2 Wa 14
1 Nan dezyèm ane Joas la, fis a Joachaz la, wa Israël la, Amatsia, fis a Joas la, wa Juda a, te devni wa.
In the second year of Joash son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel, Amaziah son of Joash, king of Judah, has reigned;
2 Li te gen laj a venn-senkan lè li te devni wa, e li te renye vent-nèf ane Jérusalem. Manman li te rele Joaddan, yon moun Jérusalem.
he was a son of twenty-five years in his reigning, and he has reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Jehoaddan of Jerusalem,
3 Amatsia te fè sa ki bon nan zye SENYÈ a, men pa tankou David, zansèt li a. Li te fè menm selon tout sa ke Joas, papa li te konn fè yo.
and he does that which [is] right in the eyes of YHWH, only not like his father David; he has done according to all that his father Joash did,
4 Se sèl wo plas yo ki pa t retire. Pèp la te toujou fè sakrifis e brile lansan nan wo plas yo.
only, the high places have not been removed—the people are still sacrificing and making incense in high places.
5 Alò, li te vin rive ke depi wayòm nan te byen solid nan men l, ke li te touye sèvitè li yo ki te touye wa a, papa li.
And it comes to pass, when the kingdom has been strong in his hand, that he strikes his servants, those striking his father the king,
6 Men fis a sila ki te mouri yo, li pa t mete yo a lanmò, an akò avèk sa ki ekri nan liv Lalwa Moïse la, jan SENYÈ a te kòmande a lè l te di: “Papa yo p ap mete a lanmò pou fis yo, ni fis yo p ap mete a lanmò pou papa yo, men chak moun va mete a lanmò pou pwòp peche pa l.”
and the sons of those striking [him] he has not put to death, as it is written in the Scroll of the Law of Moses that YHWH commanded, saying, “Fathers are not put to death for sons, and sons are not put to death for fathers, but each is put to death for his own sin.”
7 Li te touye di-mil moun Édom nan Vale Sèl la, epi te pran Séla nan lagè. Li te rele li Yoqthéel, e se sa li ye jis rive jodi a.
He has struck ten thousand of Edom in the Valley of Salt, and seized Selah in war, and [one] calls its name Joktheel to this day,
8 Epi Amatsia te voye mesaje yo kote Joas, fis a Joachaz la, fis a Jéhu a, wa a Israël la. Li te di: “Vini, annou parèt fasafas.”
then Amaziah has sent messengers to Jehoash son of Jehoahaz, son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, “Come, we look one another in the face.”
9 Joas, wa Israël la, te voye kote Amatsia, wa Juda a, e te di: “Bwa pikan ki te Liban an te voye kote sèd ki te Liban an, e li te di: ‘Bay fi ou an maryaj a fis mwen an.’ Men te pase pa la yon bèt sovaj ki te Liban, e li te kraze bwa pikan an anba pye l.
And Jehoash king of Israel sends to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, “The thorn that [is] in Lebanon has sent to the cedar that [is] in Lebanon, saying, Give your daughter to my son for a wife; and a beast of the field that [is] in Lebanon passes by, and treads down the thorn.
10 Anverite, ou te bat Édom e kè ou vin plen ògèy. Rete lakay ou pou fè kè kontan. Pou ki rezon ou ta pwovoke twoub la jiskaske ou menm, ou ta tonbe, e Juda ansanm avèk ou?”
You have certainly struck Edom, and your heart has lifted you up; be honored, and abide in your house; and why do you stir yourself up in evil, that you have fallen, you and Judah with you?”
11 Men Amatsia te refize koute. Pou sa, wa Israël la te monte. Li menm avèk wa Juda a te parèt fasafas nan Beth-Schémesch ki pou Juda a.
And Amaziah has not listened, and Jehoash king of Israel goes up, and they look one another in the face, he and Amaziah king of Judah, in Beth-Shemesh, that [is] Judah’s,
12 Juda te bat pa Israël e yo te sove ale, yo chak nan pwòp tant pa yo.
and Judah is struck before Israel, and they each flee to his tent.
13 Epi Joas, wa Israël la, te kaptire Amatsia, wa Juda a, fis a Joas la, fis a Achazia a, nan Beth-Schémesch, li te rive Jérusalem e li te chire miray Jérusalem nan soti nan Pòtay Ephraïm nan jis rive nan Pòtay Kwen an, distans a kat-san koude.
