1 Kings 16
1 During the time that Baasha [was king of Israel], [the prophet] Jehu, Hanani’s son, gave Baasha this message that he had received from Yahweh:
Alò, pawòl SENYÈ a te vini aJéhu, fis a Hanani a kont Baescha, e te di:
2 “You were very insignificant/unimportant [IDM] when I caused you to become the ruler of my Israeli people. But you have caused me to become very angry by doing [IDM] the kinds of evil things that King Jeroboam did. You have also caused me to become angry by causing my people to sin.
“Mwen te egzalte ou, Baescha, soti nan pousyè e Mwen te fè ou chèf sou pèp Mwen an, Israël. E ou te mache nan chemen Jéroboam pou te fè pèp Mwen an, Israël peche e te pwovoke M a lakòlè avèk peche pa yo.
3 So now I will get rid of you and your family [MTY]. I will do to you just like I did to Jeroboam and his family.
Veye byen, Mwen va manje Baescha nèt avèk lakay li e Mwen va fè lakay ou tankou lakay Jéroboam, fis a Nebat la.
4 [The bodies of] those in your family who die in this city [will not be buried; they] will be eaten by dogs; and [the corpses of] those who die in the fields will be eaten by vultures.”
Nenpòt moun nan Baescha ki mouri nan vil la, li va manje pa chen e nenpòt moun nan sila ki mouri nan chan, zwazo syèl yo va manje l.”
5 The other things that happened during the time that Baasha ruled Israel, and the things that he did, are written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
Alò, lòt zèv a Baescha, sa li te fè ak pwisans li, èske yo pa t ekri nan Liv Kwonik a Wa Israël yo?
6 When Baasha died, he was buried in Tirzah, [the capital city]. Then his son Elah became king.
Epi Baescha te dòmi avèk zansèt li yo, e li te antere Thirtsa. Epi Éla, fis li a, te vin wa nan plas li.
7 Yahweh gave that message about Baasha and his family to the prophet Jehu. Baasha had done many things that Yahweh considered to be evil, which caused Yahweh to become angry. Baasha did the same kind of things that King Jeroboam and his family had done previously. Yahweh was also angry with Baasha because he had killed all of Jeroboam’s family.
Anplis, pawòl SENYÈ a, pa pwofèt la, Jéhu, fis a Hanani an, osi te vini kont Baescha avèk lakay li, akoz tout mal li te fè nan zye SENYÈ a, lè l te pwovoke Li a lakòlè avèk zèv a men li yo, lè li te vin tankou lakay Jéroboam e osi akoz li te frape li.
8 After Asa had been the king of Judah for almost 26 years, Elah became the king of Israel. Elah ruled in Tirzah for [only] two years.
Nan venn-sizyèm ane Asa a, wa a Juda a, Éla, fis a Baescha a, te vin wa sou Israël nan Thirtsa e li te renye pandan dezan.
9 [A man named] Zimri was one of Elah’s army officers. He commanded the drivers of half of Elah’s army’s (chariots/two-wheeled vehicles pulled by horses). He made plans to kill Elah while Elah was in Tirzah, getting drunk at the house of [a man named] Arza. Arza was the man who took care of the things in the king’s palace.
Sèvitè li, Zimri, chèf a mwatye cha li yo, te fè konplo kont li. Alò, li te lakay Thirtsa, e li t ap bwè jiskaske li te vin sou lakay Artsa, ki te chèf sou tout kay Thirtsa a.
10 Zimri went into Arza’s house and killed Elah. Then Zimri became the king of Israel. That was when Asa had been the king of Judah for 27 years.
Alò, Zimri te antre frape li e te mete l a lanmò nan venn-setyèm ane Asa a, wa a Juda a e li te devni wa nan plas li.
11 As soon as Zimri became king [MTY], he killed all of Baasha’s family [MTY]. That included every male [IDM] in Baasha’s family and all of Baasha’s male friends.
