< 2 Chronicles 18 >
1 Now Jehoshaphat had riches and honour in abundance, and joined affinity with Ahab.
Jozafa te vin gen anpil richès, tout moun t'ap fè lwanj pou li. Li ranje yon maryaj ant yon moun nan fanmi l' ak yon moun nan fanmi Akab, wa peyi Izrayèl la.
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 lanne apre sa, Jozafa al rann Akab yon vizit lavil Samari. Lè sa a, Akab fè yon gwo fèt pou Jozafa ansanm ak moun ki te avè l' yo. Li te fè touye yon pakèt mouton ak bèf pou fèt la. Lèfini, li chache pran tèt Jozafa pou yo al atake lavil Ramòt nan peyi Galarad.
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.
Akab, wa peyi Izrayèl la, di Jozafa, wa peyi Jida a: -Eske w'ap vin avè m' pou atake lavil Ramòt nan peyi Galarad la? Jozafa reponn li: -Mwen menm ak tout sòlda mwen yo, nou avè ou ansanm ak pèp ou a. Se yonn nou ye!
4 And Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Israel, Enquire, I pray thee, at the word of the LORD to day.
Apre sa, Jozafa di Akab, wa peyi Izrayèl la: -Tanpri, annou mande Seyè a sa li di nan sa.
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.
Se konsa, Akab reyini katsan (400) pwofèt li yo, li mande yo: -Eske se pou m' al atake lavil Ramòt nan peyi Galarad la, osinon èske se pou m' kite sa? Pwofèt yo reponn li: -Atake l', monwa! Seyè a ap lage l' nan men ou!
6 But Jehoshaphat said, [Is there] not here a prophet of the LORD besides, that we might enquire of him?
Lè sa a, Jozafa di konsa: -Pa gen lòt pwofèt nou ta ka mande si se volonte Seyè a pou n' al fè sa?
7 And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, [There is] yet one man, by whom we may enquire of the LORD: 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.
Akab reponn: -Gen yon lòt pwofèt ankò ki ta ka fè sa pou nou. Se Miche, pitit gason Jimla a. Men, m' rayi l', paske li pa janm di anyen ki bon pou mwen. Li toujou wè malè pou mwen. Jozafa reponn: -Pa di sa, monchè!
8 And the king of Israel called for one [of his] officers, and said, Fetch quickly Micaiah the son of Imla.
Se konsa Akab rele yonn nan nèg konfyans li yo, li di l': -Prese al chache Miche, pitit gason Jimla a, pou mwen.
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 a void place at the entering in of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets prophesied before them.
Wa peyi Izrayèl la ak Jozafa, wa peyi Jida a, te chita yo chak sou fotèy pa yo ak bèl rad wa yo sou yo, sou gwo glasi ki bò pòtay lavil Samari a sou deyò. Tout pwofèt yo te la devan yo ap bay mesaj pa yo.
10 And Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah had made him horns of iron, and said, Thus saith the LORD, With these thou shalt push Syria until they be consumed.
Yonn ladan yo te rele Sedesyas. Se te pitit Kenana. Li fè fè de kòn an fè. Li di: -Men sa Seyè a di: Avèk kòn sa yo ou pral atake moun Siri yo. Ou pral fini ak yo.
11 And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramoth-gilead, and prosper: for the LORD shall deliver [it] into the hand of the king.
Tout lòt pwofèt yo t'ap bay menm mesaj la tou. Yo t'ap di: -Ou mèt al atake Ramòt nan peyi Galarad. W'ap bon. Seyè a ap lage lavil la nan men ou.
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.
Mesaje ki te pati al rele Miche a di Miche konsa: -Tout lòt pwofèt yo te pale an favè wa a. Ranje kò ou pou ou pale tankou yo tout. Pale an favè wa a.
13 And Micaiah said, [As] the LORD liveth, even what my God saith, that will I speak.
Men, Miche reponn li: -Mwen pran Seyè a, Bondye vivan an, sèvi m' temwen. Sa Seyè a va di m' di se sa m'a di.
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 Miche rive devan wa a, wa a di l' konsa: -Miche, èske se pou m' al atake lavil Ramòt nan peyi Galarad, osinon èske se pou n' kite sa? Miche reponn: -Ou mèt al atake Ramòt nan peyi Galarad. W'ap bon. Seyè a ap lage lavil la 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 the LORD?
Men, Akab di li: -Konbe fwa pou m' di ou lè w'ap pale avè m' nan non Seyè a, se pou ou di m' laverite?
16 Then he said, I did see all Israel scattered upon the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd: and the LORD said, These have no master; let them return [therefore] every man to his house in peace.
Lè sa a, Miche reponn li: -Mwen te wè tout sòlda pèp Izrayèl yo gaye toupatou sou mòn yo, tankou yon bann mouton san gadò. Seyè a te di: Moun sa yo san chèf. Kite yo tounen lakay yo ak kè poze.
