< 1 Kings 14 >
1 At that time Abijah son of Jeroboam became ill,
Nan lè sa a, Abija, fis a Jéroboam nan, te vin malad.
2 and Jeroboam said to his wife, “Now get up, disguise yourself so they will not recognize you as my wife, and go to Shiloh. For Ahijah the prophet is there; it was he who spoke about my kingship over this people.
Jéroboam te di a madanm li: “Leve vit e abiye kòmsi pou yo pa rekonèt ou kòm madanm a Jéroboam. Konsa, ale Silo! Gade byen, Achija, pwofèt ki te pale konsènan mwen kòm wa sou pèp sa a la.
3 Take with you ten loaves of bread, some cakes, and a jar of honey, and go to him. He will tell you what will become of the boy.”
Pran dis pen avèk ou, kèk gato ak yon boutèy siwo myèl, e ale kote li. Li va di ou kisa ki va rive gason an.”
4 Jeroboam’s wife did as instructed; she arose and went to Shiloh and arrived at Ahijah’s house. Now Ahijah could not see, for his eyes were dim because of his age.
Madanm a Jéroboam nan te fè sa, li te leve ale Silo e li te rive kote lakay Achija. Alò, Achija pa t kab wè, pwiske zye li te vin fèb akoz laj li.
5 But the LORD had said to Ahijah, “Behold, the wife of Jeroboam is coming to ask you about her son, for he is ill. You are to say such and such to her, because when she arrives, she will be disguised.”
Alò, SENYÈ a te di a Achija: “Gade byen, madanm a Jéroboam nan ap vin mande ou konsèy de fis li a, paske li malad. Ou va pale li konsa; paske li va fèt ke lè l rive, l ap fè kòmsi se yon lòt fanm li ye.”
6 So when Ahijah heard the sound of her feet entering the door, he said, “Come in, wife of Jeroboam! Why are you disguised? For I have been sent to you with bad news.
Lè Achija te tande son a pye li ki t ap antre nan pòtay la, li te di: “Antre, madanm a Jéroboam, poukisa w ap fè kòmsi se yon lòt fanm ou ye a? Paske mwen te voye kote ou avèk yon mesaj byen di.
7 Go, tell Jeroboam that this is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘I raised you up from among the people and appointed you ruler over My people Israel.
Ale, pale Jéroboam: ‘Konsa pale SENYÈ a. Bondye Israël la: “Akoz Mwen te egzalte ou soti nan mitan pèp la, e te fè ou chèf sou pèp Mwen an, Israël,
8 I tore the kingdom away from the house of David and gave it to you. But you were not like My servant David, who kept My commandments and followed Me with all his heart, doing only what was right in My eyes.
e akoz Mwen te chire wayòm nan sòti lakay David pou te bay li a ou menm—sepandan, ou pa t fè jan sèvitè mwen an, David, ki te kenbe kòmandman Mwen yo e ki te swiv Mwen avèk tout kè li, pou fè sèlman sa ki te dwat nan zye Mwen.
9 You have done more evil than all who came before you. You have proceeded to make for yourself other gods and molten images to provoke Me, and you have flung Me behind your back.
Anplis, ou te fè plis mechanste pase tout sila ki te avan ou yo, epi ou te fè pou ou menm lòt dye avèk imaj fonn pou pwovoke mwen a lakòlè, e ou te jete Mwen dèyè do ou—
10 Because of all this, behold, I am bringing disaster on the house of Jeroboam: I will cut off from Jeroboam every male, both slave and free, in Israel; I will burn up the house of Jeroboam as one burns up dung until it is gone!
Pou sa, gade byen, Mwen ap mennen gwo malè sou lakay Jéroboam e Mwen va koupe retire nan men Jéroboam tout gason, ni lib, ni esklav an Israël e Mwen va fè bale nèt lakay Jéroboam jan yon moun ta bale fè sòti poupou bèt jiskaske li retire li nèt.
11 Anyone belonging to Jeroboam who dies in the city will be eaten by dogs, and anyone who dies in the field will be eaten by the birds of the air.’
Nenpòt moun ki apatyen a Jéroboam ki mouri nan vil la, chen va manje li. Epi sila ki mouri nan chan an, zwazo syèl yo va manje l, paske SENYÈ a te pale.”’
12 As for you, get up and go home. When your feet enter the city, the child will die.
Koulye a, ou menm, leve ale lakay ou. Lè pye ou fin antre nan vil la, pitit la va mouri.
13 All Israel will mourn for him and bury him. For this is the only one belonging to Jeroboam who will receive a proper burial, because only in him has the LORD, the God of Israel, found any good in the house of Jeroboam.
Tout Israël va fè lamantasyon pou li e antere li, paske se sèlman li nan tout fanmi Jéroboam ki va rive nan tonm nan, akoz nan li, yon bon bagay te twouve anvè SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la, nan kay Jéroboam nan.
14 Moreover, the LORD will raise up for Himself a king over Israel who will cut off the house of Jeroboam. This is the day—yes, even today!
Anplis, SENYÈ a va fè leve pou kont Li, yon wa sou Israël ki va koupe lakay Jéroboam. Men jou sa rive! E kisa? Wi. Koulye a menm!
