2 Istwa 25-27
Haitian Creole Version
25 ¶ Amasya te gen vennsenkan lè li moute wa. Li gouvènen lavil Jerizalèm pandan ventnevan. Manman l' te rele Jeojadan, moun lavil Jerizalèm.
2 Amasya te fè sa ki dwat devan Seyè a, men pa ak tout kè li.
3 Lè Amasya fin chita otorite l', li fè touye chèf lame ki t'ap sèvi avè l' yo epi ki te touye papa l'.
4 Men li pa t' manyen pitit ansasen sa yo, paske dapre sa ki ekri nan Liv lalwa Moyiz la, Bondye te bay lòd sa a: Nou pa gen dwa touye yon papa pou krim pitit li fè. Ni nou pa gen dwa touye yon pitit pou krim papa l' te fè. Y'a touye yon moun pou krim li menm li fè.
5 Amasya reyini tout gason nan branch fanmi Jida yo ak nan branch fanmi Benjamen yo, li moute yon lame, chak fanmi apa. Li mete yon chèf alatèt chak rejiman mil sòlda ak yon chèf alatèt chak divizyon san sòlda. Li fè konte tout gason ki te gen ventan ak sa ki te gen ventan depase. Li fè kouche yo sou rejis. Li jwenn te gen twasanmil (300.000) sòlda ki te pi bon nan sèvi ak zam, ki te pare pou fè lagè, ki te gen ladrès pou sèvi ak frenn ak gwo plak pwotèj.
6 Lèfini, li pran sanmil (100.000) vanyan sòlda nan peyi Izrayèl, li peye yo chak twasan (300) kilo ajan pou yo goumen pou li.
7 Men yon pwofèt Bondye vin di li: -Monwa, pa pran sòlda peyi Izrayèl sa yo ak ou nan lame a, paske Seyè a pa avèk moun peyi Izrayèl yo, avèk bann pitit Efrayim sa yo.
8 Paske si ou konprann ou ka ranfòse lame ou la avèk moun sa yo pou ou al fè lagè, Bondye ap fè ou bese tèt devan lènmi ou yo, paske se Bondye ki gen pouvwa pou fè ou genyen osinon pou fè ou pèdi batay la.
9 Amasya mande pwofèt Bondye a: -Bon, sa k'ap rive twa san kilo ajan sa yo mwen deja bay sòlda peyi Izrayèl yo? Pwofèt la reponn li: -Seyè a ka renmèt ou plis pase sa!
10 Se konsa Amasya fè sòlda li te fè vini soti nan peyi Efrayim yo mete kò yo sou kote, li voye yo al fè wout yo lakay yo. Men sòlda sa yo te fache anpil sou moun peyi Jida yo poutèt sa. Yo tounen lakay yo byen move.
11 Amasya mete gason sou li, li mennen lame li a nan Fon Sale a kote li touye dimil (10.000) moun mòn Seyi.
12 Sòlda peyi Jida yo fè dimil (10.000) prizonye met sou sa. Yo pran yo, yo mennen yo sou tèt yon falèz, yo lage yo anba kote yo mouri kraze.
13 Men, sòlda Amasya te voye tounen lakay yo pou yo pa ale nan lagè ansanm avè l' yo, anvayi lavil peyi Jida yo, depi lavil Samari rive lavil Bètowon. Yo touye twamil (3.000) moun, yo pran yon pakèt bagay pote ale.
14 ¶ Lè Amasya t'ap tounen apre li fin kraze moun peyi Edon yo, li pran bondye moun mòn Seyi yo avè l'. Li fè yo tounen bondye pa l', li sèvi yo, li boule lansan pou yo.
15 Seyè a fache kont Amasya. Li voye yon pwofèt pou di l' konsa: -Poukisa koulye a ou pran sèvi bondye yon pèp ki pa t' ka sove pèp sa a anba men ou?
16 Amasya koupe l' lapawòl, li di li: -Depi kilè mwen te nonmen ou konseye wa a? Pe la, si ou pa bezwen m' fè yo wonpi ou! Pwofèt la rete sou sa l' t'ap di a, men li di: -Koulye a mwen konnen Bondye pran desizyon pou l' fini avè ou vre, paske ou fè sa ou fè a, epi ou pa vle koute konsèy mwen.
17 ¶ Men Amasya, wa peyi Jida a, koute konsèy lòt moun, li voye misyon bay Joas, pitit Joakaz, pitit pitit Jeou, wa peyi Izrayèl la, li di l': -Vini non! Ann wè sa ki pi fò!
18 Men, Joas voye reponn li: -Yon jou, yon pye pikan ki te sou mòn Liban an voye yon misyon bay yon pye sèd. Li di l': Bay pitit gason m' lan pitit fi ou la pou l' marye avè l'. Yon bèt bwa pase bò la, li kraze pye pikan an.
19 Amasya, ou di ou kraze moun peyi Edon yo, koulye a, ou kite lògèy vire tèt ou. Men pito ou rete chita lakay ou tande! Poukisa pou w'ap chache traka bay kò ou epi pou sa pase mal ni pou ou, ni pou peyi Jida a?
20 Men Amasya derefize koute l'. Paske se te volonte Bondye pou l' te lage l' nan men Joas poutèt li te pran sèvi bondye pèp Edon yo.
