1 Wa 14
1 Nan lè sa a, Abija, fis a Jéroboam nan, te vin malad.
At that time Abijah the son of Jeroboam fell sick.
2 Jéroboam te di a madanm li: “Leve vit e abiye kòmsi pou yo pa rekonèt ou kòm madanm a Jéroboam. Konsa, ale Silo! Gade byen, Achija, pwofèt ki te pale konsènan mwen kòm wa sou pèp sa a la.
And Jeroboam said to his wife, Arise, I pray thee, and disguise thyself, that thou be not known to be the wife of Jeroboam; and get thee to Shiloh: behold, there is Ahijah the prophet, who spake concerning me that I should be king over this people.
3 Pran dis pen avèk ou, kèk gato ak yon boutèy siwo myèl, e ale kote li. Li va di ou kisa ki va rive gason an.”
And take with thee ten loaves, and cakes, and a cruse of honey, and go to him: he will tell thee what shall become of the child.
4 Madanm a Jéroboam nan te fè sa, li te leve ale Silo e li te rive kote lakay Achija. Alò, Achija pa t kab wè, pwiske zye li te vin fèb akoz laj li.
And Jeroboam’s wife did so, and arose, and went to Shiloh, and came to the house of Ahijah. Now Ahijah could not see; for his eyes were set by reason of his age.
5 Alò, SENYÈ a te di a Achija: “Gade byen, madanm a Jéroboam nan ap vin mande ou konsèy de fis li a, paske li malad. Ou va pale li konsa; paske li va fèt ke lè l rive, l ap fè kòmsi se yon lòt fanm li ye.”
And Jehovah said unto Ahijah, Behold, the wife of Jeroboam cometh to inquire of thee concerning her son; for he is sick: thus and thus shalt thou say unto her; for it will be, when she cometh in, that she will feign herself to be another woman.
6 Lè Achija te tande son a pye li ki t ap antre nan pòtay la, li te di: “Antre, madanm a Jéroboam, poukisa w ap fè kòmsi se yon lòt fanm ou ye a? Paske mwen te voye kote ou avèk yon mesaj byen di.
And it was so, when Ahijah heard the sound of her feet, as she came in at the door, that he said, Come in, thou wife of Jeroboam; why feignest thou thyself to be another? for I am sent to thee with heavy tidings.
7 Ale, pale Jéroboam: ‘Konsa pale SENYÈ a. Bondye Israël la: “Akoz Mwen te egzalte ou soti nan mitan pèp la, e te fè ou chèf sou pèp Mwen an, Israël,
Go, tell Jeroboam, Thus saith Jehovah, the God of Israel: Forasmuch as I exalted thee from among the people, and made thee prince over my people Israel,
8 e akoz Mwen te chire wayòm nan sòti lakay David pou te bay li a ou menm—sepandan, ou pa t fè jan sèvitè mwen an, David, ki te kenbe kòmandman Mwen yo e ki te swiv Mwen avèk tout kè li, pou fè sèlman sa ki te dwat nan zye Mwen.
and rent the kingdom away from the house of David, and gave it thee; and yet thou hast not been as my servant David, who kept my commandments, and who followed me with all his heart, to do that only which was right in mine eyes,
9 Anplis, ou te fè plis mechanste pase tout sila ki te avan ou yo, epi ou te fè pou ou menm lòt dye avèk imaj fonn pou pwovoke mwen a lakòlè, e ou te jete Mwen dèyè do ou—
but hast done evil above all that were before thee, and hast gone and made thee other gods, and molten images, to provoke me to anger, and hast cast me behind thy back:
10 Pou sa, gade byen, Mwen ap mennen gwo malè sou lakay Jéroboam e Mwen va koupe retire nan men Jéroboam tout gason, ni lib, ni esklav an Israël e Mwen va fè bale nèt lakay Jéroboam jan yon moun ta bale fè sòti poupou bèt jiskaske li retire li nèt.
therefore, behold, I will bring evil upon the house of Jeroboam, and will cut off from Jeroboam every man-child, him that is shut up and him that is left at large in Israel, and will utterly sweep away the house of Jeroboam, as a man sweepeth away dung, till it be all gone.
11 Nenpòt moun ki apatyen a Jéroboam ki mouri nan vil la, chen va manje li. Epi sila ki mouri nan chan an, zwazo syèl yo va manje l, paske SENYÈ a te pale.”’
Him that dieth of Jeroboam in the city shall the dogs eat; and him that dieth in the field shall the birds of the heavens eat: for Jehovah hath spoken it.
12 Koulye a, ou menm, leve ale lakay ou. Lè pye ou fin antre nan vil la, pitit la va mouri.
Arise thou therefore, get thee to thy house: [and] when thy feet enter into the city, the child shall die.
13 Tout Israël va fè lamantasyon pou li e antere li, paske se sèlman li nan tout fanmi Jéroboam ki va rive nan tonm nan, akoz nan li, yon bon bagay te twouve anvè SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la, nan kay Jéroboam nan.
And all Israel shall mourn for him, and bury him; for he only of Jeroboam shall come to the grave, because in him there is found some good thing toward Jehovah, the God of Israel, in the house of Jeroboam.
