II Chronicles 20

It came to pass after this also, that the children of Moab, and the children of Ammon, and with them other beside the Ammonites, came against Jehoshaphat to battle.

Kèk tan apre sa, moun peyi Moab yo ak moun peyi Amon yo mete ansanm ak moun Mawon yo, yo vin atake Jozafa.

Then there came some that told Jehoshaphat, saying, There cometh a great multitude against thee from beyond the sea on this side Syria; and, behold, they be in Hazazon–tamar, which is En–gedi.

Yo vin bay Jozafa nouvèl la, yo di l' konsa: -Men yon gwo lame soti nan peyi Edon lòt bò Lanmè Mouri a vin atake ou. Yo gen tan pran lavil Azason Tama. Azason Tama, se yon lòt non yo te bay lavil Angedi.

And Jehoshaphat feared, and set himself to seek the LORD, and proclaimed a fast throughout all Judah.

Yon sèl laperèz pran Jozafa. Li pran desizyon mande Seyè a sa pou l' fè. Li bay lòd pou tout moun nan peyi a fè jèn.

And Judah gathered themselves together, to ask help of the LORD: even out of all the cities of Judah they came to seek the LORD.

Moun soti toupatou nan lavil peyi Jida yo vin lapriyè nan pye Seyè a.

And Jehoshaphat stood in the congregation of Judah and Jerusalem, in the house of the LORD, before the new court,

Jozafa rete kanpe nan mitan tout pèp peyi Jida a, ansanm ak pèp lavil Jerizalèm lan, devan lakou nèf Tanp Seyè a.

And said, O LORD God of our fathers, art not thou God in heaven? and rulest not thou over all the kingdoms of the heathen? and in thine hand is there not power and might, so that none is able to withstand thee?

Li lapriyè byen fò, li di: -Seyè, Bondye zansèt nou yo, se ou menm ki Bondye nan syèl la. Se ou menm k'ap gouvènen tout nasyon sou latè a. Se nan men ou tout fòs ak tout pouvwa ye. Pesonn pa ka kenbe tèt avè ou.

Art not thou our God, who didst drive out the inhabitants of this land before thy people Israel, and gavest it to the seed of Abraham thy friend for ever?

Ou se Bondye nou. Se ou menm ki te mete tout moun ki te rete nan peyi sa a deyò fè plas pou pèp Izrayèl la. Lèfini, ou bay tout pitit Abraram, zanmi ou lan, peyi a pou l' rele yo pa yo pou tout tan.

And they dwelt therein, and have built thee a sanctuary therein for thy name, saying,

Se isit la yo rete, yo bati yon tanp pou ou. Yo te di

If, when evil cometh upon us, as the sword, judgment, or pestilence, or famine, we stand before this house, and in thy presence, (for thy name is in this house,) and cry unto thee in our affliction, then thou wilt hear and help.

nenpòt malè ki ta ka tonbe sou yo pou pini yo: te mèt lagè, te mèt chatiman, te mèt move maladi osinon grangou, y'ap vin kanpe devan ou, devan Tanp sa a, paske se nan Tanp sa a ou ye. Nan tout mizè yo, y'a lapriyè nan pye ou. W'a tande yo, w'a delivre yo.

And now, behold, the children of Ammon and Moab and mount Seir, whom thou wouldest not let Israel invade, when they came out of the land of Egypt, but they turned from them, and destroyed them not;

Koulye a, men moun peyi Amon yo, moun peyi Moab yo ak moun peyi Edon yo vin atake nou. Lè zansèt nou yo t'ap soti kite peyi Lejip, ou pa t' kite yo antre nan peyi moun sa yo. Se konsa yo te chankre pou yo pa t' pase lakay yo, yo pa detwi yo.

Behold, I say, how they reward us, to come to cast us out of thy possession, which thou hast given us to inherit.

Gade ki jan y'ap fè nou peye sa jòdi a! Men y'ap vin mete nou deyò nan peyi ou te ban nou an!

O our God, wilt thou not judge them? for we have no might against this great company that cometh against us; neither know we what to do: but our eyes are upon thee.

Ou se Bondye nou. Se ou menm ki pou pini yo paske nou pa gen fòs pou n' kanpe devan tout gwo lame sa a k'ap vin atake nou an. Nou pa konn sa pou nou fè! N'ap tann sa ou pral fè pou nou.

And all Judah stood before the LORD, with their little ones, their wives, and their children.

Tout mesye peyi Jida yo te kanpe la devan kay Seyè a, ansanm ak madanm yo, pitit yo ak pitit pitit yo.

