1 Kings 22
1 For three years Aram and Israel were not at war.
Twazan te pase san gen lagè antre Syrie avèk Israël.
2 But in the third year Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, went to visit the king of Israel.
Nan twazyèm ane Josaphat a, wa Juda a te desann kote wa Israël la.
3 The king of Israel had said to his officers, “Aren't you aware that Ramoth-gilead really belongs to us and yet we haven't done anything to take it back from the king of Aram?”
Alò, wa Israël la te di a sèvitè li yo: “Èske nou konnen ke Ramoth-Galaad apatyen a nou menm e jiska prezan, nou p ap fè anyen pou rache li nan men wa Syrie a.”
4 So he asked Jehoshaphat, “Will you join me in an attack to recapture Ramoth-gilead?” Jehoshaphat replied to the king of Israel, “You and I are as one, my men and your men are as one, and my horses and your horses are as one.”
Epi li te di a Josaphat: “Èske ou va ale avèk mwen nan batay a Ramoth-Galaad la?” Josaphat te di a wa Israël la: “Mwen tankou ou menm, pèp mwen an tankou pèp pa w la, cheval mwen yo tankou cheval pa ou yo.”
5 Then Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, “But first though, please find out what the Lord says.”
Anplis, Josaphat te di a wa Israël la: “Souple, fè demann premyèman selon pawòl SENYÈ a.”
6 So the king of Israel brought out the prophets—four hundred of them—and he asked them, “Should I go up and attack Ramoth-gilead, or should I not?” “Yes, go ahead,” they replied, “for the Lord will hand it over to the king.”
Alò wa Israël la te rasanble pwofèt yo ansanm, anviwon kat-san mesye. Li te di yo: “Èske mwen dwe ale kont Ramoth-Galaad nan batay la, oswa èske mwen dwe fè bak?” Yo te di: “Ale monte, paske SENYÈ a va bay li nan men a wa a.”
7 But Jehoshaphat asked, “Isn't there another prophet of the Lord here that we can ask?”
Men Josaphat te di: “Èske pa gen yon pwofèt SENYÈ a ki la pou nou kab mande li?”
8 “Yes, there's another man who could consult the Lord,” the king of Israel replied, “but I don't like him because he never prophesies anything good for me—it's always bad! His name is Micaiah, son of Imlah.” “You shouldn't talk like that,” said Jehoshaphat.
Wa Israël la te di a Josaphat: “Genyen toujou yon nonm pa sila nou kapab fè demann SENYÈ a, men mwen rayi li, akoz li pa pwofetize sa ki bon pou mwen, men sa ki mal. Michée, fis a Jimla a.” Men Josaphat te di: “Pa kite wa a di sa.”
9 The king of Israel called over one of his officials and told him, “Bring me Micaiah, son of Imlah, right away.”
Wa Israël la te rele yon ofisye e te di: “Mennen byen vit Michée, fis a Jimla a.”
10 Dressed in their royal robes, the king of Israel and King Jehoshaphat of Judah, were sitting on their thrones at the threshing floor beside the gate of Samaria, with all of the prophets prophesying in front of them.
Alò, wa Israël la avèk Josaphat, wa Juda a te chita chak sou pwòp twòn pa yo, abiye an wòb pa yo nan pòtay pou antre Samarie a, epi tout pwofèt yo t ap pwofetize devan yo.
11 One of them, Zedekiah, son of Chenaanah, had made himself iron horns. He announced, “This is what the Lord says: ‘With these horns you will gore the Arameans until they're dead!”
Alò Sédécias, fis a Kenaana a te fè kòn yo an fè pou kont li, e te di: “Konsa pale SENYÈ a: ‘Avèk sila yo, ou va frape Siryen yo jiskaske yo fin detwi.’”
12 All the prophets were prophesying the same thing, saying, “Go ahead, attack Ramoth-gilead; you will be successful, for the Lord will hand it over to the king.”
Tout pwofèt yo t ap pwofetize konsa e t ap di: “Ale monte Ramoth-Galaad e byen reyisi; paske SENYÈ a va mete li nan men wa a.”
