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 to Beth-el: and Jeroboam stood by 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 cried against the altar in the word of the LORD, and said, O altar, altar, thus saith the LORD; Behold, a child shall be born to the house of David, Josiah by name; and upon thee shall he offer 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 a sign the same day, saying, This [is] the sign which the LORD hath spoken; Behold, the altar shall be rent, and the ashes that [are] upon it 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 king Jeroboam heard the saying of the man of God, who had cried against the altar in Beth-el, that he put forth his hand from the altar, saying, Lay hold on him. And his hand, which he put forth against him, dried up, so that he could not draw it to him again.
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 poured out from the altar, according to the sign 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 answered and said to the man of God, Entreat now the face of the LORD thy God, and pray for me, that my hand may be restored to me again. And the man of God besought the LORD, and the king's hand was restored 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 said to the man of God, Come home with me, and refresh thyself, and I will give thee a reward.
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.
And the man of God said to the king, If thou wilt give me half thy house, I will not go in with thee, neither will 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, Eat no bread, nor drink water, nor turn again by the same 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 another way, and returned not by the way that he came 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 an old prophet in Beth-el; and his sons came and told him all the works that the man of God had done that day in Beth-el: the words which he had spoken to the king, them they told also 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 to them, What way went he? for his sons had seen what way the man of God went, who came 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 to his sons, Saddle me the ass. So they saddled him the ass: and he rode upon it.
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 to 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 he said to 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 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 it was said to me by the word of the LORD, Thou shalt eat no bread nor drink water there, nor turn again to go by the way that 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.’”
He said to him, I [am] a prophet also as thou [art]; and an angel spoke to me by the word of the LORD, saying, Bring him back with thee into thy house, that he may eat bread and drink water. [But] he lied to 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 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 sat at the table, that the word of the LORD came to the prophet that 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 to the man of God that came from Judah, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Forasmuch as thou hast disobeyed the mouth of the LORD, and hast not kept the commandment which the LORD 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 hast eaten bread and drank water in the place, of which [the LORD] said to thee, Eat no bread, and drink no water; thy carcass shall not come to the sepulcher 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 drank, 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 had gone, a lion met him by the way, and slew him: and his carcass was cast in the way, and the ass stood by it, the lion also stood by the carcass.
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 carcass cast in the way, and the lion standing by the carcass: and they came and told [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 brought him back from the way heard [of it], he said, It [is] the man of God, who was disobedient to the word of the LORD: therefore the LORD hath delivered him to the lion, which hath torn him, and slain him, according to the word of the LORD, which he spoke to 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 carcass cast in the way, and the ass and the lion standing by the carcass: the lion had not eaten the carcass, 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 carcass of the man of God, and laid it upon the ass, and brought it back: and the old prophet came to the city, to mourn 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 carcass in his own grave; and they mourned 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 spoke to his sons, saying, When I am dead, then bury me in the sepulcher in which the man of God [is] buried; lay my bones beside his 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 saying which he cried by the word of the LORD against the altar in Beth-el, 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 returned not from his evil way, but made again of the lowest of the people priests of the high places: whoever would, he consecrated him, and he became [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 this thing became sin to the house of Jeroboam, even to cut [it off], and to destroy [it] from the face of the earth.