Then upon Jahaziel the son of Zechariah, the son of Benaiah, the son of Jeiel, the son of Mattaniah, a Levite of the sons of Asaph, came the Spirit of the LORD in the midst of the congregation;

Lespri Seyè a desann sou yon moun Levi ki te la nan mitan yo. Li te rele Jaziyèl. Se te yon moun nan branch fanmi Zakari. Zakari sa a te pitit Benaja ki te pitit Jeyèl. Jeyèl te pitit Matanya ki te pitit Asaf.

And he said, Hearken ye, all Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem, and thou king Jehoshaphat, Thus saith the LORD unto you, Be not afraid nor dismayed by reason of this great multitude; for the battle is not yours, but God's.

Jaziyèl di konsa: -Louvri zòrèy nou, nou tout moun peyi Jida, moun lavil Jerizalèm ansanm ak ou menm, wa Jozafa. Seyè a voye di nou: Pa dekouraje. Nou pa bezwen pè devan gwo lame sa a. Batay sa a se pa batay pa nou, se batay Bondye menm.

To morrow go ye down against them: behold, they come up by the cliff of Ziz; and ye shall find them at the end of the brook, before the wilderness of Jeruel.

Denmen, nou mèt desann al atake yo. Yo pral pase moute sou ti bit flè yo. N'a kontre ak yo nan pwent ravin ki mennen nan dezè bò Jewouyèl la.

Ye shall not need to fight in this battle: set yourselves, stand ye still, and see the salvation of the LORD with you, O Judah and Jerusalem: fear not, nor be dismayed; to morrow go out against them: for the LORD will be with you.

Nou p'ap bezwen nan goumen menm. N'ap annik pran pozisyon nou. Apre sa, tann. N'ap wè Seyè a ap ban nou gany. Wi, nou menm moun peyi Jida ak moun lavil Jerizalèm, nou pa bezwen pè, nou pa bezwen gen kè kase. Denmen, mache pran yo, paske Seyè a ap kanpe la avèk nou.

And Jehoshaphat bowed his head with his face to the ground: and all Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem fell before the LORD, worshipping the LORD.

Lè sa a, wa Jozafa mete ajenou, li bese tèt li byen ba devan Seyè a jouk fwon li rive atè. Tout moun peyi Jida yo ak moun lavil Jerizalèm yo bese tèt yo byen ba devan Seyè a tou pou adore l'.

And the Levites, of the children of the Kohathites, and of the children of the Korhites, stood up to praise the LORD God of Israel with a loud voice on high.

Moun Levi branch fanmi Keyat yo ansanm ak moun Levi branch fanmi Kore yo leve kanpe, yo pran fè lwanj Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, byen fò.

And they rose early in the morning, and went forth into the wilderness of Tekoa: and as they went forth, Jehoshaphat stood and said, Hear me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of Jerusalem; Believe in the LORD your God, so shall ye be established; believe his prophets, so shall ye prosper.

Nan denmen maten, byen bonè, pèp la leve, li pati pou dezè Tekoa a. Le yo tapral leve lamach, Jozafa pale ak yo, li di konsa: -Nou menm moun peyi Jida ak moun lavil Jerizalèm, koute sa m'ap di nou! Mete konfyans nou nan Seyè a, Bondye nou an! Nou p'ap vole gadjè. Se pou nou kwè sa pwofèt li yo di nou an. N'ap genyen batay la.

And when he had consulted with the people, he appointed singers unto the LORD, and that should praise the beauty of holiness, as they went out before the army, and to say, Praise the LORD; for his mercy endureth for ever.

Apre sa, li fè yon pale ak pèp la. Li fè kèk mizisyen pran mache devan sòlda yo ak rad yo konn mete lè gen gwo fèt seremoni. Yo t'ap mache devan sòlda yo, yo t'ap chante: -Lwanj pou Seyè a! Li p'ap janm sispann renmen nou!

And when they began to sing and to praise, the LORD set ambushments against the children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, which were come against Judah; and they were smitten.

Lè yo tanmen chante ak kè kontan pou fè lwanj Seyè a, Seyè a lage yon sèl bouyay nan mitan moun Amon yo, moun Moab yo ak moun mòn Seyi yo ki te vin atake peyi Jida a, yo pèdi batay la.

For the children of Ammon and Moab stood up against the inhabitants of mount Seir, utterly to slay and destroy them: and when they had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, every one helped to destroy another.

Moun peyi Amon yo ak moun peyi Moab yo atake lame moun mòn Seyi yo, yo detwi yo nèt. Lèfini, yo vire yonn sou lòt nan yon chen manje chen, yonn touye lòt.

And when Judah came toward the watch tower in the wilderness, they looked unto the multitude, and, behold, they were dead bodies fallen to the earth, and none escaped.

