2 Kings 10
1 Now Ahab had seventy sons in Samaria. So Jehu wrote letters and sent them to Samaria to the officials of Jezreel, to the elders, and to the guardians of the sons of Ahab, saying:
Alò, Achab te gen swasann-dis fis Samarie. Epi Jéhu te ekri lèt pou te voye Samarie, kote chèf Jizréel yo, ansyen yo e vè gadyen pitit Achab yo, e te di:
2 “When this letter arrives, since your master’s sons are with you and you have chariots and horses, a fortified city and weaponry,
“Alò, lè lèt sa a rive kote ou, akoz fis a mèt ou yo avè w, menm jan avèk cha yo, cheval yo ak yon vil fòtifye avèk zam,
3 select the best and most worthy son of your master, set him on his father’s throne, and fight for your master’s house.”
chwazi pi bon ak pi kapab pami fis a mèt ou yo, mete li sou twòn papa l, e batay pou lakay mèt ou.”
4 But they were terrified and reasoned, “If two kings could not stand against him, how can we?”
Men yo te pè anpil. Yo te di: “Men gade, de wa sila yo pa t kanpe devan li! Alò, kijan nou kab kanpe?”
5 So the palace administrator, the overseer of the city, the elders, and the guardians sent a message to Jehu: “We are your servants, and we will do whatever you say. We will not make anyone king. Do whatever is good in your sight.”
Epi sila ki te sou tout kay la ak sila ki te sou vil la, ansyen yo ak gadyen zanfan yo, te voye kote Jéhu e te di: “Nou se sèvitè ou. Tout sa ou mande nou, nou va fè l. Nou p ap fè okenn moun wa. Fè sa ki bon nan zye ou.”
6 Then Jehu wrote them a second letter and said: “If you are on my side, and if you will obey me, then bring the heads of your master’s sons to me at Jezreel by this time tomorrow.” Now the sons of the king, seventy in all, were being brought up by the leading men of the city.
Alò, li te ekri yon lèt yon dezyèm fwa. Li te di: “Si ou sou kote pa m, ou va koute vwa m, pran tèt a mesye yo, fis a mèt ou yo, e vin kote mwen Jizréel demen vè lè sa a.” Alò, fis a wa yo, swasann-dis moun, te avèk moun enpòtan ki nan vil yo ki t ap leve yo.
7 And when the letter arrived, they took the sons of the king and slaughtered all seventy of them. They put their heads in baskets and sent them to Jehu at Jezreel.
Lè lèt la te rive kote yo, yo te pran fis a wa yo e te touye yo; swasann-dis moun, e te mete tèt pa yo nan panyen pou te voye yo kote li Jizréel.
8 When the messenger arrived, he told Jehu, “They have brought the heads of the sons of the king.” And Jehu ordered, “Pile them in two heaps at the entrance of the gate until morning.”
Lè mesaje a te vin pale li, li te di: “Yo gen tan pote tèt a fis a wa yo.” Li te di yo: “Mete yo nan de pil nan antre pòtay la jis rive nan maten.”
9 The next morning, Jehu went out and stood before all the people and said, “You are innocent. It was I who conspired against my master and killed him. But who killed all these?
Alò, nan maten, li te ale deyò pou te kanpe pale a tout pèp la: “Nou inosan. Gade byen, mwen te fè konplo kont mèt mwen, e mwen te touye li. Men se kilès ki te touye tout sila yo?
10 Know, then, that not a word the LORD has spoken against the house of Ahab will fail, for the LORD has done what He promised through His servant Elijah.”
Pou sa, konnen byen ke anyen p ap tonbe atè nan pawòl ke SENYÈ a te pale selon lakay Achab la, paske SENYÈ a te fè sa li te pale ak sèvitè li a, Élie.”
11 So Jehu killed everyone in Jezreel who remained of the house of Ahab, as well as all his great men and close friends and priests, leaving him without a single survivor.
Konsa, Jéhu te touye tout sila ki te rete lakay Achab nan Jizréel yo ak tout moun pwisan pa li yo, avèk sila ki te konnen li yo, avèk prèt li yo, jiskaske pa t gen moun pa l vivan.
