2 Chronicles 25
1 Twenty-five years old, was Amaziah, when he began to reign, and, twenty-nine years, reigned he in Jerusalem, —and, the name of his mother, was Jehoaddan, of Jerusalem.
Amasya te gen vennsenkan lè li moute wa. Li gouvènen lavil Jerizalèm pandan ventnevan. Manman l' te rele Jeojadan, moun lavil Jerizalèm.
2 And he did that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh, —only not with a whole heart.
Amasya te fè sa ki dwat devan Seyè a, men pa ak tout kè li.
3 And it came to pass, when the kingdom was confirmed unto him, that he slew his servants who had smitten the king his father;
Lè Amasya fin chita otorite l', li fè touye chèf lame ki t'ap sèvi avè l' yo epi ki te touye papa l'.
4 but, their sons, he put not to death, —but as it is written in the law—in the book of Moses—how that Yahweh commanded, saying-Fathers, shall not die for, sons, and Sons, shall not die, for, fathers, but Each man, for his own sin, shall die.
Men li pa t' manyen pitit ansasen sa yo, paske dapre sa ki ekri nan Liv lalwa Moyiz la, Bondye te bay lòd sa a: Nou pa gen dwa touye yon papa pou krim pitit li fè. Ni nou pa gen dwa touye yon pitit pou krim papa l' te fè. Y'a touye yon moun pou krim li menm li fè.
5 And Amaziah gathered Judah together, and appointed them by their ancestral houses, as rulers of thousands and as rulers of hundreds, for all Judah and Benjamin, —and he numbered them, from twenty years old and upwards, and found them three hundred thousand choice men, able to go forth to war, who could grasp spear and shield.
Amasya reyini tout gason nan branch fanmi Jida yo ak nan branch fanmi Benjamen yo, li moute yon lame, chak fanmi apa. Li mete yon chèf alatèt chak rejiman mil sòlda ak yon chèf alatèt chak divizyon san sòlda. Li fè konte tout gason ki te gen ventan ak sa ki te gen ventan depase. Li fè kouche yo sou rejis. Li jwenn te gen twasanmil (300.000) sòlda ki te pi bon nan sèvi ak zam, ki te pare pou fè lagè, ki te gen ladrès pou sèvi ak frenn ak gwo plak pwotèj.
6 And he hired out of Israel, a hundred thousand heroes of valour, for a hundred talents of silver.
Lèfini, li pran sanmil (100.000) vanyan sòlda nan peyi Izrayèl, li peye yo chak twasan (300) kilo ajan pou yo goumen pou li.
7 But, a man of God, came unto him, saying, O king! let not the host of Israel come with thee, —for Yahweh is not with Israel, [with] any of the sons of Ephraim.
Men yon pwofèt Bondye vin di li: -Monwa, pa pran sòlda peyi Izrayèl sa yo ak ou nan lame a, paske Seyè a pa avèk moun peyi Izrayèl yo, avèk bann pitit Efrayim sa yo.
8 But, if thou art going, do, be strong for the battle, —God will cause thee to fall before the enemy, for there is strength in God, to help or to cause to fall.
Paske si ou konprann ou ka ranfòse lame ou la avèk moun sa yo pou ou al fè lagè, Bondye ap fè ou bese tèt devan lènmi ou yo, paske se Bondye ki gen pouvwa pou fè ou genyen osinon pou fè ou pèdi batay la.
9 And Amaziah said unto the man of God, What then shall be done as to the hundred talents, which I have given to the company of Israel? Then said the man of God, Yahweh is able to give thee much more than this.
Amasya mande pwofèt Bondye a: -Bon, sa k'ap rive twa san kilo ajan sa yo mwen deja bay sòlda peyi Izrayèl yo? Pwofèt la reponn li: -Seyè a ka renmèt ou plis pase sa!
