< 1 Kings 13 >
1 And behold, by the word of the Lord, a man of God went from Judah to Bethel, when Jeroboam was standing over the altar, and burning incense.
Lè sa a, Seyè a bay yonn nan pwofèt li yo ki te nan peyi Jida lòd pou li moute lavil Betèl. Lè li rive lavil Betèl, Jewoboram te kanpe bò lotèl la ap boule lansan.
2 And by the word of the Lord, he cried out against the altar. And he said: “O altar, O altar! Thus says the Lord: ‘Behold, a son will be born to the house of David, Josiah by name. And upon you, he will immolate the priests of the high places, who now burn incense upon you. And upon you, he will burn up the bones of men.’”
Dapre lòd Seyè a te ba li a, pwofèt la pale byen fò, li bay mesaj sa a sou lotèl la: -Ou menm lotèl! Wi, ou menm lotèl! Men sa Seyè a di: Nan fanmi David la, gen yon timoun ki pral fèt, y'ap rele l' Jozyas. L'ap vini, l'ap pran tout prèt k'ap sèvi nan kay zidòl yo, prèt k'ap boule lansan sou ou yo, l'ap touye yo sou ou. Lèfini, sou ou ankò y'a boule zosman moun.
3 And he gave a sign on the same day, saying: “This will be the sign that the Lord has spoken. Behold, the altar shall be torn apart, and the ashes that are upon it shall be poured out.”
Menm jou sa a pwofèt la bay yon siy, li di konsa: -Lotèl sa a pral fann de bò. Sann dife ki sou li a pral gaye tout atè a. Lè n'a wè sa, n'a konnen se Seyè a menm ki pale nan bouch mwen.
4 And when the king had heard the word of the man of God, which he had cried out against the altar at Bethel, he extended his hand from the altar, saying, “Apprehend him!” But his hand, which he had extended against him, withered. And he was unable to draw it back to himself.
Lè Jewoboram tande pawòl pwofèt la te di sou lotèl Betèl la, li lonje men l' anwo lotèl la sou pwofèt la, li di: -Pran msye! Men, men li te lonje sou pwofèt la rete tou rèd, li pa t' ka fè yon mouvman avè l' ankò.
5 Also, the altar was torn apart, and the ashes were poured out from the altar, in accord with the sign that the man of God had predicted by the word of the Lord.
Lamenm, lotèl la rete konsa, li fann de bò, epi sann dife ki te sou li a gaye tout atè a, jan pwofèt la te di sa nan non Seyè a.
6 And the king said to the man of God, “Entreat the face of the Lord your God, and pray for me, so that my hand may be restored to me.” And the man of God prayed before the face of the Lord, and the hand of the king was restored to him, and it became as it had been before.
wa Jewoboram pran lapawòl ankò, li di pwofèt Bondye a konsa: -Tanpri, lapriyè Seyè a, Bondye ou la, pou mwen. Mande l' pou l' geri men m'. Pwofèt la lapriyè Seyè a vre, epi men wa a geri, li vin jan li te ye anvan an.
7 Then the king said to the man of God: “Come home with me, so that you may dine. And I will give you gifts.”
Apre sa, wa a di pwofèt la konsa: -Ann al lakay avè m'. W'a manje. Lèfini, m'a fè ou kado kichòy.
8 And the man of God responded to the king: “Even if you will give me one half part of your house, I will not go with you, nor eat bread, nor drink water in this place.
Pwofèt la reponn: -Ou ta mèt ban mwen mwatye nan tout richès ou yo, mwen p'ap mete pwent pye m' lakay ou. Mwen p'ap manje pen, ni mwen p'ap bwè dlo isit la.
9 For so it was commanded to me by the word of the Lord, ordering: ‘You shall not eat bread, and you shall not drink water, nor shall you return by the way that you came.’”
Paske, Seyè a te ban mwen lòd pou m' pa ni manje ni bwè anyen, lèfini pou m' pa pran menm chemen mwen te vini an pou m' tounen lakay mwen.
10 Then he departed by another way, and he did not return along the way that he had traveled to Bethel.
Se konsa li pran yon lòt wout pou l' tounen lakay li, li pa pran menm chemen li te pran lè li t'ap vini lavil Betèl la.
