1 Wa 22
1 Pandan twazan, pa t' gen lagè ant peyi Izrayèl ak peyi Siri.
And he rested three years, and there was no war between Syria and Israel.
2 Men nan twazyèm lanne a, Jozafa, wa peyi Jida a, al vizite Akab, wa peyi Izrayèl la.
And it came to pass in the third year, that Josaphat king of Juda went down to the king of Israel.
3 Wa Izrayèl la di chèf li yo: -Nou konnen lavil Ramòt ki nan peyi Galarad la se pou nou li ye. Poukisa nou pa fè anyen pou nou reprann li nan men wa peyi Siri a?
And the king of Israel said to his servants, Know you that Remmath Galaad [is] ours, and we are slow to take it out of the hand of the king of Syria?
4 Lèfini li mande Jozafa: -Eske w'ap vin avè m' pou atake lavil Ramòt nan peyi Galarad la? Jozafa reponn li: -Mwen menm ak tout sòlda mwen yo ak kavalye mwen yo, nou avè ou ansanm ak pèp ou a: se yonn lan nou ye.
And the king of Israel said to Josaphat, Will you go up with us to Remmath Galaad to battle?
5 Apre sa, Jozafa di Akab, wa peyi Izrayèl la: -Annou mande Seyè a sa li di nan sa.
And Josaphat said, As I [am], so [are] you also; as my people, [so is] your people; as my horses, [so are] your horses. And Josaphat king of Juda said to the king of Israel, Enquire, I pray you, of the Lord today.
6 Se konsa Akab reyini katsan (400) pwofèt li yo, li mande yo: -Eske se pou m' al atake lavil Ramòt nan peyi Galarad la, osinon èske se pou m' kite sa? Yo reponn li: -Atake l', monwa! Seyè a ap lage l' nan men ou.
And the king of Israel gathered all the prophets together, about four hundred men; and the king said to them, Shall I go up to Remmath Galaad to battle, or shall I forbear? and they said, Go up, and the Lord will surely give [it] into the hands of the king.
7 Lè sa a, Jozafa di konsa: -Pa gen lòt pwofèt nou ta ka mande si se volonte Seyè a pou n' al fè sa vre?
And Josaphat said to the king of Israel, Is there not here a prophet of the Lord, that we may enquire of the Lord by him?
8 Akab reponn: -Gen yon lòt pwofèt ankò ki ta ka fè sa pou nou. Se Miche, pitit gason Jimla a. Men, m' rayi l', paske li pa janm di anyen ki pou bon pou mwen. Li toujou wè malè pou mwen. Jozafa reponn: -Pa di sa, monchè!
And the king of Israel said to Josaphat, There is one man here [for us] to enquire of the Lord by; but I hate him, for he does not speak good of me, but only evil; Michaias son of Jemblaa. And Josaphat king of Juda said, Let not the king say so.
9 Se konsa Akab rele yonn nan nèg konfyans li yo, li di li: -Prese al chache Miche, pitit gason Jimla a, pou mwen.
And the king of Israel called a eunuch and said, [Bring hither] quickly Michaias son of Jemblaa.
10 Wa peyi Izrayèl la ak Jozafa, wa peyi Jida a, te chita, yo chak sou fotèy pa yo ak bèl rad wa yo sou yo, sou gwo glasi ki bò pòtay lavil Samari a sou deyò. Tout pwofèt yo te la devan yo ap bay mesaj pa yo.
And the king of Israel and Josaphat king of Juda sat, each on his throne, armed in the gates of Samaria; and all the prophets prophesied before them.
11 Yonn ladan yo te rele Sedesyas. Se te pitit Kenana. Li fè fè de kòn an fè. Li di: -Men sa Seyè a di: Avèk kòn sa yo, ou pral atake moun Siri yo, ou pral fini ak yo.
And Sedekias son of Chanaan made for himself iron horns, and said, Thus says the Lord, With these you shall push Syria, until it be consumed.
12 Tout lòt pwofèt yo t'ap bay menm mesaj la tou. Yo t'ap di: -Ou mèt al atake Ramòt nan peyi Galarad. W'ap bon. Seyè a ap lage lavil la nan men ou.
And all the prophets prophesied in like manner, saying, Go up to Remmath Galaad, and [the thing] shall prosper, and the Lord shall deliver it and the king of Syria into your hands.
