1 Kings 20
1 And Ben-hadad the king of Syria assembled all his host together: and thirty and two kings were with him, and horses, and chariots; and he went up and besieged Samaria, and made war against it.
Bennadad, wa peyi Siri a, reyini tout lame li a. Trannde lòt wa, avèk tout chwal yo ak cha lagè yo, vin mete tèt ansanm avè l'. Bennadad mache sou lavil Samari. Li sènen l', li atake l'.
2 And he sent messengers to Achab the king of Israel into the city;
Li voye mesaje anndan lavil la bò kote Akab, wa peyi Izrayèl la,
3 And he said unto him, Thus hath said Ben-hadad, Thy silver and thy gold are mine; thy wives also and thy children, even the best, are mine.
pou di li: -Wa Bennadad voye di ou tout bagay ou gen an lò ak an ajan se pou li yo ye. Tout madanm ou yo ak tout pi bon pitit gason ou yo se pou li yo ye tou.
4 And the king of Israel answered and said, According to thy word, my Lord, O king, thine am I, and all that I have.
Wa Akab reponn: -Di wa Bennadad, mèt mwen, se jan li vle! Li mèt pran m' ansanm ak tou sa m' genyen.
5 And the messengers returned, and said, Thus hath said Ben-hadad, to say [to thee], I have indeed sent unto thee, saying, Thou shalt give unto me thy silver, and thy gold, and thy wives, and thy children;
Mesaje yo tounen ankò vin di Akab: -Men sa Bennadab voye di ou: M' te voye mande ou pou ou ban mwen tou sa ou gen an lò ak an ajan, tout madanm ak tout pitit gason ou yo.
6 Nevertheless, about this time tomorrow will I send my servants unto thee, and they shall search through thy house, and the houses of thy servants; and it shall be, that whatsoever is pleasant in thy eyes, they shall place it in their hand, and take it away.
Koulye a, denmen vè lè konsa, m'ap voye moun pa m' yo pou yo fouye palè ou la ak kay tout moun pa ou yo, pou yo pran tou sa y'a jwenn ki gen valè nan je yo.
7 Then did the king of Israel call for all the elders of the land, and said, Mark, I pray you, and see that this man seeketh mischief; for he hath sent unto me for my wives, and for my children, and for my silver, and for my gold, and I have not refused them to him.
Wa Akab fè rele tout chèf fanmi ki nan peyi a, li di yo konsa: -Jan nou wè l' la, nonm sa a soti pou l' pran tou sa nou genyen. Li te voye mande m' madanm mwen yo, pitit gason m' yo ak tout bagay an lò ak an ajan mwen genyen. Mwen pa refize l' anyen.
8 And all the elders and all the people said unto him, Thou must not hearken, nor consent.
Chèf fanmi yo ansanm ak pèp la di l' konsa: -Pa koute l', pa dakò avè l'!
9 Wherefore he said unto the messengers of Ben-hadad, Say to my lord the king, all that thou didst send for to thy servant at the first will I do; but this thing I am not able to do. And the messengers went away, and brought him word again.
Lè sa a, Akab di mesaje Bennadab yo: -Ale di mèt mwen, wa Bennadab, m' te dakò ak sa li te mande m' premye fwa a. Men, sa l' mande fwa sa a, m' pa ka fè l'. Mesaje yo pati, y' al pote repons lan bay Bennadad.
10 And Ben-hadad then sent unto him, and said, May the gods do so unto me, and continue to do so, if the dust of Samaria shall suffice for handfuls for all the people that are in my train.
Bennadab voye yo tounen al di Akab: -M'ap vini ak anpil moun pou m' kraze lavil Samari. p'ap gen ase demoli pou m' bay chak moun ki avè m' yo ti kras pou yo pote ale sitèlman y'ap anpil. Si m' pa fè sa, se pou bondye yo ban m' pi gwo pinisyon ki genyen
11 And the king of Israel answered and said, Speak, Let him that girdeth on the armor not boast himself as he that putteth it off.
Wa Akab voye reponn li: -Yon sòlda pa fèt pou l' ap vante tèt li anvan l' al goumen.
12 And it came to pass, when he heard this message, as he was drinking, he and the kings in the pavilions, that he said unto his servants, Get ready for the attack. And they got ready for the attack against the city.
Bennadad t'ap bwè ak lòt wa yo anba tant yo lè yo pote repons Akab la ba li. Lamenm, li bay moun pa l' yo lòd pou yo mache sou lavil Samari. Se konsa, y' al pare pou atake.
