< 1 Kings 22 >
1 And there continued three years without war between Syria and Israel.
Twazan te pase san gen lagè antre Syrie avèk Israël.
2 But it came to pass, in the third year, that Jehoshaphat king of Judah went down unto the king of Israel.
Nan twazyèm ane Josaphat a, wa Juda a te desann kote wa Israël 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?
Alò, wa Israël la te di a sèvitè li yo: “Èske nou konnen ke Ramoth-Galaad apatyen a nou menm e jiska prezan, nou p ap fè anyen pou rache li nan men wa Syrie a.”
4 And he said unto Jehoshaphat, Wilt thou go with me to make war upon Ramoth-gilead?
Epi li te di a Josaphat: “Èske ou va ale avèk mwen nan batay a Ramoth-Galaad la?” Josaphat te di a wa Israël la: “Mwen tankou ou menm, pèp mwen an tankou pèp pa w la, cheval mwen yo tankou cheval pa ou yo.”
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.
Anplis, Josaphat te di a wa Israël la: “Souple, fè demann premyèman selon pawòl SENYÈ a.”
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.
Alò wa Israël la te rasanble pwofèt yo ansanm, anviwon kat-san mesye. Li te di yo: “Èske mwen dwe ale kont Ramoth-Galaad nan batay la, oswa èske mwen dwe fè bak?” Yo te di: “Ale monte, paske SENYÈ a va bay li nan men a wa a.”
7 Then said Jehoshaphat, Is there not here a prophet of Yahweh, besides, —that we may seek, from him?
Men Josaphat te di: “Èske pa gen yon pwofèt SENYÈ a ki la pou nou kab mande li?”
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.
Wa Israël la te di a Josaphat: “Genyen toujou yon nonm pa sila nou kapab fè demann SENYÈ a, men mwen rayi li, akoz li pa pwofetize sa ki bon pou mwen, men sa ki mal. Michée, fis a Jimla a.” Men Josaphat te di: “Pa kite wa a di sa.”
9 Then the king of Israel called a certain courtier, —and said, Hasten Micaiah son of Imlah.
Wa Israël la te rele yon ofisye e te di: “Mennen byen vit Michée, fis a Jimla a.”
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;
Alò, wa Israël la avèk Josaphat, wa Juda a te chita chak sou pwòp twòn pa yo, abiye an wòb pa yo nan pòtay pou antre Samarie a, epi tout pwofèt yo t ap pwofetize devan 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.
Alò Sédécias, fis a Kenaana a te fè kòn yo an fè pou kont li, e te di: “Konsa pale SENYÈ a: ‘Avèk sila yo, ou va frape Siryen yo jiskaske yo fin detwi.’”
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 pwofèt yo t ap pwofetize konsa e t ap di: “Ale monte Ramoth-Galaad e byen reyisi; paske SENYÈ a va mete li nan men wa a.”
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 a ki te ale rele Michée te pale li. Li te di: “Koulye a, gade byen, tout pawòl a pwofèt yo favorab anvè wa a. Souple, kite pawòl ou yo fèt tankou pawòl a youn nan yo, e pale avèk favè.”
14 And Micaiah said, —By the life of Yahweh, what Yahweh saith unto me, that, will I, speak.
Men Michée te di: “Jan SENYÈ a viv la, sa ke SENYÈ a pale mwen an, se sa mwen va pale.”
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 li te vin kote wa a, wa a te di li: “Michée, èske nou dwe ale Ramoth-Galaad nan batay la, oswa èske nou dwe fè bak?” Konsa, li te reponn li: “Ale monte e byen reyisi e SENYÈ a va bay li nan men wa a.”
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?
Alò, wa a te di li: “Konbyen de tan èske mwen oblije di ou pou pa pale anyen avè m sof ke laverite nan non SENYÈ a?”
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.
Pou sa, li te di: “Mwen te wè tout Israël gaye sou mòn yo, tankou mouton ki san bèje. Konsa, SENYÈ a te di: ‘Sila yo pa gen mèt. Kite yo chak retounen lakay yo anpè.’”
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.
Epi wa Israël la te di a Josaphat: “Èske mwen pa t di ou ke li pa t ap fè bon pwofesi pou mwen, men pito move?”
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.
Michée te di: “Pou sa, tande pawòl SENYÈ a. Mwen te wè SENYÈ a te chita sou twòn Li e tout lame syèl la te kanpe akote Li adwat Li e agoch 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.
SENYÈ a te di: ‘Kilès k ap sedwi Achab pou ale monte e tonbe Ramoth-Galaad?’ Epi youn te di sesi e youn te di sela.”
21 Then came forth a spirit, and stood before Yahweh, and said—I, will persuade him.
Alò, yon lespri te parèt devan SENYÈ a e te di: “Mwen va sedwi 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.
SENYÈ a te di li: “Kijan?” Epi li te reponn: “Mwen va sòti deyò pou devni yon lespri twonpè nan bouch a tout pwofèt li yo.” Epi Li te di: “Ou gen non sèlman pou sedwi li, men pou vin genyen li nèt. Ale fè sa.”
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.
“Alò, pou sa, gade byen, SENYÈ a te mete yon lespri twonpè nan bouch a tout pwofèt pa ou yo; epi SENYÈ a te pwoklame dega nèt kont 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?
Konsa, Sédécias, fis a Kenaana a te vin toupre e te frape Michée sou machwè li. Li te di: “Kijan lespri SENYÈ a te pase sòti nan mwen pou pale avèk ou?”
25 Then said Micaiah, Lo! thou art about to see, on that day, —when thou enterest a chamber within a chamber, to hide thyself.
