1 Wa 16
1 Seyè a pale ak Jeou, pitit gason Anani. Li ba li mesaj sa a pou Bacha. Li di l' konsa:
Then this message from the Lord came to the prophet Jehu, son of Hanani, condemning Baasha.
2 -Bacha pa t' anyen menm. Men, mwen mete l' chèf sou pèp mwen an, pèp Izrayèl la. Koulye a menm, li fè tankou Jewoboram, lèfini li lakòz pèp la fè sa ki mal tou. Yo fè m' fache ak peche yo fè yo.
“Even though I lifted you out of the dust to make you ruler over my people Israel, you have followed the way of Jeroboam and have made my people Israel sin, making me angry by their sins.
3 Se konsa mwen pral disparèt Bacha ansanm ak tout fanmi li, tankou m' te fè fanmi Jewoboram lan.
Now I'm going to destroy Baasha and his family. Baasha, I will make your family like that of Jeroboam, son of Nebat.
4 Chen pral manje kadav moun nan fanmi li ki va mouri nan lavil la. Malfini karanklou va manje kadav sa ki va mouri andeyò yo.
Those of Baasha's family who die in the town will be eaten by dogs, and those who die in the countryside will be eaten by birds.”
5 Tout lòt istwa sou sa Bacha te fè yo, sou jan li te yon vanyan gason, n'a jwenn yo ekri nan liv Istwa wa peyi Izrayèl yo.
The rest of the events of Baasha's reign, everything that he did and what he accomplished, are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.
6 Lè Bacha mouri, yo antere l' lavil Tiza. Se Ela, pitit gason l', ki moute wa nan plas li.
Baasha died and was buried in Tirzah. His son Elah succeeded him as king.
7 Seyè a te bay pwofèt Jeou, pitit gason Anani an, mesaj sa a pou Bacha ak fanmi li poutèt peche Bacha te fè kont Seyè a. Li te fè Seyè a fache sou li non sèlman paske li te fè sa ki mal tankou moun fanmi Jewoboram yo, men tou paske li te touye tout moun nan fanmi Jewoboram lan.
The message from the Lord condemning Baasha and his family came to the prophet Jehu, son of Hanani. It came because Baasha had done what was evil in the Lord's sight, in the same way as the family of Jeroboam had done, and also because Baasha had killed Jeroboam's family. The Lord was angry because of Baasha's sins.
8 Wa Asa t'ap mache sou vennsizan depi li t'ap gouvènen peyi Jida lè Ela, pitit gason Bacha, moute wa peyi Izrayèl la. Li gouvènen pandan dezan lavil Tiza.
Elah, son of Baasha, became king of Israel in the twenty-sixth year of the reign of King Asa of Judah. He reigned in Tirzah for two years.
9 Zimri, yonn nan chèf li yo ki te reskonsab mwatye cha lagè wa a, moute yon konplo kont wa a. Yon jou, Ela te lavil Tiza, li t'ap bwè gwòg lakay Atza ki te reskonsab palè wa a.
One of Elah's officials called Zimri who was in charge of half his chariots plotted a rebellion against him. One time Elah was in Tirzah, getting himself drunk at the home of Arza, the palace manager at Tirzah.
10 Zimri antre nan kay la, li touye wa Ela, li pran plas li sou fotèy la. Tou sa pase nan vennsetyèm lanne rèy Asa, wa peyi Jida a.
Zimri went up to him, attacked him, and killed him. This was in the twenty-seventh year of the reign of Asa, king of Judah. Then he took over from him as king.
11 Moute Zimri moute wa, li touye dènye moun nan fanmi Bacha a. Li touye tout gason ki te fanmi l' osinon zanmi l'.
As soon as he became king and was installed on his throne, he killed all of Baasha's family. He did not leave a single male alive, whether of his relatives or of his friends.
12 Se konsa Zimri te touye tout fanmi Bacha a, jan Seyè a te mete pawòl la nan bouch pwofèt Jeou a.
So Zimri destroyed the entire household of Baasha, as the Lord had said in his condemnation of Baasha through Jehu the prophet.
13 Paske Bacha ak Ela, pitit li a, te fè Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, fache ak vye zidòl yo. Yo te peche kont Seyè a, yo te lakòz pèp la fè sa ki mal tou.
This was because of all the sins Baasha and his son Elah had committed and had made Israel to commit. Their worship of their useless idols had angered the Lord, the God of Israel.
14 Tout lòt bagay Ela te fè yo, n'a jwenn yo ekri nan liv Istwa wa peyi Izrayèl la.
The rest of what happened in Elah's reign and everything that he did are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.
15 Wa Asa t'ap mache sou vennsetan depi li t'ap gouvènen peyi Jida a, lè Zimri pran pouvwa a pou sèt grenn jou lavil Tiza nan peyi Izrayèl. Lè sa a, lame pèp Izrayèl la t'ap sènen lavil Gibeton nan peyi Filisti.
Zimri became king of Israel in the twenty-seventh year of the reign of King Asa of Judah. He reigned in Tirzah seven days. At that time the Israelite army was attacking the Philistine town of Gibbethon.
16 Lè sòlda yo pran nouvèl Zimri te fè konplo sou wa a, li te menm touye l', lapoula yo nonmen Omri, kòmandan lame a, wa peyi Izrayèl.
When the troops who were camped there learned that Zimri had plotted rebellion against the king and had murdered him, they made Omri, the army commander, king of Israel that same day in the army camp.
17 Omri kite lavil Gibeton ansanm ak tout lame a, li moute, l' al sènen lavil Tiza.
Omri and the whole Israelite army left Gibbethon and went and besieged Tirzah.
