1 Kings 20
1 Now Ben-hadad, king of Aram, got all his army together, and thirty-two kings with him, and horses and carriages of war; he went up and made war on Samaria, shutting it in.
Alò, Ben-Hadad, wa Syrie a, te ranmase tout lame li a. Te gen trann-de wa avèk li, avèk cheval ak cha. Li te monte fè syèj sou Samarie e li te goumen kont li.
2 And he sent representatives into the town to Ahab, king of Israel;
Li te voye mesaje yo lavil Achab, wa Israël la, e yo te di li: “Konsa pale Ben-Hadad;
3 And they said to him, Ben-hadad says, Your silver and your gold are mine; and your wives and children are mine.
‘Ajan ou avèk lò ou se pou mwen. Pi bèl madanm ou yo avèk pitit yo se pa m tou.’”
4 And the king of Israel sent him an answer saying, As you say, my lord king, I am yours with all I have.
Wa Israël la te reponn: “Se jan pawòl ou yo ye a, mèt mwen, O wa a. Mwen se pa w ak tout sa ke m genyen.”
5 Then the representatives came back again, and said, These are the words of Ben-hadad: I sent to you saying, Give up to me your silver and your gold, your wives and your children;
Alò, mesaje yo te retounen. Yo te di: “Konsa pale Ben-Hadad: ‘Anverite, mwen te voye kote ou pou te di: “Ou va ban mwen ajan ou avèk lò ou avèk madanm ou ak pitit ou yo,
6 But I will send my servants to you tomorrow about this time, to make a search through your house and the houses of your people, and everything which is pleasing in your eyes they will take away in their hands.
men vè lè sa a demen mwen va voye sèvitè mwen yo kote ou. Yo va chache fouye tout lakay ou avèk lakay sèvitè ou yo, epi nenpòt sa ki gen valè nan zye ou, y ap pran nan men yo pou pote ale.”’”
7 Then the king of Israel sent for all the responsible men of the land, and said, Now will you take note and see the evil purpose of this man: he sent for my wives and my children, my silver and my gold, and I did not keep them back.
Epi wa Israël la te rele tout ansyen peyi a e te di: “Souple, gade byen jan mesye sila a ap chache pwoblèm. Li te voye kote mwen pou madanm mwen avèk pitit mwen yo ak ajan mwen avèk lò mwen, epi mwen pa t refize li.”
8 And all the responsible men and the people said to him, Do not give attention to him or do what he says.
Tout ansyen yo avèk tout pèp la te di li: “Pa koute l ni vin dakò avè l.”
9 So he said to the representatives of Ben-hadad, Say to my lord the king, All the orders you sent the first time I will do; but this thing I may not do. And the representatives went back with this answer.
Konsa, li te di a mesaje Ben-Hadad yo: “Di mèt mwen an, wa a, ‘Tout sa ke ou te premye mande sèvitè ou a, m ap fè yo. Men sila ou mande koulye a, mwen p ap kab fè l.’” Mesaje yo te pati, epi te pòte bay li mesaj la.
10 Then Ben-hadad sent to him, saying, May the gods' punishment be on me if there is enough of the dust of Samaria for all the people at my feet to take some in their hands.
Ben-Hadad te voye kote li e te di: “Ke dye yo ta fè m sa e menm plis, si pousyè Samarie rete kont pou ranpli men a moun ki swiv mwen yo.”
11 And the king of Israel said in answer, Say to him, The time for loud talk is not when a man is putting on his arms, but when he is taking them off.
Epi wa Israël la te reponn li: “Pa kite sila k ap fenk abiye ak boukliye a vante tèt li tankou sila k ap retire l la.”
12 Now when this answer was given to Ben-hadad, he was drinking with the kings in the tents, and he said to his men, Take up your positions. So they put themselves in position for attacking the town.
Lè Ben-Hadad te tande mesaj sila a, pandan li t ap bwè avèk wa yo nan tonèl pwovizwa pa yo, li te di a sèvitè li yo: “Pran plas nou”. Konsa, yo te pran plas yo kont vil la.
13 Then a prophet came up to Ahab, king of Israel, and said, The Lord says, Have you seen all this great army? See, I will give it into your hands today, and you will see that I am the Lord.
Alò, lapoula, yon pwofèt te pwoche Achab, wa Israël la, e te di: “Konsa pale SENYÈ a, ‘Èske ou te wè tout gran kantite foul sila a? Veye byen, Mwen va livre yo nan men ou jodi a e ou va konnen ke se SENYÈ a Mwen ye.’”
14 And Ahab said, By whom? And he said, The Lord says, By the servants of the chiefs who are over the divisions of the land. Then he said, By whom is the fighting to be started? And he made answer, By you.
Epi Achab te di: “Pa kilès?” Epi li te di: “Pa jennonm ki se chèf a pwovens yo.” Epi Achab te di: “Se kilès ki pou louvri batay la?” Epi li te reponn: “Ou menm”.
15 Then he got together the servants of all the chiefs who were over the divisions of the land, two hundred and thirty-two of them; and after them, he got together all the people, all the children of Israel, seven thousand.
