Chronicles II 18
1 And Josaphat had yet great wealth and glory, and he connected himself by marriage with the house of Achaab.
Alò Josaphat te gen gwo richès avèk lonè; epi li te fè alyans avèk Achab pa maryaj.
2 And he went down after a term of years to Achaab to Samaria: and Achaab killed for him sheep and calves, in abundance, and for the people with him, and he much desired him to go up with him to Ramoth of the country of Galaad.
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 Achaab king of Israel said to Josaphat king of Juda, Will you go with me to Ramoth of the country of Galaad? And he said to him, As I [am], so also [are] you, as your people, [so] also [is] my people with you for 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 Josaphat said to the king of Israel, Seek, I pray you, the Lord today.
Anplis, Josaphat te di a wa Israël la: “Souple, fè ankèt avan pou pawòl SENYÈ a.”
5 And the king of Israel gathered the prophets, four hundred men, and said to them, Shall I go to Ramoth Galaad to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up, and God shall deliver [it] into the hands of the king.
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 And Josaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the Lord besides, that we may 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 to Josaphat, There is yet one man by whom to enquire of the Lord; but I hate him, for he does not prophesy concerning me for good, for all his days [are] for evil: this [is] Michaias the son of Jembla. And Josaphat 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 called an eunuch, and said, [Fetch] quickly Michaias the son of Jembla.
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 Josaphat king of Juda were sitting each on his throne, and clothed in their robes, sitting in the open space at the entrance of the gate of Samaria: and all the prophets were prophesying 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 Sedekias son of Chanaan made for himself iron horns, and said, Thus says the Lord, With these you shall thrust Syria until it 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 Galaad, and you shall prosper; and the Lord shall deliver it into the hands 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 Michaias spoke to him, saying, Behold, the prophets have spoken favourably concerning the king with one mouth; let now, I pray you, your words be as [the words] of one of them, and do you speak good things.
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 Michaias said, [As] the Lord lives, whatever God shall say to me, 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 he came to the king, and the king said to him, Michaias, shall I go up to Ramoth Galaad to battle, or shall I forbear? And he said, Go up, and you shall prosper, and they shall be given into your hands.
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 often shall I solemnly charge you that you speak to me nothing but truth in the name of the Lord?
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 And he said, I saw Israel scattered on the mountains, as sheep without a shepherd: and the Lord said, These have no commander; let each return to his home 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 Josaphat, Said I not to you, that he would not prophesy concerning me good, 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 But he said, Not so. Hear you the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven stood by 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 the Lord said, Who will deceive Achaab king of Israel, that he may go up, and fall in Ramoth Galaad? And one spoke this way, and another spoke that way.
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 And there came forth a spirit, and stood before the Lord, and said, I will deceive him. And the Lord said, Whereby?
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 forth, and will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And [the Lord] said, You shall deceive [him], and shall prevail: go forth, and do 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 And now, behold, the Lord has put a false spirit in the mouth of these your prophets, and the Lord has spoken evil against you.
“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 Sedekias the son of Chanaan drew near, and struck Michaias on the cheek, and said to him, By what way passed the Spirit of the Lord from me to speak to you?
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 Michaias said, Behold, you shall see in that day, when you shall go from chamber to chamber to hide yourself.
Michée te di: “Gade byen, nan jou ke ou antre nan chanm anndan pou kache kò ou la, ou va wè sa.”
25 And the king of Israel said, Take Michaias, and carry him back to Emer the governor of the city, and to Joas the captain, 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 you shall say, Thus said the king, Put this fellow into the prison house, and let him eat the bread of affliction, and [drink] the 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 Michaias said, If you do at all return in peace, the Lord has not spoken by me. And he said, Hear, all you 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 Josaphat king of Juda, went up to Ramoth Galaad.
Konsa, wa Israël avèk Josaphat, wa Juda a, te monte kont Ramoth-Galaad.
29 And the king of Israel said to Josaphat, Disguise me, and I will enter into the battle: and do you put on my raiment. so the king of Israel disguised himself, and entered into 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 neither against small nor great, but only against 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 Josaphat, that they said, It is the king of Israel: and they compassed him about to fight against him: and Josaphat cried out, and the Lord delivered him; and God turned them away 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 And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw that it was not the king of Israel, that they turned away from him.
Lè chèf cha yo te wè ke se pa t wa Israël la, yo te retounen pa swiv li.
33 And a man drew a bow with a good aim, and struck the king of Israel between the lungs and the breast-plate: and he said to the charioteer, Turn your hand, drive 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 turned in that day; and the king of Israel remained on the chariot against Syria until evening, and died at sunset.
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.
