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'.
Ahaz was twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. He didn’t do that which was right in the LORD his God’s eyes, 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 nations 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.
He sacrificed and burned incense in the high places, 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 wage war. 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 lived 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 your servant and your son. Come up and save me out of the hand of the king of Syria and out of 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.
Ahaz took the silver and gold that was found in the LORD’s house, 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.
The king of Assyria listened to him; and the king of Assyria went up against Damascus and took it, and carried its people captive to Kir, and killed 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.
King Ahaz went to Damascus to meet Tiglath Pileser king of Assyria, and saw the altar that was at Damascus; and King Ahaz sent to Urijah the priest a drawing of the altar and plans to build 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.
Urijah the priest built an altar. According to all that King Ahaz had sent from Damascus, so Urijah the priest made it for the coming of King Ahaz from Damascus.
12 Lè Akaz tounen soti Damas, li wè lotèl la, li pwoche, li moute bò lotèl la.
When the king had come from Damascus, the king saw the altar; and the king came near 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.
He burned his burnt offering and his meal offering, poured his drink offering, and sprinkled the blood of his peace offerings on 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.
The bronze altar, which was before the LORD, he brought from the front of the house, from between his altar and the LORD’s house, and put it on the north side of his 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.
King Ahaz commanded Urijah the priest, saying, “On the great altar burn the morning burnt offering, the evening meal offering, the king’s burnt offering and his meal offering, with the burnt offering of all the people of the land, their meal offering, and their drink offerings; and sprinkle on it all the blood of the burnt offering, and all the blood of the sacrifice; but the bronze altar will be for me to inquire by.”
16 Ozyas, prèt la, fè tou sa wa Akaz te ba li lòd fè.
Urijah the priest did so, 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.
King Ahaz cut off the panels of the bases, and removed the basin from off them, and took down the sea from off the bronze oxen that were under it, and put it on a pavement of stone.
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.
He removed the covered way for the Sabbath that they had built in the house, and the king’s outer entrance to the LORD’s house, because of 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, aren’t they 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.
Ahaz slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in David’s city; and Hezekiah his son reigned in his place.
