< 1 Wa 15 >
1 Jewoboram te gen dizwitan depi li te wa peyi Izrayèl la, lè Abijam moute wa nan peyi Jida.
Now in the eighteenth year of king Jeroboam the son of Nebat reigned Abijam over Judah.
2 Li gouvènen lavil Jerizalèm pandan twazan. Manman l' te rele Maka, se te pitit fi Absalon.
Three years he reigned in Jerusalem. And his mother's name [was] Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom.
3 Abijam te lage kò l' nan fè menm bagay ak papa l'. Li pa t' sèvi Seyè a, Bondye li a, ak tout kè li jan David, zansèt li a, te fè.
And he walked in all the sins of his father, which he had done before him: and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as the heart of David his father.
4 Men poutèt David, Seyè a, Bondye li a, te bay Abijam yon pitit gason pou te toujou gen yon moun nan ras li ap gouvènen lavil Jerizalèm apre li. Konsa lavil Jerizalèm va toujou rete kanpe.
Nevertheless, for David's sake the LORD his God gave him a lamp in Jerusalem, to set up his son after him, and to establish Jerusalem:
5 Seyè a te fè sa paske David te toujou fè sa ki dwat devan Seyè a. Pandan tout lavi li, li pa t' janm dezobeyi ankenn lòd Seyè a, si ou wete zafè Ouri, moun peyi Et la.
Because David did [that which was] right in the eyes of the LORD, and turned not aside from any [thing] that he commanded him all the days of his life, save only in the matter of Uriah the Hittite.
6 Pandan tout rèy Woboram lan, se te yon lagè san rete ant Woboram ak Jewoboram.
And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days of his life.
7 Toutan te gen lagè tou ant Abijam ak Jewoboram. Tout lòt bagay Abijam te fè yo, n'a jwenn yo ekri nan liv Istwa wa peyi Jida yo.
Now the rest of the acts of Abijam, and all that he did, [are] they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? And there was war between Abijam and Jeroboam.
8 Lè Abijam mouri, yo antere l' nan lavil David la, Se Asa, pitit gason l' lan, ki moute sou fotèy la nan plas li.
And Abijam slept with his fathers; and they buried him in the city of David: and Asa his son reigned in his stead.
9 Wa Jewoboram t'ap mache sou ventan depi li t'ap gouvènen peyi Izrayèl, lè Asa moute wa nan peyi Jida.
And in the twentieth year of Jeroboam king of Israel reigned Asa over Judah.
10 Li gouvènen pandan karanteyennan lavil Jerizalèm. Maka, pitit fi Absalon an, te grann li.
And forty and one years reigned he in Jerusalem. And his mother's name [was] Maachah, the daughter of Abishalom.
11 Asa te fè sa ki dwat devan Seyè a, tankou David, zansèt li.
And Asa did [that which was] right in the eyes of the LORD, as [did] David his father.
12 Li netwaye peyi a, li mete tout gason ak tout fanm ki t'ap fè jennès nan kay zidòl yo deyò nan peyi a. Li wete tout vye zidòl chèf ki te la anvan l' yo te fè.
And he banished the sodomites from the land, and removed all the idols that his fathers had made.
13 Li menm rive wete Maka, grann li, nan pozisyon manman larenn yo te ba li nan peyi a, paske Maka te fè yon vye estati pou Astate. Asa kraze estati a, li fè boule l' nan fon Sedwon an.
And also Maachah his mother, even her he removed from [being] queen, because she had made an idol in a grove; and Asa destroyed her idol, and burnt [it] by the brook Kidron.
14 Malgre li pa t' rive fè disparèt tout kay zidòl yo, limenm li te toujou sèvi Seyè a ak tout kè li pandan tout lavi li.
But the high places were not removed: nevertheless Asa's heart was perfect with the LORD all his days.
15 Li mete nan Tanp lan tou sa papa l' te bay pou sèvis Bondye ansanm ak tout bagay an lò ak an ajan limenm li te bay pou Bondye.
And he brought the things which his father had dedicated, and the things which himself had dedicated, into the house of the LORD, silver, and gold, and vessels.
16 Pandan tout tan yo t'ap gouvènen chak moun bò pa yo, se te yon lagè san rete ant Asa, wa peyi Jida, ak Bacha, wa peyi Izrayèl.
And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.
17 wa Bacha anvayi peyi Jida. Li pran lavil Rama, li plen l' sòlda pa l' pou anpeche moun pase antre soti nan peyi Jida.
And Baasha king of Israel went up against Judah, and built Ramah, that he might not suffer any to go out or come in to Asa king of Judah.
18 Lè wa Asa wè sa, li pran tout rès bagay an lò ak bagay an ajan ki te rete nan tanp lan ak nan palè a, li renmèt yo nan men kèk moun pa l', li voye yo lavil Damas bò kote Bennadad, wa peyi Siri, pitit gason Tabrimon, pitit pitit Ezyon, ak mesaj sa a:
Then Asa took all the silver and the gold [that were] left in the treasures of the house of the LORD, and the treasures of the king's house, and delivered them into the hand of his servants: and king Asa sent them to Ben-hadad, the son of Tabrimon, the son of Hezion, king of Syria, that dwelt at Damascus, saying,
19 -Annou pase kontra yonn ak lòt tankou zansèt nou yo te fè l' la. Men mwen voye bagay an lò ak bagay an ajan sa yo fè ou kado. Koulye a, kase kontra ou pase ak Bacha, wa peyi Izrayèl la, konsa la blije wete sòlda li yo nan peyi mwen an.
