2 Istwa 28
Bib La · Kreyòl Ayisyen
1 Akaz te gen ventan lè li moute wa peyi Jida. Li gouvènen nan lavil Jerizalèm pandan sèzan. Men, li pa t' fè sa ki dwat devan Seyè a, Bondye li a, tankou David, zansèt li a, te fè l'. 2 Li te pito fè tankou wa peyi Izrayèl yo. Li menm rive fè estati an kwiv pou Baal yo. 3 Li fè boule lansan pou yo nan Fon Benninon an, li ofri pwòp pitit gason l' yo pou yo boule yo dapre vye prensip krimenèl nasyon Seyè a te mete deyò pou fè plas pou moun Izrayèl yo. 4 Li fè touye bèt, boule lansan nan tout tanp zidòl yo, sou ti mòn yo ak anba gwo pyebwa. 5 Poutèt tout bagay sa yo, Seyè a, Bondye Akaz la, lage l' nan men wa peyi Siri a. Moun Siri yo bat li. Yo fè anpil moun peyi a prizonye, yo mennen yo lavil Damas. Konsa tou, Seyè a lage l' nan men wa peyi Izrayèl la ki bat li byen bat. 6 Se konsa, yon sèl jou Peka, pitit Remalya, touye sanvenmil (0120.000) sòlda, tout vanyan gason, nan peyi Jida a, paske pèp la te vire do bay Seyè a, Bondye zansèt yo a. 7 Zikri, yon vanyan sòlda peyi Efrayim, touye Maseja, pitit wa a, Azrikam, chèf palè a, ak Elkana, chèf ki vin apre wa a. 8 Atout moun peyi Jida yo te fanmi moun peyi Izrayèl yo, moun peyi Izrayèl yo fè desanmil (0200.000) moun prizonye, fanm ak timoun, yo piye peyi a, yo pran yon pakèt bagay pote ale lavil Samari. 9 Nan lavil Samari te gen yon moun yo te rele Odèd ki te pwofèt Bondye. Li soti al kontre lame moun peyi Izrayèl yo ki t'ap rive lavil Samari. Li di yo: -Seyè a, Bondye zansèt nou yo, te fache sou moun peyi Jida yo. Se poutèt sa li lage yo nan men nou. Men koulye a, Bondye tande ki jan nou menm nou ansasinen yo ak raj. 10 Koulye a menm, nou soti pou nou fè moun peyi Jida ak moun lavil Jerizalèm yo tounen esklav pou sèvi nou. Men nou menm poutèt pa nou, lè nou fè sa, èske nou pa fè sa ki mal tou devan Seyè a, Bondye nou an? 11 Koute sa m'ap di nou: Prizonye sa yo se frè ak sè nou yo ye. Kite yo tounen lakay yo, paske se sou nou Seyè a move koulye a. 12 Lè sa a, kat nan gwo chèf moun peyi Efrayim yo: Azarya, pitit Jokanan, Berekya, pitit Mesilemòt, Ezekya, pitit Chaloum, ak Amasa, pitit Adlayi, leve dèyè moun ki te soti nan lagè yo. 13 Yo di yo: -Pa mennen prizonye sa yo isit la! Si nou fè sa n'ap antò devan Seyè a. Nou deja fè kont peche nou konsa, Seyè a tou move sou pèp Izrayèl la, pou n'ap vin mete ankò sou sa nou fè ki mal ak sou peche nou yo! 14 Se konsa sòlda yo renmèt prizonye yo ak tou sa yo te pran bay chèf yo ak tout pèp la. 15 Lè sa a, yo chwazi kat menm mesye sa yo pou yo reskonsab prizonye yo. Yo pran rad nan bagay sòlda yo te piye yo, yo mete sou moun ki te toutouni yo, yo biye yo, mete sapat nan pye yo, yo ba yo manje, yo ba yo bwè. Yo mete renmèd sou tout kote yo te blese. Yo fè tou sa ki te twò fèb yo moute bourik, yo mennen tout prizonye yo tounen lavil Jeriko, lavil Palmis yo, yo renmèt yo bay fanmi yo. Lèfini, yo tounen tounen yo lavil Samari. 