17 And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell thee [that] he would not prophesy good unto me, but evil?
Akab, wa peyi Izrayèl la, di Jozafa: -Mwen pa t' di ou li pa janm di anyen ki bon pou mwen. Li toujou wè malè pou mwen.
18 Again he said, Therefore hear the word of the LORD; I saw the LORD sitting upon his throne, and all the host of heaven standing on his right hand and [on] his left.
Miche pran lapawòl ankò, li di: -Bon! Koute mesaj Seyè a. Mwen te wè Seyè a chita sou fotèy li nan syèl la, avèk tout zanj li yo kanpe bò kote l', sou bò dwat ak sou bò gòch li.
19 And the LORD 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.
Seyè a t'ap mande ki moun ki vle al pran tèt Akab pou li al fè yo touye l' lavil Ramòt. Gen zanj ki di yon bagay, gen lòt zanj ki di yon lòt bagay.
20 Then there came out a spirit, and stood before the LORD, and said, I will entice him. And the LORD said unto him, Wherewith?
Se lè sa a, yon lespri vanse devan Seyè a, li di: Mwen pral pran tet li.
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.
Seyè a mande l': Ki jan? Lespri a reponn: Mwen pral mete pawòl manti nan bouch pwofèt Akab yo. Seyè a di l': W'a pran tèt li vre konsa. Ou mèt al fè jan ou di a.
22 Now therefore, behold, the LORD hath put a lying spirit in the mouth of these thy prophets, and the LORD hath spoken evil against thee.
Koulye a, ou konnen Seyè a te mete yon lespri mantò sou pwofèt ou yo pou yo ba ou manti, paske li pran desizyon pou l' fini avè ou.
23 Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah came near, and smote Micaiah upon the cheek, and said, Which way went the Spirit of the LORD from me to speak unto thee?
Lè sa a, Sedesyas, pitit gason Kenana a, mache sou Miche, li flanke li yon souflèt. Epi li di l': -Depi kilè lespri Bondye a kite m' pou se nan bouch ou l'ap pale a?
24 And Micaiah said, Behold, thou shalt see on that day when thou shalt go into an inner chamber to hide thyself.
Miche reponn li: -W'a konn sa lè w'a kouri pase sot nan yon chanm antre nan yon lòt pou al kache jouk nan fon.
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;
Se konsa wa Akab pase yon lòd, li di: -Arete Miche. Mennen l' bay Amon, gouvènè lavil la, ak Joas, pitit 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 mwen bay lòd pou yo mete l' nan prizon, pou yo ba li renk pen ak dlo jouk m'a tounen soti nan lagè a san danje ak malè.
27 And Micaiah said, If thou certainly return in peace, [then] hath not the LORD spoken by me. And he said, Hearken, all ye people.
Lè sa a, Miche di: -Si ou tounen soti nan lagè a san danje ni malè vre, w'a konnen Seyè a pa t' pale nan bouch mwen. Lèfini, li di: -Nou tout pèp yo, koute sa m' di la a wi.
28 So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramoth-gilead.
Se konsa Akab, wa peyi Izrayèl la, ansanm ak Jozafa, wa peyi Jida a, moute al atake lavil Ramòt nan peyi Galarad.
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.
Akab di Jozafa konsa: -Mwen pral mete yon lòt rad sou mwen anvan m al goumen an, pou moun pa rekonèt mwen. Ou men, ou mèt mete rad wa ou sou ou. Se konsa wa peyi Izrayèl la chanje rad sou li pou moun pa rekonèt li. Apre sa, li al goumen.
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.
Men, wa peyi Siri a te bay trannde chèf ki t'ap kòmande cha lagè yo lòd pou yo pa atake pesonn pase wa peyi Izrayèl la.
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 the LORD helped him; and God moved them [to depart] from him.
Se konsa, lè kòmandan cha lagè yo wè Jozafa, yo tout te konprann se li ki te wa peyi Izrayèl la. Yo vire sou li pou yo atake l'. Men, Jozafa rele anmwe. Bondye sèl mèt la vin pote l' sekou, li fè yo vire 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 mesye yo wè se pa li menm ki te wa peyi Izrayèl la, yo rete sou sa yo te vle fè a.
33 And a [certain] man drew a bow at a venture, and smote the king of Israel between the joints of the harness: therefore he said to his chariot man, Turn thine hand, that thou mayest carry me out of the host; for I am wounded.
Lè sa a, yon sòlda peyi Siri rete konsa li voye yon flèch. Flèch la al pran Akab, wa Izrayèl la, nan fant rad lagè ki te sou li a. Wa a di sòlda ki t'ap mennen cha li a: -Kase tèt tounen. Annou kite batay la, paske mwen blese 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.
Jou sa a, batay la te makònen anpil. Wa Akab menm te rete kanpe sou cha li a, l'ap gade moun peyi Siri yo jouk aswè. Lè solèy kouche li mouri.
