< 1 Kings 20 >

1 And Ben-Hadad king of Aram hath gathered all his force, and thirty and two kings [are] with him, and horse and chariot, and he goeth up and layeth siege against Samaria, and fighteth with it,
Bennadad, wa peyi Siri a, reyini tout lame li a. Trannde lòt wa, avèk tout chwal yo ak cha lagè yo, vin mete tèt ansanm avè l'. Bennadad mache sou lavil Samari. Li sènen l', li atake l'.
2 and sendeth messengers unto Ahab king of Israel, to the city,
Li voye mesaje anndan lavil la bò kote Akab, wa peyi Izrayèl la,
3 and saith to him, 'Thus said Ben-Hadad, 'Thy silver and thy gold are mine, and thy wives and thy sons — the best — are mine.'
pou di li: -Wa Bennadad voye di ou tout bagay ou gen an lò ak an ajan se pou li yo ye. Tout madanm ou yo ak tout pi bon pitit gason ou yo se pou li yo ye tou.
4 And the king of Israel answereth and saith, 'According to thy word, my lord, O king: I [am] thine, and all that I have.'
Wa Akab reponn: -Di wa Bennadad, mèt mwen, se jan li vle! Li mèt pran m' ansanm ak tou sa m' genyen.
5 And the messengers turn back and say, 'Thus spake Ben-Hadad, saying, Surely I sent unto thee, saying, Thy silver, and thy gold, and thy wives, and thy sons, to me thou dost give;
Mesaje yo tounen ankò vin di Akab: -Men sa Bennadab voye di ou: M' te voye mande ou pou ou ban mwen tou sa ou gen an lò ak an ajan, tout madanm ak tout pitit gason ou yo.
6 for if, at this time to-morrow, I send my servants unto thee then they have searched thy house, and the houses of thy servants, and it hath been, every desirable thing of thine eyes they place in their hand, and have taken away.'
Koulye a, denmen vè lè konsa, m'ap voye moun pa m' yo pou yo fouye palè ou la ak kay tout moun pa ou yo, pou yo pran tou sa y'a jwenn ki gen valè nan je yo.
7 And the king of Israel calleth to all the elders of the land, and saith, 'Know, I pray you, and see that evil this [one] is seeking, for he sent unto me for my wives, and for my sons, and for my silver, and for my gold, and I withheld not from him.'
Wa Akab fè rele tout chèf fanmi ki nan peyi a, li di yo konsa: -Jan nou wè l' la, nonm sa a soti pou l' pran tou sa nou genyen. Li te voye mande m' madanm mwen yo, pitit gason m' yo ak tout bagay an lò ak an ajan mwen genyen. Mwen pa refize l' anyen.
8 And all the elders and all the people say unto him, 'Do not hearken, nor consent.'
Chèf fanmi yo ansanm ak pèp la di l' konsa: -Pa koute l', pa dakò avè l'!
9 And he saith to the messengers of Ben-Hadad, 'Say to my lord the king, All that thou didst send for unto thy servant at the first I do, and this thing I am not able to do;' and the messengers go and take him back word.
Lè sa a, Akab di mesaje Bennadab yo: -Ale di mèt mwen, wa Bennadab, m' te dakò ak sa li te mande m' premye fwa a. Men, sa l' mande fwa sa a, m' pa ka fè l'. Mesaje yo pati, y' al pote repons lan bay Bennadad.
10 And Ben-Hadad sendeth unto him, and saith, 'Thus do the gods to me, and thus do they add, if the dust of Samaria suffice for handfuls for all the people who [are] at my feet.'
Bennadab voye yo tounen al di Akab: -M'ap vini ak anpil moun pou m' kraze lavil Samari. p'ap gen ase demoli pou m' bay chak moun ki avè m' yo ti kras pou yo pote ale sitèlman y'ap anpil. Si m' pa fè sa, se pou bondye yo ban m' pi gwo pinisyon ki genyen
11 And the king of Israel answereth and saith, 'Speak ye: let not him who is girding on boast himself as him who is loosing [his armour].'
Wa Akab voye reponn li: -Yon sòlda pa fèt pou l' ap vante tèt li anvan l' al goumen.
12 And it cometh to pass at the hearing of this word — and he is drinking, he and the kings, in the booths — that he saith unto his servants, 'Set yourselves;' and they set themselves against the city.
Bennadad t'ap bwè ak lòt wa yo anba tant yo lè yo pote repons Akab la ba li. Lamenm, li bay moun pa l' yo lòd pou yo mache sou lavil Samari. Se konsa, y' al pare pou atake.
