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 Pekah the son of Remaliah Ahaz the son of Jotham king of Judah began 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] Ahaz when he began to reign, and reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem, and did not [that which was] right in the sight of the LORD his God, like David his father.

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.

But he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, yea, and 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 in the high places, and on the hills, and under every green 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 Rezin king of Syria and Pekah son of Remaliah king of Israel came up to Jerusalem to war: and they besieged Ahaz, but could not overcome [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 Rezin king of Syria recovered Elath to Syria, and drave the Jews from Elath: and the Syrians came to Elath, and dwelt there unto 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.”

So Ahaz sent messengers to Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria, saying, I [am] thy servant and thy son: come up, and save me out of the hand of the king of Syria, and out of the hand of the king of Israel, which rise 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 Ahaz took the silver and gold that was found in the house of the LORD, and in the treasures of the king’s house, and sent [it for] a present to the king of Assyria.

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 Assyria hearkened unto him: for the king of Assyria went up against Damascus, and took it, and carried [the people of] it captive to Kir, and slew Rezin.

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 Ahaz went to Damascus to meet Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria, and saw an altar that [was] at Damascus: and king Ahaz sent to Urijah the priest the fashion of the altar, and the pattern of it, according to all the workmanship thereof.

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 Urijah the priest built an altar according to all that king Ahaz had sent from Damascus: so Urijah the priest made [it] against king Ahaz came 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 when the king was come from Damascus, the king saw the altar: and the king approached to the altar, and offered thereon.

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 he burnt his burnt offering and his meat offering, and poured his drink offering, and sprinkled the blood of his peace offerings, upon the altar.

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 also the brasen altar, which [was] before the LORD, from the forefront of the house, from between the altar and the house of the LORD, and put it on the north side of the altar.

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 Ahaz commanded Urijah the priest, saying, Upon the great altar burn the morning burnt offering, and the evening meat offering, and the king’s burnt sacrifice, and his meat offering, with the burnt offering of all the people of the land, and their meat offering, and their drink offerings; and sprinkle upon it all the blood of the burnt offering, and all the blood of the sacrifice: and the brasen altar shall be for me to enquire [by].

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

Thus did Urijah the priest, according to all that king Ahaz commanded.

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 Ahaz cut off the borders of the bases, and removed the laver from off them; and took down the sea from off the brasen oxen that [were] under it, and put it upon a pavement of stones.

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 the covert for the sabbath that they had built in the house, and the king’s entry without, turned he from the house of the LORD for the king of Assyria.

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

Now the rest of the acts of Ahaz which he did, [are] they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

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 Ahaz slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David: and Hezekiah his son reigned in his stead.
