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.
Alò, Achab te di Jizréel tout sa ke Élie te fè ak jan li te touye tout pwofèt yo avèk nepe.
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!
Epi Jizréel te voye yon mesaje kote Élie. Li te di: “Konsa ke dye yo fè m sa e menm plis si mwen pa fè lavi ou tankou youn nan sa yo avan demen vè menm lè sa a.”
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.
Epi Élie te vin pè, e li te leve kouri pou sove lavi li. Li te rive nan Beer-Schéba, ki pou Juda a, e li te kite sèvitè 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.
Men li menm te vwayaje pandan yon jou antre nan dezè a, pou l te rive chita anba yon bwa pikan. Konsa, li te fè demann pou l ta mouri e te di: “Sa se kont! Koulye a, O SENYÈ, pran lavi mwen; paske mwen pa pi bon ke 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 te kouche dòmi anba bwa pikan an. Epi vwala, te gen yon zanj ki touche li. Li te di: “Leve, 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.
Li te gade, e vwala, te gen bò tèt li yon gato pen wòch cho, ak yon veso dlo. Konsa, li te manje, bwè e te kouche 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 Bondye a te vini ankò yon dezyèm fwa, li te touche li e te di: “Leve, manje, paske vwayaj la twò gran 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.
Konsa, li te leve. Li te manje e bwè, epi li te ale ak fòs manje sa a pandan karant jou ak karant nwit pou rive Horeb, 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?
Alò, li te rive la nan yon kav e li te rete ladann. Epi vwala, pawòl Bondye a te vini sou li, e Li te di li: “Kisa w ap fè isit la, Élie?”
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.
Li te di: “Mwen te tèlman ranpli avèk zèl pou SENYÈ a, Bondye dèzame yo, pwiske fis Israël yo te abandone akò Ou a, yo te dechire lotèl Ou yo, e te touye pwofèt Ou yo avèk nepe. Epi se mwen sèl ki rete, e y ap chache lavi m pou pran l.”
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.
Pou sa, Li te di: “Ale kanpe sou mòn nan devan SENYÈ a.” Epi veye byen, SENYÈ a t ap pase! Yon gwo van fò t ap boulvèse mòn yo e t ap chire wòch yo an mòso devan SENYÈ a. Men SENYÈ a pa t nan van an. Epi apre van an, yon tranbleman detè, men SENYÈ a pa t nan tranbleman detè a.
12 And after the earthquake, a fire: Jehovah was not in the fire. And after the fire, a soft gentle voice.
Apre van an yon dife, men SENYÈ a pa t nan dife a. Epi apre dife a, yon ti bwi tankou yon souf lejè.
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 Élie te tande l, li te fin vlope figi li nan manto li a e li te ale deyò nan antre kav la. Epi vwala, yon vwa te parèt a li menm e te di: “Kisa w ap fè isit la, Élie?”
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.
Epi li te di: “Mwen te tèlman ranpli avèk zèl pou SENYÈ a, Bondye dèzame yo, paske fis Israël yo te abandone akò Ou a, dechire lotèl Ou yo e te touye pwofèt Ou yo avèk nepe. Epi se mwen sèl ki rete; epi y ap chache lavi mwen pou pran l.”
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;
SENYÈ a te di li: “Ale, retounen sou chemen ou vè dezè Damas la, e lè ou fin rive, ou va onksyone Hazaël wa sou Syrie;
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.
epi Jéhu, fis Nimschi a, ou va onksyone wa sou Israël; epi Élisée, fis a Schaphath a nan Abel-Mehola a, ou va onksyone li kòm 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.
Li va vin rive ke sila ki chape anba nepe Hazaël la, Jéhu va mete l a lanmò e sila ki chape anba nepe a Jéhu a, Élisée va mete l a lanmò.
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.
Sepandan, Mwen va kite sèt-mil an Israël, tout jenou ki pa t bese a Baal e tout bouch ki pa t konn bo li.”
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.
Konsa, li te kite la e te twouve Élisée, fis a Schaphath la, pandan li t ap raboure avèk douz pè bèf devan li, li menm avèk douzyèm nan. Epi Élie te pase bò kote li e te jete manto li sou li.
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?
Li te kite bèf yo e te kouri dèyè Élie. Li te di: “Souple, kite m bo papa m avèk manman m e mwen va swiv ou.” Epi li te di li: “Ale, retounen, paske kisa ke m te fè ou?”
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.
Konsa, li te retounen soti swiv li, li te pran pè bèf la e li te fè sakrifis avèk yo, li te bouyi chè avèk dife fèt ak zouti bèf e li te bay a pèp la pou yo te manje. Epi li te leve, li te swiv Élie pou te sèvi li.
