Kings IV 10
1 And Achaab [had] seventy sons in Samaria. And Ju wrote a letter, and sent it into Samaria to the rulers of Samaria, and to the elders, and to the guardians of [the children of] Achaab, 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 Now then, as soon as this letter shall have reached you, whereas [there are] with you the sons of your master, and with you chariots and horses, and strong cities, and arms,
“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 do ye accordingly look out the best and fittest among your master's sons, and set him on the throne of his father, and fight for the house of your master.
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 And they feared greatly, and said, Behold, two kings stood not before him: and how shall we stand?
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 they that were over the house, and they that were over the city, and the elders and the guardians, sent to Ju, saying, We also [are] thy servants, and whatsoever thou shalt say to us we will do; we will not make [any] man king: we will do that which is right in thine eyes.
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 And Ju wrote them a second letter, saying, If ye [are] for me, and hearken to my voice, take the heads of the men your master's sons, and bring [them] to me at this time to-morrow in Jezrael. Now the sons of the king were seventy men; these great men of the city brought them up.
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 it came to pass, when the letter came to them, that they took the king's sons, and slew them, [even] seventy men, and put their heads in baskets, and sent them to him at Jezrael.
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 And a messenger came and told [him], saying, They have brought the heads of the king's sons. And he said, Lay them [in] two heaps by the door of the gate until the 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 And the morning came, and he went forth, and stood, and said to all the people, Ye are righteous: behold, I conspired against my master, and slew him: but who slew 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 See now that there shall not fall to the ground anything of the word of the Lord which the Lord spoke against the house of Achaab: for the Lord has performed all that he spoke of by the hand of his servant Eliu.
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 And Ju smote all that were left of the house of Achaab in Jezrael, and all his great men, and his acquaintance, and his priests, so as not to leave him [any] remnant.
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 And he arose and went to Samaria, [and] he [was] in the house of sheep-shearing in the way.
Epi li te leve sòti ale Samarie. Nan chemen an, pandan li te Beth-Eked ki te pou bèje yo,
13 And Ju found the brethren of Ochozias king of Juda, and said, Who [are] ye? And they said, We [are] the brethren of Ochozias, and we have come down to salute the sons of the king, and the sons of the queen.
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 And he said, Take them alive. And they slew them at the shearing-house, forty and two men: he left not a man 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 And he went thence and found Jonadab the son of Rechab [coming] to meet him; and he saluted him, and Ju said to him, Is thy heart right with my heart, as my heart [is] with thy heart? And Jonadab said, It is. And Ju said, If it is then, give me thy hand. And he gave him his hand, and he took him up to him into the 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 And he said to him, Come with me, and see me zealous for the Lord. And he caused him to sit 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 And he entered into Samaria, and smote all that were left of Achaab in Samaria, until he had utterly destroyed him, according to the word of the Lord, which he spoke to Eliu.
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 And Ju gathered all the people, and said to them, Achaab served Baal a little; Ju shall serve him much.
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 then do all [ye] the prophets of Baal call all his servants and his priests to me; let not a man be wanting: for I have a great sacrifice [to offer] to Baal; every one who shall be missing shall die. But Ju did it in subtilty, that he might 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 Ju said, Sanctify a solemn festival to Baal, and they made a proclamation.
Jéhu te di: “Anonse yon fèt sen pou Baal.” Epi yo te anonse l.
21 And Ju sent throughout all Israel, saying, Now then let all [Baal's] servants, and all his priests, and all his prophets [come], let none be lacking: for I am going to offer a great sacrifice; whosoever shall be missing, shall not live. So all the servants of Baal came, and all his priests, and all his prophets: there was not one left who came not. And they entered into the house of Baal; and the house of Baal was filled from one end to the other.
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 he said to the man who was over the house of the wardrobe, Bring forth a robe for all the servants of Baal. And the keeper of the robes brought forth to 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 And Ju and Jonadab the son of Rechab entered into the house of Baal, and said to the servants of Baal, Search, and see whether there is among you any of the servants of the Lord, or only the servants of Baal, by themselves.
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 he went in to offer sacrifices and whole-burnt-offerings; and Ju set for himself eighty men without, and said, Every man who shall escape of the men whom I bring into your hand, the life of him [that spares him] shall go for his life.
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 And it came to pass, when he had finished offering the whole-burnt-offering, that Ju said to the footmen and to the officers, Go ye in and slay them; let not a man of them escape. So they smote them with the edge of the sword, and the footmen and the officers cast [the bodies] forth, and went to the city of the house 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 And they brought out the pillar of Baal, and burnt it.
Yo te pran pilye sakre lakay Baal yo e te mennen yo deyò pou te brile yo.
27 And they tore down the pillars of Baal, and made his house a draught-house until 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 So Ju abolished Baal out of Israel.
Konsa, Jéhu te rache Baal sòti an Israël.
29 Nevertheless Ju departed not from following the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who led Israel to sin: [these were] the golden heifers in Baethel and in 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 And the Lord said to Ju, Because of all thy deeds wherein thou hast acted well in doing that which was right in my eyes, according to all things which thou hast done to the house of Achaab [as they were] in my heart, thy sons to the fourth generation shall sit upon 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 But Ju took no heed to walk in the law of the Lord God of Israel with all his heart: he departed not from following the sins of Jeroboam, who made Israel to sin.
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 cut Israel short; and Azael smote them in every coast of Israel;
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 Jordan eastward all the land of Galaad belonging to the Gadites, of Gaddi and that of Ruben, and of Manasses, from Aroer, which is on the brink of the brook of Arnon, and Galaad and Basan.
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 And the rest of the acts of Ju, and all that he did, and all his might, and the wars wherein he engaged, [are] not these things 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 Ju slept with his fathers; and they buried him in Samaria: and Joachaz his son reigned in his stead.
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 And the days which Ju reigned over Israel [were] twenty-eight years in Samaria.
Alò, tan ke Jéhu te renye sou Israël Samarie a se te venn-tuitan.