13 Mesaje ki te pati al rele Miche a di Miche konsa: -Tout lòt pwofèt yo te pale anfavè wa a. Ranje kò ou pou pale tankou yo tout. Pale anfavè wa a.
And the messenger that went to call Michaias spoke to him, saying, Behold now, all the prophets speak with one mouth good concerning the king, let now your words be like the words of one of them, and speak good things.
14 Men, Miche reponn li: -Mwen pran Seyè a, Bondye vivan an, sèvi m' temwen. Sa Seyè a va di m' di se sa m'a di.
And Michaias said, [As] the Lord lives, whatever the Lord shall say to me, that will I speak.
15 Lè Miche rive devan wa a, wa a di l' konsa: -Miche, èske se pou m' al atake lavil Ramòt nan peyi Galarad, osinon èske sè pou m' kite sa? Miche reponn: -Ou mèt al atake Ramòt nan peyi Galarad. W'ap bon. Seyè a ap lage lavil la nan men ou.
And he came to the king: and the king said to him, Michaias, shall I go up to Remmath Galaad to battle, or shall I forbear? and he said, Go up, and the Lord shall deliver it into the hand of the king.
16 Men Akab di li: -Konbe fwa pou m' di ou lè w'ap pale avè m' nan non Seyè a se pou di m' laverite?
And the king said to him, How often shall I adjure you, that you speak to me truth in the name of the Lord?
17 Lè sa a, Miche reponn li: -Mwen wè tout sòlda pèp Izrayèl yo gaye toupatou sou mòn yo, tankou yon bann mouton san gadò. Seyè a di: Moun sa yo san chèf. Kite yo tounen lakay yo ak kè poze.
And he said, Not so. I saw all Israel scattered on the mountains as a flock without a shepherd: and the Lord said, [Is] not God lord of these? let each one return to his home in peace.
18 Akab, wa peyi Izrayèl la, di Jozafa: -Mwen pa t' di ou li pa janm di anyen ki bon pou mwen. Li toujou wè malè pou mwen.
And the king of Israel said to Josaphat king of Juda, Did I not say to you that this man does not prophesy good to me, for [he speaks] nothing but evil?
19 Miche pran lapawòl ankò li di: -Bon! Koute mesaj Seyè a. Mwen te wè Seyè a chita sou fotèy li nan syèl la, avèk tout zanj li yo kanpe bò kote l', sou bò dwat ak sou bò gòch li.
And Michaias said, Not so, [it is] not I: hear the word of the Lord; [it is] not so. I saw the God of Israel sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven stood about him on his right hand and on his left.
20 Seyè a t'ap mande ki moun ki vle al pran tèt Akab pou l' al fè yo touye l' lavil Ramòt. Gen zanj ki di yon bagay, gen lòt zanj ki di yon lòt bagay.
And the Lord said, Who will deceive Achaab king of Israel, that he may go up and fall in Remmath Galaad? and one spoke one way, and another another way.
21 Se lè sa a, yon lespri vanse devan Seyè a, li di: Mwen pral pran tèt li.
And there came forth a spirit and stood before the Lord, and said, I will deceive him.
22 Seyè a mande l': Ki jan? Lespri a reponn: Mwen pral mete pawòl manti nan bouch pwofèt Akab yo. Seyè a di l': W'a pran tèt li vre konsa. Ou mèt al fè jan ou di a.
And the Lord said to him, Whereby? And he said, I will go forth, and will be a false spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, You shall deceive him, yes, and shall prevail: go forth, and do so.
23 Koulye a, ou konnen si Seyè a te mete yon lespri mantò sou pwofèt ou yo pou yo ba ou manti, se paske li pran desizyon pou l' fini avè ou.
And now, behold, the Lord has put a false spirit in the mouth of all these your prophets, and the Lord has spoken evil against you.
24 Lè sa a, Sedesyas, pitit Kenana a, mache sou Miche, li flanke li yon souflèt. Epi li di l': -Depi kilè lespri Bondye a kite m' pou se nan bouch ou l'ap pale a?
And Sedekias the son of Chanaan came near and struck Michaias on the cheek, and said, What sort of a spirit of the Lord [has] spoken in you?