11 Now a certain elderly prophet was living in Bethel. His sons went to him, and they described to him all the works which the man of God had accomplished on that day in Bethel. And they described to their father the words that he had spoken to the king.
Nan tan sa a, te gen yon pwofèt ki te rete lavil Betèl. Li te granmoun anpil. Pitit gason l' yo vin rakonte l' tou sa pwofèt Bondye a te fè jou sa a lavil Betèl, ak tou sa li te di wa Jewoboram.
12 And their father said to them, “By which way did he depart?” His sons showed him the way by which the man of God, who had come from Judah, had departed.
Pwofèt la mande yo ki wout yo wè l' pran. Pitit gason l' yo moutre l' chemen pwofèt Bondye ki te soti peyi Jida a te pran.
13 And he said to his sons, “Saddle the donkey for me.” And when they had saddled it, he climbed on,
Li di pitit gason l' yo sele bourik li pou li. Yo sele bourik li a, li moute sou li,
14 and he went away after the man of God. And he found him sitting under a terebinth tree. And he said to him, “Are you the man of God who came from Judah?” And he responded, “I am.”
li pati dèyè pwofèt Bondye a. Li jwenn li chita anba yon pye chenn. Li mande l': -Se ou menm pwofèt Bondye ki soti peyi Jida a? Nonm lan reponn: -Se mwen wi!
15 And he said to him, “Come home with me, so that you may eat bread.”
Li di l' konsa: -Ann al lakay avè m'. W'a manje kichòy!
16 But he said: “I am not able to turn back, nor to go with you. Neither will I eat bread, or drink water in this place.
Men pwofèt peyi Jida a di l': -Non, m' pa ka tounen avè ou, ni m' pa ka al lakay ou. Lèfini, m' p'ap manje, m' p'ap bwè anyen avè ou isit la.
17 For the Lord has spoken to me, by the word of the Lord, saying, “You shall not eat bread, and you shall not drink water in that place, nor shall you return by the way that you arrived.”
Paske Seyè a te ban m' lòd pou m' pa t' ni manje ni bwè anyen avè ou isit la, lèfini pou m' pa pran menm chemen mwen te pase pou m' vini an pou m' tounen.
18 And he said to him: “I, too, am a prophet like you. And an Angel spoke to me, by the word of the Lord, saying, ‘Lead him back with you to your house, so that he may eat bread, and drink water.’” And so he deceived him.
Lè sa a pwofèt lavil Betèl la di l': -Mwen menm tou, mwen se yon pwofèt tankou ou. Se Seyè a menm ki te voye yonn nan zanj li yo vin di m' pou m' fè ou tounen lakay ansanm avè m', lèfini pou m' ba ou manje, pou m' ba ou bwè! Men se manti pwofèt lavil Betèl la t'ap ba li.
19 And he led him back with him. Then he ate bread and drank water in his house.
Se konsa pwofèt peyi Jida a tounen lakay pwofèt Betèl la, li manje, li bwè avè l'.
20 And while they were sitting at table, the word of the Lord came to the prophet who had led him back.
Yo te chita bò tab la toujou lè Seyè a pale ak pwofèt Betèl la
21 And he cried out to the man of God who had arrived from Judah, saying: “Thus says the Lord: Because you were not obedient to the mouth of the Lord, and you did not keep the commandment that the Lord your God instructed to you,
ki pale byen move ak pwofèt peyi Jida a. Li di l' byen fò: -Seyè a di ou ou pa koute lòd li te ba ou, ou pa fè sa li te mande ou fè a.
22 and you turned back, and ate bread, and drank water in the place where he commanded you that you should not eat bread, nor drink water: your dead body shall not be carried back to the sepulcher of your fathers.”
Okontrè, ou tounen, ou manje, ou bwè yon kote li te ba ou lòd pa fè sa. Se poutèt sa w'ap mouri, lèfini, ou p'ap antere nan kavo fanmi ou.
23 And when he had eaten and had drunk, he saddled his donkey for the prophet whom he had led back.
Lè yo fin manje, pwofèt lavil Betèl la sele bourik pwofèt peyi Jida a pou li.
