1 Wa 13
1 Alò, vwala, te vini yon nonm Bondye soti Juda rive Béthel pa pawòl SENYÈ a, pandan Jéroboam te kanpe akote lotèl la pou brile lansan an.
And, behold, there came a man of God out of Judah by the word of the Lord unto Beth-el: while Jerobo'am was standing upon the altar to burn incense.
2 Li te kriye kont lotèl la pa pawòl SENYÈ a. Li te di: “O lotèl, lotèl, konsa di SENYÈ a: ‘Veye byen, yon fis va ne nan kay David la. Josias va non li. Epi sou ou, li va fè sakrifis a prèt ki brile lansan sou ou yo, ak zo Kretyen yo ki va brile sou ou.’”
And he called out against the altar by the word of the Lord, and he said, O altar, altar, thus hath said the Lord, Behold, a child shall be born unto the house of David, Josiah by name, and he shall sacrifice upon thee the priests of the high-places that burn incense upon thee, and men's bones shall be burnt upon thee.
3 Konsa, li te bay yon sign nan menm jou sa, e li te di: “Sa se sign ke SENYÈ a te pale a: Gade byen, lotèl la va vin fann separe e sann ki sou li yo va vide deyò.”
And he gave on the same day a token, saying, This is the token that the Lord hath spoken, Behold, the altar shall be rent, and the ashes which are upon it shall be spilled about.
4 Alò, lè wa a te tande pawòl a nonm Bondye a, ke li te kriye kont lotèl Béthel la, Jéroboam te lonje men l soti nan lotèl la. Li te di: “Sezi li.” Men men ke li te lonje kont li an te vin sèch, jiskaske li pa t kab rale retounen l kote li.
And it came to pass, when the king heard the word of the man of God, which he had called out against the altar in Beth-el, that Jerobo'am stretched forth his hand from off the altar, saying, Seize him. And his hand, which he had put forth against him, dried up, so that he could not draw it back to himself.
5 Lotèl la osi te ouvri fann e sann yo te vide nèt soti nan lotèl la, selon sign ke nonm a Bondye a te bay selon pawòl SENYÈ a.
The altar also was rent, and the ashes were spilled about from the altar, according to the token which the man of God had given by the word of the Lord.
6 Wa a te di a nonm Bondye a: “Souple, fè yon lapriyè a SENYÈ a, Bondye ou a e mande pou mwen, pou men m kapab vin restore a mwen menm.” Konsa, nonm Bondye a te priye a SENYÈ a, epi men a wa a te restore de li menm. Li te vin jan li te ye avan an.
And the king commenced and said unto the man of God, Offer but entreaty before the Lord thy God, and pray in behalf of me, that my hand may return to me again. And the man of God offered his entreaty before the Lord, and the king's hand returned to him again, and became as it was before.
7 Alò, wa a te di a nonm Bondye a: “Vin lakay la avèk mwen pou rafrechi ou, e mwen va ba ou yon rekonpans.”
And the king spoke unto the man of God, Come home with me, and take some refreshment, and I will give thee a present.
8 Men nonm Bondye a te di a wa a: “Menmsi ou te ban mwen menm mwatye kay ou, mwen pa t ap prale avèk ou, ni mwen pa t ap manje pen, ni bwè dlo nan plas sa a.
But the man of God said unto the king, If thou wert to give me the half of thy house, I would not go in with thee, neither would I eat bread nor drink water in this place;
9 Paske se konsa li te kòmande mwen pa pawòl SENYÈ a e te di: ‘Ou pa pou manje okenn pen, ni bwè dlo, ni retounen pa chemen ke ou te vini an.’”
For so was it charged me by the word of the Lord, saying, Thou shalt not eat bread, nor drink water, nor return by the way that thou camest.
10 Pou sa, li te fè yon lòt chemen e li pa t retounen pa chemen ke li te vini Béthel la.
So he went by another way, and returned not by the way on which he was come to Beth-el.
