2 Istwa 28
1 Akaz te gen ventan lè li moute wa peyi Jida. Li gouvènen nan lavil Jerizalèm pandan sèzan. Men, li pa t' fè sa ki dwat devan Seyè a, Bondye li a, tankou David, zansèt li a, te fè l'.
Ahaz was twenty years old when he began to reign; and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem: and he did not do that which was right in the eyes of the LORD, like David his father;
2 Li te pito fè tankou wa peyi Izrayèl yo. Li menm rive fè estati an kwiv pou Baal yo.
but he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel, and made also molten images for the Baals.
3 Li fè boule lansan pou yo nan Fon Benninon an, li ofri pwòp pitit gason l' yo pou yo boule yo dapre vye prensip krimenèl nasyon Seyè a te mete deyò pou fè plas pou moun Izrayèl yo.
Moreover he burnt incense in the Valley of Ben Hinnom, and made his sons pass through the fire, according to the abominations of the nations whom the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.
4 Li fè touye bèt, boule lansan nan tout tanp zidòl yo, sou ti mòn yo ak anba gwo pyebwa.
He sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places, and on the hills, and under every green tree.
5 Poutèt tout bagay sa yo, Seyè a, Bondye Akaz la, lage l' nan men wa peyi Siri a. Moun Siri yo bat li. Yo fè anpil moun peyi a prizonye, yo mennen yo lavil Damas. Konsa tou, Seyè a lage l' nan men wa peyi Izrayèl la ki bat li byen bat.
Therefore the LORD his God delivered him into the hand of the king of Aram; and they struck him, and carried away of his 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.
6 Se konsa, yon sèl jou Peka, pitit Remalya, touye sanvenmil (120.000) sòlda, tout vanyan gason, nan peyi Jida a, paske pèp la te vire do bay Seyè a, Bondye zansèt yo a.
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 the LORD, the God of their fathers.
7 Zikri, yon vanyan sòlda peyi Efrayim, touye Maseja, pitit wa a, Azrikam, chèf palè a, ak Elkana, chèf ki vin apre wa a.
Zikri, a mighty man of Ephraim, killed Maaseiah the king's son, and Azrikam the ruler of the house, and Elkanah who was next to the king.
8 Atout moun peyi Jida yo te fanmi moun peyi Izrayèl yo, moun peyi Izrayèl yo fè desanmil (200.000) moun prizonye, fanm ak timoun, yo piye peyi a, yo pran yon pakèt bagay pote ale lavil Samari.
The children of Israel carried away captive of their brothers two hundred thousand, women, sons, and daughters, and took also away much spoil from them, and brought the spoil to Samaria.
9 Nan lavil Samari te gen yon moun yo te rele Odèd ki te pwofèt Bondye. Li soti al kontre lame moun peyi Izrayèl yo ki t'ap rive lavil Samari. Li di yo: -Seyè a, Bondye zansèt nou yo, te fache sou moun peyi Jida yo. Se poutèt sa li lage yo nan men nou. Men koulye a, Bondye tande ki jan nou menm nou ansasinen yo ak raj.
But a prophet of the LORD was there, whose name was Oded: and he went out to meet the army that came to Samaria, and said to them, "Look, because the LORD, 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.
10 Koulye a menm, nou soti pou nou fè moun peyi Jida ak moun lavil Jerizalèm yo tounen esklav pou sèvi nou. Men nou menm poutèt pa nou, lè nou fè sa, èske nou pa fè sa ki mal tou devan Seyè a, Bondye nou an?
Now you purpose to keep under the people of Judah and Jerusalem for bondservants and bondmaids for yourselves. Aren't there even with you trespasses of your own against the LORD your God?
11 Koute sa m'ap di nou: Prizonye sa yo se frè ak sè nou yo ye. Kite yo tounen lakay yo, paske se sou nou Seyè a move koulye a.
Now hear me therefore, and send back the captives, that you have taken captive from your brothers; for the fierce wrath of the LORD is on you."
12 Lè sa a, kat nan gwo chèf moun peyi Efrayim yo: Azarya, pitit Jokanan, Berekya, pitit Mesilemòt, Ezekya, pitit Chaloum, ak Amasa, pitit Adlayi, leve dèyè moun ki te soti nan lagè yo.
Then some of the heads of the people of Ephraim, Azariah the son of Johanan, Berechiah the son of Meshillemoth, and Jehizkiah the son of Shallum, and Amasa the son of Hadlai, stood up against those who came from the war,
13 Yo di yo: -Pa mennen prizonye sa yo isit la! Si nou fè sa n'ap antò devan Seyè a. Nou deja fè kont peche nou konsa, Seyè a tou move sou pèp Izrayèl la, pou n'ap vin mete ankò sou sa nou fè ki mal ak sou peche nou yo!
and said to them, "You shall not bring in the captives here: for you purpose that which will bring on us a trespass against the LORD, to add to our sins and to our trespass; for our trespass is great, and there is fierce wrath against Israel."