12 Then Jehu set out toward Samaria. At Beth-eked of the Shepherds,
Epi li te leve sòti ale Samarie. Nan chemen an, pandan li te Beth-Eked ki te pou bèje yo,
13 Jehu met some relatives of Ahaziah king of Judah and asked, “Who are you?” “We are relatives of Ahaziah,” they answered, “and we have come down to greet the sons of the king and of the queen mother.”
Jéhu te rankontre fanmi a Achazia, wa Juda a. Li te mande: “Se kilès nou ye?” Yo te reponn: “Nou se fanmi a Achazia. Nou te vin desann pou salye fis a wa yo avèk fis a rèn nan.”
14 Then Jehu ordered, “Take them alive.” So his men took them alive, then slaughtered them at the well of Beth-eked—forty-two men. He spared none of them.
Li te di: “Pran yo vivan.” Konsa, yo te pran yo vivan e te touye yo nan fòs ki rele Beth-Eked la; karann-de mesye, e li pa t kite youn nan yo.
15 When he left there, he found Jehonadab son of Rechab, who was coming to meet him. Jehu greeted him and asked, “Is your heart as true to mine as my heart is to yours?” “It is!” Jehonadab replied. “If it is,” said Jehu, “give me your hand.” So he gave him his hand, and Jehu helped him into his chariot,
Alò, lè li te kite la, li te rankontre Jonadab, fis a Récab ki te vin rankontre li a. Li te salye li, e te di li: “Èske kè ou bon, jan kè m avèk kè ou a?” Jonadab te reponn: “Li konsa.” Jéhu te di: “Si li konsa, ban mwen men ou.” Epi li te pran li fè l monte nan cha li a.
16 saying, “Come with me and see my zeal for the LORD!” So he had him ride in his chariot.
Li te di: “Vini avè m pou wè zèl mwen pou SENYÈ a.” Konsa, li te fè li ale nan cha li a.
17 When Jehu came to Samaria, he struck down everyone belonging to Ahab who remained there, until he had destroyed them, according to the word that the LORD had spoken to Elijah.
Lè li te rive Samarie, li te touye tout moun ki te rete pou Achab Samarie yo, jiskaske li te fin detwi li nèt, selon pawòl SENYÈ a te pale a Élie a.
18 Then Jehu brought all the people together and said, “Ahab served Baal a little, but Jehu will serve him a lot.
Konsa, Jéhu te rasanble tout pèp la e li te pale yo: “Achab te sèvi Baal yon tikras; Jéhu va sèvi li anpil.
19 Now, therefore, summon to me all the prophets of Baal, all his servants, and all his priests. See that no one is missing, for I have a great sacrifice for Baal. Whoever is missing will not live.” But Jehu was acting deceptively in order to destroy the servants of Baal.
Pou sa, voye fè parèt tout pwofèt a Baal yo, tout sila ki sèvi l avèk tout prèt li yo. Pa kite youn nan yo pa la. Paske mwen gen yon gran sakrifis pou Baal. Nenpòt moun ki pa la, p ap viv.” Men se avèk riz Jéhu te fè sa, jis pou li ta kapab detwi fidèl a Baal yo.
20 And Jehu commanded, “Proclaim a solemn assembly for Baal.” So they announced it.
Jéhu te di: “Anonse yon fèt sen pou Baal.” Epi yo te anonse l.
21 Then Jehu sent word throughout Israel, and all the servants of Baal came; there was not a man who failed to show. They entered the temple of Baal, and it was filled from end to end.
Konsa, Jéhu te voye toupatou an Israël e tout sèvitè a Baal yo te vini, jis pa t gen yon moun ki rete ki pa t vini. Lè yo te antre nan kay Baal la, kay Baal la te ranpli jis sòti nan yon pwent pou rive nan yon lòt pwent.
22 And Jehu said to the keeper of the wardrobe, “Bring out garments for all the servants of Baal.” So he brought out garments for them.
Li te di a sila ki te sou chaj vètman yo: “Mennen vètman yo deyò pou tout sèvitè Baal yo.” Konsa, li te mennen vètman yo deyò pou yo.
23 Next, Jehu and Jehonadab son of Rechab entered the temple of Baal, and Jehu said to the servants of Baal, “Look around to see that there are no servants of the LORD here among you—only servants of Baal.”
Jéhu te antre lakay Baal avèk Jonadab, fis a Récab la, epi li te di a sèvitè Baal yo: “Chache pou wè ke pa gen pami nou okenn nan sèvitè SENYÈ a; men sèlman sèvitè a Baal yo.”
