2 Wa 13
1 Joas, pitit wa Okozyas, t'ap mache sou venntwazan depi li t'ap gouvènen peyi Jida a lè Joakaz, pitit Jeou, moute wa nan peyi Izrayèl. Li gouvènen pandan disetan nan lavil Samari.
In the twenty-third year of Joash the son of Ahaziah, king of Judah, Jehoahaz the son of Jehu began to reign over Israel in Samaria for seventeen years.
2 Men, li te fè sa ki mal nan je Seyè a, li te lage kò l' nan fè menm peche ak Jewoboram, pitit Nebat la, li lakòz pèp Izrayèl la peche tou. Li pa t' soti pou l' te kite vye chemen sa a.
He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, and followed the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin. He didn’t depart from it.
3 Se konsa li fè Seyè a fache sou moun peyi Izrayèl yo. Se sa ki fè Seyè a te lage yo nan men Azayèl, wa peyi Siri a, ak nan men Bennadad, pitit li, anpil fwa.
The LORD’s anger burnt against Israel, and he delivered them into the hand of Hazael king of Syria, and into the hand of Benhadad the son of Hazael, continually.
4 Lè sa a, Joakaz lapriyè nan pye Seyè a. Seyè a reponn li paske li te wè jan wa peyi Siri a t'ap toupizi moun peyi Izrayèl yo.
Jehoahaz begged the LORD, and the LORD listened to him; for he saw the oppression of Israel, how the king of Syria oppressed them.
5 Seyè a voye yon moun pou sove pèp la. Se konsa, moun peyi Izrayèl yo soti anba men pèp Siri a. Yo tanmen viv ankò ak kè poze tankou anvan.
(The LORD gave Israel a saviour, so that they went out from under the hand of the Syrians; and the children of Israel lived in their tents as before.
6 Atousa, yo pa t' sispann fè peche fanmi Jewoboram yo te lakòz pèp la te fè. Yo lage kò yo nan fè menm peche yo tou. Estati Astate a te toujou kanpe lavil Samari.
Nevertheless they didn’t depart from the sins of the house of Jeroboam, with which he made Israel to sin, but walked in them; and the Asherah also remained in Samaria.)
7 Lame Joakaz te rete avèk sèlman senkant kavalye, dis cha lagè ak dimil (10.000) sòlda apye, paske wa peyi Siri a te touye tout lòt yo, li te pilonnen yo anba pye l' tankou pousyè.
For he didn’t leave to Jehoahaz of the people any more than fifty horsemen, and ten chariots, and ten thousand footmen; for the king of Syria destroyed them and made them like the dust in threshing.
8 Rès istwa Joakaz la ansanm ak tou sa li te fè, n'a jwenn yo ekri nan liv Istwa Wa peyi Izrayèl yo.
Now the rest of the acts of Jehoahaz, and all that he did, and his might, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
9 Lè Joakaz mouri, yo antere l' lavil Samari. Se Joas, pitit gason l' lan, ki moute wa nan plas li.
Jehoahaz slept with his fathers; and they buried him in Samaria; and Joash his son reigned in his place.
10 Wa Joas t'ap mache sou trannsetan depi li t'ap gouvènen peyi Jida lè Joas, pitit Joakaz la, moute wa peyi Izrayèl. Li gouvènen peyi a pandan sèzan nan lavil Samari.
In the thirty-seventh year of Joash king of Judah, Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz began to reign over Israel in Samaria for sixteen years.
11 Men, li te fè sa ki mal nan je Seyè a, li te lage kò l' nan fè menm peche ak Jewoboram, pitit Nebat la, li lakòz pèp Izrayèl la peche tou. Li lage kò l' pi rèd ladan l'.
He did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight. He didn’t depart from all the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin; but he walked in them.
12 Tout rès istwa Joas la, tout sa li te fè, jan li te vanyan sòlda lè li t'ap fè lagè ak Amasya, wa peyi Jida a, tou sa te ekri nan liv Istwa Wa peyi Izrayèl yo.
Now the rest of the acts of Joash, and all that he did, and his might with which he fought against Amaziah king of Judah, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
13 Lè li mouri, yo antere l' menm kote ak lòt wa peyi Izrayèl yo lavil Samari. Se Jewoboram ki moute wa nan plas li.
Joash slept with his fathers; and Jeroboam sat on his throne. Joash was buried in Samaria with the kings of Israel.