13 The messenger who went to call Micaiah told him, “Look, all the prophets are unanimous in prophesying positively to the king. So please make sure to speak positively like them.”
Mesaje a ki te ale rele Michée te pale li. Li te di: “Koulye a, gade byen, tout pawòl a pwofèt yo favorab anvè wa a. Souple, kite pawòl ou yo fèt tankou pawòl a youn nan yo, e pale avèk favè.”
14 But Micaiah replied, “As the Lord lives, I can only say what my God tells me.”
Men Michée te di: “Jan SENYÈ a viv la, sa ke SENYÈ a pale mwen an, se sa mwen va pale.”
15 When he came before the king, the king asked him, “Should we go up and attack Ramoth-gilead, or should we not?” “Yes, go ahead and be victorious,” Micaiah replied, “for the Lord will give it into the king's hand.”
Lè li te vin kote wa a, wa a te di li: “Michée, èske nou dwe ale Ramoth-Galaad nan batay la, oswa èske nou dwe fè bak?” Konsa, li te reponn li: “Ale monte e byen reyisi e SENYÈ a va bay li nan men wa a.”
16 But the king said to him, “How many times must I make you swear to tell me only the truth in the name of the Lord?”
Alò, wa a te di li: “Konbyen de tan èske mwen oblije di ou pou pa pale anyen avè m sof ke laverite nan non SENYÈ a?”
17 So Micaiah answered, “I saw all Israel scattered on the mountains like sheep without a shepherd. The Lord said, ‘These people have no master; let each of them go home in peace.’”
Pou sa, li te di: “Mwen te wè tout Israël gaye sou mòn yo, tankou mouton ki san bèje. Konsa, SENYÈ a te di: ‘Sila yo pa gen mèt. Kite yo chak retounen lakay yo anpè.’”
18 The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “Didn't I tell you he never prophesies anything good for me, only bad?”
Epi wa Israël la te di a Josaphat: “Èske mwen pa t di ou ke li pa t ap fè bon pwofesi pou mwen, men pito move?”
19 Micaiah went on to say, “So listen to what the Lord says. I saw the Lord sitting on his throne, surrounded by the whole army of heaven standing to his right and to his left.
Michée te di: “Pou sa, tande pawòl SENYÈ a. Mwen te wè SENYÈ a te chita sou twòn Li e tout lame syèl la te kanpe akote Li adwat Li e agoch Li.
20 The Lord asked, ‘Who will trick Ahab, king of Israel, into attacking Ramoth-gilead so he will be killed there?’ One said this, another said that, and another said something else.
SENYÈ a te di: ‘Kilès k ap sedwi Achab pou ale monte e tonbe Ramoth-Galaad?’ Epi youn te di sesi e youn te di sela.”
21 Finally a spirit came and approached the Lord and said, ‘I will trick him.’
Alò, yon lespri te parèt devan SENYÈ a e te di: “Mwen va sedwi li.”
22 ‘How are you going to do that?’ the Lord asked. ‘I will go and be a lying spirit and make all his prophets tell lies,’ the spirit replied. ‘That will work,’ the Lord responded. ‘Go and do it.’
SENYÈ a te di li: “Kijan?” Epi li te reponn: “Mwen va sòti deyò pou devni yon lespri twonpè nan bouch a tout pwofèt li yo.” Epi Li te di: “Ou gen non sèlman pou sedwi li, men pou vin genyen li nèt. Ale fè sa.”
23 As you see, the Lord has put a lying spirit into these prophets of yours, and the Lord has pronounced your death sentence.”
“Alò, pou sa, gade byen, SENYÈ a te mete yon lespri twonpè nan bouch a tout pwofèt pa ou yo; epi SENYÈ a te pwoklame dega nèt kont ou.”
24 Then Zedekiah, son of Chenaanah, went and slapped Micaiah in the face, and demanded, “Which way did the Spirit of the Lord go when he left me to speak to you?”
Konsa, Sédécias, fis a Kenaana a te vin toupre e te frape Michée sou machwè li. Li te di: “Kijan lespri SENYÈ a te pase sòti nan mwen pou pale avèk ou?”
