2 Wa 16

1 Wa Peka, pitit Remalya, te gen tan gen disetan depi li t'ap gouvènen peyi Izrayèl lè Akaz, pitit Jotam, moute wa peyi Jida.

In the seventeenth year of Pekah the son of Remaliah Ahaz the son of Jotham king of Judah began to reign.

2 Akaz te gen ventan lè sa a. Li gouvènen nan lavil Jerizalèm pandan sèzan. Men, li pa t' mache dwat devan Seyè a, Bondye li a, tankou David, zansèt li a, te fè l'.

Twenty years old [was] Ahaz when he began to reign, and reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem, and did not [that which was] right in the sight of the LORD his God, like David his father.

3 Li te pito fè tankou wa peyi Izrayèl yo, li menm rive ofri pwòp pitit gason l' pou yo boule pou zidòl yo, dapre vye prensip krimenèl nasyon Seyè a te mete deyò pou fè plas pou moun Izrayèl yo te konn swiv.

But he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, and even made his son to pass through the fire, according to the abominations of the heathen, whom the LORD cast out from before the children of Israel.

4 Li fè touye bèt, li boule lansan nan tout tanp zidòl yo sou ti mòn yo ak anba gwo pyebwa.

And he sacrificed and burnt incense in the high places, and on the hills, and under every green tree.

5 Se sou reny Akaz, Rezin, wa peyi Siri a, ak Peka, pitit gason Remalya a, wa peyi Izrayèl, mache sou lavil Jerizalèm pou yo atake l'. Yo fèmen Akaz anndan lavil la, men yo pa t' ka pran lavil la.

Then Rezin king of Syria and Pekah son of Remaliah king of Israel came up to Jerusalem to war: and they besieged Ahaz, but could not overcome [him].

6 Se lè sa a wa peyi Edon an pwofite pou reprann lavil Elat nan men moun peyi Jida yo, li mete yo deyò nan lavil la. Se konsa moun Edon yo tounen nan lavil la kote yo rete jouk jounen jòdi a.

At that time Rezin king of Syria recovered Elath to Syria, and drove the Jews from Elath: and the Syrians came to Elath, and have dwelt there to this day.

7 Lè sa a, Akaz voye mesaj bay Tiglat Pilesè, wa peyi Lasiri a, pou di l' konsa: —M'ap sèvi ou tankou pitit ou. Tanpri, vin delivre m' anba men wa peyi Siri a ak wa peyi Izrayèl la ki vin atake m'.

So Ahaz sent messengers to Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria, saying, I [am] thy servant and thy son: come up, and save me from the hand of the king of Syria, and from the hand of the king of Israel, who rise up against me.

8 Akaz pran ajan ak lò ki te nan tanp lan ak nan trezò palè wa a, li voye yo fè Tiglat Pilesè, wa peyi Lasiri a, kado.

And Ahaz took the silver and gold that was found in the house of the LORD, and in the treasures of the king's house, and sent [it for] a present to the king of Assyria.

9 Wa Lasiri a koute l' vre, li moute al atake lavil Damas, li pran l'. Li depòte tout moun ki te rete la, mennen yo lavil Ki, epi li fè touye Rezin.

And the king of Assyria hearkened to him: for the king of Assyria went up against Damascus, and took it, and carried [the people of] it captive to Kir, and slew Rezin.

10 Lè wa Akaz te lavil Damas pou l' te kontre ak Tiglat Pilesè, wa peyi Lasiri a, li wè lotèl ki te la a. Li leve plan lotèl la, li voye l' bay Ouri, prèt la.

And king Ahaz went to Damascus to meet Tiglath-pileser king of Assyria, and saw an altar that [was] at Damascus: and king Ahaz sent to Urijah the priest the fashion of the altar, and the pattern of it, according to all the workmanship of it.

11 Se konsa, Ouri gen tan bati yon lotèl sou modèl wa Akaz te voye ba li soti Damas la anvan menm Akaz tounen soti Damas.

And Urijah the priest built an altar according to all that king Ahaz had sent from Damascus: so Urijah the priest made [it] against king Ahaz came from Damascus.

12 Lè Akaz tounen soti Damas, li wè lotèl la, li pwoche, li moute bò lotèl la.

And when the king had come from Damascus, the king saw the altar: and the king approached to the altar, and offered on it.

13 Li fè boule yon bèt sou li, li fè ofrann grenn jaden. Li vide yon ofrann diven ak san bèt li te ofri pou di mèsi a sou lotèl la tou.

And he burnt his burnt-offering and his meat-offering, and poured his drink-offering, and sprinkled the blood of his peace-offerings upon the altar.

14 Lotèl an kwiv ki apa pou Seyè a te ant lotèl sa a ak kay Seyè a. Akaz fè deplase l' wete devan Tanp lan, li mete l' sou kote lòt lotèl la sou bò nò.

And he brought also the brazen altar, which [was] before the LORD, from the front of the house, from between the altar and the house of the LORD, and put it on the north side of the altar.

15 Epi Akaz bay Ouri lòd sa a: —Se sou gwo lotèl mwen an pou ou fè ofrann bèt yo boule nèt chak maten an ansanm ak ofrann grenn jaden chak aswè a. Se sou li pou ou fè ofrann bèt pou boule nèt ak ofrann grenn jaden pou wa a ak pou tout pèp la. Se sou li w'a ofri san bèt y'a touye yo ak diven ofrann yo. Se sou li w'a vide san tout bèt yo ofri pou boule nèt ak bèt y'a ofri bay Bondye. Pou lotèl an kwiv la menm, kite sa sou kont mwen.

And king Ahaz commanded Urijah the priest, saying, Upon the great altar burn the morning burnt-offering, and the evening meat-offering, and the king's burnt-sacrifice, and his meat-offering, with the burnt-offering of all the people of the land, and their meat-offering, and their drink-offerings; and sprinkle upon it all the blood of the burnt-offering, and all the blood of the sacrifice: and the brazen altar shall be for me to inquire [by].

16 Ozyas, prèt la, fè tou sa wa Akaz te ba li lòd fè.

Thus did Urijah the priest, according to all that king Ahaz commanded.

17 Apre sa, wa Akaz fè demoute kabwa an kwiv yo. Li fè wete gwo basin an kwiv ki te chita sou bèf yo, li fè mete l' sou yon pave wòch.

And king Ahaz cut off the borders of the bases, and removed the laver from off them; and took down the sea from off the brazen oxen that [were] under it, and put it upon a pavement of stones.

18 Lèfini, pou l' te fè wa peyi Lasiri a plezi, li wete platfòm yo te bati anndan Tanp lan pou jou repo a. Li fè fèmen pòt deyò a kote wa a te konn pase pou antre nan Tanp lan.

And the covert for the sabbath that they had built in the house, and the king's entry without, he turned from the house of the LORD for the king of Assyria.

19 Tout rès istwa wa Akaz la, tou sa li te fè, n'a jwenn sa ekri nan liv Istwa wa peyi Jida yo.

Now the rest of the acts of Ahaz which he did, [are] they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?

20 Lè wa Akaz mouri, yo antere l' menm kote ak zansèt li yo nan Lavil David. Se Ezekyas, pitit li, ki moute wa nan plas li.

And Ahaz slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David: and Hezekiah his son reigned in his stead.
