1 Kings 20
1 Then Ben-hadad the King of Aram assembled all his armie, and two and thirtie Kings with him, with horses, and charets, and went vp and besieged Samaria, and fought against it.
Alò, Ben-Hadad, wa Syrie a, te ranmase tout lame li a. Te gen trann-de wa avèk li, avèk cheval ak cha. Li te monte fè syèj sou Samarie e li te goumen kont li.
2 And he sent messengers to Ahab King of Israel, into the citie,
Li te voye mesaje yo lavil Achab, wa Israël la, e yo te di li: “Konsa pale Ben-Hadad;
3 And sayd vnto him, Thus sayth Ben-hadad, Thy siluer and thy golde is mine: also thy women, and thy fayre children are mine.
‘Ajan ou avèk lò ou se pou mwen. Pi bèl madanm ou yo avèk pitit yo se pa m tou.’”
4 And the King of Israel answered, and sayd, My lord King, according to thy saying, I am thine, and all that I haue.
Wa Israël la te reponn: “Se jan pawòl ou yo ye a, mèt mwen, O wa a. Mwen se pa w ak tout sa ke m genyen.”
5 And when the messengers came againe, they said, Thus commandeth Ben-hadad, and saith, When I shall send vnto thee, and command, thou shalt deliuer me thy siluer and thy golde, and thy women, and thy children,
Alò, mesaje yo te retounen. Yo te di: “Konsa pale Ben-Hadad: ‘Anverite, mwen te voye kote ou pou te di: “Ou va ban mwen ajan ou avèk lò ou avèk madanm ou ak pitit ou yo,
6 Or els I will sende my seruants vnto thee by to morow this time: and they shall search thine house, and the houses of thy seruants: and whatsoeuer is pleasant in thine eyes, they shall take it in their handes, and bring it away.
men vè lè sa a demen mwen va voye sèvitè mwen yo kote ou. Yo va chache fouye tout lakay ou avèk lakay sèvitè ou yo, epi nenpòt sa ki gen valè nan zye ou, y ap pran nan men yo pou pote ale.”’”
7 Then the King of Israel sent for all the Elders of the land, and sayd, Take heede, I pray you, and see how he seeketh mischiefe: for he sent vnto me for my wiues, and for my children, and for my siluer, and for my golde, and I denyed him not.
Epi wa Israël la te rele tout ansyen peyi a e te di: “Souple, gade byen jan mesye sila a ap chache pwoblèm. Li te voye kote mwen pou madanm mwen avèk pitit mwen yo ak ajan mwen avèk lò mwen, epi mwen pa t refize li.”
8 And all the Elders, and all the people sayd to him, Hearken not vnto him, nor consent.
Tout ansyen yo avèk tout pèp la te di li: “Pa koute l ni vin dakò avè l.”
9 Wherefore hee sayde vnto the messengers of Ben-hadad, Tell my lorde the King, All that thou didddest sende for to thy seruant at the first time, that I will doe, but this thing I may not do. And the messengers departed, and brought him an answere.
Konsa, li te di a mesaje Ben-Hadad yo: “Di mèt mwen an, wa a, ‘Tout sa ke ou te premye mande sèvitè ou a, m ap fè yo. Men sila ou mande koulye a, mwen p ap kab fè l.’” Mesaje yo te pati, epi te pòte bay li mesaj la.
10 And Ben-hadad sent vnto him, and sayde, The gods do so to me and more also, if the dust of Samaria be ynough to all the people that follow me, for euery man an handfull.
Ben-Hadad te voye kote li e te di: “Ke dye yo ta fè m sa e menm plis, si pousyè Samarie rete kont pou ranpli men a moun ki swiv mwen yo.”
11 And the King of Israel answered, and sayd, Tell him, Let not him that girdeth his harneis, boast himselfe, as he that putteth it off.
Epi wa Israël la te reponn li: “Pa kite sila k ap fenk abiye ak boukliye a vante tèt li tankou sila k ap retire l la.”
12 And when he heard that tidings, as he was with the Kings drinking in the pauilions, he sayd vnto his seruants, Bring forth your engines, and they set them against the citie.
