Chronicles II 15
1 And Azarias the son of Oded—upon him came the Spirit of the Lord,
Lespri Bondye te desann sou Azarya, pitit Obèd.
2 and he went out to meet Asa, and all Juda and Benjamin, and said, Hear me, Asa, and all Juda and Benjamin. The Lord [is] with you, while you are with him; and if you seek him out, he will be found of you; but if you forsake him, he will forsake you.
Azarya soti al kontre wa Asa, li di l' konsa: -Koute sa m'ap di nou, ou menm Asa ansanm ak tout moun fanmi Jida ak fanmi Benjamen yo! Seyè a ap kanpe ak nou si nou menm tou nou kanpe avè l'. Si nou chache l', l'ap kite nou jwenn li. Men, si nou vire do ba li, l'ap vire do ban nou tou.
3 And Israel [has been] a long time without the true God, and without a priest to expound [the truth], and without the law.
Pandan lontan, pèp Izrayèl la t'ap viv san Bondye tout bon an, san prèt pou moutre yo sa pou yo fè, san lalwa Bondye a.
4 But he shall turn them to the Lord God of Israel, and he will be found of them.
Men, lè malè tonbe sou yo, yo tounen nan pye Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la. Yo chache l', li kite yo jwenn li.
5 And in that time there is no peace to one going out, or to one coming in, for the terror of the Lord is upon all that inhabit the lands.
Nan tan sa yo, pesonn pa t' ka okipe zafè yo ak kè poze, paske te gen gwo dezòd pou tout moun nan tout peyi.
6 And nation shall fight against nation, and city against city; for God has confounded them with every [kind of] affliction.
Nasyon t'ap kraze nasyon, yon lavil t'ap detwi yon lòt lavil, paske Bondye te lage tout kalite malè sou yo.
7 But be you strong, and let not your hands be weakened: for there is a reward for your work.
Men nou menm, mete gason sou nou! Pa dekouraje, paske n'ap jwenn rekonpans travay nou.
8 And when [Asa] heard these words, and the prophesy of Adad the prophet, then he strengthened himself, and cast out the abominations from all the land of Juda and Benjamin, and from the cities which Jeroboam possessed, in mount Ephraim, and he renewed the altar of the Lord, which was before the temple of the Lord.
Lè Asa tande mesaj pitit Obèd la te bay nan non Bondye, li pran kouraj. Li fè yo wete dènye vye zidòl ki te nan peyi moun Jida yo ak nan peyi moun Benjamen yo, ansanm ak tout zidòl ki te nan lavil li te pran nan zòn mòn Efrayim yo. Li repare lotèl Seyè a ki te kanpe nan lakou devan gwo pyès Tanp Seyè a.
9 And he assembled Juda and Benjamin, and the strangers that lived with him, of Ephraim, and of Manasse, and of Symeon: for many of Israel were joined to him, when they saw that the Lord his God was with him.
Anpil moun soti toupatou nan peyi Efrayim, nan peyi Manase ak nan peyi Simeyon, yo vin jwenn Asa. Yo t'ap viv nan peyi a sou zòd li, paske yo te wè Seyè a te kanpe la avè l'. Asa reyini yo tout ansanm ak tout moun Jida yo ak moun Benjamen yo.
10 And they assembled at Jerusalem in the third month, in the fifteenth year of the reign of Asa.
Yo tout reyini lavil Jerizalèm. Lè sa a, Asa te gen katòzan twa mwa depi li te wa.
11 And he sacrificed to the Lord in that day of the spoils which they brought, seven hundred calves and seven thousand sheep.
Jou sa a, yo pran sètsan (700) bèf ak sètmil (7.000) mouton nan tou sa yo te pran nan men lènmi yo, yo touye yo pou Seyè a.
12 And he entered into a covenant that they should seek the Lord God of their fathers with all their heart and with all their soul.
Yo pran angajman pou yo sèvi Seyè a, Bondye zansèt yo a, ak tout kè yo, ak tout nanm yo.
13 And that whoever should not seek the Lord God of Israel, should die, whether young or old, whether man or woman.
Yo pwomèt pou yo touye nenpòt moun, kit se fanm kit se gason, kit se granmoun kit se jennmoun, ki pa soti pou sèvi Seyè a.
14 And they swore to the Lord with a loud voice, and with trumpets, and with cornets.
Yo fè sèman bay Seyè a byen fò y'ap kenbe angajman yo. Yo te kontan, yo t'ap rele, yo t'ap kònen twonpèt ak klewon.
15 And all Juda rejoiced concerning the oath: for they swore with all their heart, and they sought him with all their desires; and he was found of them: and the Lord gave them rest round about.
Tout moun peyi Jida yo te kontan, paske yo te fè sèman an ak tout kè yo. San pesonn pa fòse yo, yo te soti pou yo te chache konnen volonte Seyè a. Seyè a menm te kite yo jwenn li. Li fè yo viv ak kè poze ak tout moun nan vwazinaj yo.
16 And he removed Maacha his mother from being priestess to Astarte; and he cut down the idol, and burnt it in the brook of Kedron.
Wa Asa menm rive wete Maka, grann li, nan pozisyon yo te ba li tankou manman Larenn nan peyi a, paske Maka te fè yon vye estati pou Achera. Asa kraze estati a an miyèt moso, li fè boule l' nan ravin Sedwon an.
17 Nevertheless they removed not the high places: they still existed in Israel: nevertheless the heart of Asa was perfect all his days.
Atout li pa t' rive fè disparèt tout kay zidòl yo, li menm li te toujou sèvi Seyè a ak tout kè li pandan lavi li.
18 And he brought in the holy things of David his father, and the holy things of the house of God, silver, and gold, and vessels.
Li pran tou sa papa l' te bay pou sèvis Bondye a, li mete yo nan Tanp lan ak tout bagay an lò ak an ajan li menm li te bay pou Bondye.
19 And there was no war [waged] with him until the thirty-fifth year of the reign of Asa.
Pat gen lagè menm jouk wa Asa rive sou trannsenkan depi li t'ap gouvènen.