[There is] a league between me and thee, [and] between my father and thy father: behold, I have sent to thee a present of silver and gold; come and break thy league with Baasha king of Israel, that he may depart from me.
20 wa Bennadad dakò avèk sa wa Asa te voye di l' la. Li voye chèf lame li yo al atake lavil peyi Izrayèl yo. Yo pran lavil Iyon, lavil Dann, lavil Abèl-bèt Maka, tout zòn ki toupre letan Galile a, ak tout pòsyon tè branch fanmi Neftali a.
So Ben-hadad hearkened to king Asa, and sent the captains of the armies which he had against the cities of Israel, and smote Ijon, and Dan, and Abel-beth-maachah, and all Cinneroth, with all the land of Naphtali.
21 Lè Bacha vin konn sa, li wete tout sòlda ki te plen lavil Rama a, l' ale lavil Tizra.
And it came to pass, when Baasha heard [of it], that he left off building of Ramah, and dwelt in Tirzah.
22 Lè sa a, wa Asa fè rele dènye moun nan peyi Jida a pou wete wòch ak bwa wa Bacha te fè anpile pou ranfòse miray ranpa lavil Rama. Wa Asa sèvi ak materyo sa yo pou ranfòse miray ranpa lavil Mispa ak lavil Geba nan pòsyon tè branch fanmi Benjamen yo.
Then king Asa made a proclamation throughout all Judah; none [was] exempted: and they took away the stones of Ramah, and its timber, with which Baasha had built it; and king Asa built with them Geba of Benjamin, and Mizpah.
23 Tout lòt istwa sou sa wa Asa te fè yo, sou jan li te yon vanyan gason, sou lavil li te bati yo, n'a jwenn tou sa ekri nan liv Istwa wa peyi Jida yo. Men, lè l' konmanse granmoun, yon maladi nan pye rann li enfim.
The rest of all the acts of Asa, and all his might, and all that he did, and the cities which he built, [are] they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah? Nevertheless in the time of his old age he was diseased in his feet.
24 Lè Asa mouri, yo antere l' nan tonm fanmi li nan lavil David la. Se Jozafa, pitit li, ki moute sou fotèy la nan plas li.
And Asa slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father: and Jehoshaphat his son reigned in his stead.
25 Wa Asa te gen dezan depi li t'ap gouvènen peyi Jida a lè Nadad, pitit gason Jewoboram, moute wa nan peyi Izrayèl. Li gouvènen peyi a pandan dezan ase.
And Nadab the son of Jeroboam began to reign over Israel in the second year of Asa king of Judah, and reigned over Israel two years.
26 Li fè sa ki mal nan je Seyè a. Tankou papa l', li pa t' mache dwat devan Bondye, lèfini li te lakòz pèp la fè sa ki mal tou.
And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of his father, and in his sin with which he made Israel to sin.
27 Bacha, pitit gason Akija, nan branch fanmi Isaka a, moute yon konplo pou touye Nadab. Lè sa a, Nadab ak lame Izrayèl la t'ap sènen lavil Gibetou nan peyi Filisti. Se la Bacha touye Nadab.
And Baasha the son of Ahijah, of the house of Issachar, conspired against him; and Baasha smote him at Gibbethon, which [belonged] to the Philistines; for Nadab and all Israel laid siege to Gibbethon.
28 Sa rive nan twazyèm lanne rèy wa Asa nan peyi Jida. Se konsa Bacha moute wa peyi Izrayèl nan plas Nadab.
Even in the third year of Asa king of Judah did Baasha slay him, and reigned in his stead.
29 Rive li rive wa, li touye dènye moun nan fanmi Jewoboram lan. Konsa, dapre pawòl Seyè a te mete nan bouch pwofèt Akija, moun lavil Silo, sèvitè Bondye a, li touye tout moun nan fanmi Jewoboram lan, li pa kite yonn chape.
And it came to pass, when he reigned, [that] he smote all the house of Jeroboam; he left not to Jeroboam any that breathed, until he had destroyed him, according to the saying of the LORD, which he spoke by his servant Ahijah the Shilonite:
30 Sa te rive konsa paske Jewoboram te fè sa ki mal, lèfini li te lakòz pèp la fè sa ki mal tou. Se konsa li te fè Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, fache sou li.
Because of the sins of Jeroboam which he sinned, and which he made Israel sin, by his provocation with which he provoked the LORD God of Israel to anger.
31 Tout lòt bagay Nadab te fè yo, n'a jwenn yo ekri nan liv Istwa wa peyi Izrayèl yo.
Now the rest of the acts of Nadab, and all that he did, [are] they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
32 Se te yon lagè san rete ant Asa, wa peyi Jida a, ak Bacha, wa peyi Izrayèl la, pandan tout tan yo t'ap gouvènen, chak moun bò pa yo.
And there was war between Asa and Baasha king of Israel all their days.
33 Wa Asa t'ap mache sou twazan depi li t'ap gouvènen peyi Jida a lè Bacha, pitit gason Akija, moute wa nan peyi Izrayèl.
In the third year of Asa king of Judah began Baasha the son of Ahijah to reign over all Israel in Tirzah, twenty and four years.
34 Li gouvènen pandan vennkatran nan lavil Tiza. Li te fè sa ki mal devan Seyè a. Tankou Jewoboram, li pa t' mache dwat devan Bondye. Li te lakòz pèp la fè sa ki mal tou.
And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of Jeroboam, and in his sin with which he made Israel to sin.
