1 Kings 13
1 Suddenly, as Jeroboam was standing beside the altar to burn incense, there came a man of God from Judah to Bethel by the word of the LORD.
Lè sa a, Seyè a bay yonn nan pwofèt li yo ki te nan peyi Jida lòd pou li moute lavil Betèl. Lè li rive lavil Betèl, Jewoboram te kanpe bò lotèl la ap boule lansan.
2 And he cried out against the altar by the word of the LORD, “O altar, O altar, this is what the LORD says: ‘A son named Josiah will be born to the house of David, and upon you he will sacrifice the priests of the high places who burn incense upon you, and human bones will be burned upon you.’”
Dapre lòd Seyè a te ba li a, pwofèt la pale byen fò, li bay mesaj sa a sou lotèl la: -Ou menm lotèl! Wi, ou menm lotèl! Men sa Seyè a di: Nan fanmi David la, gen yon timoun ki pral fèt, y'ap rele l' Jozyas. L'ap vini, l'ap pran tout prèt k'ap sèvi nan kay zidòl yo, prèt k'ap boule lansan sou ou yo, l'ap touye yo sou ou. Lèfini, sou ou ankò y'a boule zosman moun.
3 That day the man of God gave a sign, saying, “The LORD has spoken this sign: ‘Surely the altar will be split apart, and the ashes upon it will be poured out.’”
Menm jou sa a pwofèt la bay yon siy, li di konsa: -Lotèl sa a pral fann de bò. Sann dife ki sou li a pral gaye tout atè a. Lè n'a wè sa, n'a konnen se Seyè a menm ki pale nan bouch mwen.
4 Now when King Jeroboam, who was at the altar in Bethel, heard the word that the man of God had cried out against it, he stretched out his hand and said, “Seize him!” But the hand he stretched out toward him withered, so that he could not pull it back.
Lè Jewoboram tande pawòl pwofèt la te di sou lotèl Betèl la, li lonje men l' anwo lotèl la sou pwofèt la, li di: -Pran msye! Men, men li te lonje sou pwofèt la rete tou rèd, li pa t' ka fè yon mouvman avè l' ankò.
5 And the altar was split apart, and the ashes poured out, according to the sign that the man of God had given by the word of the LORD.
Lamenm, lotèl la rete konsa, li fann de bò, epi sann dife ki te sou li a gaye tout atè a, jan pwofèt la te di sa nan non Seyè a.
6 Then the king responded to the man of God, “Intercede with the LORD your God and pray that my hand may be restored.” So the man of God interceded with the LORD, and the king’s hand was restored to him as it was before.
wa Jewoboram pran lapawòl ankò, li di pwofèt Bondye a konsa: -Tanpri, lapriyè Seyè a, Bondye ou la, pou mwen. Mande l' pou l' geri men m'. Pwofèt la lapriyè Seyè a vre, epi men wa a geri, li vin jan li te ye anvan an.
7 Then the king said to the man of God, “Come home with me and refresh yourself, and I will give you a reward.”
Apre sa, wa a di pwofèt la konsa: -Ann al lakay avè m'. W'a manje. Lèfini, m'a fè ou kado kichòy.
8 But the man of God replied, “If you were to give me half your possessions, I still would not go with you, nor would I eat bread or drink water in this place.
Pwofèt la reponn: -Ou ta mèt ban mwen mwatye nan tout richès ou yo, mwen p'ap mete pwent pye m' lakay ou. Mwen p'ap manje pen, ni mwen p'ap bwè dlo isit la.
9 For this is what I was commanded by the word of the LORD: ‘You must not eat bread or drink water or return by the way you came.’”
Paske, Seyè a te ban mwen lòd pou m' pa ni manje ni bwè anyen, lèfini pou m' pa pran menm chemen mwen te vini an pou m' tounen lakay mwen.
10 So the man of God went another way and did not return by the way he had come to Bethel.
Se konsa li pran yon lòt wout pou l' tounen lakay li, li pa pran menm chemen li te pran lè li t'ap vini lavil Betèl la.
