2 Kings 3
1 Now Jehoram the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and reigned twelve years.
Alò Joram, fis Achab la te devni Wa sou Israël nan Samarie nan di-zuityèm ane a Josaphat, wa Juda a, e li te renye pandan douzan.
2 And he wrought evil in the sight of YHWH; but not like his father, and like his mother: for he put away the image of Baal that his father had made.
Li te fè mal nan zye SENYÈ a, malgre, se pa tankou papa li avèk manman li. Paske li te retire pilye sakre a Baal ke papa li te fè a.
3 Nevertheless he cleaved unto the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, which made Israel to sin; he departed not therefrom.
Sepandan, li te kenbe rèd a peche Jéroboam, fis a Nebat la. Avèk sila li te fè Israël peche a. Li pa t kite yo.
4 And Mesha king of Moab was a sheepmaster, and rendered unto the king of Israel an hundred thousand lambs, and an hundred thousand rams, with the wool.
Alò, Mesha, wa Moab la te yon mèt ki fò nan pran swen mouton. Li te konn peye wa Israël la avèk lenn a san-mil jenn mouton ansanm avèk lenn san-mil belye.
5 But it came to pass, when Ahab was dead, that the king of Moab rebelled against the king of Israel.
Men lè Achab te vin mouri, wa Moab la te fè rebèl kont wa Israël la.
6 And king Jehoram went out of Samaria the same time, and numbered all Israel.
Konsa, wa Joram te kite Samarie nan tan sa a pou te rasanble tout Israël.
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, and my horses as thy horses.
Alò, li te voye kote Josaphat, wa Juda a. Li te di: “Wa Moab la te fè rebèl kont mwen. Èske ou va monte avè m pou goumen kont Moab?” Li te reponn: “M ap monte. Mwen tankou ou menm e pèp mwen an tankou pèp pa w la, cheval mwen yo tankou cheval pa ou yo.”
8 And he said, Which way shall we go up? And he answered, The way through the wilderness of Edom.
Konsa, li te mande: “Nan ki chemen nou dwe monte?” Wa Joram te reponn: “Pa chemen dezè ki nan Édom an.”
9 So the king of Israel went, and the king of Judah, and the king of Edom: and they fetched a compass of seven days' journey: and there was no water for the host, and for the cattle that followed them.
Konsa, wa Israël la te ale avèk wa Juda a ak wa Édom an e nan vwayaj la, yo fè yon tou mache pandan sèt jou, e pa t gen dlo pou lame a ak pou betay ki te swiv yo.
10 And the king of Israel said, Alas! that YHWH hath called these three kings together, to deliver them into the hand of Moab!
Alò, wa Israël la te di: “Elas! Konsa SENYÈ a te rele twa wa sa yo pou lage yo nan men Moab.”
11 But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of YHWH, that we may inquire of YHWH by him? And one of the king of Israel's servants answered and said, Here is Elisha the son of Shaphat, which poured water on the hands of EliYah.
Men Josaphat te di: “Èske pa gen yon pwofèt SENYÈ a isit la, pou nou kapab fè demann SENYÈ a pa li menm?” Youn nan sèvitè wa yo te reponn. Li te di: “Élisée, fis a Schaphath la, ki te konn vide dlo sou men a Élie yo isit la.”
12 And Jehoshaphat said, The word of YHWH is with him. So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and the king of Edom went down to him.
Josaphat te di: “Pawòl SENYÈ a avèk li.” Konsa, wa Israël la avèk Josaphat, avèk wa Édom an te desann kote li.
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 YHWH hath called these three kings together, to deliver them into the hand of Moab.
Alò, Élisée te di a wa Israël la: “Kisa m gen avè w? Ale kote pwofèt a papa ou avèk pwofèt a manman ou yo.” Wa Israël la te reponn: “Non, paske SENYÈ a te rele twa wa sila yo ansanm pou livre yo nan men a wa Moab la.”
14 And Elisha said, As YHWH 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.
Élisée te di: “Jan SENYÈ a viv la, devan sila mwen kanpe a, si se pa ke m respekte prezans a Josaphat, wa Juda a, mwen pa t ap gade ou, ni wè ou.