Alò, li te rasanble jennonm a chèf pwovens yo, te gen de-san-trann-de. Apre yo, li te rasanble tout pèp la; menm tout fis Israël yo, sèt-mil.
16 And in the middle of the day they went out. But Ben-hadad was drinking in the tents with the thirty-two kings who were helping him.
Yo te sòti a midi, pandan Ben-Hadad t ap bwè jiskaske li sou nan tonèl pwovizwa avèk trann-de wa ki te ede li yo.
17 And the servants of the chiefs who were over the divisions of the land went forward first; and when Ben-hadad sent out, they gave him the news, saying, Men have come out from Samaria.
Jennonm a chèf pwovens yo te sòti devan. Ben-Hadad te voye mesaje deyò, yo te pale li, e te di: “Moun yo gen tan parèt sòti Samarie.”
18 And he said, If they have come out for peace, take them living, and if they have come out for war, take them living.
Alò, li te di: “Si yo sòti pou fè lapè, pran yo vivan; oswa si yo te sòti pou fè lagè, pran yo vivan.”
19 So the servants of the chiefs of the divisions of the land went out of the town, with the army coming after them.
Men sa yo te sòti depi lavil la; jennonm a chèf pwovens yo ak lame ki te swiv yo.
20 And every one of them put his man to death, and the Aramaeans went in flight with Israel after them; and Ben-hadad, king of Aram, got away safely on a horse with his horsemen.
Chak moun te touye yon nonm pou kont li; epi Siryen yo te sove ale e wa Israël la te kouri dèyè yo e Ben-Hadad, wa Syrie a, te chape sou yon cheval avèk chevalye yo.
21 And the king of Israel went out and took the horses and the war-carriages, and made great destruction among the Aramaeans.
Wa Israël la te parèt deyò, li te frape cheval yo avèk cha yo e te touye Siryen yo nan yon gwo masak.
22 Then the prophet came up to the king of Israel, and said to him, Now make yourself strong, and take care what you do, or a year from now the king of Aram will come up against you again.
Alò, pwofèt la te pwoche wa Israël la e te di li: “Ale, ranfòse ou menm e okipe pou wè sa ou gen pou fè; paske nan fen ane a, wa a Syrie va vin monte kont ou.”
23 Then the king of Aram's servants said to him, Their god is a god of the hills; that is why they were stronger than we: but if we make an attack on them in the lowlands, we will certainly be stronger than they.
Alò, sèvitè a wa Syrie a te di li: “dye pa yo se dye mòn yo ye. Pou sa, yo te pi fò pase nou. Men pito ke nou fè lagè kont yo nan ba plèn nan e asireman, nou va vin pi fò pase yo.
24 This is what you have to do: take away the kings from their positions, and put captains in their places;
Fè bagay sa a: retire chak wa sou plas yo e ranplase yo avèk kapitèn nan plas yo,
25 And get together another army like the one which came to destruction, horse for horse, and carriage for carriage; and let us make war on them in the lowlands, and certainly we will be stronger than they. And he gave ear to what they said, and did so.
epi rasanble yon lame tankou lame ke ou te pèdi a, cheval pou cheval e cha pou cha. Nou va goumen kont yo nan plèn nan e asireman, nou va pi fò pase yo.” Epi li te koute vwa yo e te fè l konsa.
26 So, a year later, Ben-hadad got the Aramaeans together and went up to Aphek to make war on Israel.
Nan fen ane a, Ben-Hadad te ranmase Siryen yo e te monte nan Aphek pou goumen kont Israël.
27 And the children of Israel got themselves together, and food was made ready and they went against them; the tents of the children of Israel were like two little flocks of goats before them, but all the country was full of the Aramaeans.
Fis Israël yo te deja rasanble avèk tout pwovizyon yo pou te ale rankontre yo. Yo te fè kan devan Siryen yo tankou de ti bann kabrit, men Siryen yo te ranpli peyi a.
28 And a man of God came up and said to the king of Israel, The Lord says, Because the Aramaeans have said, The Lord is a god of the hills and not of the valleys; I will give all this great army into your hands, and you will see that I am the Lord.
Alò, yon nonm Bondye te vin toupre pou te pale a wa Israël la. Li te di: “Konsa pale SENYÈ a: ‘Akoz Siryen yo te di: “SENYÈ a se yon dye a mòn yo, men Li pa yon dye nan vale yo,” pou sa, mwen va bay tout vast kantite moun sa yo nan men ou e ou va konnen ke Mwen se SENYÈ a.’”
29 Now the two armies kept their positions facing one another for seven days. And on the seventh day the fight was started; and the children of Israel put to the sword a hundred thousand Aramaean footmen in one day.
Konsa, yo te fè kan an, youn kont lòt, pandan sèt jou. Epi nan setyèm jou a, batay la te ouvri e fis Israël yo te touye nan Siryen yo san-mil sòlda apye nan yon sèl jou.
30 But the rest went in flight to Aphek, into the town, where a wall came down on the twenty-seven thousand who were still living. And Ben-hadad went in flight into the town, into an inner room.
