2 Wa 16

1 Nan di-setyèm ane a Pékach, fis a Remalia a, Achaz, fis Jotham nan, wa Juda a, te devni wa.

In the seventeenth year of Phakee son of Romelias began Achaz the son of Joatham king of Juda to reign.

2 Achaz te gen ventan lè li te devni wa, a e li te renye sèzan nan Jérusalem. Li pa t fè sa ki bon nan zye a SENYÈ a, jan David te konn fè a.

Twenty years old was Achaz when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem; and he did not that which was right in the eyes of the Lord his God faithfully, as David his father [had done].

3 Men li te mache nan chemen wa Israël yo. Li menm te fè fis li pase nan dife, tankou abominasyon a nasyon ke SENYÈ a te chase mete deyò devan fis Israël yo.

And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, yea, he made his son to pass through the fire, according to the abominations of the heathen whom the Lord cast out from before the children of Israel.

4 Li te fè sakrifis e li te brile lansan sou wo plas yo ak sou ti mòn anba chak pyebwa vèt yo.

And he sacrificed and burnt incense on the high places, and upon the hills, and under every shady tree.

5 Alò, Retsin, wa Syrie a avèk Pékach, fis a Remalia a, wa Israël la, te monte Jérusalem pou fè lagè. Yo te fè syèj sou Achaz, men yo pa t kab venk li.

Then went up Raasson king of Syria and Phakee son of Romelias king of Israel against Jerusalem to war, and besieged Achaz, but could not prevail [against him].

6 Nan tan sa a Retsin, wa Syrie a, te reprann Élath pou Syrie e li te netwaye retire Jwif yo nèt nan Élath. Epi Siryen yo te vini Élath e yo rete la jis rive jodi a.

At that time Raasson king of Syria recovered Aelath to Syria, and drove out the Jews from Aelath, and the Idumeans came to Aelath, and dwelt there until this day.

7 Konsa, Achaz te voye mesaje yo kote Tiglath-Piléser, wa Assyrie a. Li te di: “Mwen se sèvitè ou ak fis ou; vin delivre mwen soti nan men a wa Syrie a, avèk men a wa Israël la k ap fè soulèvman kont mwen.”

And Achaz sent messengers to Thalgath-phellasar king of the Assyrians, saying, I am thy servant and thy son: come up, deliver me out of the hand of the king of Syria, and out of the hand of the king of Israel, who are rising up against me.

8 Achaz te pran ajan avèk lò ki te twouve lakay SENYÈ a ak nan kès lakay wa a pou te voye yon kado bay wa Assyrie a.

And Achaz took the silver and the gold that was found in the treasures of the house of the Lord, and of the king's house, and sent gifts to the king.

9 Konsa, wa Assyrie a te koute li, epi wa Assyrie a te monte kont Damas pou te kaptire li. Li te pote pèp li a deyò an egzil nan Kir, e li te mete Retsin a lanmò.

And the king of the Assyrians hearkened to him: and the king of the Assyrians went up to Damascus and took it, and removed the inhabitants, and slew king Raasson.

10 Alò, Wa Achaz te ale kote Damas pou rankontre Tiglath-Piléser, wa Assyrie, e li te wè lotèl ki te Damas la. Konsa, Wa Achaz te voye bay Urie, prèt la, plan lotèl la avèk yon modèl li, selon tout mendèv pa li.

And king Achaz went to Damascus to meet Thalgath-phellasar king of the Assyrians at Damascus; and he saw an altar at Damascus. And king Achaz sent to Urias the priest the pattern of the altar, and its proportions, and all its workmanship.

11 Konsa, Urie, prèt la te bati yon lotèl selon tout sa ke Wa Achaz te voye soti Damas, e konsa Urie, prèt la, te fè li, avan wa Achaz te vini soti Damas.

And Urias the priest built the altar, according to all [the directions] which king Achaz sent from Damascus.

12 Lè wa a te antre sòti Damas, wa a te wè lotèl la. Alò, wa a te pwoche lotèl la e te fè ofrann sou li.

And the king saw the altar, and went up to it,

13 Li te brile ofrann brile li a avèk ofrann sereyal la, li te vide ofrann bwason li an e li te flite san a ofrann lapè li yo sou lotèl la.

and offered his whole-burnt-offering, and his meat-offering, and his drink-offering, and poured out the blood of his peace-offerings on the brazen altar that was before the Lord.

14 Lotèl bwonz lan, ki te devan SENYÈ a, li te mennen soti devan kay la, soti nan antre lotèl pa li a, lakay Senyè a e li te mete li sou kote nò lotèl pa li a.

And he brought forward [the one] before the house of the Lord from between the altar and the house of the Lord, and he set it openly by the side of the altar northwards.

15 Epi Wa Achaz te kòmande Urie, prèt la, e li te di: “Sou gran lotèl la, brile ofrann brile maten an ak ofrann sereyal aswè a; epi ofrann brile wa a avèk ofrann sereyal pa li a, avèk ofrann brile a tout pèp peyi a avèk ofrann sereyal pa yo ak ofrann bwason yo; epi flite sou li tout san a ofrann brile a e tout san a sakrifis la. Men lotèl bwonz lan va sèlman pou mwen pou m kab mande konsèy ladann.

And king Achaz charged Urias the priest, saying, Offer upon the great altar the whole-burnt-offering in the morning and the meat-offering in the evening, and the whole-burnt-offering of the king, and his meat-offering, and the whole-burnt-offering of all the people, and their meat-offering, and their drink-offering; and thou shalt pour all the blood of the whole-burnt-offering, and all the blood of [any other] sacrifice upon it: and the brazen altar shall be for me in the morning.

16 Pou sa, Urie, prèt la, te fè tout bagay selon sa ke Wa Achaz te kòmande a.”

And Urias the priest did according to all that king Achaz commanded him.

17 Alò, Wa Achaz te koupe retire arebò a baz yo e li te retire basen lave a sou yo. Li te osi desann lanmè a soti sou bèf bwonz ki te anba li yo, e li te mete li sou yon pave an wòch.

And king Achaz cut off the borders of the bases, and removed the laver from off them, and took down the sea from the brazen oxen that were under it, and set it upon a base of stone.

18 Li te retire osi chemen machpye Saba a ke yo te bati nan kay la e antre eksteryè a wa a, li te retire li soti lakay SENYÈ a akoz wa Assyrie a.

And he made a base for the throne in the house of the Lord, and he turned the king's entrance without in the house of the Lord because of the king of the Assyrians.

19 Alò, tout lòt zèv Achaz te fè yo, èske yo pa ekri nan Liv Kwonik A Wa A Juda yo?

And the rest of the acts of Achaz, even all that he did, [are] not these written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda?

20 Konsa, Achaz te dòmi avèk zansèt pa li yo, e li te antere avèk zansèt pa li yo nan lavil David la. Fis li, Ézéchias, te renye nan plas li.

And Achaz slept with his fathers, and was buried in the city of David: and Ezekias his son reigned in his stead.