16 Lè sa a, wa Akaz voye mande wa peyi Lasiri a sekou, 17 paske moun peyi Edon yo te fè yon pase nan peyi a ankò. Yo bat lame peyi Jida a, yo fè anpil moun prizonye. 18 Moun Filisti yo, bò pa yo menm, t'ap piye lavil peyi Jida yo ki te nan pye mòn yo ak nan zòn Negèv la. Yo pran pou yo lavil sa yo: Bètchemès, Ajalon, Gedewòt, Soko, Timna ak Gimzo ansanm ak tout ti bouk ki te sou zòd lavil sa yo. Yo rete ladan yo. 19 Seyè a te voye tout malè sa yo sou peyi Jida a poutèt Akaz, wa peyi Jida a, ki te pouse pèp la neglije Bondye yo a, epi ki poutèt pa l' te vire do bay Bondye nèt. 20 Men Tiglat Pilesè, wa peyi Lasiri a, vin atake wa Akaz pito. Pase pou l' ede l', li kraze l' pi mal. 21 Se konsa, Akaz pran dènye bagay ki gen valè nan kay Seyè a, nan palè wa a ak lakay chèf yo, li fè wa peyi Lasiri a kado. Men, sa pa t' sèvi l' anyen. 22 Pandan tout tan yo t'ap kraze l' konsa a, nonm yo bay pou wa Akaz la t'ap donnen pi mal nan pa sèvi Seyè a. 23 Li t'ap ofri bèt pou yo touye pou bondye moun lavil Damas yo ki te bat li. Li t'ap di nan kè l': Bondye wa peyi Siri yo te ede yo. Si mwen fè sèvis pou yo, y'a ede m' tou. Men se sèvis bondye sa yo menm ki lakòz malè rive ni li ni pèp Izrayèl la. 24 Akaz pran tout veso ki te nan Tanp Bondye a, li kraze yo an miyèt moso. Li kondannen pòt Tanp Seyè a. Li fè fè lòt lotèl pou lòt bondye yo toupatou nan lavil Jerizalèm. 25 Li bati tanp nan tout lavil ak ti bouk nan peyi Jida pou boule lansan pou lòt bondye yo. Se konsa li fè Seyè a, Bondye zansèt li yo, fache anpil sou li. 26 Tout rès istwa Akaz la ak tou sa li te fè depi premye jou li te moute wa a rive jouk dènye jou a, n'a jwenn tou sa ekri nan Liv Istwa wa peyi Jida ak wa peyi Izrayèl yo. 27 Lè li mouri, yo antere l' lavil Jerizalèm, men yo pa t' mete l' nan tonm wa Izrayèl yo. Se Ezekyas, pitit li, ki moute wa nan plas li.

2 Istwa 28:1-4
2Ch 28:1-21. Ahaz, Reigning Wickedly, Is Afflicted by the Syrians.
1-4. Ahaz was twenty years old--(See on 2Ki 16:1-4). This prince, discarding the principles and example of his excellent father, early betrayed a strong bias to idolatry. He ruled with an arbitrary and absolute authority, and not as a theocratic sovereign: he not only forsook the temple of God, but embraced first the symbolic worship established in the sister kingdom, and afterwards the gross idolatry practised by the Canaanites.
