2 Istwa 16

1 Wa Asa te gen trannsenkan depi li t'ap gouvènen, lè Bacha, wa peyi Izrayèl la, anvayi peyi Jida. Li pran lavil Rama, li plen l' sòlda pa l' pou anpeche moun Asa yo pase antre soti nan peyi Jida.

In the sixe and thirtieth yeere of the reigne of Asa came Baasha king of Israel vp against Iudah, and built Ramah to let none passe out or goe in to Asa king of Iudah.

2 Lè wa Asa wè sa, li pran bagay an lò ak bagay an ajan ki te nan tanp lan ak nan palè a, li renmèt yo nan men kèk moun pa l', li voye yo bò kote Bennadad, wa peyi Siri, ki te rete lavil Damas, ak mesaj sa a:

Then Asa brought out siluer and gold out of the treasures of the house of the Lord, and of the Kings house, and sent to Benhadad King of Aram that dwelt at Damascus, saying,

3 -Annou pase kontra yonn ak lòt, tankou zansèt nou yo te fè l' la. Men mwen voye bagay an lò ak bagay an ajan sa yo fè ou kado. Koulye a, kase kontra ou te pase ak Bacha, wa peyi Izrayèl la. Konsa, l'a blije wete sòlda li yo nan peyi mwen an.

There is a couenant betweene me and thee, and betweene my father and thy father: behold, I haue sent thee siluer and golde: come, breake thy league with Baasha King of Israel that hee may depart from me.

4 Wa Bennadad dakò avèk sa wa Asa te di l' la. Li voye chèf lame li yo al atake lavil peyi Izrayèl yo. Yo pran lavil Ijon, lavil Dann, lavil Abèl Mayim ak tout lavil nan pòsyon tè branch fanmi Neftali a ki te sèvi depo.

And Benhadad hearkened vnto King Asa, and sent the captaines of the armies which hee had, against the cities of Israel. And they smote Iion, and Dan, and Abel-maim, and all the store cities of Naphtali.

5 Lè Bacha vin konn sa, li wete tout sòlda li te kite nan lavil Rama yo, li sispann travay li t'ap fè pou ranfòse miray lavil la.

And when Baasha heard it, he left building of Ramah, and let his worke cease.

6 Lè sa a, wa Asa fè rele dènye moun nan peyi Jida pou wete wòch ak bwa wa Bacha te fè anpile pou ranfòse miray ranpa lavil Rama a. Wa Asa sèvi ak materyo sa yo pou ranfòse miray lavil Mispa ak miray lavil Gibeya.

Then Asa the King tooke all Iudah, and caryed away the stones of Ramah and the tymber thereof, wherewith Baasha did builde, and he built therewith Geba and Mizpah.

7 Lè sa a, pwofèt Anani vin jwenn Asa, wa peyi Jida a, li di l' konsa: -Se paske ou te pito mete konfyans ou nan lame wa peyi Siri a pase nan Seyè a, Bondye ou la, kifè lame wa peyi Siri a chape anba men ou.

And at that same time Hanani the Seer came to Asa King of Iudah, and saide vnto him, Because thou hast rested vpon the king of Aram, and not rested in the Lord thy God, therefore is the hoste of the King of Aram escaped out of thine hande.

8 Eske moun Letiopi yo ak moun Libi yo ansanm pa t' fè yon gwo lame ak anpil cha lagè, anpil kavalye sou chwal? Malgre sa, Seyè a te lage yo nan men ou paske ou te mete konfyans ou nan li.

The Ethiopians and the Lubims, were they not a great hoste with charets and horsemen, exceeding many? yet because thou diddest rest vpon the Lord, he deliuered them into thine had.

9 Seyè a ap veye tou sa k'ap pase sou latè. Li pa kite anyen chape pou l' ka bay moun ki mete tout konfyans yo nan li fòs ak kouraj. Men fwa sa a, ou resi pèdi tèt ou. Ou aji tankou moun fou. Se poutèt sa moun pral fè ou lagè san rete.

For the eyes of the Lord beholde all the earth to shewe him selfe strong with them that are of perfite heart towarde him: thou hast then done foolishly in this: therefore from henceforth thou shalt haue warres.

10 Koze sa a te fè Asa fache anpil sou pwofèt la. Li fè yo fèmen l' nan prizon. Se depi lè sa a Asa konmanse ap maltrete kèk moun nan pèp la.

Then Asa was wroth with the Seer, and put him into a prison: for he was displeased with him, because of this thing. And Asa oppressed certaine of the people at the same time.

11 Tou sa wa Asa te fè depi premye jou li moute wa a rive jouk dènye jou a, nou jwenn sa ekri nan liv Istwa wa peyi Jida yo ak wa peyi Izrayèl yo.

And behold, the actes of Asa first and last, loe, they are written in the booke of the Kings of Iudah and Israel.

12 Asa te gen trantnevan depi li te wa, lè yon gwo maladi nan pye rann li enfim. Malgre sa, li pa t' al chache gerizon nan men Seyè a. Li te pito al kay dòktè.

And Asa in the nine and thirtieth yeere of his reigne was diseased in his feete, and his disease was extreme: yet he sought not the Lord in his disease, but to the Phisicions.

13 Lè li mouri, li t'ap mache sou karanteyennan depi li te wa.

So Asa slept with his fathers, and dyed in the one and fourtieth yeere of his reigne.

14 Yo antere l' nan kavo li te fè fouye pou tèt pa li nan lavil David la. Yo mete kadav la kouche sou yon payas fèt ak fèy santi bon ak tout kalite bon odè yo te pare jan yo konn fè l' la. Apre sa, yo limen yon gwo boukan pou li.

And they buryed him in one of his sepulchres, which he had made for him selfe in the citie of Dauid, and layed him in the bed, which they had filled with sweete odours and diuers kindes of spices made by the arte of the apoticarie: and they burnt odours for him with an exceeding great fire.