25 “You'll soon find out when you try and find some secret place to hide!” Micaiah replied.
Michée te di: “Gade byen, ou va wè sa nan jou lè ou antre nan yon chanm a lenteryè pou kache kò w.”
26 The king of Israel ordered, “Place Micaiah under arrest and take him back to Amon the governor of the city and to my son Joash.
Alò, wa Israël la te di: “Pran Michée e retounen li vè majistra lavil la ak Joas, fis a wa a,
27 Tell them these are the king's instructions: ‘Put this man in jail. Give him only bread and water until my safe return.’”
epi di li: ‘Konsa pale wa a: “Mete nonm sa a nan prizon a e bay li tikras pen ak dlo sèlman kòm manje jiskaske mwen retounen san mal pa rive m.”’”
28 “If you do in fact return safely then the Lord has not spoken through me,” Micaiah declared. “Pay attention everyone to all I've said!”
Michée te di: “Si ou, anverite, retounen san ke mal pa rive, SENYÈ a pa t fè m pale.” Epi li te di: “Koute, tout pèp nou an!”
29 The king of Israel and Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, went to attack Ramoth-gilead.
Konsa, wa Israël la avèk Josaphat, wa Juda a, te monte kont Ramoth-Galaad.
30 The king of Israel told Jehoshaphat, “When I go into battle I will be in disguise, but you should wear your royal robes.” So the king of Israel disguised himself and went into battle.
Wa Israël la te di a Josaphat: “Mwen va kache idantite mwen e antre nan batay la, men ou menm, mete vètman pa ou.” Konsa, wa Israël la te kache idantite li e te antre nan batay la.
31 The king of Aram had already given these orders to his chariot commanders: “Head straight for the king of Israel alone. Don't fight with anyone else, whoever they are.”
Alò, wa Syrie a te kòmande trann-de kapitèn a cha li yo. Li te di: “Pa goumen avèk piti ni gran, men sèlman avèk wa Israël la.”
32 So when the chariot commanders saw Jehoshaphat, they shouted, “This must be the king of Israel!” So they turned to attack him, but when Jehoshaphat called out for help,
Konsa, lè kapitèn a cha yo te wè Josaphat, yo te di: “Anverite, sa se wa Israël la,” epi yo te vire akote pou goumen kont li e Josaphat te kriye fò.
33 the chariot commanders saw it wasn't the king of Israel and stopped chasing him.
Lè kapitèn a cha yo te wè ke li pa t wa Israël la, yo te rale bak e te sispann swiv li.
34 However, an enemy archer shot an arrow at random, hitting the king of Israel between the joints of his armor by his breastplate. The king told his charioteer, “Turn around and get me out of the fight, because I've been wounded!”
Alò, yon sèten nonm te rale banza li pa aza e te frape wa Israël la. Flèch la te antre nan yon kwen nan vètman pwotèj la. Konsa, li te di chofè cha li a: “Retounen fè bak e retire mwen nan batay la, paske mwen blese byen sevè.”
35 The battle lasted all day. The king of Israel was propped up in his chariot to face the Arameans, but in the evening he died. The blood had poured out of his wound onto the floor of the chariot.
Batay la te boule rèd pandan jou sa a. Yo te soutni wa a pou l kanpe nan cha li devan Siryen yo, e nan leswa a, li te mouri. San a te soti nan blesi a pou l antre nan enteryè cha a.
36 At sunset, a shout went out from the lines: “Retreat! Every man back to his town, every man back to his own country!”
Epi yon kri te sòti toupatou nan lame a nan lè solèy kouche a. Yo te di: “Chak moun rive nan vil li, e chak mesye nan pwòp peyi pa l.”
37 So the king died. He was taken back to Samaria where they buried him.
Konsa, wa a te mouri. Yo te mennen l Samarie, epi yo te antere wa a Samarie.
38 They washed his chariot at a pool in Samaria where the prostitutes came to bathe, and dogs licked up his blood, just as the Lord had said.
