2 Wa 1
1 Apre lanmò Akab, wa peyi Izrayèl la, peyi Moab pran lèzam kont moun Izrayèl yo.
And Moab transgresses against Israel after the death of Ahab,
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.
and Ahaziah falls through the lattice in his upper chamber that [is] in Samaria, and is sick, and sends messengers, and says to them, “Go, inquire of Ba‘al-Zebub god of Ekron if I recover from this sickness.”
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.
And a messenger of YHWH has spoken to Elijah the Tishbite, “Rise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and speak to them, Is it because there is not a God in Israel—you are going to inquire of Ba‘al-Zebub 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.
And therefore, thus said YHWH: The bed to where you have gone up, you do not come down from it, for you certainly die”; and Elijah goes on.
5 Lè mesaje yo tounen al jwenn wa a, wa a mande yo: —Poukisa nou tounen?
And the messengers return to him, and he says to them, “What [is] this—you have turned back!”
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.
And they say to him, “A man has come up to meet us and says to us, Go, return to the king who sent you, and you have said to him, Thus said YHWH: Is it because there is not a God in Israel—you are sending to inquire of Ba‘al-Zebub god of Ekron? Therefore, the bed to where you have gone up, you do not come down from it, for you certainly 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?
And he says to them, “What [is] the fashion of the man who has come up to meet you, and speaks 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.
And they say to him, “A hairy man, and a girdle of skin girt around his loins”; and he says, “He [is] Elijah the Tishbite.”
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.
And he sends to him a head of fifty and his fifty, and he goes up to him (and behold, he is sitting on the top of the hill), and he speaks to him, “O man of God, the king has spoken, 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.
And Elijah answers and speaks to the head of the fifty, “And if I [am] a man of God, fire comes down from the heavens and consumes you and your fifty”; and fire comes down from the heavens and consumes him and his fifty.
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.
And he turns and sends to him another head of fifty and his fifty, and he answers and speaks to him, “O man of God, thus said the king: Hurry, come down.”
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.
And Elijah answers and speaks to them, “If I [am] a man of God, fire comes down from the heavens and consumes you and your fifty”; and fire of God comes down from the heavens and consumes him and his fifty.
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!
And he turns and sends a third head of fifty and his fifty, and the third head of fifty goes up, and comes in, and bows on his knees before Elijah, and makes supplication to him, and speaks to him, “O man of God, please let my soul and the soul of your servants—these fifty—be precious in your eyes.
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 the heavens and consumes the two heads of the former fifties and their fifties; and now, let my soul be precious in your eyes.”
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.
And a messenger of YHWH speaks to Elijah, “Go down with him, do not be afraid of him”; and he rises and goes 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 speaks to him, “Thus said YHWH: Because that you have sent messengers to inquire of Ba‘al-Zebub god of Ekron—is it because there is not a God in Israel to inquire of His word? Therefore, the bed to where you have gone up—you do not come down from it, for you certainly 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.
And he dies, according to the word of YHWH that Elijah spoke, and Jehoram reigns in his stead, in the second year of Jehoram son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, for he had no son.
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.
And the rest of the matters of Ahaziah that he did, are they not written on the scroll of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?