24 And when he had departed, a lion found him along the way, and it killed him, and his dead body was left upon the road. Now the donkey was standing beside him. And the lion was standing beside the dead body.
Pwofèt peyi Jida a pati. Li kontre ak yon lyon sou chemen li, lyon an touye l'. Kadav li te blayi atè a nan mitan chimen an. Bourik la ak lyon an te rete la bò kote l'.
25 And behold, men who were passing by saw the dead body lying in the road, with the lion standing beside the body. And they went and made it widely known in the city where that elderly prophet was living.
Moun ki t'ap pase bò la wè kadav la atè nan chimen an ansanm ak lyon an bò kote l'. Yo antre lavil Betèl kote pwofèt granmoun lan te rete a, yo rakonte sa yo wè.
26 And when that prophet, who had led him back from the way, had heard it, he said: “It is the man of God, who was disobedient to the mouth of the Lord. And the Lord has delivered him to the lion. And it has torn him apart and killed him, in accord with the word of the Lord, which he spoke to him.”
Lè pwofèt la tande sa, li di: -Se pwofèt ki te dezobeyi lòd Seyè a te ba li a. Konsa, Seyè a voye yon lyon atake l'. Lyon an kraze l', li touye l' jan Seyè a te di l' l'ap fè l' la.
27 And he said to his sons, “Saddle a donkey for me.” And when they had saddled it,
Li di pitit gason l' yo. -Sele bourik la pou mwen! Yo sele bourik msye.
28 and he had departed, he found the dead body lying on the road, with the donkey and the lion standing beside the dead body. The lion did not eat from the dead body, nor did it harm the donkey.
Msye pati, li jwenn kadav pwofèt peyi Jida a lonje atè a nan chimen an, bourik la ak lyon an kanpe bò kote l' toujou. Lyon an pa t' manje kadav la, ni li pa t' fè bourik la anyen.
29 Then the prophet took the dead body of the man of God, and he placed it upon the donkey, and returning, he brought it into the city of the elderly prophet, so that he might mourn for him.
Pwofèt lavil Betèl l'a ranmase kadav l'a, li mete l' sou bourik la, li pote l' tounen lavil Betèl. Li pran lapenn pou li. Lèfini, li antere l'.
30 And he placed his dead body in his own sepulcher. And they mourned for him, saying: “Alas! Alas! My brother!”
Li mete kadav la nan kavo pwòp fanmi l'. Li menm ansanm ak pitit gason li yo kriye pou li, yo t'ap di: -Woy, frè mwen! Ou al kite m' vre?
31 And when they had mourned over him, he said to his sons: “When I will have died, bury me in the sepulcher in which the man of God was buried. Place my bones beside his bones.
Apre lantèman an, pwofèt la pale ak pitit gason l' yo. Li di yo: -Lè m'a mouri, n'a antere m' nan kavo sa a, n'a mete kadav mwen kole kole ak kadav pa l' la.
32 For certainly, the word will arrive, which he predicted by the word of the Lord, against the altar, which is in Bethel, and against all the shrines of the high places, which are in the cities of Samaria.”
Pawòl Seyè a te ba li lòd di sou lotèl lavil Betèl la ak sou lòt kote y'ap fè sèvis nan lavil Samari yo gen pou rive vre.
33 After these words, Jeroboam did not turn back from his very evil way. Instead, to the contrary, he made priests for the high places out of the least of the people. Whosoever was willing, he filled his hand, and he became a priest of the high places.
Apre tout bagay sa yo, Jewoboram, wa peyi Izrayèl la, donnen pi rèd nan vye bagay li t'ap fè yo. Li t'ap chwazi moun nan pèp la toujou pou sèvi prèt nan tanp li te bati pou zidòl yo. Depi yon moun te vle prèt, li te ba l' pouvwa a pou li te sèvi prèt nan tanp zidòl yo.
34 And for this reason, the house of Jeroboam sinned, and was uprooted, and was wiped from the face of the earth.
Se konsa, tout fanmi Jewoboram lan lage kò yo nan fè sa ki mal. Se poutèt sa, tout fanmi sa a fini, li disparèt nèt sou latè.