21 Se konsa Joas soti ak lame li pou l' al goumen ak Amasya bò lavil Bètchemès, nan peyi Jida.
22 Lame Izrayèl la bat lame Jida a byen bat. Tout sòlda peyi Jida yo vole gaye, yo kouri al lakay yo.
23 Joas, wa peyi Izrayèl la, fe Amasya, pitit Joas, pitit pitit Joakaz, wa peyi Jida a, prizonye lavil Bètchemès. Lèfini, li mache sou lavil Jerizalèm. Li kraze miray lavil la sou yon longè ki pran depi nan pòtay Efrayim lan rive jouk bò pòtay Kwen an. Sa te fè antou
24 Li pran dènye bagay an lò ak an ajan li jwenn, tou sa ki te nan Tanp Seyè a sou kont Obèd-Edon, ak tout richès ki te nan palè a, san konte kantite moun li te fè prizonye tankou yon garanti. Apre sa, li tounen tounen l' lavil Samari.
25 Amasya, wa peyi Jida a, te viv kenzan ankò apre lanmò Joas, pitit Joakaz, wa peyi Izrayèl la.
26 Tout rès istwa Amasya a, depi premye jou li te moute wa a rive jouk dènye jou a, tou sa ekri nan liv Istwa Wa peyi Izrayèl yo.
27 Depi lè Amasya te lage pye Seyè a, yo t'ap fè konplo sou do l' lavil Jerizalèm. Bout pou bout, li kouri al kache lavil lakis. Men, yo voye dèyè l' jouk lavil lakis, yo pran l', yo touye l'.
28 Lèfini yo pote kadav li sou chwal lavil Jerizalèm. Yo antere l' nan tonm wa yo nan lavil David la.
180 mèt nan miray la.
26 ¶ Tout pèp peyi Jida a pran Ozyas, pitit gason Amasya a, yo fè l' wa nan plas papa l'. Ozyas te gen sèzan lè sa a.
2 Se li menm ki reprann lavil Elat, li fè l' tounen anba otorite wa peyi Jida a apre lanmò papa l'.
3 Ozyas te gen sèzan lè li moute wa peyi Jida. Li gouvènen nan lavil Jerizalèm pandan senkanndezan. Manman l' te rele Jekolya. Se te moun lavil Jerizalèm.
4 Ozyas te fè sa ki dwat devan Seyè a menm jan ak Amasya, papa l', te fè l'.
5 Pandan toutan Zakari te la pou moutre l' jan pou l' gen krentif Bondye a li t'ap sèvi Seyè a san mank. Pandan tout tan li t'ap sèvi Seyè a, Bondye te fè zafè l' mache byen.
6 Ozyas leve al goumen ak moun Filisti yo. Li kraze miray ranpa lavil Gat, lavil Jabne ak lavil Asdòd. Li bati lòt lavil ak miray ranpa nan zòn Asdòd ak nan mitan peyi Filisti a.
7 Bondye ede l' goumen kont moun Filisti yo, kont moun Arabi ki t'ap viv lavil Goubaal yo, ak kont moun Mawon yo.
8 Moun Amon yo te peye lajan taks bay Ozyas. Yo t'ap nonmen non l' jouk sou fwontyè peyi Lejip, paske li te vin gen anpil pouvwa.
9 Ozyas ranfòse defans lavil Jerizalèm. Li bati gwo fò tou won bò Pòtay Kwen an, bò Pòtay Fon an ak nan yon kwen miray la.
10 Li bati gwo fò tou won nan dezè a, li fouye gwo basen pou kenbe dlo paske li te gen anpil mouton ni nan plenn lan ni sou platon yo. Li te gen moun ap travay pou li nan jaden li yo, ak moun pou okipe jaden rezen l' yo nan mòn, paske li te renmen travay latè.
11 Ozyas te gen yon gwo lame toujou pare pou fè lagè. Lame a te separe an gwoup, dapre jan yo te enskri nan rejis Jeiyèl, sekretè wa a, ak Masyas, grefye a, te kenbe sou kontwòl Ananya, yonn nan gwo chèf wa a.
12 Te gen demil sisan (2.600) chèf fanmi alatèt vanyan sòlda sa yo.
13 Sou zòd yo te gen yon lame ak twasansètmil senksan (307.500) sòlda toujou pare pou lagè. Yo te grannèg anpil, yo te toujou pare pou al goumen ak lènmi wa yo.
14 Ozyas bay tout moun nan lame a plak pwotèj, frenn, kas pou tèt yo, rad an plak fè, banza ak flèch, ak wòch pou gwo fistibal.
15 Nan lavil Jerizalèm, li te gen yon enjenyè ki t'ap fè tout kalite machin pou voye flèch ak gwo wòch. Li fè mete machin sa yo nan fò won yo ak nan kwen miray ranpa yo. Yo t'ap nonmen non Ozyas byen lwen, paske Bondye te sitèlman ede l' li te vin gen anpil pouvwa.
16 ¶ Men, lè li fin chita pouvwa l' byen chita, lògèy vire tèt li, sa lakòz pye l' chape. Li fè bagay Seyè a, Bondye li a, pa t' ba li dwa fè. Yon jou li antre nan Tanp Seyè a pou boule lansan sou lotèl lansan an.