11 Alò, yon pwofèt granmoun t ap viv Béthel, epi fis li yo te vini pou te di li tout zèv ke nonm Bondye a te fè pandan jou sa nan Béthel. Yo te pale li pawòl yo ke li te pale a wa a.
Now there dwelt a certain old prophet in Beth-el; and his son came and told him all the deed that the man of God had done that day in Beth-el: the words [also] which he had spoken unto the king, these too they told to their father.
12 Papa yo te di yo: “Se ki direksyon li te pran?” Alò, fis li yo te wè direksyon ke nonm Bondye ki te sòti Juda a te pran an.
And their father spoke unto them, What way did he go? His sons however had seen what way had gone the man of God, who had come from Judah.
13 Epi li te di a fis li yo: “Sele bourik la pou mwen.” Konsa, yo te sele bourik la pou li e li te sòti sou li.
And he said unto his sons, Saddle me the ass. So they saddled him the ass, and he rode away thereon,
14 Konsa, li te ale dèyè nonm Bondye a. Li te twouve li te chita anba yon pye bwadchenn. Konsa, li te mande l: “Èske ou menm se nonm Bondye ki te sòti Juda a?” Li te reponn: “Se mwen”.
And he went after the man of God, and found him sitting under the oak; and he said unto him, Art thou the man of God that camest from Judah? And he said, I am.
15 Konsa, li te di li: “Vin lakay mwen pou manje pen.”
Then said he unto him, Come with me home, and eat bread.
16 Li te di: “Mwen p ap kab retounen avèk ou, ni ale avèk ou, ni mwen p ap manje pen ni bwè dlo avèk ou nan plas sa a.
And he said, I cannot return with thee, nor go in with thee: neither will I eat bread nor drink water with thee in this place;
17 Paske yon lòd rive jwenn mwen pa pawòl SENYÈ a: ‘Ou pa pou manje pen, ni bwè dlo, ni pa retounen pa chemen ke ou te vini an.’”
For a command came to me by the word of the Lord, Thou shalt not eat bread nor drink water there; thou shalt not return to go by the way [also] by which thou camest.
18 Li te di li: “Mwen menm se yon pwofèt tankou ou, e yon zanj te pale avèk mwen pa pawòl SENYÈ, e li te di: ‘Mennen li retounen lakay ou avèk ou pou l kab manje pen ak bwè dlo. Men se manti li t ap fè.’”
And he said unto him, I also am a prophet like thee; and an angel spoke unto me by the word of the Lord, saying, Bring him back with thee unto thy house, that he may eat bread and drink water. But he lied unto him.
19 Konsa, li te retounen avèk li e te manje pen lakay li a e te bwè dlo.
So he returned with him, and ate bread in his house, and drank water.
20 Alò, li te vin rive, pandan yo te chita sou tab la a, ke pawòl SENYÈ a te vini a pwofèt ki te fè li retounen an;
And it came to pass, as they were sitting at the table, That the word of the Lord came unto the prophet who had brought him back;
21 epi li te kriye a nonm Bondye ki te sòti Juda a, e li te di: “Konsa pale SENYÈ a: ‘Akoz ou te dezobeyi kòmandman SENYÈ a e pa t swiv lòd ke SENYÈ a, Bondye ou a, te kòmande ou a,
And he called unto the man of God that was come from Judah, saying, Thus hath said the Lord, Forasmuch as thou hast disobeyed the order of the Lord, and hast not kept the commandment which the Lord thy God had commanded thee;
22 men ou te retounen, ou te manje pen e bwè dlo nan plas kote Li te di ou: “Pa manje okenn pen ni bwè okenn dlo a”; kò ou p ap rive nan tonm papa ou a.’”
But didst return, and hast eaten bread and drunk water in the place, of which he had spoken to thee, Thou shalt not eat bread, nor drink water: thy dead body shall not come unto the sepulchre of thy fathers.
23 Li te vin rive lè li te fin manje pen an e bwè a, ke li te sele bourik la pou li, pou pwofèt la te mennen li retounen.
