2 Kings 3
1 Truly, Joram, the son of Ahab, reigned over Israel, in Samaria, in the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah. And he reigned for twelve years.
Alò Joram, fis Achab la te devni Wa sou Israël nan Samarie nan di-zuityèm ane a Josaphat, wa Juda a, e li te renye pandan douzan.
2 And he did evil in the sight of the Lord, but not as his father and mother did. For he took away the statues of Baal, which his father had made.
Li te fè mal nan zye SENYÈ a, malgre, se pa tankou papa li avèk manman li. Paske li te retire pilye sakre a Baal ke papa li te fè a.
3 Yet truly, he did adhere to the sins of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who caused Israel to sin; neither did he withdraw from these.
Sepandan, li te kenbe rèd a peche Jéroboam, fis a Nebat la. Avèk sila li te fè Israël peche a. Li pa t kite yo.
4 Now Mesha, the king of Moab, raised many sheep. And he repaid to the king of Israel one hundred thousand lambs, and one hundred thousand rams, with their fleece.
Alò, Mesha, wa Moab la te yon mèt ki fò nan pran swen mouton. Li te konn peye wa Israël la avèk lenn a san-mil jenn mouton ansanm avèk lenn san-mil belye.
5 And when Ahab had died, he transgressed the pact that he had with the king of Israel.
Men lè Achab te vin mouri, wa Moab la te fè rebèl kont wa Israël la.
6 Therefore, king Joram departed on that day from Samaria, and he took a count of all of Israel.
Konsa, wa Joram te kite Samarie nan tan sa a pou te rasanble tout Israël.
7 And he sent to Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, saying: “The king of Moab has withdrawn from me. Come to battle with me against him.” And he responded: “I will go up. What is mine, is yours. My people are your people. And my horses are your horses.”
Alò, li te voye kote Josaphat, wa Juda a. Li te di: “Wa Moab la te fè rebèl kont mwen. Èske ou va monte avè m pou goumen kont Moab?” Li te reponn: “M ap monte. Mwen tankou ou menm e pèp mwen an tankou pèp pa w la, cheval mwen yo tankou cheval pa ou yo.”
8 And he said, “Along which way shall we ascend?” So he responded, “Along the desert of Idumea.”
Konsa, li te mande: “Nan ki chemen nou dwe monte?” Wa Joram te reponn: “Pa chemen dezè ki nan Édom an.”
9 Therefore, the king of Israel, and the king of Judah, and the king of Idumea, traveled, and they went by a circuitous path for seven days. But there was no water for the army or for the beasts of burden which were following them.
Konsa, wa Israël la te ale avèk wa Juda a ak wa Édom an e nan vwayaj la, yo fè yon tou mache pandan sèt jou, e pa t gen dlo pou lame a ak pou betay ki te swiv yo.
10 And the king of Israel said: “Alas, alas, alas! The Lord has gathered we three kings, so that he might deliver us into the hands of Moab.”
Alò, wa Israël la te di: “Elas! Konsa SENYÈ a te rele twa wa sa yo pou lage yo nan men Moab.”
11 And Jehoshaphat said, “Is there not a prophet of the Lord here, so that we may appeal to the Lord through him?” And one of the servants of the king of Israel responded, “Elisha, the son of Shaphat, is here, who poured water upon the hands of Elijah.”
Men Josaphat te di: “Èske pa gen yon pwofèt SENYÈ a isit la, pou nou kapab fè demann SENYÈ a pa li menm?” Youn nan sèvitè wa yo te reponn. Li te di: “Élisée, fis a Schaphath la, ki te konn vide dlo sou men a Élie yo isit la.”
12 And Jehoshaphat said, “The word of the Lord is with him.” And so, the king of Israel, with Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, and with the king of Idumea, descended to him.
Josaphat te di: “Pawòl SENYÈ a avèk li.” Konsa, wa Israël la avèk Josaphat, avèk wa Édom an te desann kote li.
13 Then Elisha said to the king of Israel: “What is there between you and me? Go to the prophets of your father and your mother.” And the king of Israel said to him, “Why has the Lord gathered these three kings, so that he might deliver them into the hands of Moab?”
Alò, Élisée te di a wa Israël la: “Kisa m gen avè w? Ale kote pwofèt a papa ou avèk pwofèt a manman ou yo.” Wa Israël la te reponn: “Non, paske SENYÈ a te rele twa wa sila yo ansanm pou livre yo nan men a wa Moab la.”
14 And Elisha said to him: “As the Lord of hosts lives, in whose sight I stand, if I was not humbled by the face of Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, certainly I would neither have listened to you, nor have looked upon you.
