2 Chronicles 20
1 After this also came the children of Moab and the children of Ammon, and with them of the Ammonites against Iehoshaphat to battell.
Alò, li te vin rive apre sa ke fis Moab yo avèk fis Ammon yo, ansanm avèk kèk nan Maonit yo te vini pou fè lagè kont Josaphat.
2 Then there came that tolde Iehoshaphat, saying, There commeth a great multitude against thee from beyonde the Sea, out of Aram: and beholde, they bee in Hazzon Tamar, which is En-gedi.
Kèk moun te vin bay rapò a Josaphat e te di: “Yon gran foul ap pwoche kont ou soti lòtbò lanmè Syrie. Gade byen, yo rive Hatsatson-Thamar” (ki En-Guédi a).
3 And Iehoshaphat feared, and set him selfe to seeke the Lord, and proclaimed a fast throughout all Iudah.
Josaphat te byen pè. Li te vire atansyon li pou chache SENYÈ a, e te pwoklame yon jèn toupatou nan Juda.
4 And Iudah gathered them selues together to aske counsel of the Lord: they came euen out of all the cities of Iudah to inquire of the Lord,
Konsa, Juda te rasanble ansanm pou chache èd SENYÈ a. Yo te sòti menm nan tout vil a Juda yo pou chache SENYÈ a.
5 And Iehoshaphat stoode in the Congregation of Iudah and Ierusalem in the house of the Lord before the new court,
Konsa, Josaphat te kanpe nan asanble Juda a avèk Jérusalem, lakay SENYÈ a devan tribinal nèf la.
6 And saide, O Lord God of our fathers, art not thou God in heauen? and reignest not thou on all the kingdomes of the heathen? and in thine hande is power and might, and none is able to withstand thee.
Li te di: “O SENYÈ, Bondye a zansèt pa nou yo, èske se pa Ou menm ki Bondye nan Syèl yo? Èske se pa Ou menm ki renye sou tout wayòm a nasyon yo? Pwisans avèk majeste, se nan men Ou, jiskaske nanpwen moun ki kab kanpe kont Ou.
7 Diddest not thou our God cast out ye inhabitants of this lande before thy people Israel, and gauest it to the seede of Abraham thy friende for euer?
Èske se pa Ou menm, O Bondye nou an, ki te chase tout sila ki te rete nan peyi sa a devan pèp Ou a, Israël pou bay li a desandan Abraham yo, zanmi Ou an, jis pou tout tan?
8 And they dwelt therein, and haue built thee a Sanctuarie therein for thy Name, saying,
Yo te abite ladann, yo te bati sanktyè Ou a la pou non Ou, e yo te di:
9 If euill come vpon vs, as the sworde of iudgement, or pestilence, or famine, we will stande before this house and in thy presence (for thy name is in this house) and will crie vnto thee in our tribulation, and thou wilt heare and helpe.
‘Si mechanste ta vini sou nou, nepe, oswa jijman, oswa epidemi, oswa gwo grangou, nou va kanpe devan kay sila a e devan Ou menm, (paske non pa Ou sou kay sa a) pou kriye a Ou menm nan twoub nou yo, ke Ou va tande pou delivre nou.’
10 And now beholde, the children of Ammon and Moab, and mount Seir, by whome thou wouldest not let Israel goe, when they came out of the land of Egypt: but they turned aside from them, and destroyed them not:
Alò, gade, fis a Ammon yo avèk Moab avèk Mòn Séir, kilès ou te anpeche Israël pran lè yo te sòti nan peyi Égypte la. Konsa, yo te vire akote e yo pa t detwi yo.
11 Behold, I say, they reward vs, in comming to cast vs out of thine inheritance, which thou hast caused vs to inherit.
Gade, koulye a, jan y ap rekonpanse nou lè yo vin parèt pou chase nou mete deyò soti nan posesyon ke Ou te bannou kòm eritaj la.
12 O our God, wilt thou not iudge them? for there is no strength in vs to stand before this great multitude that commeth against vs, neither doe wee knowe what to doe: but our eyes are toward thee.
O Bondye nou, èske Ou p ap jije yo? Paske nou san pouvwa devan gran foul sila a k ap vini kont nou an. Ni nou pa konnen kisa pou nou fè, men zye nou ap gade sou Ou.”
13 And all Iudah stoode before the Lord with their yong ones, their wiues, and their children.
Tout Juda te kanpe devan SENYÈ a avèk ti bebe yo, madanm yo ak zanfan yo.