Lè Ben-Hadad te tande mesaj sila a, pandan li t ap bwè avèk wa yo nan tonèl pwovizwa pa yo, li te di a sèvitè li yo: “Pran plas nou”. Konsa, yo te pran plas yo kont vil la.
13 And beholde, there came a Prophet vnto Ahab King of Israel, saying, Thus sayeth the Lord, Hast thou seene all this great multitude? beholde, I will deliuer it into thine hande this day, that thou mayest knowe, that I am the Lord.
Alò, lapoula, yon pwofèt te pwoche Achab, wa Israël la, e te di: “Konsa pale SENYÈ a, ‘Èske ou te wè tout gran kantite foul sila a? Veye byen, Mwen va livre yo nan men ou jodi a e ou va konnen ke se SENYÈ a Mwen ye.’”
14 And Ahab sayd, By whome? And he sayde, Thus sayth the Lord, By the seruants of the princes of the prouinces. He sayde againe, Who shall order the battel? And he answered, Thou.
Epi Achab te di: “Pa kilès?” Epi li te di: “Pa jennonm ki se chèf a pwovens yo.” Epi Achab te di: “Se kilès ki pou louvri batay la?” Epi li te reponn: “Ou menm”.
15 Then he nombred the seruantes of the princes of the prouinces, and they were two hundreth, two and thirtie: and after them he nombred the whole people of all the children of Israel, euen seuen thousand.
Alò, li te rasanble jennonm a chèf pwovens yo, te gen de-san-trann-de. Apre yo, li te rasanble tout pèp la; menm tout fis Israël yo, sèt-mil.
16 And they went out at noone: but Ben-hadad did drinke till he was drunken in the tentes, both he and the Kings: for two and thirtie Kings helped him.
Yo te sòti a midi, pandan Ben-Hadad t ap bwè jiskaske li sou nan tonèl pwovizwa avèk trann-de wa ki te ede li yo.
17 So the seruants of the princes of the prouinces went out first: and Ben-hadad sent out, and they shewed him, saying, There are men come out of Samaria.
Jennonm a chèf pwovens yo te sòti devan. Ben-Hadad te voye mesaje deyò, yo te pale li, e te di: “Moun yo gen tan parèt sòti Samarie.”
18 And he sayde, Whether they be come out for peace, take them aliue: or whether they bee come out to fight, take them yet aliue.
Alò, li te di: “Si yo sòti pou fè lapè, pran yo vivan; oswa si yo te sòti pou fè lagè, pran yo vivan.”
19 So they came out of the citie, to wit, the seruants of the princes of the prouinces, and the hoste which followed them.
Men sa yo te sòti depi lavil la; jennonm a chèf pwovens yo ak lame ki te swiv yo.
20 And they slew euery one his enemie: and the Aramites fled, and Israel pursued them: but Ben-hadad ye King of Aram escaped on an horse with his horsemen.
Chak moun te touye yon nonm pou kont li; epi Siryen yo te sove ale e wa Israël la te kouri dèyè yo e Ben-Hadad, wa Syrie a, te chape sou yon cheval avèk chevalye yo.
21 And the King of Israel went out, and smote the horses and charets, and with a great slaughter slew he the Aramites.
Wa Israël la te parèt deyò, li te frape cheval yo avèk cha yo e te touye Siryen yo nan yon gwo masak.
22 (For there had come a Prophet to the King of Israel, and had sayd vnto him, Goe, be of good courage, and consider, and take heede what thou doest: for when the yeere is gone about, the King of Aram wil come vp against thee)
Alò, pwofèt la te pwoche wa Israël la e te di li: “Ale, ranfòse ou menm e okipe pou wè sa ou gen pou fè; paske nan fen ane a, wa a Syrie va vin monte kont ou.”
23 Then the seruants of the King of Aram said vnto him, Their gods are gods of the moutaines, and therefore they ouercame vs: but let vs fight against them in the playne, and doubtlesse we shall ouercome them.
Alò, sèvitè a wa Syrie a te di li: “dye pa yo se dye mòn yo ye. Pou sa, yo te pi fò pase nou. Men pito ke nou fè lagè kont yo nan ba plèn nan e asireman, nou va vin pi fò pase yo.
