2 Chronicles 18
1 Now Jehoshaphat had great riches and honor; he allied himself with Ahab by having one of his family marry his daughter.
Alò Josaphat te gen gwo richès avèk lonè; epi li te fè alyans avèk Achab pa maryaj.
2 After some years, he went down to Ahab in Samaria. Ahab killed many sheep and oxen for him and the people who were with him. Ahab also persuaded him to attack Ramoth Gilead with him.
Kèk ane pita, li te desann kote Achab Samarie. Konsa, Achab te touye anpil mouton avèk bèf pou li avèk moun ki te avèk li yo, e li te konvenk li monte kont Ramoth-Galaad.
3 Ahab, king of Israel, said to Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, “Will you go with me to Ramoth Gilead?” Jehoshaphat answered him, “I am like you, and my people are like your people. We will be with you in the war.”
Achab, wa Israël la, te di a Josaphat, wa Juda a: “Èske ou va monte avèk mwen kont Ramoth-Galaad?” Konsa, li te di li: “Mwen tankou ou menm e pèp mwen an tankou pèp pa w la, nou avèk ou nan batay la.”
4 Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, “Please first seek the word of Yahweh for your answer.”
Anplis, Josaphat te di a wa Israël la: “Souple, fè ankèt avan pou pawòl SENYÈ a.”
5 Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, four hundred men, and said to them, “Should we go to Ramoth Gilead to battle, or should I not?” They said, “Attack, for God will give it into the hand of the king.”
Epi wa Israël la te rasanble tout pwofèt yo, kat-san mesye. Li te di yo: “Èske nou dwe monte kont Ramoth-Galaad pou batay, oswa èske mwen dwe fè bak?” Epi yo te reponn: “Ale monte, paske Bondye va livre li nan men a wa a.”
6 But Jehoshaphat said, “Is there not here still another prophet of Yahweh with whom we might seek advice?”
Men Josaphat te di: “Èske pa gen toujou yon pwofèt SENYÈ a pou nou kab mande sa?”
7 The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “There is still one man by whom we may seek the advice of Yahweh, Micaiah son of Imlah, but I hate him because he never prophesies good concerning me, but always evil.” But Jehoshaphat said, “The king should not say that.”
Wa Israël la te di a Josaphat: “Gen youn toujou ke nou kab fè demann a SENYÈ a, men mwen rayi li, paske li pa janm pwofetize sa ki bon pou mwen, men toujou, mal. Li se Michée, fis Jimla a.” Men Josaphat te di: “Pa kite wa a pale konsa.”
8 Then the king of Israel called an officer and said, “Quickly bring Micaiah son of Imlah.”
Konsa, wa Israël la te rele yon ofisye e te di: “Fè vit, mennen Michée, fis Jimla a.”
9 Now Ahab the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah were sitting each on a throne, clothed in their robes, in an open place at the entrance of the gate of Samaria, and all the prophets were prophesying before them.
Alò, wa Israël la avèk Josaphat, wa Juda a te chita yo chak sou twòn yo, abiye ak manto yo. Yo te chita kote glasi vannen an nan antre pòtay Samarie a, epi tout pwofèt yo t ap pwofetize devan yo.
10 Zedekiah son of Kenaanah made himself horns of iron and said, “Yahweh says this: With these you will push the Arameans until they are consumed.”
Sédécias, fis a Kenaana a, te fè kòn an fè pou kont li. Li te di: “Konsa pale SENYÈ a, ‘Avèk sila yo, ou va frennen Siryen yo, jiskaske yo fin detwi nèt.’”
11 All the prophets prophesied the same, saying, “Attack Ramoth Gilead and win, for Yahweh has given it into the hand of the king.”
Tout pwofèt yo t ap pwofetize konsa. Yo t ap di: “Ale monte Ramoth-Galaad e reyisi, paske SENYÈ a va livre li nan men a wa a.”
12 The messenger who went to summon Micaiah said to him, “Look, the words of the prophets with one mouth are favorable to the king. Let your words agree with theirs, and speak favorably.”
Konsa, mesaje ki te ale fè demand prezans Michée a te pale avèk li. Li te di: “Gade byen, pawòl a pwofèt yo favorab nèt pou wa a. Konsa, souple, kite pawòl ou fèt tankou pa yo a e pale anfavè li.”
13 Micaiah replied, “As Yahweh lives, it is what God says that I will say.”
Men Michée te di: “Jan SENYÈ a viv la, sa ke Bondye mwen an di, se sa mwen va pale.”
14 When he came to the king, the king said to him, “Micaiah, should we go to Ramoth Gilead for battle, or not?” Micaiah answered him, “Attack and be victorious! For it will be a great victory.”
Lè li te rive kote wa a, wa a te di li: “Michée, èske nou dwe monte Ramoth-Galaad pou batay la, oswa èske mwen dwe fè bak?” Li te di: “Ale monte e reyisi, paske yo va livre nan men ou.”
15 Then the king said to him, “How many times must I require you to swear to tell me nothing but the truth in the name of Yahweh?”
Epi wa a te di li: “Konbyen fwa mwen oblije fè demann ke ou pa pale anyen sof ke laverite nan non SENYÈ a?”
16 So Micaiah said, “I saw all Israel scattered on the mountains, like sheep who have no shepherd, and Yahweh said, 'These have no shepherd. Let every man return to his house in peace.'”
Konsa, li te reponn: “Mwen te wè tout Israël gaye sou mòn yo tankou mouton ki pa t gen bèje. Konsa, SENYÈ a te di: ‘Sila yo pa gen mèt. Kite yo chak retounen lakay yo anpè.’”
