2 Chronicles 18
1 And Jehoshaphat had riches and honour in abundance; and he allied himself with Ahab by marriage.
Alò Josaphat te gen gwo richès avèk lonè; epi li te fè alyans avèk Achab pa maryaj.
2 And after [certain] years he went down to Ahab, to Samaria. And Ahab killed sheep and oxen for him in abundance, and for the people that were with him, and urged him to go up against Ramoth-Gilead.
Kèk ane pita, li te desann kote Achab Samarie. Konsa, Achab te touye anpil mouton avèk bèf pou li avèk moun ki te avèk li yo, e li te konvenk li monte kont Ramoth-Galaad.
3 And Ahab king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat king of Judah, Wilt thou go with me to Ramoth-Gilead? And he said to him, I am as thou, and my people as thy people; and [I will be] with thee in the war.
Achab, wa Israël la, te di a Josaphat, wa Juda a: “Èske ou va monte avèk mwen kont Ramoth-Galaad?” Konsa, li te di li: “Mwen tankou ou menm e pèp mwen an tankou pèp pa w la, nou avèk ou nan batay la.”
4 And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, Inquire, I pray thee, this day of the word of Jehovah.
Anplis, Josaphat te di a wa Israël la: “Souple, fè ankèt avan pou pawòl SENYÈ a.”
5 And the king of Israel assembled the prophets, four hundred men, and said to them, Shall we go against Ramoth-Gilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up, and God will give it into the king's hand.
Epi wa Israël la te rasanble tout pwofèt yo, kat-san mesye. Li te di yo: “Èske nou dwe monte kont Ramoth-Galaad pou batay, oswa èske mwen dwe fè bak?” Epi yo te reponn: “Ale monte, paske Bondye va livre li nan men a wa a.”
6 But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of Jehovah besides, that we might inquire of him?
Men Josaphat te di: “Èske pa gen toujou yon pwofèt SENYÈ a pou nou kab mande sa?”
7 And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man by whom we may inquire of Jehovah; but I hate him, for he prophesies no good concerning me, but always evil: [it is] Micah the son of Imlah. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.
Wa Israël la te di a Josaphat: “Gen youn toujou ke nou kab fè demann a SENYÈ a, men mwen rayi li, paske li pa janm pwofetize sa ki bon pou mwen, men toujou, mal. Li se Michée, fis Jimla a.” Men Josaphat te di: “Pa kite wa a pale konsa.”
8 Then the king of Israel called a chamberlain, and said, Fetch quickly Micah the son of Imlah.
Konsa, wa Israël la te rele yon ofisye e te di: “Fè vit, mennen Michée, fis Jimla a.”
9 And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, having put on their robes, sat each on his throne; and they sat in an open place at the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets prophesied before them.
Alò, wa Israël la avèk Josaphat, wa Juda a te chita yo chak sou twòn yo, abiye ak manto yo. Yo te chita kote glasi vannen an nan antre pòtay Samarie a, epi tout pwofèt yo t ap pwofetize devan yo.
10 And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah made for himself horns of iron, and he said, Thus saith Jehovah: With these shalt thou push the Syrians, until thou have exterminated them.
Sédécias, fis a Kenaana a, te fè kòn an fè pou kont li. Li te di: “Konsa pale SENYÈ a, ‘Avèk sila yo, ou va frennen Siryen yo, jiskaske yo fin detwi nèt.’”
11 And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramoth-Gilead, and prosper; for Jehovah will give it into the king's hand.
Tout pwofèt yo t ap pwofetize konsa. Yo t ap di: “Ale monte Ramoth-Galaad e reyisi, paske SENYÈ a va livre li nan men a wa a.”
12 And the messenger that went to call Micah spoke to him saying, Behold, the words of the prophets [declare] good to the king with one assent: let thy word therefore, I pray thee, be like one of theirs, and declare good.
Konsa, mesaje ki te ale fè demand prezans Michée a te pale avèk li. Li te di: “Gade byen, pawòl a pwofèt yo favorab nèt pou wa a. Konsa, souple, kite pawòl ou fèt tankou pa yo a e pale anfavè li.”
13 And Micah said, As Jehovah liveth, even what my God shall say, that will I declare.
Men Michée te di: “Jan SENYÈ a viv la, sa ke Bondye mwen an di, se sa mwen va pale.”
14 And he came to the king. And the king said to him, Micah, shall we go against Ramoth-Gilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And he said, Go ye up, and prosper; and they will be given into your hands.
Lè li te rive kote wa a, wa a te di li: “Michée, èske nou dwe monte Ramoth-Galaad pou batay la, oswa èske mwen dwe fè bak?” Li te di: “Ale monte e reyisi, paske yo va livre nan men ou.”
15 And the king said to him, How many times shall I adjure thee that thou tell me nothing but truth in the name of Jehovah?
Epi wa a te di li: “Konbyen fwa mwen oblije fè demann ke ou pa pale anyen sof ke laverite nan non SENYÈ a?”
16 And he said, I saw all Israel scattered upon the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd. And Jehovah said, These have no master: let them return every man to his house in peace.
Konsa, li te reponn: “Mwen te wè tout Israël gaye sou mòn yo tankou mouton ki pa t gen bèje. Konsa, SENYÈ a te di: ‘Sila yo pa gen mèt. Kite yo chak retounen lakay yo anpè.’”
