1 Kings 19
1 And Ahab declares to Jezebel all that Elijah did, and all of how he slew all the prophets by the sword,
Alò, Achab te di Jizréel tout sa ke Élie te fè ak jan li te touye tout pwofèt yo avèk nepe.
2 and Jezebel sends a messenger to Elijah, saying, “Thus the gods do, and thus do they add—surely about this time tomorrow, I make your life as the life of one of them.”
Epi Jizréel te voye yon mesaje kote Élie. Li te di: “Konsa ke dye yo fè m sa e menm plis si mwen pa fè lavi ou tankou youn nan sa yo avan demen vè menm lè sa a.”
3 And he fears, and rises, and goes for his life, and comes to Beer-Sheba, that [is] Judah’s, and leaves his young man there,
Epi Élie te vin pè, e li te leve kouri pou sove lavi li. Li te rive nan Beer-Schéba, ki pou Juda a, e li te kite sèvitè li a la.
4 and he himself has gone a day’s journey into the wilderness, and comes and sits under a certain broom tree, and desires his soul to die, and says, “Enough, now, O YHWH, take my soul, for I [am] not better than my fathers.”
Men li menm te vwayaje pandan yon jou antre nan dezè a, pou l te rive chita anba yon bwa pikan. Konsa, li te fè demann pou l ta mouri e te di: “Sa se kont! Koulye a, O SENYÈ, pran lavi mwen; paske mwen pa pi bon ke zansèt mwen yo.”
5 And he lies down and sleeps under a certain broom tree, and behold, a messenger is reaching toward him and says to him, “Rise, eat”;
Li te kouche dòmi anba bwa pikan an. Epi vwala, te gen yon zanj ki touche li. Li te di: “Leve, manje!”
6 and he looks attentively, and behold, at his bolster [is] a cake [on] burning stones, and a dish of water, and he eats, and drinks, and turns, and lies down.
Li te gade, e vwala, te gen bò tèt li yon gato pen wòch cho, ak yon veso dlo. Konsa, li te manje, bwè e te kouche ankò.
7 And the messenger of YHWH turns back a second time, and is reaching toward him, and says, “Rise, eat, for the way is too great for you”;
Zanj Bondye a te vini ankò yon dezyèm fwa, li te touche li e te di: “Leve, manje, paske vwayaj la twò gran pou ou.”
8 and he rises, and eats, and drinks, and goes in the power of that food [for] forty days and forty nights, to the mountain of God—Horeb.
Konsa, li te leve. Li te manje e bwè, epi li te ale ak fòs manje sa a pandan karant jou ak karant nwit pou rive Horeb, mòn Bondye a.
9 And he comes in there, to the cave, and lodges there, and behold, the word of YHWH [is] to him, and says to him, “What are you [doing] here, Elijah?”
Alò, li te rive la nan yon kav e li te rete ladann. Epi vwala, pawòl Bondye a te vini sou li, e Li te di li: “Kisa w ap fè isit la, Élie?”
10 And he says, “I have been very zealous for YHWH, God of Hosts, for the sons of Israel have forsaken Your covenant—they have thrown down Your altars, and they have slain Your prophets by the sword, and I am left, I, by myself, and they seek my life—to take it.”
Li te di: “Mwen te tèlman ranpli avèk zèl pou SENYÈ a, Bondye dèzame yo, pwiske fis Israël yo te abandone akò Ou a, yo te dechire lotèl Ou yo, e te touye pwofèt Ou yo avèk nepe. Epi se mwen sèl ki rete, e y ap chache lavi m pou pran l.”
11 And He says, “Go out, and you have stood on the mountain before YHWH.” And behold, YHWH is passing by, and a wind—great and strong—is tearing mountains, and shattering rocks before YHWH, [but] YHWH [is] not in the wind; and after the wind [is] a shaking, [but] YHWH [is] not in the shaking;
Pou sa, Li te di: “Ale kanpe sou mòn nan devan SENYÈ a.” Epi veye byen, SENYÈ a t ap pase! Yon gwo van fò t ap boulvèse mòn yo e t ap chire wòch yo an mòso devan SENYÈ a. Men SENYÈ a pa t nan van an. Epi apre van an, yon tranbleman detè, men SENYÈ a pa t nan tranbleman detè a.
