1 Wa 16
1 Alò, pawòl SENYÈ a te vini aJéhu, fis a Hanani a kont Baescha, e te di:
Then this message from the Lord came to the prophet Jehu, son of Hanani, condemning Baasha.
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.
“Even though I lifted you out of the dust to make you ruler over my people Israel, you have followed the way of Jeroboam and have made my people Israel sin, making me angry 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.
Now I'm going to destroy Baasha and his family. Baasha, I will make your family like that of Jeroboam, 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.”
Those of Baasha's family who die in the town will be eaten by dogs, and those who die in the countryside will be eaten by birds.”
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?
The rest of the events of Baasha's reign, everything that he did and what he accomplished, are recorded in the Book of Chronicles 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.
Baasha died and was buried in Tirzah. His son Elah succeeded him as king.
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.
The message from the Lord condemning Baasha and his family came to the prophet Jehu, son of Hanani. It came because Baasha had done what was evil in the Lord's sight, in the same way as the family of Jeroboam had done, and also because Baasha had killed Jeroboam's family. The Lord was angry because of Baasha's sins.
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.
Elah, son of Baasha, became king of Israel in the twenty-sixth year of the reign of King Asa of Judah. He reigned in Tirzah 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.
One of Elah's officials called Zimri who was in charge of half his chariots plotted a rebellion against him. One time Elah was in Tirzah, getting himself drunk at the home of Arza, the palace manager at 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.
Zimri went up to him, attacked him, and killed him. This was in the twenty-seventh year of the reign of Asa, king of Judah. Then he took over from him as king.
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.
As soon as he became king and was installed on his throne, he killed all of Baasha's family. He did not leave a single male alive, whether of his relatives or of his friends.
12 Konsa, Zimri te detwi tout lakay Baesche, selon pawòl ke SENYÈ a te pale kont Baesche pa Jéhu, pwofèt la,
So Zimri destroyed the entire household of Baasha, as the Lord had said in his condemnation of Baasha through Jehu the prophet.
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.
This was because of all the sins Baasha and his son Elah had committed and had made Israel to commit. Their worship of their useless idols had angered the Lord, the God of Israel.
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?
The rest of what happened in Elah's reign and everything that he did are recorded in the Book of Chronicles 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.
Zimri became king of Israel in the twenty-seventh year of the reign of King Asa of Judah. He reigned in Tirzah seven days. At that time the Israelite army was attacking the Philistine town of Gibbethon.
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.
When the troops who were camped there learned that Zimri had plotted rebellion against the king and had murdered him, they made Omri, the army commander, king of Israel that same day in the army camp.
17 Alò, Omri ak tout Israël avèk li te monte soti nan Guibbethon pou te fè syèj kont Thirtsa.
Omri and the whole Israelite army left Gibbethon and went and besieged Tirzah.
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.
When Zimri saw that the city had been taken he went into the fortress of the royal palace and set it on fire around him, and he died, because of the sins he had committed.
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.
He did evil in the Lord's sight and followed the way of Jeroboam and his sin which he had made Israel commit.
20 Alò lòt zèv a Zimri yo avèk konplo li te fè yo, èske yo pa ekri an Liv Kwonik a Wa Israël yo?
The rest of what happened in Zimri's reign and his rebellion are recorded in the Book of Chronicles 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.
After this the people of Israel were divided. Half supported Tibni, son of Ginath, as king, while the other half supported 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.
However, those on Omri's side defeated Tibni's supporters. Tibni was killed and Omri became king.
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.
Omri became king of Israel in the thirty-first year of the reign of King Asa of Judah. He reigned for a total of twelve years, (six of them were 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 purchased the hill of Samaria from Shemer for two talents of silver. He fortified the hill, and named the city that he built Samaria, after Shemer, the previous 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.
Omri did what was evil in the Lord's sight—in fact he did more evil than those who lived 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.
For he followed all the ways of Jeroboam, son of Nebat, and in his sins which he made Israel commit, worshiping their useless idols which angered the Lord, the God of Israel.
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?
The rest of what happened in Omri's reign, what he did, and his achievements are recorded in the Book of Chronicles 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.
Omri died and was buried in Samaria. His son Ahab succeeded him as king.
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.
Ahab, son of Omri, became king of Israel in the thirty-eighth year of the reign of King Asa of Judah. He reigned 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.
Ahab, son of Omri, did evil in the Lord's sight, more than those who lived 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.
He didn't see anything to worry about in following the sins of Jeroboam, son of Nebat, and he even married Jezebel, daughter of Ethbaal, king of the Sidonians, and started to serve and worship Baal.
32 Konsa, li te fè monte yon lotèl pou Baal nan kay Baal ke li te bati Samarie a.
Ahab made an altar for Baal in the temple of Baal that he had built 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.
Then he put up an Asherah pole. In this way Ahab did more to anger the Lord, the God of Israel, than all the kings of Israel before him.
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.
During Ahab's reign Hiel of Bethel rebuilt Jericho. He sacrificed Abiram his firstborn son when he laid its foundation, and sacrificed Segub his youngest son when he constructed its gates. This fulfilled the message the Lord had given through Joshua, son of Nun.
