1 Wa 14
1 Nan lè sa a, Abija, fis a Jéroboam nan, te vin malad.
At that time was Abijah son of Jeroboam 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 saith to his wife, 'Rise, I pray thee, and change thyself, and they know not that thou [art] wife of Jeroboam, and thou hast gone to Shiloh; lo, there [is] Ahijah the prophet; he spake unto me of [being] 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 thou hast taken in thy hand ten loaves, and crumbs, and a bottle of honey, and hast gone in unto him; he doth declare to thee what becometh of the youth.'
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 the wife of Jeroboam doth so, and riseth, and goeth to Shiloh, and entereth the house of Ahijah, and Ahijah is not able to see, for his eyes have stood because 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, 'Lo, the wife of Jeroboam is coming to seek a word from thee concerning her son, for he is sick; thus and thus thou dost speak unto her, and it cometh to pass at her coming in, that she is making herself strange.'
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 cometh to pass, at Ahijah's hearing the sound of her feet [as] she came in to the opening, that he saith, 'Come in, wife of Jeroboam, why is this — thou art making thyself strange? and I am sent unto thee [with] a sharp thing:
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, say to Jeroboam, Thus said Jehovah, God of Israel, Because that I have made thee high out of the midst of the people, and appoint thee leader 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 rend the kingdom from the house of David, and give it to thee, — and thou hast not been as My servant David who kept My commands, and who walked after Me with all his heart, to do only that which [is] 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—
and thou dost evil above all who have been before thee, and goest, and makest to thee other gods and molten images to provoke Me to anger, and Me thou hast cast 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, lo, I am bringing in evil unto the house of Jeroboam, and have cut off to Jeroboam those sitting on the wall — shut up and left — in Israel, and have put away the posterity of the house of Jeroboam, as one putteth away the dung till its consumption;
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 who dieth of Jeroboam in a city do the dogs eat, and him who dieth in a field do fowl of the heavens eat, for Jehovah hath spoken.
12 Koulye a, ou menm, leve ale lakay ou. Lè pye ou fin antre nan vil la, pitit la va mouri.
'And thou, rise, go to thy house; in the going in of thy feet to the city — hath the lad died;
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 have mourned for him, and buried him, for this one — by himself — cometh of Jeroboam unto a grave, because there hath been found in him a good thing towards Jehovah, 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!
'And Jehovah hath raised up for Him a king over Israel who cutteth off the house of Jeroboam this day — and 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.
And Jehovah hath smitten Israel as the reed is moved by the waters, and hath plucked Israel from off this good ground that He gave to their fathers, and scattered them beyond the River, because that they made their shrines, 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 giveth up Israel because of the sins of Jeroboam that he sinned, and that he caused 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 the wife of Jeroboam riseth, and goeth, and cometh to Tirzah; she hath come in to the threshold of the house, and the youth dieth;
18 Tout Israël te antere li e te kriye pou li, selon pawòl SENYÈ a te pale pa sèvitè li, Achija, pwofèt la.
and they bury him, and mourn for him do all Israel, according to the word of Jehovah, that he spake by the hand of 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 matters of Jeroboam, how he fought, and how he reigned, lo, they are written on 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 that Jeroboam reigned [are] twenty and two years, and he lieth with his fathers, and reign doth Nadab his son 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 son of Solomon hath reigned in Judah; a son of forty and one years [is] Rehoboam in his reigning, and seventeen years he hath reigned in Jerusalem, the city that Jehovah chose to set His name there, out of all the tribes of Israel, and the name of his mother [is] 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 doth the evil thing in the eyes of Jehovah, and they make Him zealous above all that their fathers did by their sins that they have sinned.
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.
And they build — also they — for themselves high places, and standing-pillars, and shrines, on every high height, 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 also a whoremonger hath been in the land; they have done according to all the abominations of the nations that Jehovah dispossessed from the presence of the sons of Israel.
25 Alò, li te fèt nan senkyèm ane a Wa Roboam, Schischak, wa Égypte la te vin monte kont Jérusalem.
And it cometh to pass, in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, gone up hath Shishak king of Egypt 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 taketh the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and the treasures of the house of the king, yea, the whole he hath taken; and he taketh all the shields of gold that Solomon 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 maketh in their stead shields of brass, and hath made [them] a charge on the hand of the heads of the runners, those keeping the opening of the house of the king,
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 cometh to pass, from the going in of the king to the house of Jehovah, the runners bear them, and have brought them back unto the chamber of the runners.
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?
And the rest of the matters of Rehoboam, and all that he did, are they not written on the book of the Chronicles of the kings of Judah?
30 Te gen lagè antre Roboam avèk Jéroboam tout tan.
And war hath been between Rehoboam and Jeroboam all the days;
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 lieth with his fathers, and is buried with his fathers, in the city of David, and the name of his mother [is] Naamah the Ammonitess, and reign doth Abijam his son in his stead.
