2 Istwa 18
1 Jozafa te vin gen anpil richès, tout moun t'ap fè lwanj pou li. Li ranje yon maryaj ant yon moun nan fanmi l' ak yon moun nan fanmi Akab, wa peyi Izrayèl la.
Now Jehoshaphat had riches and honour in abundance, and joined affinity with Ahab.
2 Kèk lanne apre sa, Jozafa al rann Akab yon vizit lavil Samari. Lè sa a, Akab fè yon gwo fèt pou Jozafa ansanm ak moun ki te avè l' yo. Li te fè touye yon pakèt mouton ak bèf pou fèt la. Lèfini, li chache pran tèt Jozafa pou yo al atake lavil Ramòt nan peyi Galarad.
And after certain years he went down to Ahab to Samaria. And Ahab killed sheep and oxen for him in abundance, and for the people that he had with him, and persuaded him to go up with him to Ramothgilead.
3 Akab, wa peyi Izrayèl la, di Jozafa, wa peyi Jida a: -Eske w'ap vin avè m' pou atake lavil Ramòt nan peyi Galarad la? Jozafa reponn li: -Mwen menm ak tout sòlda mwen yo, nou avè ou ansanm ak pèp ou a. Se yonn nou ye!
And Ahab king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat king of Judah, Will you go with me to Ramothgilead? And he answered him, I am as you are, and my people as your people; and we will be with you in the war.
4 Apre sa, Jozafa di Akab, wa peyi Izrayèl la: -Tanpri, annou mande Seyè a sa li di nan sa.
And Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Israel, Enquire, I pray you, at the word of the LORD to day.
5 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? Pwofèt yo reponn li: -Atake l', monwa! Seyè a ap lage l' nan men ou!
Therefore the king of Israel gathered together of prophets four hundred men, and said unto them, Shall we go to Ramothgilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up; for God will deliver it into the king's hand.
6 Lè sa a, Jozafa di konsa: -Pa gen lòt pwofèt nou ta ka mande si se volonte Seyè a pou n' al fè sa?
But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the LORD besides, that we might enquire of him?
7 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 bon pou mwen. Li toujou wè malè pou mwen. Jozafa reponn: -Pa di sa, monchè!
And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man, by whom we may enquire of the LORD: but I hate him; for he never prophesied good unto me, but always evil: the same is Micaiah the son of Imla. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.
8 Se konsa Akab rele yonn nan nèg konfyans li yo, li di l': -Prese al chache Miche, pitit gason Jimla a, pou mwen.
And the king of Israel called for one of his officers, and said, Fetch quickly Micaiah the son of Imla.
9 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 Jehoshaphat king of Judah sat either of them on his throne, clothed in their robes, and they sat in a void place at the entering in of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets prophesied before them.
10 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 Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah had made him horns of iron, and said, Thus says the LORD, With these you shall push Syria until they be consumed.
11 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 so, saying, Go up to Ramothgilead, and prosper: for the LORD shall deliver it into the hand of the king.
12 Mesaje ki te pati al rele Miche a di Miche konsa: -Tout lòt pwofèt yo te pale an favè wa a. Ranje kò ou pou ou pale tankou yo tout. Pale an favè wa a.
And the messenger that went to call Micaiah spoke to him, saying, Behold, the words of the prophets declare good to the king with one assent; let your word therefore, I pray you, be like one of their's, and speak you good.
13 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 Micaiah said, As the LORD lives, even what my God says, that will I speak.
14 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 se pou n' 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 when he was come to the king, the king said unto him, Micaiah, shall we go to Ramothgilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And he said, Go all of you up, and prosper, and they shall be delivered into your hand.
15 Men, Akab di li: -Konbe fwa pou m' di ou lè w'ap pale avè m' nan non Seyè a, se pou ou di m' laverite?
And the king said to him, How many times shall I adjure you that you say nothing but the truth to me in the name of the LORD?
16 Lè sa a, Miche reponn li: -Mwen te wè tout sòlda pèp Izrayèl yo gaye toupatou sou mòn yo, tankou yon bann mouton san gadò. Seyè a te di: Moun sa yo san chèf. Kite yo tounen lakay yo ak kè poze.
