2 Chronicles 25
1 Amasias was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned nine and twenty years in Jerusalem, the name of his mother was Joadan of Jerusalem.
Amasya te gen vennsenkan lè li moute wa. Li gouvènen lavil Jerizalèm pandan ventnevan. Manman l' te rele Jeojadan, moun lavil Jerizalèm.
2 And he did what was good in the sight of the Lord: but yet not with a perfect heart.
Amasya te fè sa ki dwat devan Seyè a, men pa ak tout kè li.
3 And when he saw himself strengthened in his kingdom, he put to death the servants that had slain the king his father.
Lè Amasya fin chita otorite l', li fè touye chèf lame ki t'ap sèvi avè l' yo epi ki te touye papa l'.
4 But he slew not their children, as it is written in the book of the law of Moses, where the Lord commanded, saying: The fathers shall not be slain for the children, nor the children for their fathers, but every man 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, Bondye te bay lòd sa a: Nou pa gen dwa touye yon papa pou krim pitit li fè. Ni nou pa gen dwa touye yon pitit pou krim papa l' te fè. Y'a touye yon moun pou krim li menm li fè.
5 Amasias therefore gathered Juda together, and appointed them by families, and captains of thousands and of hundreds in all Juda, and Benjamin: and he numbered them from twenty years old and upwards, and found three hundred thousand young men that could go out to battle, and could hold the spear and shield.
Amasya reyini tout gason nan branch fanmi Jida yo ak nan branch fanmi Benjamen yo, li moute yon lame, chak fanmi apa. Li mete yon chèf alatèt chak rejiman mil sòlda ak yon chèf alatèt chak divizyon san sòlda. Li fè konte tout gason ki te gen ventan ak sa ki te gen ventan depase. Li fè kouche yo sou rejis. Li jwenn te gen twasanmil (300.000) sòlda ki te pi bon nan sèvi ak zam, ki te pare pou fè lagè, ki te gen ladrès pou sèvi ak frenn ak gwo plak pwotèj.
6 He hired also of Israel a hundred thousand valiant men, for a hundred talents of silver.
Lèfini, li pran sanmil (100.000) vanyan sòlda nan peyi Izrayèl, li peye yo chak twasan (300) kilo ajan pou yo goumen pou li.
7 But a man of God came to him, and said: O king, let not the army of Israel go out with thee, for the Lord is not with Israel, and all the children of Ephraim:
Men yon pwofèt Bondye vin di li: -Monwa, pa pran sòlda peyi Izrayèl sa yo ak ou nan lame a, paske Seyè a pa avèk moun peyi Izrayèl yo, avèk bann pitit Efrayim sa yo.
8 And if thou think that battles consist in the strength of the army, God will make thee to be overcome by the enemies: for it belongeth to God both to help, and to put to flight.
Paske si ou konprann ou ka ranfòse lame ou la avèk moun sa yo pou ou al fè lagè, Bondye ap fè ou bese tèt devan lènmi ou yo, paske se Bondye ki gen pouvwa pou fè ou genyen osinon pou fè ou pèdi batay la.
9 And Amasias said to the man of God: What will then become of the hundred talents which I have given to the soldiers of Israeli and the man of God answered him: The Lord is rich enough to be able to give thee much more than this.
Amasya mande pwofèt Bondye a: -Bon, sa k'ap rive twa san kilo ajan sa yo mwen deja bay sòlda peyi Izrayèl yo? Pwofèt la reponn li: -Seyè a ka renmèt ou plis pase sa!
10 Then Amasias separated the army, that came to him out of Ephraim, to go home again: but they being much enraged against Juda, returned to their own country.
Se konsa Amasya fè sòlda li te fè vini soti nan peyi Efrayim yo mete kò yo sou kote, li voye yo al fè wout yo lakay yo. Men sòlda sa yo te fache anpil sou moun peyi Jida yo poutèt sa. Yo tounen lakay yo byen move.
11 And Amasias taking courage led forth his people, and went to the vale of saltpits, and slew of the children of Seir ten thousand.
Amasya mete gason sou li, li mennen lame li a nan Fon Sale a kote li touye dimil (10.000) moun mòn Seyi.
12 And other ten thousand men the sons of Juda took, and brought to the steep of a certain rock, and cast them down headlong from the top, and they all were broken to pieces.
Sòlda peyi Jida yo fè dimil (10.000) prizonye met sou sa. Yo pran yo, yo mennen yo sou tèt yon falèz, yo lage yo anba kote yo mouri kraze.
13 But that army which Amasias had sent back, that they should not go with him to battle, spread themselves among the cities of Juda, from Samaria to Beth-horon, and having killed three thousand took away much spoil.
Men, sòlda Amasya te voye tounen lakay yo pou yo pa ale nan lagè ansanm avè l' yo, anvayi lavil peyi Jida yo, depi lavil Samari rive lavil Bètowon. Yo touye twamil (3.000) moun, yo pran yon pakèt bagay pote ale.
14 But Amasias after he had slain the Edomites, set up the gods of the children of Seir, which he had brought thence, to be his gods, and adored them, and burnt incense to them.
Lè Amasya t'ap tounen apre li fin kraze moun peyi Edon yo, li pran bondye moun mòn Seyi yo avè l'. Li fè yo tounen bondye pa l', li sèvi yo, li boule lansan pou yo.
