1 Kings 19
1 And Ahab told Jezebel all that Elijah had done, and in detail how he had slain all the prophets with the sword.
Wa Akab rakonte Jezabèl, madanm li, tou sa Eli te fè, ki jan li te touye tout pwofèt Baal yo.
2 And Jezebel sent a messenger to Elijah saying, So do the gods [to me], and more also, if I make not thy life as the life of one of them by to-morrow about this time!
Jezabèl voye yon misyon bay Eli. Li voye di l': -Se ou, se mwen! Se pou bondye yo ban m' pi gwo pinisyon ki genyen si denmen lè konsa mwen pa fè ou tou sa ou te fè pwofèt yo.
3 And when he saw [that], he arose, and went for his life, and came to Beer-sheba, which belongs to Judah, and left his servant there.
Eli vin pè. Li kouri met deyò pou l' sove lavi li. Li pran domestik li avè l', l' ale lavil Bècheba nan peyi Jida. Li kite domestik li a la.
4 And he himself went a day's journey into the wilderness, and came and sat down under a certain broom-bush, and requested for himself that he might die; and said, It is enough: now, Jehovah, take my life; for I am not better than my fathers.
Eli menm mache tout yon jounen nan dezè a. Lè li rete, l' al chita anba lonbray yon ti pye bayawonn. Li mande lanmò, li di: -M' pa kapab ankò, Seyè! Pito m' mouri kont fini. M' pa pi bon pase zansèt mwen yo.
5 And he lay down and slept under the broom-bush. And behold, an angel touched him, and said to him, Arise, eat!
Li lage kò l' anba pye bayawonn lan. Dòmi pran l'. Antan l' nan dòmi an, yon zanj vin souke l', li di l' konsa: -Leve ou manje!
6 And he looked, and behold, at his head was a cake, baked on hot stones, and a cruse of water. And he ate and drank, and lay down again.
Eli voye je l' gade bò kote l', li wè yon ti pen plat tankou sa yo kwit sou chabon dife ak yon krich dlo bò tèt li. Li manje, li bwè. Lèfini, li kouche, li dòmi ankò.
7 And the angel of Jehovah came again the second time, and touched him, and said, Arise, eat; for the journey is too great for thee.
Zanj Seyè a tounen yon dezyèm fwa, li souke Eli, li leve l', li di l': -Leve ou manje, paske vwayaj la pral long anpil pou ou.
8 And he arose, and ate and drank, and went in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights to Horeb the mount of God.
Eli leve, li manje, li bwè. Manje a ba li kont fòs kouraj pou li mache pandan karant jou, karant nwit jouk li rive sou mòn Orèb, mòn Bondye a.
9 And there he went into a cave, and lodged there. And behold, the word of Jehovah [came] to him, and he said to him, What doest thou here, Elijah?
Lè li rive, li antre nan yon gwòt, li pase nwit lan la. Seyè a pale ak Eli ankò, li di li: -Eli, sa w'ap fè la a?
10 And he said, I have been very jealous for Jehovah the God of hosts; for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I am left, I alone, and they seek my life, to take it away.
Eli reponn: -Seyè, Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa, mwen renmen ou anpil, mwen pa ka wè sa pèp Izrayèl la ap fè ou la. Li pa kenbe kontra li te pase avè ou la, li kraze lotèl ou yo, li touye tout pwofèt ou yo. Se mwen menm sèl ki rete. Men y'ap chache touye m'.
11 And he said, Go forth, and stand upon the mount before Jehovah. And behold, Jehovah passed by, and a great and strong wind rent the mountains, and broke in pieces the rocks before Jehovah: Jehovah was not in the wind. And after the wind, an earthquake: Jehovah was not in the earthquake.
Seyè a di li: -Soti, vin kanpe devan Seyè a sou tèt mòn lan. M' pral pase! Seyè a vin ap pase. Yon gwo van vin leve, li pran vante byen fò, li fann mòn yo, li pete wòch yo devan Seyè a. Men Seyè a pa t' nan van an. Lè van an kase, tè a pran tranble, men Seyè a pa t' nan tranbleman tè a.