24 And this doe, Take the Kings away, euery one out of his place, and place captaines for them.
Fè bagay sa a: retire chak wa sou plas yo e ranplase yo avèk kapitèn nan plas yo,
25 And nomber thy selfe an armie, like the armie that thou hast lost, with such horses, and such charets, and we wil fight against them in the plaine, and doubtlesse we shall ouercome them: and he hearkened vnto their voyce, and did so.
epi rasanble yon lame tankou lame ke ou te pèdi a, cheval pou cheval e cha pou cha. Nou va goumen kont yo nan plèn nan e asireman, nou va pi fò pase yo.” Epi li te koute vwa yo e te fè l konsa.
26 And after the yeere was gone about, Ben-hadad nombred the Aramites, and went vp to Aphek to fight against Israel.
Nan fen ane a, Ben-Hadad te ranmase Siryen yo e te monte nan Aphek pou goumen kont Israël.
27 And the children of Israel were nombred, and were all assembled and went against them, and the children of Israel pitched before them, like two litle flockes of kiddes: but the Aramites filled the countrey.
Fis Israël yo te deja rasanble avèk tout pwovizyon yo pou te ale rankontre yo. Yo te fè kan devan Siryen yo tankou de ti bann kabrit, men Siryen yo te ranpli peyi a.
28 And there came a man of God, and spake vnto the King of Israel, saying, Thus sayeth the Lord, Because the Aramites haue sayd, The Lord is the God of the mountaines, and not God of the valleis, therefore will I deliuer all this great multitude into thine hand, and ye shall know that I am the Lord.
Alò, yon nonm Bondye te vin toupre pou te pale a wa Israël la. Li te di: “Konsa pale SENYÈ a: ‘Akoz Siryen yo te di: “SENYÈ a se yon dye a mòn yo, men Li pa yon dye nan vale yo,” pou sa, mwen va bay tout vast kantite moun sa yo nan men ou e ou va konnen ke Mwen se SENYÈ a.’”
29 And they pitched one ouer against the other seuen dayes, and in the seuenth day the battel was ioyned: and the children of Israel slew of the Aramites an hundreth thousand footemen in one day.
Konsa, yo te fè kan an, youn kont lòt, pandan sèt jou. Epi nan setyèm jou a, batay la te ouvri e fis Israël yo te touye nan Siryen yo san-mil sòlda apye nan yon sèl jou.
30 But the rest fled to Aphek into the citie: and there fel a wall vpon seuen and twentie thousand men that were left: and Ben-hadad fled into the citie, and came into a secret chamber.
Men tout moun ki te rete yo te sove ale antre nan lavil Aphek e miray la te tonbe sou venn-sèt-mil òm ki te rete. Epi Ben-Hadad te sove ale pou te rive anndan vil la nan yon chanm enteryè.
31 And his seruants sayd vnto him, Beholde nowe, we haue heard say that the Kings of the house of Israel are mercifull Kings: we pray thee, let vs put sacke cloth about our loynes, and ropes about our heads, and goe out to the King of Israel: it may be that he will saue thy life.
Sèvitè li yo te di li: “Alò, gade byen, nou konn tande ke wa lakay Israël yo se wa ki gen mizerikòd. Souple, annou mete twal sak sou senti nou avèk kòd sou tèt nou pou ale parèt kote wa Israël la. Petèt, li va sove lavi nou.”
32 Then they gyrded sackecloth about their loynes, and put ropes about their heads, and came to the King of Israel, and sayd, Thy seruant Ben-hadad sayth, I pray thee, let me liue: and he sayd, Is he yet aliue? he is my brother.
Konsa, yo te mare twal sak sou senti yo, avèk kòd sou tèt yo pou te vin kote wa Israël la e te di: “Sèvitè ou, Ben-Hadad voye di: ‘Souple, kite mwen viv.’” Epi li te di: “Èske li toujou vivan? Li se frè m.”
33 Now the men tooke diliget heede, if they could catch any thing of him, and made haste, and sayd, Thy brother Ben-hadad. And he sayd, Go, bring him. So Ben-hadad came out vnto him, and he caused him to come vp vnto the chariot.