17 Azarya, prèt la, antre dèyè l' ak katreven lòt prèt Seyè a, tout vanyan gason.
18 Yo vin kanpe devan wa a, yo di l': -Ozyas, ou pa gen dwa boule lansan pou Seyè a. Se prèt yo ase, moun fanmi Arawon yo, yo mete apa pou fè sa. Wete kò ou kote yo mete apa nèt pou Seyè a. Paske sa w'ap fè a pa bon devan Bondye. Bondye p'ap kontan avè ou poutèt sa.
19 Ozyas te kanpe ak lansanswa a nan men l' pou l' te ofri lansan an. Li move sou prèt yo. Lamenm, nan mitan Tanp Seyè a, toupre lansan an, devan tout prèt yo, yon move maladi po parèt sou fwon li.
20 Lè granprèt la, Azarya, ak lòt prèt yo gade l', yo wè maladi a parèt sou fwon li. Yo mete l' deyò. Li menm, li prese soti paske se Seyè a menm ki te pini l'.
21 Wa Ozyas rete ak maladi po a sou li jouk li mouri. Li te rete nan yon ti kay apa pou kont li, jan yo fè l' pou moun ki gen maladi sa a. Yo enpoze l' mete pye l' nan kay Seyè a. Se Jotam, pitit gason l' lan, ki te reskonsab tout bagay nan palè a. Se li menm tou ki te gouvènen pèp la nan peyi a.
22 Pwofèt Izayi, pitit Amòz la, te ekri tout rès istwa Ozyas la, depi premye jou li te moute wa a rive jouk dènye jou a.
23 Lè Ozyas mouri, yo antere l' apa nan simityè wa yo. Poutèt vye maladi po li a, yo pa t' mete l' nan tonm wa yo. Se Jotam, pitit li a, ki moute wa nan plas li.
27 ¶ Jotam te gen vennsenkan lè li moute wa peyi Jida. Li gouvènen nan lavil Jerizalèm pandan sèzan. Manman l' te rele Jewoucha. Se te pitit fi Zadòk.
2 Jotam te fè sa ki dwat devan Seyè a, tankou Ozyas, papa l', te fè. Tansèlman, li pa t' janm mete pwent pye l' nan Tanp lan. Pèp la menm te toujou ap fè vye sèvis li yo.
3 Se Jotam ki te bati Pòtay Nò Tanp Seyè a. Li fè anpil travay nan miray lavil la nan zòn yo rele Ofèl la.
4 Li bati anpil lavil nan mòn peyi Jida a. Li bati gwo fò ak fò won nan tout rakbwa yo.
5 Li fè lagè ak wa peyi Amon an. Li bat li. Lanne sa a, moun peyi Amon yo ba li twamiltwasan (3.300) kilo ajan, senkantmil (50.000) barik ble ak senkantmil barik lòj. Pandan dezan apre sa, yo ba li menm kantite a chak lanne.
6 Jotam te vin gen anpil pouvwa, paske li te mache dwat devan Seyè a, Bondye li a.
7 Tout rès istwa Jotam lan, tout lagè li te fè, tou sa li te reyalize, nou jwenn sa ekri nan liv Istwa wa peyi Izrayèl ak wa peyi Jida yo.
8 Li te gen vennsenkan lè li moute wa nan peyi Jida. Li gouvènen nan lavil Jerizalèm pandan sèzan.
9 Lè Jotam mouri, yo antere l' nan lavil David la. Se Akaz, pitit li, ki moute wa nan plas li.
2 Chronicles 25-27
New International Version
2 Chronicles 25-27
New International Version
Amaziah King of Judah(A)(B)(C)
25 Amaziah was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem twenty-nine years. His mother’s name was Jehoaddan; she was from Jerusalem. 2 He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, but not wholeheartedly.(D) 3 After the kingdom was firmly in his control, he executed the officials who had murdered his father the king. 4 Yet he did not put their children to death, but acted in accordance with what is written in the Law, in the Book of Moses,(E) where the Lord commanded: “Parents shall not be put to death for their children, nor children be put to death for their parents; each will die for their own sin.”[a](F)
5 Amaziah called the people of Judah together and assigned them according to their families to commanders of thousands and commanders of hundreds for all Judah and Benjamin. He then mustered(G) those twenty years old(H) or more and found that there were three hundred thousand men fit for military service,(I) able to handle the spear and shield. 6 He also hired a hundred thousand fighting men from Israel for a hundred talents[b] of silver.
7 But a man of God came to him and said, “Your Majesty, these troops from Israel(J) must not march with you, for the Lord is not with Israel—not with any of the people of Ephraim. 8 Even if you go and fight courageously in battle, God will overthrow you before the enemy, for God has the power to help or to overthrow.”(K)
9 Amaziah asked the man of God, “But what about the hundred talents I paid for these Israelite troops?”
The man of God replied, “The Lord can give you much more than that.”(L)
10 So Amaziah dismissed the troops who had come to him from Ephraim and sent them home. They were furious with Judah and left for home in a great rage.(M)
11 Amaziah then marshaled his strength and led his army to the Valley of Salt, where he killed ten thousand men of Seir. 12 The army of Judah also captured ten thousand men alive, took them to the top of a cliff and threw them down so that all were dashed to pieces.(N)
13 Meanwhile the troops that Amaziah had sent back and had not allowed to take part in the war raided towns belonging to Judah from Samaria to Beth Horon. They killed three thousand people and carried off great quantities of plunder.