And Jehoash king of Israel caught Amaziah king of Judah, son of Jehoash, son of Ahaziah, in Beth-Shemesh, and they come to Jerusalem, and he bursts through the wall of Jerusalem, at the Gate of Ephraim to the Corner Gate, four hundred cubits,
14 Li te pran tout lò avèk tout ajan ak tout zouti ki te twouve lakay SENYÈ a, nan trezò lakay wa a, ansanm ak kaptif yo e li te retounen Samarie.
and has taken all the gold and the silver, and all the vessels that are found in the house of YHWH, and in the treasures of the house of the king, and the sons of the pledges, and turns back to Samaria.
15 Alò, tout lòt zèv ke Joas te fè yo, avèk pwisans li, ak jan li te goumen avèk Amatsia, wa Juda a, èske yo pa ekri nan Liv A Kwonik A Wa Israël yo?
And the rest of the matters of Jehoash that he did, and his might, and how he fought with Amaziah king of Judah, are they not written on the scroll of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
16 Konsa, Joas te dòmi avèk zansèt li yo, e li te antere Samarie avèk wa Israël yo. Jéroboam, fis li a, te devni wa nan plas li.
And Jehoash lies with his fathers, and is buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel, and his son Jeroboam reigns in his stead.
17 Amatsia, fis a Joas la, Wa Juda a, te viv kenzan apre lanmò Joas, fis a Joachaz la, wa Israël la.
And Amaziah son of Joash, king of Judah, lives after the death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz, king of Israel, fifteen years,
18 Alò, tout lòt zèv a Amatsia yo, èske yo pa ekri nan Liv A Kwonik A Wa A Juda yo?
and the rest of the matters of Amaziah, are they not written on the scroll of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
19 Yo te fè konplo kont li Jérusalem e li te sove ale rive Lakis. Men yo te voye dèyè li Lakis pou te touye li la.
And they make a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem, and he flees to Lachish, and they send after him to Lachish, and put him to death there,
20 Epi yo te mennen kò li sou cheval yo, e li te antere Jérusalem avèk zansèt li yo nan vil David la.
and lift him up on the horses, and he is buried in Jerusalem with his fathers in the City of David.
21 Tout pèp Juda a te pran Azaria, nan laj sèzan, e yo te fè li wa nan plas a papa li, Amatsia.
And all the people of Judah take Azariah, and he [is] a son of sixteen years, and cause him to reign instead of his father Amaziah;
22 Li te bati Élath e li te remèt li bay Juda apre wa a te dòmi avèk zansèt li yo.
he has built Elath, and brings it back to Judah, after the lying of the king with his fathers.
23 Nan kenzyèm ane règn Amatsia, fis a Joas la, wa Juda a, Jéroboam, fis a Joas la, wa Israël la te devni wa Samarie, e li te renye pandan karanteyen ane.
In the fifteenth year of Amaziah son of Joash, king of Judah, Jeroboam son of Joash, king of Israel, has reigned in Samaria, forty-one years,
24 Li te fè mal nan zye SENYÈ a. Li pa t kite tout peche Jéroboam yo, fis a Nebath la, ki te fè Israël peche yo.
and he does evil in the eyes of YHWH; he has not turned aside from all the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat that he caused Israel to sin.
25 Li te restore lizyè Israël la soti nan antre Hamath jis rive nan Lamè Araba, selon pawòl SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la, ki te pale pa sèvitè li Jonas, fis a Amitthaï a nan Gath-Hépher.
He has brought back the border of Israel, from the entering in of Hamath to the sea of the desert, according to the word of YHWH, God of Israel, that He spoke by the hand of His servant Jonah son of Amittai the prophet, who [is] of Gath-Hepher,
26 Paske SENYÈ a te wè soufrans Israël ki te tèlman anmè; paske pa t gen ni esklav, ni lib, ni pa t gen okenn moun ki pou ede Israël.
for YHWH has seen the very bitter affliction of Israel, and there is none restrained, and there is none left, and there is no helper for Israel;
27 SENYÈ a pa t di ke li ta efase non Israël anba syèl la; men Li te delivre yo pa men Jéroboam, fis a Joas la.
and YHWH has not spoken to blot out the name of Israel from under the heavens, and saves them by the hand of Jeroboam son of Joash.
28 Alò, tout lòt zèv Jéroboam yo avèk tout sa ke li te fè ak pouvwa li, jan li te goumen ak jan li te reprann pou Israël Damas avèk Hamath nan Juda, èske yo pa ekri nan Liv Kwonik A Wa Israël Yo?
And the rest of the matters of Jeroboam, and all that he did, and his might with which he fought, and with which he brought back Damascus, and Hamath of Judah, into Israel, are they not written on the scroll of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
29 Epi Jéroboam te dòmi avèk zansèt pa li yo, menm ak wa a Israël yo. Epi Zacharie, fis li a, te devni wa nan plas li.
And Jeroboam lies with his fathers, with the kings of Israel, and his son Zechariah reigns in his stead.
