2 Chronicles 11
1 And when Rehoboam was come to Ierusalem, he gathered of the house of Iudah and Beniamin nine score thousande chosen men of warre to fight against Israel, and to bring the kingdome againe to Rehoboam.
Lè Woboram rive lavil Jerizalèm, li sanble sankatrevenmil (180.000) sòlda nan pi bon sòlda ki te nan branch fanmi Jida ak nan branch fanmi Benjamen. Li te fè lide al goumen ak moun peyi Izrayèl yo pou l' mete yo anba lòd li ankò.
2 But the worde of the Lord came to Shemaiah the man of God, saying,
Men, Bondye pale ak Chemaya, pwofèt li a, li di l' konsa:
3 Speake vnto Rehoboam, the sonne of Salomon King of Iudah, and to all Israel that are in Iudah, and Beniamin, saying,
-Pale ak Woboram, pitit Salomon an, wa peyi Jida a, ansanm ak tout moun pep Izrayèl ki fè pati branch fanmi Jida ak branch fanmi Benjamen yo. Di yo konsa:
4 Thus sayth the Lord, Ye shall not goe vp, nor fight against your brethren: returne euery man to his house: for this thing is done of me. They obeyed therfore the word of the Lord, and returned from going against Ieroboam.
Men mesaj mwen menm Seyè a, mwen voye ba yo: Piga n' al goumen ak fanmi nou yo. Tounen lakay nou. Sa ki rive a se travay mwen. Se mwen menm ki vle l' konsa. Moun yo koute lòd Seyè a vre, yo pa moute al goumen ak Jewoboram.
5 And Rehoboam dwelt in Ierusalem, and buylt strong cities in Iudah.
Woboram rete lavil Jerizalèm, li moute ranpa nan anpil lavil peyi Jida pou pwoteje yo.
6 Hee buylt also Beth-lehem, and Etam, and Tekoa,
Se konsa, li ranfòse miray lavil Betleyèm, Eytam, Tekoa,
7 And Beth-zur, and Shoco, and Adullam,
Betsou, Soko, Adoulam,
8 And Gath, and Maresha, and Ziph,
Gat, Marecha, Zif,
9 And Adoraim, and Lachish, and Azekah,
Adorayim, Lakis, Aseka,
10 And Zorah, and Aialon, and Hebron, which were in Iudah and Beniamin, strong cities.
Soreya, Ajalon, Ebwon. Tou sa se lavil ak ranpa ki te nan peyi Jida ak nan peyi Benjamen.
11 And he repaired the strong holdes and put captaines in them, and store of vitaile, and oyle and wine.
Li ranfòse miray ranpa yo, li mete chèf reskonsab yo, li fè bati depo pou mete manje, lwil ak diven.
12 And in all cities he put shieldes and speares, and made them exceeding strong: so Iudah and Beniamin were his.
Lèfini, nan chak lavil, li fè bay gwo plak pwotèj ak frenn an kantite. Lavil sa yo te byen pwoteje. Se konsa Woboram te kenbe moun branch fanmi Jida ak branch fanmi Benjamen yo anba otorite l'.
13 And the Priests and the Leuites that were in all Israel, resorted vnto him out of all their coastes.
Prèt yo ak moun Levi yo soti toupatou nan peyi Izrayèl, yo vin jwenn Woboram.
14 For the Leuites left their suburbes and their possession, and came to Iudah and to Ierusalem: for Ieroboam and his sonnes had cast them out from ministring in the Priestes office vnto the Lord.
Moun Levi yo te kite bèt yo nan savann ak tout lòt byen yo, yo desann lavil Jerizalèm ak nan peyi Jida, paske Jewoboram, wa peyi Izrayèl la ak tout wa ki te vin apre l' yo, te enpoze moun Levi yo fè sèvis yo tankou prèt Seyè a.
15 And he ordeyned him Priests for the hie places, and for the deuils and for the calues which he had made.
Jewoboram te chwazi prèt pa l' pou fè sèvis kote yo fè ofrann bèt pou lòt bondye li t'ap sèvi sou fòm estati bouk kabrit ak ti towo bèf li te fè fè pou li yo.
16 And after the Leuites there came to Ierusalem of all the tribes of Israel, such as set their heartes to seeke the Lord God of Israel, to offer vnto the Lord God of their fathers.
Nan tout peyi Izrayèl la moun ki te vle sèvi Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, ak tout kè yo fè tankou moun Levi yo ak prèt yo. Yo desann lavil Jerizalèm pou yo te ka ofri bèt pou yo touye pou Seyè a, Bondye zansèt yo a.
17 So they strengthened the kingdome of Iudah, and made Rehoboam the sonne of Salomon mightie, three yeere long: for three yeere they walked in in the way of Dauid and Salomon.
Sa te bay gouvènman peyi Jida a anpil fòs. Pandan twazan yo kenbe la ak Woboram, pitit Salomon an, yo viv jan yo te konn viv sou rèy wa David ak wa Salomon.
18 And Rehoboam tooke him Mahalath ye daughter of Ierimoth the sonne of Dauid to wife, and Abihail the daughter of Eliab the sonne of Ishai,
Woboram te marye ak Malat, pitit fi Jerimòt ki te pitit David ak Abigayil, pitit fi Eliyab, pitit pitit fi Izayi.
19 Which bare him sonnes Ieush, and Shemariah, and Zaham.
Yo fè twa pitit gason: Jeouch, Chemarya ak Saram.
20 And after her he tooke Maakah ye daughter of Absalom which bare him Abiiah, and Atthai, and Ziza, and Shelomith.
Apre sa, Woboram marye ak Maka, pitit fi Absalon, ki ba li kat pitit gason: Abija, Atayi, Ziza ak Chelomit.
21 And Rehoboam loued Maakah ye daughter of Absalom aboue all his wiues and his concubines: for he tooke eighteene wiues, and three score concubines, and begate eyght and twentie sonnes, and three score daughters.
Antou Woboram te gen dizwit madan marye ak swasant fanm kay. Li fè venntwit pitit gason ak swasant pitit fi. Nan tout madan marye li yo ak fanm kay li yo, se Maka, pitit fi Absalon an, li te pi renmen.
22 And Rehoboam made Abiiah the sonne of Maakah the chiefe ruler among his brethren: for he thought to make him King.
Konsa tou, li te pito Abija, pitit gason Maka te fè pou li a, pase tout lòt pitit li yo. Li mete l' chèf tout frè l' yo. Li te vle se li ki pou pran plas li lè li mouri.
23 And he taught him: and dispersed all his sonnes throughout all the countreis of Iudah and Beniamin vnto euery strong citie: and hee gaue them aboundance of vitaile, and desired many wiues.
Li te fè lide bay chak pitit gason l' yo yon reskonsablite. Se konsa, li voye yo al rete toupatou nan peyi Jida ak nan peyi Benjamen, nan tout lavil li te ranfòse yo, li ba yo pwovizyon an kantite epi li marye yo ak anpil fanm.