14 When Amaziah returned from slaughtering the Edomites, he brought back the gods of the people of Seir. He set them up as his own gods,(O) bowed down to them and burned sacrifices to them. 15 The anger of the Lord burned against Amaziah, and he sent a prophet to him, who said, “Why do you consult this people’s gods, which could not save(P) their own people from your hand?”
16 While he was still speaking, the king said to him, “Have we appointed you an adviser to the king? Stop! Why be struck down?”
So the prophet stopped but said, “I know that God has determined to destroy you, because you have done this and have not listened to my counsel.”
17 After Amaziah king of Judah consulted his advisers, he sent this challenge to Jehoash[c] son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, king of Israel: “Come, let us face each other in battle.”
18 But Jehoash king of Israel replied to Amaziah king of Judah: “A thistle(Q) in Lebanon sent a message to a cedar in Lebanon, ‘Give your daughter to my son in marriage.’ Then a wild beast in Lebanon came along and trampled the thistle underfoot. 19 You say to yourself that you have defeated Edom, and now you are arrogant and proud. But stay at home! Why ask for trouble and cause your own downfall and that of Judah also?”
20 Amaziah, however, would not listen, for God so worked that he might deliver them into the hands of Jehoash, because they sought the gods of Edom.(R) 21 So Jehoash king of Israel attacked. He and Amaziah king of Judah faced each other at Beth Shemesh in Judah. 22 Judah was routed by Israel, and every man fled to his home. 23 Jehoash king of Israel captured Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Joash, the son of Ahaziah,[d] at Beth Shemesh. Then Jehoash brought him to Jerusalem and broke down the wall of Jerusalem from the Ephraim Gate(S) to the Corner Gate(T)—a section about four hundred cubits[e] long. 24 He took all the gold and silver and all the articles found in the temple of God that had been in the care of Obed-Edom,(U) together with the palace treasures and the hostages, and returned to Samaria.
25 Amaziah son of Joash king of Judah lived for fifteen years after the death of Jehoash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel. 26 As for the other events of Amaziah’s reign, from beginning to end, are they not written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel? 27 From the time that Amaziah turned away from following the Lord, they conspired against him in Jerusalem and he fled to Lachish(V), but they sent men after him to Lachish and killed him there. 28 He was brought back by horse and was buried with his ancestors in the City of Judah.[f]
Uzziah King of Judah(W)(X)
26 Then all the people of Judah(Y) took Uzziah,[g] who was sixteen years old, and made him king in place of his father Amaziah. 2 He was the one who rebuilt Elath and restored it to Judah after Amaziah rested with his ancestors.
3 Uzziah was sixteen years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem fifty-two years. His mother’s name was Jekoliah; she was from Jerusalem. 4 He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, just as his father Amaziah had done. 5 He sought God during the days of Zechariah, who instructed him in the fear[h] of God.(Z) As long as he sought the Lord, God gave him success.(AA)
6 He went to war against the Philistines(AB) and broke down the walls of Gath, Jabneh and Ashdod.(AC) He then rebuilt towns near Ashdod and elsewhere among the Philistines. 7 God helped him against the Philistines and against the Arabs(AD) who lived in Gur Baal and against the Meunites.(AE) 8 The Ammonites(AF) brought tribute to Uzziah, and his fame spread as far as the border of Egypt, because he had become very powerful.
9 Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem at the Corner Gate,(AG) at the Valley Gate(AH) and at the angle of the wall, and he fortified them. 10 He also built towers in the wilderness and dug many cisterns, because he had much livestock in the foothills and in the plain. He had people working his fields and vineyards in the hills and in the fertile lands, for he loved the soil.
11 Uzziah had a well-trained army, ready to go out by divisions according to their numbers as mustered by Jeiel the secretary and Maaseiah the officer under the direction of Hananiah, one of the royal officials. 12 The total number of family leaders over the fighting men was 2,600. 13 Under their command was an army of 307,500 men trained for war, a powerful force to support the king against his enemies. 14 Uzziah provided shields, spears, helmets, coats of armor, bows and slingstones for the entire army.(AI) 15 In Jerusalem he made devices invented for use on the towers and on the corner defenses so that soldiers could shoot arrows and hurl large stones from the walls. His fame spread far and wide, for he was greatly helped until he became powerful.
16 But after Uzziah became powerful, his pride(AJ) led to his downfall.(AK) He was unfaithful(AL) to the Lord his God, and entered the temple of the Lord to burn incense(AM) on the altar of incense. 17 Azariah(AN) the priest with eighty other courageous priests of the Lord followed him in. 18 They confronted King Uzziah and said, “It is not right for you, Uzziah, to burn incense to the Lord. That is for the priests,(AO) the descendants(AP) of Aaron,(AQ) who have been consecrated to burn incense.(AR) Leave the sanctuary, for you have been unfaithful; and you will not be honored by the Lord God.”
