1 Wa 14
1 Nan lè sa a, Abija, fis a Jéroboam nan, te vin malad.
At that time Abijah the son of Jeroboam became 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.
Jeroboam said to his wife, “Please get up and disguise yourself, so that you won’t be recognised as Jeroboam’s wife. Go to Shiloh. Behold, Ahijah the prophet is there, who said that I would 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.”
Take with you ten loaves of bread, some cakes, and a jar of honey, and go to him. He will tell you what will 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.
Jeroboam’s wife did so, and arose and went to Shiloh, and came to Ahijah’s house. 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.”
The LORD said to Ahijah, “Behold, Jeroboam’s wife is coming to enquire of you concerning her son, for he is sick. Tell her such and such; for it will be, when she comes in, that she will pretend 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.
So when Ahijah heard the sound of her feet as she came in at the door, he said, “Come in, Jeroboam’s wife! Why do you pretend to be another? For I am sent to you with heavy news.
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, ‘The LORD, the God of Israel, says: “Because I exalted you from amongst the people, and made you 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 tore the kingdom away from David’s house, and gave it you; and yet you have 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 my 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 have done evil above all who were before you, and have gone and made for yourself other gods, molten images, to provoke me to anger, and have cast me behind your 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 on the house of Jeroboam, and will cut off from Jeroboam everyone who urinates on a wall, he who is shut up and he who is left at large in Israel, and will utterly sweep away the house of Jeroboam, as a man sweeps away dung until it is 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.”’
The dogs will eat he who belongs to Jeroboam who dies in the city; and the birds of the sky will eat he who dies in the field, for the LORD has spoken it.”’
12 Koulye a, ou menm, leve ale lakay ou. Lè pye ou fin antre nan vil la, pitit la va mouri.
Arise therefore, and go to your house. When your feet enter into the city, the child will 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.
All Israel will mourn for him and bury him; for he only of Jeroboam will come to the grave, because in him there is found some good thing towards the LORD, 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 the LORD will raise up a king for himself over Israel who will cut off the house of Jeroboam. This is the day! 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 the LORD will strike 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 Asherah poles, provoking the LORD 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.”
He will give Israel up because of the sins of Jeroboam, which he has sinned, and with which he has 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.
Jeroboam’s wife arose and departed, and came to Tirzah. 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.
All Israel buried him and mourned for him, according to the LORD’s word, which he spoke 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.
The rest of the acts of Jeroboam, how he fought 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.
The days which Jeroboam reigned were twenty two years; then he slept with his fathers, and Nadab his son reigned in his place.
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.
Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah. Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which the LORD had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel, to put his name there. 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.
Judah did that which was evil in the LORD’s sight, 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 for themselves high places, sacred pillars, and Asherah poles 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.
There were also sodomites in the land. They did according to all the abominations of the nations which the LORD 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.
In the fifth year of King Rehoboam, 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 LORD’s house and the treasures of the king’s house. He even took away all of it, including all the gold shields 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.
King Rehoboam made shields of bronze in their place, 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.
It was so, that as often as the king went into the LORD’s house, the guard bore them, and brought them back into the guard room.
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, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
30 Te gen lagè antre Roboam avèk Jéroboam tout tan.
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.
Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in David’s city. His mother’s name was Naamah the Ammonitess. Abijam his son reigned in his place.