13 And lo, a certain prophet hath come nigh unto Ahab king of Israel, and saith, 'Thus said Jehovah, 'Hast thou seen all this great multitude? lo, I am giving it into thy hand to-day, and thou hast known that I [am] Jehovah.'
Lè sa a, yon pwofèt Bondye vin jwenn Akab, li di l' konsa: -Men sa Seyè a voye di ou: Ou wè tout kantite sòlda sa yo? Enben, mwen pral lage yo nan men ou jòdi a, konsa w'a konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a.
14 And Ahab saith, 'By whom?' and he saith, 'Thus said Jehovah, By the young men of the heads of the provinces;' and he saith, 'Who doth direct the battle?' and he saith, 'Thou.'
Akab mande l': -Ki moun ou pral fè lage yo nan men m' jòdi a? Pwofèt la reponn li: -Seyè a voye di ou se jenn sòlda ki sou lòd gouvènè pwovens yo ki pral fè l'. Wa mande ankò: -Ki moun ki pral atake anvan? Pwofèt la reponn: -Ou menm.
15 And he inspecteth the young men of the heads of the provinces, and they are two hundred, two and thirty, and after them he hath inspecteth the whole of the people, all the sons of Israel, seven thousand,
Lamenm, wa a fè rele jenn sòlda ki te sou lòd gouvènè pwovens yo. Li jwenn desantrannde (232) sòlda antou. Apre sa, li fè rele tout lame pèp Izrayèl la, li jwenn sètmil (7.000) gason.
16 and they go out at noon, and Ben-Hadad is drinking — drunk in the booths, he and the kings, the thirty and two kings, helping him.
Vè midi, yo soti al atake pandan Bennadad ansanm ak trannde lòt wa ki t'ap mache avè l' yo t'ap bwè anba tant yo.
17 And the young men of the heads of the provinces go out at the first, and Ben-Hadad sendeth, and they declare to him, saying, 'Men have come out of Samaria.'
Se jenn sòlda yo ki t'ap mache devan. Bennadad te voye al wè jan sa ye bò kay moun pèp Izrayèl yo. Yo vin di li yo wè yon gwoup sòlda ki t'ap soti lavil Samari.
18 And he saith, 'If for peace they have come out — catch them alive; and if for battle they have come out — alive catch them.'
Lè sa a, li di: -M' pa bezwen konnen si y'ap vin pou goumen osinon pou mande lapè, kenbe yo vivan mennen ban mwen.
19 And these have gone out of the city — the young men of the heads of the provinces — and the force that [is] after them,
Jenn sòlda gouvènè yo soti nan lavil la pou al atake. Yo t'ap mache devan, rès lame a t'ap swiv yo.
20 and smite each his man, and Aram fleeth, and Israel pursueth them, and Ben-Hadad king of Aram escapeth on a horse, and the horsemen;
Yo chak yo touye moun ki te vin pou goumen ak yo a. Moun peyi Siri yo pran kouri, moun Izrayèl yo menm t'ap kouri dèyè yo. Bennadad menm resi chape kò l' sou chwal ansanm ak kèk lòt kavalye.
21 and the king of Israel goeth out, and smiteth the horses, and the charioteers, and hath smitten among the Aramaeans a great smiting.
Wa Akab vin atake lè sa a, li touye chwal moun Siri yo, li kraze cha lagè yo. Li bat moun Siri yo byen bat.
22 And the prophet cometh nigh unto the king of Israel, and saith to him, 'Go, strengthen thyself, and know and see that which thou dost, for at the turn of the year the king of Aram is coming up against thee.'
Apre sa, pwofèt la al jwenn wa Akab, li di l' konsa: -Ou mèt tounen koulye a, mete lame ou la anfòm. Kalkile byen sou sa ou pral fè, paske nan ennan, dat pou dat, wa peyi Siri a ap tounen vin atake ou ankò.
23 And the servants of the king of Aram said unto him, 'Gods of hills [are] their gods, therefore they were stronger than we; and yet, we fight with them in the plain — are we not stronger than they?
Chèf ki te avèk wa Bennadad yo vin di l': -Bondye pèp Izrayèl yo se bondye mòn yo ye. Se poutèt sa yo bat nou jan yo bat nou an. Men, si nou goumen ak yo nan tè plat, wè pa wè, n'ap bat yo.
24 'And this thing do thou: turn aside the kings each out of his place, and set captains in their stead;
Koulye a, men sa ou pral fè. Wete kòmandman an nan men lòt wa yo, mete chèf pa ou nan plas yo.