19 Uzziah, who had a censer in his hand ready to burn incense, became angry. While he was raging at the priests in their presence before the incense altar in the Lord’s temple, leprosy[i](AS) broke out on his forehead. 20 When Azariah the chief priest and all the other priests looked at him, they saw that he had leprosy on his forehead, so they hurried him out. Indeed, he himself was eager to leave, because the Lord had afflicted him.
21 King Uzziah had leprosy until the day he died. He lived in a separate house[j](AT)—leprous, and banned from the temple of the Lord. Jotham his son had charge of the palace and governed the people of the land.
22 The other events of Uzziah’s reign, from beginning to end, are recorded by the prophet Isaiah(AU) son of Amoz. 23 Uzziah(AV) rested with his ancestors and was buried near them in a cemetery that belonged to the kings, for people said, “He had leprosy.” And Jotham his son succeeded him as king.(AW)
Jotham King of Judah(AX)
27 Jotham(AY) was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem sixteen years. His mother’s name was Jerusha daughter of Zadok. 2 He did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, just as his father Uzziah had done, but unlike him he did not enter the temple of the Lord. The people, however, continued their corrupt practices. 3 Jotham rebuilt the Upper Gate of the temple of the Lord and did extensive work on the wall at the hill of Ophel.(AZ) 4 He built towns in the hill country of Judah and forts and towers in the wooded areas.
5 Jotham waged war against the king of the Ammonites(BA) and conquered them. That year the Ammonites paid him a hundred talents[k] of silver, ten thousand cors[l] of wheat and ten thousand cors[m] of barley. The Ammonites brought him the same amount also in the second and third years.
6 Jotham grew powerful(BB) because he walked steadfastly before the Lord his God.
7 The other events in Jotham’s reign, including all his wars and the other things he did, are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah. 8 He was twenty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem sixteen years. 9 Jotham rested with his ancestors and was buried in the City of David. And Ahaz his son succeeded him as king.

King James Version
25 Amaziah was twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty and nine years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Jehoaddan of Jerusalem.
2 And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, but not with a perfect heart.
3 Now it came to pass, when the kingdom was established to him, that he slew his servants that had killed the king his father.
4 But he slew not their children, but did as it is written in the law in the book of Moses, where the Lord commanded, saying, The fathers shall not die for the children, neither shall the children die for the fathers, but every man shall die for his own sin.
5 Moreover Amaziah gathered Judah together, and made them captains over thousands, and captains over hundreds, according to the houses of their fathers, throughout all Judah and Benjamin: and he numbered them from twenty years old and above, and found them three hundred thousand choice men, able to go forth to war, that could handle spear and shield.
6 He hired also an hundred thousand mighty men of valour out of Israel for an hundred talents of silver.
7 But there came a man of God to him, saying, O king, let not the army of Israel go with thee; for the Lord is not with Israel, to wit, with all the children of Ephraim.
8 But if thou wilt go, do it; be strong for the battle: God shall make thee fall before the enemy: for God hath power to help, and to cast down.
9 And Amaziah said to the man of God, But what shall we do for the hundred talents which I have given to the army of Israel? And the man of God answered, The Lord is able to give thee much more than this.
10 Then Amaziah separated them, to wit, the army that was come to him out of Ephraim, to go home again: wherefore their anger was greatly kindled against Judah, and they returned home in great anger.
11 And Amaziah strengthened himself, and led forth his people, and went to the valley of salt, and smote of the children of Seir ten thousand.
12 And other ten thousand left alive did the children of Judah carry away captive, and brought them unto the top of the rock, and cast them down from the top of the rock, that they all were broken in pieces.
13 But the soldiers of the army which Amaziah sent back, that they should not go with him to battle, fell upon the cities of Judah, from Samaria even unto Bethhoron, and smote three thousand of them, and took much spoil.
14 Now it came to pass, after that Amaziah was come from the slaughter of the Edomites, that he brought the gods of the children of Seir, and set them up to be his gods, and bowed down himself before them, and burned incense unto them.
15 Wherefore the anger of the Lord was kindled against Amaziah, and he sent unto him a prophet, which said unto him, Why hast thou sought after the gods of the people, which could not deliver their own people out of thine hand?
16 And it came to pass, as he talked with him, that the king said unto him, Art thou made of the king's counsel? forbear; why shouldest thou be smitten? Then the prophet forbare, and said, I know that God hath determined to destroy thee, because thou hast done this, and hast not hearkened unto my counsel.
17 Then Amaziah king of Judah took advice, and sent to Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, the son of Jehu, king of Israel, saying, Come, let us see one another in the face.
18 And Joash king of Israel sent to Amaziah king of Judah, saying, The thistle that was in Lebanon sent to the cedar that was in Lebanon, saying, Give thy daughter to my son to wife: and there passed by a wild beast that was in Lebanon, and trode down the thistle.
19 Thou sayest, Lo, thou hast smitten the Edomites; and thine heart lifteth thee up to boast: abide now at home; why shouldest thou meddle to thine hurt, that thou shouldest fall, even thou, and Judah with thee?
20 But Amaziah would not hear; for it came of God, that he might deliver them into the hand of their enemies, because they sought after the gods of Edom.
