Chronicles II 11
1 And Roboam came to Jerusalem; and he assembled Juda and Benjamin, a hundred and eighty thousand young men fit for war, and he waged war with Israel to recover the kingdom to Roboam.
Lè Woboram rive lavil Jerizalèm, li sanble sankatrevenmil (180.000) sòlda nan pi bon sòlda ki te nan branch fanmi Jida ak nan branch fanmi Benjamen. Li te fè lide al goumen ak moun peyi Izrayèl yo pou l' mete yo anba lòd li ankò.
2 And the Word of the Lord came to Samaias the man of God, saying,
Men, Bondye pale ak Chemaya, pwofèt li a, li di l' konsa:
3 Speak to Roboam the [son] of Solomon, and to all Juda and Benjamin, saying,
-Pale ak Woboram, pitit Salomon an, wa peyi Jida a, ansanm ak tout moun pep Izrayèl ki fè pati branch fanmi Jida ak branch fanmi Benjamen yo. Di yo konsa:
4 Thus says the Lord, You shall not go up, and you shall not war against your brethren: return every one to his home; for this thing is of me. And they listened to the word of the Lord, and returned from going against Jeroboam.
Men mesaj mwen menm Seyè a, mwen voye ba yo: Piga n' al goumen ak fanmi nou yo. Tounen lakay nou. Sa ki rive a se travay mwen. Se mwen menm ki vle l' konsa. Moun yo koute lòd Seyè a vre, yo pa moute al goumen ak Jewoboram.
5 And Roboam lived in Jerusalem, and he built walled cities in Judea.
Woboram rete lavil Jerizalèm, li moute ranpa nan anpil lavil peyi Jida pou pwoteje yo.
6 And he built Bethleem, and Aetan and Thecoe,
Se konsa, li ranfòse miray lavil Betleyèm, Eytam, Tekoa,
7 and Baethsura, and Sochoth, and Odollam,
Betsou, Soko, Adoulam,
8 and Geth, and Marisa, and Ziph,
Gat, Marecha, Zif,
9 and Adorai, and Lachis, and Azeca,
Adorayim, Lakis, Aseka,
10 and Saraa, and Aelom, and Chebron, which belong to Juda and Benjamin, walled cities.
Soreya, Ajalon, Ebwon. Tou sa se lavil ak ranpa ki te nan peyi Jida ak nan peyi Benjamen.
11 And he fortified them with walls, and placed in them captains, and stores of provisions, oil and wine,
Li ranfòse miray ranpa yo, li mete chèf reskonsab yo, li fè bati depo pou mete manje, lwil ak diven.
12 shields and spears in every several city, and he fortified them very strongly, and he had on his side Juda and Benjamin.
Lèfini, nan chak lavil, li fè bay gwo plak pwotèj ak frenn an kantite. Lavil sa yo te byen pwoteje. Se konsa Woboram te kenbe moun branch fanmi Jida ak branch fanmi Benjamen yo anba otorite l'.
13 And the priests and the Levites who were in all Israel were gathered to him out of all the coasts.
Prèt yo ak moun Levi yo soti toupatou nan peyi Izrayèl, yo vin jwenn Woboram.
14 For the Levites left the tents of their possession, and went to Juda to Jerusalem, because Jeroboam and his sons had ejected them so that they should not minister to the Lord.
Moun Levi yo te kite bèt yo nan savann ak tout lòt byen yo, yo desann lavil Jerizalèm ak nan peyi Jida, paske Jewoboram, wa peyi Izrayèl la ak tout wa ki te vin apre l' yo, te enpoze moun Levi yo fè sèvis yo tankou prèt Seyè a.
15 And he made for himself priests of the high places, and for the idols, and for the vanities, and for the calves which Jeroboam made.
Jewoboram te chwazi prèt pa l' pou fè sèvis kote yo fè ofrann bèt pou lòt bondye li t'ap sèvi sou fòm estati bouk kabrit ak ti towo bèf li te fè fè pou li yo.
16 And he cast out from the tribes of Israel those who set their heart to seek the Lord God of Israel: and they came to Jerusalem, to sacrifice to the Lord God of their fathers.
Nan tout peyi Izrayèl la moun ki te vle sèvi Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, ak tout kè yo fè tankou moun Levi yo ak prèt yo. Yo desann lavil Jerizalèm pou yo te ka ofri bèt pou yo touye pou Seyè a, Bondye zansèt yo a.
17 And they strengthened the kingdom of Juda; and [Juda] strengthened Roboam the [son] of Solomon for three years, for he walked three years in the ways of David and Solomon.
Sa te bay gouvènman peyi Jida a anpil fòs. Pandan twazan yo kenbe la ak Woboram, pitit Salomon an, yo viv jan yo te konn viv sou rèy wa David ak wa Salomon.
18 And Roboam took to himself for a wife, Moolath daughter of Jerimuth the son of David, and Abigaia daughter of Heliab the son of Jessae.
Woboram te marye ak Malat, pitit fi Jerimòt ki te pitit David ak Abigayil, pitit fi Eliyab, pitit pitit fi Izayi.
19 And she bore him sons; Jeus, and Samoria, and Zaam.
Yo fè twa pitit gason: Jeouch, Chemarya ak Saram.
20 And afterwards he took to himself Maacha the daughter of Abessalom; and she bore him Abia, and Jetthi, and Zeza, and Salemoth.
Apre sa, Woboram marye ak Maka, pitit fi Absalon, ki ba li kat pitit gason: Abija, Atayi, Ziza ak Chelomit.
21 And Roboam loved Maacha the daughter of Abessalom more than all his wives and all his concubines: for he had eighteen wives and sixty concubines; and he begot twenty-eight sons, and sixty daughters.
Antou Woboram te gen dizwit madan marye ak swasant fanm kay. Li fè venntwit pitit gason ak swasant pitit fi. Nan tout madan marye li yo ak fanm kay li yo, se Maka, pitit fi Absalon an, li te pi renmen.
22 And he made Abia the son of Maacha chief, [even] a leader among his brethren, for he intended to make him king.
Konsa tou, li te pito Abija, pitit gason Maka te fè pou li a, pase tout lòt pitit li yo. Li mete l' chèf tout frè l' yo. Li te vle se li ki pou pran plas li lè li mouri.
23 And he was exalted beyond all his [other] sons in all the coasts of Juda and Benjamin, and in the strong cities; and he gave them provisions in great abundance: and he desired many wives.
Li te fè lide bay chak pitit gason l' yo yon reskonsablite. Se konsa, li voye yo al rete toupatou nan peyi Jida ak nan peyi Benjamen, nan tout lavil li te ranfòse yo, li ba yo pwovizyon an kantite epi li marye yo ak anpil fanm.
