2 Chronicles 28
1 Ahaz was twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. He didn’t do that which was right in Yahweh’s eyes, like David his father,
Achaz te gen laj a ventan lè l te devni wa e li te renye sèzan Jérusalem. Li pa t fè sa ki bon nan zye SENYÈ a, jan David, papa zansèt li a, te konn fè a,
2 but he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and also made molten images for the Baals.
men li te mache nan chemen a wa Israël yo. Anplis, li te fè imaj fonn pou Baal yo.
3 Moreover he burned incense in the valley of the son of Hinnom, and burned his children in the fire, according to the abominations of the nations whom Yahweh cast out before the children of Israel.
Li te brile lansan nan vale Ben-Hinnon e li te brile fis li yo nan dife, selon abominasyon a nasyon ke SENYÈ a te chase mete deyò devan fis Israël yo.
4 He sacrificed and burned incense in the high places, and on the hills, and under every green tree.
Li te fè sakrifis e te brile lansan sou wo plas yo, sou ti mòn yo e anba chak bwa vèt.
5 Therefore Yahweh his God delivered him into the hand of the king of Syria. They struck him, and carried away from him a great multitude of captives, and brought them to Damascus. He was also delivered into the hand of the king of Israel, who struck him with a great slaughter.
Pou sa, SENYÈ a, Bondye li a, te livre li nan men a wa Syrie. Konsa, yo te bat li e te pote ale de li yon gran kantite kaptif pou te fè yo rive Damas. Li te anplis livre nan men a wa Israël la ki te aflije li avèk anpil moun mouri.
6 For Pekah the son of Remaliah killed in Judah one hundred twenty thousand in one day, all of them valiant men, because they had forsaken Yahweh, the God of their fathers.
Paske Pékach, fis Remalia a, te touye nan Juda, pandan yon sèl jou, san-ven-mil òm, tout mesye ki plen kouraj yo, akoz yo te abandone SENYÈ a, Bondye a papa zansèt yo.
7 Zichri, a mighty man of Ephraim, killed Maaseiah the king’s son, Azrikam the ruler of the house, and Elkanah who was next to the king.
Epi Zicri yon nonm pwisan nan Éphraïm, te touye Maaséja, fis a wa a avèk Azrikam, chèf a kay wayal la, e Elkana, dezyèm apre wa a.
8 The children of Israel carried away captive of their brothers two hundred thousand women, sons, and daughters, and also took away much plunder from them, and brought the plunder to Samaria.
Fis Israël yo te pote ale an kaptivite pami frè yo de-san-mil fanm Judah, fis ak fi. Anplis yo te pran anpil piyaj ki sòti nan yo, e te mennen piyaj la Samarie.
9 But a prophet of Yahweh was there, whose name was Oded; and he went out to meet the army that came to Samaria, and said to them, “Behold, because Yahweh, the God of your fathers, was angry with Judah, he has delivered them into your hand, and you have slain them in a rage which has reached up to heaven.
Men yon pwofèt SENYÈ a ki te rele Oded te la. Li te sòti deyò pou rankontre lame ki te vini Samarie a e li te di yo: “Gade byen, paske SENYÈ a zansèt ou yo te fache avèk Juda, Li te livre yo nan men nou, e nou te touye yo ak gwo laraj ki te rive jis nan syèl la.
10 Now you intend to degrade the children of Judah and Jerusalem as male and female slaves for yourselves. Aren’t there even with you trespasses of your own against Yahweh your God?
Alò, nou ap pwopoze pou fè pou kont nou, pèp a Juda avèk Jérusalem yo vin soumèt kòm esklav mal ak femèl. Anverite, èske nou menm pa gen transgresyon pou kont nou kont SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an?
11 Now hear me therefore, and send back the captives that you have taken captive from your brothers, for the fierce wrath of Yahweh is on you.”
Alò, pou sa, koute mwen e remèt kaptif ke nou te fè prizonye pami frè nou yo, paske kòlè SENYÈ a byen cho kont nou.”
12 Then some of the heads of the children of Ephraim, Azariah the son of Johanan, Berechiah the son of Meshillemoth, Jehizkiah the son of Shallum, and Amasa the son of Hadlai, stood up against those who came from the war,
Alò, kèk nan chèf a fis Éphraïm yo——Azaria, fis a Jochanan nan, Bérékia, fis a Meschillémoth la, Ézéchias, fis a Schallum nan e Amasa, fis a Hadlaï a——te leve kont sila ki t ap retounen soti nan batay la.
13 and said to them, “You must not bring in the captives here, for you intend that which will bring on us a trespass against Yahweh, to add to our sins and to our guilt; for our guilt is great, and there is fierce wrath against Israel.”
Yo te di yo: “Fòk nou pa mennen kaptif yo anndan isit la, paske nou ap tante mennen sou nou koupabilite kont SENYÈ a, ki va ogmante peche nou avèk koupabilite nou. Paske koupabilite nou vin tèlman gran ke kòlè Li vin kont Israël.”