21 So Joash the king of Israel went up; and they saw one another in the face, both he and Amaziah king of Judah, at Bethshemesh, which belongeth to Judah.
22 And Judah was put to the worse before Israel, and they fled every man to his tent.
23 And Joash the king of Israel took Amaziah king of Judah, the son of Joash, the son of Jehoahaz, at Bethshemesh, and brought him to Jerusalem, and brake down the wall of Jerusalem from the gate of Ephraim to the corner gate, four hundred cubits.
24 And he took all the gold and the silver, and all the vessels that were found in the house of God with Obededom, and the treasures of the king's house, the hostages also, and returned to Samaria.
25 And Amaziah the son of Joash king of Judah lived after the death of Joash son of Jehoahaz king of Israel fifteen years.
26 Now the rest of the acts of Amaziah, first and last, behold, are they not written in the book of the kings of Judah and Israel?
27 Now after the time that Amaziah did turn away from following the Lord they made a conspiracy against him in Jerusalem; and he fled to Lachish: but they sent to Lachish after him, and slew him there.
28 And they brought him upon horses, and buried him with his fathers in the city of Judah.
26 Then all the people of Judah took Uzziah, who was sixteen years old, and made him king in the room of his father Amaziah.
2 He built Eloth, and restored it to Judah, after that the king slept with his fathers.
3 Sixteen years old was Uzziah when he began to reign, and he reigned fifty and two years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Jecoliah of Jerusalem.
4 And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father Amaziah did.
5 And he sought God in the days of Zechariah, who had understanding in the visions of God: and as long as he sought the Lord, God made him to prosper.
6 And he went forth and warred against the Philistines, and brake down the wall of Gath, and the wall of Jabneh, and the wall of Ashdod, and built cities about Ashdod, and among the Philistines.
7 And God helped him against the Philistines, and against the Arabians that dwelt in Gurbaal, and the Mehunims.
8 And the Ammonites gave gifts to Uzziah: and his name spread abroad even to the entering in of Egypt; for he strengthened himself exceedingly.
9 Moreover Uzziah built towers in Jerusalem at the corner gate, and at the valley gate, and at the turning of the wall, and fortified them.
10 Also he built towers in the desert, and digged many wells: for he had much cattle, both in the low country, and in the plains: husbandmen also, and vine dressers in the mountains, and in Carmel: for he loved husbandry.
11 Moreover Uzziah had an host of fighting men, that went out to war by bands, according to the number of their account by the hand of Jeiel the scribe and Maaseiah the ruler, under the hand of Hananiah, one of the king's captains.
12 The whole number of the chief of the fathers of the mighty men of valour were two thousand and six hundred.
13 And under their hand was an army, three hundred thousand and seven thousand and five hundred, that made war with mighty power, to help the king against the enemy.
14 And Uzziah prepared for them throughout all the host shields, and spears, and helmets, and habergeons, and bows, and slings to cast stones.
15 And he made in Jerusalem engines, invented by cunning men, to be on the towers and upon the bulwarks, to shoot arrows and great stones withal. And his name spread far abroad; for he was marvellously helped, till he was strong.
16 But when he was strong, his heart was lifted up to his destruction: for he transgressed against the Lord his God, and went into the temple of the Lord to burn incense upon the altar of incense.
17 And Azariah the priest went in after him, and with him fourscore priests of the Lord, that were valiant men:
18 And they withstood Uzziah the king, and said unto him, It appertaineth not unto thee, Uzziah, to burn incense unto the Lord, but to the priests the sons of Aaron, that are consecrated to burn incense: go out of the sanctuary; for thou hast trespassed; neither shall it be for thine honour from the Lord God.
19 Then Uzziah was wroth, and had a censer in his hand to burn incense: and while he was wroth with the priests, the leprosy even rose up in his forehead before the priests in the house of the Lord, from beside the incense altar.
20 And Azariah the chief priest, and all the priests, looked upon him, and, behold, he was leprous in his forehead, and they thrust him out from thence; yea, himself hasted also to go out, because the Lord had smitten him.
21 And Uzziah the king was a leper unto the day of his death, and dwelt in a several house, being a leper; for he was cut off from the house of the Lord: and Jotham his son was over the king's house, judging the people of the land.
22 Now the rest of the acts of Uzziah, first and last, did Isaiah the prophet, the son of Amoz, write.
23 So Uzziah slept with his fathers, and they buried him with his fathers in the field of the burial which belonged to the kings; for they said, He is a leper: and Jotham his son reigned in his stead.
27 Jotham was twenty and five years old when he began to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem. His mother's name also was Jerushah, the daughter of Zadok.
2 And he did that which was right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father Uzziah did: howbeit he entered not into the temple of the Lord. And the people did yet corruptly.
3 He built the high gate of the house of the Lord, and on the wall of Ophel he built much.
4 Moreover he built cities in the mountains of Judah, and in the forests he built castles and towers.
5 He fought also with the king of the Ammonites, and prevailed against them. And the children of Ammon gave him the same year an hundred talents of silver, and ten thousand measures of wheat, and ten thousand of barley. So much did the children of Ammon pay unto him, both the second year, and the third.