And it came to pass, after he had eaten bread, and after he had drunk, that he saddled for him the ass, [to wit, ] for the prophet whom he had brought back.
24 Alò, lè li t ap prale, yon lyon te rankontre li sou wout la e te touye li, kò li te jete sou wout la, avèk bourik la kanpe akote li ak lyon an osi te kanpe akote kò a.
And when he was gone, a lion met him on the way, and slew him; and his corpse remained cast down on the way, and the ass stood by it, the lion also stood by the corpse.
25 Epi vwala, moun yo t ap pase kote l, e yo te wè kò a jete sou wout la ak lyon an ki te kanpe akote kò a. Konsa, yo te rive pale sa nan vil kote pwofèt granmoun nan te rete a.
And, behold, men passed by, and saw the corpse cast down on the way, and the lion standing by the corpse; and they came and spoke of it in the city where the old prophet dwelt.
26 Alò, lè pwofèt ki te mennen li retounen soti nan chemen an te tande sa, li te di: “Se nonm Bondye ki te dezobeyi lòd SENYÈ a. Pou sa, SENYÈ a te bay li a lyon, ki te chire li e touye li selon pawòl ke SENYÈ a te pale li a.”
And when the prophet that had brought him back from the way heard it, he said, It is the man of God who was disobedient unto the order of the Lord; wherefore the Lord hath given him up unto the lion, who hath torn him, and slain him, according to the word of the Lord, which he had spoken unto him.
27 Alò, li te pale avèk fis li yo e te di: “Sele bourik la pou mwen.” Epi yo te sele li.
And he spoke to his sons, saying, Saddle me the ass. And they saddled him.
28 Li te ale twouve kò li ki te jete sou wout la avèk bourik la ak lyon ki te kanpe akote kò a. Lyon an pa t manje kò a, ni li pa t chire bourik la.
And he went and found his corpse cast down on the way, and the ass and the lion standing by the corpse: the lion had not eaten the corpse, nor torn the ass.
29 Konsa, pwofèt la te leve pran kò a nonm Bondye a. Li te kouche li sou bourik la, e li te mennen li retounen. Li te rive nan vil a pwofèt granmoun nan pou kriye pou li e antere li.
And the prophet took up the corpse of the man of God, and laid it upon the ass, and brought it back; and he came to the city of the old prophet, to lament for, and to bury him.
30 Li te kouche kadav la nan pwòp tonm pa li, e yo te kriye pou li, e te di: “Anmwey, frè m!”
And he laid his corpse in his own sepulchre; and they lamented over him, “Alas, my brother!”
31 Apre li te fin antere li, li te pale avèk fis li yo e te di: “Lè m mouri, antere mwen nan tonm kote nonm Bondye a antere a. Kouche zo pa m yo akote zo pa l yo.
And it came to pass, after he had buried him, that he spoke to his sons, saying, When I am dead, then bury me in the sepulchre wherein the man of God is buried; beside his bones lay ye my bones;
32 Paske bagay la, anverite, va rive ke li te kriye selon pawòl SENYÈ a kont lotèl la Béthel ak kont tout kay plas wo ki nan vil a Samarie yo.”
For the thing which he called out by the word of the Lord against the altar which is in Beth-el, and against all the houses of the high-places which are in the cities of Samaria, will surely come to pass.
33 Apre evenman sa a, Jéroboam pa t kite chemen mechanste li, men ankò li te fè prèt pou wo plas yo soti nan tout pèp la. Nenpòt moun ki ta vle fè sa, li te òdone pou devni prèt nan wo plas yo.
After this event Jerobo'am returned not from his evil way; but made again of the lowest of the people priests of the high-places: whosoever desired it, he consecrated, that he might become one of the priests of the high-places.
34 Evenman sa a te devni peche lakay Jéroboam, jis menm pou ta detwi kay li e fè l disparèt sou fas tè a.
And he became through this thing the cause of sin unto the house of Jerobo'am, and to cause that it was blotted out, and destroyed from off the face of the earth.