14 Elize tonbe malad. Se maladi sa a ki te pou pote l' ale. Joas, wa peyi Izrayèl la, al wè l'. Wa a kriye, li lage kò l' sou figi Elize, li di konsa: —Papa mwen! Papa mwen! Ou menm ki te tankou yon gwo lame pou pran defans peyi Izrayèl la, w'ap mouri vre!
Now Elisha became sick with the illness of which he died; and Joash the king of Israel came down to him, and wept over him, and said, “My father, my father, the chariots of Israel and its horsemen!”
15 Elize di li: —Pran yon banza ak kèk flèch. Wa a pran yon banza ak kèk flèch.
Elisha said to him, “Take bow and arrows;” and he took bow and arrows for himself.
16 Lè sa a, Elize di l' konsa: —Pare ou pou ou tire yon flèch. Wa a pare. Elize mete men pa l' sou men wa a.
He said to the king of Israel, “Put your hand on the bow;” and he put his hand on it. Elisha laid his hands on the king’s hands.
17 Li di l': —Louvri fennèt ki bay sou solèy leve a. Wa a louvri fennèt la. Elize di li: —Koulye a tire! Wa a tire flèch la, lè sa a Elize pale byen fò li di: —Men flèch Seyè a voye pou bay delivrans lan, flèch ki pral kraze peyi Siri a! Ou pral bat moun Siri yo lavil Afèk jouk ou a fini ak yo.
He said, “Open the window eastward;” and he opened it. Then Elisha said, “Shoot!” and he shot. He said, “The LORD’s arrow of victory, even the arrow of victory over Syria; for you will strike the Syrians in Aphek until you have consumed them.”
18 Apre sa, Elize di wa a: —Pran lòt flèch yo! Wa a pran flèch yo. Elize di li: —Frape yo atè. Wa a frape yo atè an twa fwa epi li rete.
He said, “Take the arrows;” and he took them. He said to the king of Israel, “Strike the ground;” and he struck three times, and stopped.
19 Lè sa a, pwofèt la fache sou li, li di l' konsa: —Se pou ou te frape atè a senk fwa osinon sis fwa. Konsa, ou ta bat moun peyi Siri yo jouk ou ta fini nèt nèt ak yo. Koulye a, ou pral bat yo twa fwa ase.
The man of God was angry with him, and said, “You should have struck five or six times. Then you would have struck Syria until you had consumed it, but now you will strike Syria just three times.”
20 Elize mouri, yo antere l'. Chak lanne moun Moab yo te konn fè bann pou vin fè piyay nan peyi Izrayèl la.
Elisha died, and they buried him. Now the bands of the Moabites invaded the land at the coming in of the year.
21 Yon lè moun peyi Izrayèl yo tapral antere yon moun mouri, yo wè yonn nan bann moun Moab yo, yo prese lage kadav la nan tonm Elize a epi yo met deyò. Kadav la al tonbe sou zosman Elize yo. Lamenm, mò a leve vivan, li kanpe sou de pye l'.
As they were burying a man, behold, they saw a band of raiders; and they threw the man into Elisha’s tomb. As soon as the man touched Elisha’s bones, he revived, and stood up on his feet.
22 Azayèl, wa peyi Siri a, te maltrete pèp peyi Izrayèl la pandan tout reny Joakaz.
Hazael king of Syria oppressed Israel all the days of Jehoahaz.
23 Men, Seyè a te aji byen ak moun peyi Izrayèl yo, li te gen pitye pou yo. Li pa t' kite moun fini ak yo, li te ede yo poutèt kontra li te pase ak Abraram, Izarak ak Jakòb. Li pa janm bliye pèp li a, jouk lè sa a.
But the LORD was gracious to them, and had compassion on them, and favoured them because of his covenant with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and would not destroy them and he didn’t cast them from his presence as yet.
24 Lè Azayèl, wa peyi Siri a, mouri, se Bennadad, pitit li, ki moute wa nan plas li.
Hazael king of Syria died; and Benhadad his son reigned in his place.
25 Wa Joas, pitit gason Joakaz, repran nan men Bennadad tout lavil Azayèl te pran yo lè li t'ap fè lagè ak Joakaz la, papa l'. Joas bat Bennadad an twa fwa, li reprann tout lavil peyi Izrayèl yo nan men l'.
Jehoash the son of Jehoahaz took again out of the hand of Benhadad the son of Hazael the cities which he had taken out of the hand of Jehoahaz his father by war. Joash struck him three times, and recovered the cities of Israel.
