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.
Behold, a man of God came out of Judah by the LORD’s word to Bethel; and Jeroboam was standing by the altar to burn incense.
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.
He cried against the altar by the LORD’s word, and said, “Altar! Altar! The LORD says: ‘Behold, a son will be born to David’s house, Josiah by name. On you he will sacrifice the priests of the high places who burn incense on you, and they will burn men’s bones on 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.
He gave a sign the same day, saying, “This is the sign which the LORD has spoken: Behold, the altar will be split apart, and the ashes that are on it will 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.
When the king heard the saying of the man of God, which he cried against the altar in Bethel, Jeroboam put out his hand from the altar, saying, “Seize him!” His hand, which he put out against him, dried up, so that he could not draw it back again 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.
The altar was also split apart, and the ashes poured out from the altar, according to the sign which the man of God had given by the LORD’s word.
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.
The king answered the man of God, “Now intercede for the favour of the LORD your God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored me again.” The man of God interceded with the LORD, and the king’s hand was restored to him again, and became as it was 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.
The king said to the man of God, “Come home with me and refresh yourself, and I will give you a reward.”
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.
The man of God said to the king, “Even if you gave me half of your house, I would not go in with you, neither would I eat bread nor drink water in this place;
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.
for so was it commanded me by the LORD’s word, saying, ‘You shall eat no bread, drink no water, and don’t return by the way that 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 went another way, and didn’t return by the way that he came to Bethel.
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.
Now an old prophet lived in Bethel, and one of his sons came and told him all the works that the man of God had done that day in Bethel. They also told their father the words which he had spoken to the king.
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.
Their father said to them, “Which way did he go?” Now his sons had seen which way the man of God went, who came from Judah.
13 Li di pitit gason l' yo sele bourik li pou li. Yo sele bourik li a, li moute sou li,
He said to his sons, “Saddle the donkey for me.” So they saddled the donkey for him; and he rode on 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!
He went after the man of God, and found him sitting under an oak. He said to him, “Are you the man of God who came from Judah?” He said, “I am.”
15 Li di l' konsa: -Ann al lakay avè m'. W'a manje kichòy!
Then he said to him, “Come home 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.
He said, “I may not return with you, nor go in with you. I will not eat bread or drink water with you 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 it was said to me by the LORD’s word, ‘You shall eat no bread or drink water there, and don’t turn again to go by the way that 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.
He said to him, “I also am a prophet as you are; and an angel spoke to me by the LORD’s word, saying, ‘Bring him back with you into your house, that he may eat bread and drink water.’” He lied to him.
19 Se konsa pwofèt peyi Jida a tounen lakay pwofèt Betèl la, li manje, li bwè avè l'.
So he went back with him, ate bread in his house, and drank water.
20 Yo te chita bò tab la toujou lè Seyè a pale ak pwofèt Betèl la
As they sat at the table, the LORD’s word came to the prophet who 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 cried out to the man of God who came from Judah, saying, “The LORD says, ‘Because you have been disobedient to the LORD’s word, 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 came back, and have eaten bread and drank water in the place of which he said to you, “Eat no bread, and drink no water,” your body will not come to the tomb of your fathers.’”
23 Lè yo fin manje, pwofèt lavil Betèl la sele bourik pwofèt peyi Jida a pou li.
After he had eaten bread and after he drank, he saddled the donkey for the prophet whom he had brought back.
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'.
When he had gone, a lion met him by the way and killed him. His body was thrown on the path, and the donkey stood by it. The lion also stood 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.
Behold, men passed by and saw the body thrown on the path, and the lion standing by the body; and they came and told 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.
When the prophet who brought him back from the way heard of it, he said, “It is the man of God who was disobedient to the LORD’s word. Therefore the LORD has delivered him to the lion, which has mauled him and slain him, according to the LORD’s word which he spoke to him.”
27 Li di pitit gason l' yo. -Sele bourik la pou mwen! Yo sele bourik msye.
He said to his sons, saying, “Saddle the donkey for me,” 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.
He went and found his body thrown on the path, and the donkey and the lion standing by the body. The lion had not eaten the body nor mauled the donkey.
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'.
The prophet took up the body of the man of God, and laid it on the donkey, and brought it back. He came to the city of the old prophet to mourn, and to bury him.
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?
He laid his body in his own grave; and they mourned over him, saying, “Alas, my 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.
After he had buried him, he spoke to his sons, saying, “When I am dead, bury me in the tomb in which the man of God is buried. Lay my bones beside 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 saying which he cried by the LORD’s word against the altar in Bethel, and against all the houses of the high places which are in the cities of Samaria, will surely happen.”
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.
After this thing, Jeroboam didn’t turn from his evil way, but again made priests of the high places from amongst all the people. Whoever wanted to, he consecrated him, that there might be priests of 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.
This thing became sin to the house of Jeroboam, even to cut it off and to destroy it from off the surface of the earth.
