< 2 Kings 3 >

1 And Jehoram the son of Achab became king over Israel in Samaria in the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, and he 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 did what is evil in the eyes of the Lord; but not like his father, and like his mother; and he removed the statue of Ba'al which 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 unto the sins of Jerobo'am the son of Nebat, who had induced Israel to sin, did he cleave: 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' the king of Moab was a sheepmaster, and rendered as tribute unto the king of Israel a hundred thousand lambs, and a 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 And it came to pass, when Achab 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 at that 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 as thyself, my people as thy people, 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 said, 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 with the king of Judah, and the king of Edom: and they took a circuitous route, a seven days' journey; and there was no water for the camp, and for the cattle that followed in their train.
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 the Lord hath called these three kings, 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 the Lord, that we may inquire of the Lord from him? And there answered one of the king of Israel's servants and said, Here is Elisha' the son of Shaphat, who poured water on the hands of Elijah.
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 the Lord is with him. And there went down to him the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and the king of Edom.
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? go to the prophets of thy father, and to the prophets of thy mother. And the king of Israel said unto him, Not so; for the Lord hath called these three kings, 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 the Lord of hosts liveth, before whom I have stood, 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 musician. And it came to pass, when the musician played, that the inspiration of the Lord 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 hath said the Lord, Make this valley full of ditches.
Li te di: “Konsa di SENYÈ a: ‘Fè vale sila a vin ranpli avèk kanal.’
17 For thus hath said the Lord, Ye shall not perceive wind, nor shall ye see rain; yet this valley shall be filled with water, that ye may drink, yourselves, and your flocks, and your cattle.
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 yet too light a thing in the eyes of the Lord; and he will also deliver the Moabites 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 fortified city, and every choice city, and every good tree shall ye fell, and all springs of water shall ye stop, and every good piece of land shall ye spoil 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, at the time when the meat-offering is offered, that, behold, there came water by the way from Edom, and the country was filled with the 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 were called together from every one who was girded with a sword, and upward, and they posted themselves on 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 when they rose up early in the morning, and the sun shone upon the water, the Moabites saw the water at a distance 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 have certainly had a contest among themselves, and they have smitten one another: and now, up to the spoil, Moab.
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 But when they came to the camp of Israel, the Israelites rose up and smote the Moabites, so that they fled before them; and they smote the Moabites completely, even in their own 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 the cities they pulled down, and into every good piece of land they cast every man his stone, and filled it up, and every spring of water they stopped, and every good tree they felled, until they left only its stones in Kir-chareseth, and this the slingers encompassed 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 strong for him, he took with him seven hundred men that drew the sword, to break through 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 took he 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 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.