25 and thou, number to thee a force as the force that is fallen from thee, and horse for horse, and chariot for chariot, and we fight with them in the plain; are we not stronger than they?' and he hearkeneth to their voice, and doth so.
Ou menm ou pral moute yon gwo lame tankou lame ou pèdi a, ak menm kantite chwal ak cha lagè ou te gen anvan an. Nou pral goumen ak moun pèp Izrayèl yo nan plenn. W'ap wè fwa sa a n'ap bat yo. Wa Bennadad dakò, li fè sa chèf yo te di l' fè a.
26 And it cometh to pass at the turn of the year, that Ben-Hadad inspecteth the Aramaeans, and goeth up to Aphek, to battle with Israel,
Ennan apre, dat pou dat, li reyini tout sòlda moun peyi Siri yo, li mennen yo jouk lavil Afèk pou y' al atake moun peyi Izrayèl yo.
27 and the sons of Israel have been inspected, and supported, and go to meet them, and the sons of Israel encamp before them, like two flocks of goats, and the Aramaeans have filled the land.
Akab reyini tout lame pèp Izrayèl la, li ba yo zam ak pwovizyon. Yo soti al kontre moun Siri yo. Yo separe fè de gwoup, yo moute kan yo devan lame moun Siri yo. Sòlda peyi Izrayèl yo te sanble ak de ti bann kabrit devan lame moun Siri a menm ki te kouvri tout peyi a.
28 And there cometh nigh a man of God, and speaketh unto the king of Israel, and saith, 'Thus said Jehovah, Because that the Aramaeans have said, God of hills [is] Jehovah, and He [is] not God of valleys — I have given the whole of this great multitude into thy hand, and ye have known that I [am] Jehovah.'
Yon pwofèt Bondye vin jwenn Akab, wa Izrayèl la, li di l' konsa: -Men mesaj Seyè a voye ba ou: Paske moun Siri yo di se yon bondye mòn mwen ye, mwen pa konn tè plat, mwen pral lage tout gwo lame sa a nan men ou. Konsa w'a konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a.
29 And they encamp one over-against another seven days, and it cometh to pass on the seventh day, that the battle draweth near, and the sons of Israel smite Aram — a hundred thousand footmen in one day.
Pandan sèt jou, moun Siri yo ak moun Izrayèl yo rete nan kan yo, yonn anfas lòt. Sou setyèm jou a yo konmanse goumen. Moun Izrayèl yo touye sanmil (100.000) moun Siri.
30 And those left flee to Aphek, unto the city, and the wall falleth on twenty and seven chief men who are left, and Ben-Hadad hath fled, and cometh in unto the city, into the innermost part.
Sa ki chape yo kouri ale lavil Afèk. Lè yo rive la, miray lavil la tonbe sou yo, li touye vennsètmil (27.000) sòlda ki te rete yo. Bennadad tou te chape kò l' nan lagè a. Li antre nan yon kay, l' al kache nan yon pyès jouk nan fon.
31 And his servants say unto him, 'Lo, we pray thee, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel — that they are kind kings; let us put, we pray thee, sackcloth on our loins, and ropes on our heads, and we go out unto the king of Israel; it may be he doth keep thee alive.'
Moun pa l' yo vin jwenn li, yo di l' konsa: -Nou tande jan wa peyi Izrayèl yo se moun ki gen bon kè. Ban nou otorizasyon pou n' al jwenn wa peyi Izrayèl la. N'ap mete rad sak sou nou tankou moun yo fè prizonye. Ou pa janm konnen li ka sove lavi ou.
32 And they gird sackcloth on their loins, and ropes [are] on their heads, and they come in unto the king of Israel, and say, 'Thy servant Ben-Hadad hath said, Let me live, I pray thee;' and he saith, 'Is he yet alive? he [is] my brother.'
Se konsa yo mete rad sak sou yo tankou moun ki nan lapenn, yo plòtonnen moso kòd nan kou yo, y' al jwenn Akab, yo di l' konsa: -Bennadad voye di ou, monwa, se esklav ou li ye. Tanpri, pa touye l'. Akab reponn: -An! Msye vivan toujou. Mwen byen kontan! Se yon frè li ye pou mwen wi!
33 And the men observe diligently, and hasten, and catch it from him, and say, 'Thy brother Ben-Hadad;' and he saith, 'Go ye in, bring him;' and Ben-Hadad cometh out unto him, and he causeth him to come up on the chariot.