14 Anplis, SENYÈ a va fè leve pou kont Li, yon wa sou Israël ki va koupe lakay Jéroboam. Men jou sa rive! E kisa? Wi. Koulye a menm!
Moreover Jehovah will raise him up a king over Israel, who shall cut off the house of Jeroboam that day: but what? even now.
15 Paske SENYÈ a va frape Israël, tankou yon wozo k ap tranble nan dlo. Epi Li va dechouke Israël soti nan bon peyi ke Li te bay a zansèt pa li yo, e Li va gaye yo lòtbò Rivyè Euphrate la, akoz yo te fè Asherim pa yo, ki te pwovoke SENYÈ a a lakòlè.
For Jehovah will smite Israel, as a reed is shaken in the water; and he will root up Israel out of this good land which he gave to their fathers, and will scatter them beyond the River, because they have made their Asherim, provoking Jehovah to anger.
16 Li va abandone Israël akoz peche ke Jéroboam te fè a, e avèk sila ke li te fè Israël antre nan peche a.”
And he will give Israel up because of the sins of Jeroboam, which he hath sinned, and wherewith he hath made Israel to sin.
17 Alò, madanm a Jéroboam te leve ale e te rive Thirtsa. Pandan li t ap pase nan chanbrann pòt la, pitit la te mouri.
And Jeroboam’s wife arose, and departed, and came to Tirzah: [and] as she came to the threshold of the house, the child died.
18 Tout Israël te antere li e te kriye pou li, selon pawòl SENYÈ a te pale pa sèvitè li, Achija, pwofèt la.
And all Israel buried him, and mourned for him, according to the word of Jehovah, which he spake by his servant Ahijah the prophet.
19 Alò, tout lòt zèv a Jéroboam yo, jan li te fè lagè ak jan li te renye, men vwala, yo ekri nan Liv Kwonik a Wa Israël yo.
And the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, how he warred, and how he reigned, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
20 Tan ke Jéroboam te renye a te venn-dezan. Konsa, li te dòmi avèk zansèt li yo, e Nadab, fis li a te renye nan plas li a.
And the days which Jeroboam reigned were two and twenty years: and he slept with his fathers, and Nadab his son reigned in his stead.
21 Alò, Roboam fis a Salomon an te renye Juda. Roboam te gen trante-yen ane daj lè li te vin wa, e li te renye di-sèt ane Jérusalem, vil ke SENYÈ a te chwazi soti nan tout tribi Israël yo pou mete non Li a. Epi manman li te Naama, yon fi Amonit.
And Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah. Rehoboam was forty and one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which Jehovah had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there: and his mother’s name was Naamah the Ammonitess.
22 Juda te fè mal nan zye a SENYÈ a e yo te pwovoke Li a jalouzi plis pase tout zansèt pa yo te fè, avèk peche ke yo te fè yo.
And Judah did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, and they provoked him to jealousy with their sins which they committed, above all that their fathers had done.
23 Paske yo tou te bati pou yo menm wo plas yo, pilye sakre yo avèk Asherim sou chak wotè ti kolin e anba chak bèl bwa vèt.
For they also built them high places, and pillars, and Asherim, on every high hill, and under every green tree;
24 Te gen osi gason ki fè pwostitiye tanp zidòl nan peyi a. Yo te fè selon tout abominasyon a lòt nasyon ke SENYÈ a te fè sòti devan fis Israël yo.
and there were also sodomites in the land: they did according to all the abominations of the nations which Jehovah drove out before the children of Israel.
25 Alò, li te fèt nan senkyèm ane a Wa Roboam, Schischak, wa Égypte la te vin monte kont Jérusalem.
And it came to pass in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, that Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem;
26 Li te pran trezò lakay SENYÈ a avèk trezò lakay wa a. Li te pran tout bagay yo, menm tout boukliye an lò ke Salomon te fè yo.
and he took away the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and the treasures of the king’s house; he even took away all: and he took away all the shields of gold which Solomon had made.
27 Pou sa, Wa Roboam te fè boukliye an bwonz nan plas yo e te fè kòmandan a gad ki te veye pòtay kay la wa a responsab sou yo.
And king Rehoboam made in their stead shields of brass, and committed them to the hands of the captains of the guard, who kept the door of the king’s house.
28 Epi li te vin rive ke nenpòt lè wa a te antre lakay SENYÈ a, ke gad yo ta pote mennen yo retounen nan chanm gad yo.
And it was so, that, as oft as the king went into the house of Jehovah, the guard bare them, and brought them back into the guard-chamber.
29 Alò, tout lòt zèv a Roboam avèk tout sa li te fè yo, èske yo pa ekri nan liv a Kwonik a Wa Juda yo?
Now the rest of the acts of Rehoboam, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
30 Te gen lagè antre Roboam avèk Jéroboam tout tan.
And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.
31 Epi Roboam te dòmi avèk zansèt li yo, e li te antere avèk zansèt li yo nan lavil David. Non manman li se te Naama, fi Amonit lan. Abijam, fis li a, te vin wa nan plas li.
And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David: and his mother’s name was Naamah the Ammonitess. And Abijam his son reigned in his stead.
