2 Kings 10
1 Now there were in Samaria seventy of Ahab's sons. And Jehu sent letters to Samaria, to the rulers of the town, and to the responsible men, and to those who had the care of the sons of Ahab, saying,
Akab te gen swasanndis pitit gason nan lavil Samari. Jeou ekri yon lèt, li voye yon kopi bay tout chèf ki lavil Samari yo, bay chèf fanmi yo ak bay moun ki reskonsab pitit Akab yo. Men sa li voye di yo:
2 Straight away, when you get this letter, seeing that your master's sons are with you, and that you have carriages and horses and a walled town and arms;
—Mwen konnen se nou menm ki gen reskonsablite tout pitit mèt nou yo, cha lagè li yo, chwal li yo, ranpa lavil la ak tout zam ki ladan l'. Resevwa n'a resevwa lèt sa a,
3 Take the best and most upright of your master's sons, and make him king in his father's place, and put up a fight for your master's family.
n'a chwazi yonn nan pitit mèt nou an, sa nou wè ki pi bon an, sa ki gen kalite pou sa, n'a mete l' sou fotèy la nan plas papa l'. Lèfini, n'a goumen pou pran defans li.
4 But they were full of fear, and said, The two kings have gone down before him: how may we keep our place?
Men mesye yo te pè anpil, yo di: —De wa pa t' ka kenbe tèt ak li. Kote se nou ki pou ta rive fè l'!
5 So the controller of the king's house, with the ruler of the town, and the responsible men, and those who had the care of Ahab's sons, sent to Jehu, saying, We are your servants and will do all your orders; we will not make any man king; do whatever seems best to you.
Se konsa ofisye ki te anchaj palè a, gouvènè lavil la, chèf fanmi yo ak reskonsab pitit wa yo voye di Jeou: —Se sou zòd ou nou ye, n'ap fè tou sa ou di nou fè. Men, nou p'ap mete pesonn wa. W'a fè sa w'a wè ki pi bon.
6 Then he sent them a second letter, saying, If you are on my side, and if you will do my orders, come to me at Jezreel by this time tomorrow, with the heads of your master's sons. Now the king's seventy sons were with the great men of the town, who had the care of them.
Jeou voye yon dezyèm lèt ba yo, li di yo: —Si nou avè m', si nou vle koute lòd mwen enben, denmen lè konsa, pote tèt pitit Akab yo ban mwen isit lavil Jizreyèl. Swasanndis pitit Akab yo te lakay grannèg lavil Samari ki t'ap elve yo.
7 And when the letter came to them, they took the king's sons and put them to death, all the seventy, and put their heads in baskets and sent them to him at Jezreel.
Lè yo resevwa lèt Jeou a, yo touye swasanndis pitit Akab yo, yo mete tèt yo nan panyen, yo voye yo bay Jeou lavil Jizreyèl.
8 And a man came and said to him, They have come with the heads of the king's sons. And he said, Put them down in two masses at the doorway of the town till the morning.
Lè yo vin di Jeou yo te pote tèt pitit wa Akab yo, li bay lòd pou yo fè de pil ak yo bò pòtay lavil la, kite yo la jouk denmen maten.
9 And in the morning he went out and, stopping, said to all the people there, You are upright men: it is true that I made designs against my master, and put him to death; but who is responsible for the death of all these?
Nan denmen maten li soti, l' ale kanpe bò pòtay la, li di moun ki te la yo: —Se mwen menm ki te fè konplo kont Joram, mèt mwen an, pou m' te touye l'. Nou pa gen anyen pou nou wè nan sa. Men, sa yo, ki moun ki touye yo?
10 You may be certain that nothing which the Lord has said about the family of Ahab will be without effect; for the Lord has done what he said by his servant Elijah.
Sa vle di Seyè a pa nan pale mete la. Tou sa li te di sou fanmi Akab la te fèt pou rive vre. Se Seyè a menm ki fè tou sa rive jan li te di sa nan bouch Eli, sèvitè l' la.
11 So Jehu put to death all the rest of the seed of Ahab in Jezreel, and all his relations and his near friends and his priests, till there were no more of them.
Se konsa Jeou touye tout rès fanmi Akab ki te lavil Jizreyèl, tout grannèg ki t'ap sèvi avè l' li yo, bon zanmi l' yo ak prèt li yo. Li pa kite yonn ladan yo vivan.
