1 Wa 16

1 Alò, pawòl SENYÈ a te vini aJéhu, fis a Hanani a kont Baescha, e te di:

And the word of the Lord came to Jehu, son of Hanani, protesting against Baasha and saying,

2 “Mwen te egzalte ou, Baescha, soti nan pousyè e Mwen te fè ou chèf sou pèp Mwen an, Israël. E ou te mache nan chemen Jéroboam pou te fè pèp Mwen an, Israël peche e te pwovoke M a lakòlè avèk peche pa yo.

Because I took you up out of the dust, and made you ruler over my people Israel; and you have gone in the ways of Jeroboam, and made my people Israel do evil, moving me to wrath by their sins;

3 Veye byen, Mwen va manje Baescha nèt avèk lakay li e Mwen va fè lakay ou tankou lakay Jéroboam, fis a Nebat la.

Truly, I will see that Baasha and all his family are completely brushed away; I will make your family like the family of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat.

4 Nenpòt moun nan Baescha ki mouri nan vil la, li va manje pa chen e nenpòt moun nan sila ki mouri nan chan, zwazo syèl yo va manje l.”

Anyone of the family of Baasha who comes to death in the town, will become food for the dogs; and he to whom death comes in the open country, will be food for the birds of the air.

5 Alò, lòt zèv a Baescha, sa li te fè ak pwisans li, èske yo pa t ekri nan Liv Kwonik a Wa Israël yo?

Now the rest of the acts of Baasha, and what he did, and his power, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Israel?

6 Epi Baescha te dòmi avèk zansèt li yo, e li te antere Thirtsa. Epi Éla, fis li a, te vin wa nan plas li.

And Baasha went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth at Tirzah; and Elah his son became king in his place.

7 Anplis, pawòl SENYÈ a, pa pwofèt la, Jéhu, fis a Hanani an, osi te vini kont Baescha avèk lakay li, akoz tout mal li te fè nan zye SENYÈ a, lè l te pwovoke Li a lakòlè avèk zèv a men li yo, lè li te vin tankou lakay Jéroboam e osi akoz li te frape li.

And the Lord sent his word against Baasha and his family by the mouth of the prophet Jehu, the son of Hanani, because of all the evil he did in the eyes of the Lord, moving him to wrath by the work of his hands, because he was like the family of Jeroboam, and because he put it to death.

8 Nan venn-sizyèm ane Asa a, wa a Juda a, Éla, fis a Baescha a, te vin wa sou Israël nan Thirtsa e li te renye pandan dezan.

In the twenty-sixth year that Asa was king of Judah, Elah, the son of Baasha, became king of Israel in Tirzah, and he was king for two years.

9 Sèvitè li, Zimri, chèf a mwatye cha li yo, te fè konplo kont li. Alò, li te lakay Thirtsa, e li t ap bwè jiskaske li te vin sou lakay Artsa, ki te chèf sou tout kay Thirtsa a.

And his servant Zimri, captain of half his war-carriages, made secret designs against him: now he was in Tirzah, drinking hard in the house of Arza, controller of the king's house in Tirzah.

10 Alò, Zimri te antre frape li e te mete l a lanmò nan venn-setyèm ane Asa a, wa a Juda a e li te devni wa nan plas li.

And Zimri went in and made an attack on him and put him to death, in the twenty-seventh year that Asa was king of Judah, and made himself king in his place.

11 Li te vin rive ke lè li te devni wa a, depi li te chita sou twòn nan, ke li te touye tout manm lakay Baesche yo. Li pa t kite menm yon gason, ni pami fanmi, ni nan zanmi li yo.

And straight away when he became king and took his place on the seat of the kingdom, he put to death all the family of Baasha: not one male child of his relations or his friends kept his life.

12 Konsa, Zimri te detwi tout lakay Baesche, selon pawòl ke SENYÈ a te pale kont Baesche pa Jéhu, pwofèt la,

So Zimri put to death all the family of Baasha, so that the word which the Lord said against him by the mouth of Jehu the prophet came about;

13 pou tout peche a Baesche yo ak peche a Éla, fis li a, peche ke yo te fè e avèk sila yo te fè Israël peche yo, e ki te pwovoke Li a lakòlè avèk zidòl pa yo.

Because of all the sins of Baasha, and the sins of Elah his son, which they did and made Israel do, moving the Lord, the God of Israel, to wrath by their foolish acts.

14 Alò, tout lòt zèv a Éla yo avèk tout sa ke li te fè yo, èske yo pa ekri nan Liv Kwonik a Wa Israël yo?

Now the rest of the acts of Elah, and all he did, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Israel?

15 Nan venn-setyèm ane Asa a, wa Juda a, Zimri, te renye pandan sèt jou nan Thirtsa. Alò, pèp la te fè kan kont Guibbethon, ki te pou Filisten yo.

In the twenty-seventh year of Asa, king of Judah, Zimri was king for seven days in Tirzah. Now the people were attacking Gibbethon in the land of the Philistines.

16 Moun ki te nan kan yo te tande li e te di: “Zimri te fè konplo pou vin frape wa a.” Pou sa, tout Israël te fè Omri chèf lame a wa a sou Israël menm jou sa a nan kan an.

And news came to the people in the tents that Zimri had made a secret design and had put the king to death: so all Israel made Omri, the captain of the army, king that day in the tents.

