2 Kings 3
1 Now Jehoram the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria in the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and reigned twelve years.
Lè sa a, wa Jozafa t'ap mache sou dizwitan depi li t'ap gouvènen nan peyi Jida lè Joram, pitit Akab la, moute sou fotèy wa peyi Izrayèl la. Li pase douzan ap gouvènen nan lavil Samari.
2 And he did that which was evil in the sight of the LORD; but not like his father, and like his mother; for he put away the pillar of Baal that his father had made.
Li fè sa ki mal nan je Seyè a, men pa tankou papa l' ak manman l' Jezabèl. Li wete gwo wòch papa l' te mete kanpe pou sèvis Baal la.
3 Nevertheless he cleaved unto the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, wherewith he made Israel to sin; he departed not therefrom.
Men, li fè menm peche ak Jewoboram, pitit gason Nebat la, li lakòz pèp Izrayèl la fè peche. Li pa t' soti pou l' te kite vye chemen sa a.
4 Now Mesha king of Moab was a sheep-master; and he rendered unto the king of Israel the wool of a hundred thousand lambs, and of a hundred thousand rams.
Mesa, wa peyi Moab la, te fè gadinaj mouton. Se konsa li te pran angajman pou li te bay wa peyi Izrayèl la sanmil (100.000) ti mouton ak sanmil (100.000) belye ak tout lenn yo sou yo.
5 But it came to pass, when Ahab was dead, that the king of Moab rebelled against the king of Israel.
Men, lè Akab, wa peyi Izrayèl la, mouri, wa peyi Moab la revòlte kont otorite wa peyi Izrayèl la.
6 And king Jehoram went out of Samaria at that time, and mustered all Israel.
Lamenm, wa Joram kite lavil Samari, li sanble tout lame pèp Izrayèl la.
7 And he went and sent to Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, saying: 'The king of Moab hath rebelled against me; wilt thou go with me against Moab to battle?' And he said: 'I will go up; I am as thou art, my people as thy people, my horses as thy horses.'
Epi li pati, li voye di Jozafa, wa peyi Jida a: —Wa peyi Moab la revòlte kont otorite mwen. Ou pa ta vle vin avè m' pou nou atake moun Moab yo? Jozafa reponn: —Men wi! Mwen menm ak tout sòlda mwen yo ak kavalye mwen yo, nou avè ou ansanm ak pèp ou a. Se yonn nou ye!
8 And he said: 'Which way shall we go up?' And he answered: 'The way of the wilderness of Edom.'
Ki wout n'ap pran pou n' al atake? Joram reponn li: —N'ap pran chemen ki pase nan dezè Edon an.
9 So the king of Israel went, and the king of Judah, and the king of Edom; and they made a circuit of seven days' journey; and there was no water for the host, nor for the beasts that followed them.
Se konsa Joram, wa peyi Izrayèl la, ansanm ak wa peyi Jida a ak wa peyi Edon an pati. Yo pase sèt jou ap mache. Lè sa a dlo yo fini, pa t' gen yon ti gout dlo ni pou sòlda yo ni pou bèt chay ki te avè yo.
10 And the king of Israel said: 'Alas! for the LORD hath called these three kings together to deliver them into the hand of Moab.'
Joram, wa peyi Izrayèl la, di: —Woy! Nou fini! Seyè a fè nou tou twa vin isit la ansanm pou l' lage nou nan men wa Moab la.
11 But Jehoshaphat said: 'Is there not here a prophet of the LORD, that we may inquire of the LORD by him?' And one of the king of Israel's servants answered and said: 'Elisha the son of Shaphat is here, who poured water on the hands of Elijah.'
Jozafa mande: —Pa gen yon pwofèt bò isit la ki ta ka pale ak Seyè a pou nou? Yonn nan chèf wa peyi Izrayèl yo di: —Bò isit la gen Elize, pitit gason Chafa a. Se li ki t'ap sèvi ak Eli.
12 And Jehoshaphat said: 'The word of the LORD is with him.' So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and the king of Edom went down to him.
Jozafa di: —Sèten l'ap gen kichòy pou l' di nou nan non Seyè a! Se konsa wa peyi Izrayèl la ansanm ak Jozafa ak wa peyi Edon an pati, y' al wè Elize.
13 And Elisha said unto the king of Israel: 'What have I to do with thee? get thee to the prophets of thy father, and to the prophets of thy mother.' And the king of Israel said unto him: 'Nay; for the LORD hath called these three kings together to deliver them into the hand of Moab.'
Elize di wa Izrayèl la konsa: —Ki rapò m' gen avè ou! Al wè pwofèt papa ou ak manman ou te konn al wè yo! Joram reponn: —Non! Se Seyè a ki voye chache nou pou l' lage nou twa wa sa yo nan men wa peyi Moab la.
14 And Elisha said: 'As the LORD of hosts liveth, before whom I stand, surely, were it not that I regard the presence of Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, I would not look toward thee, nor see thee.