2 Istwa 28:5-7
5-7. the Lord ... delivered him into the hand of the king of Syria ... he was also delivered into the hand of the King of Israel--These verses, without alluding to the formation of a confederacy between the Syrian and Israelitish kings to invade the kingdom of Judah, or relating the commencement of the war in the close of Jotham's reign (2Ki 15:37), give the issue only of some battles that were fought in the early part of the campaign.
delivered him ... smote him ... he was also delivered--that is, his army, for Ahaz was not personally included in the number either of the slain or the captives. The slaughter of one hundred twenty thousand in one day was a terrible calamity, which, it is (2Ch 28:6) expressly said, was inflicted as a judgment on Judah, "because they had forsaken the Lord God of their fathers." Among the slain were some persons of distinction:
2 Istwa 28:8-14
8-14. the children of Israel carried away captive of their brethren two hundred thousand--These captives included a great number of women, boys, and girls, a circumstance which creates a presumption that the Hebrews, like other Orientals, were accompanied in the war by multitudes of non-combatants (see on Jud 4:8). The report of these "brethren," being brought as captives to Samaria, excited general indignation among the better-disposed inhabitants; and Oded, a prophet, accompanied by the princes (2Ch 28:12 compared with 2Ch 28:14), went out, as the escort was approaching, to prevent the disgraceful outrage of introducing such prisoners into the city. The officers of the squadron were, of course, not to blame; they were simply doing their military duty in conducting those prisoners of war to their destination. But Oded clearly showed that the Israelitish army had gained the victory--not by the superiority of their arms, but in consequence of the divine judgment against Judah. He forcibly exposed the enormity of the offense of keeping "their brethren" as slaves got in war. He protested earnestly against adding this great offense of unnatural and sinful cruelty (Le 25:43, 44; Mi 2:8, 9) to the already overwhelming amount of their own national sins. Such was the effect of his spirited remonstrance and the opposing tide of popular feeling, that "the armed men left the captives and the spoil before the princes and all the congregation."
2 Istwa 28:15
15. the men which were expressed by name rose up--These were either the "heads of the children of Ephraim" (mentioned 2Ch 28:12), or some other leading individuals chosen for the benevolent office. Under their kindly superintendence, the prisoners were not only released, but out of the spoils were comfortably relieved with food and clothing, and conveyed as far as Jericho on their way back to their own homes. This is a beautiful incident, and full of interest, as showing that even at this period of national decline, there were not a few who steadfastly adhered to the law of God.
2 Istwa 28:16
16. At that time did king Ahaz send unto the kings of Assyria--"kings," the plural for the singular, which is found in many ancient versions. "At that time," refers to the period of Ahaz' great distress, when, after a succession of defeats, he retreated within the walls of Jerusalem. Either in the same or a subsequent campaign, the Syrian and Israelitish allies marched there to besiege him (see on 2Ki 16:7). Though delivered from this danger, other enemies infested his dominions both on the south and the west.
2 Istwa 28:17
2 Istwa 28:18
18. Gederoth--on the Philistine frontier (Jos 15:41).
Shocho--or Socoh (Jos 15:35), now Shuweikeh, a town in the Valley of Judah (see on 1Sa 17:1).
Gimzo--now Jimza, a little east of Ludd (Lydda) [Robinson]. All these disasters, by which the "Lord brought Judah low," were because of Ahaz, king of Israel (Judah), see 2Ch 21:2; 24:16; 28:27, who made Judah naked, and transgressed sore against the Lord.
2 Istwa 28:20
20. Tilgath-pilneser ... distressed him, but strengthened him not--that is, notwithstanding the temporary relief which Tilgath-pilneser afforded him by the conquest of Damascus and the slaughter of Rezin (2Ki 16:9), little advantage resulted from it, for Tilgath-pilneser spent the winter in voluptuous revelry at Damascus; and the connection formed with the Assyrian king was eventually a source of new and greater calamities and humiliation to the kingdom of Judah (2Ch 28:2, 3).
2Ch 28:22-27. His Idolatry in His Distress.
2 Istwa 28:22
22. in the time of his distress did he trespass yet more against the Lord--This infatuated king surrendered himself to the influence of idolatry and exerted his royal authority to extend it, with the intensity of a passion--with the ignorance and servile fear of a heathen (2Ch 28:23) and a ruthless defiance of God (see on 2Ki 16:10-20).