15 But now bring me a minstrel. And it came to pass, when the minstrel played, that the hand of YHWH came upon him.
Men koulye a, mennen ban mwen yon mizisyen.” Epi li te vin rive ke lè mizisyen an te jwe, men SENYÈ a te vini sou Elisée.
16 And he said, Thus saith YHWH, Make this valley full of ditches.
Li te di: “Konsa di SENYÈ a: ‘Fè vale sila a vin ranpli avèk kanal.’
17 For thus saith YHWH, Ye shall not see wind, neither shall ye see rain; yet that valley shall be filled with water, that ye may drink, both ye, and your cattle, and your beasts.
Paske konsa pale SENYÈ a: ‘Ou p ap wè van ni ou p ap wè lapli. Malgre sa, vale sila a va vin ranpli avèk dlo pou nou kab bwè; ni nou, ni bèf nou yo, ni bèt nou yo.
18 And this is but a light thing in the sight of YHWH: he will deliver the Moabites also into your hand.
Sa se sèlman yon tikras bagay nan zye SENYÈ a. Anplis, Li va livre Moabit yo nan men nou.
19 And ye shall smite every fenced city, and every choice city, and shall fell every good tree, and stop all wells of water, and mar every good piece of land with stones.
Konsa, nou va frape chak vil ki fòtifye e chak nan pi bèl vil yo, koupe mete atè tout bon pyebwa, bouche tout sous dlo e gate tout bon mòso tè avèk wòch yo.’”
20 And it came to pass in the morning, when the meat offering was offered, that, behold, there came water by the way of Edom, and the country was filled with water.
Li te vin rive nan maten vè lè pou ofri sakrifis la, ke vwala, dlo te sòti vè direksyon Édom e peyi a te vin ranpli avèk dlo.
21 And when all the Moabites heard that the kings were come up to fight against them, they gathered all that were able to put on armour, and upward, and stood in the border.
Alò, tout Moabit yo te tande ke wa yo te monte pou goumen kont yo. Epi tout moun ki te kapab, te mete vètman pwotèj yo e sila avèk plis laj yo te resevwa lòd pou vin kanpe sou lizyè fwontyè a.
22 And they rose up early in the morning, and the sun shone upon the water, and the Moabites saw the water on the other side as red as blood:
Yo te leve bonè nan maten, solèy la te vin klere sou dlo a, e Moabit yo te wè dlo anfas yo a wouj tankou san.
23 And they said, This is blood: the kings are surely slain, and they have smitten one another: now therefore, Moab, to the spoil.
Konsa, yo te di: “Sa se san. Asireman, wa yo te goumen ansanm e youn te touye lòt. Pou sa, Moab, antre pran piyaj la!”
24 And when they came to the camp of Israel, the Israelites rose up and smote the Moabites, so that they fled before them: but they went forward smiting the Moabites, even in their country.
Men lè yo te rive nan kan Israël la, Izrayelit yo te leve e te frape Moabit yo jiskaske yo te kouri devan yo. Epi yo te avanse nan peyi a e te fè yon gwo masak pami Moabit yo.
25 And they beat down the cities, and on every good piece of land cast every man his stone, and filled it; and they stopped all the wells of water, and felled all the good trees: only in Kir-haraseth left they the stones thereof; howbeit the slingers went about it, and smote it.
Konsa, yo te detwi vil yo, epi chak moun te jete yon wòch sou chak mòso bon tè pou te plen yo. Epi yo te bouche tout sous dlo yo e te koupe tout bon pyebwa yo, jis yo rive nan Kir-Haréseth kote se sèl wòch li yo ki rete. Men mesye fistibal yo te antoure li e te frape li.
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 swords, to break through even unto the king of Edom: but they could not.
Lè wa Moab la te wè ke batay la te twò mechan pou li, li te pran avèk li sèt-san mesye ki te rale nepe pou ouvri yon pasaj pou rive kote wa Édom an; 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 was great indignation against Israel: and they departed from him, and returned to their own land.
Alò, li te pran pi gran fis li a ki te gen pou renye nan plas li, e li te ofri li kòm yon ofrann brile sou mi lan. Epi te vin gen lakòlè byen cho kont Israël, e yo te kite li pou retounen nan peyi pa yo.
