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 Jehoash, the son of Ahaziah, the king of Judah, Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, reigned 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.

And he did evil before the Lord. And he followed the sins of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin. And he did not turn aside from these.

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.

And the fury of the Lord was enraged against Israel, and he delivered them into the hand of Hazael, the king of Syria, and into the hand of Benhadad, the son of Hazael, during all the days.

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.

But Jehoahaz petitioned the face of the Lord, and the Lord heeded him. For he saw the anguish of Israel, because the king of Syria had 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.

And the Lord gave a savior to Israel. And they were freed from the hand of the king of Syria. And the sons of Israel lived in their tabernacles, just as yesterday and the day 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.

Yet truly, they did not withdraw from the sins of the house of Jeroboam, who had caused Israel to sin. Instead, they walked by them. And there was even a sacred grove still remaining 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.

And there was left to Jehoahaz from the people nothing but fifty horsemen, and ten chariots, and ten thousand foot soldiers. For the king of Syria had killed them, and he had reduced them to become like dust on a threshing floor.

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?

But the rest of the words of Jehoahaz, and all that he did, and his strength, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days 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.

And 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 Jehoash, the king of Judah, Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, reigned 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.

And he did what is evil in the sight of the Lord. He did not turn aside from all the sins of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin. Instead, he walked by 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?

But the rest of the words of Joash, and all that he did, and his strength, the manner in which he fought against Amaziah, the king of Judah, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days 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.

And Joash slept with his fathers. Then Jeroboam sat upon his throne. And 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 was sick of the infirmity from which he also died. And Joash, the king of Israel, descended to him. And he was weeping before him, and saying: “My father, my father! The chariot of Israel and its driver!”

15 Élisée te di li: “Pran yon banza avèk flèch.” Konsa, li te pran yon Banza avèk flèch.

And Elisha said to him, “Bring a bow and arrows.” And when he had brought a bow and arrows to him,

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, “Place your hand upon the bow.” And when he had placed his hand, Elisha placed his own hands over the hands of the king.

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.”

And he said, “Open the window toward the east.” And when he had opened it, Elisha said, “Shoot an arrow.” And he shot it. And Elisha said: “It is the arrow of the salvation of the Lord, and the arrow of salvation against Syria. And you shall strike the Syrians at Aphek, until you consume 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.

And he said, “Take the arrows.” And when he had taken them, he then said to him, “Strike an arrow against the ground.” And when he had struck three times, and he had stood still,

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 became angry against him. And he said: “If you had struck five or six or seven times, you would have struck down Syria, even until it was consumed. But now you will strike it 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.

Then Elisha died, and they buried him. And the robbers from Moab came into the land in the same 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.

But certain ones who were burying a man saw the robbers, and they cast the dead body into the sepulcher of Elisha. But when it had touched the bones of Elisha, the man revived, and he stood upon his feet.

22 Alò Hazaël, wa Syrie a, te oprime Israël pandan tout jou a Joachaz yo.

Now Hazael, the king of Syria, afflicted Israel during 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 took pity on them, and he returned to them, because of his covenant, which he had made with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob. And he was not willing to destroy them, nor to cast them out completely, even to the present time.

24 Lè Hazaël, wa Syrie a te mouri, Ben-Hadad, fis li a, te devni wa nan plas li.

Then Hazael, the 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.

Now Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, by a just war, took the cities from the hand of Benhadad, the son of Hazael, which he had taken from the hand of Jehoahaz, his father. Joash struck him three times, and he restored the cities to Israel.