14 And Iahaziel the sonne of Zechariah the sonne of Benaiah, the sonne of Ieiel, the sonne of Mattaniah, a Leuite of the sonnes of Asaph was there, vpon whome came the Spirite of ye Lord, in the middes of the Congregation.
Alò, nan mitan asanble a, Lespri SENYÈ a te vini sou Jachaziel, fis a Zacharie a, fis a Benaja a, fis a Jeïel la, fis a Matthania a, Levit la ak fis a Asaph yo.
15 And he said, Hearken ye, all Iudah, and ye inhabitantes of Ierusalem, and thou, King Iehoshaphat: thus saith the Lord vnto you, Feare you not, neither be afraide for this great multitude: for the battel is not yours, but Gods.
Epi li te di: “Koute, tout Juda avèk pèp Jérusalem nan ak Wa Josaphat: konsa pale SENYÈ a a nou menm: ‘Pa pè, ni pa pèdi kouraj akoz gran foul sila a, paske batay la pa pou nou, men se pou Bondye li ye.
16 To morowe goe yee downe against them: beholde, they come vp by the cleft of Ziz, and ye shall finde them at the ende of the brooke before the wildernesse of Ieruel.
Demen, desann kont yo. Tande byen, yo va vin monte kote pant ti mòn Tsits lan, e nou va jwenn yo nan dènye pwent vale a devan dezè Jeruel la.
17 Ye shall not neede to fight in this battell: stand still, moue not, and behold the saluation of the Lord towardes you: O Iudah, and Ierusalem, feare ye not, neither be afraid: to morow goe out against them, and the Lord wilbe with you.
Nou pa bezwen goumen nan batay sila a. Pran pozisyon nou e kanpe gade delivrans SENYÈ a anfavè nou, O Juda, avèk Jérusalem. Pa pè, ni pa pèdi kouraj. Demen sòti pou parèt devan yo, paske SENYÈ a avèk nou.’”
18 Then Iehoshaphat bowed downe with his face to the earth, and all Iudah and the inhabitants of Ierusalem fell downe before the Lord, worshipping the Lord.
Josaphat te bese tèt li jis atè, e tout Juda avèk moun Jérusalem yo te tonbe atè devan SENYÈ a, pou adore Li.
19 And the Leuites of the children of the Kohathites and of the childre of the Corhites stood vp to prayse the Lord God of Israel with a loude voyce on hie.
Levit ki te nan fis a Keatit yo, e nan fis a Koreyit yo, te kanpe pou louwe SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la, nan yon trè gwo vwa.
20 And when they arose early in the morning, they went forth to the wildernesse of Tekoa: and as they departed, Iehoshaphat stoode and sayde, Heare ye me, O Iudah, and ye inhabitants of Ierusalem: put your trust in the Lord your God, and ye shalbe assured: beleeue his Prophets, and ye shall prosper.
Yo te leve granmmaten, e yo te sòti deyò nan dezè Tekoa a. Pandan yo tap sòti, Josaphat te kanpe. Li te di: “Koute mwen, O Juda avèk moun Jérusalem yo, mete konfyans nou nan SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an, e nou va etabli. Mete konfyans nou nan pwofèt Li yo, e nou va vin reyisi.”
21 And when he had consulted with the people, and appoynted singers vnto the Lord, and them that should prayse him that is in the beautifull Sanctuarie, in going forth before the men of armes, and saying, Prayse ye the Lord, for his mercy lasteth for euer,
Lè li te fin konsilte pèp la, li te chwazi sila ki te chante a SENYÈ yo avèk sila ki te fè louwanj nan vètman sen yo, pandan yo t ap sòti devan lame a. Yo t ap di: “Bay remèsiman a SENYÈ a, paske lanmou dous Li a dire jis pou tout tan.”
22 And when they began to shoute, and to prayse, the Lord layed ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Iudah, and they slewe one another.
Depi lè a, yo te kòmanse chante ak bay louwanj, SENYÈ a te mete anbiskad kont fis a Ammon yo, Moab avèk Mòn Séir, ki te vini kont Juda yo epi yo te vin boulvèse.
23 For the children of Ammon and Moab rose against the inhabitants of mount Seir, to slay and to destroy them and when they had made an end of the inhabitantes of Seir, euery one helped to destroy another.
Paske fis Ammon yo avèk Moab yo te leve kont fis Mòn Séir yo pou te detwi yo nèt. Lè yo te fini avèk moun Mòn Séir yo, yo te asiste pou detwi youn lòt.
24 And when Iudah came towarde Mizpah in the wildernes, they looked vnto the multitude: and behold, the carkeises were fallen to the earth, and none escaped.
