< 2 Kings 10 >

1 Now Ahab had seventy sons in Samaria. And Jehu wrote letters, and sent to Samaria, unto the rulers of Jezreel, even the elders, and unto them that brought up the sons of Ahab, saying:
Alò, Achab te gen swasann-dis fis Samarie. Epi Jéhu te ekri lèt pou te voye Samarie, kote chèf Jizréel yo, ansyen yo e vè gadyen pitit Achab yo, e te di:
2 'And now as soon as this letter cometh to you, seeing your master's sons are with you, and there are with you chariots and horses, fortified cities also, and armour;
“Alò, lè lèt sa a rive kote ou, akoz fis a mèt ou yo avè w, menm jan avèk cha yo, cheval yo ak yon vil fòtifye avèk zam,
3 look ye out the best and meetest of your master's sons, and set him on his father's throne, and fight for your master's house.'
chwazi pi bon ak pi kapab pami fis a mèt ou yo, mete li sou twòn papa l, e batay pou lakay mèt ou.”
4 But they were exceedingly afraid, and said: 'Behold, the two kings stood not before him; how then shall we stand?'
Men yo te pè anpil. Yo te di: “Men gade, de wa sila yo pa t kanpe devan li! Alò, kijan nou kab kanpe?”
5 And he that was over the household, and he that was over the city, the elders also, and they that brought up the children, sent to Jehu, saying: 'We are thy servants, and will do all that thou shalt bid us; we will not make any man king; do thou that which is good in thine eyes.'
Epi sila ki te sou tout kay la ak sila ki te sou vil la, ansyen yo ak gadyen zanfan yo, te voye kote Jéhu e te di: “Nou se sèvitè ou. Tout sa ou mande nou, nou va fè l. Nou p ap fè okenn moun wa. Fè sa ki bon nan zye ou.”
6 Then he wrote a letter the second time to them, saying: 'If ye be on my side, and if ye will hearken unto my voice, take ye the heads of the men your master's sons, and come to me to Jezreel by to-morrow this time.' Now the king's sons, being seventy persons, were with the great men of the city, who brought them up.
Alò, li te ekri yon lèt yon dezyèm fwa. Li te di: “Si ou sou kote pa m, ou va koute vwa m, pran tèt a mesye yo, fis a mèt ou yo, e vin kote mwen Jizréel demen vè lè sa a.” Alò, fis a wa yo, swasann-dis moun, te avèk moun enpòtan ki nan vil yo ki t ap leve yo.
7 And it came to pass, when the letter came to them, that they took the king's sons, and slew them, even seventy persons, and put their heads in baskets, and sent them unto him to Jezreel.
Lè lèt la te rive kote yo, yo te pran fis a wa yo e te touye yo; swasann-dis moun, e te mete tèt pa yo nan panyen pou te voye yo kote li Jizréel.
8 And there came a messenger, and told him, saying: 'They have brought the heads of the king's sons.' And he said: 'Lay ye them in two heaps at the entrance of the gate until the morning.'
Lè mesaje a te vin pale li, li te di: “Yo gen tan pote tèt a fis a wa yo.” Li te di yo: “Mete yo nan de pil nan antre pòtay la jis rive nan maten.”
9 And it came to pass in the morning, that he went out, and stood, and said to all the people: 'Ye are righteous; behold, I conspired against my master, and slew him; but who smote all these?
Alò, nan maten, li te ale deyò pou te kanpe pale a tout pèp la: “Nou inosan. Gade byen, mwen te fè konplo kont mèt mwen, e mwen te touye li. Men se kilès ki te touye tout sila yo?
10 Know now that there shall fall unto the earth nothing of the word of the LORD, which the LORD spoke concerning the house of Ahab; for the LORD hath done that which He spoke by His servant Elijah.'
Pou sa, konnen byen ke anyen p ap tonbe atè nan pawòl ke SENYÈ a te pale selon lakay Achab la, paske SENYÈ a te fè sa li te pale ak sèvitè li a, Élie.”
11 So Jehu smote all that remained of the house of Ahab in Jezreel, and all his great men, and his familiar friends, and his priests, until there was left him none remaining.
Konsa, Jéhu te touye tout sila ki te rete lakay Achab nan Jizréel yo ak tout moun pwisan pa li yo, avèk sila ki te konnen li yo, avèk prèt li yo, jiskaske pa t gen moun pa l vivan.