Yo te lave cha a akote sous dlo Samarie a, e chen yo te niche san li nan kote pwostitiye yo te konn benyen, selon pawòl SENYÈ a te pale a.
39 The rest of what happened in Ahab's reign, all that he did, the ivory palace he constructed and all the cities he built are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.
Alò, tout lòt zèv a Achab yo avèk tout sa ke li te fè ak kay ivwa ke li te konstwi a ak tout vil ke li te bati yo, èske yo pa ekri nan Liv Kwonik a Wa Israël yo?
40 Ahab died and his son Ahaziah succeeded him as king.
Konsa, Achab te dòmi avèk zansèt pa li yo, e Achazia, fis li a, te devni wa nan plas li.
41 Jehoshaphat, son of Asa, became king of Judah in the fourth year of the reign of Ahab, king of Israel.
Alò Josaphat, fis Asa a, te devni wa sou Juda nan Katriyèm ane Achab, wa Israël la.
42 Jehoshaphat was thirty-five when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for twenty-five years. His mother's name was Azubah, daughter of Shilhi.
Josaphat te gen trann-senk ane lè li te devni wa, e li te renye pandan venn-senk ane Jérusalem. Epi non manman li se te Azuba, fi a Schilchi a.
43 He followed all the ways of his father; he did not depart from them, and he did what was right in the Lord's sight. However, the high places were not removed and the people still sacrificed and presented offerings there.
Li te mache nan chemen Asa, papa li. Li pa t vire akote e li te fè sa ki te dwat nan zye SENYÈ a. Sepandan, wo plas yo pa t retire. Pèp la te toujou fè sakrifis e te brile lansan sou wo plas yo.
44 Jehoshaphat also made peace with the king of Israel.
Josaphat osi te fè lapè avèk wa Israël la.
45 The rest of what happened in Jehoshaphat's reign, his great achievements and the wars he fought are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Judah.
Alò, tout lòt zèv a Josaphat yo, avèk pwisans ke li te montre ak jan li te fè lagè, èske yo pa ekri nan liv Kwonik a Wa a Juda yo?
46 He expelled from the land any cult prostitutes who were left from the time of his father Asa.
Retay a sadomit ki te rete nan jou papa li yo, Asa, li te fè ekzile yo sòti nan peyi a.
47 (At that time there was no king in Edom; only a deputy who served as king.)
Alò, pa t gen wa nan Édom. Se yon depite ki te wa.
48 Jehoshaphat built sea-going ships to go to Ophir for gold, but they went because they were wrecked at Ezion-geber.
Josaphat te fè bato a Tarsis yo vwayaje a Ophir pou lò, men yo pa t rive, paske bato yo te kraze kote Etsjon-Guéber.
49 During that time Ahaziah, son of Ahab, asked Jehoshaphat, “Let my men sail with your men,” but Jehoshaphat refused.
Alò, Achazia, fis Achab la, te di a Josaphat: “Kite sèvitè mwen yo ale avèk sèvitè ou yo nan bato yo.” Men Josaphat pa t dakò.
50 Jehoshaphat died and was buried with his forefathers in the City of David. His son Jehoram succeeded him as king.
Konsa, Josaphat te dòmi avèk zansèt pa li yo e te antere avèk zansèt li yo nan vil a papa li a, David e Joram, fis li a, te renye nan plas li.
51 Ahaziah, son of Ahab, became king of Israel in Samaria in the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, and he reigned over Israel for two years.
Achazia, fis a Achab la te devni wa nan plas li.
52 He did what was evil in the Lord's sight and followed the ways of his father and mother, and of Jeroboam, son of Nebat, who had made Israel sin.
Li te fè mal nan zye SENYÈ a e li te mache nan chemen papa li, nan chemen manman l ak nan chemen Jéroboam, fis a Nebath la, ki te fè Israël peche a.
53 He served Baal and worshiped him, and angered the Lord, the God of Israel, just as his father had.
Konsa, li te sèvi Baal, li te adore li e te pwovoke SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la, a lakòlè, selon tout sa ke papa li te konn fè yo.