Li te vin rive ke lè li te devni wa a, depi li te chita sou twòn nan, ke li te touye tout manm lakay Baesche yo. Li pa t kite menm yon gason, ni pami fanmi, ni nan zanmi li yo.
12 That was just what Yahweh told the prophet Jehu would happen.
Konsa, Zimri te detwi tout lakay Baesche, selon pawòl ke SENYÈ a te pale kont Baesche pa Jéhu, pwofèt la,
13 Baasha and his son Elah had sinned and led the Israeli people to sin. They caused Yahweh, the God whom the Israeli people worshiped, to become angry, because they both urged the people [to worship] worthless idols.
pou tout peche a Baesche yo ak peche a Éla, fis li a, peche ke yo te fè e avèk sila yo te fè Israël peche yo, e ki te pwovoke Li a lakòlè avèk zidòl pa yo.
14 Everything else that Elah did is written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
Alò, tout lòt zèv a Éla yo avèk tout sa ke li te fè yo, èske yo pa ekri nan Liv Kwonik a Wa Israël yo?
15 So Zimri became the king of Israel after Asa had been king of Judah for 27 years. But Zimri ruled in Tirzah for only seven days. The Israeli army was beseiging/surrounding Gibeah, a town which belonged to the Philistine people-group.
Nan venn-setyèm ane Asa a, wa Juda a, Zimri, te renye pandan sèt jou nan Thirtsa. Alò, pèp la te fè kan kont Guibbethon, ki te pou Filisten yo.
16 The men in the Israeli army camp heard that Zimri had secretly planned to kill King Elah, and then had killed him. So on that day the soldiers chose Omri, the commander of their army, to become the king of Israel.
Moun ki te nan kan yo te tande li e te di: “Zimri te fè konplo pou vin frape wa a.” Pou sa, tout Israël te fè Omri chèf lame a wa a sou Israël menm jou sa a nan kan an.
17 The Israeli army was camped near Gibbethon [city]. When they heard what Zimri had done, they left there and went to Tirzah, and surrounded the city.
Alò, Omri ak tout Israël avèk li te monte soti nan Guibbethon pou te fè syèj kont Thirtsa.
18 When Zimri realized that the city was [about to be] captured, he went into his palace and set it on fire. So the palace burned down, and he died [in the fire].
Lè Zimri te wè vil la te tonbe, li te monte nan sitadèl lakay wa a. Li te brile lakay wa a sou pwòp tèt li avèk dife, e li te mouri.
19 He died because he had sinned by doing the things that Yahweh considered to be evil. Jeroboam had led the Israeli people to sin, and Zimri sinned just like Jeroboam had sinned.
Sa te fèt akoz peche ke li te fè yo, ak mal li te fè nan zye SENYÈ a, li te mache nan chemen Jéroboam. Nan peche li te fè yo, li te fè Israël peche.
20 All the other things that Zimri did, and the record of how he rebelled [against King Elah], are written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
Alò lòt zèv a Zimri yo avèk konplo li te fè yo, èske yo pa ekri an Liv Kwonik a Wa Israël yo?
21 After Zimri died, the Israeli people were divided. One group wanted Tibni, the son of Ginath, to be their king. The other group wanted Omri [to be the king].
Alò, pèp Israël yo te divize an de pati: mwatye te swiv Thibni, fis a Guinath la pou fè l devni wa; mwatye te swiv Omri.
22 Those who supported Omri (were stronger than/defeated) those who supported Tibni. So Tibni was killed, and Omri became king.
Men moun ki te swiv Omri yo te vin genyen sou moun ki te swiv Thibni yo, fis a Guinath la. Epi Thibni te mouri e Omri te vin wa a.
23 Omri became king when Asa had been king of Judah for almost 31 years. Omri ruled Israel for 12 years. For the first six years he ruled in Tirzah.
Nan tranteyen ane Asa a, wa Juda a, Omri te devni wa sou Israël e li te renye pandan douz ane. Li te renye pandan sizan nan Thirtsa.
