1 Kings 22
1 And there continued three years without war between Syria and Israel.
Pandan twazan, pa t' gen lagè ant peyi Izrayèl ak peyi Siri.
2 But it came to pass, in the third year, that Jehoshaphat king of Judah went down unto the king of Israel.
Men nan twazyèm lanne a, Jozafa, wa peyi Jida a, al vizite Akab, wa peyi Izrayèl la.
3 And the king of Israel said unto his servants, Know ye that, ours, is Ramoth-gilead, —yet, we, are too idle to take it out of the hand of the king of Syria?
Wa Izrayèl la di chèf li yo: -Nou konnen lavil Ramòt ki nan peyi Galarad la se pou nou li ye. Poukisa nou pa fè anyen pou nou reprann li nan men wa peyi Siri a?
4 And he said unto Jehoshaphat, Wilt thou go with me to make war upon Ramoth-gilead?
Lèfini li mande Jozafa: -Eske w'ap vin avè m' pou atake lavil Ramòt nan peyi Galarad la? Jozafa reponn li: -Mwen menm ak tout sòlda mwen yo ak kavalye mwen yo, nou avè ou ansanm ak pèp ou a: se yonn lan nou ye.
5 And Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Israel, I am as thou art, my people are us thy people, my horses as thy horses.
Apre sa, Jozafa di Akab, wa peyi Izrayèl la: -Annou mande Seyè a sa li di nan sa.
6 Then said Jehoshaphat unto the king of Israel, —Seek, I pray thee, at once, the word of Yahweh. So the king of Israel gathered together the prophets, about four hundred men, and said unto them—Shall I go against Ramoth-gilead, to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said—Go up, that the Lord may deliver it into the hand of the king.
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? Yo reponn li: -Atake l', monwa! Seyè a ap lage l' nan men ou.
7 Then said Jehoshaphat, Is there not here a prophet of Yahweh, besides, —that we may seek, from 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 vre?
8 And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, Besides, is a certain man, by whom we might seek Yahweh, but, I, hate him, for he is never moved to prophesy concerning me anything good, only evil, Micaiah, son of Imlah. 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 pou bon pou mwen. Li toujou wè malè pou mwen. Jozafa reponn: -Pa di sa, monchè!
9 Then the king of Israel called a certain courtier, —and said, Hasten Micaiah son of Imlah.
Se konsa Akab rele yonn nan nèg konfyans li yo, li di li: -Prese al chache Miche, pitit gason Jimla a, pou mwen.
10 Now, the king of Israel, and Jehoshaphat king of Judah, were sitting—each man upon his throne, having put on robes, in a level place, at the entrance of the gate of Samaria, —and, all the prophets, were being moved to prophesy 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.
11 when Zedekiah son of Chenaanah made himself horns of iron, —and said—Thus, saith Yahweh, —With these, shalt thou push down the Syrians, until thou hast consumed them.
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.
12 And, all the prophets, were being moved to prophesy, in like manner, saying, —Go up to Ramoth-gilead, and thou shalt prosper, and Yahweh will 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.
13 Now, the messenger who went to call Micaiah, spake unto him, saying, Behold, I pray thee, the words of the prophets, with one mouth, are good, as touching the king, let thy word, I pray thee, be as the word of one of them, so wilt thou speak that which is good.
Mesaje ki te pati al rele Miche a di Miche konsa: -Tout lòt pwofèt yo te pale anfavè wa a. Ranje kò ou pou pale tankou yo tout. Pale anfavè wa a.
14 And Micaiah said, —By the life of Yahweh, what Yahweh saith unto me, 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.
15 So he came unto the king, and the king said unto him, Micaiah, shall we go against Ramoth-gilead to battle, or shall we forbear? And he said unto him—Go up and prosper, and Yahweh will deliver it into the hand of the king.
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 sè pou m' kite sa? Miche reponn: -Ou mèt al atake Ramòt nan peyi Galarad. W'ap bon. Seyè a ap lage lavil la nan men ou.
16 And the king said unto him, How many times must, I, adjure thee, —that thou speak unto me nothing but truth, in the name of Yahweh?
Men Akab di li: -Konbe fwa pou m' di ou lè w'ap pale avè m' nan non Seyè a se pou di m' laverite?
17 And he said—I saw all Israel, scattered among the mountains, like sheep that have no shepherd, —so Yahweh said, These have, no masters, let them return every man unto his own house, in peace.
Lè sa a, Miche reponn li: -Mwen wè tout sòlda pèp Izrayèl yo gaye toupatou sou mòn yo, tankou yon bann mouton san gadò. Seyè a di: Moun sa yo san chèf. Kite yo tounen lakay yo ak kè poze.
18 Then said the king of Israel, unto Jehoshaphat, —Did I not say unto thee, He will not be moved to prophesy concerning me anything good, only calamity.
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.