25 Miche reponn li: -W'a konn sa lè w'a kouri pase soti nan yon chanm antre nan yon lòt pou al kache jouk nan fon!
And Michaias said, Behold, you shall see in that day, when you shall go into an innermost chamber to hide yourself there.
26 Se konsa, wa Akab pase yon lòd, li di: -Pran Miche. Mennen l' bay Amon, gouvènè lavil la, ak Joas, pitit wa a.
And the king of Israel said, Take Michaias, and convey him away to Semer the keeper of the city;
27 Di yo mwen bay lòd pou yo mete l' nan prizon, pou yo ba li renk pen ak dlo jouk m'a tounen soti nan lagè a san danje ni malè.
and tell Joas the king's son to put this [fellow] in prison, and to feed him with bread of affliction and water of affliction until I return in peace.
28 Lè sa a, Miche di: -Si ou tounen soti nan lagè a san danje ni malè vre, w'a konnen Seyè a pa t' pale nan bouch mwen. Lèfini, li di: -Nou tout pèp yo, koute sa m' di la a wi!
And Michaias said, If you return at all in peace, the Lord has not spoken by me.
29 Se konsa Akab, wa peyi Izrayèl la ansanm ak Jozafa, wa peyi Jida a, moute al atake lavil Ramòt nan peyi Galarad.
So the king of Israel went up, and Josaphat king of Juda with him to Remmath Galaad.
30 Akab di Jozafa konsa: -Mwen pral mete yon lòt rad sou mwen anvan m' al goumen an, pou moun pa rekonèt mwen. Ou menm, ou mèt mete rad wa ou sou ou. Se konsa wa peyi Izrayèl la chanje rad sou li pou moun pa rekonèt li. Apre sa, l' al goumen.
And the king of Israel said to Josaphat king of Juda, I will disguise myself, and enter into the battle, and do you put on my raiment. So the king of Israel disguised himself, and went into the battle.
31 Men, wa peyi Siri a te bay trannde chèf ki t'ap kòmande cha lagè yo pou yo pa atake pesonn pase wa peyi Izrayèl la.
And the king of Syria had charged the thirty-two captains of his chariots, saying, Fight not [against] small or great, but against the king of Israel only.
32 Se konsa, lè kòmandan cha lagè yo wè Jozafa, yo tout te konprann se li ki te wa peyi Izrayèl la. Yo vire sou li pou atake l'. Men, Jozafa rele anmwe.
And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Josaphat king of Juda, that they said, this seems [to be] the king of Israel. And they compassed him about to fight [against] him; and Josaphat cried out.
33 Lè mesye yo tande sa, yo wè se pa t' wa peyi Izrayèl la. Yo rete sou sa yo te vle fè a.
And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw that this was not the king of Israel, that they returned from him.
34 Lè sa a, yon sòlda peyi Siri a rete konsa li voye yon flèch. Flèch la al pran Akab, wa Izrayèl la, nan fant rad lagè ki te sou li a. Wa a di sòlda ki t'ap mennen cha li a: -Kase tèt tounen. Annou kite batay la, paske mwen blese grav.
And one drew a bow with a good aim, and struck the king of Israel between the lungs and the breast-plate: and he said to his charioteer, Turn your hands, and carry me away out of the battle, for I am wounded.
35 Jou sa a, batay la te makònen anpil. Wa Akab menm te blije rete kanpe sou cha li a ap gade moun peyi Siri yo. San t'ap koule soti kote li te blese a, li sal tout anndan cha a. Rive aswè, li mouri.
And the war was turned in that day, and the king was standing on the chariot, against Syria from morning till evening; and he shed the blood out of his wound, into the bottom of the chariot, and died at even, and the blood ran out of the wound into the bottom of the chariot.
36 Lè solèy pral kouche, yon vwa pran pale nan zòrèy sòlda pèp Izrayèl yo, li t'ap di: -Chak moun al nan peyi yo, chak moun al lakay yo,
And the herald of the army stood at sunset, saying, Let every man go to his own city and his own land,
37 paske wa a mouri. Apre sa, yo mennen kadav wa a lavil Samari. Se la yo antere l'.
for the king is dead. And they came to Samaria, and buried the king in Samaria.
38 Y' al lave cha wa a nan basen Samari a, kote jennès yo konn al benyen an. Chen vin niche san Akab la jan Seyè a te di sa t'ap rive a.