18 Lò Zimri wè lavil la tapral tonbe nan men Omri, li antre nan ti fò ki sou tèt palè wa a, li mete dife nan palè a, epi li mouri nan dife a.
When Zimri saw that the city had been taken he went into the fortress of the royal palace and set it on fire around him, and he died, because of the sins he had committed.
19 Sa te pase konsa paske Zimri te fè sa ki mal nan je Seyè a. Tankou Jewoboram, li pa t' fè sa ki dwat devan Seyè a, li te lakòz pèp Izrayèl la fè peche tou.
He did evil in the Lord's sight and followed the way of Jeroboam and his sin which he had made Israel commit.
20 Tout lòt bagay Zimri te fè ak istwa konplo li te moute a, n'a jwenn sa ekri nan liv Istwa wa peyi Izrayèl yo.
The rest of what happened in Zimri's reign and his rebellion are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.
21 Lè sa a, moun peyi Izrayèl yo te fè de kan: Mwatye ladan yo te vle fè Tibni, pitit gason Genat la, wa. Mwatye te pou Omri.
After this the people of Israel were divided. Half supported Tibni, son of Ginath, as king, while the other half supported Omri.
22 Patizan Omri yo kraze patizan Tibni, pitit gason Genat la. Tibni mouri, Omri moute wa.
However, those on Omri's side defeated Tibni's supporters. Tibni was killed and Omri became king.
23 Se konsa nan tranteyenyèm lanne rèy Asa, wa peyi Jida, Omri moute wa peyi Izrayèl. Li gouvènen peyi a pandan douzan. Pandan sizan, li gouvènen nan lavil Tiza.
Omri became king of Israel in the thirty-first year of the reign of King Asa of Judah. He reigned for a total of twelve years, (six of them were in Tirzah).
24 Apre sa, li achte mòn Samari a pou simil (6.000) pyès ajan nan men yon nonm yo te rele Chemè. Omri bati yon lavil sou tèt mòn lan, li rele l' Samari, dapre non Chemè, ansyen mèt tè a.
He purchased the hill of Samaria from Shemer for two talents of silver. He fortified the hill, and named the city that he built Samaria, after Shemer, the previous owner of the hill.
25 Omri fè sa ki mal nan je Seyè a. Li fè pi mal pase moun ki te chèf anvan l' yo.
Omri did what was evil in the Lord's sight—in fact he did more evil than those who lived before him.
26 Li mache pye pou pye dèyè Jewoboram, pitit Nebat la: li fè sa ki mal, li lakòz pèp la fè sa ki mal tou. Se konsa yo te fè Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, fache ak vye zidòl yo.
For he followed all the ways of Jeroboam, son of Nebat, and in his sins which he made Israel commit, worshiping their useless idols which angered the Lord, the God of Israel.
27 Tout lòt istwa sou sa Omri te fè yo, sou jan li te yon vanyan gason, n'a jwenn sa ekri nan liv Istwa wa peyi Izrayèl yo.
The rest of what happened in Omri's reign, what he did, and his achievements are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Israel.
28 Lè Omri mouri, yo antere l' lavil Samari. Se Akab, pitit gason l' lan, ki moute wa nan plas li.
Omri died and was buried in Samaria. His son Ahab succeeded him as king.
29 Wa Asa te gen trantwitan depi li t'ap gouvènen peyi Jida a lè Akab, pitit Omri a, moute wa peyi Izrayèl. Pandan venndezan li gouvènen peyi Izrayèl nan lavil Samari.
Ahab, son of Omri, became king of Israel in the thirty-eighth year of the reign of King Asa of Judah. He reigned in Samaria for twenty-two years.
30 Li fè sa ki mal nan je Seyè a. Li fè pi mal pase tout moun ki te chèf anvan l' yo.
Ahab, son of Omri, did evil in the Lord's sight, more than those who lived before him.
31 Non sèlman li te fè tankou Jewoboram, pitit Nebat la, men l' ale pi lwen toujou. Li marye ak Jezabèl, pitit fi Elbaal, wa peyi Sidon. Li pran sèvi Baal, l' al met ajenou devan li.
He didn't see anything to worry about in following the sins of Jeroboam, son of Nebat, and he even married Jezebel, daughter of Ethbaal, king of the Sidonians, and started to serve and worship Baal.
32 Nan mitan lavil Samari, li bati yon tanp pou Baal, li mete yon lotèl ladan l'.
Ahab made an altar for Baal in the temple of Baal that he had built in Samaria.
33 Li fè yon estati pou Astate tou. Li fè pi mal pase tout lòt wa peyi Izrayèl ki te pase anvan l' yo pou fè Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, fache.
Then he put up an Asherah pole. In this way Ahab did more to anger the Lord, the God of Israel, than all the kings of Israel before him.
34 Se pandan rèy Akab la, yon nonm yo rele Iyèl, moun lavil Betèl, rebati lavil Jeriko. Men, pawòl Seyè a te di Jozye, pitit Noun lan, rive vre. Abiram, premye pitit Iyèl la, mouri lè yo t'ap fouye fondasyon lavil la, lèfini Segoub, dezyèm pitit gason Iyèl la, mouri lè yo t'ap moute pòtay lavil la.
During Ahab's reign Hiel of Bethel rebuilt Jericho. He sacrificed Abiram his firstborn son when he laid its foundation, and sacrificed Segub his youngest son when he constructed its gates. This fulfilled the message the Lord had given through Joshua, son of Nun.