6 So Jotham became mighty, because he prepared his ways before the Lord his God.
7 Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and all his wars, and his ways, lo, they are written in the book of the kings of Israel and Judah.
8 He was five and twenty years old when he began to reign, and reigned sixteen years in Jerusalem.
9 And Jotham slept with his fathers, and they buried him in the city of David: and Ahaz his son reigned in his stead.

16 ¶ Mwen di nou sa pou nou pa dekouraje lè sa rive.
2 Y'a mete nou deyò nan sinagòg yo. Yon lè, moun k'ap touye nou yo va met nan tèt yo se sèvis y'ap rann Bondye lè yo fè sa.
3 Y'ap fè tou sa paske yo pa konnen ni Papa a ni mwen menm.
4 Men, mwen di nou sa, se pou lè lè a va rive pou yo fè nou sa nou ka chonje mwen te di nou sa. Mwen pa t' di nou tou sa anvan, paske mwen te la avèk nou.
5 Men koulye a, mwen pral jwenn moun ki te voye m' lan, epi nou yonn pa mande m' kote m' prale?
6 Men, paske mwen pale konsa ak nou, kè nou kase.
7 ¶ Men, m'ap di nou laverite: li pi bon pou nou si m' ale. Paske, si m' pa ale, moun ki gen pou vin ankouraje nou an p'ap vin jwenn nou. Men, lè m' ale, m'a voye l' ban nou.
8 Li menm, lè la vini, la moutre moun lemonn yo jan yo nan lerè sou keksyon peche, sou keksyon sa ki dwat devan Bondye, sou keksyon jijman Bondye.
9 Yo nan lerè sou keksyon peche a, paske yo pa mete konfyans yo nan mwen.
10 Yo nan lerè sou keksyon sa ki dwat devan Bondye, paske mwen pral jwenn Papa a, nou p'ap wè m' ankò.
11 Yo nan lerè sou keksyon jijman Bondye a, paske chèf k'ap dominen lemonn lan fin jije deja.
12 Mwen gen anpil lòt bagay ankò pou m' di nou, men nou pa ka konprann yo koulye a.
13 Men, li menm Lespri k'ap moutre verite a, lè la vini, la mennen nou nan tout verite a. Paske li p'ap pale pawòl pa li. Men, tou sa la tande, se sa la di nou: la fè nou konnen bagay ki gen pou rive.
14 Li pral fè yo wè pouvwa mwen, paske la pran sa ki pou mwen pou l' fè nou konnen yo.
15 Tou sa ki pou Papa a se pou mwen yo ye tou. Se poutèt sa mwen di nou la pran sa ki pou mwen pou l' fè nou konnen yo.
16 ¶ Talè konsa nou p'ap wè m'; talè konsa n'a wè m' ankò.
17 Kèk disip li yo pran pale, yonn t'ap di lòt: Sa sa vle di sa l'ap di nou la a: Talè konsa nou p'ap wè m', talè konsa n'a wè m' ankò? Sa l' vle di la a: Paske mwen pral jwenn Papa a?
18 Kisa sa vle di menm: Talè konsa? Nou pa konprann sa l' vle di.
19 Jezi menm te konnen yo te vle poze l' keksyon. Li di yo: Mwen di nou: Talè konsa nou p'ap wè m', talè konsa tou n'a wè m' ankò. Eske se sou sa nou yonn ap poze lòt keksyon an?
20 Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: nou pral kriye, nou pral plenn, men moun k'ap viv dapre prensip ki nan lemonn yo pral kontan. Nou pral gen lapenn, men lapenn nou pral tounen kè kontan.
21 Lè yon fanm gen tranche, kè l' sere, paske lè a rive pou l' soufri. Men, lè pitit la fin fèt, li bliye tout soufrans li yo tèlman li kontan dapre yon lòt timoun vin sou latè.
22 Konsa tou, koulye a nou nan lapenn. Men, mwen gen pou m' wè nou ankò. Lè sa a, kè nou pral kontan, pesonn p'ap ka wete kontantman sa a nan kè nou.
23 ¶ Jou sa a, nou p'ap poze m' keksyon sou anyen. Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: nenpòt bagay nou mande Papa a nan non mwen, la ban nou li.
24 Jouk koulye a, nou poko mande anyen nan non mwen. Mande, n'a jwenn pou nou ka kontan nèt ale.
25 Mwen di nou tou sa an parabòl. Yon lè, mwen p'ap bezwen pale an parabòl ak nou ankò, men m'ap pale nou kareman sou Papa a.
26 Jou sa a, n'a mande Papa a sa nou vle nan non mwen, mwen pa di m'ap lapriyè Papa a pou nou,
27 paske Papa a li menm, li renmen nou. Li renmen nou paske nou renmen m', paske nou kwè mwen soti nan Papa a.
28 ¶ Mwen soti nan Papa a, mwen vin sou latè. Koulye a, m'ap wete kò m' sou latè a, mwen pral jwenn Papa a.
29 Disip yo di li: Se koulye a w'ap pale kare. Ou pa pale an parabòl.
30 Koulye a nou konnen ou konn tout bagay. Ou pa bezwen pesonn mande ou anyen. Se poutèt sa nou kwè ou soti nan Bondye.
31 Jezi reponn yo: Nou sèten nou kwè koulye a?
32 Gade, lè a ap rive, li rive deja, kote nou pral gaye, chak moun pral kouri bò pa yo: nou pral kite m' pou kont mwen. Men, mwen pa pou kont mwen, paske Papa a la avèk mwen.
