1 Kings 22
1 Then three years passed without war between Aram and Israel.
Twazan te pase san gen lagè antre Syrie avèk Israël.
2 However, in the third year, Jehoshaphat king of Judah went down to visit the king of Israel,
Nan twazyèm ane Josaphat a, wa Juda a te desann kote wa Israël la.
3 who said to his servants, “Do you not know that Ramoth-gilead is ours, but we have failed to take it from the hand of the king of Aram?”
Alò, wa Israël la te di a sèvitè li yo: “Èske nou konnen ke Ramoth-Galaad apatyen a nou menm e jiska prezan, nou p ap fè anyen pou rache li nan men wa Syrie a.”
4 So he asked Jehoshaphat, “Will you go with me to fight against Ramoth-gilead?” Jehoshaphat answered the king of Israel, “I am like you, my people are your people, and my horses are your horses.”
Epi li te di a Josaphat: “Èske ou va ale avèk mwen nan batay a Ramoth-Galaad la?” Josaphat te di a wa Israël la: “Mwen tankou ou menm, pèp mwen an tankou pèp pa w la, cheval mwen yo tankou cheval pa ou yo.”
5 But Jehoshaphat also said to the king of Israel, “Please inquire first for the word of the LORD.”
Anplis, Josaphat te di a wa Israël la: “Souple, fè demann premyèman selon pawòl SENYÈ a.”
6 So the king of Israel assembled the prophets, about four hundred men, and asked them, “Should I go to war against Ramoth-gilead, or should I refrain?” “Go up,” they replied, “and the Lord will deliver it into the hand of the king.”
Alò wa Israël la te rasanble pwofèt yo ansanm, anviwon kat-san mesye. Li te di yo: “Èske mwen dwe ale kont Ramoth-Galaad nan batay la, oswa èske mwen dwe fè bak?” Yo te di: “Ale monte, paske SENYÈ a va bay li nan men a wa a.”
7 But Jehoshaphat asked, “Is there not still a prophet of the LORD here of whom we can inquire?”
Men Josaphat te di: “Èske pa gen yon pwofèt SENYÈ a ki la pou nou kab mande li?”
8 The king of Israel answered, “There is still one man who can ask the LORD, but I hate him because he never prophesies anything good for me, but only bad. He is Micaiah son of Imlah.” “The king should not say that!” Jehoshaphat replied.
Wa Israël la te di a Josaphat: “Genyen toujou yon nonm pa sila nou kapab fè demann SENYÈ a, men mwen rayi li, akoz li pa pwofetize sa ki bon pou mwen, men sa ki mal. Michée, fis a Jimla a.” Men Josaphat te di: “Pa kite wa a di sa.”
9 So the king of Israel called one of his officials and said, “Bring Micaiah son of Imlah at once.”
Wa Israël la te rele yon ofisye e te di: “Mennen byen vit Michée, fis a Jimla a.”
10 Dressed in royal attire, the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah were sitting on their thrones at the threshing floor by the entrance of the gate of Samaria, with all the prophets prophesying before them.
Alò, wa Israël la avèk Josaphat, wa Juda a te chita chak sou pwòp twòn pa yo, abiye an wòb pa yo nan pòtay pou antre Samarie a, epi tout pwofèt yo t ap pwofetize devan yo.
11 Now Zedekiah son of Chenaanah had made for himself iron horns and declared, “This is what the LORD says: ‘With these you shall gore the Arameans until they are finished off.’”
Alò Sédécias, fis a Kenaana a te fè kòn yo an fè pou kont li, e te di: “Konsa pale SENYÈ a: ‘Avèk sila yo, ou va frape Siryen yo jiskaske yo fin detwi.’”
12 And all the prophets were prophesying the same, saying, “Go up to Ramoth-gilead and prosper, for the LORD will deliver it into the hand of the king.”
Tout pwofèt yo t ap pwofetize konsa e t ap di: “Ale monte Ramoth-Galaad e byen reyisi; paske SENYÈ a va mete li nan men wa a.”