11 Now a certain old prophet was living in Bethel, and his sons came and told him all the deeds that the man of God had done that day in Bethel. They also told their father the words that the man had spoken to the king.
Nan tan sa a, te gen yon pwofèt ki te rete lavil Betèl. Li te granmoun anpil. Pitit gason l' yo vin rakonte l' tou sa pwofèt Bondye a te fè jou sa a lavil Betèl, ak tou sa li te di wa Jewoboram.
12 “Which way did he go?” their father asked. And his sons showed him the way taken by the man of God, who had come from Judah.
Pwofèt la mande yo ki wout yo wè l' pran. Pitit gason l' yo moutre l' chemen pwofèt Bondye ki te soti peyi Jida a te pran.
13 So the prophet said to his sons, “Saddle the donkey for me.” Then they saddled the donkey for him, and he mounted it
Li di pitit gason l' yo sele bourik li pou li. Yo sele bourik li a, li moute sou li,
14 and went after the man of God. He found him sitting under an oak tree and asked, “Are you the man of God who came from Judah?” “I am,” he replied.
li pati dèyè pwofèt Bondye a. Li jwenn li chita anba yon pye chenn. Li mande l': -Se ou menm pwofèt Bondye ki soti peyi Jida a? Nonm lan reponn: -Se mwen wi!
15 So the prophet said to the man of God, “Come home with me and eat some bread.”
Li di l' konsa: -Ann al lakay avè m'. W'a manje kichòy!
16 But the man replied, “I cannot return with you or eat bread or drink water with you in this place.
Men pwofèt peyi Jida a di l': -Non, m' pa ka tounen avè ou, ni m' pa ka al lakay ou. Lèfini, m' p'ap manje, m' p'ap bwè anyen avè ou isit la.
17 For I have been told by the word of the LORD: ‘You must not eat bread or drink water there or return by the way you came.’”
Paske Seyè a te ban m' lòd pou m' pa t' ni manje ni bwè anyen avè ou isit la, lèfini pou m' pa pran menm chemen mwen te pase pou m' vini an pou m' tounen.
18 Then the prophet replied, “I too am a prophet like you, and an angel spoke to me by the word of the LORD, saying, ‘Bring him back with you to your house, so that he may eat bread and drink water.’” The old prophet was lying to him,
Lè sa a pwofèt lavil Betèl la di l': -Mwen menm tou, mwen se yon pwofèt tankou ou. Se Seyè a menm ki te voye yonn nan zanj li yo vin di m' pou m' fè ou tounen lakay ansanm avè m', lèfini pou m' ba ou manje, pou m' ba ou bwè! Men se manti pwofèt lavil Betèl la t'ap ba li.
19 but the man of God went back with him, ate bread in his house, and drank water.
Se konsa pwofèt peyi Jida a tounen lakay pwofèt Betèl la, li manje, li bwè avè l'.
20 While they were sitting at the table, the word of the LORD came to the prophet who had brought him back,
Yo te chita bò tab la toujou lè Seyè a pale ak pwofèt Betèl la
21 and the prophet cried out to the man of God who had come from Judah, “This is what the LORD says: ‘Because you have defied the word of the LORD and have not kept the commandment that the LORD your God gave you,
ki pale byen move ak pwofèt peyi Jida a. Li di l' byen fò: -Seyè a di ou ou pa koute lòd li te ba ou, ou pa fè sa li te mande ou fè a.
22 but you went back and ate bread and drank water in the place where He told you not to do so, your body shall never reach the tomb of your fathers.’”
Okontrè, ou tounen, ou manje, ou bwè yon kote li te ba ou lòd pa fè sa. Se poutèt sa w'ap mouri, lèfini, ou p'ap antere nan kavo fanmi ou.
23 And after the man of God had finished eating and drinking, the old prophet who had brought him back saddled the donkey for him.
