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 three and twentieth year of Joas son of Ochozias king of Juda, Joachaz the son of Jehu reigned over Israel in Samaria, 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 followed the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who made Israel to sin, and he departed not from them.
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 wrath of the Lord was kindled against Israel, and he delivered them into the hand of Hazael the king of Syria, and into the hand of Benadad the son of Hazael all 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 Joachaz besought the face of the Lord, and the Lord heard him: for he saw the distress 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 Israel a saviour, and they were delivered out of the hand of the king of Syria: and the children of Israel dwelt in their pavilions 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.
But yet they departed not from the sins of Jeroboam, who made Israel to sin, but walked in them: and there still remained a grove also 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 Joachaz had no more left of the people than fifty horsemen, and ten chariots, and ten thousand footmen: for the king of Syria had slain them, and had brought them low as dust by thrashing in the barnfloor.
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?
Rut the rest of the acts of Joachaz, and all that he did, and his valour, are they not 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 Joachaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him in Samaria: and Joas his son reigned in his stead.
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 seven and thirtieth year of Joas king of Juda, Joas the son of Joachaz reigned over Israel in Samaria 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 that which is evil in the sight of the Lord: he departed not from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who 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?
But the rest of the acts of Joas, and all that he did, and his valour wherewith he fought against Amasias king of Juda, are they not 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 Joas slept with his fathers: and Jeroboam sat upon his throne. But Joas 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 Eliseus was sick of the illness whereof he died: and Joas king of Israel went down to him, and wept before him, and said: O my father, my father, the chariot of Israel and the guider thereof.
15 Élisée te di li: “Pran yon banza avèk flèch.” Konsa, li te pran yon Banza avèk flèch.
And Eliseus said to him: Bring a bow and arrows. And when he had brought him a bow, and arrows,
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 thy hand upon the bow. And when he had put his hand, Eliseus put his hands over 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.”
And said: Open the window to the east. And when he had opened it, Eliseus said: Shoot an arrow. And he shot. And Eliseus said: The arrow of the Lord’s deliverance, and the arrow of the deliverance from Syria: and thou shalt strike the Syrians in Aphec, till thou 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 said to him: Strike with an arrow upon the ground. And he struck three times and 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.”
And the man of God was angry with him, and said: If thou hadst smitten five or six or seven times, thou hadst smitten Syria even to utter destruction: but now three times shalt thou smite it.
20 Élisée te mouri e yo te antere li. Alò, bann Moabit yo te fè envazyon teritwa a nan sezon prentan ane sila a.
And Eliseus died, and they buried him. And the rovers from Moab came into the land 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.
And some that were burying a man, saw the rovers, and cast the body into the sepulchre of Eliseus. And when it had touched the bones of Eliseus, the man came to life, and stood upon his feet.
22 Alò Hazaël, wa Syrie a, te oprime Israël pandan tout jou a Joachaz yo.
Now Hazael king of Syria afflicted Israel all the days of Joachaz:
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.
And the Lord had mercy on them, and returned to them because of his covenant, which he had made with Abraham and Isaac and Jacob: and he would not destroy them, nor utterly cast them away, unto this present time.
24 Lè Hazaël, wa Syrie a te mouri, Ben-Hadad, fis li a, te devni wa nan plas li.
And Hazael king of Syria died, and Benadad his son reigned in his stead.
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 Joas the son of Joachaz, took the cities out of the hand of Benadad, the son of Hazael, which he had taken out of the hand of Joachaz his father by war, three times did Joas beat him, and he restored the cities to Israel.
