2 Chronicles 12
1 When the kingdom of Rehoboam was established and he was strong, he abandoned Yahweh’s law, and all Israel with him.
Lè wayòm a Roboam nan te fin etabli e li te gen fòs, li menm ak tout Israël avèk li te abandone lalwa SENYÈ a.
2 In the fifth year of King Rehoboam, Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem, because they had trespassed against Yahweh,
Konsa, li te vin rive nan senkyèm ane a Roboam nan, akoz yo pa t fidèl a SENYÈ a, ke Schischak, wa Égypte la, te monte kont Jérusalem,
3 with twelve hundred chariots and sixty thousand horsemen. The people were without number who came with him out of Egypt: the Lubim, the Sukkiim, and the Ethiopians.
avèk mil-de-san cha ak swasann-di-mil chevalye. Epi moun ki te vini avèk li soti an Égypte yo te depase kontwòl: Libyen yo, Sikyen ak Etyopyen yo.
4 He took the fortified cities which belonged to Judah, and came to Jerusalem.
Li te kaptire vil fòtifye Juda yo, e li te rive jis Jérusalem.
5 Now Shemaiah the prophet came to Rehoboam and to the princes of Judah, who were gathered together to Jerusalem because of Shishak, and said to them, “Yahweh says, ‘You have forsaken me, therefore I have also left you in the hand of Shishak.’”
Epi Schemaeja, pwofèt la, te vin kote Roboam avèk chèf Juda ki te rasanble nan Jérusalem akoz Schischak yo, e li te di yo: “Konsa pale SENYÈ a: ‘Ou te abandone Mwen, e pou sa, Mwen te abandone ou bay Schischak.’”
6 Then the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves; and they said, “Yahweh is righteous.”
Pou sa, chèf Israël yo avèk wa a te imilye yo. Yo te di: “SENYÈ a jis.”
7 When Yahweh saw that they humbled themselves, Yahweh’s word came to Shemaiah, saying, “They have humbled themselves. I will not destroy them, but I will grant them some deliverance, and my wrath won’t be poured out on Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak.
Lè SENYÈ a te wè ke yo te imilye yo, pawòl SENYÈ a te vini a Schemaeja, e te di: “Yo te imilye yo. Pou sa, Mwen p ap detwi yo, men Mwen va ba yo yon mezi delivrans, e lakòlè Mwen p ap vide sou Jérusalem pa mwayen a Schischak.
8 Nevertheless they will be his servants, that they may know my service, and the service of the kingdoms of the countries.”
Men yo va devni esklav li, pou yo kab vin konprann antre sèvi Mwen ak sèvi wayòm lòt peyi yo.”
9 So Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem and took away the treasures of Yahweh’s house and the treasures of the king’s house. He took it all away. He also took away the shields of gold which Solomon had made.
Konsa Schischak, wa Égypte la, te monte kont Jérusalem, e li te pran tout trezò lakay SENYÈ a ak trezò nan palè wa a. Li te pran tout bagay.
10 King Rehoboam made shields of bronze in their place, and committed them to the hands of the captains of the guard, who kept the door of the king’s house.
Konsa, Wa Roboam te fè boukliye defans an bwonz pou ranplase yo, e li te mete yo anba pwotèj a kòmandan gad ki te gadyen pòtay lakay wa yo.
11 As often as the king entered into Yahweh’s house, the guard came and bore them, then brought them back into the guard room.
Depi wa a te antre lakay SENYÈ a, gad yo te pote yo vini, e apre, yo te mennen yo tounen nan chanm gad yo.
12 When he humbled himself, Yahweh’s wrath turned from him, so as not to destroy him altogether. Moreover, there were good things found in Judah.
Epi lè li te fin imilye li, lakòlè SENYÈ a te vire kite li, pou l pa ta detwi nèt; epi anplis, tout bagay te mache byen an Juda.
13 So King Rehoboam strengthened himself in Jerusalem and reigned; for Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which Yahweh had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel to put his name there. His mother’s name was Naamah the Ammonitess.
Konsa, Wa Roboam te ranfòse tèt li Jérusalem, e li te renye. Alò, Roboam te gen laj karanteyen ane lè li te kòmanse renye, e li te renye di-sèt-ane Jérusalem, vil ke SENYÈ a te chwazi soti nan tout tribi Israël yo pou mete non Li an. Epi non manman li te Naama, Amoreyèn nan.
14 He did that which was evil, because he didn’t set his heart to seek Yahweh.
Li te fè mal, paske li pa t aplike kè l pou konnen SENYÈ a.
15 Now the acts of Rehoboam, first and last, aren’t they written in the histories of Shemaiah the prophet and of Iddo the seer, in the genealogies? There were wars between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.
Alò, zèv a Roboam yo, soti nan premye a jis rive nan dènye a, èske yo pa ekri nan rekò a Schemaeja yo, pwofèt a Iddo a, konseye a, selon anrejistreman zansèt yo? Epi te gen lagè kont Roboam avèk Jéroboam tout tan.
16 Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried in David’s city; and Abijah his son reigned in his place.
Konsa, Roboam te dòmi avèk zansèt li yo, e li te antere nan lavil David la. Epi fis li a, Abija te vin wa nan plas li.