12 And he arose and departed, and went to Samaria. And as he was at the shearing-house of the shepherds in the way,
Epi li te leve sòti ale Samarie. Nan chemen an, pandan li te Beth-Eked ki te pou bèje yo,
13 Jehu met with the brethren of Ahaziah king of Judah, and said: 'Who are ye?' And they answered: 'We are the brethren of Ahaziah; and we go down to salute the children of the king and the children of the queen.'
Jéhu te rankontre fanmi a Achazia, wa Juda a. Li te mande: “Se kilès nou ye?” Yo te reponn: “Nou se fanmi a Achazia. Nou te vin desann pou salye fis a wa yo avèk fis a rèn nan.”
14 And he said: 'Take them alive.' And they took them alive, and slew them at the pit of the shearing-house, even two and forty men; neither left he any of them.
Li te di: “Pran yo vivan.” Konsa, yo te pran yo vivan e te touye yo nan fòs ki rele Beth-Eked la; karann-de mesye, e li pa t kite youn nan yo.
15 And when he was departed thence, he lighted on Jehonadab the son of Rechab coming to meet him; and he saluted him, and said to him: 'Is thy heart right, as my heart is with thy heart?' And Jehonadab answered: 'It is.' 'If it be, said Jehu, give me thy hand.' And he gave him his hand; and he took him up to him into the chariot.
Alò, lè li te kite la, li te rankontre Jonadab, fis a Récab ki te vin rankontre li a. Li te salye li, e te di li: “Èske kè ou bon, jan kè m avèk kè ou a?” Jonadab te reponn: “Li konsa.” Jéhu te di: “Si li konsa, ban mwen men ou.” Epi li te pran li fè l monte nan cha li a.
16 And he said: 'Come with me, and see my zeal for the LORD.' So they made him ride in his chariot.
Li te di: “Vini avè m pou wè zèl mwen pou SENYÈ a.” Konsa, li te fè li ale nan cha li a.
17 And when he came to Samaria, he smote all that remained unto Ahab in Samaria, till he had destroyed him, according to the word of the LORD, which He spoke to Elijah.
Lè li te rive Samarie, li te touye tout moun ki te rete pou Achab Samarie yo, jiskaske li te fin detwi li nèt, selon pawòl SENYÈ a te pale a Élie a.
18 And Jehu gathered all the people together, and said unto them: 'Ahab served Baal a little; but Jehu will serve him much.
Konsa, Jéhu te rasanble tout pèp la e li te pale yo: “Achab te sèvi Baal yon tikras; Jéhu va sèvi li anpil.
19 Now therefore call unto me all the prophets of Baal, all his worshippers, and all his priests, let none be wanting; for I have a great sacrifice to do to Baal; whosoever shall be wanting, he shall not live.' But Jehu did it in subtlety, to the intent that he might destroy the worshippers of Baal.
Pou sa, voye fè parèt tout pwofèt a Baal yo, tout sila ki sèvi l avèk tout prèt li yo. Pa kite youn nan yo pa la. Paske mwen gen yon gran sakrifis pou Baal. Nenpòt moun ki pa la, p ap viv.” Men se avèk riz Jéhu te fè sa, jis pou li ta kapab detwi fidèl a Baal yo.
20 And Jehu said: 'Sanctify a solemn assembly for Baal.' And they proclaimed it.
Jéhu te di: “Anonse yon fèt sen pou Baal.” Epi yo te anonse l.
21 And Jehu sent through all Israel; and all the worshippers of Baal came, so that there was not a man left that came not. And they came into the house of Baal; and the house of Baal was filled from one end to another.
Konsa, Jéhu te voye toupatou an Israël e tout sèvitè a Baal yo te vini, jis pa t gen yon moun ki rete ki pa t vini. Lè yo te antre nan kay Baal la, kay Baal la te ranpli jis sòti nan yon pwent pou rive nan yon lòt pwent.
22 And he said unto him that was over the vestry: 'Bring forth vestments for all the worshippers of Baal.' And he brought them forth vestments.
Li te di a sila ki te sou chaj vètman yo: “Mennen vètman yo deyò pou tout sèvitè Baal yo.” Konsa, li te mennen vètman yo deyò pou yo.
23 And Jehu went, and Jehonadab the son of Rechab, into the house of Baal; and he said unto the worshippers of Baal: 'Search, and look that there be here with you none of the servants of the LORD, but the worshippers of Baal only.'