Lè moun peyi Jida yo rive sou tèt yon ti bit kote yo ka wè tout dezè a, yo voye je yo gade kote lènmi yo ye a, yo wè yo tout te kouche mouri atè a. Pat gen yon moun ki te chape.

And when Jehoshaphat and his people came to take away the spoil of them, they found among them in abundance both riches with the dead bodies, and precious jewels, which they stripped off for themselves, more than they could carry away: and they were three days in gathering of the spoil, it was so much.

Jozafa ansanm ak lame li a desann al piye tou sa lènmi yo te kite. yo jwenn kantite bèt, pwovizyon, rad ak anpil lòt bagay ki te gen valè. Yo pase twa jou ap ranmase. Men te gen sitelman, yo pa t' ka pran tout pote ale.

And on the fourth day they assembled themselves in the valley of Berachah; for there they blessed the LORD: therefore the name of the same place was called, The valley of Berachah, unto this day.

Sou katriyèm jou a, yo sanble nan fon benediksyon an pou fè lwanj Seyè a pou tou sa li te fè pou yo. Se poutèt sa yo rele fon an Beraka, non ki rete pou li jouk jounen jòdi a.

Then they returned, every man of Judah and Jerusalem, and Jehoshaphat in the forefront of them, to go again to Jerusalem with joy; for the LORD had made them to rejoice over their enemies.

Lèfini, tout moun peyi Jida yo ak moun lavil Jerizalèm yo ak wa Jozafa alatèt yo tounen lavil Jerizalèm ak gwo kè kontan, paske se Seyè a menm ki te ba yo okazyon fè fèt sou do lènmi yo.

And they came to Jerusalem with psalteries and harps and trumpets unto the house of the LORD.

Lè yo rive lavil Jerizalèm, yo ale nan Tanp Seyè a, pandan yo t'ap jwe gita, bandjo ak twonpèt.

And the fear of God was on all the kingdoms of those countries, when they had heard that the LORD fought against the enemies of Israel.

Lè moun lòt nasyon yo vin konnen jan Seyè a te kraze lènmi peyi Jida yo, yo tout te soti pè anpil.

So the realm of Jehoshaphat was quiet: for his God gave him rest round about.

Se konsa rèy Jozafa a pase dous, san bri san kont. Bondye te fè tout peyi ki te nan vwazinaj yo viv byen avè l'.

And Jehoshaphat reigned over Judah: he was thirty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty and five years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Azubah the daughter of Shilhi.

Lè Jozafa moute sou fotèy wa peyi Jida a, li te gen trannsenkan sou tèt li. Li pase vennsenkan ap gouvènen lavil Jerizalèm. Manman l' te rele Azouba. Se te pitit fi Chilki.

And he walked in the way of Asa his father, and departed not from it, doing that which was right in the sight of the LORD.

Jozafa te swiv Asa, papa l', pye pou pye nan tou sa li te fè. Li te fè sa ki dwat devan Seyè a.

Howbeit the high places were not taken away: for as yet the people had not prepared their hearts unto the God of their fathers.

Tansèlman, tanp zidòl yo te la toujou nan peyi a, kifè pèp la pa t'ap sèvi Bondye zansèt yo a ak tout kè yo.

Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, first and last, behold, they are written in the book of Jehu the son of Hanani, who is mentioned in the book of the kings of Israel.

Tou sa Jozafa te fè depi premye jou li te moute wa a rive jouk dènye jou a, n'a jwenn sa ekri nan liv Istwa Jeou, pitit Anani an, ki yon pòsyon nan liv Istwa Wa peyi Izrayèl yo.

And after this did Jehoshaphat king of Judah join himself with Ahaziah king of Israel, who did very wickedly:

Yon lè, Jozafa, wa peyi Jida a, te pase kontra ak Okozyas, wa peyi Izrayèl la, ki te fè anpil bagay ki te mal devan Seyè a.

And he joined himself with him to make ships to go to Tarshish: and they made the ships in Ezion–geber.

Yo mete ansanm, yo fè fè anpil gwo batiman nan pò lavil Ezyongebè pou al fè trafik sou lanmè jouk nan peyi Tasis.

Then Eliezer the son of Dodavah of Mareshah prophesied against Jehoshaphat, saying, Because thou hast joined thyself with Ahaziah, the LORD hath broken thy works. And the ships were broken, that they were not able to go to Tarshish.

Men Elyezè, pitit gason Dodava a, moun lavil Marecha, te avèti Jozafa. Li te di l': -Paske ou te mete tèt ou ak Okozyas, Seyè a pral kraze sa ou te bati a. Batiman yo kraze, yo pa janm rive vwayaje pou peyi Tasis.
