2 Chronicles 18
1 Now Jehoshaphat had riches and honour in abundance, and joined affinity with Ahab.
Alò Josaphat te gen gwo richès avèk lonè; epi li te fè alyans avèk Achab pa maryaj.
2 And after certain years he went down to Ahab to Samaria. And Ahab killed sheep and oxen for him in abundance, and for the people that he had with him, and persuaded him to go up with him to Ramoth–gilead.
Kèk ane pita, li te desann kote Achab Samarie. Konsa, Achab te touye anpil mouton avèk bèf pou li avèk moun ki te avèk li yo, e li te konvenk li monte kont Ramoth-Galaad.
3 And Ahab king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat king of Judah, Wilt thou go with me to Ramoth–gilead? And he answered him, I am as thou art, and my people as thy people; and we will be with thee in the war.
Achab, wa Israël la, te di a Josaphat, wa Juda a: “Èske ou va monte avèk mwen kont Ramoth-Galaad?” Konsa, li te di li: “Mwen tankou ou menm e pèp mwen an tankou pèp pa w la, nou avèk ou nan batay la.”
4 And Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Israel, Enquire, I pray thee, at the word of Yhwh to day.
Anplis, Josaphat te di a wa Israël la: “Souple, fè ankèt avan pou pawòl SENYÈ a.”
5 Therefore the king of Israel gathered together of prophets four hundred men, and said unto them, Shall we go to Ramoth–gilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up; for God will deliver it into the king’s hand.
Epi wa Israël la te rasanble tout pwofèt yo, kat-san mesye. Li te di yo: “Èske nou dwe monte kont Ramoth-Galaad pou batay, oswa èske mwen dwe fè bak?” Epi yo te reponn: “Ale monte, paske Bondye va livre li nan men a wa a.”
6 But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of Yhwh besides, that we might enquire of him?
Men Josaphat te di: “Èske pa gen toujou yon pwofèt SENYÈ a pou nou kab mande sa?”
7 And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man, by whom we may enquire of Yhwh: but I hate him; for he never prophesied good unto me, but always evil: the same is Micaiah the son of Imla. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.
Wa Israël la te di a Josaphat: “Gen youn toujou ke nou kab fè demann a SENYÈ a, men mwen rayi li, paske li pa janm pwofetize sa ki bon pou mwen, men toujou, mal. Li se Michée, fis Jimla a.” Men Josaphat te di: “Pa kite wa a pale konsa.”
8 And the king of Israel called for one of his officers, and said, Fetch quickly Micaiah the son of Imla.
Konsa, wa Israël la te rele yon ofisye e te di: “Fè vit, mennen Michée, fis Jimla a.”
9 And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah sat either of them on his throne, clothed in their robes, and they sat in an open place at the entering in of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets prophesied before them.
Alò, wa Israël la avèk Josaphat, wa Juda a te chita yo chak sou twòn yo, abiye ak manto yo. Yo te chita kote glasi vannen an nan antre pòtay Samarie a, epi tout pwofèt yo t ap pwofetize devan yo.
10 And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah had made him horns of iron, and said, Thus saith Yhwh, With these thou shalt push Syria until they be consumed.
Sédécias, fis a Kenaana a, te fè kòn an fè pou kont li. Li te di: “Konsa pale SENYÈ a, ‘Avèk sila yo, ou va frennen Siryen yo, jiskaske yo fin detwi nèt.’”
11 And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramoth–gilead, and prosper: for Yhwh shall deliver it into the hand of the king.
Tout pwofèt yo t ap pwofetize konsa. Yo t ap di: “Ale monte Ramoth-Galaad e reyisi, paske SENYÈ a va livre li nan men a wa a.”
12 And the messenger that went to call Micaiah spake to him, saying, Behold, the words of the prophets declare good to the king with one assent; let thy word therefore, I pray thee, be like one of theirs, and speak thou good.
Konsa, mesaje ki te ale fè demand prezans Michée a te pale avèk li. Li te di: “Gade byen, pawòl a pwofèt yo favorab nèt pou wa a. Konsa, souple, kite pawòl ou fèt tankou pa yo a e pale anfavè li.”
13 And Micaiah said, As Yhwh liveth, even what my God saith, that will I speak.
Men Michée te di: “Jan SENYÈ a viv la, sa ke Bondye mwen an di, se sa mwen va pale.”
14 And when he was come to the king, the king said unto him, Micaiah, shall we go to Ramoth–gilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And he said, Go ye up, and prosper, and they shall be delivered into your hand.
Lè li te rive kote wa a, wa a te di li: “Michée, èske nou dwe monte Ramoth-Galaad pou batay la, oswa èske mwen dwe fè bak?” Li te di: “Ale monte e reyisi, paske yo va livre nan men ou.”
15 And the king said to him, How many times shall I adjure thee that thou say nothing but the truth to me in the name of Yhwh?
Epi wa a te di li: “Konbyen fwa mwen oblije fè demann ke ou pa pale anyen sof ke laverite nan non SENYÈ a?”
16 Then he said, I did see all Israel scattered upon the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd: And Yhwh said, These have no master; let them return therefore every man to his house in peace.
Konsa, li te reponn: “Mwen te wè tout Israël gaye sou mòn yo tankou mouton ki pa t gen bèje. Konsa, SENYÈ a te di: ‘Sila yo pa gen mèt. Kite yo chak retounen lakay yo anpè.’”