24 Then he bought a hill from [a man named] Shemer and paid him about (150 pounds/70 kg.) of silver for it. Then Omri ordered his men to build a city on that hill, and he called it Samaria, to honor Shemer, the man who owned it previously.
Li te achte ti mòn Samarie a nan men Schémer pou de talan ajan; epi li te bati sou ti mòn nan e li te rele vil ke li te bati a Samarie menm non a Schémer, mèt a ti mòn nan.
25 But Omri did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil. He did more evil deeds than any of the kings who ruled Israel before he did.
Omri te fè mal nan zye SENYÈ a e li te aji avèk plis mechanste pase tout moun ki te avan l yo.
26 [When] Jeroboam [was previously the king, he] had led the Israeli people to sin, and Omri committed the same kind of sins that Jeroboam did. The Israeli people caused Yahweh, the God the Israeli people had worshiped, to become very angry, because they worshiped worthless idols.
Paske li te mache nan tout chemen a Jéroboam yo, fis a Nebat la ak nan peche pa li avèk sila li te fè Israël peche yo, e te pwovoke SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la, avèk zidòl pa yo.
27 Everything that Omri did, and the record of the victories that his [army] won, are written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
Alò, tout lòt zèv ke Omri te fè yo ak pwisans ke li te montre yo, èske yo pa ekri nan Liv Kwonik a Wa Israël yo?
28 After Omri died, he was buried in Samaria, and his son Ahab became king.
Konsa, Omri te dòmi avèk zansèt pa li yo e li te antere Samarie; epi Achab, fis li a, te devni wa nan plas li.
29 Ahab became king of Israel when Asa had ruled Judah for almost 38 years. Ahab ruled in Samaria [city] for 22 years.
Alò, Achab, fis a Omri a te devni wa sou Israël pandan trann-tuit ane Asa yo, wa Juda a, e Achab, fis a Omri a te renye sou Israël nan Samarie pandan venn-dezan.
30 Ahab did many things that Yahweh considered to be evil. He did more evil things than any of the kings who ruled Israel before he did.
Achab, fis Omri a te fè mal nan zye a SENYÈ a plis pase tout moun ki te avan li yo.
31 He committed the same kind of sins that Jeroboam did, but he did things that were worse than the things that Jeroboam did. He married [a woman named] Jezebel, the daughter of Ethbaal, the king of Sidon [city]. Then Ahab started to worship Baal, [the god that the Canaan people-group worshiped].
Li te vin rive ke kòmsi li te yon ti bagay pou li te mache nan peche a Jéroboam yo, fis a Nebat la, ke li te marye ak Jézabel, fi a Ethbaal la, wa a Sidonyen yo, li te ale sèvi Baal e te adore li.
32 He built a temple in Samaria in order that the Israeli people could worship Baal there, and he put an altar there for [making sacrifices to] Baal.
Konsa, li te fè monte yon lotèl pou Baal nan kay Baal ke li te bati Samarie a.
33 He also made an idol that represented Asherah, [Baal’s wife]. He did many more things that caused Yahweh to become angry. He did more evil things than any of the previous kings of Israel had done.
Achab osi te fè Astarté. Konsa, Achab te fè plis pou pwovoke SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la, pase tout wa a Israël ki te avan li yo.
34 During the years that Ahab [ruled], Hiel, a man from Bethel [city], rebuilt Jericho [city]. But when he started to rebuild the city, his oldest son Abiram died. And [when the city was finished, ] while Hiel was building the city gates, his youngest son Segub died. They died just like Yahweh had told Joshua would happen [to the sons of anyone who would rebuild Jericho].
Nan jou pa li yo, Hiel, moun Béthel la te bati Jéricho. Li te poze fondasyon li yo avèk pèt Abiram, premye ne li a e li te monte pòtay li yo avèk pèt a pi piti fis li a, Segub, selon pawòl SENYÈ a te pale pa Josué, fis a Nun nan.
