1 Kings 21
1 And it came to pass after these things, that Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard, which was in Jezreel, close to the palace of Ahab king of Samaria.
Apre tout bagay sa yo, men sa ki rive: Nan lavil Jizreyèl, toupre palè wa Akab la, te gen yon jaden rezen ki te pou yon nonm yo te rele Nabòt.
2 And Ahab spoke to Naboth, saying, Give me thy vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it is near to my house: and I will give thee for it a better vineyard than it; or, if it seemeth good to thee, I will give thee the worth of it in money.
Yon jou, wa Akab di Nabòt konsa: -Ban m' jaden rezen ou lan pou m' ka fè yon jaden legim. Li toupre kay mwen. m'a ba ou yon lòt jaden rezen ki pi bon pase sa a. Osinon si ou pito, m'a ba ou yon bon pri pou li.
3 And Naboth said to Ahab, The LORD forbid it me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers to thee.
Men, Nabòt reponn Akab: -Se tè eritaj li ye. Dapre lalwa Seyè a, mwen pa gen dwa vann ou li.
4 And Ahab came into his house sad and displeased because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him: for he had said, I will not give thee the inheritance of my fathers. And he laid himself down upon his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no food.
Akab al lakay li men li byen mare. Li te fache poutèt Nabòt te di l' li p'ap vann byen eritaj li a. Li moute kabann, li kouche, li bay figi l' nan panno, li derefize manje.
5 But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said to him, Why is thy spirit so sad, that thou eatest no food?
Jezabèl, madanm li, vin bò kote l'. Li mande l': -Sa ou genyen ou move konsa? Poukisa ou pa manje?
6 And he said to her, Because I spoke to Naboth the Jezreelite, and said to him, Give me thy vineyard for money; or else, if it pleaseth thee, I will give thee another vineyard for it: and he answered, I will not give thee my vineyard.
Akab reponn, li di li: -M' pale ak Nabòt, nonm Jizreyèl la. Mwen mande l' pou l' vann mwen jaden rezen l' lan, osinon si li pito, m'a ba li yon lòt pou li. Men, li di m' li p'ap ban mwen jaden l' lan.
7 And Jezebel his wife said to him, Dost thou now govern the kingdom of Israel? arise, and eat food, and let thy heart be merry: I will give thee the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.
Jezabèl di li: -Kouman! Se pa ou ki wa nan peyi Izrayèl la ankò? Leve non, monchè! Manje manje ou, fè kè ou kontan. Mwen pral ba ou jaden rezen Nabòt la.
8 So she wrote letters in Ahab’s name, and sealed them with his seal, and sent the letters to the elders and to the nobles that were in his city, dwelling with Naboth.
Jezabèl ekri kèk lèt, li siyen non Akab anba yo, li sele yo ak so wa a, epi li voye yo bay chèf fanmi ak otorite ki rete lavil Jizreyèl menm kote ak Nabòt.
9 And she wrote in the letters, saying, Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people:
Men sa li voye di yo nan lèt yo: Sanble tout moun pou yon sèvis jèn. Mande Nabòt pou li dirije sèvis la.
10 And set two men, worthless men, before him, to bear witness against him, saying, Thou didst blaspheme God and the king. And then carry him out, and stone him, that he may die.
Lèfini, jwenn de vakabon, fè yo vin kanpe devan l' pou yo akize l'. y'a di li derespekte Seyè a ansanm ak wa a. Lè sa a, n'a pran Nabòt, n'a trennen l' andeyò limit lavil la, n'a kalonnen l' wòch jouk li mouri.
11 And the men of his city, even the elders and the nobles who were the inhabitants in his city, did as Jezebel had sent to them, and as it was written in the letters which she had sent to them.
Chèf fanmi yo ak otorite lavil Jizreyèl yo fè tou sa Jezabèl ba yo lòd fè nan lèt yo.
12 They proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people.
Yo fè konnen yo pral fè sèvis jèn. Yo fè tout pèp la sanble, yo mete Nabòt devan pou dirije sèvis la.
13 And there came in two men, worthless men, and sat before him: and the worthless men witnessed against him, even against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, Naboth blasphemed God and the king. Then they carried him forth out of the city, and stoned him with stones, that he died.
De vakabon vin rive, yo kanpe devan Nabòt, yo akize msye devan tout pèp la. Yo di li derespekte Bondye ansanm ak wa a. Lamenm, yo pran Nabòt, yo mennen l' andeyò limit lavil la, yo kalonnen li wòch jouk li mouri.
14 Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, Naboth is stoned, and is dead.
Apre sa, yo voye di Jezabèl: -Nou kalonnen Nabòt wòch, li mouri.