10 So Amaziah separated them, [appointing] unto the company which had come unto him out of Ephraim, to depart unto their own place, —wherefore their anger was greatly kindled against Judah, so they returned to their own place, in a heat of anger.
Se konsa Amasya fè sòlda li te fè vini soti nan peyi Efrayim yo mete kò yo sou kote, li voye yo al fè wout yo lakay yo. Men sòlda sa yo te fache anpil sou moun peyi Jida yo poutèt sa. Yo tounen lakay yo byen move.
11 And, Amaziah, took courage, and led forth his people, and went to the valley of salt, —and smote of the sons of Seir, ten thousand;
Amasya mete gason sou li, li mennen lame li a nan Fon Sale a kote li touye dimil (10.000) moun mòn Seyi.
12 and the sons of Judah took captive, ten thousand alive, and brought to the top of the crag, —and cast them down from the top of the crag, and, all of them, were torn asunder.
Sòlda peyi Jida yo fè dimil (10.000) prizonye met sou sa. Yo pran yo, yo mennen yo sou tèt yon falèz, yo lage yo anba kote yo mouri kraze.
13 But, as for the sons of the company which Amaziah sent back from going with him to the war, they spread themselves out against the cities of Judah, from Samaria, even unto Beth-horon, —and smote of them three thousand, and took great plunder.
Men, sòlda Amasya te voye tounen lakay yo pou yo pa ale nan lagè ansanm avè l' yo, anvayi lavil peyi Jida yo, depi lavil Samari rive lavil Bètowon. Yo touye twamil (3.000) moun, yo pran yon pakèt bagay pote ale.
14 And so it was, after Amaziah came in from smiting the Edomites, that he brought in the gods of the sons of Seir, and set them up for himself, as gods, —and, before them, used he to bow himself down, and, unto them, used he to burn a perfume.
Lè Amasya t'ap tounen apre li fin kraze moun peyi Edon yo, li pran bondye moun mòn Seyi yo avè l'. Li fè yo tounen bondye pa l', li sèvi yo, li boule lansan pou yo.
15 Then was kindled the anger of Yahweh, against Amaziah, —and he sent unto him a prophet, and said unto him, Wherefore hast thou sought the gods of the people, which delivered not their own people out of thy hand?
Seyè a fache kont Amasya. Li voye yon pwofèt pou di l' konsa: -Poukisa koulye a ou pran sèvi bondye yon pèp ki pa t' ka sove pèp sa a anba men ou?
16 And it came to pass, as he spake unto him, that he said to him, To be, counselor to the king, have we appointed thee? forbear thou, wherefore should they smite thee? So the prophet forbare, and said—I know that God hath determined to destroy thee, because thou hast done this, and hast not hearkened unto my counsel.
Amasya koupe l' lapawòl, li di li: -Depi kilè mwen te nonmen ou konseye wa a? Pe la, si ou pa bezwen m' fè yo wonpi ou! Pwofèt la rete sou sa l' t'ap di a, men li di: -Koulye a mwen konnen Bondye pran desizyon pou l' fini avè ou vre, paske ou fè sa ou fè a, epi ou pa vle koute konsèy mwen.
17 Then Amaziah king of Judah took counsel, and sent unto Joash, son of Jehoahaz son of Jehu king of Israel, saying, —Come, let us look one another in the face!
Men Amasya, wa peyi Jida a, koute konsèy lòt moun, li voye misyon bay Joas, pitit Joakaz, pitit pitit Jeou, wa peyi Izrayèl la, li di l': -Vini non! Ann wè sa ki pi fò!
18 And Joash king of Israel sent unto Amaziah king of Judah, saying, A thistle that was in Lebanon, sent unto a cedar that was in Lebanon, saying, Come! give thy daughter unto my son to wife, —but there passed by a beast of the field that was in Lebanon, and trampled down the thistle.