Moun Bennadad yo pran sa pou yon bon siy, yo repete pawòl ki te fèk sot nan bouch wa a, yo di l' konsa: -Bennadad, se frè monwa! Akab reponn: -Al chache l' mennen ban mwen! Bennadad soti kote l' te ye a, li parèt devan Akab, Akab fè l' moute sou cha pa l' ansanm avè l'.
34 And he saith unto him, 'The cities that my father took from thy father, I give back, and streets thou dost make for thee in Damascus, as my father did in Samaria;' — 'and I, with a covenant, send thee away;' and he maketh with him a covenant, and sendeth him away.
Bennadad di li: -M'ap renmèt ou tout lavil papa m' te pran nan men papa ou yo. Ou mèt louvri boutik nan lavil Damas pou vann, menm jan papa m' te fè l' lavil Samari. Akab reponn li: -Si se konsa, w'ap pase yon kontra avè m', mwen menm m'ap kite ou al fè wout ou. Akab pase yon kontra avèk Bennadad, lèfini li kite l' al fè wout li.
35 And a certain man of the sons of the prophets said unto his neighbour by the word of Jehovah, 'Smite me, I pray thee;' and the man refuseth to smite him,
Nan menm epòk sa a, Seyè a pale ak yon pwofèt nan gwoup pwofèt li yo. Li ba li lòd pou li mande yon lòt pwofèt ba l' kou. Men lòt pwofèt la derefize.
36 and he saith to him, 'Because that thou hast not hearkened to the voice of Jehovah, lo, thou art going from me, and the lion hath smitten thee;' and he goeth from him, and the lion findeth him, and smiteth him.
Lè sa a, premye pwofèt la di l' konsa: -Poutèt ou derefize obeyi lòd Seyè a, separe n'a separe, yon lyon ap touye ou. Konsa vre, ale premye pwofèt la ale, yon lyon vin rive, li touye lòt pwofèt la.
37 And he findeth another man, and saith, 'Smite me, I pray thee;' and the man smiteth him, smiting and wounding,
Apre sa, premye pwofèt la kontre yon lòt moun, li mande l' pou li ba l' kou. Nonm lan frape l' byen fò, jouk li mete san l' deyò.
38 and the prophet goeth and standeth for the king on the way, and disguiseth himself with ashes on his eyes.
Lèfini, pwofèt la kouvri figi l' ak yon moso twal pou moun pa rekonèt li, l' al kanpe bò wout la ap tann wa a pase.
39 And it cometh to pass — the king is passing by — that he hath cried unto the king, and saith, 'Thy servant went out into the midst of the battle, and lo, a man hath turned aside and bringeth in unto me a man, and saith, Keep this man; if he be at all missing, then hath thy life been for his life, or a talent of silver thou dost weigh out;
Lè wa a vin ap pase, pwofèt la pran pale byen fò, li di konsa: -Monwa, mwen te nan mitan batay la, mwen t'ap goumen lè yon sòlda mennen yon lènmi li te fè prizonye. Li di m' konsa: Veye msye pou mwen. Si ou kite l' chape anba men ou, m'ap touye ou osinon w'ap peye twamil (3.000) pyès an ajan pou li.
40 and it cometh to pass, thy servant is working hither and thither, and he is not!' and the king of Israel saith unto him, Right [is] thy judgment; thou hast determined [it].'
Men, monwa, pandan m' okipe ap fè lòt bagay, prizonye a sove. Wa Izrayèl la di l' konsa: -Se ou menm ki kondannen tèt ou, lèfini ou tou di sa ou gen pou peye pou sa ou fè a!
41 And he hasteth and turneth aside the ashes from off his eyes, and the king of Israel discerneth him, that he [is] of the prophets,
Pwofèt la prese wete moso twal ki te bouche figi l' la. Lamenm wa a rekonèt se yonn nan pwofèt yo.
42 and he saith unto him, 'Thus said Jehovah, Because thou hast sent away the man I devoted, out of [thy] hand, even thy life hath been for his life, and thy people for his people;'
Pwofèt la di wa a: -Men mesaj Seyè a voye di ou: Poutèt ou kite moun mwen te bay lòd pou yo touye a chape, se ou menm ki pral peye pou li. Ou pral mouri. Se lame ou ki pral peye pou lame pa l'. Yo pral mouri.
43 and the king of Israel goeth unto his house, sulky and wroth, and cometh in to Samaria.
Se konsa, wa peyi Izrayèl la tounen lakay li lavil Samari, li te boulvèse, men li byen mare.
