1 Kings 22
1 Then three years passed without war between Syria and Israel.
Pandan twazan, pa t' gen lagè ant peyi Izrayèl ak peyi Siri.
2 But in the third year, Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, descended to the king of Israel.
Men nan twazyèm lanne a, Jozafa, wa peyi Jida a, al vizite Akab, wa peyi Izrayèl la.
3 And the king of Israel said to his servants, “Are you ignorant that Ramoth Gilead is ours, and that we have neglected to take it from the hand of the king of Syria?”
Wa Izrayèl la di chèf li yo: -Nou konnen lavil Ramòt ki nan peyi Galarad la se pou nou li ye. Poukisa nou pa fè anyen pou nou reprann li nan men wa peyi Siri a?
4 And so he said to Jehoshaphat, “Will you come to the battle with me at Ramoth Gilead?”
Lèfini li mande Jozafa: -Eske w'ap vin avè m' pou atake lavil Ramòt nan peyi Galarad la? Jozafa reponn li: -Mwen menm ak tout sòlda mwen yo ak kavalye mwen yo, nou avè ou ansanm ak pèp ou a: se yonn lan nou ye.
5 And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel: “As I am, so also are you. My people and your people are one. And my horsemen are your horsemen.” And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, “I beg you to inquire today of the word of the Lord.”
Apre sa, Jozafa di Akab, wa peyi Izrayèl la: -Annou mande Seyè a sa li di nan sa.
6 Therefore, the king of Israel gathered together the prophets, about four hundred men, and he said to them, “Should I go to Ramoth Gilead to make war, or should I be at peace?” They responded, “Ascend, and the Lord will give it into the hand of the king.”
Se konsa Akab reyini katsan (400) pwofèt li yo, li mande yo: -Eske se pou m' al atake lavil Ramòt nan peyi Galarad la, osinon èske se pou m' kite sa? Yo reponn li: -Atake l', monwa! Seyè a ap lage l' nan men ou.
7 Then Jehoshaphat said, “Is there not here a particular prophet of the Lord, so that we may inquire by him?”
Lè sa a, Jozafa di konsa: -Pa gen lòt pwofèt nou ta ka mande si se volonte Seyè a pou n' al fè sa vre?
8 And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat: “One man remains, by whom we may be able to inquire of the Lord: Micaiah, the son of Imlah. But I hate him. For he does not prophecy good to me, but evil.” And Jehoshaphat said, “You should not speak in this way, O king.”
Akab reponn: -Gen yon lòt pwofèt ankò ki ta ka fè sa pou nou. Se Miche, pitit gason Jimla a. Men, m' rayi l', paske li pa janm di anyen ki pou bon pou mwen. Li toujou wè malè pou mwen. Jozafa reponn: -Pa di sa, monchè!
9 Therefore, the king of Israel called a certain eunuch, and he said to him, “Hurry to bring here Micaiah, the son of Imlah.”
Se konsa Akab rele yonn nan nèg konfyans li yo, li di li: -Prese al chache Miche, pitit gason Jimla a, pou mwen.
10 Now the king of Israel, and Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, were each sitting upon his own throne, clothed in the habit of royal vestments, in a courtyard beside the entrance of the gate of Samaria. And all the prophets were prophesying in their sight.
Wa peyi Izrayèl la ak Jozafa, wa peyi Jida a, te chita, yo chak sou fotèy pa yo ak bèl rad wa yo sou yo, sou gwo glasi ki bò pòtay lavil Samari a sou deyò. Tout pwofèt yo te la devan yo ap bay mesaj pa yo.
11 Also, Zedekiah, the son of Chenaanah, made for himself horns of iron, and he said, “Thus says the Lord: With these, you shall threaten Syria, until you destroy it.”
Yonn ladan yo te rele Sedesyas. Se te pitit Kenana. Li fè fè de kòn an fè. Li di: -Men sa Seyè a di: Avèk kòn sa yo, ou pral atake moun Siri yo, ou pral fini ak yo.
12 And all the prophets were prophesying similarly, saying: “Ascend to Ramoth Gilead, and go forth to success. For the Lord will deliver it into the hands of the king.”
Tout lòt pwofèt yo t'ap bay menm mesaj la tou. Yo t'ap di: -Ou mèt al atake Ramòt nan peyi Galarad. W'ap bon. Seyè a ap lage lavil la nan men ou.
13 Then truly, the messenger who had gone to summon Micaiah spoke to him, saying: “Behold, the words of the prophets, as if with one mouth, are predicting good to the king. Therefore, let your word be like theirs, and speak what is good.”
