2 Wa 9
1 Pwofèt Elize rele yonn nan jenn pwofèt yo, li di l' konsa: —Pare pou ale lavil Ramòt nan peyi Galarad. Pran ti poban lwil oliv sa a avè ou.
And Elisha' the prophet called one of the children of the prophets, and said unto him, Gird up thy loins, and take this flask of oil in thy hand, and go to Ramoth-gil'ad:
2 Lè w'a rive, w'a chache kote Jeou, pitit gason Jozafa a, pitit pitit Nimchi a, ye. W'a antre kote l' ye a, w'a fè l' leve kite kanmarad li yo, w'a mennen l' nan yon pyès apa.
And when thou art come thither, look out there for Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi, and go in, and cause him to stand up from the midst of his brethren, and bring him in to the innermost chamber;
3 W'a pran ti poban lwil la, w'a vide l' sou tèt li. W'a di l': Men sa Seyè a di: Mwen chwazi ou pou ou wa nan peyi Izrayèl. Lèfini, pa rete. Louvri pòt la, prese al fè wout ou.
And thou shalt then take the flask of oil, and pour it on his head, and say, Thus hath said the Lord, I have anointed thee as king over Israel. Then must thou open the door, and flee, and not wait for any thing.
4 Se konsa jenn pwofèt la ale lavil Ramòt nan peyi Galarad.
So the young man, the disciple of the prophet, went to Ramoth-gil'ad.
5 Li jwenn tout chèf lame yo te reyini ap pale ansanm. Li di konsa: —Chèf, mwen gen yon mesaj pou ou. Jeou mande l': —Pou kilès nan nou? Pwofèt la reponn: —Pou ou wi, chèf.
And when he came, behold, the captains of the army were sitting; and he said, I have a word for thee, O captain. And Jehu said, For whom of all of us? And he said, For thee, O captain.
6 Jeou leve, li antre nan kay la. Lamenm jenn pwofèt la vide lwil oliv la sou tèt Jeou, li di l' konsa: —Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, di: Mwen chwazi ou pou ou wa sou pèp Izrayèl, pèp mwen an.
And he arose, and went into the house: and he poured the oil on his head, and said unto him, Thus hath said the Lord the God of Israel, I anoint thee as king over the people of the Lord, over Israel.
7 Ou pral touye tout fanmi Akab, mèt ou a. Se konsa mwen pral peni Jezabèl pou touye li te touye pwofèt mwen yo ak tout lòt sèvitè m' yo.
And thou shalt smite the house of Achab thy master, that I may avenge the blood of my servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of the Lord, at the hand of Izebel.
8 Tout rès fanmi Akab la fèt pou disparèt. M'ap touye dènye gason ki gen nan fanmi an, jenn moun kou granmoun.
And the whole house of Achab shall perish: and I will cut off from Achab every male, and the guarded and fortified in Israel;
9 Menm sa m' te fè fanmi Jewoboram, pitit Nebat, wa peyi Izrayèl la, menm sa m' te fè fanmi Bacha, pitit Akija, wa peyi Izrayèl la tou, se sa m'ap fè fanmi pa l' la tou.
And I will make the house of Achab like the house of Jerobo'am the son of Nebat, and like the house of Ba'sha the son of Achiyah;
10 Pou Jezabèl menm, se chen ki pral manje kadav li nan jaden Jizreyèl la. P'ap gen pesonn pou antere l'. Lè li fin di sa, li louvri pòt la, li kouri ale.
And Izebel shall the dogs eat in the field of Yizre'el, with none to bury her. And he [then] opened the door, and fled.
11 Jeou tounen al jwenn lòt chèf parèy li yo. Yo mande l': —Sa ki genyen? Sa nèg fou sa a te bezwen ou fè? Jeou reponn yo: —Anyen. Nou konnen ki moun pwofèt sa yo ye. Nou konnen sa y'ap mache di!
But Jehu came forth to the servants of his Lord: and one said unto him, Is all well? wherefore came this madman to thee? And he said unto them, Ye yourselves know the man, and his talk.
12 Mesye yo reponn: —Manti w'ap ban nou la a! Annou wè non, monchè. Rakonte nou sa l' di ou. Lè sa a, Jeou di yo: —Li di m' Seyè a voye di m' li chwazi m' pou wa peyi Izrayèl la.
And they said, It is false: only tell us, we pray thee. And he said, So and so did he speak to me, saying, Thus hath said the Lord, I anoint thee as king over Israel.
13 Lamenm chèf lame yo wete manto yo, yo louvri yo sou tèt macheskalye a, yo fè Jeou moute chita. Yo kònen klewon, yo di: —Viv Jeou, wa peyi Izrayèl!
Then they hastened, and they took every man his garment, and put it under him on the top of the stairs; and they blew the cornet, saying, Jehu is king.