Lè yo fin manje, pwofèt lavil Betèl la sele bourik pwofèt peyi Jida a pou li.
24 As he went on his way, a lion met him on the road and killed him, and his body was left lying in the road, with the donkey and the lion standing beside it.
Pwofèt peyi Jida a pati. Li kontre ak yon lyon sou chemen li, lyon an touye l'. Kadav li te blayi atè a nan mitan chimen an. Bourik la ak lyon an te rete la bò kote l'.
25 And there were men passing by who saw the body lying in the road with the lion standing beside it, and they went and reported this in the city where the old prophet lived.
Moun ki t'ap pase bò la wè kadav la atè nan chimen an ansanm ak lyon an bò kote l'. Yo antre lavil Betèl kote pwofèt granmoun lan te rete a, yo rakonte sa yo wè.
26 When the prophet who had brought him back from his journey heard this, he said, “It is the man of God who disobeyed the command of the LORD. Therefore the LORD has delivered him to the lion, and it has mauled him and killed him, according to the word that the LORD had spoken to him.”
Lè pwofèt la tande sa, li di: -Se pwofèt ki te dezobeyi lòd Seyè a te ba li a. Konsa, Seyè a voye yon lyon atake l'. Lyon an kraze l', li touye l' jan Seyè a te di l' l'ap fè l' la.
27 Then the old prophet instructed his sons, “Saddle the donkey for me.” So they saddled it,
Li di pitit gason l' yo. -Sele bourik la pou mwen! Yo sele bourik msye.
28 and he went and found the body lying in the road, with the donkey and the lion standing beside it. The lion had not eaten the body or mauled the donkey.
Msye pati, li jwenn kadav pwofèt peyi Jida a lonje atè a nan chimen an, bourik la ak lyon an kanpe bò kote l' toujou. Lyon an pa t' manje kadav la, ni li pa t' fè bourik la anyen.
29 So the old prophet lifted up the body of the man of God, laid it on the donkey, and brought it back to his own city to mourn for him and bury him.
Pwofèt lavil Betèl l'a ranmase kadav l'a, li mete l' sou bourik la, li pote l' tounen lavil Betèl. Li pran lapenn pou li. Lèfini, li antere l'.
30 Then he laid the body in his own tomb, and they lamented over him, “Oh, my brother!”
Li mete kadav la nan kavo pwòp fanmi l'. Li menm ansanm ak pitit gason li yo kriye pou li, yo t'ap di: -Woy, frè mwen! Ou al kite m' vre?
31 After he had buried him, the prophet said to his sons, “When I die, you must bury me in the tomb where the man of God is buried. Lay my bones beside his bones,
Apre lantèman an, pwofèt la pale ak pitit gason l' yo. Li di yo: -Lè m'a mouri, n'a antere m' nan kavo sa a, n'a mete kadav mwen kole kole ak kadav pa l' la.
32 for the message that he cried out by the word of the LORD against the altar in Bethel and against all the shrines on the high places in the cities of Samaria will surely come to pass.”
Pawòl Seyè a te ba li lòd di sou lotèl lavil Betèl la ak sou lòt kote y'ap fè sèvis nan lavil Samari yo gen pou rive vre.
33 Even after these events, Jeroboam did not repent of his evil ways, but again he appointed priests for the high places from every class of people. He ordained anyone who desired to be a priest of the high places.
Apre tout bagay sa yo, Jewoboram, wa peyi Izrayèl la, donnen pi rèd nan vye bagay li t'ap fè yo. Li t'ap chwazi moun nan pèp la toujou pou sèvi prèt nan tanp li te bati pou zidòl yo. Depi yon moun te vle prèt, li te ba l' pouvwa a pou li te sèvi prèt nan tanp zidòl yo.
34 And this was the sin of the house of Jeroboam that led to its extermination and destruction from the face of the earth.
Se konsa, tout fanmi Jewoboram lan lage kò yo nan fè sa ki mal. Se poutèt sa, tout fanmi sa a fini, li disparèt nèt sou latè.
