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 lo! a man of God, came in out of Judah, by the word of Yahweh, unto Bethel, —as Jeroboam was standing by the altar, to make a perfume.
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 made proclamation against the altar, by the word of Yahweh, and said, O altar! altar! Thus, saith Yahweh, —Lo! a son to be born unto the house of David, Josiah his name, who shall sacrifice upon thee the priests of the high-places, who are making a perfume upon thee, and, human bones, shall be burned 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 shall give, on that day, a sign, saying, This, is the sign of which Yahweh hath spoken, —Lo! the altar, is to be rent, and the ashes that are upon thee shall be, poured out!
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 proclaimed against the altar in Bethel, Jeroboam thrust forth his hand, from off the altar, saying—Lay hold of him! and his hand which he had thrust forth against him was dried up, that he could not draw it back to him.
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.
Moreover, the altar, was rent, and the ashes poured out from the altar, —according to the sign which the man of God had given, by the word of Yahweh.
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.
Then responded the king and said unto the man of God—Appease, I pray thee, the face of Yahweh thy God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored unto me. So the man of God appeased the face of Yahweh, and the hand of the king was restored unto him, and became as aforetime.
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.”
Then spake the king unto the man of God, Come home with me, and refresh thyself, —and let me 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 wouldst give me the half of thy house, I would not go in with thee, —neither would I eat bread or 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, he charged me, by the word of Yahweh, saying, Thou shalt not eat bread, nor shalt thou drink water, —neither shalt thou come back by the way thou wentest.
10 Pou sa, li te fè yon lòt chemen e li pa t retounen pa chemen ke li te vini Béthel la.
So he departed another way, —and went not back by the way by which he came unto Bethel.
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.
But, a certain aged prophet, was dwelling in Bethel, —whose sons came in and related to him all the deeds which the man of God had done that day in Bethel—and the words which he had spoken unto the king, and they related them 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 said unto them, Which way then went he? Now his sons had seen the way which the man of God went who had come in out of 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.
So he said unto his sons, Saddle for me, the ass. And they saddled for him the ass, and he rode 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 went after the man of God, and found him, sitting under an oak. And he said unto him—Art, thou, the man of God who came in out of Judah? And he said—I am.
15 Konsa, li te di li: “Vin lakay mwen pou manje pen.”
Then said he unto him, Come home with me, —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 may not return with thee, nor go in with thee, —neither will I eat bread or 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 there came a message unto me by the word of Yahweh, Thou shalt neither eat bread, nor drink water there, —thou shalt not turn back to come by the way by which thou wentest.
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 to him-I also, am a prophet, like unto thee, and, a messenger, hath spoken unto me, by the word of Yahweh, saying—Bring him back with thee, into thy house, that he may eat bread, and drink water. He deceived him.
19 Konsa, li te retounen avèk li e te manje pen lakay li a e te bwè dlo.
So he went back with him, and did eat 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 so it was, as, they, were sitting at the table, yea, so it was, that the word of Yahweh 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 cried out unto the man of God who had come in out of Judah, saying, Thus, saith Yahweh, —Forasmuch as thou hast rebelled against the bidding of Yahweh, and hast not kept the commandment which Yahweh thy God 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 hast returned, and eaten bread and drunk water, in the place of which he said unto thee, Thou mayest neither eat bread nor drink water: thy dead body shall not enter the burying-place 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, 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 had gone, there met him a lion by the way, and slew him, —and his dead body was cast out in the way, and, the ass, was standing near it, and, the lion, was standing near the dead body.
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 lo! certain men, passing by, saw the dead body, cast out in the way, and the lion standing near the dead body, —so they came in, and spake [of it] in the city, wherein, the aged 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 who had brought him back from the way heard of it, he said—The man of God, it is, who rebelled against the bidding of Yahweh, —therefore did Yahweh deliver him unto the lion, and it hath torn him and slain him, according to the word of Yahweh which he spake 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 spake unto his sons, saying, Saddle for me the ass. And they saddled it.
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.
So he went and found his dead body, cast out in the way, with, the ass and the lion, standing near the dead body, —the lion had neither eaten the dead body, nor had it 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 dead body of the man of God, and laid it upon the ass, and brought it back, —and the aged prophet came into the city, to make lamentation, 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 dead body in his own grave, —and they lamented over him, [saying] —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 spake unto his sons, saying, When I die, then shall ye bury me in the grave wherein the man of God is buried; beside his bones, lay 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 message which he proclaimed, by the ward of Yahweh, against the altar which is in Bethel, —and against all the houses of the high places which are in the cities of Samaria, shall 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 thing, Jeroboam turned not from his wicked way, —but again made, from the whole compass of the people, priests of high places, whomsoever he would, he installed, and he became priest of 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 so this thing became the sin of the house of Jeroboam, —that it should be both taken away and destroyed, from off the face of the ground.
