2 Kings 14
1 In the second year of Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, the king of Israel: Amaziah, the son of Jehoash, reigned as king of Judah.
Wa Joas, pitit gason Joakaz la, t'ap mache sou dezan depi li t'ap gouvènen peyi Izrayèl lè Amasya, pitit Joas, moute wa nan peyi Jida.
2 He was twenty-five years old when he had begun to reign. And he reigned for twenty-nine years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Jehoaddin from Jerusalem.
Li te gen vennsenkan lè sa a. Li gouvènen nan lavil Jerizalèm pandan ventnevan. Manman l' te rele Jeojadan. Se te yon moun lavil Jerizalèm.
3 And he did what is right before the Lord, yet truly, not like David, his father. He acted in accord with all the things that his father Jehoash did,
Li te fè sa ki dwat devan Seyè a, men pa tankou David, zansèt li a. Li te fè menm jan ak Joas, papa l'.
4 except for this alone: he did not take away the high places. For still the people were immolating, and burning incense, in the high places.
Tansèlman, li pa t' kraze tanp bondye lòt nasyon yo, kifè moun yo te toujou al touye bèt, boule lansan nan tanp sa yo.
5 And when he had obtained the kingdom, he struck down those of his servants who had killed his father, the king.
Lè Amasya santi li byen chita sou pouvwa a, li fè touye tout chèf nan lame a ki te touye papa l'.
6 But the sons of those who had been killed he did not put to death, in accord with what was written in the book of the law of Moses, just as the Lord instructed, saying: “The fathers shall not die for the sons, and the sons shall not die for the fathers. Instead, each one shall die for his own sin.”
Men, li pa t' manyen pitit ansasen sa yo, paske, dapre sa ki ekri nan liv lalwa Moyiz la, Seyè a te di: Papa pa gen dwa peye pou sa pitit li yo fè, ni pitit pa gen dwa peye pou sa papa yo fè. Chak moun va peye pou sa yo fè.
7 He struck down ten thousand men of Idumea, in the Valley of the Salt Pits. And he captured ‘the Rock’ in battle, and he called its name ‘Subdued by God,’ even to the present day.
Amasya te touye dimil (10.000) sòlda peyi Edon nan fon Sale a. Li goumen jouk li pran lavil Sela. Li rele l' Jokteyèl, non ki rete pou li jouk jounen jòdi a.
8 Then Amaziah sent messengers to Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, the king of Israel, saying: “Come, and let us see one another.”
Apre sa, Amasya voye misyon bay Joas, pitit Joakaz, pitit pitit Jeou, wa peyi Izrayèl la, li mande l' batay.
9 And Joash, the king of Israel, sent a reply to Amaziah, the king of Judah, saying: “A thistle of Lebanon sent to a cedar, which is in Lebanon, saying: ‘Give your daughter as wife to my son.’ And the beasts of the forest, which are in Lebanon, passed by and trampled the thistle.
Joas voye reponn li: —Yon lè, yon touf pikan ki te sou mòn Liban voye yon misyon bay pye sèd la. Li di l' konsa: Bay pitit gason m' lan pitit fi ou la pou l' marye avè l'. Yon bèt nan bwa pase bò la, li kraze touf pikan an.
10 You have struck and prevailed over Idumea. And your heart has lifted you up. Be content with your own glory, and be seated in your own house. Why would you provoke evil, so that you would fall, and Judah with you?”
Se pou m' di ou, Amasya, ou kraze moun peyi Edon yo. Koulye a, ou santi ou gwonèg anpil. M' byen kontan pou ou. Gonfle lestonmak ou jan ou kapab, men rete sou sa ou fè a. Poukisa pou w'ap chache traka bay kò ou pou sa pase mal ni pou ou ni pou peyi Jida a?
11 But Amaziah was not quieted. And so Joash, the king of Israel, went up. And he and Amaziah, the king of Judah, saw one another at Beth-shemesh, a town in Judah.
Men, Amasya derefize koute l'. Se konsa, Joas soti ak lame li pou l' al goumen ak Amasya bò lavil Betchemèch nan peyi Jida.
12 And Judah was struck down before Israel, and they fled, each to their own tents.
Lame Izrayèl la bat lame Jida a byen bat. Tout sòlda peyi Jida yo vole gagè, y' al lakay yo.
13 And truly, Joash, the king of Israel, captured Amaziah, the king of Judah, the son of Jehoash, the son of Ahaziah, at Beth-shemesh. And he brought him to Jerusalem. And he breached the wall of Jerusalem, from the gate of Ephraim as far as the gate of the Corner, four hundred cubits.
Joas, wa peyi Izrayèl la, fè Amasya, wa peyi Jida a, prizonye lavil Bètchemèch. Lèfini li mache sou lavil Jerizalèm, li kraze miray ranpa lavil la depi nan Pòtay Efrayim rive bò Pòtay Kwen an sou yon longè sankatreven mèt antou.
14 And he took away all the gold and silver, and all the vessels, which were found in the house of the Lord and in the treasuries of the king, and he returned to Samaria with hostages.