19 Then he said, Therefore, hear thou the word of Yahweh, —I saw Yahweh, sitting upon his throne, and all the host of the heavens, standing by him, 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.
20 And Yahweh said, Who will persuade Ahab, that he may go up and fall, at Ramoth-gilead? And, one, said in this manner, and, another, said in that manner.
Seyè a t'ap mande ki moun ki vle al pran tèt Akab pou l' al fè yo touye l' lavil Ramòt. Gen zanj ki di yon bagay, gen lòt zanj ki di yon lòt bagay.
21 Then came forth a spirit, and stood before Yahweh, and said—I, will persuade him.
Se lè sa a, yon lespri vanse devan Seyè a, li di: Mwen pral pran tèt li.
22 And Yahweh said unto him—Wherewith? And he said—I will go forth, and become a spirit of falsehood in the mouth of all his prophets, —So he said, —Thou mayest persuade, yea and prevail, go forth, and do 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.
23 Now, therefore, lo! Yahweh hath suffered a spirit of falsehood to be put into the mouth of all these thy prophets. But, Yahweh himself, hath spoken concerning thee, calamity.
Koulye a, ou konnen si Seyè a te mete yon lespri mantò sou pwofèt ou yo pou yo ba ou manti, se paske li pran desizyon pou l' fini avè ou.
24 Then drew near Zedekiah, son of Chenaanah, and smote Micaiah on the cheek, —and said—Where then passed the Spirit of Yahweh, from me, to speak unto thee?
Lè sa a, Sedesyas, pitit 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?
25 Then said Micaiah, Lo! thou art about to see, on that day, —when thou enterest a chamber within a chamber, to hide thyself.
Miche reponn li: -W'a konn sa lè w'a kouri pase soti nan yon chanm antre nan yon lòt pou al kache jouk nan fon!
26 And the king of Israel said, Take Micaiah, and carry him back unto Amon captain of the city, —and unto Joash son of the king;
Se konsa, wa Akab pase yon lòd, li di: -Pran Miche. Mennen l' bay Amon, gouvènè lavil la, ak Joas, pitit wa a.
27 and thou shalt say—Thus, saith the king, Put this man into the prison, —and let him eat the bread of oppression, with the water of oppression, until I enter 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 ni malè.
28 Then said Micaiah, If thou, return, in peace, Yahweh hath not spoken by me. And he said, Hear, ye peoples, all of you!
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!
29 So the king of Israel went up, with Jehoshaphat king of Judah, unto Ramoth-gilead.
Se konsa Akab, wa peyi Izrayèl la ansanm ak Jozafa, wa peyi Jida a, moute al atake lavil Ramòt nan peyi Galarad.
30 And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat—I am about to disguise myself, and enter into the battle, thou, therefore, put on thy robes. So the king of Israel disguised himself, and entered into 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 menm, 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, l' al goumen.
31 Now, the king of Syria, had commanded the captains of chariots which he had, thirty and two, saying, Ye shall not fight with small or great, —save with the king of Israel alone.
Men, wa peyi Siri a te bay trannde chèf ki t'ap kòmande cha lagè yo pou yo pa atake pesonn pase wa peyi Izrayèl la.
32 And it came to pass, when the chariot-captains saw Jehoshaphat, that, they, said: Surely it is, the king of Israel! But, when they turned aside against him to fight, Jehoshaphat cried out.
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 atake l'. Men, Jozafa rele anmwe.
33 And it came to pass, when the chariot-captains saw that it was, not the king of Israel, that they turned back, from pursuing him.
Lè mesye yo tande sa, yo wè se pa t' wa peyi Izrayèl la. Yo rete sou sa yo te vle fè a.
34 But, a certain man, drawing a bow in his innocence, smote the king of Israel, between the shoulder-joints and the coat of mail, —wherefore he said to his charioteer—Turn thy hand, and convey me out of the host, for I am sore wounded.
Lè sa a, yon sòlda peyi Siri a 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.
35 But the battle increased that day, and, the king, was propped up in the chariot, before the Syrians, —and died in the evening, and so the blood of the wound ran out into the hollow of the chariot.
Jou sa a, batay la te makònen anpil. Wa Akab menm te blije rete kanpe sou cha li a ap gade moun peyi Siri yo. San t'ap koule soti kote li te blese a, li sal tout anndan cha a. Rive aswè, li mouri.
36 And a loud cry went through the host, at the going in of the sun, saying—Every man to his own city! and every man to his own land!
Lè solèy pral kouche, yon vwa pran pale nan zòrèy sòlda pèp Izrayèl yo, li t'ap di: -Chak moun al nan peyi yo, chak moun al lakay yo,
37 So the king died, and was brought into Samaria, —and they buried the king, in Samaria.
paske wa a mouri. Apre sa, yo mennen kadav wa a lavil Samari. Se la yo antere l'.