Mesaje ki te pati al rele Miche a di Miche konsa: -Tout lòt pwofèt yo te pale anfavè wa a. Ranje kò ou pou pale tankou yo tout. Pale anfavè wa a.
14 But Micaiah said to him, “As the Lord lives, whatever the Lord will have said to me, this shall I speak.”
Men, Miche reponn li: -Mwen pran Seyè a, Bondye vivan an, sèvi m' temwen. Sa Seyè a va di m' di se sa m'a di.
15 And so he went to the king. And the king said to him, “Micaiah, should we go to Ramoth Gilead to do battle, or should we cease?” And he responded to him, “Ascend, and go forth to success, and the Lord will deliver it into the hands of the king.”
Lè Miche rive devan wa a, wa a di l' konsa: -Miche, èske se pou m' al atake lavil Ramòt nan peyi Galarad, osinon èske sè pou m' kite sa? Miche reponn: -Ou mèt al atake Ramòt nan peyi Galarad. W'ap bon. Seyè a ap lage lavil la nan men ou.
16 But the king said to him, “I require you under oath, again and again, that you not say to me anything except what is true, in the name of the Lord.”
Men Akab di li: -Konbe fwa pou m' di ou lè w'ap pale avè m' nan non Seyè a se pou di m' laverite?
17 And he said: “I saw all of Israel scattered among the hills, like sheep that have no shepherd. And the Lord said: ‘These have no master. Let each of them return to his own house in peace.’”
Lè sa a, Miche reponn li: -Mwen wè tout sòlda pèp Izrayèl yo gaye toupatou sou mòn yo, tankou yon bann mouton san gadò. Seyè a di: Moun sa yo san chèf. Kite yo tounen lakay yo ak kè poze.
18 Therefore, the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat: “Did I not tell you that he prophesies nothing good to me, but always evil?”
Akab, wa peyi Izrayèl la, di Jozafa: -Mwen pa t' di ou li pa janm di anyen ki bon pou mwen. Li toujou wè malè pou mwen.
19 Yet truly, continuing, he said: “Because of his, listen to the word of the Lord. I saw the Lord sitting upon his throne. And the entire army of heaven was standing beside him, to the right and to the left.
Miche pran lapawòl ankò li di: -Bon! Koute mesaj Seyè a. Mwen te wè Seyè a chita sou fotèy li nan syèl la, avèk tout zanj li yo kanpe bò kote l', sou bò dwat ak sou bò gòch li.
20 And the Lord said, ‘Who will mislead Ahab, the king of Israel, so that he may ascend and fall at Ramoth Gilead?’ And one spoke words in this manner, and another spoke otherwise.
Seyè a t'ap mande ki moun ki vle al pran tèt Akab pou l' al fè yo touye l' lavil Ramòt. Gen zanj ki di yon bagay, gen lòt zanj ki di yon lòt bagay.
21 But then a spirit went out and stood before the Lord. And he said, ‘I will mislead him.’ And the Lord said to him, ‘By what means?’
Se lè sa a, yon lespri vanse devan Seyè a, li di: Mwen pral pran tèt li.
22 And he said, ‘I will go forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.’ And the Lord said: ‘You will deceive him, and you will prevail. Go forth, and do so.’
Seyè a mande l': Ki jan? Lespri a reponn: Mwen pral mete pawòl manti nan bouch pwofèt Akab yo. Seyè a di l': W'a pran tèt li vre konsa. Ou mèt al fè jan ou di a.
23 So now, behold: the Lord has given a lying spirit into the mouth of all your prophets who are here. And the Lord has spoken evil against you.”
Koulye a, ou konnen si Seyè a te mete yon lespri mantò sou pwofèt ou yo pou yo ba ou manti, se paske li pran desizyon pou l' fini avè ou.
24 Then Zedekiah, the son of Chenaanah, drew near and struck Micaiah on the jaw, and he said, “So then, has the Spirit of the Lord left me, and spoken to you?”
Lè sa a, Sedesyas, pitit Kenana a, mache sou Miche, li flanke li yon souflèt. Epi li di l': -Depi kilè lespri Bondye a kite m' pou se nan bouch ou l'ap pale a?
25 And Micaiah said, “You shall see in the day when you will enter into a room within a room, so that you may conceal yourself.”
Miche reponn li: -W'a konn sa lè w'a kouri pase soti nan yon chanm antre nan yon lòt pou al kache jouk nan fon!
