2 Wa 3
1 Lè sa a, wa Jozafa t'ap mache sou dizwitan depi li t'ap gouvènen nan peyi Jida lè Joram, pitit Akab la, moute sou fotèy wa peyi Izrayèl la. Li pase douzan ap gouvènen nan lavil Samari.
Now Jehoram the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and reigned twelve years.
2 Li fè sa ki mal nan je Seyè a, men pa tankou papa l' ak manman l' Jezabèl. Li wete gwo wòch papa l' te mete kanpe pou sèvis Baal la.
And he worked evil in the sight of the LORD; but not like his father, and like his mother: for he put away the image of Baal that his father had made.
3 Men, li fè menm peche ak Jewoboram, pitit gason Nebat la, li lakòz pèp Izrayèl la fè peche. Li pa t' soti pou l' te kite vye chemen sa a.
Nevertheless he joined to the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, which made Israel to sin; he departed not therefrom.
4 Mesa, wa peyi Moab la, te fè gadinaj mouton. Se konsa li te pran angajman pou li te bay wa peyi Izrayèl la sanmil (100.000) ti mouton ak sanmil (100.000) belye ak tout lenn yo sou yo.
And Mesha king of Moab was a sheep master, and rendered to the king of Israel an hundred thousand lambs, and an hundred thousand rams, with the wool.
5 Men, lè Akab, wa peyi Izrayèl la, mouri, wa peyi Moab la revòlte kont otorite wa peyi Izrayèl la.
But it came to pass, when Ahab was dead, that the king of Moab rebelled against the king of Israel.
6 Lamenm, wa Joram kite lavil Samari, li sanble tout lame pèp Izrayèl la.
And king Jehoram went out of Samaria the same time, and numbered all Israel.
7 Epi li pati, li voye di Jozafa, wa peyi Jida a: —Wa peyi Moab la revòlte kont otorite mwen. Ou pa ta vle vin avè m' pou nou atake moun Moab yo? Jozafa reponn: —Men wi! Mwen menm ak tout sòlda mwen yo ak kavalye mwen yo, nou avè ou ansanm ak pèp ou a. Se yonn nou ye!
And he went and sent to Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, saying, The king of Moab has rebelled against me: will you go with me against Moab to battle? And he said, I will go up: I am as you are, my people as your people, and my horses as your horses.
8 Ki wout n'ap pran pou n' al atake? Joram reponn li: —N'ap pran chemen ki pase nan dezè Edon an.
And he said, Which way shall we go up? And he answered, The way through the wilderness of Edom.
9 Se konsa Joram, wa peyi Izrayèl la, ansanm ak wa peyi Jida a ak wa peyi Edon an pati. Yo pase sèt jou ap mache. Lè sa a dlo yo fini, pa t' gen yon ti gout dlo ni pou sòlda yo ni pou bèt chay ki te avè yo.
So the king of Israel went, and the king of Judah, and the king of Edom: and they fetched a compass of seven days’ journey: and there was no water for the host, and for the cattle that followed them.
10 Joram, wa peyi Izrayèl la, di: —Woy! Nou fini! Seyè a fè nou tou twa vin isit la ansanm pou l' lage nou nan men wa Moab la.
And the king of Israel said, Alas! that the LORD has called these three kings together, to deliver them into the hand of Moab!
11 Jozafa mande: —Pa gen yon pwofèt bò isit la ki ta ka pale ak Seyè a pou nou? Yonn nan chèf wa peyi Izrayèl yo di: —Bò isit la gen Elize, pitit gason Chafa a. Se li ki t'ap sèvi ak Eli.
But Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the LORD, that we may inquire of the LORD by him? And one of the king of Israel’s servants answered and said, Here is Elisha the son of Shaphat, which poured water on the hands of Elijah.
12 Jozafa di: —Sèten l'ap gen kichòy pou l' di nou nan non Seyè a! Se konsa wa peyi Izrayèl la ansanm ak Jozafa ak wa peyi Edon an pati, y' al wè Elize.
And Jehoshaphat said, The word of the LORD is with him. So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat and the king of Edom went down to him.
13 Elize di wa Izrayèl la konsa: —Ki rapò m' gen avè ou! Al wè pwofèt papa ou ak manman ou te konn al wè yo! Joram reponn: —Non! Se Seyè a ki voye chache nou pou l' lage nou twa wa sa yo nan men wa peyi Moab la.
And Elisha said to the king of Israel, What have I to do with you? get you to the prophets of your father, and to the prophets of your mother. And the king of Israel said to him, No: for the LORD has called these three kings together, to deliver them into the hand of Moab.
14 Elize reponn: —Mwen pran Seyè vivan m'ap sèvi a pou temwen! Si mwen pa t' gen respè pou Jozafa, wa peyi Jida a, m' pa ta menm gade ou, m' pa ta okipe ou.