Alò mesye yo te pran sa kòm yon sign, yo te sezi sou pawòl la vit, e yo te di: “Frè ou, Ben-Hadad.” Epi li te di: “Ale, mennen li.” Alò, Ben-Hadad te vin deyò kote li e li te pran li monte nan cha a.
34 And Ben-hadad sayd vnto him, The cities, which my father tooke from thy father, I wil restore, and thou shalt make streetes for thee in Damascus, as my father did in Samaria. Then said Ahab, I will let thee goe with this couenant. So he made a couenant with him, and let him goe.
Ben-Hadad te di li: “Vil ke papa m te pran nan men papa ou yo, mwen va remèt yo e ou va fè ri yo pou ou menm nan Damas, tankou papa m te fè nan Samarie a.” Achab te di: “Epi mwen va kite ou ale avèk akò sila a.” Konsa, li te fè yon akò avèk li e te kite li ale.
35 Then a certaine man of the children of the Prophets sayd vnto his neighbour by the comandement of the Lord, Smite me, I pray thee. But the man refused to smite him.
Alò, yon sèten nonm pami fis a pwofèt yo te di a yon lòt mesye pa pawòl SENYÈ a: “Souple, frape mwen.” Men mesye a te refize frape li.
36 Then sayd he vnto him, Because thou hast not obeyed the voyce of the Lord, beholde, as soone as thou art departed from me, a lyon shall slay thee. So when he was departed from him, a lyon found him and slew him.
Epi li te di li: “Akoz ou pa t koute vwa SENYÈ a, tande byen, depi ou kite mwen, yon lyon va touye ou.” Epi depi li te kite li a, yon lyon te twouve li e te touye li.
37 Then he founde another man, and sayde, Smite mee, I pray thee. And the man smote him, and in smiting wounded him.
Alò, li te twouve yon lòt mesye e te di: “Souple, frape mwen.” Epi mesye a te frape li e te blese li.
38 So the Prophet departed, and wayted for the King by the way, and disguised himselfe with ashes vpon his face.
Konsa, pwofèt la te pati e te tann wa a akote chemen an e li te kache idantite li avèk yon bandaj ki te kouvri zye li.
39 And when the King came by, he cried vnto the King, and said, Thy seruant went into the middes of the battel: and beholde, there went away a man, whom another man brought vnto me, and sayd, Keepe this man: if he be lost, and want, thy life shall go for his life, or els thou shalt pay a talent of siluer.
Pandan wa a t ap pase, li te kriye a wa a e te di: “Sèvitè ou a te antre nan mitan batay la; epi tande byen, yon nonm te vire akote pou te mennen yon mesye kote mwen e li te di: ‘Veye nonm sa a; si pou nenpòt rezon li vin disparèt, alò lavi ou va peye pou lavi pa li, oswa ou va peye yon talan ajan.’
40 And as thy seruant had here and there to do, he was gone: And the King of Israel said vnto him, So shall thy iudgement be: thou hast giuen sentence.
Pandan sèvitè ou a te okipe pa isit e pa la, li te vin disparèt.” Epi wa Israël la te di li: “Se konsa jijman ou ap ye; se ou menm ki deside li.”
41 And hee hasted, and tooke the ashes away from his face: and the King of Israel knewe him that he was of the Prophets:
Epi byen vit li te retire bandaj sou zye li e wa Israël la te vin rekonèt li kòm youn nan pwofèt yo.
42 And he said vnto him, Thus saith the Lord, Because thou hast let goe out of thine handes a man whom I appoynted to dye, thy life shall goe for his life, and thy people for his people.
Li te di li: “Konsa pale SENYÈ a: ‘Akoz ou te kite sòti nan men ou nonm ke mwen te dedye a destriksyon an; pou sa, lavi ou va ale pou lavi pa li e pèp ou a pou pèp pa li a.’”
43 And the King of Israel went to his house heauie and in displeasure, and came to Samaria.
Konsa, wa Israël la te ale lakay li pa kontan e byen vekse pou te rive Samarie.
