2 Kings 10
1 Now, Ahab, had seventy sons in Samaria, —so Jehu wrote letters, and sent to Samaria, unto the rulers of Jezreel—the elders, and unto them who had been foster-parents for Ahab, saying:
Akab te gen swasanndis pitit gason nan lavil Samari. Jeou ekri yon lèt, li voye yon kopi bay tout chèf ki lavil Samari yo, bay chèf fanmi yo ak bay moun ki reskonsab pitit Akab yo. Men sa li voye di yo:
2 Now, therefore, when this letter cometh in unto you, there being, with you, the sons of your lord, —and, with you, the chariots and the homes, and a fortified city, and the armour,
—Mwen konnen se nou menm ki gen reskonsablite tout pitit mèt nou yo, cha lagè li yo, chwal li yo, ranpa lavil la ak tout zam ki ladan l'. Resevwa n'a resevwa lèt sa a,
3 ye shall look out the goodliest and fittest of the sons of your lord, and set on the throne of his father, and ye shall do battle for the house of your lord.
n'a chwazi yonn nan pitit mèt nou an, sa nou wè ki pi bon an, sa ki gen kalite pou sa, n'a mete l' sou fotèy la nan plas papa l'. Lèfini, n'a goumen pou pran defans li.
4 Then feared they very greatly, and said, Lo! two kings, stood not before him; how then, should, we, stand?
Men mesye yo te pè anpil, yo di: —De wa pa t' ka kenbe tèt ak li. Kote se nou ki pou ta rive fè l'!
5 So he that was over the house, and he that was over the city, and the elders, and the foster-parents sent unto Jehu, saying—Thy servants, we are! and, all that thou shalt say unto us, will we do, —we will make no man king, whatsoever is good in thine own eyes, do!
Se konsa ofisye ki te anchaj palè a, gouvènè lavil la, chèf fanmi yo ak reskonsab pitit wa yo voye di Jeou: —Se sou zòd ou nou ye, n'ap fè tou sa ou di nou fè. Men, nou p'ap mete pesonn wa. W'a fè sa w'a wè ki pi bon.
6 Then wrote he unto them a second letter, saying—If, mine, ye are, and, unto my voice, ye intend to hearken, take ye the heads of the men who are sons of your lord, and come in unto me about this time to-morrow, in Jezreel. Now, the sons of the king, seventy persons, were with the great men of the city, who had been bringing them up.
Jeou voye yon dezyèm lèt ba yo, li di yo: —Si nou avè m', si nou vle koute lòd mwen enben, denmen lè konsa, pote tèt pitit Akab yo ban mwen isit lavil Jizreyèl. Swasanndis pitit Akab yo te lakay grannèg lavil Samari ki t'ap elve yo.
7 And it came to pass, when the letter reached them, that they took the sons of the king, and slew them, seventy persons, —and put their heads in baskets, and sent unto him to Jezreel.
Lè yo resevwa lèt Jeou a, yo touye swasanndis pitit Akab yo, yo mete tèt yo nan panyen, yo voye yo bay Jeou lavil Jizreyèl.
8 And there came in a messenger and told him, saying, They have brought in the heads of the sons of the king. And he said—Lay ye them in two heaps, at the entrance of the gate, until the morning.
Lè yo vin di Jeou yo te pote tèt pitit wa Akab yo, li bay lòd pou yo fè de pil ak yo bò pòtay lavil la, kite yo la jouk denmen maten.
9 And it came to pass, in the morning, that he went out and took his stand, and said unto all the people, Righteous, are, ye! Lo! I, conspired against my lord, and slew him, but, who, smote, all these?
Nan denmen maten li soti, l' ale kanpe bò pòtay la, li di moun ki te la yo: —Se mwen menm ki te fè konplo kont Joram, mèt mwen an, pou m' te touye l'. Nou pa gen anyen pou nou wè nan sa. Men, sa yo, ki moun ki touye yo?
10 Know ye, then, that there shall fall nought of the word of Yahweh, to the ground, which Yahweh spake concerning the house of Ahab, —but, Yahweh, hath done that which he spake through his servant Elijah.
Sa vle di Seyè a pa nan pale mete la. Tou sa li te di sou fanmi Akab la te fèt pou rive vre. Se Seyè a menm ki fè tou sa rive jan li te di sa nan bouch Eli, sèvitè l' la.
11 Then Jehu smote all that were left remaining unto the house of Ahab, in Jezreel, and all his great men, and his acquaintances and his priests, —until there was not left remaining to him, a survivor.
Se konsa Jeou touye tout rès fanmi Akab ki te lavil Jizreyèl, tout grannèg ki t'ap sèvi avè l' li yo, bon zanmi l' yo ak prèt li yo. Li pa kite yonn ladan yo vivan.