26 And the king of Israel said: “Take Micaiah, and let him dwell with Amon, the ruler of the city, and with Joash, the son of Amalech.
Se konsa, wa Akab pase yon lòd, li di: -Pran Miche. Mennen l' bay Amon, gouvènè lavil la, ak Joas, pitit wa a.
27 And tell them: ‘Thus says the king: Put this man in prison, and sustain him with the bread of affliction, and with the water of distress, until I return in peace.’”
Di yo mwen bay lòd pou yo mete l' nan prizon, pou yo ba li renk pen ak dlo jouk m'a tounen soti nan lagè a san danje ni malè.
28 And Micaiah said, “If you will have returned in peace, the Lord has not spoken through me.” And he said, “May all the people hear it.”
Lè sa a, Miche di: -Si ou tounen soti nan lagè a san danje ni malè vre, w'a konnen Seyè a pa t' pale nan bouch mwen. Lèfini, li di: -Nou tout pèp yo, koute sa m' di la a wi!
29 And so, the king of Israel, and Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, ascended to Ramoth Gilead.
Se konsa Akab, wa peyi Izrayèl la ansanm ak Jozafa, wa peyi Jida a, moute al atake lavil Ramòt nan peyi Galarad.
30 Then the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat: “Take up your armor, and enter the battle. And be clothed in your own garments.” But the king of Israel changed his clothing, and he entered the war.
Akab di Jozafa konsa: -Mwen pral mete yon lòt rad sou mwen anvan m' al goumen an, pou moun pa rekonèt mwen. Ou menm, ou mèt mete rad wa ou sou ou. Se konsa wa peyi Izrayèl la chanje rad sou li pou moun pa rekonèt li. Apre sa, l' al goumen.
31 Now the king of Syria had instructed the thirty-two commanders of the chariots, saying, “You shall not fight against anyone, small or great, except against the king of Israel alone.”
Men, wa peyi Siri a te bay trannde chèf ki t'ap kòmande cha lagè yo pou yo pa atake pesonn pase wa peyi Izrayèl la.
32 Therefore, when the commanders of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, they suspected that he was the king of Israel. And making a violent assault, they fought against him. And Jehoshaphat cried out.
Se konsa, lè kòmandan cha lagè yo wè Jozafa, yo tout te konprann se li ki te wa peyi Izrayèl la. Yo vire sou li pou atake l'. Men, Jozafa rele anmwe.
33 And the commanders of the chariots understood that he was not the king of Israel, and so they turned away from him.
Lè mesye yo tande sa, yo wè se pa t' wa peyi Izrayèl la. Yo rete sou sa yo te vle fè a.
34 But a certain man bent his bow, aiming the arrow without certitude, and by chance he struck the king of Israel, between the lungs and the stomach. Then he said to the driver of his chariot, “Turn your hand, and carry me away from the army, for I have been grievously wounded.”
Lè sa a, yon sòlda peyi Siri a rete konsa li voye yon flèch. Flèch la al pran Akab, wa Izrayèl la, nan fant rad lagè ki te sou li a. Wa a di sòlda ki t'ap mennen cha li a: -Kase tèt tounen. Annou kite batay la, paske mwen blese grav.
35 Then the battle was undertaken throughout that day. And the king of Israel was standing on his chariot opposite the Syrians, and he died in the evening. For the blood was flowing from the wound into the joints of the chariot.
Jou sa a, batay la te makònen anpil. Wa Akab menm te blije rete kanpe sou cha li a ap gade moun peyi Siri yo. San t'ap koule soti kote li te blese a, li sal tout anndan cha a. Rive aswè, li mouri.
36 And a herald proclaimed throughout the entire army, before the setting of the sun, saying: “Let each one return to his own city, and to his own land.”
Lè solèy pral kouche, yon vwa pran pale nan zòrèy sòlda pèp Izrayèl yo, li t'ap di: -Chak moun al nan peyi yo, chak moun al lakay yo,
37 Then the king died, and he was carried into Samaria. And they buried the king in Samaria.
paske wa a mouri. Apre sa, yo mennen kadav wa a lavil Samari. Se la yo antere l'.
38 And they washed his chariot in the pool of Samaria. And the dogs licked up his blood. And they washed the reins, in accord with the word of the Lord which he had spoken.
Y' al lave cha wa a nan basen Samari a, kote jennès yo konn al benyen an. Chen vin niche san Akab la jan Seyè a te di sa t'ap rive a.