And they washed the chariot at the fountain of Samaria; and the swine and the dogs licked up the blood, and the harlots washed themselves in the blood, according to the word of the Lord which he spoke.
39 Tout rès istwa Akab la ansanm ak tou sa li te fè, bèl palè ivwa ak lavil li te bati yo, n'a jwenn tou sa ekri nan liv Istwa wa peyi Izrayèl yo.
And the rest of the acts of Achaab, and all that he did, and the ivory house which he built, and all the cities which he built, behold, [are] not these things written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
40 Lè Akab mouri, se pitit li, Okozyas ki moute wa nan plas li.
And Achaab slept with his fathers, and Ochozias his son reigned in his stead.
41 Akab te gen katran depi li t'ap gouvènen peyi Izrayèl la lè Jozafa, pitit Asa a, moute sou fotèy wa peyi Jida a.
And Josaphat the son of Asa reigned over Juda: in the fourth year of Achaab king of Israel began Josaphat to reign.
42 Lè sa a, li te gen trannsenkan sou tèt li. Li pase vennsenkan ap gouvènen lavil Jerizalèm. Manman li te rele Azouba. Se te pitit fi Chilki.
Thirty and five years old [was he] when he began to reign, and he reigned twenty and five years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name [was] Azuba daughter of Salai.
43 Jozafa li menm te swiv Asa, papa l', pye pou pye nan tou sa l' te fè. Li te fè sa ki dwat devan Seyè a. Tansèlman, tanp zidòl yo te la toujou nan peyi a, kifè pèp la pa t' sispann fè sèvis, touye bèt pou zidòl yo.
And he walked in all the way of Asa his father: he turned not from it, even from doing that which was right in the eyes of the Lord. Only he took not away [any] of the high places: the people still sacrificed and burnt incense on the high places.
44 Jozafa te siyen lapè ak wa peyi Izrayèl la.
And Josaphat was at peace with the king of Israel.
45 n'a jwenn rès istwa Jozafa a nan liv Istwa wa peyi Jida yo. Se la yo rakonte jan li te yon vanyan sòlda, ak tout lagè li te fè yo,
And the rest of the acts of Josaphat, and his mighty deeds, whatever he did, behold, [are] not these things written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Juda?
46 jan li disparèt rès gason ak fanm ki t'ap fè jennès nan kay zidòl yo toujou depi sou rèy Asa, papa l'.
47 (Lè sa a, pa t' gen wa nan peyi Edon. Se yon gouvènè wa Jida a te mete pou gouvènen yo.)
48 Jozafa te fè fè kèk gwo batiman, tankou batiman moun Tasis yo, pou al chache lò nan peyi Ofi. Men, batiman yo pa janm rive al fè vwayaj la, paske yo kraze bò Ezyongebè.
49 Lè sa a, Okozyas, pitit Akab la, ofri pou maren peyi Izrayèl yo ale ansanm ak maren peyi Jida yo sou batiman pa yo. Men, Jozafa derefize.
50 Lè Jozafa mouri, yo antere l' nan Lavil David, zansèt li a. Se pitit li, Joram, ki moute sou fotèy la nan plas li.
And Josaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried by his fathers in the city of David his father, and Joram his son reigned in his stead.
51 Jozafa t'ap mache sou disetan depi li te wa peyi Jida a, lè Okozyas, pitit Akab, moute sou fotèy wa peyi Izrayèl la. Li pase dezan ap gouvènen peyi Izrayèl la lavil Samari.
And Ochozias son of Achaab reigned over Israel in Samaria: in the seventeenth year of Josaphat king of Juda, Ochozias son of Achaab reigned over Israel in Samaria two years.
52 Li fè sa ki mal nan je Seyè a. Li swiv egzanp papa l' ak manman l'. Li fè tankou Jewoboram, pitit gason Nebat la, ki te lakòz moun pèp Izrayèl yo fè sa ki mal.
And he did that which was evil in the sight of the Lord, and walked in the way of Achaab his father, and in the way of Jezabel his mother, and in the sins of the house of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, who caused Israel to sin.
53 Li sèvi Baal, li adore l' tankou papa l' te fè a. Se konsa li te fè Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, fache anpil.
And he served Baalim, and worshipped them, and provoked the Lord God of Israel, according to all that had been done before him.
