1 Wa 13
1 Lè sa a, Seyè a bay yonn nan pwofèt li yo ki te nan peyi Jida lòd pou li moute lavil Betèl. Lè li rive lavil Betèl, Jewoboram te kanpe bò lotèl la ap boule lansan.
And behold, there came a man of God out of Juda by the word of the Lord to Baethel, and Jeroboam stood at the altar to sacrifice.
2 Dapre lòd Seyè a te ba li a, pwofèt la pale byen fò, li bay mesaj sa a sou lotèl la: -Ou menm lotèl! Wi, ou menm lotèl! Men sa Seyè a di: Nan fanmi David la, gen yon timoun ki pral fèt, y'ap rele l' Jozyas. L'ap vini, l'ap pran tout prèt k'ap sèvi nan kay zidòl yo, prèt k'ap boule lansan sou ou yo, l'ap touye yo sou ou. Lèfini, sou ou ankò y'a boule zosman moun.
And he cried against the altar by the word of the Lord, and said, O altar, altar, thus says the Lord, Behold, a son is [to be] born to the house of David, Josias by name; and he shall offer upon you the priests of the high places, [even] of them that sacrifice upon you, and [he] shall burn men's bones upon you.
3 Menm jou sa a pwofèt la bay yon siy, li di konsa: -Lotèl sa a pral fann de bò. Sann dife ki sou li a pral gaye tout atè a. Lè n'a wè sa, n'a konnen se Seyè a menm ki pale nan bouch mwen.
And in that day one shall give a sign, saying, This [is] the word which the Lord has spoken, saying, Behold, the altar is tore, and the fatness upon it shall be poured out.
4 Lè Jewoboram tande pawòl pwofèt la te di sou lotèl Betèl la, li lonje men l' anwo lotèl la sou pwofèt la, li di: -Pran msye! Men, men li te lonje sou pwofèt la rete tou rèd, li pa t' ka fè yon mouvman avè l' ankò.
And it came to pass when king Jeroboam heard the words of the man of God who called on the altar that was in Baethel, that the king stretched forth his hand from the altar, saying, Take hold of him. And, behold, his hand, which he stretched forth against him, withered, and he could not draw it back to himself.
5 Lamenm, lotèl la rete konsa, li fann de bò, epi sann dife ki te sou li a gaye tout atè a, jan pwofèt la te di sa nan non Seyè a.
And the altar was tore, and the fatness was poured out from the altar, according to the sign which the man of God gave by the word of the Lord.
6 wa Jewoboram pran lapawòl ankò, li di pwofèt Bondye a konsa: -Tanpri, lapriyè Seyè a, Bondye ou la, pou mwen. Mande l' pou l' geri men m'. Pwofèt la lapriyè Seyè a vre, epi men wa a geri, li vin jan li te ye anvan an.
And king Jeroboam said to the man of God, Intreat the Lord your God, and let my hand be restored to me. And the man of God entreated the Lord, and he restored the king's hand to him, and it became as before.
7 Apre sa, wa a di pwofèt la konsa: -Ann al lakay avè m'. W'a manje. Lèfini, m'a fè ou kado kichòy.
And the king said to the man of God, Enter with me into the house, and dine, and I will give you a gift.
8 Pwofèt la reponn: -Ou ta mèt ban mwen mwatye nan tout richès ou yo, mwen p'ap mete pwent pye m' lakay ou. Mwen p'ap manje pen, ni mwen p'ap bwè dlo isit la.
And the man of God said to the king, If you should give me the half of your house, I would not go in with you, neither will I eat bread, neither will I drink water in this place; for thus the Lord charged me by [his] word, saying,
9 Paske, Seyè a te ban mwen lòd pou m' pa ni manje ni bwè anyen, lèfini pou m' pa pran menm chemen mwen te vini an pou m' tounen lakay mwen.
Eat no bread, and drink no water, and return not by the way by which you came.
10 Se konsa li pran yon lòt wout pou l' tounen lakay li, li pa pran menm chemen li te pran lè li t'ap vini lavil Betèl la.