12 and after the shaking [is] a fire, [but] YHWH [is] not in the fire; and after the fire [is] a voice [like] a small whisper;
Apre van an yon dife, men SENYÈ a pa t nan dife a. Epi apre dife a, yon ti bwi tankou yon souf lejè.
13 and it comes to pass, at Elijah’s hearing [it], that he wraps his face in his robe, and goes out, and stands at the opening of the cave, and behold, a voice [speaks] to him, and it says, “What are you [doing] here, Elijah?”
Lè Élie te tande l, li te fin vlope figi li nan manto li a e li te ale deyò nan antre kav la. Epi vwala, yon vwa te parèt a li menm e te di: “Kisa w ap fè isit la, Élie?”
14 And he says, “I have been very zealous for YHWH, God of Hosts; for the sons of Israel have forsaken Your covenant, they have thrown down Your altars, and they have slain Your prophets by the sword, and I am left, I, by myself, and they seek my life—to take it.”
Epi li te di: “Mwen te tèlman ranpli avèk zèl pou SENYÈ a, Bondye dèzame yo, paske fis Israël yo te abandone akò Ou a, dechire lotèl Ou yo e te touye pwofèt Ou yo avèk nepe. Epi se mwen sèl ki rete; epi y ap chache lavi mwen pou pran l.”
15 And YHWH says to him, “Go, return on your way to the wilderness of Damascus, and you have gone in, and anointed Hazael for king over Aram,
SENYÈ a te di li: “Ale, retounen sou chemen ou vè dezè Damas la, e lè ou fin rive, ou va onksyone Hazaël wa sou Syrie;
16 and you anoint Jehu son of Nimshi for king over Israel, and you anoint Elisha son of Shaphat, of Abel-Meholah, for prophet in your stead.
epi Jéhu, fis Nimschi a, ou va onksyone wa sou Israël; epi Élisée, fis a Schaphath a nan Abel-Mehola a, ou va onksyone li kòm pwofèt nan plas ou.
17 And it has been, he who has escaped from the sword of Hazael, Jehu puts to death, and he who has escaped from the sword of Jehu, Elisha puts to death;
Li va vin rive ke sila ki chape anba nepe Hazaël la, Jéhu va mete l a lanmò e sila ki chape anba nepe a Jéhu a, Élisée va mete l a lanmò.
18 and I have left in Israel seven thousand—all the knees that have not bowed to Ba‘al, and every mouth that has not kissed him.”
Sepandan, Mwen va kite sèt-mil an Israël, tout jenou ki pa t bese a Baal e tout bouch ki pa t konn bo li.”
19 And he goes there, and finds Elisha son of Shaphat, and he is plowing; twelve yoke [are] before him, and he [is] with the twelfth; and Elijah passes over to him, and casts his robe at him,
Konsa, li te kite la e te twouve Élisée, fis a Schaphath la, pandan li t ap raboure avèk douz pè bèf devan li, li menm avèk douzyèm nan. Epi Élie te pase bò kote li e te jete manto li sou li.
20 and he forsakes the ox, and runs after Elijah, and says, “Please let me give a kiss to my father and to my mother, and I go after you.” And he says to him, “Go, turn back, for what have I done to you?”
Li te kite bèf yo e te kouri dèyè Élie. Li te di: “Souple, kite m bo papa m avèk manman m e mwen va swiv ou.” Epi li te di li: “Ale, retounen, paske kisa ke m te fè ou?”
21 And he turns back from after him, and takes the yoke of the ox, and sacrifices it, and with [the] instruments of the ox he has boiled its flesh, and gives to the people, and they eat, and he rises, and goes after Elijah, and serves him.
Konsa, li te retounen soti swiv li, li te pran pè bèf la e li te fè sakrifis avèk yo, li te bouyi chè avèk dife fèt ak zouti bèf e li te bay a pèp la pou yo te manje. Epi li te leve, li te swiv Élie pou te sèvi li.
