Pandan yo t ap antere yon mesye, men vwala, yo te wè yon bann piyajè; epi yo te jete mesye a nan tonm Élisée a. Epi lè mesye a te touche zo Élisée yo, li te resisite e te kanpe sou pye l.
As they were burying a man, behold, they saw a band of raiders; and they threw the man into Elisha’s tomb. As soon as the man touched Elisha’s bones, he revived, and stood up on his feet.
22 Alò Hazaël, wa Syrie a, te oprime Israël pandan tout jou a Joachaz yo.
Hazael king of Syria oppressed Israel all the days of Jehoahaz.
23 Men SENYÈ a te fè yo gras, Li te gen mizerikòd pou yo, Li te vire kote yo akoz akò ke li te gen avèk Abraham, Isaac, avèk Jacob la e Li pa t detwi yo ni jete yo deyò prezans li jis rive nan moman sa a.
But the LORD was gracious to them, and had compassion on them, and favored them because of his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and would not destroy them and he did not cast them from his presence as yet.
24 Lè Hazaël, wa Syrie a te mouri, Ben-Hadad, fis li a, te devni wa nan plas li.
Hazael king of Syria died; and Benhadad his son reigned in his place.
25 Epi Joas, fis a Joachaz la, te reprann vil yo soti nan men a Ben-Hadad, fis Hazaël la, vil ke papa li te pran nan lagè soti nan men a Joachaz yo, papa li a. Twa fwa Joas te bat li e te reprann vil yo ki te pou Israël yo.
Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz took again out of the hand of Benhadad the son of Hazael the cities which he had taken out of the hand of Jehoahaz his father by war. Joash struck him three times, and recovered the cities of Israel.