15 Wherefore the Lord being angry against Amasias, sent a prophet to him, to say to him: Why hast thou adored gods that have not delivered their own people out of thy hand?
Seyè a fache kont Amasya. Li voye yon pwofèt pou di l' konsa: -Poukisa koulye a ou pran sèvi bondye yon pèp ki pa t' ka sove pèp sa a anba men ou?
16 And when he spoke these things, he answered him: Art thou the king’s counsellor? be quiet, lest I kill thee. And the prophet departing, said: I know that God is minded to kill thee, because thou hast done this evil, and moreover hast not hearkened to my counsel.
Amasya koupe l' lapawòl, li di li: -Depi kilè mwen te nonmen ou konseye wa a? Pe la, si ou pa bezwen m' fè yo wonpi ou! Pwofèt la rete sou sa l' t'ap di a, men li di: -Koulye a mwen konnen Bondye pran desizyon pou l' fini avè ou vre, paske ou fè sa ou fè a, epi ou pa vle koute konsèy mwen.
17 Then Amasias king of Juda taking very bad counsel, sent to Joas the son of Joachaz the son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying: Come, let us see one another.
Men Amasya, wa peyi Jida a, koute konsèy lòt moun, li voye misyon bay Joas, pitit Joakaz, pitit pitit Jeou, wa peyi Izrayèl la, li di l': -Vini non! Ann wè sa ki pi fò!
18 But he sent back the messengers, saying: The thistle that is in Libanus, sent to the cedar in Libanus, saying: Give thy daughter to my son to wife: and behold the beasts that were in the wood of Libanus passed by, and trod down the thistle.
Men, Joas voye reponn li: -Yon jou, yon pye pikan ki te sou mòn Liban an voye yon misyon bay yon pye sèd. Li di l': Bay pitit gason m' lan pitit fi ou la pou l' marye avè l'. Yon bèt bwa pase bò la, li kraze pye pikan an.
19 Thou hast said: I have overthrown Edom, and therefore thy heart is lifted up with pride: stay at home, why dost thou provoke evil against thee, that both thou shouldst fall and Juda with thee.
Amasya, ou di ou kraze moun peyi Edon yo, koulye a, ou kite lògèy vire tèt ou. Men pito ou rete chita lakay ou tande! Poukisa pou w'ap chache traka bay kò ou epi pou sa pase mal ni pou ou, ni pou peyi Jida a?
20 Amasias would not hearken to him, because it was the Lord’s will that he should be delivered into the hands of enemies, because of the gods of Edom.
Men Amasya derefize koute l'. Paske se te volonte Bondye pou l' te lage l' nan men Joas poutèt li te pran sèvi bondye pèp Edon yo.
21 So Joas king of Israel went up, and they presented themselves to be seen by one another: and Amasias king of Juda was in Bethsames of Juda:
Se konsa Joas soti ak lame li pou l' al goumen ak Amasya bò lavil Bètchemès, nan peyi Jida.
22 And Juda fell before Israel and they fled to their dwellings.
Lame Izrayèl la bat lame Jida a byen bat. Tout sòlda peyi Jida yo vole gaye, yo kouri al lakay yo.
23 And Joas king of Israel took Amasias king of Juda, the son of Joas, the son Joachaz, in Bethsames, and brought him to Jerusalem: and broke down the walls thereof from the gate of Ephraim, to the gate of the corner, four hundred cubits.
Joas, wa peyi Izrayèl la, fe Amasya, pitit Joas, pitit pitit Joakaz, wa peyi Jida a, prizonye lavil Bètchemès. Lèfini, li mache sou lavil Jerizalèm. Li kraze miray lavil la sou yon longè ki pran depi nan pòtay Efrayim lan rive jouk bò pòtay Kwen an. Sa te fè antou 180 mèt nan miray la.
24 And he took all the gold, and silver, and all the vessels, that he found in the house of God, and with Obededom, and in the treasures of the king’s house, moreover also the sons of the hostages, he brought back to Samaria.
Li pran dènye bagay an lò ak an ajan li jwenn, tou sa ki te nan Tanp Seyè a sou kont Obèd-Edon, ak tout richès ki te nan palè a, san konte kantite moun li te fè prizonye tankou yon garanti. Apre sa, li tounen tounen l' lavil Samari.
25 And Amasias the son of Joas king of Juda lived, after the death of Joas the son of Joachaz king of Israel, fifteen years.
Amasya, wa peyi Jida a, te viv kenzan ankò apre lanmò Joas, pitit Joakaz, wa peyi Izrayèl la.
26 Now the rest of the acts of Amasias, the first and last, are written in the book of the kings of Juda and Israel.
Tout rès istwa Amasya a, depi premye jou li te moute wa a rive jouk dènye jou a, tou sa ekri nan liv Istwa Wa peyi Izrayèl yo.
27 And after he revolted from the Lord, they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem. And he fled into Lachis, and they sent, and killed him there.
Depi lè Amasya te lage pye Seyè a, yo t'ap fè konplo sou do l' lavil Jerizalèm. Bout pou bout, li kouri al kache lavil lakis. Men, yo voye dèyè l' jouk lavil lakis, yo pran l', yo touye l'.
28 And they brought him back upon horses, and buried him with his fathers in the city of David.
Lèfini yo pote kadav li sou chwal lavil Jerizalèm. Yo antere l' nan tonm wa yo nan lavil David la.