14 So the armed men left the captives and the plunder before the princes and all the assembly.
Pou sa, mesye ki t ap pote zam yo te kite kaptif yo avèk piyaj la devan ofisye yo avèk tout asanble a.
15 The men who have been mentioned by name rose up and took the captives, and with the plunder clothed all who were naked among them, dressed them, gave them sandals, gave them something to eat and to drink, anointed them, carried all the feeble of them on donkeys, and brought them to Jericho, the city of palm trees, to their brothers. Then they returned to Samaria.
Epi mesye ki te chwazi pa non yo te leve, pran kaptif yo, yo te mete rad ki sòti nan piyaj la sou sila ki te toutouni yo. Yo te bay yo rad avèk sandal, yo te bay yo manje e te bay yo bwè, e yo te onksyone yo avèk lwil. Yo te mennen tout sila ki te fèb yo sou bourik e te fè yo rive Jéricho, vil palmis yo, kote frè yo. Konsa, yo te retounen Samarie.
16 At that time King Ahaz sent to the kings of Assyria to help him.
Nan lè sa a, Wa Achaz te voye kote wa Asiryen yo pou jwenn soutyen.
17 For again the Edomites had come and struck Judah, and carried away captives.
Paske ankò, Edomit yo te vin atake Juda e te mennen yo sòti kaptif.
18 The Philistines also had invaded the cities of the lowland and of the South of Judah, and had taken Beth Shemesh, Aijalon, Gederoth, Soco with its villages, Timnah with its villages, and also Gimzo and its villages; and they lived there.
Filisten yo osi te atake vil nan ba plèn yo avèk Negev nan Juda e te pran Beth-Schémesch, Ajalon, Guedéroth, Soco avèk vil pa li yo, Thimna avèk vil pa li yo e Guimzo avèk vil pa li yo, epi yo te vin abite la.
19 For Yahweh brought Judah low because of Ahaz king of Israel, because he acted without restraint in Judah and trespassed severely against Yahweh.
Paske SENYÈ a te imilye Juda akoz Achaz, wa Israël la. Paske li te fè rive yon mank de lòd nan Juda e te manke fidèl anpil a SENYÈ a.
20 Tilgath-pilneser king of Assyria came to him and gave him trouble, but didn’t strengthen him.
Pou sa, Tilgath-Piléser, wa Assyrie a te vini kont li, e te aflije li olye de ranfòse li.
21 For Ahaz took away a portion out of Yahweh’s house, and out of the house of the king and of the princes, and gave it to the king of Assyria; but it didn’t help him.
Sepandan, Achaz te pran yon pòsyon sòti nan kay SENYÈ a e sòti nan palè wa a ak chèf yo pou te bay li a wa Assyrie a, men sa pa t ede li.
22 In the time of his distress, he trespassed yet more against Yahweh, this same King Ahaz.
Alò, nan tan gwo pwoblèm pa li, menm Wa Achaz sila a te vin peche plis devan SENYÈ a.
23 For he sacrificed to the gods of Damascus which had defeated him. He said, “Because the gods of the kings of Syria helped them, I will sacrifice to them, that they may help me.” But they were the ruin of him and of all Israel.
Paske li te fè sakrifis a lòt dye Damas yo ki te bat li yo. Li te di: “Akoz dye a wa Syrie yo te ede yo, mwen va fè sakrifis de yo pou yo kab ede mwen.” Men yo te koze chit li avèk tout Israël.
24 Ahaz gathered together the vessels of God’s house, cut the vessels of God’s house in pieces, and shut up the doors of Yahweh’s house; and he made himself altars in every corner of Jerusalem.
Anplis, lè Achaz te ranmase ansanm tout zouti lakay Bondye yo, li te koupe tout zouti yo an mòso. Li te fèmen pòt lakay SENYÈ a, e te fè lotèl pou li nan chak kwen nan Jérusalem.
25 In every city of Judah he made high places to burn incense to other gods, and provoked Yahweh, the God of his fathers, to anger.
Nan chak vil nan Juda, li te fè wo plas pou brile lansan a lòt dye yo, e li te pwovoke SENYÈ a, Bondye a papa zansèt li yo, a lakòlè.
26 Now the rest of his acts, and all his ways, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
Alò, tout lòt zèv avèk chemen li yo, soti nan premye a jis rive nan dènye a, men gade byen, yo ekri nan Liv A Wa A Juda yo Avèk Israël yo.
27 Ahaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city, even in Jerusalem, because they didn’t bring him into the tombs of the kings of Israel; and Hezekiah his son reigned in his place.
Konsa, Achaz te dòmi avèk papa zansèt li yo, e yo te antere li nan vil Jérusalem nan; paske yo pa t mennen li antre nan tonm a wa Israël yo. Epi Ézéchias, fis li a, te renye nan plas li.