Men, Joas voye reponn li: -Yon jou, yon pye pikan ki te sou mòn Liban an voye yon misyon bay yon pye sèd. Li di l': Bay pitit gason m' lan pitit fi ou la pou l' marye avè l'. Yon bèt bwa pase bò la, li kraze pye pikan an.
19 Thou hast said-Lo! thou hast smitten the Edomites, and thy heart hath lifted thee up to display honour, -Now, abide in thine own house, wherefore shouldst thou engage in strife with Misfortune, and fall, thou and Judah with thee?
Amasya, ou di ou kraze moun peyi Edon yo, koulye a, ou kite lògèy vire tèt ou. Men pito ou rete chita lakay ou tande! Poukisa pou w'ap chache traka bay kò ou epi pou sa pase mal ni pou ou, ni pou peyi Jida a?
20 But Amaziah hearkened not, because, from God, it was, to the end he might deliver them up into [their enemies’] hand, —because they had sought the gods of Edom.
Men Amasya derefize koute l'. Paske se te volonte Bondye pou l' te lage l' nan men Joas poutèt li te pran sèvi bondye pèp Edon yo.
21 So Joash king of Israel came up, and they looked one another in the face, he, and Amaziah king of Judah, —in Beth-shemesh, which belongeth unto Judah.
Se konsa Joas soti ak lame li pou l' al goumen ak Amasya bò lavil Bètchemès, nan peyi Jida.
22 Then was Judah defeated, before Israel, —and they fled every man to his own home;
Lame Izrayèl la bat lame Jida a byen bat. Tout sòlda peyi Jida yo vole gaye, yo kouri al lakay yo.
23 and, Amaziah king of Judah, son of Joash son of Jehoahaz, was taken by Joash king of Israel, in Beth-shemesh, —and he brought him to Jerusalem, and brake down the wall of Jerusalem, from the gate of Ephraim as far as the corner-gate, four hundred cubits;
Joas, wa peyi Izrayèl la, fe Amasya, pitit Joas, pitit pitit Joakaz, wa peyi Jida a, prizonye lavil Bètchemès. Lèfini, li mache sou lavil Jerizalèm. Li kraze miray lavil la sou yon longè ki pran depi nan pòtay Efrayim lan rive jouk bò pòtay Kwen an. Sa te fè antou 180 mèt nan miray la.
24 and, all the gold and the silver and all the utensils that were found in the house of God with Obed-edom, and the treasures of the house of the king, and hostages, he took, -and returned to Samaria.
Li pran dènye bagay an lò ak an ajan li jwenn, tou sa ki te nan Tanp Seyè a sou kont Obèd-Edon, ak tout richès ki te nan palè a, san konte kantite moun li te fè prizonye tankou yon garanti. Apre sa, li tounen tounen l' lavil Samari.
25 And Amaziah son of Joash king of Judah lived, after the death of Joash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel, —fifteen years.
Amasya, wa peyi Jida a, te viv kenzan ankò apre lanmò Joas, pitit Joakaz, wa peyi Izrayèl la.
26 Now, the rest of the story of Amaziah, first and last, lo! it is written in the book of the Kings of Judah and Israel.
Tout rès istwa Amasya a, depi premye jou li te moute wa a rive jouk dènye jou a, tou sa ekri nan liv Istwa Wa peyi Izrayèl yo.
27 And, after the time that Amaziah turned away from following Yahweh, they made against him a conspiracy in Jerusalem, and he fled to Lachish, —but they sent after him to Lachish, and slew him there.
Depi lè Amasya te lage pye Seyè a, yo t'ap fè konplo sou do l' lavil Jerizalèm. Bout pou bout, li kouri al kache lavil lakis. Men, yo voye dèyè l' jouk lavil lakis, yo pran l', yo touye l'.
28 And they brought him on horses, -and buried him with his fathers, in the city of Judah.
Lèfini yo pote kadav li sou chwal lavil Jerizalèm. Yo antere l' nan tonm wa yo nan lavil David la.
