1 Wa 16
1 Alò, pawòl SENYÈ a te vini aJéhu, fis a Hanani a kont Baescha, e te di:
The word of Yahweh came to Jehu son of Hanani against Baasha, 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.
“Although I exalted you out of the dust and made you leader over my people Israel, you have walked in the way of Jeroboam and have made my people Israel to sin, so as to provoke me to anger with 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.
See, I will completely sweep away Baasha and his family and I will make your family like the family 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.”
The dogs will eat anyone belonging to Baasha who dies in the city, and the birds of the sky will eat anyone who dies in the fields.”
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?
As for the other matters concerning Baasha, what he did, and his might, are they not written in the book of the events 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 slept with his ancestors and was buried in 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.
So by the prophet Jehu son of Hanani the word of Yahweh came against Baasha and his family, both because of all the evil that he did in the sight of Yahweh, so as to provoke him to anger with the work of his hands, like the family of Jeroboam, and also because he had killed all of Jeroboam's family.
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 of Asa king of Judah, Elah son of Baasha began to reign over Israel in Tirzah; he reigned 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.
His servant Zimri, captain of half his chariots, conspired against him. Now Elah was in Tirzah, drinking himself drunk in the house of Arza, who was over the household 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.
Zimri went in, attacked him and killed him, in the twenty-seventh year of Asa king of Judah, and became 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.
When Zimri began to reign and was seated on his throne, he killed all the family of Baasha. He did not leave alive a single male belonging to Baasha's relatives or 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 all the family of Baasha, according to the word of Yahweh which he spoke against Baasha by 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.
for all the sins of Baasha and the sins of Elah his son that they committed, and by which they had led Israel to sin, so that they provoked Yahweh, the God of Israel, to anger with their idols.
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?
As for the other matters concerning Elah, all that he did, are they not written in the book of the events 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 reigned only for seven days in Tirzah. Now the army was camped by Gibbethon, which belonged to 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.
The army camped there heard it said, “Zimri has plotted and has killed the king.” So that day in the camp, all Israel declared Omri, the commander of the army, king over Israel.
17 Alò, Omri ak tout Israël avèk li te monte soti nan Guibbethon pou te fè syèj kont Thirtsa.
Omri went up from Gibbethon and all Israel with him, and they 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.
So when Zimri saw that the city had been taken, he went into the fortress attached to the king's palace and set fire to the building over him; in this way he died in the flames.
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.
This was for the sins that he had committed in doing what was evil in the sight of Yahweh, by walking in the way of Jeroboam and in the sin that he had committed, so as to lead Israel to sin.
20 Alò lòt zèv a Zimri yo avèk konplo li te fè yo, èske yo pa ekri an Liv Kwonik a Wa Israël yo?
As for the other matters concerning Zimri, and the treason that he carried out, are they not written in the book of the events 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 the people of Israel were divided into two parts. Half of the people followed Tibni son of Ginath, to make him king, and half followed 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 people who followed Omri were stronger than the people who followed Tibni son of Ginath. So Tibni died, 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 began to reign over Israel in the thirty-first year of Asa king of Judah, and he reigned twelve years. He reigned from Tirzah for six years.
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 bought the hill of Samaria from Shemer for two talents of silver. He built a city on the hill and called the name of the city Samaria, after the name of Shemer, the past 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 sight of Yahweh and acted more wickedly than all who had been 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 walked in all the ways of Jeroboam son of Nebat and in his sins by which he led Israel to sin, to provoke Yahweh, the God of Israel, to be angry with their worthless idols.
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?
As for the other matters concerning Omri which he did, and the might that he showed, are they not written in the book of the events 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 slept with his ancestors and was buried 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 of Asa king of Judah, Ahab son of Omri began to reign over Israel. Ahab son of Omri reigned over Israel in Samaria 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 what was evil in the sight of Yahweh, more than all those who were 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.
It was to Ahab a trivial thing to walk in the sins of Jeroboam son of Nebat, so he took as his wife Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal, king of the Sidonians; he went and worshiped Baal and bowed down to him.
32 Konsa, li te fè monte yon lotèl pou Baal nan kay Baal ke li te bati Samarie a.
He built an altar for Baal in the house of Baal, which 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.
Ahab made an Asherah pole. Ahab did even more to provoke Yahweh, the God of Israel, to anger than all the kings of Israel who had been 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 rule, Hiel of Bethel rebuilt Jericho. Hiel laid the foundation of the city at the cost of the life of Abiram, his firstborn son; and Segub, his youngest son, lost his life while he was building the gates of the city, in keeping with the word of Yahweh which he spoke by Joshua son of Nun.