Then he said, I did see all Israel scattered upon the mountains, as sheep that have no shepherd: and the LORD said, These have no master; let them return therefore every man to his house in peace.
17 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 Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell you that he would not prophesy good unto me, but evil?
18 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.
Again he said, Therefore hear the word of the LORD; I saw the LORD sitting upon his throne, and all the host of heaven standing on his right hand and on his left.
19 Seyè a t'ap mande ki moun ki vle al pran tèt Akab pou li 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 shall entice Ahab king of Israel, that he may go up and fall at Ramothgilead? And one spoke saying after this manner, and another saying after that manner.
20 Se lè sa a, yon lespri vanse devan Seyè a, li di: Mwen pral pran tet li.
Then there came out a spirit, and stood before the LORD, and said, I will entice him. And the LORD said unto him, Wherewith?
21 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 he said, I will go out, and be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And the Lord said, You shall entice him, and you shall also prevail: go out, and do even so.
22 Koulye a, ou konnen Seyè a te mete yon lespri mantò sou pwofèt ou yo pou yo ba ou manti, paske li pran desizyon pou l' fini avè ou.
Now therefore, behold, the LORD has put a lying spirit in the mouth of these your prophets, and the LORD has spoken evil against you.
23 Lè sa a, Sedesyas, pitit gason 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?
Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah came near, and stroke Micaiah upon the cheek, and said, Which way went the Spirit of the LORD from me to speak unto you?
24 Miche reponn li: -W'a konn sa lè w'a kouri pase sot nan yon chanm antre nan yon lòt pou al kache jouk nan fon.
And Micaiah said, Behold, you shall see on that day when you shall go into an inner chamber to hide yourself.
25 Se konsa wa Akab pase yon lòd, li di: -Arete Miche. Mennen l' bay Amon, gouvènè lavil la, ak Joas, pitit wa a.
Then the king of Israel said, Take all of you Micaiah, and carry him back to Amon the governor of the city, and to Joash the king's son;
26 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 ak malè.
And say, Thus says the king, Put this fellow in the prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and with water of affliction, until I return in peace.
27 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 Micaiah said, If you certainly return in peace, then has not the LORD spoken by me. And he said, Hearken, all you people.
28 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 and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah went up to Ramothgilead.
29 Akab di Jozafa konsa: -Mwen pral mete yon lòt rad sou mwen anvan m al goumen an, pou moun pa rekonèt mwen. Ou men, 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, li al goumen.
And the king of Israel said unto Jehoshaphat, I will disguise myself, and I will go to the battle; but put you on your robes. So the king of Israel disguised himself; and they went to the battle.
30 Men, wa peyi Siri a te bay trannde chèf ki t'ap kòmande cha lagè yo lòd pou yo pa atake pesonn pase wa peyi Izrayèl la.
Now the king of Syria had commanded the captains of the chariots that were with him, saying, Fight all of you not with small or great, save only with the king of Israel.
31 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 yo atake l'. Men, Jozafa rele anmwe. Bondye sèl mèt la vin pote l' sekou, li fè yo vire kite l'.
And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, It is the king of Israel. Therefore they compassed about him to fight: but Jehoshaphat cried out, and the LORD helped him; and God moved them to depart from him.
32 Lè mesye yo wè se pa li menm ki te wa peyi Izrayèl la, yo rete sou sa yo te vle fè a.
For it came to pass, that, when the captains of the chariots perceived that it was not the king of Israel, they turned back again from pursuing him.
33 Lè sa a, yon sòlda peyi Siri 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 a certain man drew a bow at random, and stroke the king of Israel between the joints of the harness: therefore he said to his chariot man, Turn your hand, that you may carry me out of the host; for I am wounded.
34 Jou sa a, batay la te makònen anpil. Wa Akab menm te rete kanpe sou cha li a, l'ap gade moun peyi Siri yo jouk aswè. Lè solèy kouche li mouri.
And the battle increased that day: nevertheless the king of Israel stayed himself up in his chariot against the Syrians until the even: and about the time of the sun going down he died.