24 And they went in to offer sacrifices and burnt offerings. Now Jehu had stationed eighty men outside and warned them, “If anyone allows one of the men I am delivering into your hands to escape, he will forfeit his life for theirs.”
Epi yo te antre ladann pou ofri sakrifis avèk ofrann brile. Alò, Jéhu te estasyone pou li, katre-ven òm deyò a, e li te di: “Sila ki kite nenpòt nan mesye yo ke m mennen nan men nou yo chape, li menm va bay lavi li an echanj.”
25 When he had finished making the burnt offering, Jehu said to the guards and officers, “Go in and kill them. Do not let anyone out.” So the guards and officers put them to the sword, threw the bodies out, and went into the inner room of the temple of Baal.
Li te vin rive ke depi li te fin fè ofrann brile a, Jéhu te di a gad avèk ofisye wayal yo, “Antre ladann e touye yo! Pa kite pèsòn sòti!” Konsa, yo te touye yo avèk lam nepe, epi gad avèk ofisye wayal yo te jete yo deyò e te antre nan chanm enteryè nan kay Baal la.
26 They brought out the sacred pillar of the temple of Baal and burned it.
Yo te pran pilye sakre lakay Baal yo e te mennen yo deyò pou te brile yo.
27 They also demolished the sacred pillar of Baal. Then they tore down the temple of Baal and made it into a latrine, which it is to this day.
Anplis, yo te kraze pilye sakre a Baal la, yo te kraze kay Baal la e te fè l tounen yon latrin jis rive jodi a.
28 Thus Jehu eradicated Baal from Israel,
Konsa, Jéhu te rache Baal sòti an Israël.
29 but he did not turn away from the sins that Jeroboam son of Nebat had caused Israel to commit—the worship of the golden calves at Bethel and Dan.
Men peche a Jéroboam yo, fis a Nebath la, avèk sila li te fè Israël peche a, depi sila yo, Jéhu pa t kite yo, menm jenn bèf an lò ki te Béthel e ki te Dan.
30 Nevertheless, the LORD said to Jehu, “Because you have done well in carrying out what is right in My sight and have done to the house of Ahab all that was in My heart, four generations of your sons will sit on the throne of Israel.”
SENYÈ a te di a Jéhu: “Akoz ou te fè sa ki bon nan acheve sa ki bon nan zye m, e ou te fè a lakay Achab selon tout sa ki te nan kè M, fis ou yo jis rive nan katriyèm jenerasyon va chita sou twòn Israël la.”
31 Yet Jehu was not careful to follow the instruction of the LORD, the God of Israel, with all his heart. He did not turn away from the sins that Jeroboam had caused Israel to commit.
Men Jéhu pa t fè atansyon mache avèk tout kè li nan lalwa SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la. Li pa t kite peche a Jéroboam yo, avèk sila li te fè Israël peche yo.
32 In those days the LORD began to reduce the size of Israel. Hazael defeated the Israelites throughout their territory
Nan jou sa yo, SENYÈ a te kòmanse koupe retire li nan peyi Israël la. Hazaël te bat yo toupatou nan teritwa Israël la,
33 from the Jordan eastward through all the land of Gilead (the region of Gad, Reuben, and Manasseh), and from Aroer by the Arnon Valley through Gilead to Bashan.
soti nan Jourdain an pou ale vè lès, tout peyi Galaad la, Gadit yo, Ribenit yo ak Manasit yo, soti nan Aroër, ki akote vale Arnon an, menm Galaad avèk Basan.
34 As for the rest of the acts of Jehu, along with all his accomplishments and all his might, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
Alò, tout lòt zèv a Jéhu yo ak tout sa li te fè avèk tout pwisans li, èske yo pa ekri nan Liv Kwonik a Wa Israël yo?
35 And Jehu rested with his fathers and was buried in Samaria, and his son Jehoahaz reigned in his place.
Konsa, Jéhu te dòmi avèk zansèt li yo, e yo te antere li Samarie. Joachaz, fis li a, te devni wa nan plas li.
36 So the duration of Jehu’s reign over Israel in Samaria was twenty-eight years.
Alò, tan ke Jéhu te renye sou Israël Samarie a se te venn-tuitan.
