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 son of Ahaziah king of Judah, began Jehoahaz, son of Jehu, to reign over Israel, in Samaria, [and he reigned] 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 the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, —and went after the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat which he caused, Israel, to commit, he departed not therefrom.
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.
Then was kindled the anger of Yahweh against Israel—and he delivered them into the hand of Hazael king of Syria, and into the hand of Ben-hadad 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.
And Jehoahaz appeased the face of Yahweh, —and Yahweh hearkened unto him, because he had seen the oppression of Israel, for that, 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.
So Yahweh gave unto Israel a saviour, and they went forth from under the hand of Syria, —and the sons of Israel dwelt in their own homes, as aforetime.
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.
Howbeit they departed not from the sins of the house of Jeroboam which he caused, Israel, to commit, therein, they walked, —moreover also, the Sacred Stem, still stood 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 had not left remaining unto Jehoahaz a people, save only fifty horsemen, and ten chariots, and ten thousand footmen, —for the king of Syria had destroyed them, and had made them like 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 story of Jehoahaz, and all that he did, and his might, are, they, not 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.
So then Jehoahaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him in Samaria, —and, Joash 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 thirty-seventh year of Joash king of Judah, began Jehoash son of Jehoahaz to reign over Israel, in Samaria, [and he reigned] 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 was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, —he turned not away from all the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, which he caused, Israel, to commit, therein, he walked.
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 story of Joash, and all that he did, and his might, wherewith he fought against Amaziah king of Judah, are, they, not 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.
So then Joash slept with his fathers, and, Jeroboam, took his seat on 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, had fallen sick of his sickness whereof he was about to die, —so then Joash king of Israel came down unto him, and wept upon his face, and said, My father! my father! The chariots of Israel and the horsemen thereof!
15 Élisée te di li: “Pran yon banza avèk flèch.” Konsa, li te pran yon Banza avèk flèch.
And Elisha said unto him, Take bow and arrows. So he took unto him 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.
Then said he unto the king of Israel, Let thy hand rest upon the bow. So he let his hand rest thereon. Then Elisha put his own hands upon 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 said—Open the lattice eastward. And he opened it. Then said Elisha—Shoot! And he shot. Then he said, —The arrow of victory by Yahweh, yea the arrow of victory over Syria, therefore shalt thou smite Syria in Aphek, till it be consumed.
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. So he took them. Then said he unto the king of Israel—Smite unto the ground. So he smote three times, and then stayed.
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.”
Then was the man of God wroth against him, and said—Thou shouldest have smitten five or six times, then, hadst thou smitten Syria, until it had been consumed; But, now, three times, shalt thou smite Syria.
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 Elisha died, and they buried him, —now, troops of Moabites, used to enter 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.
and it came to pass, as, they, were burying a man, that, lo! they saw a troop, so they cast the man into the sepulchre of Elisha, —and, as soon as the man touched the bones of Elisha, he came to life again, and rose up on his feet.
22 Alò Hazaël, wa Syrie a, te oprime Israël pandan tout jou a Joachaz yo.
And, Hazael king of Syria, had 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.
Then was Yahweh gracious unto them, and had compassion upon them, and turned unto them, for the sake of his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, —and was not willing to destroy them, nor to cast them off from his presence, as yet.
24 Lè Hazaël, wa Syrie a te mouri, Ben-Hadad, fis li a, te devni wa nan plas li.
So then Hazael king of Syria died; and, Ben-hadad 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.
And Jehoash son of Jehoahaz again took the cities out of the hand of Ben-hadad son of Hazael, which he had taken out of the hand of Jehoahaz his father, in war, —three times, did Joash smite him, and recover the cities of Israel.
