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 Joahaz king of Israel, began Amaziah son of Joash king of Judah to reign.
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.
Twenty-five years old, was he when he began to reign, and twenty-nine years, reigned he in Jerusalem, —and, his mother’s name, was 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 did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, only, not like David his father: according to all that Joash his father did, so he 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, took they not away, —still were the people sacrificing and burning incense in the 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 came to pass that, as soon as the kingdom was confirmed in his hand, he smote his servants who smote the king his father;
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.”
but, the sons of them that smote him, slew he not, —as it is written in the book of the law of Moses, which Yahweh commanded, saying—Fathers, shall not be put to death, for sons, nor shall, sons, be put to death, for fathers, but every man, for his own sin, shall be put to death.
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, smote Edom, in the valley of salt, ten thousand, and seized Sela, in the war, —and called the name thereof Joktheel, [as it is] until 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, sent Amaziah messengers unto Jehoash son of Jehoahaz son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, —Come now, let us 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 sent unto Amaziah king of Judah, saying, A thistle that was in Lebanon, sent unto a cedar that was in Lebanon, saying—Give thy daughter to my son to wife, —and there passed by a beast of the field that was in Lebanon, and trampled down the thistle:
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?”
Thou hast, smitten, Edom, and, thy heart, would lift thee up, —Glory, and stay at home! Wherefore, then, shouldest thou contend with misfortune, and fall, thou, and Judah with thee?
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.
But Amaziah hearkened not. So then Jehoash king of Israel came up, and they looked one another in the face, he and Amaziah king of Judah, —in Beth-shemesh, which belongeth unto Judah.
12 Juda te bat pa Israël e yo te sove ale, yo chak nan pwòp tant pa yo.
Then was Judah defeated before Israel, —and they fled, every man to his own home;
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, upon Amaziah, king of Judah, son of Jehoash son of Ahaziah, did Jehoash king of Israel, seize, in Beth-shemesh, —and entered Jerusalem, and brake down the wall of Jerusalem, at the gate of Ephraim, as far as 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 took all the gold and the silver and all the vessels that were found in the house of Yahweh, and in the treasuries of the house of the king, and hostages, —and returned 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?
Now, the rest of the story of Jehoash, what he did, and his might and how he fought with Amaziah king of Judah, are, they, not written in the book 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 slept with his fathers, and was buried in Samaria, with the kings of Israel, —and, Jeroboam his son, reigned, 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, lived, 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?
Now, the rest of the story of Amaziah, is, it, not written in the book 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, when they made against him a conspiracy in Jerusalem, he fled to Lachish, —but they sent after him to Lachish, and slew him, 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 they bare him on horses, —and he was 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 took Azariah, he, being sixteen yearn old, —and made, him, king 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, built Elath, and restored it to Judah, —after the king slept 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, began Jeroboam, son of Joash, king of Israel, to reign in Samaria, [and he reigned] 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 did the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, —he turned not away from any of the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, which he caused, Israel, to commit.
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, restored the boundary of Israel, from the entering in of Hamath, unto the sea of the waste plain, —according to the word of Yahweh, God of Israel, which he spake by the hand of his servant Jonah, son of Amittai, the prophet, who was 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 Yahweh saw the humiliation of Israel, that it was bitter, indeed, —and that there was no one shut up, nor any one left at large, no one indeed to help 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.
Neither had Yahweh spoken, to wipe out the name of Israel from under the heavens, —so he saved 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?
Now, the rest of the story of Jeroboam, and all that he did, and his might when he warred, and how he restored Damascus and Hamath to Judah in Israel, are, they, not written in the book 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 slept with his fathers, with the kings of Israel, —and, Zechariah his son, reigned, in his stead.