17 And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee that he prophesies no good concerning me, but evil?
Wa Israël la te di a Josaphat: “Èske mwen pa t di ou ke li pa t pwofetize sa ki bon pou mwen, men sa ki mal?”
18 And he said, Hear ye therefore the word of Jehovah: I saw Jehovah sitting upon his throne, and all the host of heaven standing on his right hand and on his left;
Michée te di: “Pou sa, tande pawòl SENYÈ a: Mwen te wè SENYÈ a ki te chita sou twòn li an ak tout lame syèl la ki te kanpe adwat Li ak agoch Li.
19 and Jehovah said, Who shall entice Ahab king of Israel that he may go up and fall at Ramoth-Gilead? And one spoke saying after this manner, and another saying after that manner.
SENYÈ a te di: ‘Kilès k ap sedwi Achab, wa Israël la, pou monte tonbe Ramoth-Galaad?’ Epi youn te di sa, pandan yon lòt te di yon lòt bagay.
20 And there came forth a spirit, and stood before Jehovah and said, I will entice him. And Jehovah said unto him, Wherewith?
Alò, yon lespri te parèt e te kanpe devan SENYÈ a. Li te di: Mwen va sedwi li.’” “Epi SENYÈ a te di: ‘Kijan’?
21 And he said, I will go forth, and will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Thou shalt entice [him], and also succeed: go forth, and do so.
“Li te reponn: ‘Mwen va ale fè l tankou yon lespri manti nan bouch a tout pwofèt li yo.’ “Epi Li te di: ‘Ou dwe sedwi li e genyen li tou. Ale fè sa.’
22 And now, behold, Jehovah has put a lying spirit in the mouth of these thy prophets; and Jehovah has spoken evil concerning thee.
“Alò, pou sa, gade byen, SENYÈ a te mete yon lespri manti nan bouch a sila yo, pwofèt ou yo, paske SENYÈ a te pwoklame dega kont ou.”
23 Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah went near, and smote Micah upon the cheek, and said, Which way now went the Spirit of Jehovah from me to speak to thee?
Konsa, Sédécias, fis a Kenaana a, te pwoche. Li te frape Michée sou machwè l e te di: “Ki kote chemen Lespri SENYÈ a te fè kite mwen pou pale avè w?”
24 And Micah said, Behold, thou shalt see on that day when thou shalt go from chamber to chamber to hide thyself.
Michée te di: “Gade byen, nan jou ke ou antre nan chanm anndan pou kache kò ou la, ou va wè sa.”
25 And the king of Israel said, Take ye Micah, and carry him back to Amon the governor of the city, and to Joash the king's son;
Alò, wa Israël la te di: “Pran Michée e fè l retounen kote Amon, majistra vil la ak Joas, fis a wa a.
26 and ye shall say, Thus says the king: Put this [man] in the prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and with water of affliction, until I return in peace.
Di yo: ‘Konsa pale wa a: “Mete nonm sila a nan prizon a, e ba li tikras pen ak dlo jiskaske m retounen anpè.”’”
27 And Micah said, If thou return at all in peace, Jehovah has not spoken by me. And he said, Hearken, O peoples, all of you!
Michée te di: “Si, anverite, ou ta retounen anpè, SENYÈ a pa t vrèman pale avèk mwen.” Li te di: “Koute byen, tout pèp yo!”
28 And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramoth-Gilead.
Konsa, wa Israël avèk Josaphat, wa Juda a, te monte kont Ramoth-Galaad.
29 And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, I will disguise myself, and will enter into the battle; but put thou on thy robes. And the king of Israel disguised himself; and they went into the battle.
Wa Israël la te di a Josaphat: “Mwen va kache idantite mwen pou antre nan batay la, e ou menm, mete pwòp manto ou.” Konsa, wa Israël la te kache idantite li, e yo te antre nan batay la.
30 And the king of Syria commanded the captains of his chariots saying, Fight neither with small nor great, but with the king of Israel only.
Alò, wa Syrie a te kòmande chèf a cha li yo. Li te di: “Pa goumen avèk piti ni gran, men avèk wa Israël la sèlman.”
31 And it came to pass when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, That is the king of Israel; and they surrounded him to fight; and Jehoshaphat cried out, and Jehovah helped him; and God diverted them from him.
Pou sa, lè chèf a cha yo te wè Josaphat, yo te di: “Li se wa Israël la,” e yo te vire akote pou goumen kont li. Men Josaphat te kriye anmwey, e SENYÈ a te fè l sekou. Bondye te angaje yo pou yo te kite l.
32 And it came to pass that when the captains of the chariots perceived that it was not the king of Israel, they turned back from pursuing him.
Lè chèf cha yo te wè ke se pa t wa Israël la, yo te retounen pa swiv li.
33 And a man drew a bow at a venture, and smote the king of Israel between the fastenings and the corslet. And he said to the charioteer, Turn thy hand and drive me out of the camp; for I am wounded.
Yon sèten nonm te rale banza li pa aza, e te frape wa Israël la nan yon kwen nan pwotèj kò a. Konsa, li te pale a chofè cha a: “Vire tounen e fè m sòti nan batay la, paske mwen blese byen grav.”
34 And the battle increased that day; and the king of Israel stayed himself up in his chariot against the Syrians until the even; and about the time of the going down of the sun he died.
Batay la te chofe byen rèd tout jounen an e wa Israël te fòse pou l te kab kanpe nan cha li a devan Siryen yo jis rive nan aswè; epi nan kouche solèy la, li te mouri.