12 Then arose he, and came in, and departed for Samaria, —the sheep-shearing house itself being on the road;
Apre sa, li pati pou lavil Samari. Sou wout la, lè li rive bò kan gadò mouton yo,
13 so, Jehu, lighted upon the brethren of Ahaziah king of Judah, and said, Who are, ye? And they said—Brethren of Ahaziah, are, we; so we came down to salute the sons of the king, and the sons of the queen.
li jwenn ak kèk fanmi Okozyas, wa peyi Jida a. Li mande yo: —Ki moun nou ye? Yo reponn li: —Nou se fanmi wa Okozyas. Nou pral di pitit wa a ak pitit larenn lan bonjou.
14 Then said he, —Take them alive. So they took them alive, and slew them [casting them] into the pit of the shearing house, —forty-two men, neither left he remaining a man of them.
Jeou bay moun ki te avè l' yo lòd sa a: —Pran yo tou vivan! Yo pran yo tou vivan, yo koupe kou yo bò kan gadò mouton yo. Te gen karannde moun antou. Yo pa kite yonn ladan yo vivan.
15 Then departed he from thence, and lighted on Jehonadab son of Rechab coming to meet him, and he blessed him, and said unto him—Is thy heart, right, as my heart is with thy heart? And Jehonadab said—It is. Then, if it is, give me thy hand. So he gave him his hand. And he took him up to him, into the chariot;
Jeou pati ankò. Sou wout li, li kontre ak Jonadab, pitit gason Rekab la, ki t'ap mache vin jwenn li. Jeou di l' bonjou, epi li di l' konsa: —Ou gen menm lide avè m'? Eske w'ap mache avè m'? Jonadab reponn: —Wi, m'ap mache avè ou. Jeou di li: —Si nou dakò, ban m' lanmen. Jonadab ak Jeou bay lanmen. Jeou ede l' moute sou cha lagè a bò kote l'.
16 and said—Do come with me, and see my jealousy for Yahweh. So he made him ride in his chariot.
Li di l' konsa: —Ann al avè m'. W'a wè jan mwen soti pou m' sèvi Seyè a. Se konsa yo pati ansanm sou cha a.
17 And, when he came into Samaria, he smote all that were left remaining unto Ahab, in Samaria, until he had destroyed him, —according to the word of Yahweh, which he had spoken unto Elijah.
Lè yo rive lavil Samari, Jeou touye dènye rès moun nan fanmi Akab la. Li pa kite yonn ladan yo vivan, dapre pawòl Seyè a te mete nan bouch pwofèt Eli a.
18 Then Jehu gathered together all the people, and said unto them, —Ahab, served Baal, a little, —Jehu, will serve him, much.
Apre sa, Jeou reyini tout pèp lavil Samari a, li di yo: —Akab te sèvi Baal yon ti kras, mwen menm m'ap sèvi l' plis pase l'.
19 Now, therefore, all the prophets of Baal, all his servants and all his priests, call ye for me; do not let, a man, be missing; for, a great sacrifice, have I, to Baal, no one that is missing, shall live. But, Jehu, acted, craftily, to the end he might destroy the servants of Baal.
Se poutèt sa, fè chache tout pwofèt yo, tout sèvitè Baal yo ak tout prèt li yo, fè yo vin jwenn mwen. Mwen vle pou tout moun la, paske mwen gen pou m' fè yon gwo sèvis pou Baal. Si yon moun pa la l'ap mouri. Men se yon plan Jeou te gen nan tèt li pou l' te touye tout moun k'ap sèvi Baal.
20 And Jehu said—Hallow ye a solemn festival unto Baal. And they made proclamation.
Se poutèt sa li bay lòd pou yo fè tout moun konnen yo pral fè yon gwo sèvis pou Baal. Yo fè piblikasyon an.
21 And Jehu sent throughout all Israel, and all the servants of Baal came in, so that there was not left remaining a man, who had not come in, —and they entered the house of Baal, and the house of Baal was filled, from door to door.
Jeou voye bay nouvèl la nan tout peyi Izrayèl la. Tout moun ki sèvi Baal yo vini. Pa t' gen yonn ki pa t' la. Yo tout antre nan tanp Baal la, yo plenn l' nèt.
22 Then said he to him who was over the wardrobe chamber, Bring forth vestments for all the servants of Baal. And he brought forth for them the vestments.
Jeou rele moun ki te reskonsab rad seremoni yo, li di l' konsa: —Pran rad seremoni bay tout sèvitè Baal yo. Nonm lan mete rad yo deyò, li bay yo chak yonn.
23 Then entered Jehu, with Jehonadab son of Rechab, into the house of Baal, —and he said unto the servants of Baal—Search ye and see, that there be not here, with you, any of the servants of Yahweh, none but the servants of Baal, alone.