13 And, behold, there approached a certain prophet unto Achab the king of Israel, and said, Thus hath said the Lord, Hast thou seen all this great multitude? behold, I will deliver it into thy hand this day; and thou shalt know that I am the Lord.
Lè sa a, yon pwofèt Bondye vin jwenn Akab, li di l' konsa: -Men sa Seyè a voye di ou: Ou wè tout kantite sòlda sa yo? Enben, mwen pral lage yo nan men ou jòdi a, konsa w'a konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a.
14 And Achab said, By whom? And he said, Thus hath said the Lord, By means of the young men of the princes of the provinces. Then said he, Who shall order the battle? And he said, Thou.
Akab mande l': -Ki moun ou pral fè lage yo nan men m' jòdi a? Pwofèt la reponn li: -Seyè a voye di ou se jenn sòlda ki sou lòd gouvènè pwovens yo ki pral fè l'. Wa mande ankò: -Ki moun ki pral atake anvan? Pwofèt la reponn: -Ou menm.
15 He then numbered the young men of the princes of the provinces, and they were two hundred and thirty-two: and after them he numbered all the people, all the children of Israel, seven thousand strong.
Lamenm, wa a fè rele jenn sòlda ki te sou lòd gouvènè pwovens yo. Li jwenn desantrannde (232) sòlda antou. Apre sa, li fè rele tout lame pèp Izrayèl la, li jwenn sètmil (7.000) gason.
16 And they went out at midday; while Ben-hadad was drinking himself drunk in the pavilions, he and the kings, the thirty and two kings that helped him.
Vè midi, yo soti al atake pandan Bennadad ansanm ak trannde lòt wa ki t'ap mache avè l' yo t'ap bwè anba tant yo.
17 And the young men of the princes of the provinces went out at first; and Ben-hadad sent out, and they told him, saying, Some men are come out of Samaria.
Se jenn sòlda yo ki t'ap mache devan. Bennadad te voye al wè jan sa ye bò kay moun pèp Izrayèl yo. Yo vin di li yo wè yon gwoup sòlda ki t'ap soti lavil Samari.
18 And he said, If they be come out for peace, catch them alive; and if they be come out for war, alive must ye catch them.
Lè sa a, li di: -M' pa bezwen konnen si y'ap vin pou goumen osinon pou mande lapè, kenbe yo vivan mennen ban mwen.
19 So these, the young men of the princes of the provinces, came out of the city, with the army which followed them.
Jenn sòlda gouvènè yo soti nan lavil la pou al atake. Yo t'ap mache devan, rès lame a t'ap swiv yo.
20 And they slew every one his man; and the Syrians fled, and Israel pursued them: and Ben-hadad the king of Syria escaped on a horse with the horsemen.
Yo chak yo touye moun ki te vin pou goumen ak yo a. Moun peyi Siri yo pran kouri, moun Izrayèl yo menm t'ap kouri dèyè yo. Bennadad menm resi chape kò l' sou chwal ansanm ak kèk lòt kavalye.
21 And the king of Israel went out, and smote the horses and chariots, and inflicted on the Syrians a great defeat.
Wa Akab vin atake lè sa a, li touye chwal moun Siri yo, li kraze cha lagè yo. Li bat moun Siri yo byen bat.
22 And the prophet approached unto the king of Israel, and said unto him, Go, strengthen thyself, and mark, and see what thou hast to do; for at the return of the year the king of Syria will come up against thee.
Apre sa, pwofèt la al jwenn wa Akab, li di l' konsa: -Ou mèt tounen koulye a, mete lame ou la anfòm. Kalkile byen sou sa ou pral fè, paske nan ennan, dat pou dat, wa peyi Siri a ap tounen vin atake ou ankò.
23 And the servants of the king of Syria said unto him, Gods of the mountains are their gods; therefore they prevailed over us; but let us fight against them in the plain, [and see] whether we shall not prevail over them.
Chèf ki te avèk wa Bennadad yo vin di l': -Bondye pèp Izrayèl yo se bondye mòn yo ye. Se poutèt sa yo bat nou jan yo bat nou an. Men, si nou goumen ak yo nan tè plat, wè pa wè, n'ap bat yo.
24 But do this thing, Remove the kings, every one from his place, and appoint governors in their rooms;
Koulye a, men sa ou pral fè. Wete kòmandman an nan men lòt wa yo, mete chèf pa ou nan plas yo.