Élisée te di: “Jan SENYÈ a viv la, devan sila mwen kanpe a, si se pa ke m respekte prezans a Josaphat, wa Juda a, mwen pa t ap gade ou, ni wè ou.
15 But now, bring a musician to me.” And while the musician was playing, the hand of the Lord fell upon him, and he said:
Men koulye a, mennen ban mwen yon mizisyen.” Epi li te vin rive ke lè mizisyen an te jwe, men SENYÈ a te vini sou Elisée.
16 “Thus says the Lord: Make, in the channel of this torrent, pit after pit.
Li te di: “Konsa di SENYÈ a: ‘Fè vale sila a vin ranpli avèk kanal.’
17 For thus says the Lord: You shall not see wind or rain. And yet this channel shall be filled with water. And you shall drink, you and your families, and your beasts of burden.
Paske konsa pale SENYÈ a: ‘Ou p ap wè van ni ou p ap wè lapli. Malgre sa, vale sila a va vin ranpli avèk dlo pou nou kab bwè; ni nou, ni bèf nou yo, ni bèt nou yo.
18 And this is small in the sight of the Lord. So, in addition, he will also deliver Moab into your hands.
Sa se sèlman yon tikras bagay nan zye SENYÈ a. Anplis, Li va livre Moabit yo nan men nou.
19 And you shall strike every fortified town and every elect city. And you shall cut down every fruitful tree. And you shall obstruct all the sources of water. And you shall cover every excellent field with stones.”
Konsa, nou va frape chak vil ki fòtifye e chak nan pi bèl vil yo, koupe mete atè tout bon pyebwa, bouche tout sous dlo e gate tout bon mòso tè avèk wòch yo.’”
20 Then it happened that, in the morning, when the sacrifices were usually to be offered, behold, water was arriving along the way of Idumea, and the land was filled with water.
Li te vin rive nan maten vè lè pou ofri sakrifis la, ke vwala, dlo te sòti vè direksyon Édom e peyi a te vin ranpli avèk dlo.
21 Then all the Moabites, hearing that the kings had ascended so that they might fight against them, gathered all who had been girded with a belt around them, and they stood at the borders.
Alò, tout Moabit yo te tande ke wa yo te monte pou goumen kont yo. Epi tout moun ki te kapab, te mete vètman pwotèj yo e sila avèk plis laj yo te resevwa lòd pou vin kanpe sou lizyè fwontyè a.
22 And rising up in early morning, and when the sun was now rising before the waters, the Moabites saw the waters opposite them, which were red like blood.
Yo te leve bonè nan maten, solèy la te vin klere sou dlo a, e Moabit yo te wè dlo anfas yo a wouj tankou san.
23 And they said: “It is the blood of the sword! The kings have fought among themselves, and they have slain one another. Go now, Moab, to the spoils!”
Konsa, yo te di: “Sa se san. Asireman, wa yo te goumen ansanm e youn te touye lòt. Pou sa, Moab, antre pran piyaj la!”
24 And they went into the camp of Israel. But Israel, rising up, struck Moab, and they fled before them. And since they had prevailed, they went and struck down Moab.
Men lè yo te rive nan kan Israël la, Izrayelit yo te leve e te frape Moabit yo jiskaske yo te kouri devan yo. Epi yo te avanse nan peyi a e te fè yon gwo masak pami Moabit yo.
25 And they destroyed the cities. And they filled up every excellent field, each one casting stones. And they obstructed all the sources of water. And they cut down all the fruitful trees, to such an extent that only brick walls remained. And the city was encircled by the slingers of stones. And a great part of it was struck down.
Konsa, yo te detwi vil yo, epi chak moun te jete yon wòch sou chak mòso bon tè pou te plen yo. Epi yo te bouche tout sous dlo yo e te koupe tout bon pyebwa yo, jis yo rive nan Kir-Haréseth kote se sèl wòch li yo ki rete. Men mesye fistibal yo te antoure li e te frape li.
26 And when the king of Moab had seen this, specifically, that the enemies had prevailed, he took with him seven hundred men who draw the sword, so that he might break through to the king of Idumea. But they were unable.
Lè wa Moab la te wè ke batay la te twò mechan pou li, li te pran avèk li sèt-san mesye ki te rale nepe pou ouvri yon pasaj pou rive kote wa Édom an; men yo pa t kapab.
27 And taking his firstborn son, who would have reigned in his place, he offered him as a holocaust upon the wall. And there was great indignation in Israel. And they promptly withdrew from him, and they turned back to their own land.
Alò, li te pran pi gran fis li a ki te gen pou renye nan plas li, e li te ofri li kòm yon ofrann brile sou mi lan. Epi te vin gen lakòlè byen cho kont Israël, e yo te kite li pou retounen nan peyi pa yo.