13 Then the messenger who had gone to call Micaiah instructed him, “Behold now, with one accord the words of the prophets are favorable to the king. So please let your words be like theirs, and speak favorably.”
Mesaje a ki te ale rele Michée te pale li. Li te di: “Koulye a, gade byen, tout pawòl a pwofèt yo favorab anvè wa a. Souple, kite pawòl ou yo fèt tankou pawòl a youn nan yo, e pale avèk favè.”
14 But Micaiah said, “As surely as the LORD lives, I will speak whatever the LORD tells me.”
Men Michée te di: “Jan SENYÈ a viv la, sa ke SENYÈ a pale mwen an, se sa mwen va pale.”
15 When Micaiah arrived, the king asked him, “Micaiah, should we go to war against Ramoth-gilead, or should we refrain?” “Go up and triumph,” Micaiah replied, “for the LORD will give it into the hand of the king.”
Lè li te vin kote wa a, wa a te di li: “Michée, èske nou dwe ale Ramoth-Galaad nan batay la, oswa èske nou dwe fè bak?” Konsa, li te reponn li: “Ale monte e byen reyisi e SENYÈ a va bay li nan men wa a.”
16 But the king said to him, “How many times must I make you swear not to tell me anything but the truth in the name of the LORD?”
Alò, wa a te di li: “Konbyen de tan èske mwen oblije di ou pou pa pale anyen avè m sof ke laverite nan non SENYÈ a?”
17 So Micaiah declared: “I saw all Israel scattered on the hills like sheep without a shepherd. And the LORD said, ‘These people have no master; let each one return home in peace.’”
Pou sa, li te di: “Mwen te wè tout Israël gaye sou mòn yo, tankou mouton ki san bèje. Konsa, SENYÈ a te di: ‘Sila yo pa gen mèt. Kite yo chak retounen lakay yo anpè.’”
18 Then the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “Did I not tell you that he never prophesies good for me, but only bad?”
Epi wa Israël la te di a Josaphat: “Èske mwen pa t di ou ke li pa t ap fè bon pwofesi pou mwen, men pito move?”
19 Micaiah continued, “Therefore hear the word of the LORD: I saw the LORD sitting on His throne, and all the host of heaven standing by Him on His right and on His left.
Michée te di: “Pou sa, tande pawòl SENYÈ a. Mwen te wè SENYÈ a te chita sou twòn Li e tout lame syèl la te kanpe akote Li adwat Li e agoch Li.
20 And the LORD said, ‘Who will entice Ahab to march up and fall at Ramoth-gilead?’ And one suggested this, and another that.
SENYÈ a te di: ‘Kilès k ap sedwi Achab pou ale monte e tonbe Ramoth-Galaad?’ Epi youn te di sesi e youn te di sela.”
21 Then a spirit came forward, stood before the LORD, and said, ‘I will entice him.’ ‘By what means?’ asked the LORD.
Alò, yon lespri te parèt devan SENYÈ a e te di: “Mwen va sedwi li.”
22 And he replied, ‘I will go out and be a lying spirit in the mouths of all his prophets.’ ‘You will surely entice him and prevail,’ said the LORD. ‘Go and do it.’
SENYÈ a te di li: “Kijan?” Epi li te reponn: “Mwen va sòti deyò pou devni yon lespri twonpè nan bouch a tout pwofèt li yo.” Epi Li te di: “Ou gen non sèlman pou sedwi li, men pou vin genyen li nèt. Ale fè sa.”
23 So you see, the LORD has put a lying spirit in the mouths of all these prophets of yours, and the LORD has pronounced disaster against you.”
“Alò, pou sa, gade byen, SENYÈ a te mete yon lespri twonpè nan bouch a tout pwofèt pa ou yo; epi SENYÈ a te pwoklame dega nèt kont ou.”
24 Then Zedekiah son of Chenaanah went up, struck Micaiah in the face, and demanded, “Which way did the Spirit of the LORD go when He departed from me to speak with you?”
Konsa, Sédécias, fis a Kenaana a te vin toupre e te frape Michée sou machwè li. Li te di: “Kijan lespri SENYÈ a te pase sòti nan mwen pou pale avèk ou?”