25 And thou, number for thyself an army, like the army that thou hast lost, horse for horse, and chariot for chariot: and we will fight against them in the plain, [and see] whether we shall prevail over them. And he hearkened unto their voice, and did so.
Ou menm ou pral moute yon gwo lame tankou lame ou pèdi a, ak menm kantite chwal ak cha lagè ou te gen anvan an. Nou pral goumen ak moun pèp Izrayèl yo nan plenn. W'ap wè fwa sa a n'ap bat yo. Wa Bennadad dakò, li fè sa chèf yo te di l' fè a.
26 And it came to pass at the return of the year, that Ben-hadad numbered the Syrians, and went up to Aphek, to the war with Israel.
Ennan apre, dat pou dat, li reyini tout sòlda moun peyi Siri yo, li mennen yo jouk lavil Afèk pou y' al atake moun peyi Izrayèl yo.
27 And the children of Israel were numbered, and provisioned, and went [out] against them: and the children of Israel encamped opposite to them like two little flocks of goats; but the Syrians filled the country.
Akab reyini tout lame pèp Izrayèl la, li ba yo zam ak pwovizyon. Yo soti al kontre moun Siri yo. Yo separe fè de gwoup, yo moute kan yo devan lame moun Siri yo. Sòlda peyi Izrayèl yo te sanble ak de ti bann kabrit devan lame moun Siri a menm ki te kouvri tout peyi a.
28 And there approached the man of God, and spoke unto the king of Israel, and said, Thus hath said the Lord, Forasmuch as the Syrians have said, “A God of the hills is the Lord, but he is not God of the valleys”: will I deliver all this great multitude into thy hand; and ye shall know that I am the Lord.
Yon pwofèt Bondye vin jwenn Akab, wa Izrayèl la, li di l' konsa: -Men mesaj Seyè a voye ba ou: Paske moun Siri yo di se yon bondye mòn mwen ye, mwen pa konn tè plat, mwen pral lage tout gwo lame sa a nan men ou. Konsa w'a konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a.
29 And they encamped one opposite the other for seven days. And it happened, that on the seventh day the battle took place: and the children of Israel smote the Syrians a hundred thousand men on foot in one day.
Pandan sèt jou, moun Siri yo ak moun Izrayèl yo rete nan kan yo, yonn anfas lòt. Sou setyèm jou a yo konmanse goumen. Moun Izrayèl yo touye sanmil (100.000) moun Siri.
30 But those that were left fled to Aphek, into the city; but the city-wall fell upon the twenty and seven thousand men that had been left. And Ben-hadad fled, and came into the city, into an innermost chamber.
Sa ki chape yo kouri ale lavil Afèk. Lè yo rive la, miray lavil la tonbe sou yo, li touye vennsètmil (27.000) sòlda ki te rete yo. Bennadad tou te chape kò l' nan lagè a. Li antre nan yon kay, l' al kache nan yon pyès jouk nan fon.
31 And his servants said unto him, Behold now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are kindly kings; let us, we pray thee, put sackcloth on our loins, and ropes upon our heads, and go out to the king of Israel; peradventure he may save thy life.
Moun pa l' yo vin jwenn li, yo di l' konsa: -Nou tande jan wa peyi Izrayèl yo se moun ki gen bon kè. Ban nou otorizasyon pou n' al jwenn wa peyi Izrayèl la. N'ap mete rad sak sou nou tankou moun yo fè prizonye. Ou pa janm konnen li ka sove lavi ou.
32 So they girded sackcloth on their loins, and ropes on their heads, and came to the king of Israel, and said, Thy servant Ben-hadad hath said, I pray thee, let me live. And he said, Is he yet alive? he is my brother.
Se konsa yo mete rad sak sou yo tankou moun ki nan lapenn, yo plòtonnen moso kòd nan kou yo, y' al jwenn Akab, yo di l' konsa: -Bennadad voye di ou, monwa, se esklav ou li ye. Tanpri, pa touye l'. Akab reponn: -An! Msye vivan toujou. Mwen byen kontan! Se yon frè li ye pou mwen wi!
33 Now the men took it for a good sign, and hastened and caught at his word, whether it was his earnest; and they said, Thy brother Ben-hadad! But he said, Go ye, bring him. Then came Ben-hadad forth to him; and he caused him to come up into the chariot.