33 Mwen pale konsa pou nou kapab gen kè poze nan mwen. Nou gen pou n' soufri anpil sou latè. Men, pran kouraj, lemonn deja pèdi devan mwen.
John 16
New International Version
John 16
New International Version
16 “All this(A) I have told you so that you will not fall away.(B) 2 They will put you out of the synagogue;(C) in fact, the time is coming when anyone who kills you will think they are offering a service to God.(D) 3 They will do such things because they have not known the Father or me.(E) 4 I have told you this, so that when their time comes you will remember(F) that I warned you about them. I did not tell you this from the beginning because I was with you,(G) 5 but now I am going to him who sent me.(H) None of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’(I) 6 Rather, you are filled with grief(J) because I have said these things. 7 But very truly I tell you, it is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Advocate(K) will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you.(L) 8 When he comes, he will prove the world to be in the wrong about sin and righteousness and judgment: 9 about sin,(M) because people do not believe in me; 10 about righteousness,(N) because I am going to the Father,(O) where you can see me no longer; 11 and about judgment, because the prince of this world(P) now stands condemned.
12 “I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear.(Q) 13 But when he, the Spirit of truth,(R) comes, he will guide you into all the truth.(S) He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. 14 He will glorify me because it is from me that he will receive what he will make known to you. 15 All that belongs to the Father is mine.(T) That is why I said the Spirit will receive from me what he will make known to you.”
The Disciples’ Grief Will Turn to Joy
16 Jesus went on to say, “In a little while(U) you will see me no more, and then after a little while you will see me.”(V)
17 At this, some of his disciples said to one another, “What does he mean by saying, ‘In a little while you will see me no more, and then after a little while you will see me,’(W) and ‘Because I am going to the Father’?”(X) 18 They kept asking, “What does he mean by ‘a little while’? We don’t understand what he is saying.”
19 Jesus saw that they wanted to ask him about this, so he said to them, “Are you asking one another what I meant when I said, ‘In a little while you will see me no more, and then after a little while you will see me’? 20 Very truly I tell you, you will weep and mourn(Y) while the world rejoices. You will grieve, but your grief will turn to joy.(Z) 21 A woman giving birth to a child has pain(AA) because her time has come; but when her baby is born she forgets the anguish because of her joy that a child is born into the world. 22 So with you: Now is your time of grief,(AB) but I will see you again(AC) and you will rejoice, and no one will take away your joy.(AD) 23 In that day(AE) you will no longer ask me anything. Very truly I tell you, my Father will give you whatever you ask in my name.(AF) 24 Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive,(AG) and your joy will be complete.(AH)
25 “Though I have been speaking figuratively,(AI) a time is coming(AJ) when I will no longer use this kind of language but will tell you plainly about my Father. 26 In that day you will ask in my name.(AK) I am not saying that I will ask the Father on your behalf. 27 No, the Father himself loves you because you have loved me(AL) and have believed that I came from God.(AM) 28 I came from the Father and entered the world; now I am leaving the world and going back to the Father.”(AN)
29 Then Jesus’ disciples said, “Now you are speaking clearly and without figures of speech.(AO) 30 Now we can see that you know all things and that you do not even need to have anyone ask you questions. This makes us believe(AP) that you came from God.”(AQ)
31 “Do you now believe?” Jesus replied. 32 “A time is coming(AR) and in fact has come when you will be scattered,(AS) each to your own home. You will leave me all alone.(AT) Yet I am not alone, for my Father is with me.(AU)
33 “I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace.(AV) In this world you will have trouble.(AW) But take heart! I have overcome(AX) the world.”

John 16
King James Version
16 These things have I spoken unto you, that ye should not be offended.
2 They shall put you out of the synagogues: yea, the time cometh, that whosoever killeth you will think that he doeth God service.
3 And these things will they do unto you, because they have not known the Father, nor me.
4 But these things have I told you, that when the time shall come, ye may remember that I told you of them. And these things I said not unto you at the beginning, because I was with you.
5 But now I go my way to him that sent me; and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou?
6 But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart.
7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:
9 Of sin, because they believe not on me;
10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more;
11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.
12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.
13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
15 All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
16 A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me, because I go to the Father.
17 Then said some of his disciples among themselves, What is this that he saith unto us, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me: and, Because I go to the Father?
18 They said therefore, What is this that he saith, A little while? we cannot tell what he saith.
19 Now Jesus knew that they were desirous to ask him, and said unto them, Do ye enquire among yourselves of that I said, A little while, and ye shall not see me: and again, a little while, and ye shall see me?
20 Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.
21 A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world.
22 And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you.
23 And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you.
24 Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.
25 These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall shew you plainly of the Father.
26 At that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you:
27 For the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God.
28 I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.
29 His disciples said unto him, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest no proverb.
30 Now are we sure that thou knowest all things, and needest not that any man should ask thee: by this we believe that thou camest forth from God.
31 Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe?
32 Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.
33 These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