25 Micaiah replied, “You will soon see, on that day when you go and hide in an inner room.”
Michée te di: “Gade byen, ou va wè sa nan jou lè ou antre nan yon chanm a lenteryè pou kache kò w.”
26 And the king of Israel declared, “Take Micaiah and return him to Amon the governor of the city and to Joash the king’s son,
Alò, wa Israël la te di: “Pran Michée e retounen li vè majistra lavil la ak Joas, fis a wa a,
27 and tell them that this is what the king says: ‘Put this man in prison and feed him only bread and water until I return safely.’”
epi di li: ‘Konsa pale wa a: “Mete nonm sa a nan prizon a e bay li tikras pen ak dlo sèlman kòm manje jiskaske mwen retounen san mal pa rive m.”’”
28 But Micaiah replied, “If you ever return safely, the LORD has not spoken through me.” Then he added, “Take heed, all you people!”
Michée te di: “Si ou, anverite, retounen san ke mal pa rive, SENYÈ a pa t fè m pale.” Epi li te di: “Koute, tout pèp nou an!”
29 So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah went up to Ramoth-gilead.
Konsa, wa Israël la avèk Josaphat, wa Juda a, te monte kont Ramoth-Galaad.
30 And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “I will disguise myself and go into battle, but you wear your royal robes.” So the king of Israel disguised himself and went into battle.
Wa Israël la te di a Josaphat: “Mwen va kache idantite mwen e antre nan batay la, men ou menm, mete vètman pa ou.” Konsa, wa Israël la te kache idantite li e te antre nan batay la.
31 Now the king of Aram had ordered his thirty-two chariot commanders, “Do not fight with anyone, small or great, except the king of Israel.”
Alò, wa Syrie a te kòmande trann-de kapitèn a cha li yo. Li te di: “Pa goumen avèk piti ni gran, men sèlman avèk wa Israël la.”
32 When the chariot commanders saw Jehoshaphat, they said, “Surely this is the king of Israel!” So they turned to fight against him, but Jehoshaphat cried out.
Konsa, lè kapitèn a cha yo te wè Josaphat, yo te di: “Anverite, sa se wa Israël la,” epi yo te vire akote pou goumen kont li e Josaphat te kriye fò.
33 And when the chariot commanders saw that he was not the king of Israel, they turned back from pursuing him.
Lè kapitèn a cha yo te wè ke li pa t wa Israël la, yo te rale bak e te sispann swiv li.
34 However, a certain man drew his bow without taking special aim, and he struck the king of Israel between the joints of his armor. So the king said to his charioteer, “Turn around and take me out of the battle, for I am badly wounded!”
Alò, yon sèten nonm te rale banza li pa aza e te frape wa Israël la. Flèch la te antre nan yon kwen nan vètman pwotèj la. Konsa, li te di chofè cha li a: “Retounen fè bak e retire mwen nan batay la, paske mwen blese byen sevè.”
35 The battle raged throughout that day, and the king was propped up in his chariot facing the Arameans. And the blood from his wound ran out onto the floor of the chariot, and that evening he died.
Batay la te boule rèd pandan jou sa a. Yo te soutni wa a pou l kanpe nan cha li devan Siryen yo, e nan leswa a, li te mouri. San a te soti nan blesi a pou l antre nan enteryè cha a.
36 As the sun was setting, the cry rang out in the army: “Every man to his own city, and every man to his own land!”
Epi yon kri te sòti toupatou nan lame a nan lè solèy kouche a. Yo te di: “Chak moun rive nan vil li, e chak mesye nan pwòp peyi pa l.”
37 So the king died and was brought to Samaria, where they buried him.
Konsa, wa a te mouri. Yo te mennen l Samarie, epi yo te antere wa a Samarie.
38 And the chariot was washed at the pool of Samaria where the prostitutes bathed, and the dogs licked up Ahab’s blood, according to the word that the LORD had spoken.