15 And it came to pass, when Jezebel heard that Naboth was stoned, and was dead, that Jezebel said to Ahab, Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give thee for money: for Naboth is not alive, but dead.
Resevwa Jezabèl resevwa nouvèl lanmò Nabòt, l' al di Akab: -Leve non. Al pran jaden rezen Nabòt, nonm lavil Jizreyèl la, pou ou, jaden li te refize vann ou an. Nabòt pa nan moun isit ankò, li mouri.
16 And it came to pass, when Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, that Ahab arose to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, to take possession of it.
Lè wa Akab tande Nabòt, nonm lavil Jizreyèl la, te mouri, l' ale, li pran jaden rezen an pou li.
17 And the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
Lè sa a, Seyè a pale ak Eli, pwofèt lavil Tichbe a, li di l' konsa:
18 Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, who is in Samaria: behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, where he is gone down to possess it.
-Al jwenn wa Akab nan peyi Samari. W'ap jwenn li koulye a nan jaden rezen Nabòt la. Li vin pran l' pou li.
19 And thou shalt speak to him, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Hast thou killed, and also taken possession? And thou shalt speak to him, saying, Thus saith the LORD, In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth shall dogs lick thy blood, even thine.
W'a di li men mesaj Seyè a voye ba li: Ou fin touye Nabòt, koulye a ou soti pou pran jaden rezen l' lan! Apre sa, w'a di l' ankò men sa Seyè a voye di ou: Menm kote chen te niche san Nabòt la, chen gen pou yo niche san pa ou tou.
20 And Ahab said to Elijah, Hast thou found me, O my enemy? And he answered, I have found thee: because thou hast sold thyself to work evil in the sight of the LORD.
Lè Akab wè Eli, li di l' konsa: -Enben, lènmi mwen, ou jwenn mwen jòdi a! Eli reponn, li di l': -Wè! Mwen jwenn ou paske se renk move bagay w'ap plede fè devan Seyè a.
21 Behold, I will bring evil upon thee, and will take away thy posterity, and will cut off from Ahab the males, and him that is shut up and left in Israel,
Men mesaj Seyè a voye ba ou: M'ap voye yon gwo malè sou ou. Mwen pral disparèt ou. Mwen pral touye dènye gason, granmoun kou timoun, nan fanmi ou.
22 And will make thy house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah, for the provocation with which thou hast provoked me to anger, and made Israel to sin.
Sa ki te rive fanmi wa Jewoboam, pitit Nebat la, ak fanmi wa Bacha, pitit Akija a, se sa ki pral rive fanmi pa ou la tou. Se mwen menm k'ap fè sa paske ou fè m' fache anpil, lèfini se ou ki lakòz pèp Izrayèl la ap fè sa ki mal.
23 And of Jezebel also spoke the LORD, saying, The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the wall of Jezreel.
Men sa Seyè a di sou Jezabèl: Chen gen pou manje kadav li nan mitan lavil Jizreyèl.
24 Him that dieth of Ahab in the city the dogs shall eat; and him that dieth in the field shall the fowls of the air eat.
Chen pral manje kadav tout moun nan fanmi Akab ki va mouri anndan lavil la. Malfini karanklou va manje kadav tout moun nan fanmi an ki va mouri andeyò limit lavil la.
25 But there was none like Ahab, who sold himself to work wickedness in the sight of the LORD, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up.
Pa janm gen pesonn mechan tankou Akab. Li te lage kò l' nèt nan fè sa ki mal devan Seyè a. Li te kite madanm li, Jezabèl, pran tèt li.
26 And he did very abominably in following idols, according to all things as did the Amorites, whom the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.
Li te fè bagay ki lèd nèt, l' al fè sèvis pou vye zidòl tankou moun Amori yo te fè l' la. Se moun Amori sa yo Seyè a te mete deyò nan peyi a pou fè plas pou moun Izrayèl yo.
27 And it came to pass, when Ahab heard those words, that he tore his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his flesh, and fasted, and lay in sackcloth, and went softly.
Lè Eli fin pale, Akab pran lapenn, li chire rad sou li, li mete yon rad sak, li rete san manje. Ata dòmi li dòmi ak rad sak la sou li. Li t'ap mache kagou.
28 And the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,
Apre sa, Seyè a pale ak Eli, moun lavil Tichbe a, li di l' konsa:
29 Seest thou how Ahab humbleth himself before me? because he humbleth himself before me, I will not bring the evil in his days: but in his son’s days will I bring the evil upon his house.
-Ou wè jan Akab vin dou nan pye m'! Paske li fè sa, m'ap tann li mouri anvan m' voye malè a sou fanmi li. Se va pandan rèy pitit gason l' lan m'a voye malè sou fanmi l'.