Lèfini, Jeou ak Jonadab, pitit Rekab la, rive nan tanp Baal la, li di moun yo: —Se pou nou sèten se renk moun ki sèvi Baal ki la avè nou. Pa kite ankenn moun k'ap sèvi Seyè a nan mitan nou.
24 And, when they entered to offer sacrifices and ascending-offerings, Jehu, set him, outside, eighty men, and said—The man who shall escape, of the men whom I am bringing into your power, his own life, shall be for, his life.
Tout moun yo antre nan tanp lan pou ofri bèt pou yo touye pou Baal ak bèt pou yo boule pou li. Men, Jeou te mete katreven moun pa l' sou deyò tanp lan. Li te avèti yo, li te di yo: —Si yonn nan nou kite yonn nan moun mwen pral lage nan men nou yo chape, se li menm k'ap mouri nan plas li.
25 And it came to pass, as soon as he had made an end of offering the ascending-sacrifice, that Jehu said to the runners and to the officers—Enter, smite them, let not, a man, get out. So they smote them, with the edge of the sword, —and the runners and the officers cast them out, and then went as far as the city of the house of Baal,
Fini Jeou fini boule bèt yo pou Baal, li di gad yo ak kaptenn yo: —Antre, touye yo tout! Pa kite yonn ladan yo chape! Mesye Jeou yo antre ak nepe nan men yo, yo touye tout moun, yo trennen kadav yo met deyò. Lèfini, yo tounen nan pyès kote lotèl la ye nan tanp Baal la.
26 and brought forth the idolatrous pillars that were in the house of Baal, and then burned it;
Yo pran poto yo te mete kanpe pou Baal la, yo pote l' deyò, yo boule l'.
27 and they brake down the pillars of Baal, —and brake down the house of Baal, and appointed it for a sewer-house—until this day.
Yo demoli lotèl Baal la ansanm ak tanp lan. Yo pran tanp lan yo fè l' sèvi latrin jouk jounen jòdi a.
28 Thus Jehu destroyed Baal out of Israel.
Se konsa Jeou fè disparèt sèvis Baal nan peyi Izrayèl la.
29 Nevertheless, as for the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, which he caused, Israel, to commit, Jehu turned not away from following them, —the calves of gold, one being in Bethel, and the other in Dan.
Men li tonbe nan menm peche ak wa Jewoboram, pitit Nebat la, ki te lakòz pèp Izrayèl fè sa ki mal: li sèvi estati lò an fòm towo bèf ki te lavil Betèl ak lavil Dann.
30 And Yahweh said unto Jehu: Because thou hast done well, by doing that which was right in mine eyes—according to all that was in my heart, hast done to the house of Ahab, sons, of thine, unto the fourth generation, shall sit upon the throne of Israel.
Seyè a di Jeou konsa: —Ou fè fanmi wa Akab la tou sa m' te vle fè yo. Ou byen fèt, ou fè sa ki dwat nan je m'. Se poutèt sa, pitit pitit ou yo pral wa nan peyi Izrayèl la rive sou kat jenerasyon.
31 But, Jehu, took not heed to walk in the law of Yahweh God of Israel, with all his heart, —he turned not away from the sins of Jeroboam, which he caused, Israel, to commit.
Men, Jeou pa t' bat kò l' plis pase sa pou l' te mache dapre lalwa Seyè a. Okontrè, li lage kò l' nan fè menm peche ak wa Jewoboram ki te lakòz pèp Izrayèl la fè sa ki mal.
32 In those days, began Yahweh to make inroads in Israel, —and Hazael smote them in all the boundaries of Israel;
Lè sa a, Seyè a konmanse wonyen sou teritwa peyi Izrayèl la. Wa Azayèl atake moun Izrayèl yo toupatou nan peyi a,
33 from the Jordan, towards sunrise, all the land of Gilead, the Gadites, and the Reubenites, and the Manassites, —from Aroer, which is by the torrent of Arnon, both Gilead and Bashan.
depi sou bò solèy leve larivyè Jouden jouk lavil Awoyè, anwo ravin Amon an nan sid, ki vle di nan tout peyi Galarad la ak peyi Bazan an kote moun branch fanmi Gad, fanmi Woubenn ak fanmi Manase yo rete.
34 Now, the rest of the story of Jehu, and all that he did, and all his might, are they not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
Tout rès istwa Jeou a ansanm ak tou sa li te fè ak kote yo rakonte jan li te vanyan sòlda, n'a jwenn tou sa ekri nan liv Istwa wa Izrayèl yo.
35 And Jehu slept with his fathers, and they buried him in Samaria, —and, Jehoahaz his son, reigned, in his stead.
Lè Jeou mouri, yo antere l' lavil Samari. Se Joakaz, pitit li, ki moute wa nan plas li.
36 Now, the days that Jehu reigned over Israel, were twenty-eight years, in Samaria.
Jeou te gouvènen peyi Izrayèl pandan ventwitan nan lavil Samari.