Yo te lave cha a akote sous dlo Samarie a, e chen yo te niche san li nan kote pwostitiye yo te konn benyen, selon pawòl SENYÈ a te pale a.
39 As for the rest of the acts of Ahab, along with all his accomplishments and the ivory palace and all the cities he built, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
Alò, tout lòt zèv a Achab yo avèk tout sa ke li te fè ak kay ivwa ke li te konstwi a ak tout vil ke li te bati yo, èske yo pa ekri nan Liv Kwonik a Wa Israël yo?
40 And Ahab rested with his fathers, and his son Ahaziah reigned in his place.
Konsa, Achab te dòmi avèk zansèt pa li yo, e Achazia, fis li a, te devni wa nan plas li.
41 In the fourth year of Ahab’s reign over Israel, Jehoshaphat son of Asa became king of Judah.
Alò Josaphat, fis Asa a, te devni wa sou Juda nan Katriyèm ane Achab, wa Israël la.
42 Jehoshaphat was thirty-five years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem twenty-five years. His mother’s name was Azubah daughter of Shilhi.
Josaphat te gen trann-senk ane lè li te devni wa, e li te renye pandan venn-senk ane Jérusalem. Epi non manman li se te Azuba, fi a Schilchi a.
43 And Jehoshaphat walked in all the ways of his father Asa; he did not turn away from them, but did what was right in the eyes of the LORD. The high places, however, were not removed; the people still sacrificed and burned incense on the high places.
Li te mache nan chemen Asa, papa li. Li pa t vire akote e li te fè sa ki te dwat nan zye SENYÈ a. Sepandan, wo plas yo pa t retire. Pèp la te toujou fè sakrifis e te brile lansan sou wo plas yo.
44 Jehoshaphat also made peace with the king of Israel.
Josaphat osi te fè lapè avèk wa Israël la.
45 As for the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, along with the might he exercised and how he waged war, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?
Alò, tout lòt zèv a Josaphat yo, avèk pwisans ke li te montre ak jan li te fè lagè, èske yo pa ekri nan liv Kwonik a Wa a Juda yo?
46 He banished from the land the male shrine prostitutes who remained from the days of his father Asa.
Retay a sadomit ki te rete nan jou papa li yo, Asa, li te fè ekzile yo sòti nan peyi a.
47 And there was no king in Edom; a deputy served as king.
Alò, pa t gen wa nan Édom. Se yon depite ki te wa.
48 Jehoshaphat built ships of Tarshish to go to Ophir for gold, but they never set sail, because they were wrecked at Ezion-geber.
Josaphat te fè bato a Tarsis yo vwayaje a Ophir pou lò, men yo pa t rive, paske bato yo te kraze kote Etsjon-Guéber.
49 At that time Ahaziah son of Ahab said to Jehoshaphat, “Let my servants sail with your servants,” but Jehoshaphat refused.
Alò, Achazia, fis Achab la, te di a Josaphat: “Kite sèvitè mwen yo ale avèk sèvitè ou yo nan bato yo.” Men Josaphat pa t dakò.
50 And Jehoshaphat rested with his fathers and was buried with them in the city of his father David. And his son Jehoram reigned in his place.
Konsa, Josaphat te dòmi avèk zansèt pa li yo e te antere avèk zansèt li yo nan vil a papa li a, David e Joram, fis li a, te renye nan plas li.
51 In the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat’s reign over Judah, Ahaziah son of Ahab became king of Israel, and he reigned in Samaria two years.
Achazia, fis a Achab la te devni wa nan plas li.
52 And he did evil in the sight of the LORD and walked in the ways of his father and mother and of Jeroboam son of Nebat, who had caused Israel to sin.
Li te fè mal nan zye SENYÈ a e li te mache nan chemen papa li, nan chemen manman l ak nan chemen Jéroboam, fis a Nebath la, ki te fè Israël peche a.
53 Ahaziah served and worshiped Baal, provoking the LORD, the God of Israel, to anger, just as his father had done.
Konsa, li te sèvi Baal, li te adore li e te pwovoke SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la, a lakòlè, selon tout sa ke papa li te konn fè yo.