14 Jeou, pitit Jozafa, pitit pitit Nimchi, moute yon konplo kont Joram. Joram te moute lavil Ramòt nan peyi Galarad ak tout moun peyi Izrayèl yo al goumen ak Azayèl, wa peyi Siri.
So Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi conspired against Joram. (Now Joram had kept guard at Ramoth-gil'ad, he and all Israel, because of Chazael the king of Syria.
15 Men, li te tounen lavil Jizreyèl fè mete renmèd sou kote sòlda peyi Siri yo te blese l' lè li t'ap goumen ak Azayèl, wa peyi Siri a. Lè sa a Jeou di moun ki te avè l' yo: —Si nou avè m' vre, pa kite pesonn soti lavil Ramòt al bay nouvèl la lavil Jizreyèl.
But king Jehoram was returned to be healed in Yizre'el of the wounds which the Syrians had inflicted on him, when he was fighting with Chazael the king of Syria.) And Jehu said, If this be your mind, then let none that escapeth go forth out of the city to go to tell it in Yizre'el.
16 Apre sa, li moute sou cha lagè li, li pati pou lavil Jizreyèl. Joram te kouche malad toujou. Akazya, wa peyi Jida a, te desann vin wè l'.
So Jehu rode in a chariot, and went to Yizre'el; for Joram was lying there. And Achazyah the king of Judah was come down to see Joram.
17 Yon faksyonnè ki te nan fò won Jizreyèl la wè Jeou ansanm ak yon bann moun ki t'ap pwoche. Li rele: —Mwen wè yon bann moun k'ap vini wi! Joram bay lòd sa a: —Voye yon kavalye al kontre yo pou l' mande yo si y'ap vin an zanmi!
And the watchman stood on the tower in Yizre'el, and he saw the company of Jehu as he came; and he said, A company do I see, And Jehoram said, Take a horseman, and send out to meet them, and let him say, Is it peace?
18 Kavalye a pati al kontre Jeou, li di l': —Wa a bezwen konnen si se an zanmi w'ap vini! Jeou reponn li: —Sa pa gade ou! Pase dèyè do m'. Faksyonnè a bay nouvèl la konsa: —Mesaje a rive bò kote yo, men li pa tounen.
So there went one riding on horseback to meet him, and said, Thus hath said the king, Is it peace? And Jehu said, What hast thou to do with peace? turn thee about behind me. And the watchman told, saying, The messenger came up to them, but he hath not returned.
19 Yo voye yon dezyèm kavalye. Lè li rive bò kote yo, li di: —Wa a mande ou si se an zanmi w'ap vini. Jeou reponn li: —Sa pa gade ou! Pase dèyè do m'.
Then sent he out a second rider on horseback, who came to them, and said, Thus hath said the king, Is it peace? And Jehu answered, What hast thou to do with peace? turn thee about behind me.
20 Faksyonnè a bay nouvèl la ankò: —Mesaje a rive bò kote yo, men li pa tounen. Lèfini, moun ki sou premye cha a gen lè se Jeou, pitit pitit Nimchi a. L'ap kouri cha lagè a tankou moun fou.
And the watchman told, saying, He came up to them, but he hath not returned: and the driving is like the driving of Jehu the son of Nimshi; for he driveth as though he were mad.
21 Lè sa a Joram di: —Pare cha lagè a pou mwen! Yo mennen chwal yo, yo pare cha lagè wa a. Joram, wa peyi Izrayèl la, ak Okozyas, wa peyi Jida a, pati, chak moun sou cha yo. y' al kontre Jeou. Yo kontre avè l' nan jaden ki te pou Nabòt, moun lavil Jizreyèl la.
And Jehoram said, Harness up. And his chariot was harnessed up. And Jehoram the king of Israel and Achazyahu the king of Judah went out, each in his chariot, and they went out to meet Jehu, and found him in the portion of land of Naboth the Yizre'elite.
22 Joram mande l': —Eske ou vin an zanmi? Jeou reponn: —Ki zanmi w'ap pale la a lè manman ou, Jezabèl, ap donnen pi rèd nan fè maji ak nan sèvi zidòl?
And it came to pass, when Jehoram saw Jehu, that he said, Is it peace, Jehu? And he said, What peace can there be with the acts of incest of thy mother Izebel and her many witchcrafts?
23 Joram kase tèt tounen, li kouri met deyò, li di Okozyas konsa: —Yo trayi nou, Okozyas!
And Jehoram turned about, and fled, and said to Achazyahu, Treachery, Achazyahu.
24 Jeou pran banza li, li voye yon flèch ak tout fòs li. Flèch la pran Joram nan mitan de zepòl li yo, li pèse kè l'. Joram tonbe nan cha lagè li a.