And Elisha said, As the LORD of hosts lives, before whom I stand, surely, were it not that I regard the presence of Jehoshaphat the king of Judah, I would not look toward you, nor see you.
15 Koulye a, al chache yon mizisyen pou mwen. Pandan mizisyen an t'ap jwe mizik, pouvwa Seyè a desann sou Elize.
But now bring me a minstrel. And it came to pass, when the minstrel played, that the hand of the LORD came on him.
16 Elize di: —Men sa Seyè a di: Fouye anpil gwo twou nan fon ravin sa a.
And he said, Thus says the LORD, Make this valley full of ditches.
17 Paske, men sa li di ankò: Nou p'ap wè van, nou p'ap wè lapli, men ravin sa a pral plen dlo. Konsa n'a jwenn kont dlo pou nou bwè ansanm ak bèf, kabrit nou yo ak bèt chay nou yo.
For thus says the LORD, You shall not see wind, neither shall you see rain; yet that valley shall be filled with water, that you may drink, both you, and your cattle, and your beasts.
18 Men tou sa pa anyen bò kote sa Seyè a ka fè. Li pral lage moun peyi Moab yo nan men nou.
And this is but a light thing in the sight of the LORD: he will deliver the Moabites also into your hand.
19 Nou pral pran tout bèl lavil ak ranpa yo, nou pral koupe tout bèl pyebwa yo, nou pral bouche tout sous dlo yo. Nou pral gate tout pi bèl jaden yo, nou pral kouvri yo ak wòch.
And you shall smite every fenced city, and every choice city, and shall fell every good tree, and stop all wells of water, and mar every good piece of land with stones.
20 Nan denmen maten, lè lè pou yo fè ofrann lan rive, yon dlo soti nan direksyon Edon, li kouvri tout tè a.
And it came to pass in the morning, when the meat offering was offered, that, behold, there came water by the way of Edom, and the country was filled with water.
21 Lè moun Moab yo pran nouvèl twa wa yo te moute vin atake yo, tout gason ki te gen laj pou pote zam, gran kou piti, yo sanble, y' al mase kò yo sou fwontyè a.
And when all the Moabites heard that the kings were come up to fight against them, they gathered all that were able to put on armor, and upward, and stood in the border.
22 Nan denmen maten, lè yo leve, limyè solèy la t'ap bat sou dlo a. Li bay dlo a yon koulè wouj, moun Moab yo te kwè se san.
And they rose up early in the morning, and the sun shone on the water, and the Moabites saw the water on the other side as red as blood:
23 Yo di: —Gade san! Lame wa yo gen lè goumen yonn ak lòt, yonn touye lòt. Ann al piye kan yo!
And they said, This is blood: the kings are surely slain, and they have smitten one another: now therefore, Moab, to the spoil.
24 Men lè moun Moab yo rive nan kan moun Izrayèl yo, moun Izrayèl yo tonbe sou yo, yo kòmanse bat yo. Moun Moab yo pran kouri. Moun Izrayèl yo antre dèyè yo nan peyi Moab, yo touye tout moun Moab ki tonbe anba men yo.
And when they came to the camp of Israel, the Israelites rose up and smote the Moabites, so that they fled before them: but they went forward smiting the Moabites, even in their country.
25 Yo detwi lavil yo. Chak fwa yo rive bò yon bèl jaden, chak moun pran wòch, yo voye ladan l' jouk jaden an kouvri nèt ak wòch. Yo bouche tout sous dlo yo, yo koupe tout bèl pyebwa yo. Sèl kote ki te rete kanpe se te lavil Kiraresèt, kapital la. Sòlda yo sènen l', yo atake l' ak kout wòch.
And they beat down the cities, and on every good piece of land cast every man his stone, and filled it; and they stopped all the wells of water, and felled all the good trees: only in Kirharaseth left they the stones thereof; however, the slingers went about it, and smote it.
26 Lè wa peyi Moab la wè li t'ap pèdi batay la, li pran sètsan (700) sòlda avè l'. Avèk nepe yo, yo chache mwayen pou yo pase nan mitan sòlda Izrayèl yo al fè wout yo nan direksyon peyi Edon, men yo pa t' kapab.
And when the king of Moab saw that the battle was too sore for him, he took with him seven hundred men that drew swords, to break through even to the king of Edom: but they could not.
27 Lè sa a, wa peyi Moab la pran premye pitit gason l' lan, sa ki te pou pran plas li sou fotèy la, li ofri l' bay bondye peyi Moab la, li touye l' sou tèt miray lavil la. Lè moun Izrayèl yo wè sa, yo pè pou malè pa rive yo. Yo rale kò yo dèyè, yo tounen nan peyi yo.
Then he took his oldest son that should have reigned in his stead, and offered him for a burnt offering on the wall. And there was great indignation against Israel: and they departed from him, and returned to their own land.
