2 Chronicles 21
1 And Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers, in the city of David, —and Jehoram his son reigned in his steed.
Jozafa mouri, yo antere l' nan tonm wa yo, nan lavil David la. Se pitit li, Joram, ki moute sou fotèy la nan plas li.
2 Now, he, had brethren, sons of Jehoshaphat—Azariah and Jehiel and Zechariah and Azariah, and Michael and Shephatiah, —all these, were sons of Jehoshaphat king of Israel,
Joram, pitit Jozafa, wa peyi Jida a, te gen sis frè: Azarya, Jeyèl, Zakari, Azaryawou, Mikayèk ak Chefatyawou.
3 and their father gave them large presents—of silver and of gold and of precious things, with cities of defence, in Judah, —but, the kingdom, gave he unto Jehoram, for, he, was the firstborn.
Papa yo te ba yo chak yon kantite lò, ajan, ak tout kalite lòt bagay ki gen valè. Li mete yo chèf nan gwo lavil ki gen miray ranpa nan peyi Jida a. Men li te mete Joram wa nan plas li, paske Joram te premye pitit gason l'.
4 But, when Jehoram had arisen over the kingdom of his father, he strengthened himself, and slew all his brethren, with the sword, —moreover also some of the rulers of Israel.
Lè Joram moute wa nan plas papa l', li chita otorite l' byen chita nan peyi a. Lèfini, li fè touye tout frè l' yo ansanm ak kèk gwo chèf pèp Izrayèl la.
5 Thirty-two years old, was Jehoram when he began to reign, —and, eight years, reigned he in Jerusalem.
Joram te gen tranndezan lè li moute wa. Li gouvènen lavil Jerizalèm pandan witan.
6 And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, like as did the house of Ahab, for, the daughter of Ahab, had he, to wife, —so he wrought wickedness, in the eyes of Yahweh.
Li fè tankou wa Akab ak lòt wa peyi Izrayèl yo te fè. Li te marye ak yon pitit fi Akab, li fè sa ki mal nan je Seyè a.
7 Howbeit Yahweh was not willing to destroy the house of David, because of the covenant which he had solemnised, unto David, —and as he had promised to give unto him a lamp, and unto his sons, all the days.
Men Seyè a pa t' vle detwi fanmi David la, paske li te pase kontra ak David. Li te pwomèt David li t'ap toujou gen yon moun nan ras li pou gouvènen peyi a devan Seyè a.
8 In his days, revolted the Edomites, from under the hand of Judah, —and set over themselves a king.
Sou rèy wa Joram, moun peyi Edon yo pran lèzam kont moun peyi Jida yo. Yo pran libète granmoun yo, yo nonmen yon wa pou gouvènen yo.
9 So Jehoram passed over, with his captains, and all his chariot, with him, -and it came to pass that he rose up by night, and smote the Edomites that were round about unto him, and the chariot-captains.
Se konsa Joram soti ak tout chèf li yo ak tout cha lagè li yo, li mache sou yo. Lame moun Edon yo sènen l'. Pandan lannwit, Joram ak chèf cha lagè li yo leve, yo atake moun Edon yo, yo pase soti nan mitan yo, yo chape kò yo.
10 So Edom revolted from under the hand of Judah—unto this day. Then, must Libnah needs revolt at the same time, from under his hand, —because he had forsaken Yahweh, the God of his fathers.
Se depi lè sa a, peyi Edon soti anba otorite peyi Jida a. Yo granmoun lakay yo. Se menm lè sa a tou, moun lavil Libna yo soti anba otorite peyi Jida a, paske Joram te vire do bay Seyè a, Bondye zansèt yo a.
11 He too, made high places among the mountains of Judah, —and caused the inhabitants of Jerusalem to be unchaste, and seduced Judah.
Li te menm rive fè bati tanp pou sèvi zidòl nan mòn peyi Jida yo. Li lakòz moun lavil Jerizalèm yo vire do bay Bondye. Li fè peyi Jida a pèdi wout li.
12 Then came there unto him, a writing, from Elijah the prophet, saying, —Thus, saith Yahweh, God of David thy father, Because thou hast not walked in the ways of Jehoshaphat thy father, nor in the ways of Asa, king of Judah;
Se konsa Joram resevwa yon lèt pwofèt Eli te voye ba li. Nan lèt la pwofèt la di: -Men sa Seyè a, Bondye David, zansèt w'a a, voye di ou: Ou pa swiv egzanp Jozafa, papa ou, ni egzanp Asa, granpapa ou.
13 but hast walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and hast caused Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem to be unchaste, after the unchastities of the house of Ahab, —moreover also, thine own brethren of the house of thy father who were better than thou, hast thou slain,
Ou te pito swiv egzanp wa peyi Izrayèl yo. Ou lakòz peyi Jida a ak tout moun lavil Jerizalèm yo vire do bay Bondye tankou moun fanmi Akab yo te fè l' la. Ou menm rive touye frè ou yo, pwòp pitit papa ou yo, ki te pi bon pase ou.
14 lo! Yahweh, is about to plague, with a great plague, thy people, -and thy children and thy wives, and all thy possessions;
Se poutèt sa, Seyè a pral voye yon gwo malè sou pèp la, sou pitit ou yo, sou madanm ou yo ak sou tou sa ou genyen.
15 also, thyself, with sore diseases, with disease of thy bowels, -until thy bowels shall fall out, by reason of the disease, in a year added to a year.
Ou menm pou tèt pa ou, ou pral malad anpil. Ou pral gen yon sèl maladi vant ki pral fè ou soufri jouk trip ou va soti.
16 And Yahweh stirred up against Jehoram the spirit of the Philistines, and the Arabians, who were under the direction of the Ethiopians;
Lè sa a, te gen kèk moun Filisti ak moun Arabi ki t'ap viv toupre ak moun Letiopi yo. Seyè a fè yo vin atake Joram.
17 and they came up against Judah, and forced their way into it, and carried off all the possessions that were found belonging to the house of the king, moreover also his sons and his wives, —so that there was left him never a son, save only Jehoahaz the youngest of his sons.
Yo anvayi peyi Jida, yo piye palè wa a, yo fè tout madanm li yo prizonye ansanm ak tout pitit gason l' yo. Sèl pitit gason yo te kite pou li se te Joakaz, ti dènye a.
18 And, after all this, Yahweh plagued him in his bowels with an incurable disease.
Apre sa, Seyè a voye yon sèl maladi vant sou li ki pa t' ka geri.
19 And it came to pass, in a year beyond a year, even when the end of the days of two years had passed, that his bowels fell out by reason of his disease, so that he died, of, malignant disease, —and his people made him no burning, like the burning of his fathers.
Pandan dezan maladi a t'ap minen l', trip li yo soti, li t'ap soufri anpil lè li mouri. Pèp la pa t' limen boukan pou li jan yo te fè l' pou zansèt li yo.
20 Thirty-two years old, was he when he began to reign, and, eight years, reigned he in Jerusalem, —and went his way—unregretted, and, though they buried him in the city of David, yet, not in the sepulchres of the kings.
Joram te gen tranndezan lè li moute wa, li gouvènen lavil Jerizalèm pandan witan. Pesonn pa t' pran lapenn pou li lè li mouri. Yo antere l' nan lavil David la, men yo pa mete l' nan tonm wa yo.
