2 Wa 1
1 Apre lanmò Akab, wa peyi Izrayèl la, peyi Moab pran lèzam kont moun Izrayèl yo.
After the death of Ahab, Moab rebelled against Israel.
2 Okozyas, wa peyi Izrayèl la, pran yon so, li soti nan balkon lakay li, li tonbe sou twati palè li lavil Samari. Li fraktire nan tout kò l'. Li voye moun al pale ak Baalzeboub, bondye moun Filisti yo ki te gen tanp li lavil Ekwon, pou konnen si l'ap refè.
Now Ahaziah had fallen through the lattice of his upper room in Samaria and injured himself. So he sent messengers and instructed them: “Go inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron, whether I will recover from this injury.”
3 Men, zanj Seyè a pale ak pwofèt Eli, moun lavil Tichbe a, li di l' konsa: —Leve al kontre mesaje Okozyas, wa peyi Samari a. W'a mande yo si pa gen Bondye nan peyi Izrayèl la kifè yo pral pale ak Baalzeboub, bondye lavil Ekwon an.
But the angel of the LORD said to Elijah the Tishbite, “Go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria and ask them, ‘Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are on your way to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron?’
4 W'a di yo tou men mesaj Seyè a voye bay wa a: Li p'ap leve sou kabann kote li kouche a paske li pral mouri. Eli leve, li fè sa Seyè a te mande l' fè a.
Therefore this is what the LORD says: ‘You will not get up from the bed on which you are lying. You will surely die.’” So Elijah departed.
5 Lè mesaje yo tounen al jwenn wa a, wa a mande yo: —Poukisa nou tounen?
When the messengers returned to the king, he asked them, “Why have you returned?”
6 Yo reponn li: —Paske nou kontre ak yon nonm sou wout nou ki di nou: Tounen al jwenn wa ki te voye nou an. N'a di li: Men mesaj Seyè a voye ba li: Kouman? Pa gen Bondye nan peyi Izrayèl la kifè ou voye moun al pale ak Baalzeboub, bondye lavil Ekwon an? Poutèt sa ou fè a, ou p'ap leve sou kabann kote ou kouche a, ou pral mouri.
They replied, “A man came up to meet us and said, ‘Go back to the king who sent you and tell him that this is what the LORD says: Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are sending these men to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron? Therefore you will not get up from the bed on which you are lying. You will surely die.’”
7 Wa a mande yo: —Moun ki te vin kontre nou an epi ki di nou tout pawòl sa yo, ki jan li te ye?
The king asked them, “What sort of man came up to meet you and spoke these words to you?”
8 Msye yo reponn li: —Li te gen yon gwo rad fèt ak po bèt sou li ak yon sentiwon po bèt mare nan ren l'. Wa a di: —Se Eli, moun lavil Tichbe a.
“He was a hairy man,” they answered, “with a leather belt around his waist.” “It was Elijah the Tishbite,” said the king.
9 Li voye yon kaptenn ak senkant sòlda al chache Eli. Lè yo rive, yo jwenn Eli chita sou tèt yon ti mòn. Yo di li konsa: —Sèvitè Bondye, wa a pase ou lòd pou ou desann.
Then King Ahaziah sent to Elijah a captain with his company of fifty men. So the captain went up to Elijah, who was sitting on top of a hill, and said to him, “Man of God, the king declares, ‘Come down!’”
10 Eli reponn: —Si m' se yon sèvitè Bondye vre, se pou dife soti nan syèl la tonbe ni sou ou ni sou sòlda ou yo pou l' kankannen nou! Lamenm, yon dife soti nan syèl la, li kankannen ni kaptenn lan ni senkant sòlda li yo.
Elijah answered the captain, “If I am a man of God, may fire come down from heaven and consume you and your fifty men.” And fire came down from heaven and consumed the captain and his fifty men.
11 Wa voye yon lòt kaptenn ak senkant lòt sòlda. Lè yo rive, yo di Eli: —Sèvitè Bondye, wa a voye di ou desann koulye a san pèdi tan.
So the king sent to Elijah another captain with his fifty men. And the captain said to Elijah, “Man of God, the king declares, ‘Come down at once!’”
12 Eli reponn: —Si m' se yon sèvitè Bondye vre, se pou dife soti nan syèl la tonbe ni sou ou ni sou senkant sòlda ou yo pou l' kankannen nou. Lamenm, yon dife soti nan syèl la, li kankannen ni kaptenn lan ni senkant sòlda li yo.
Again Elijah replied, “If I am a man of God, may fire come down from heaven and consume you and your fifty men.” And the fire of God came down from heaven and consumed the captain and his fifty men.
13 Fwa sa a ankò, wa a voye yon lòt kaptenn avèk senkant lòt sòlda. Lè kaptenn lan rive, li moute jouk kote Eli te ye a, li mete ajenou devan Eli, li di l' konsa: —Tanpri, sèvitè Bondye! Pitye pou mwen ak senkant sòlda mwen yo. Nou la pou rann ou nenpòt sèvis. Sove lavi nou!
So the king sent a third captain with his fifty men. And the third captain went up, fell on his knees before Elijah, and begged him, “Man of God, may my life and the lives of these fifty servants please be precious in your sight.
14 Dife soti nan syèl la, li tonbe sou de lòt kaptenn yo ak tout sòlda ki te avèk yo! Tanpri, pitye pou mwen.
Behold, fire has come down from heaven and consumed the first two captains of fifty, with all their men. But now may my life be precious in your sight.”
15 Lè sa a, zanj Seyè a di Eli konsa: —Ou mèt ale ak msye. Ou pa bezwen pè l'. Eli leve, li desann ak kaptenn lan, l' al jwenn wa a.
Then the angel of the LORD said to Elijah, “Go down with him. Do not be afraid of him.” So Elijah got up and went down with him to the king.
16 Li di wa a konsa: —Men mesaj Seyè a voye ba ou: Paske ou voye moun al pale ak Baalzeboub, bondye lavil Ekwon an, tankou si pa gen Bondye nan peyi Izrayèl la ou ta ka al wè, ou p'ap janm leve sou kabann kote ou kouche a, ou pral mouri.
And Elijah said to King Ahaziah, “This is what the LORD says: Is there really no God in Israel for you to inquire of His word? Is that why you have sent messengers to inquire of Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron? Therefore you will not get up from the bed on which you are lying. You will surely die.”
17 Okozyas mouri vre, jan Seyè a te di l' la nan bouch Eli. Okozyas pa t' gen pitit gason. Se Joram, frè li, ki moute sou fotèy la nan plas li. Lè sa a, Joram, pitit gason Jozafa a, t'ap mache sou dezan depi li t'ap gouvènen nan peyi Jida.
So Ahaziah died according to the word of the LORD that Elijah had spoken. And since he had no son, Jehoram succeeded him in the second year of the reign of Jehoram son of Jehoshaphat over Judah.
18 Tout rès istwa Okozyas la ansanm ak tou sa li te fè, n'a jwenn yo ekri nan liv Istwa wa peyi Izrayèl yo.
As for the rest of the acts of Ahaziah, along with his accomplishments, are they not written in the Book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