39 But the rest of the words of Ahab, and all that he did, and the house of ivory that he built, and all the cities that he constructed, were these not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Israel?
Tout rès istwa Akab la ansanm ak tou sa li te fè, bèl palè ivwa ak lavil li te bati yo, n'a jwenn tou sa ekri nan liv Istwa wa peyi Izrayèl yo.
40 And so, Ahab slept with his fathers. And Ahaziah, his son, reigned in his place.
Lè Akab mouri, se pitit li, Okozyas ki moute wa nan plas li.
41 Yet truly, Jehoshaphat, the son of Asa, had begun to reign over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab, the king of Israel.
Akab te gen katran depi li t'ap gouvènen peyi Izrayèl la lè Jozafa, pitit Asa a, moute sou fotèy wa peyi Jida a.
42 He was thirty-five years old when he had begun to reign, and he reigned for twenty-five years in Jerusalem. The name of his mother was Azubah, the daughter of Shilhi.
Lè sa a, li te gen trannsenkan sou tèt li. Li pase vennsenkan ap gouvènen lavil Jerizalèm. Manman li te rele Azouba. Se te pitit fi Chilki.
43 And he walked in the entire way of Asa, his father, and he did not decline from it. And he did what was right in the sight of the Lord. Yet truly, he did not take away the high places. For still the people were sacrificing and burning incense in the high places.
Jozafa li menm te swiv Asa, papa l', pye pou pye nan tou sa l' te fè. Li te fè sa ki dwat devan Seyè a. Tansèlman, tanp zidòl yo te la toujou nan peyi a, kifè pèp la pa t' sispann fè sèvis, touye bèt pou zidòl yo.
44 And Jehoshaphat had peace with the king of Israel.
Jozafa te siyen lapè ak wa peyi Izrayèl la.
45 But the rest of the words of Jehoshaphat, and his works that he did, and the battles, were these not written in the book of the words of the days of the kings of Judah?
n'a jwenn rès istwa Jozafa a nan liv Istwa wa peyi Jida yo. Se la yo rakonte jan li te yon vanyan sòlda, ak tout lagè li te fè yo,
46 Then, too, the remnant of the effeminate, who had remained in the days of Asa, his father, he took away from the land.
jan li disparèt rès gason ak fanm ki t'ap fè jennès nan kay zidòl yo toujou depi sou rèy Asa, papa l'.
47 At that time, there was no king appointed in Idumea.
(Lè sa a, pa t' gen wa nan peyi Edon. Se yon gouvènè wa Jida a te mete pou gouvènen yo.)
48 Yet truly, king Jehoshaphat had made a navy on the sea, which would sail to Ophir for gold. But they were unable to go, because the ships were broken down at Eziongeber.
Jozafa te fè fè kèk gwo batiman, tankou batiman moun Tasis yo, pou al chache lò nan peyi Ofi. Men, batiman yo pa janm rive al fè vwayaj la, paske yo kraze bò Ezyongebè.
49 Then Ahaziah, the son of Ahab, said to Jehoshaphat, “Let my servants go with your servants on the ships.” But Jehoshaphat was not willing.
Lè sa a, Okozyas, pitit Akab la, ofri pou maren peyi Izrayèl yo ale ansanm ak maren peyi Jida yo sou batiman pa yo. Men, Jozafa derefize.
50 And Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and he was buried with them in the city of David, his father. And Jehoram, his son, reigned in his place.
Lè Jozafa mouri, yo antere l' nan Lavil David, zansèt li a. Se pitit li, Joram, ki moute sou fotèy la nan plas li.
51 Then Ahaziah, the son of Ahab, began to reign over Israel, in Samaria, in the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah. And he reigned over Israel for two years.
Jozafa t'ap mache sou disetan depi li te wa peyi Jida a, lè Okozyas, pitit Akab, moute sou fotèy wa peyi Izrayèl la. Li pase dezan ap gouvènen peyi Izrayèl la lavil Samari.
52 And he did evil in the sight of the Lord. And he walked in the way of his father and his mother, and in the way of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin.
Li fè sa ki mal nan je Seyè a. Li swiv egzanp papa l' ak manman l'. Li fè tankou Jewoboram, pitit gason Nebat la, ki te lakòz moun pèp Izrayèl yo fè sa ki mal.
53 Also, he served Baal, and he adored him, and he provoked the Lord, the God of Israel, in accord with all that his father had done.
Li sèvi Baal, li adore l' tankou papa l' te fè a. Se konsa li te fè Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, fache anpil.