15 For the LORD will strike Israel as a reed is shaken in the water. He will uproot Israel from this good land that He gave their fathers, and He will scatter them beyond the Euphrates, because they have made their Asherah poles, provoking the LORD to anger.
Paske SENYÈ a va frape Israël, tankou yon wozo k ap tranble nan dlo. Epi Li va dechouke Israël soti nan bon peyi ke Li te bay a zansèt pa li yo, e Li va gaye yo lòtbò Rivyè Euphrate la, akoz yo te fè Asherim pa yo, ki te pwovoke SENYÈ a a lakòlè.
16 So He will give Israel over on account of the sins Jeroboam has committed and has caused Israel to commit.”
Li va abandone Israël akoz peche ke Jéroboam te fè a, e avèk sila ke li te fè Israël antre nan peche a.”
17 Then Jeroboam’s wife got up and departed for Tirzah, and as soon as she stepped over the threshold of the house, the boy died.
Alò, madanm a Jéroboam te leve ale e te rive Thirtsa. Pandan li t ap pase nan chanbrann pòt la, pitit la te mouri.
18 And they buried him, and all Israel mourned for him, according to the word that the LORD had spoken through His servant Ahijah the prophet.
Tout Israël te antere li e te kriye pou li, selon pawòl SENYÈ a te pale pa sèvitè li, Achija, pwofèt la.
19 As for the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, how he waged war and how he reigned, they are indeed written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.
Alò, tout lòt zèv a Jéroboam yo, jan li te fè lagè ak jan li te renye, men vwala, yo ekri nan Liv Kwonik a Wa Israël yo.
20 And the length of Jeroboam’s reign was twenty-two years, and he rested with his fathers, and his son Nadab reigned in his place.
Tan ke Jéroboam te renye a te venn-dezan. Konsa, li te dòmi avèk zansèt li yo, e Nadab, fis li a te renye nan plas li a.
21 Meanwhile, Rehoboam son of Solomon reigned in Judah. He was forty-one years old when he became king, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city the LORD had chosen from all the tribes of Israel in which to put His Name. His mother’s name was Naamah the Ammonite.
Alò, Roboam fis a Salomon an te renye Juda. Roboam te gen trante-yen ane daj lè li te vin wa, e li te renye di-sèt ane Jérusalem, vil ke SENYÈ a te chwazi soti nan tout tribi Israël yo pou mete non Li a. Epi manman li te Naama, yon fi Amonit.
22 And Judah did evil in the sight of the LORD, and by the sins they committed they provoked Him to jealous anger more than all their fathers had done.
Juda te fè mal nan zye a SENYÈ a e yo te pwovoke Li a jalouzi plis pase tout zansèt pa yo te fè, avèk peche ke yo te fè yo.
23 They also built for themselves high places, sacred pillars, and Asherah poles on every high hill and under every green tree.
Paske yo tou te bati pou yo menm wo plas yo, pilye sakre yo avèk Asherim sou chak wotè ti kolin e anba chak bèl bwa vèt.
24 There were even male shrine prostitutes in the land. They imitated all the abominations of the nations the LORD had driven out before the Israelites.
Te gen osi gason ki fè pwostitiye tanp zidòl nan peyi a. Yo te fè selon tout abominasyon a lòt nasyon ke SENYÈ a te fè sòti devan fis Israël yo.
25 In the fifth year of Rehoboam’s reign, Shishak king of Egypt came up and attacked Jerusalem.
Alò, li te fèt nan senkyèm ane a Wa Roboam, Schischak, wa Égypte la te vin monte kont Jérusalem.
26 He seized the treasures of the house of the LORD and of the royal palace. He took everything, including all the gold shields that Solomon had made.
Li te pran trezò lakay SENYÈ a avèk trezò lakay wa a. Li te pran tout bagay yo, menm tout boukliye an lò ke Salomon te fè yo.
27 Then King Rehoboam made bronze shields in their place and committed them to the care of the captains of the guard on duty at the entrance to the royal palace.
Pou sa, Wa Roboam te fè boukliye an bwonz nan plas yo e te fè kòmandan a gad ki te veye pòtay kay la wa a responsab sou yo.
28 And whenever the king entered the house of the LORD, the guards would bear the shields, and later they would return them to the guardroom.
Epi li te vin rive ke nenpòt lè wa a te antre lakay SENYÈ a, ke gad yo ta pote mennen yo retounen nan chanm gad yo.
29 As for the rest of the acts of Rehoboam, along with all that he did, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
Alò, tout lòt zèv a Roboam avèk tout sa li te fè yo, èske yo pa ekri nan liv a Kwonik a Wa Juda yo?
30 There was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam throughout their days.
Te gen lagè antre Roboam avèk Jéroboam tout tan.
31 And Rehoboam rested with his fathers and was buried with them in the City of David; his mother’s name was Naamah the Ammonite. And his son Abijam reigned in his place.
Epi Roboam te dòmi avèk zansèt li yo, e li te antere avèk zansèt li yo nan lavil David. Non manman li se te Naama, fi Amonit lan. Abijam, fis li a, te vin wa nan plas li.