Lè Juda te rive nan wotè sou dezè a, yo te gade vè gwo foul la, epi vwala, te gen kadav ki te kouche atè a. Okenn pa t chape.
25 And when Iehoshaphat and his people came to take away the spoyle of them, they founde among them in abundance both of substance and also of bodies laden with precious iewels, which they tooke for themselues, till they could cary no more: they were three dayes in gathering of the spoyle: for it was much.
Lè Josaphat avèk pèp li a te vini pran piyaj la, yo te twouve anpil bagay pami yo; byen, vètman ak bagay valab ke yo te pran pou yo menm, plis pase yo ta kab pote. Yo te pran twa jou pou ranmase piyaj la, paske li te tèlman anpil.
26 And in the fourth day they assembled themselues in the valley of Berachah: for there they blessed the Lord: therefore they called the name of that place, The valley of Berachah vnto this day.
Nan katriyèm jou a, yo te fè asanble nan vale Beraca a. La, yo te beni SENYÈ a. Akoz sa, yo te rele plas sa a: “Vale Beraca a” jis rive jodi a.
27 Then euery man of Iudah and Ierusalem returned with Iehoshaphat their head, to goe againe to Ierusalem with ioy: for the Lord had made them to reioyce ouer their enemies.
Tout mesye Juda avèk Jérusalem yo te retounen avèk Josaphat sou tèt la. Yo te retounen Jérusalem avèk kè kontan, paske SENYÈ a te fè yo rejwi sou lènmi yo.
28 And they came to Ierusalem with viols and with harpes, and with trumpets, euen vnto the house of the Lord.
Yo te vini Jérusalem avèk ap, gita yo ak twonpèt pou rive vè kay SENYÈ a.
29 And the feare of God was vpon all the kingdomes of the earth, whe they had heard that the Lord had fought against ye enemies of Israel.
Lakrent Bondye te sou tout wayòm a lòt peyi yo lè yo te tande ke SENYÈ a te goumen kont lènmi Israël yo.
30 So the kingdom of Iehoshaphat was quiet, and his God gaue him rest on euery side.
Konsa, wayòm Josaphat a te gen lapè, paske Bondye li a te ba li repo tout kote.
31 And Iehoshaphat reigned ouer Iudah, and was fiue and thirtie yeere olde, when he began to reigne: and reigned fiue and twentie yeere in Ierusalem, and his mothers name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi.
Alò, Josaphat te renye sou Juda. Li te gen laj a trann-senk ane lè l te devni wa a e li te renye Jérusalem pandan venn-senkan. Non manman l se te Azuba, fi a Schilchi a.
32 And he walked in the way of Asa his father, and departed not therefrom, doing that which was right in the sight of the Lord.
Li te mache nan chemen papa li, Asa, e li pa t kite li. Li te toujou fè sa ki dwat nan zye SENYÈ a.
33 Howbeit the hie places were not taken away: for the people had not yet prepared their hearts vnto the God of their fathers.
Sepandan, wo plas yo pa t retire. Pèp la potko dirije kè yo vè Bondye a zansèt yo a.
34 Concerning the rest of the actes of Iehoshaphat first and last, beholde, they are written in the booke of Iehu the sonne of Hanani, which is mentioned in the booke of the kings of Israel.
Alò, tout lòt zèv a Josaphat yo, soti nan premye jis rive nan dènye a, gade byen, yo ekri nan rejis a Jéhu, fis a Hanani, ki enskri nan Liv Wa Israël Yo.
35 Yet after this did Iehoshaphat King of Iudah ioyne himselfe with Ahaziah King of Israel, who was giuen to do euill.
Apre sa, Josaphat, wa Juda a te fè alyans avèk Achazia, wa Israël la. Li te aji mal nan fè bagay sa a.
36 And he ioyned with him, to make ships to go to Tarshish: and they made the shippes in Ezion Gaber.
Konsa, li te alinye li avèk li pou fè bato yo rive Tarsis e yo te fè bato yo rive nan Etsjon-Guéber.
37 Then Eliezer ye sonne of Dodauah of Mareshah prophecied against Iehoshaphat, saying, Because thou hast ioyned thy selfe with Ahaziah, the Lord hath broken thy workes. and the shippes were broken, that they were not able to go to Tarshish.
Epi Éliézer, fis a Dodava a nan Maréscha, te pwofetize kont Josaphat. Li te di: “Akoz ou te fè alyans avèk Achazia, SENYÈ a te detwi zèv ou yo.” Pou sa, bato yo te kraze, e yo pa t kab ale Tarsis.