Jéhu te antre lakay Baal avèk Jonadab, fis a Récab la, epi li te di a sèvitè Baal yo: “Chache pou wè ke pa gen pami nou okenn nan sèvitè SENYÈ a; men sèlman sèvitè a Baal yo.”
24 And they went in to offer sacrifices and burnt-offerings. Now Jehu had appointed him fourscore men without, and said: 'If any of the men whom I bring into your hands escape, his life shall be for the life of him.'
Epi yo te antre ladann pou ofri sakrifis avèk ofrann brile. Alò, Jéhu te estasyone pou li, katre-ven òm deyò a, e li te di: “Sila ki kite nenpòt nan mesye yo ke m mennen nan men nou yo chape, li menm va bay lavi li an echanj.”
25 And it came to pass, as soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt-offering, that Jehu said to the guard and to the captains: 'Go in, and slay them; let none come forth.' And they smote them with the edge of the sword; and the guard and the captains cast them out, and went to the city of the house of Baal.
Li te vin rive ke depi li te fin fè ofrann brile a, Jéhu te di a gad avèk ofisye wayal yo, “Antre ladann e touye yo! Pa kite pèsòn sòti!” Konsa, yo te touye yo avèk lam nepe, epi gad avèk ofisye wayal yo te jete yo deyò e te antre nan chanm enteryè nan kay Baal la.
26 And they brought forth the pillars that were in the house of Baal, and burned them.
Yo te pran pilye sakre lakay Baal yo e te mennen yo deyò pou te brile yo.
27 And they broke down the pillar of Baal, and broke down the house of Baal, and made it a draught-house, unto this day.
Anplis, yo te kraze pilye sakre a Baal la, yo te kraze kay Baal la e te fè l tounen yon latrin jis rive jodi a.
28 Thus Jehu destroyed Baal out of Israel.
Konsa, Jéhu te rache Baal sòti an Israël.
29 Howbeit from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, wherewith he made Israel to sin, Jehu departed not from after them, the golden calves that were in Beth-el, and that were in Dan.
Men peche a Jéroboam yo, fis a Nebath la, avèk sila li te fè Israël peche a, depi sila yo, Jéhu pa t kite yo, menm jenn bèf an lò ki te Béthel e ki te Dan.
30 And the LORD said unto Jehu: 'Because thou hast done well in executing that which is right in Mine eyes, and hast done unto the house of Ahab according to all that was in My heart, thy sons of the fourth generation shall sit on the throne of Israel.'
SENYÈ a te di a Jéhu: “Akoz ou te fè sa ki bon nan acheve sa ki bon nan zye m, e ou te fè a lakay Achab selon tout sa ki te nan kè M, fis ou yo jis rive nan katriyèm jenerasyon va chita sou twòn Israël la.”
31 But Jehu took no heed to walk in the law of the LORD, the God of Israel, with all his heart; he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam, wherewith he made Israel to sin.
Men Jéhu pa t fè atansyon mache avèk tout kè li nan lalwa SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la. Li pa t kite peche a Jéroboam yo, avèk sila li te fè Israël peche yo.
32 In those days the LORD began to cut Israel short; and Hazael smote them in all the borders of Israel:
Nan jou sa yo, SENYÈ a te kòmanse koupe retire li nan peyi Israël la. Hazaël te bat yo toupatou nan teritwa Israël la,
33 from the Jordan eastward, all the land of Gilead, the Gadites, and the Reubenites, and the Manassites, from Aroer, which is by the valley of Arnon, even Gilead and Bashan.
soti nan Jourdain an pou ale vè lès, tout peyi Galaad la, Gadit yo, Ribenit yo ak Manasit yo, soti nan Aroër, ki akote vale Arnon an, menm Galaad avèk Basan.
34 Now the rest of the acts of Jehu, and all that he did, and all his might, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
Alò, tout lòt zèv a Jéhu yo ak tout sa li te fè avèk tout pwisans li, èske yo pa ekri nan Liv Kwonik a Wa Israël yo?
35 And Jehu slept with his fathers; and they buried him in Samaria. And Jehoahaz his son reigned in his stead.
Konsa, Jéhu te dòmi avèk zansèt li yo, e yo te antere li Samarie. Joachaz, fis li a, te devni wa nan plas li.
36 And the time that Jehu reigned over Israel in Samaria was twenty and eight years.
Alò, tan ke Jéhu te renye sou Israël Samarie a se te venn-tuitan.