Moun Bennadad yo pran sa pou yon bon siy, yo repete pawòl ki te fèk sot nan bouch wa a, yo di l' konsa: -Bennadad, se frè monwa! Akab reponn: -Al chache l' mennen ban mwen! Bennadad soti kote l' te ye a, li parèt devan Akab, Akab fè l' moute sou cha pa l' ansanm avè l'.
34 And he said unto him, The cities, which my father took from thy father, will I restore; and thou canst lay out for thyself streets in Damascus, as my father laid out in Samaria. “And I for my part will send thee away with this covenant.” So he made a covenant with him, and sent him away.
Bennadad di li: -M'ap renmèt ou tout lavil papa m' te pran nan men papa ou yo. Ou mèt louvri boutik nan lavil Damas pou vann, menm jan papa m' te fè l' lavil Samari. Akab reponn li: -Si se konsa, w'ap pase yon kontra avè m', mwen menm m'ap kite ou al fè wout ou. Akab pase yon kontra avèk Bennadad, lèfini li kite l' al fè wout li.
35 And a certain man of the sons of the prophets said unto his companion, By the word of the Lord, smite me, I pray thee. But the man refused to smite him.
Nan menm epòk sa a, Seyè a pale ak yon pwofèt nan gwoup pwofèt li yo. Li ba li lòd pou li mande yon lòt pwofèt ba l' kou. Men lòt pwofèt la derefize.
36 Then said he unto him, Forasmuch as thou hast not obeyed the voice of the Lord, behold, when thou goest away from me, a lion shall slay thee. And he went away from him, when a lion found him, and slew him.
Lè sa a, premye pwofèt la di l' konsa: -Poutèt ou derefize obeyi lòd Seyè a, separe n'a separe, yon lyon ap touye ou. Konsa vre, ale premye pwofèt la ale, yon lyon vin rive, li touye lòt pwofèt la.
37 Then he met with another man, and said, Smite me, I pray thee. And the man smote him, smiting and wounding [him].
Apre sa, premye pwofèt la kontre yon lòt moun, li mande l' pou li ba l' kou. Nonm lan frape l' byen fò, jouk li mete san l' deyò.
38 And the prophet then went, and placed himself before the king on the way, and disguised himself with a bandage over his eyes.
Lèfini, pwofèt la kouvri figi l' ak yon moso twal pou moun pa rekonèt li, l' al kanpe bò wout la ap tann wa a pase.
39 And as the king passed by, he cried unto the king, and said, Thy servant went out into the midst of the battle; and, behold, a man turned aside, and brought unto me a man, and said, Guard this man; if by any means he be missing, then shall thy life be [forfeit] for his life, or else thou shalt weigh me down a talent of silver.
Lè wa a vin ap pase, pwofèt la pran pale byen fò, li di konsa: -Monwa, mwen te nan mitan batay la, mwen t'ap goumen lè yon sòlda mennen yon lènmi li te fè prizonye. Li di m' konsa: Veye msye pou mwen. Si ou kite l' chape anba men ou, m'ap touye ou osinon w'ap peye twamil (3.000) pyès an ajan pou li.
40 But it happened as thy servant was Busy here and there, that he was gone. And the king of Israel said unto him, So is thy sentence: thou thyself hast decided it.
Men, monwa, pandan m' okipe ap fè lòt bagay, prizonye a sove. Wa Izrayèl la di l' konsa: -Se ou menm ki kondannen tèt ou, lèfini ou tou di sa ou gen pou peye pou sa ou fè a!
41 And he hastened, and removed the bandage from his eyes; and the king of Israel recognized him that he was one of the prophets.
Pwofèt la prese wete moso twal ki te bouche figi l' la. Lamenm wa a rekonèt se yonn nan pwofèt yo.
42 And he said unto him, Thus hath said the Lord, Because thou hast let go out of thy hand the man whom I had caught in my net, therefore shall thy life be the forfeit for his life, and thy people for his people.
Pwofèt la di wa a: -Men mesaj Seyè a voye di ou: Poutèt ou kite moun mwen te bay lòd pou yo touye a chape, se ou menm ki pral peye pou li. Ou pral mouri. Se lame ou ki pral peye pou lame pa l'. Yo pral mouri.
43 And the king of Israel went to his house low-spirited and displeased, and he came to Samaria.
Se konsa, wa peyi Izrayèl la tounen lakay li lavil Samari, li te boulvèse, men li byen mare.