12 And after the earthquake, a fire: Jehovah was not in the fire. And after the fire, a soft gentle voice.
Lè tè a sispann tranble, te gen yon dife, men Seyè a pa t' nan dife a. Apre dife a, yon ti bri tou piti fèt, yon ti briz tou fèb vin ap soufle.
13 And it came to pass, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle, and went out, and stood in the entrance of the cave. And behold, a voice [came] to him and said, What doest thou here, Elijah?
Lè Eli tande l', li kouvri tèt li ak gwo rad li, li soti, li kanpe devan gwòt la. Li tande yon vwa ki di l': -Eli, sa w'ap fè isit la?
14 And he said, I have been very jealous for Jehovah the God of hosts; for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I am left, I alone, and they seek my life, to take it away.
Eli reponn: -Seyè, Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a, mwen renmen ou anpil, mwen pa ka wè sa pèp Izrayèl la ap fè ou la. Li pa kenbe kontra li te pase avè ou la. Li kraze lotèl ou yo. Li touye tout pwofèt ou yo. Se mwen menm sèl ki rete. Men y'ap chache touye m'.
15 And Jehovah said to him, Go, return on thy way to the wilderness of Damascus; and when thou comest, anoint Hazael king over Syria;
Seyè a di li: -Ale non! Pran menm wout ou te pase nan dezè a pou vini isit la, tounen lavil Damas. W'a antre lavil Damas, w'a pran Azayèl, w'a mete l' wa peyi Siri nan non mwen.
16 and Jehu the son of Nimshi shalt thou anoint king over Israel; and Elisha the son of Shaphat of Abel-meholah shalt thou anoint prophet in thy stead.
Apre sa, w'a ale lakay Jeou, pitit gason Nimchi a, w'a mete l' wa peyi Izrayèl nan non mwen. Lèfini, w'a pran Elize, pitit gason Chafat, moun lavil Abèl Meola a, w'a mete l' apa nan non mwen pou l' sèvi pwofèt nan plas ou.
17 And it shall come to pass, [that] him that escapeth the sword of Hazael shall Jehu slay; and him that escapeth the sword of Jehu shall Elisha slay.
Tout moun ki va chape anba men Azayèl va tonbe anba men Jeou. Tout moun ki va chape anba men Jeou va tonbe anba men Elize.
18 Yet I have left [myself] seven thousand in Israel, all the knees that have not bowed unto Baal, and every mouth that hath not kissed him.
Men m'ap kite sètmil (7.000) moun vivan nan peyi Izrayèl la. Se moun ki pa t' mete ajenou devan Baal pou sèvi li, ni ki pa t' bo estati li yo.
19 And he departed thence, and found Elisha the son of Shaphat, who was ploughing [with] twelve yokes before him, and he with the twelfth; and Elijah went over to him, and cast his mantle on him.
Eli pati. Li jwenn Elize, pitit gason Chafat la, ki t'ap raboure yon jaden avèk douz pè bèf. Elize t'ap raboure dènye pòsyon tè a ak douzyèm pè bèf la lè Eli pwoche bò kote l'. Eli wete gwo rad ki te sou li a, li voye l' sou Elize.
20 And he left the oxen, and ran after Elijah, and said, Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my mother, and I will follow thee. And he said to him, Go back again; for what have I done to thee?
Menm lè a, Elize kite bèf li yo, li kouri dèyè Eli. Li di l' konsa: -Kite m' al di manman m' ak papa m' orevwa anvan. Apre sa m'a swiv ou. Eli reponn li: -Ou mèt tounen tounen ou. M' pa rete ou, mwen menm! Kisa m' fè ou la a?
21 And he returned back from him, and took the yoke of oxen, and killed them, and boiled their flesh with the implements of the oxen, and gave to the people, and they ate. And he arose and went after Elijah, and ministered to him.
Elize kite Eli, li tounen tounen l', li pran yon pè bèf, li touye yo. Li pran bwa jouk yo, li limen dife, li kwit vyann lan. Li bay moun ki te avè l' yo pou yo manje. Lèfini, li pati al jwenn Eli, li rete avè l'.