So he departed by another way, and returned not by the way by which he came to Baethel.
11 Nan tan sa a, te gen yon pwofèt ki te rete lavil Betèl. Li te granmoun anpil. Pitit gason l' yo vin rakonte l' tou sa pwofèt Bondye a te fè jou sa a lavil Betèl, ak tou sa li te di wa Jewoboram.
And there lived an old prophet in Baethel; and his sons came and told him all the works that the man of God did on that day in Baethel, and the words which he spoke to the king: and they turned the face of their father.
12 Pwofèt la mande yo ki wout yo wè l' pran. Pitit gason l' yo moutre l' chemen pwofèt Bondye ki te soti peyi Jida a te pran.
And their father spoke to them, saying, Which way went he? and his sons show him the way by which the man of God who came out of Juda went up.
13 Li di pitit gason l' yo sele bourik li pou li. Yo sele bourik li a, li moute sou li,
And he said to his sons, Saddle me the ass: and they saddled him the ass, and he mounted it,
14 li pati dèyè pwofèt Bondye a. Li jwenn li chita anba yon pye chenn. Li mande l': -Se ou menm pwofèt Bondye ki soti peyi Jida a? Nonm lan reponn: -Se mwen wi!
and went after the man of God, and found him sitting under an oak: and he said to him, Are you the man of God that came out of Juda? And he said to him, I [am].
15 Li di l' konsa: -Ann al lakay avè m'. W'a manje kichòy!
And he said to him, Come with me, and eat bread.
16 Men pwofèt peyi Jida a di l': -Non, m' pa ka tounen avè ou, ni m' pa ka al lakay ou. Lèfini, m' p'ap manje, m' p'ap bwè anyen avè ou isit la.
And he said, I shall not by any means be able to return with you, neither will I eat bread, neither will I drink water in this place.
17 Paske Seyè a te ban m' lòd pou m' pa t' ni manje ni bwè anyen avè ou isit la, lèfini pou m' pa pran menm chemen mwen te pase pou m' vini an pou m' tounen.
For thus the Lord commanded me by word, saying, Eat not bread there, and drink not water, and return not there by the way by which you came.
18 Lè sa a pwofèt lavil Betèl la di l': -Mwen menm tou, mwen se yon pwofèt tankou ou. Se Seyè a menm ki te voye yonn nan zanj li yo vin di m' pou m' fè ou tounen lakay ansanm avè m', lèfini pou m' ba ou manje, pou m' ba ou bwè! Men se manti pwofèt lavil Betèl la t'ap ba li.
And he said to him, I also am a prophet as you [are]; and an angel spoke to me by the word of the Lord, saying, Bring him back to you into your house, and let him eat bread and drink water: but he lied to him.
19 Se konsa pwofèt peyi Jida a tounen lakay pwofèt Betèl la, li manje, li bwè avè l'.
And he brought him back, and he ate bread and drank water in his house.
20 Yo te chita bò tab la toujou lè Seyè a pale ak pwofèt Betèl la
And it came to pass while they were sitting at the table, that the word of the Lord came to the prophet that brought him back;
21 ki pale byen move ak pwofèt peyi Jida a. Li di l' byen fò: -Seyè a di ou ou pa koute lòd li te ba ou, ou pa fè sa li te mande ou fè a.
and he spoke to the man of God that came out of Juda, saying, Thus says the Lord, Because you have resisted the word of the Lord, and have not kept the commandment which the Lord your God commanded you,
22 Okontrè, ou tounen, ou manje, ou bwè yon kote li te ba ou lòd pa fè sa. Se poutèt sa w'ap mouri, lèfini, ou p'ap antere nan kavo fanmi ou.
but have returned, and eaten bread and drunk water in the place of which he spoke to you, saying, You shall not eat bread, and shall not drink water; [therefore] your body shall in nowise enter into the sepulchre of your fathers.