Michée te di: “Gade byen, ou va wè sa nan jou lè ou antre nan yon chanm a lenteryè pou kache kò w.”
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;
Alò, wa Israël la te di: “Pran Michée e retounen li vè majistra lavil la ak Joas, fis a 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.
epi di li: ‘Konsa pale wa a: “Mete nonm sa a nan prizon a e bay li tikras pen ak dlo sèlman kòm manje jiskaske mwen retounen san mal pa rive m.”’”
28 Then said Micaiah, If thou, return, in peace, Yahweh hath not spoken by me. And he said, Hear, ye peoples, all of you!
Michée te di: “Si ou, anverite, retounen san ke mal pa rive, SENYÈ a pa t fè m pale.” Epi li te di: “Koute, tout pèp nou an!”
29 So the king of Israel went up, with Jehoshaphat king of Judah, unto Ramoth-gilead.
Konsa, wa Israël la avèk Josaphat, wa Juda a, te monte kont Ramoth-Galaad.
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.
Wa Israël la te di a Josaphat: “Mwen va kache idantite mwen e antre nan batay la, men ou menm, mete vètman pa ou.” Konsa, wa Israël la te kache idantite li e te antre nan batay la.
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.
Alò, wa Syrie a te kòmande trann-de kapitèn a cha li yo. Li te di: “Pa goumen avèk piti ni gran, men sèlman avèk wa Israël 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.
Konsa, lè kapitèn a cha yo te wè Josaphat, yo te di: “Anverite, sa se wa Israël la,” epi yo te vire akote pou goumen kont li e Josaphat te kriye fò.
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 kapitèn a cha yo te wè ke li pa t wa Israël la, yo te rale bak e te sispann swiv li.
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.
Alò, yon sèten nonm te rale banza li pa aza e te frape wa Israël la. Flèch la te antre nan yon kwen nan vètman pwotèj la. Konsa, li te di chofè cha li a: “Retounen fè bak e retire mwen nan batay la, paske mwen blese byen sevè.”
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.
Batay la te boule rèd pandan jou sa a. Yo te soutni wa a pou l kanpe nan cha li devan Siryen yo, e nan leswa a, li te mouri. San a te soti nan blesi a pou l antre nan enteryè cha a.
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!
Epi yon kri te sòti toupatou nan lame a nan lè solèy kouche a. Yo te di: “Chak moun rive nan vil li, e chak mesye nan pwòp peyi pa l.”
37 So the king died, and was brought into Samaria, —and they buried the king, in Samaria.
Konsa, wa a te mouri. Yo te mennen l Samarie, epi yo te antere wa a Samarie.
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.
Yo te lave cha a akote sous dlo Samarie a, e chen yo te niche san li nan kote pwostitiye yo te konn benyen, selon pawòl SENYÈ a te pale 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?
Alò, tout lòt zèv a Achab yo avèk tout sa ke li te fè ak kay ivwa ke li te konstwi a ak tout vil ke li te bati yo, èske yo pa ekri nan Liv Kwonik a Wa Israël yo?
40 So Ahab slept with his fathers, —and, Ahaziah his son, reigned, in his stead.
Konsa, Achab te dòmi avèk zansèt pa li yo, e Achazia, fis li a, te devni wa nan plas li.
41 Now, Jehoshaphat son of Asa, began to reign over Judah, —in the fourth year of Ahab, king of Israel.
Alò Josaphat, fis Asa a, te devni wa sou Juda nan Katriyèm ane Achab, wa Israël la.
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.
Josaphat te gen trann-senk ane lè li te devni wa, e li te renye pandan venn-senk ane Jérusalem. Epi non manman li se te Azuba, fi a Schilchi a.
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.
Li te mache nan chemen Asa, papa li. Li pa t vire akote e li te fè sa ki te dwat nan zye SENYÈ a. Sepandan, wo plas yo pa t retire. Pèp la te toujou fè sakrifis e te brile lansan sou wo plas yo.
44 And Jehoshaphat made peace with the king of Israel.
Josaphat osi te fè lapè avèk wa Israël 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?
Alò, tout lòt zèv a Josaphat yo, avèk pwisans ke li te montre ak jan li te fè lagè, èske yo pa ekri nan liv Kwonik a Wa a Juda yo?
46 Moreover, the rest of the male devotees who remained in the days of Asa his father, he consumed out of the land.
Retay a sadomit ki te rete nan jou papa li yo, Asa, li te fè ekzile yo sòti nan peyi a.
47 And, king, was there none in Edom, a prefect, was king.
Alò, pa t gen wa nan Édom. Se yon depite ki te wa.
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.
Josaphat te fè bato a Tarsis yo vwayaje a Ophir pou lò, men yo pa t rive, paske bato yo te kraze kote Etsjon-Guéber.
49 Then, said Ahaziah son of Ahab, unto Jehoshaphat, Let, my servants, go with, thy servants, in the ships, —but Jehoshaphat did not consent.
Alò, Achazia, fis Achab la, te di a Josaphat: “Kite sèvitè mwen yo ale avèk sèvitè ou yo nan bato yo.” Men Josaphat pa t dakò.
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.
Konsa, Josaphat te dòmi avèk zansèt pa li yo e te antere avèk zansèt li yo nan vil a papa li a, David e Joram, fis li a, te renye 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.
Achazia, fis a Achab la te devni wa nan plas li.
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 te fè mal nan zye SENYÈ a e li te mache nan chemen papa li, nan chemen manman l ak nan chemen Jéroboam, fis a Nebath la, ki te fè Israël peche a.
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.
Konsa, li te sèvi Baal, li te adore li e te pwovoke SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la, a lakòlè, selon tout sa ke papa li te konn fè yo.