14 Se konsa sòlda yo renmèt prizonye yo ak tou sa yo te pran bay chèf yo ak tout pèp la.
So the armed men left the captives and the spoil before the leaders and all the assembly.
15 Lè sa a, yo chwazi kat menm mesye sa yo pou yo reskonsab prizonye yo. Yo pran rad nan bagay sòlda yo te piye yo, yo mete sou moun ki te toutouni yo, yo biye yo, mete sapat nan pye yo, yo ba yo manje, yo ba yo bwè. Yo mete renmèd sou tout kote yo te blese. Yo fè tou sa ki te twò fèb yo moute bourik, yo mennen tout prizonye yo tounen lavil Jeriko, lavil Palmis yo, yo renmèt yo bay fanmi yo. Lèfini, yo tounen tounen yo lavil Samari.
The men who have been mentioned by name rose up, and took the captives, and with the spoil clothed all who were naked among them, dressed them, gave them sandals, and 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.
16 Lè sa a, wa Akaz voye mande wa peyi Lasiri a sekou,
At that time king Ahaz sent to the king of Assyria to help him.
17 paske moun peyi Edon yo te fè yon pase nan peyi a ankò. Yo bat lame peyi Jida a, yo fè anpil moun prizonye.
For again the Edomites had come and struck Judah, and carried away captives.
18 Moun Filisti yo, bò pa yo menm, t'ap piye lavil peyi Jida yo ki te nan pye mòn yo ak nan zòn Negèv la. Yo pran pou yo lavil sa yo: Bètchemès, Ajalon, Gedewòt, Soko, Timna ak Gimzo ansanm ak tout ti bouk ki te sou zòd lavil sa yo. Yo rete ladan yo.
The Philistines also had invaded the cities of the lowland, and of the Negev of Judah, and had taken Beth Shemesh, and Aijalon, and Gederoth, and Soco with its towns, and Timnah with its towns, Gimzo also and its towns: and they lived there.
19 Seyè a te voye tout malè sa yo sou peyi Jida a poutèt Akaz, wa peyi Jida a, ki te pouse pèp la neglije Bondye yo a, epi ki poutèt pa l' te vire do bay Bondye nèt.
For the LORD brought Judah low because of Ahaz king of Israel; for he had dealt wantonly in Judah, and trespassed severely against the LORD.
20 Men Tiglat Pilesè, wa peyi Lasiri a, vin atake wa Akaz pito. Pase pou l' ede l', li kraze l' pi mal.
Tilgath Pilneser king of Assyria came to him, and distressed him, but did not strengthen him.
21 Se konsa, Akaz pran dènye bagay ki gen valè nan kay Seyè a, nan palè wa a ak lakay chèf yo, li fè wa peyi Lasiri a kado. Men, sa pa t' sèvi l' anyen.
For Ahaz took away a portion out of the house of the LORD, and out of the house of the king and of the princes, and gave it to the king of Assyria: but it did not help him.
22 Pandan tout tan yo t'ap kraze l' konsa a, nonm yo bay pou wa Akaz la t'ap donnen pi mal nan pa sèvi Seyè a.
In the time of his distress, he trespassed yet more against the LORD, this same king Ahaz.
23 Li t'ap ofri bèt pou yo touye pou bondye moun lavil Damas yo ki te bat li. Li t'ap di nan kè l': Bondye wa peyi Siri yo te ede yo. Si mwen fè sèvis pou yo, y'a ede m' tou. Men se sèvis bondye sa yo menm ki lakòz malè rive ni li ni pèp Izrayèl la.
For he sacrificed to the gods of Damascus, which struck him; and he said, "Because the gods of the kings of Aram helped them, so I will sacrifice to them, that they may help me." But they were the ruin of him, and of all Israel.
24 Akaz pran tout veso ki te nan Tanp Bondye a, li kraze yo an miyèt moso. Li kondannen pòt Tanp Seyè a. Li fè fè lòt lotèl pou lòt bondye yo toupatou nan lavil Jerizalèm.
Ahaz gathered together the vessels of God's house, and cut in pieces the vessels of God's house, and shut up the doors of the house of the LORD; and he made him altars in every corner of Jerusalem.
25 Li bati tanp nan tout lavil ak ti bouk nan peyi Jida pou boule lansan pou lòt bondye yo. Se konsa li fè Seyè a, Bondye zansèt li yo, fache anpil sou li.
In every city of Judah he made high places to burn incense to other gods, and provoked to anger the LORD, the God of his fathers.
26 Tout rès istwa Akaz la ak tou sa li te fè depi premye jou li te moute wa a rive jouk dènye jou a, n'a jwenn tou sa ekri nan Liv Istwa wa peyi Jida ak wa peyi Izrayèl yo.
Now the rest of his acts, and all his ways, first and last, look, they are written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel.
27 Lè li mouri, yo antere l' lavil Jerizalèm, men yo pa t' mete l' nan tonm wa Izrayèl yo. Se Ezekyas, pitit li, ki moute wa nan plas li.
Ahaz slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city, even in Jerusalem; for they did not bring him into the tombs of the kings of Israel: and Hezekiah his son reigned in his place.
