2 Chronicles 15
1 And the Spirit of God came upon Azariah the son of Oded.
Lespri Bondye te desann sou Azarya, pitit Obèd.
2 And he went out to meet Asa, and said to him, Hear ye me, Asa, and all Judah and Benjamin: Jehovah is with you while ye are with him; and if ye seek him he will be found of you, but if ye 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 Now for a long while Israel [was] without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without 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 in their trouble they turned to Jehovah the God of Israel, and sought him, and he was 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 those times there [was] no peace to him that went out nor to him that came in, but great disturbances were amongst all the inhabitants of the countries.
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 was broken against nation, and city against city; for God disturbed them with all manner of distress.
Nasyon t'ap kraze nasyon, yon lavil t'ap detwi yon lòt lavil, paske Bondye te lage tout kalite malè sou yo.
7 But as for you, be firm and let not your hands be weak; for there is a reward for your deeds.
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 prophecy of Oded the prophet, he took courage, and put away the abominations out of all the land of Judah and Benjamin, and out of the cities that he had taken from mount Ephraim, and renewed the altar of Jehovah, that was before the porch of Jehovah.
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 all Judah and Benjamin, and the strangers with them out of Ephraim and Manasseh, and out of Simeon; for they fell away to him out of Israel in abundance, when they saw that Jehovah 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 themselves at Jerusalem in the third month of 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 they sacrificed to Jehovah in that day, of the spoil that they had brought, seven hundred oxen 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 they entered into a covenant to seek Jehovah the 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 would not seek Jehovah the God of Israel should be put to death, whether small or great, 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 Jehovah with a loud voice, and with shouting, 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 Judah rejoiced at the oath; for they took the oath with all their heart, and sought him with their whole desire; and he was found of them. And Jehovah 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 also Maachah, the mother of Asa the king, he removed from being queen, because she had made an idol for the Asherah; and Asa cut down her idol, and stamped it, and burned it in the valley Kidron.
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 But the high places were not removed from Israel; only, Asa's heart 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 into the house of God the things which his father had dedicated, and the things which he himself had dedicated, 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 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.
