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.
Elisha the prophet called one of the sons of the prophets, and said to him, “Put your belt on your waist, take this vial of oil in your hand, and go to Ramoth Gilead.
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.
When you come there, find Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi, and go in and make him rise up from among his brothers, and take him to an inner room.
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.
Then take the vial of oil, and pour it on his head, and say, ‘Yahweh says, “I have anointed you king over Israel.”’ Then open the door, flee, and don’t wait.”
4 Se konsa jenn pwofèt la ale lavil Ramòt nan peyi Galarad.
So the young man, the young prophet, went to Ramoth Gilead.
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.
When he came, behold, the captains of the army were sitting. Then he said, “I have a message for you, captain.” Jehu said, “To which one of us?” He said, “To you, 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.
He arose, and went into the house. Then he poured the oil on his head, and said to him, “Yahweh, the God of Israel, says, ‘I have anointed you king over the people of Yahweh, even 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.
You must strike your master Ahab’s house, that I may avenge the blood of my servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of Yahweh, at the hand of Jezebel.
8 Tout rès fanmi Akab la fèt pou disparèt. M'ap touye dènye gason ki gen nan fanmi an, jenn moun kou granmoun.
For the whole house of Ahab will perish. I will cut off from Ahab everyone who urinates against a wall, both him who is shut up and him who is left at large 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.
I will make Ahab’s house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah.
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.
The dogs will eat Jezebel on the plot of ground of Jezreel, and there shall be no one to bury her.’” Then he 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!
When Jehu came out to the servants of his lord and one said to him, “Is all well? Why did this madman come to you?” He said to them, “You know the man and how he talks.”
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.
They said, “That is a lie. Tell us now.” He said, “He said to me, ‘Yahweh says, I have anointed you 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 hurried, and each man took his cloak, and put it under him on the top of the stairs, and blew the trumpet, 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 was defending Ramoth Gilead, he and all Israel, because of Hazael 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 Joram had returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which the Syrians had given him when he fought with Hazael king of Syria.) Jehu said, “If this is your thinking, then let no one escape and go out of the city to go to tell it in Jezreel.”
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 Jezreel, for Joram lay there. Ahaziah king of Judah had 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!
Now the watchman was standing on the tower in Jezreel, and he spied the company of Jehu as he came, and said, “I see a company.” Joram said, “Take a horseman, and send 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 one went on horseback to meet him, and said, “the king says, ‘Is it peace?’” Jehu said, “What do you have to do with peace? Fall in behind me!” The watchman said, “The messenger came to them, but he isn’t coming back.”
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 he sent out a second on horseback, who came to them and said, “The king says, ‘Is it peace?’” Jehu answered, “What do you have to do with peace? Fall in 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.
The watchman said, “He came to them, and isn’t coming back. The driving is like the driving of Jehu the son of Nimshi, for he drives furiously.”
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.
Joram said, “Get ready!” They got his chariot ready. Then Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah went out, each in his chariot; and they went out to meet Jehu, and found him on Naboth the Jezreelite’s land.
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?
When Joram saw Jehu, he said, “Is it peace, Jehu?” He answered, “What peace, so long as the prostitution of your mother Jezebel and her witchcraft abound?”
23 Joram kase tèt tounen, li kouri met deyò, li di Okozyas konsa: —Yo trayi nou, Okozyas!
Joram turned his hands and fled, and said to Ahaziah, “This is treason, Ahaziah!”
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.
Jehu drew his bow with his full strength, and struck Joram 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 Jehu said to Bidkar his captain, “Pick him up, and throw him in the plot of the field of Naboth the Jezreelite; for remember how, when you and I rode together after Ahab his father, Yahweh laid this burden on him:
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,’ says Yahweh; ‘and I will repay you in this plot of ground,’ says Yahweh. Now therefore take and cast him onto the plot of ground, according to Yahweh’s word.”
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.
But when Ahaziah the king of Judah saw this, he fled by the way of the garden house. Jehu followed after him, and said, “Strike him also in the chariot!” They struck him at the ascent of Gur, which is by Ibleam. 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.
His servants carried him in a chariot to Jerusalem, and buried him in his tomb with his fathers in David’s city.
29 Joram, pitit Akab la, t'ap mache sou onzan depi li te wa peyi Izrayèl lè Okozyas te moute wa nan peyi Jida.
In the eleventh year of Joram the son of Ahab, Ahaziah began to reign 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.
When Jehu had come to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it; and she painted her eyes, and adorned 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!
As Jehu entered in at the gate, she said, “Do you come in peace, Zimri, you murderer of your 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.
He lifted up his face to the window, and said, “Who is on my side? Who?” Two or three eunuchs looked out at him.
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.
He said, “Throw her down!” So they threw her down; and some of her blood was sprinkled on the wall, and on the horses. Then he trampled 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.
When he had come in, he ate and drank. Then he said, “See now to this cursed woman, 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.
They went to bury her, but they found no more of her than the skull, the feet, and the palms of her 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.
Therefore they came back, and told him. He said, “This is Yahweh’s word, which he spoke by his servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, ‘The dogs will eat the flesh of Jezebel on the plot of Jezreel,
37 Kadav li pral tounen fimye gaye nan tout jaden zòn Jizreyèl la. Konsa pesonn p'ap ka rekonèt li.
and the body of Jezebel will be as dung on the surface of the field on Jezreel’s land, so that they won’t say, “This is Jezebel.”’”
