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 reigned hath Amaziah son of Joash king of Judah;
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.
a son of twenty and five years was he in his reigning, and twenty and nine years he hath reigned 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 doth that which [is] right in the eyes of Jehovah, only not like David his father, according to all that Joash his father did he hath done,
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 turned aside — yet are the people sacrificing and making perfume 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 cometh to pass, when the kingdom hath been strong in his hand, that he smiteth his servants, those smiting 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.”
and the sons of those smiting [him] he hath not put to death, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses that Jehovah commanded, saying, 'Fathers are not put to death for sons, and sons are not put to death for fathers, but each for his own sin is 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 hath smitten Edom, in the valley of salt — ten thousand, and seized Selah in war, and [one] calleth its name Joktheel unto 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 hath Amaziah sent messengers unto 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 sendeth unto Amaziah king of Judah, saying, 'The thorn that [is] in Lebanon hath sent unto the cedar that [is] in Lebanon, saying, Give thy daughter to my son for a wife; and pass by doth a beast of the field that [is] in Lebanon, and treadeth 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?”
Thou hast certainly smitten Edom, and thy heart hath lifted thee up; be honoured, and abide in thy house; and why dost thou stir thyself up in evil, that thou hast fallen, 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.
And Amaziah hath not hearkened, and go up doth Jehoash king of Israel, 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 smitten before Israel, and they flee each 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 Amaziah king of Judah, son of Jehoash son of Ahaziah, caught hath Jehoash king of Israel in Beth-Shemesh, and they come in to Jerusalem, and he bursteth through the wall of Jerusalem, at the gate of Ephraim unto the gate of the corner, 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 hath taken all the gold and the silver, and all the vessels that are found in the house of Jehovah, and in the treasures of the house of the king, and the sons of the pledges, and turneth 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 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 lieth with his fathers, and is buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel, and reign doth Jeroboam his son 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 liveth 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 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 they make a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem, and he fleeth 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 hath built Elath, and bringeth 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, reigned hath Jeroboam son of Joash king of Israel in Samaria — forty and 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 doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, he hath 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 hath brought back the border of Israel, from the entering in of Hamath unto the sea of the desert, according to the word of Jehovah, God of Israel, that He spake 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 Jehovah hath seen the affliction of Israel — very bitter, and there is none restrained, and there is none left, and there is no helper to 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 Jehovah hath not spoken to blot out the name of Israel from under the heavens, and saveth 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 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 lieth with his fathers, with the kings of Israel, and reign doth Zechariah his son in his stead.
