2 Istwa 15
1 Lespri Bondye te desann sou Azarya, pitit Obèd.
And Azariah [the] son of Oded it was on him [the] spirit of God.
2 Azarya soti al kontre wa Asa, li di l' konsa: -Koute sa m'ap di nou, ou menm Asa ansanm ak tout moun fanmi Jida ak fanmi Benjamen yo! Seyè a ap kanpe ak nou si nou menm tou nou kanpe avè l'. Si nou chache l', l'ap kite nou jwenn li. Men, si nou vire do ba li, l'ap vire do ban nou tou.
And he went out before Asa and he said to him listen to me O Asa and all Judah and Benjamin Yahweh [is] with you when are you with him and if you will seek him he will let himself be found by you and if you will forsake him he will forsake you.
3 Pandan lontan, pèp Izrayèl la t'ap viv san Bondye tout bon an, san prèt pou moutre yo sa pou yo fè, san lalwa Bondye a.
And days many [belonged] to Israel to not - [the] God of truth and to not a priest [who] teaches and to not [the] law.
4 Men, lè malè tonbe sou yo, yo tounen nan pye Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la. Yo chache l', li kite yo jwenn li.
And it turned back when it was distress to it to Yahweh [the] God of Israel and they sought him and he let himself be found by them.
5 Nan tan sa yo, pesonn pa t' ka okipe zafè yo ak kè poze, paske te gen gwo dezòd pou tout moun nan tout peyi.
And in the times those not peace [belonged] to the [one who] went out and to the [one who] came in for disturbances great [were] on all [the] inhabitants of the lands.
6 Nasyon t'ap kraze nasyon, yon lavil t'ap detwi yon lòt lavil, paske Bondye te lage tout kalite malè sou yo.
And they were crushed nation by nation and city by city for God he troubled them with every trouble.
7 Men nou menm, mete gason sou nou! Pa dekouraje, paske n'ap jwenn rekonpans travay nou.
And you be strong and may not they drop hands your for there [is] reward for work your.
8 Lè Asa tande mesaj pitit Obèd la te bay nan non Bondye, li pran kouraj. Li fè yo wete dènye vye zidòl ki te nan peyi moun Jida yo ak nan peyi moun Benjamen yo, ansanm ak tout zidòl ki te nan lavil li te pran nan zòn mòn Efrayim yo. Li repare lotèl Seyè a ki te kanpe nan lakou devan gwo pyès Tanp Seyè a.
And just as heard Asa the words these and the prophecy of (Azariah [the] son of *X) Oded the prophet he strengthened himself and he took away the detestable things from all [the] land of Judah and Benjamin and from the cities which he had captured from [the] hill country of Ephraim and he renewed [the] altar of Yahweh which [was] before [the] porch of Yahweh.
9 Anpil moun soti toupatou nan peyi Efrayim, nan peyi Manase ak nan peyi Simeyon, yo vin jwenn Asa. Yo t'ap viv nan peyi a sou zòd li, paske yo te wè Seyè a te kanpe la avè l'. Asa reyini yo tout ansanm ak tout moun Jida yo ak moun Benjamen yo.
And he gathered all Judah and Benjamin and those [who] sojourned with them from Ephraim and Manasseh and from Simeon for they had fallen on him from Israel to multitude when saw they that Yahweh God his [was] with him.
10 Yo tout reyini lavil Jerizalèm. Lè sa a, Asa te gen katòzan twa mwa depi li te wa.
And they gathered together Jerusalem in the month third of year fif-teen of [the] reign of Asa.
11 Jou sa a, yo pran sètsan (700) bèf ak sètmil (7.000) mouton nan tou sa yo te pran nan men lènmi yo, yo touye yo pou Seyè a.
And they sacrificed to Yahweh on the day that some of the booty [which] they had brought ox[en] seven hundred and sheep seven thousand.
12 Yo pran angajman pou yo sèvi Seyè a, Bondye zansèt yo a, ak tout kè yo, ak tout nanm yo.
And they went in the covenant to seek Yahweh [the] God of ancestors their with all heart their and with all being their.
13 Yo pwomèt pou yo touye nenpòt moun, kit se fanm kit se gason, kit se granmoun kit se jennmoun, ki pa soti pou sèvi Seyè a.
And every [one] who not he will seek Yahweh [the] God of Israel he will be put to death from small and unto great from man and unto woman.
14 Yo fè sèman bay Seyè a byen fò y'ap kenbe angajman yo. Yo te kontan, yo t'ap rele, yo t'ap kònen twonpèt ak klewon.
And they swore an oath to Yahweh with a voice great and with a shout and with trumpets and with ram's horns.
15 Tout moun peyi Jida yo te kontan, paske yo te fè sèman an ak tout kè yo. San pesonn pa fòse yo, yo te soti pou yo te chache konnen volonte Seyè a. Seyè a menm te kite yo jwenn li. Li fè yo viv ak kè poze ak tout moun nan vwazinaj yo.
And they rejoiced all Judah on the oath for with all heart their they had sworn and with all will their they had sought him and he let himself be found by them and he gave rest Yahweh to them from round about.
16 Wa Asa menm rive wete Maka, grann li, nan pozisyon yo te ba li tankou manman Larenn nan peyi a, paske Maka te fè yon vye estati pou Achera. Asa kraze estati a an miyèt moso, li fè boule l' nan ravin Sedwon an.
And also Maacah [the] mother of - Asa the king he removed her from queen-mother who she had made to an Asherah pole an abominable image and he cut down Asa abominable image her and he crushed [it] and he burned [it] in [the] wadi of Kidron.
17 Atout li pa t' rive fè disparèt tout kay zidòl yo, li menm li te toujou sèvi Seyè a ak tout kè li pandan lavi li.
And the high places not they were removed from Israel only [the] heart of Asa it was complete all days his.
18 Li pran tou sa papa l' te bay pou sèvis Bondye a, li mete yo nan Tanp lan ak tout bagay an lò ak an ajan li menm li te bay pou Bondye.
And he brought [the] holy things of father his and own holy things his [the] house of God silver and gold and utensils.
19 Pat gen lagè menm jouk wa Asa rive sou trannsenkan depi li t'ap gouvènen.
And war not it was until year thirty and five of [the] reign of Asa.