And Jehu grasped the bow with his full strength, and struck Jehoram between his arms, and the arrow went out at his heart, and he sunk down in his chariot.
25 Jeou rele Bidka, òdonans li an, li ba li lòd sa a: —Pran kadav la, jete l' nan jaden Nabòt, moun Jizreyèl la. Ou chonje lè ou menm avè m' nou te sou chwal nou dèyè Akab, papa l'? Seyè a te pale kont Joram, li te di:
Then said he to Bidkar his officer, Lift up, [and] cast him down in the part of the field that was Naboth's the Yizre'elite; for remember how that I and thou rode alongside each other after Achab his father, when the Lord pronounced over him this fatal decree:
26 Menm jan ayè, mwen te wè jan nou te touye Nabòt ak pitit gason l' yo, se konsa m'a ba ou sa ou merite a nan menm jaden an. Se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki di sa. Koulye a, pran kadav li, jete l' nan jaden Nabòt la, jan Seyè a te di l' la.
Surely I have seen yesterday the blood of Naboth, and the blood of his sons, saith the Lord; and I will repay thee in this part of the field, saith the Lord. And now lift up, [and] cast him down into the field, according to the word of the Lord.
27 Lè Okozyas, wa peyi Jida a, wè sa ki te rive, li kouri nan cha lagè li a nan direksyon lavil Betagan. Men, Jeou pati dèyè l'. Li di: —Touye l' tou. Yo blese l' sou cha a nan ti moute ki mennen lavil Gour, toupre lavil Jibleyam. Men, Okozyas kenbe jouk li rive lavil Megido. Se la li mouri.
And when Achazyahu the king of Judah saw this, he fled by the way of the garden-house; but Jehu pursued after him, and said, Also him smite in the chariot. [And they did so] on the ascent to Gur, which is by Yible'am. And he fled to Megiddo, and died there.
28 Apre sa, chèf li yo mete kadav la sou cha a, yo mennen l' lavil Jerizalèm. Yo antere l' nan kavo fanmi li nan lavil David la.
And his servants carried him in a chariot to Jerusalem, and buried him in his sepulchre with his fathers in the city of David.
29 Joram, pitit Akab la, t'ap mache sou onzan depi li te wa peyi Izrayèl lè Okozyas te moute wa nan peyi Jida.
And in the eleventh year of Joram the son of Achab became Achazyah king over Judah.
30 Jeou rive lavil Jizreyèl. Lè Jezabèl vin konn sa, li pase fa bò je li, li ranje tèt li, l' al kanpe bò yon fennèt ap gade.
And Jehu came to Yizre'el; and when Izebel heard of it, she painted her eyes, and ornamented her head, and looked out at the window.
31 Lè Jeou antre nan pòtay lavil la, Jezabèl di l' konsa: —Ban m' nouvèl ou non, Zimri, ansasen mèt ou!
And as Jehu entered in at the gate, she said, Is it peace, O Zimri, who hath slain his master?
32 Jeou leve je l' gade bò fennèt la, li di: —Ki moun ki avè m'? De twa gad palè a parèt tèt yo nan yon fennèt.
And he lifted up his face to the window, and said, Who is on my side? who? And there looked out to him two or three chamberlains.
33 Jeou di yo: —Voye Jezabèl jete anba! Yo voye Jezabèl jete anba. San li gaye sou tout miray la ak sou chwal yo. Jeou fè chwal li yo ak cha lagè li a pase sou kadav la.
And he said, Pitch her down. So they pitched her down: and some of her blood was sprinkled on the wall, and on the horses; and he trod her under foot.
34 Li antre nan palè a, li manje, li bwè. Apre sa li di: —Al okipe fanm madichon an! Antere l'. Tout jan, se pitit fi yon wa li ye.
And he came in, and ate and drank; and then said he, Look, I pray you, after this accursed one, and bury her; for she is a king's daughter.
35 Men, lè mesye yo ale pou antere l' yo pa jwenn anyen pase zo bwa tèt li, de pye l' ak de pla men l' yo.
And they went to bury her: but they found nothing of her but the skull, and the feet, and the palms of the hands.
36 Yo tounen al fè rapò yo bay Jeou. Jeou di konsa: —Se sa menm Seyè a te di ki pou te rive l' lè li te bay Eli, moun Tichbe a mesaj sa a pou li: Chen va manje Jezabèl nan peyi Jizreyèl.
And they returned, and told him; and he said, It is the word of the Lord, which he spoke by means of his servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, In the field of Yizre'el shall the dogs eat the flesh of Izebel:
37 Kadav li pral tounen fimye gaye nan tout jaden zòn Jizreyèl la. Konsa pesonn p'ap ka rekonèt li.
And the carcass of Izebel shall be as dung upon the face of the field in the portion of Yizre'el; so that they shall not say, This is Izebel.