Li pran dènye bagay an lò ak an ajan li jwenn, tou sa ki te nan Tanp Seyè a ak tout richès ki te nan palè wa a. Li pote yo avè l' lavil Samari, san konte kantite moun li te fè prizonye sou kondisyon.
15 But the rest of the words of Joash, which he accomplished, and his strength, with which he fought against Amaziah, the king of Judah, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?
Tout rès istwa Joas la, tou sa li te fè, jan li te vanyan sòlda lè li t'ap goumen ak Amasya, wa peyi Jida a, nou jwenn tou sa ekri nan liv Istwa wa peyi Izrayèl yo.
16 And Joash slept with his fathers, and he was buried in Samaria, with the kings of Israel. And Jeroboam, his son, reigned in his place.
Lè Joas mouri, yo antere l' lavil Samari nan kavo wa Izrayèl yo. Se Jewoboram, pitit gason l' lan, ki moute wa nan plas li.
17 Now Amaziah, the son of Jehoash, the king of Judah, lived for fifteen years after the death of Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, the king of Israel.
Amasya, pitit Joas, wa peyi Jida a, te viv kenzan ankò apre lanmò Joas, pitit Joakaz, wa peyi Izrayèl la.
18 And the rest of the words of Amaziah, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah?
Tout rès istwa Amasya a ekri nan liv Istwa wa peyi Jida yo.
19 And they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem. And he fled to Lachish. And they sent after him, to Lachish, and they killed him there.
Yo moute yon konplo lavil Jerizalèm pou yo touye Amasya. Se konsa Amasya kouri al kache lavil Lakis. Men, lènmi l' yo rapouswiv li, yo touye l'.
20 And they carried him away on horses. And he was buried in Jerusalem with his fathers, in the city of David.
Apre sa, yo mete kadav li sou chwal, yo tounen avè l' lavil Jerizalèm, yo antere l' lavil David la nan kavo zansèt li yo.
21 Then all the people of Judah took Azariah, at sixteen years from birth, and they appointed him as king in place of his father, Amaziah.
Tout pèp peyi Jida a pran Azarya, pitit gason Amasya a, yo fè l' wa nan plas papa l'. Azarya te gen sèzan lè sa a.
22 He built up Elath, and he restored it to Judah, after which the king slept with his fathers.
Se li menm ki reprann lavil Elat, li fè l' tounen anba otorite wa Jida a, apre lanmò papa l'.
23 In the fifteenth year of Amaziah, the son of Jehoash, the king of Judah: Jeroboam, the son of Joash, the king of Israel, reigned, in Samaria, for forty-one years.
Amasya, pitit Joas, t'ap mache sou kenzan depi li t'ap gouvènen peyi Jida lè Jewoboram, pitit Joas, wa peyi Izrayèl la, moute wa nan plas papa l'. Li gouvènen nan lavil Samari pandan karanteyen an.
24 And he did what is evil before the Lord. He did not withdraw from all the sins of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin.
Men li fè sa ki mal nan je Seyè a, li te lage kò l' nan fè menm peche ak Jewoboram, pitit Nebat la, li lakòz pèp Izrayèl la peche tou.
25 He restored the borders of Israel, from the entrance of Hamath as far as the Sea of the Wilderness, in accord with the word of the Lord, the God of Israel, which he spoke through his servant, the prophet Jonah, the son of Amittai, who was from Gath, which is in Hepher.
Se Jewoboram ki reprann tout zòn ki te pou peyi Izrayèl la depi nan Pas Amat la nan nò, rive Lanmè Mouri a nan sid, jan Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, te bay Jonas, sèvitè l' la, mesaj la. Jonas sa a, pitit Amitayi, te yon pwofèt lavil Gatefè.
26 For the Lord saw the exceedingly bitter affliction of Israel, and that they were being consumed, even to those who were enclosed in prison, and even to the least ones, and that there was no one who would help Israel.
Seyè a te wè jan pèp Izrayèl la t'ap soufri anpil. Tout moun, jenn gason kou granmoun, t'ap pase pa yo. Pa t'gen pyès moun pou pote yo sekou.
27 But the Lord did not say that he would wipe away the name of Israel from under heaven. So instead, he saved them by the hand of Jeroboam, the son of Joash.
Se konsa, li voye Jewoboram, pitit Joas la, pou vin delivre yo, paske se pa t' janm lide l' pou l' te disparèt yo sou latè.
28 But the rest of the words of Jeroboam, and all that he did, and his strength, with which he went to battle, and the manner in which he restored Damascus and Hamath to Judah, in Israel, have these not been written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?
Tout rès istwa Jewoboram lan, tou sa li fè, jan li te vanyan sòlda lè li t'ap fè lagè, jan li te fè lavil Damas ak lavil Amat soti anba men moun Jida yo tounen anba otorite wa Izrayèl la, n'a jwenn tou sa ekri nan liv Istwa wa Izrayèl yo.
29 And Jeroboam slept with his fathers, the kings of Israel. And Zechariah, his son, reigned in his place.
Lè Jewoboram mouri, yo antere l' menm kote ak tout wa Izrayèl yo. Se Zakari, pitit li, ki moute wa nan plas li.