Men tout moun ki te rete yo te sove ale antre nan lavil Aphek e miray la te tonbe sou venn-sèt-mil òm ki te rete. Epi Ben-Hadad te sove ale pou te rive anndan vil la nan yon chanm enteryè.
31 Then his servants said to him, It is said that the kings of Israel are full of mercy: let us then put on haircloth, and cords on our heads, and go to the king of Israel; it may be that he will give you your life.
Sèvitè li yo te di li: “Alò, gade byen, nou konn tande ke wa lakay Israël yo se wa ki gen mizerikòd. Souple, annou mete twal sak sou senti nou avèk kòd sou tèt nou pou ale parèt kote wa Israël la. Petèt, li va sove lavi nou.”
32 So they put on haircloth, and cords on their heads, and came to the king of Israel and said, Your servant Ben-hadad says, Let me now keep my life. And he said, Is he still living? he is my brother.
Konsa, yo te mare twal sak sou senti yo, avèk kòd sou tèt yo pou te vin kote wa Israël la e te di: “Sèvitè ou, Ben-Hadad voye di: ‘Souple, kite mwen viv.’” Epi li te di: “Èske li toujou vivan? Li se frè m.”
33 Now the men took it as a sign, and quickly took up his words; and they said, Ben-hadad is your brother. Then he said, Go and get him. So Ben-hadad came out to him and he made him get up into his carriage.
Alò mesye yo te pran sa kòm yon sign, yo te sezi sou pawòl la vit, e yo te di: “Frè ou, Ben-Hadad.” Epi li te di: “Ale, mennen li.” Alò, Ben-Hadad te vin deyò kote li e li te pran li monte nan cha a.
34 And Ben-hadad said to him, The towns my father took from your father I will give back; and you may make streets for yourself in Damascus as my father did in Samaria. And as for me, at the price of this agreement you will let me go. So he made an agreement with him and let him go.
Ben-Hadad te di li: “Vil ke papa m te pran nan men papa ou yo, mwen va remèt yo e ou va fè ri yo pou ou menm nan Damas, tankou papa m te fè nan Samarie a.” Achab te di: “Epi mwen va kite ou ale avèk akò sila a.” Konsa, li te fè yon akò avèk li e te kite li ale.
35 And a certain man of the sons of the prophets said to his neighbour by the word of the Lord, Give me a wound. But the man would not.
Alò, yon sèten nonm pami fis a pwofèt yo te di a yon lòt mesye pa pawòl SENYÈ a: “Souple, frape mwen.” Men mesye a te refize frape li.
36 Then he said to him, Because you have not given ear to the voice of the Lord, straight away when you have gone from me a lion will put you to death. And when he had gone, straight away a lion came rushing at him and put him to death.
Epi li te di li: “Akoz ou pa t koute vwa SENYÈ a, tande byen, depi ou kite mwen, yon lyon va touye ou.” Epi depi li te kite li a, yon lyon te twouve li e te touye li.
37 Then he came across another man, and said, Give me a wound. And the man gave him a blow wounding him.
Alò, li te twouve yon lòt mesye e te di: “Souple, frape mwen.” Epi mesye a te frape li e te blese li.
38 So the prophet went away, and pulling his head-band over his eyes to keep his face covered, took his place by the road waiting for the king.
Konsa, pwofèt la te pati e te tann wa a akote chemen an e li te kache idantite li avèk yon bandaj ki te kouvri zye li.
39 And when the king went by, crying out to him he said, Your servant went out into the fight; and a man came out to me with another man and said, Keep this man: if by any chance he gets away, your life will be the price of his life, or you will have to give a talent of silver in payment.
Pandan wa a t ap pase, li te kriye a wa a e te di: “Sèvitè ou a te antre nan mitan batay la; epi tande byen, yon nonm te vire akote pou te mennen yon mesye kote mwen e li te di: ‘Veye nonm sa a; si pou nenpòt rezon li vin disparèt, alò lavi ou va peye pou lavi pa li, oswa ou va peye yon talan ajan.’
40 But while your servant was turning this way and that, he was gone. Then the king of Israel said to him, You are responsible; you have given the decision against yourself.
Pandan sèvitè ou a te okipe pa isit e pa la, li te vin disparèt.” Epi wa Israël la te di li: “Se konsa jijman ou ap ye; se ou menm ki deside li.”
41 Then he quickly took the head-band from his eyes; and the king of Israel saw that he was one of the prophets.
Epi byen vit li te retire bandaj sou zye li e wa Israël la te vin rekonèt li kòm youn nan pwofèt yo.
42 And he said to him, These are the words of the Lord: Because you have let go from your hands the man whom I had put to the curse, your life will be taken for his life, and your people for his people.
Li te di li: “Konsa pale SENYÈ a: ‘Akoz ou te kite sòti nan men ou nonm ke mwen te dedye a destriksyon an; pou sa, lavi ou va ale pou lavi pa li e pèp ou a pou pèp pa li a.’”
43 Then the king of Israel went back to his house, bitter and angry, and came to Samaria.
Konsa, wa Israël la te ale lakay li pa kontan e byen vekse pou te rive Samarie.