12 Then he got up and came to Samaria. And he was at the meeting-place of the keepers of sheep, by the way,
Apre sa, li pati pou lavil Samari. Sou wout la, lè li rive bò kan gadò mouton yo,
13 When he came across the brothers of Ahaziah, king of Judah, and said, Who are you? And they said, We are the brothers of Ahaziah, king of Judah; we are going down to see the children of the king and of the queen.
li jwenn ak kèk fanmi Okozyas, wa peyi Jida a. Li mande yo: —Ki moun nou ye? Yo reponn li: —Nou se fanmi wa Okozyas. Nou pral di pitit wa a ak pitit larenn lan bonjou.
14 And he said, Take them living. So they took them living, and put them to death in the water-hole of Beth-eked; of the forty-two men he put every one to death;
Jeou bay moun ki te avè l' yo lòd sa a: —Pran yo tou vivan! Yo pran yo tou vivan, yo koupe kou yo bò kan gadò mouton yo. Te gen karannde moun antou. Yo pa kite yonn ladan yo vivan.
15 And when he had gone away from there, he came across Jehonadab, the son of Rechab: and he said good-day to him, and said to him, Is your heart true to mine, as mine is to yours? And Jehonadab in answer said, It is; and Jehu said, If it is, give me your hand. And he gave him his hand, and he made him come up into his carriage.
Jeou pati ankò. Sou wout li, li kontre ak Jonadab, pitit gason Rekab la, ki t'ap mache vin jwenn li. Jeou di l' bonjou, epi li di l' konsa: —Ou gen menm lide avè m'? Eske w'ap mache avè m'? Jonadab reponn: —Wi, m'ap mache avè ou. Jeou di li: —Si nou dakò, ban m' lanmen. Jonadab ak Jeou bay lanmen. Jeou ede l' moute sou cha lagè a bò kote l'.
16 And he said, Come with me and see how I am on fire for the Lord's cause. So he made him go with him in his carriage.
Li di l' konsa: —Ann al avè m'. W'a wè jan mwen soti pou m' sèvi Seyè a. Se konsa yo pati ansanm sou cha a.
17 And when he came to Samaria, he put to death all those of Ahab's family who were still in Samaria, till there were no more of them, as the Lord had said to Elijah.
Lè yo rive lavil Samari, Jeou touye dènye rès moun nan fanmi Akab la. Li pa kite yonn ladan yo vivan, dapre pawòl Seyè a te mete nan bouch pwofèt Eli a.
18 Then Jehu got all the people together and said to them, Ahab was Baal's servant in a small way, but Jehu will be his servant on a great scale.
Apre sa, Jeou reyini tout pèp lavil Samari a, li di yo: —Akab te sèvi Baal yon ti kras, mwen menm m'ap sèvi l' plis pase l'.
19 Now send for all the prophets of Baal and all his servants and all his priests, to come to me; let no one keep away: for I have a great offering to make to Baal; anyone who is not present, will be put to death. This Jehu did with deceit, his purpose being the destruction of the servants of Baal.
Se poutèt sa, fè chache tout pwofèt yo, tout sèvitè Baal yo ak tout prèt li yo, fè yo vin jwenn mwen. Mwen vle pou tout moun la, paske mwen gen pou m' fè yon gwo sèvis pou Baal. Si yon moun pa la l'ap mouri. Men se yon plan Jeou te gen nan tèt li pou l' te touye tout moun k'ap sèvi Baal.
20 And Jehu said, Let there be a special holy meeting for the worship of Baal. So a public statement was made.
Se poutèt sa li bay lòd pou yo fè tout moun konnen yo pral fè yon gwo sèvis pou Baal. Yo fè piblikasyon an.
21 And Jehu sent out through all Israel; and all the servants of Baal came, not one kept away. And they came into the house of Baal, so that it was full from end to end.
Jeou voye bay nouvèl la nan tout peyi Izrayèl la. Tout moun ki sèvi Baal yo vini. Pa t' gen yonn ki pa t' la. Yo tout antre nan tanp Baal la, yo plenn l' nèt.
22 And Jehu said to him who kept the robes, Get out robes for all the servants of Baal. So he got out robes for them.
Jeou rele moun ki te reskonsab rad seremoni yo, li di l' konsa: —Pran rad seremoni bay tout sèvitè Baal yo. Nonm lan mete rad yo deyò, li bay yo chak yonn.
23 And Jehu, with Jehonadab, the son of Rechab, went into the house of Baal; and he said to the servants of Baal, Make a search with care, to see that no servant of the Lord is with you, but only servants of Baal.