17 And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee that he would not prophesy good unto me, but evil?
Wa Israël la te di a Josaphat: “Èske mwen pa t di ou ke li pa t pwofetize sa ki bon pou mwen, men sa ki mal?”
18 Again he said, Therefore hear the word of Yhwh; I saw Yhwh sitting upon his throne, and all the army of heaven standing on his right hand and on his left.
Michée te di: “Pou sa, tande pawòl SENYÈ a: Mwen te wè SENYÈ a ki te chita sou twòn li an ak tout lame syèl la ki te kanpe adwat Li ak agoch Li.
19 And Yhwh said, Who shall entice Ahab king of Israel, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth–gilead? And one spake saying after this manner, and another saying after that manner.
SENYÈ a te di: ‘Kilès k ap sedwi Achab, wa Israël la, pou monte tonbe Ramoth-Galaad?’ Epi youn te di sa, pandan yon lòt te di yon lòt bagay.
20 Then there came out a spirit, and stood before Yhwh, and said, I will entice him. And Yhwh said unto him, Wherewith?
Alò, yon lespri te parèt e te kanpe devan SENYÈ a. Li te di: Mwen va sedwi li.’” “Epi SENYÈ a te di: ‘Kijan’?
21 And he said, I will go out, and be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And the Lord said, Thou shalt entice him, and thou shalt also prevail: go out, and do even so.
“Li te reponn: ‘Mwen va ale fè l tankou yon lespri manti nan bouch a tout pwofèt li yo.’ “Epi Li te di: ‘Ou dwe sedwi li e genyen li tou. Ale fè sa.’
22 Now therefore, behold, Yhwh hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of these thy prophets, And Yhwh hath spoken evil against thee.
“Alò, pou sa, gade byen, SENYÈ a te mete yon lespri manti nan bouch a sila yo, pwofèt ou yo, paske SENYÈ a te pwoklame dega kont ou.”
23 Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah came near, and smote Micaiah upon the cheek, and said, Which way went the Spirit of Yhwh from me to speak unto thee?
Konsa, Sédécias, fis a Kenaana a, te pwoche. Li te frape Michée sou machwè l e te di: “Ki kote chemen Lespri SENYÈ a te fè kite mwen pou pale avè w?”
24 And Micaiah said, Behold, thou shalt see on that day when thou shalt go into an inner chamber to hide thyself.
Michée te di: “Gade byen, nan jou ke ou antre nan chanm anndan pou kache kò ou la, ou va wè sa.”
25 Then the king of Israel said, Take ye Micaiah, and carry him back to Amon the governor of the city, and to Joash the king’s son;
Alò, wa Israël la te di: “Pran Michée e fè l retounen kote Amon, majistra vil la ak Joas, fis a wa a.
26 And say, Thus saith the king, Put this fellow in the prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and with water of affliction, until I return in peace.
Di yo: ‘Konsa pale wa a: “Mete nonm sila a nan prizon a, e ba li tikras pen ak dlo jiskaske m retounen anpè.”’”
27 And Micaiah said, If thou certainly return in peace, then hath not Yhwh spoken by me. And he said, Hearken, all ye people.
Michée te di: “Si, anverite, ou ta retounen anpè, SENYÈ a pa t vrèman pale avèk mwen.” Li te di: “Koute byen, tout pèp yo!”
28 So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramoth–gilead.
Konsa, wa Israël avèk Josaphat, wa Juda a, te monte kont Ramoth-Galaad.
29 And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, I will disguise myself, and will go to the battle; but put thou on thy robes. So the king of Israel disguised himself; and they went to the battle.
Wa Israël la te di a Josaphat: “Mwen va kache idantite mwen pou antre nan batay la, e ou menm, mete pwòp manto ou.” Konsa, wa Israël la te kache idantite li, e yo te antre nan batay la.
30 Now the king of Syria had commanded the captains of the chariots that were with him, saying, Fight ye not with small or great, save only with the king of Israel.
Alò, wa Syrie a te kòmande chèf a cha li yo. Li te di: “Pa goumen avèk piti ni gran, men avèk wa Israël la sèlman.”
31 And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, It is the king of Israel. Therefore they compassed about him to fight: but Jehoshaphat cried out, And Yhwh helped him; and God moved them to depart from him.
Pou sa, lè chèf a cha yo te wè Josaphat, yo te di: “Li se wa Israël la,” e yo te vire akote pou goumen kont li. Men Josaphat te kriye anmwey, e SENYÈ a te fè l sekou. Bondye te angaje yo pou yo te kite l.
32 For it came to pass, that, when the captains of the chariots perceived that it was not the king of Israel, they turned back again from pursuing him.
Lè chèf cha yo te wè ke se pa t wa Israël la, yo te retounen pa swiv li.
33 And a certain man drew a bow at a venture, and smote the king of Israel between the joints of the armour: therefore he said to his chariot man, Turn thine hand, that thou mayest carry me out of the battle; for I am wounded.
Yon sèten nonm te rale banza li pa aza, e te frape wa Israël la nan yon kwen nan pwotèj kò a. Konsa, li te pale a chofè cha a: “Vire tounen e fè m sòti nan batay la, paske mwen blese byen grav.”
34 And the battle increased that day: howbeit the king of Israel stayed himself up in his chariot against the Syrians until the even: and about the time of the sun going down he died.
Batay la te chofe byen rèd tout jounen an e wa Israël te fòse pou l te kab kanpe nan cha li a devan Siryen yo jis rive nan aswè; epi nan kouche solèy la, li te mouri.