Elize reponn: —Mwen pran Seyè vivan m'ap sèvi a pou temwen! Si mwen pa t' gen respè pou Jozafa, wa peyi Jida a, m' pa ta menm gade ou, m' pa ta okipe ou.
15 But now bring me a minstrel.' And it came to pass, when the minstrel played, that the hand of the LORD came upon him.
Koulye a, al chache yon mizisyen pou mwen. Pandan mizisyen an t'ap jwe mizik, pouvwa Seyè a desann sou Elize.
16 And he said: 'Thus saith the LORD: Make this valley full of trenches.
Elize di: —Men sa Seyè a di: Fouye anpil gwo twou nan fon ravin sa a.
17 For thus saith the LORD: Ye shall not see wind, neither shall ye see rain, yet that valley shall be filled with water; and ye shall drink, both ye and your cattle and your beasts.
Paske, men sa li di ankò: Nou p'ap wè van, nou p'ap wè lapli, men ravin sa a pral plen dlo. Konsa n'a jwenn kont dlo pou nou bwè ansanm ak bèf, kabrit nou yo ak bèt chay nou yo.
18 And this is but a light thing in the sight of the LORD; He will also deliver the Moabites into your hand.
Men tou sa pa anyen bò kote sa Seyè a ka fè. Li pral lage moun peyi Moab yo nan men nou.
19 And ye shall smite every fortified city, and every choice city, and shall fell every good tree, and stop all fountains of water, and mar every good piece of land with stones.'
Nou pral pran tout bèl lavil ak ranpa yo, nou pral koupe tout bèl pyebwa yo, nou pral bouche tout sous dlo yo. Nou pral gate tout pi bèl jaden yo, nou pral kouvri yo ak wòch.
20 And it came to pass in the morning, about the time of making the offering, that, behold, there came water by the way of Edom, and the country was filled with water.
Nan denmen maten, lè lè pou yo fè ofrann lan rive, yon dlo soti nan direksyon Edon, li kouvri tout tè a.
21 Now when all the Moabites heard that the kings were come up to fight against them, they gathered themselves together, all that were able to put on armour, and upward, and stood on the border.
Lè moun Moab yo pran nouvèl twa wa yo te moute vin atake yo, tout gason ki te gen laj pou pote zam, gran kou piti, yo sanble, y' al mase kò yo sou fwontyè a.
22 And they rose up early in the morning, and the sun shone upon the water, and the Moabites saw the water some way off as red as blood;
Nan denmen maten, lè yo leve, limyè solèy la t'ap bat sou dlo a. Li bay dlo a yon koulè wouj, moun Moab yo te kwè se san.
23 and they said: 'This is blood: the kings have surely fought together, and they have smitten each man his fellow; now therefore, Moab, to the spoil.'
Yo di: —Gade san! Lame wa yo gen lè goumen yonn ak lòt, yonn touye lòt. Ann al piye kan yo!
24 And when they came to the camp of Israel, the Israelites rose up and smote the Moabites, so that they fled before them. And they smote the land, even Moab, mightily.
Men lè moun Moab yo rive nan kan moun Izrayèl yo, moun Izrayèl yo tonbe sou yo, yo kòmanse bat yo. Moun Moab yo pran kouri. Moun Izrayèl yo antre dèyè yo nan peyi Moab, yo touye tout moun Moab ki tonbe anba men yo.
25 And they beat down the cities; and on every good piece of land they cast every man his stone, and filled it; and they stopped all the fountains of water, and felled all the good trees; until there was left only Kir-hareseth with the stones of the wall thereof; so the slingers encompassed it, and smote it.
Yo detwi lavil yo. Chak fwa yo rive bò yon bèl jaden, chak moun pran wòch, yo voye ladan l' jouk jaden an kouvri nèt ak wòch. Yo bouche tout sous dlo yo, yo koupe tout bèl pyebwa yo. Sèl kote ki te rete kanpe se te lavil Kiraresèt, kapital la. Sòlda yo sènen l', yo atake l' ak kout wòch.
26 And when the king of Moab saw that the battle was too sore for him, he took with him seven hundred men that drew sword, to break through unto the king of Edom; but they could not.
Lè wa peyi Moab la wè li t'ap pèdi batay la, li pran sètsan (700) sòlda avè l'. Avèk nepe yo, yo chache mwayen pou yo pase nan mitan sòlda Izrayèl yo al fè wout yo nan direksyon peyi Edon, men yo pa t' kapab.
27 Then he took his eldest son that should have reigned in his stead, and offered him for a burnt-offering upon the wall. And there came great wrath upon Israel; and they departed from him, and returned to their own land.
Lè sa a, wa peyi Moab la pran premye pitit gason l' lan, sa ki te pou pran plas li sou fotèy la, li ofri l' bay bondye peyi Moab la, li touye l' sou tèt miray lavil la. Lè moun Izrayèl yo wè sa, yo pè pou malè pa rive yo. Yo rale kò yo dèyè, yo tounen nan peyi yo.