Lèfini, Jeou ak Jonadab, pitit Rekab la, rive nan tanp Baal la, li di moun yo: —Se pou nou sèten se renk moun ki sèvi Baal ki la avè nou. Pa kite ankenn moun k'ap sèvi Seyè a nan mitan nou.
24 Then they went in to make offerings and burned offerings. Now Jehu had put eighty men outside, and said to them, If any man whom I give into your hands gets away, the life of him who lets him go will be the price of his life.
Tout moun yo antre nan tanp lan pou ofri bèt pou yo touye pou Baal ak bèt pou yo boule pou li. Men, Jeou te mete katreven moun pa l' sou deyò tanp lan. Li te avèti yo, li te di yo: —Si yonn nan nou kite yonn nan moun mwen pral lage nan men nou yo chape, se li menm k'ap mouri nan plas li.
25 Then when the burned offering was ended, straight away Jehu said to the armed men and the captains, Go in and put them to death; let not one come out. So they put them to the sword; and, pulling the images to the earth, they went into the holy place of the house of Baal.
Fini Jeou fini boule bèt yo pou Baal, li di gad yo ak kaptenn yo: —Antre, touye yo tout! Pa kite yonn ladan yo chape! Mesye Jeou yo antre ak nepe nan men yo, yo touye tout moun, yo trennen kadav yo met deyò. Lèfini, yo tounen nan pyès kote lotèl la ye nan tanp Baal la.
26 And they took out the image of Asherah from the house of Baal, and had it burned.
Yo pran poto yo te mete kanpe pou Baal la, yo pote l' deyò, yo boule l'.
27 The altar of Baal was pulled down and the house of Baal was broken up and made an unclean place, as it is to this day.
Yo demoli lotèl Baal la ansanm ak tanp lan. Yo pran tanp lan yo fè l' sèvi latrin jouk jounen jòdi a.
28 So Jehu put an end to the worship of Baal in Israel.
Se konsa Jeou fè disparèt sèvis Baal nan peyi Izrayèl la.
29 But Jehu did not keep himself from all the sins of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, and the evil he made Israel do; the gold oxen were still in Beth-el and in Dan.
Men li tonbe nan menm peche ak wa Jewoboram, pitit Nebat la, ki te lakòz pèp Izrayèl fè sa ki mal: li sèvi estati lò an fòm towo bèf ki te lavil Betèl ak lavil Dann.
30 And the Lord said to Jehu, Because you have done well in doing what is right in my eyes and effecting all my purpose for the family of Ahab, your sons will be kings of Israel to the fourth generation.
Seyè a di Jeou konsa: —Ou fè fanmi wa Akab la tou sa m' te vle fè yo. Ou byen fèt, ou fè sa ki dwat nan je m'. Se poutèt sa, pitit pitit ou yo pral wa nan peyi Izrayèl la rive sou kat jenerasyon.
31 But Jehu did not take care to keep the law of the Lord with all his heart: he did not keep himself from the sin which Jeroboam did and made Israel do.
Men, Jeou pa t' bat kò l' plis pase sa pou l' te mache dapre lalwa Seyè a. Okontrè, li lage kò l' nan fè menm peche ak wa Jewoboram ki te lakòz pèp Izrayèl la fè sa ki mal.
32 In those days the Lord was angry first with Israel; and Hazael made attacks on all the land of Israel,
Lè sa a, Seyè a konmanse wonyen sou teritwa peyi Izrayèl la. Wa Azayèl atake moun Izrayèl yo toupatou nan peyi a,
33 East of Jordan, in all the land of Gilead, the Gadites and the Reubenites and the Manassites, from Aroer by the valley of the Arnon, all Gilead and Bashan.
depi sou bò solèy leve larivyè Jouden jouk lavil Awoyè, anwo ravin Amon an nan sid, ki vle di nan tout peyi Galarad la ak peyi Bazan an kote moun branch fanmi Gad, fanmi Woubenn ak fanmi Manase yo rete.
34 Now the rest of the acts of Jehu, and all he did, and his great power, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Israel?
Tout rès istwa Jeou a ansanm ak tou sa li te fè ak kote yo rakonte jan li te vanyan sòlda, n'a jwenn tou sa ekri nan liv Istwa wa Izrayèl yo.
35 And Jehu went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth in Samaria. And Jehoahaz his son became king in his place.
Lè Jeou mouri, yo antere l' lavil Samari. Se Joakaz, pitit li, ki moute wa nan plas li.
36 And the time of Jehu's rule over Israel in Samaria was twenty-eight years.
Jeou te gouvènen peyi Izrayèl pandan ventwitan nan lavil Samari.