17 So the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “Did I not tell you that he would not prophesy good concerning me, but only disaster?”
Wa Israël la te di a Josaphat: “Èske mwen pa t di ou ke li pa t pwofetize sa ki bon pou mwen, men sa ki mal?”
18 Then Micaiah said, “Therefore all of you should hear the word of Yahweh: I saw Yahweh sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven were standing on his right hand and on his left.
Michée te di: “Pou sa, tande pawòl SENYÈ a: Mwen te wè SENYÈ a ki te chita sou twòn li an ak tout lame syèl la ki te kanpe adwat Li ak agoch Li.
19 Yahweh said, 'Who will entice Ahab, king of Israel, so that he may go up and fall at Ramoth Gilead?' One said this and another that.
SENYÈ a te di: ‘Kilès k ap sedwi Achab, wa Israël la, pou monte tonbe Ramoth-Galaad?’ Epi youn te di sa, pandan yon lòt te di yon lòt bagay.
20 Then a spirit came forward and it stood before Yahweh and said, 'I will entice him.' Yahweh said to him, 'How?'
Alò, yon lespri te parèt e te kanpe devan SENYÈ a. Li te di: Mwen va sedwi li.’” “Epi SENYÈ a te di: ‘Kijan’?
21 The spirit replied, 'I will go out and I will become a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets.' Yahweh replied, 'You will entice him, and you will also be successful. Go now and do so.'
“Li te reponn: ‘Mwen va ale fè l tankou yon lespri manti nan bouch a tout pwofèt li yo.’ “Epi Li te di: ‘Ou dwe sedwi li e genyen li tou. Ale fè sa.’
22 Now see, Yahweh has put a lying spirit in the mouth of these prophets of yours, and Yahweh has decreed disaster for you.”
“Alò, pou sa, gade byen, SENYÈ a te mete yon lespri manti nan bouch a sila yo, pwofèt ou yo, paske SENYÈ a te pwoklame dega kont ou.”
23 Then Zedekiah son of Kenaanah, came up, slapped Micaiah on the cheek, and said, “Which way did the Spirit of Yahweh take to go from me to speak to you?”
Konsa, Sédécias, fis a Kenaana a, te pwoche. Li te frape Michée sou machwè l e te di: “Ki kote chemen Lespri SENYÈ a te fè kite mwen pou pale avè w?”
24 Micaiah said, “Look, you will know that on that day, when you run into some inner room to hide.”
Michée te di: “Gade byen, nan jou ke ou antre nan chanm anndan pou kache kò ou la, ou va wè sa.”
25 The king of Israel said to some servants, “You people seize Micaiah and take him to Amon, the governor of the city, and to Joash, my son.
Alò, wa Israël la te di: “Pran Michée e fè l retounen kote Amon, majistra vil la ak Joas, fis a wa a.
26 You people will say to him, 'The king says: Put this man in prison and feed him with only a little bread and only a little water, until I return safely.'”
Di yo: ‘Konsa pale wa a: “Mete nonm sila a nan prizon a, e ba li tikras pen ak dlo jiskaske m retounen anpè.”’”
27 Then Micaiah said, “If you return safely, then Yahweh has not spoken by me.” Then he added, “Listen to this, all you people.”
Michée te di: “Si, anverite, ou ta retounen anpè, SENYÈ a pa t vrèman pale avèk mwen.” Li te di: “Koute byen, tout pèp yo!”
28 So Ahab, the king of Israel, and Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, went up against Ramoth Gilead.
Konsa, wa Israël avèk Josaphat, wa Juda a, te monte kont Ramoth-Galaad.
29 The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “I will disguise myself and go into the battle, but you put on your royal robes.” So the king of Israel disguised himself, and they went into the battle.
Wa Israël la te di a Josaphat: “Mwen va kache idantite mwen pou antre nan batay la, e ou menm, mete pwòp manto ou.” Konsa, wa Israël la te kache idantite li, e yo te antre nan batay la.
30 Now the king of Aram had commanded the captains of his chariots, saying, “Do not attack the unimportant or the important soldiers. Instead, attack only the king of Israel.”
Alò, wa Syrie a te kòmande chèf a cha li yo. Li te di: “Pa goumen avèk piti ni gran, men avèk wa Israël la sèlman.”
31 It came about that when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat they said, “That is the king of Israel.” They turned around to attack him, but Jehoshaphat cried out, and Yahweh helped him. God turned them away from him.
Pou sa, lè chèf a cha yo te wè Josaphat, yo te di: “Li se wa Israël la,” e yo te vire akote pou goumen kont li. Men Josaphat te kriye anmwey, e SENYÈ a te fè l sekou. Bondye te angaje yo pou yo te kite l.
32 It came about that when the commanders of the chariots saw that it was not the king of Israel, they turned back from pursuing him.
Lè chèf cha yo te wè ke se pa t wa Israël la, yo te retounen pa swiv li.
33 But a certain man drew his bow at random and shot the king of Israel between the joints of his armor. Then Ahab said to the driver of his chariot, “Turn around and carry me out of the battle, for I am badly wounded.”
Yon sèten nonm te rale banza li pa aza, e te frape wa Israël la nan yon kwen nan pwotèj kò a. Konsa, li te pale a chofè cha a: “Vire tounen e fè m sòti nan batay la, paske mwen blese byen grav.”
34 The battle grew worse that day, and the king of Israel was held up in his chariot facing the Arameans until the evening. About the time that the sun was going down, he died.
Batay la te chofe byen rèd tout jounen an e wa Israël te fòse pou l te kab kanpe nan cha li a devan Siryen yo jis rive nan aswè; epi nan kouche solèy la, li te mouri.