23 Lè yo fin manje, pwofèt lavil Betèl la sele bourik pwofèt peyi Jida a pou li.
And it came to pass after he had eaten bread and drunk water, that he saddled the ass for him, and he turned and departed.
24 Pwofèt peyi Jida a pati. Li kontre ak yon lyon sou chemen li, lyon an touye l'. Kadav li te blayi atè a nan mitan chimen an. Bourik la ak lyon an te rete la bò kote l'.
And a lion found him in the way, and killed him; and his body was cast out in the way, and the ass was standing by it, and the lion [also] was standing by the body.
25 Moun ki t'ap pase bò la wè kadav la atè nan chimen an ansanm ak lyon an bò kote l'. Yo antre lavil Betèl kote pwofèt granmoun lan te rete a, yo rakonte sa yo wè.
And, behold, men [were] passing by, and saw the carcase cast in the way, and the lion was standing near the carcase: and they went in and spoke [of it] in the city where the old prophet lived.
26 Lè pwofèt la tande sa, li di: -Se pwofèt ki te dezobeyi lòd Seyè a te ba li a. Konsa, Seyè a voye yon lyon atake l'. Lyon an kraze l', li touye l' jan Seyè a te di l' l'ap fè l' la.
And [the prophet] that turned him back out of the way heard, and said, This is the man of God who rebelled against the word of the Lord.
27 Li di pitit gason l' yo. -Sele bourik la pou mwen! Yo sele bourik msye.
[And he spoke to his sons, saying, Saddle me the ass, and they saddled it. ]
28 Msye pati, li jwenn kadav pwofèt peyi Jida a lonje atè a nan chimen an, bourik la ak lyon an kanpe bò kote l' toujou. Lyon an pa t' manje kadav la, ni li pa t' fè bourik la anyen.
And he went and found the body cast in the way, and the ass and the lion were standing by the body: and the lion had not devoured the body of the man of God, and had not torn the ass.
29 Pwofèt lavil Betèl l'a ranmase kadav l'a, li mete l' sou bourik la, li pote l' tounen lavil Betèl. Li pran lapenn pou li. Lèfini, li antere l'.
And the prophet took up the body of the man of God, and laid it on his ass; and the prophet brought him back to his city, to bury him in his own tomb,
30 Li mete kadav la nan kavo pwòp fanmi l'. Li menm ansanm ak pitit gason li yo kriye pou li, yo t'ap di: -Woy, frè mwen! Ou al kite m' vre?
and they bewailed him, [saying], Alas, brother.
31 Apre lantèman an, pwofèt la pale ak pitit gason l' yo. Li di yo: -Lè m'a mouri, n'a antere m' nan kavo sa a, n'a mete kadav mwen kole kole ak kadav pa l' la.
And it came to pass after he had lamented him, that he spoke to his sons, saying, Whenever I die, bury me in this tomb wherein the man of God is buried; lay me by his bones, that my bones may be preserved with his bones.
32 Pawòl Seyè a te ba li lòd di sou lotèl lavil Betèl la ak sou lòt kote y'ap fè sèvis nan lavil Samari yo gen pou rive vre.
For the word will surely come to pass which he spoke by the word of the Lord against the altar in Baethel, and against the high houses in Samaria.
33 Apre tout bagay sa yo, Jewoboram, wa peyi Izrayèl la, donnen pi rèd nan vye bagay li t'ap fè yo. Li t'ap chwazi moun nan pèp la toujou pou sèvi prèt nan tanp li te bati pou zidòl yo. Depi yon moun te vle prèt, li te ba l' pouvwa a pou li te sèvi prèt nan tanp zidòl yo.
And after this Jeroboam turned not from his sin, but he turned and made of part of the people priests of the [high places]: whoever would, he consecrated him, and he became a priest for the high places.
34 Se konsa, tout fanmi Jewoboram lan lage kò yo nan fè sa ki mal. Se poutèt sa, tout fanmi sa a fini, li disparèt nèt sou latè.
And this thing became sin to the house of Jeroboam, even to its destruction and its removal from the face of the earth.