38 And, when the chariot was washed out at the pool of Samaria, the dogs lapped up his blood, also, the harlots, bathed [there], —according to the word of Yahweh which he had spoken.
Y' al lave cha wa a nan basen Samari a, kote jennès yo konn al benyen an. Chen vin niche san Akab la jan Seyè a te di sa t'ap rive a.
39 Now, the rest of the story of Ahab, and all that he did, and the house of ivory that he built, and all the cities that he built, are, they, not written in the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Israel?
Tout rès istwa Akab la ansanm ak tou sa li te fè, bèl palè ivwa ak lavil li te bati yo, n'a jwenn tou sa ekri nan liv Istwa wa peyi Izrayèl yo.
40 So Ahab slept with his fathers, —and, Ahaziah his son, reigned, in his stead.
Lè Akab mouri, se pitit li, Okozyas ki moute wa nan plas li.
41 Now, Jehoshaphat son of Asa, began to reign over Judah, —in the fourth year of Ahab, king of Israel.
Akab te gen katran depi li t'ap gouvènen peyi Izrayèl la lè Jozafa, pitit Asa a, moute sou fotèy wa peyi Jida a.
42 Jehoshaphat, was thirty-five years old when he began to reign, and, twenty-five years, reigned he in Jerusalem, —and, the name of his mother, was Azubah, daughter of Shilhi.
Lè sa a, li te gen trannsenkan sou tèt li. Li pase vennsenkan ap gouvènen lavil Jerizalèm. Manman li te rele Azouba. Se te pitit fi Chilki.
43 And he walked in all the way of Asa his father, he turned not aside therefrom, —doing that which was right in the eyes of Yahweh: nevertheless, the high places, were not taken away, —still were the people offering sacrifices and burning incense in the high places.
Jozafa li menm te swiv Asa, papa l', pye pou pye nan tou sa l' te fè. Li te fè sa ki dwat devan Seyè a. Tansèlman, tanp zidòl yo te la toujou nan peyi a, kifè pèp la pa t' sispann fè sèvis, touye bèt pou zidòl yo.
44 And Jehoshaphat made peace with the king of Israel.
Jozafa te siyen lapè ak wa peyi Izrayèl la.
45 Now, the rest of the story of Jehoshaphat, and his might that he shewed, and how he warred, are, they, not written in the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Judah?
n'a jwenn rès istwa Jozafa a nan liv Istwa wa peyi Jida yo. Se la yo rakonte jan li te yon vanyan sòlda, ak tout lagè li te fè yo,
46 Moreover, the rest of the male devotees who remained in the days of Asa his father, he consumed out of the land.
jan li disparèt rès gason ak fanm ki t'ap fè jennès nan kay zidòl yo toujou depi sou rèy Asa, papa l'.
47 And, king, was there none in Edom, a prefect, was king.
(Lè sa a, pa t' gen wa nan peyi Edon. Se yon gouvènè wa Jida a te mete pou gouvènen yo.)
48 Jehoshaphat, made ships of Tarshish, to go to Ophir, for gold; but they went not, —for ships had been broken to pieces in Ezion-geber.
Jozafa te fè fè kèk gwo batiman, tankou batiman moun Tasis yo, pou al chache lò nan peyi Ofi. Men, batiman yo pa janm rive al fè vwayaj la, paske yo kraze bò Ezyongebè.
49 Then, said Ahaziah son of Ahab, unto Jehoshaphat, Let, my servants, go with, thy servants, in the ships, —but Jehoshaphat did not consent.
Lè sa a, Okozyas, pitit Akab la, ofri pou maren peyi Izrayèl yo ale ansanm ak maren peyi Jida yo sou batiman pa yo. Men, Jozafa derefize.
50 So Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers, in the city of David his father, —and, Jehoram his son, reigned, in his stead.
Lè Jozafa mouri, yo antere l' nan Lavil David, zansèt li a. Se pitit li, Joram, ki moute sou fotèy la nan plas li.
51 Ahaziah son of Ahab, began to reign over Israel, in Samaria, in the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, —and reigned over Israel, two years.
Jozafa t'ap mache sou disetan depi li te wa peyi Jida a, lè Okozyas, pitit Akab, moute sou fotèy wa peyi Izrayèl la. Li pase dezan ap gouvènen peyi Izrayèl la lavil Samari.
52 And he did the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, —and went in the way of his father, and in the way of his mother, and in the way of Jeroboam son of Nebat, who caused, Israel, to sin.
Li fè sa ki mal nan je Seyè a. Li swiv egzanp papa l' ak manman l'. Li fè tankou Jewoboram, pitit gason Nebat la, ki te lakòz moun pèp Izrayèl yo fè sa ki mal.
53 Yea he served Baal, and bowed down to him, —and provoked to anger Yahweh, God of Israel, according to all that his father had done.
Li sèvi Baal, li adore l' tankou papa l' te fè a. Se konsa li te fè Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, fache anpil.