17 Alò, Omri ak tout Israël avèk li te monte soti nan Guibbethon pou te fè syèj kont Thirtsa.

Then Omri went up from Gibbethon, with all the army of Israel, and they made an attack on Tirzah, shutting in the town on every side.

18 Lè Zimri te wè vil la te tonbe, li te monte nan sitadèl lakay wa a. Li te brile lakay wa a sou pwòp tèt li avèk dife, e li te mouri.

And when Zimri saw that the town was taken, he went into the inner room of the king's house, and burning the house over his head, came to his end,

19 Sa te fèt akoz peche ke li te fè yo, ak mal li te fè nan zye SENYÈ a, li te mache nan chemen Jéroboam. Nan peche li te fè yo, li te fè Israël peche.

Because of his sin in doing evil in the eyes of the Lord, in going in the way of Jeroboam and in his sin which he made Israel do.

20 Alò lòt zèv a Zimri yo avèk konplo li te fè yo, èske yo pa ekri an Liv Kwonik a Wa Israël yo?

Now the rest of the acts of Zimri, and the secret design he made, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Israel?

21 Alò, pèp Israël yo te divize an de pati: mwatye te swiv Thibni, fis a Guinath la pou fè l devni wa; mwatye te swiv Omri.

Then there was a division among the people of Israel; half the people were for making Tibni, son of Ginath, king, and half were supporting Omri.

22 Men moun ki te swiv Omri yo te vin genyen sou moun ki te swiv Thibni yo, fis a Guinath la. Epi Thibni te mouri e Omri te vin wa a.

But the supporters of Omri overcame those who were on the side of Tibni, the son of Ginath; and death came to Tibni and to his brother Joram at that time: and Omri became king in the place of Tibni.

23 Nan tranteyen ane Asa a, wa Juda a, Omri te devni wa sou Israël e li te renye pandan douz ane. Li te renye pandan sizan nan Thirtsa.

In the thirty-first year of Asa, king of Judah, Omri became king over Israel, and he was king for twelve years; for six years he was ruling in Tirzah.

24 Li te achte ti mòn Samarie a nan men Schémer pou de talan ajan; epi li te bati sou ti mòn nan e li te rele vil ke li te bati a Samarie menm non a Schémer, mèt a ti mòn nan.

He got the hill Samaria from Shemer for the price of two talents of silver, and he made a town there, building it on the hill and naming it Samaria, after Shemer the owner of the hill.

25 Omri te fè mal nan zye SENYÈ a e li te aji avèk plis mechanste pase tout moun ki te avan l yo.

And Omri did evil in the eyes of the Lord, even worse than all those before him,

26 Paske li te mache nan tout chemen a Jéroboam yo, fis a Nebat la ak nan peche pa li avèk sila li te fè Israël peche yo, e te pwovoke SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la, avèk zidòl pa yo.

Copying all the evil ways of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, and all the sins he did and made Israel do, moving the Lord, the God of Israel, to wrath by their foolish ways.

27 Alò, tout lòt zèv ke Omri te fè yo ak pwisans ke li te montre yo, èske yo pa ekri nan Liv Kwonik a Wa Israël yo?

Now the rest of the acts which Omri did, and his great power, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Israel?

28 Konsa, Omri te dòmi avèk zansèt pa li yo e li te antere Samarie; epi Achab, fis li a, te devni wa nan plas li.

So Omri went to rest with his fathers, and was put into the earth in Samaria; and Ahab his son became king in his place.

29 Alò, Achab, fis a Omri a te devni wa sou Israël pandan trann-tuit ane Asa yo, wa Juda a, e Achab, fis a Omri a te renye sou Israël nan Samarie pandan venn-dezan.

In the thirty-eighth year that Asa was king of Judah, Ahab, the son of Omri, became king over Israel; and Ahab was king in Samaria for twenty-two years.

30 Achab, fis Omri a te fè mal nan zye a SENYÈ a plis pase tout moun ki te avan li yo.

And Ahab, the son of Omri, did evil in the eyes of the Lord, even worse than all who went before him.

31 Li te vin rive ke kòmsi li te yon ti bagay pou li te mache nan peche a Jéroboam yo, fis a Nebat la, ke li te marye ak Jézabel, fi a Ethbaal la, wa a Sidonyen yo, li te ale sèvi Baal e te adore li.

And as if copying the evil ways of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, was a small thing for him, he took as his wife Jezebel, daughter of Ethbaal, king of Zidon, and became a servant and worshipper of Baal.

32 Konsa, li te fè monte yon lotèl pou Baal nan kay Baal ke li te bati Samarie a.

And he put up an altar for Baal in the house of Baal which he had made in Samaria.

33 Achab osi te fè Astarté. Konsa, Achab te fè plis pou pwovoke SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la, pase tout wa a Israël ki te avan li yo.

And Ahab made an image of Asherah and did more than all the kings of Israel before him to make the Lord, the God of Israel, angry.

34 Nan jou pa li yo, Hiel, moun Béthel la te bati Jéricho. Li te poze fondasyon li yo avèk pèt Abiram, premye ne li a e li te monte pòtay li yo avèk pèt a pi piti fis li a, Segub, selon pawòl SENYÈ a te pale pa Josué, fis a Nun nan.

In his days Hiel made Jericho; he put its base in position at the price of Abiram, his oldest son, and he put its doors in place at the price of his youngest son Segub; even as the Lord had said by Joshua, the son of Nun.
