< 1 Wa 18 >
1 Alò, li te rive apre anpil jou ke pawòl SENYÈ a te vini a Élie nan twazyèm ane a. Li te di: “Ale, montre ou menm a Achab e Mwen va voye lapli sou fas tè a.”
Aftir many daies the word of the Lord was maad to Elie, in the thridde yeer, and seide, Go, and schewe thee to Achab, that Y yyue reyn on the face of erthe.
2 Konsa, Élie te ale montre li menm a Achab. Alò, gwo grangou a te byen rèd nan Samarie.
Therfor Elie yede to schewe hym silf to Achab; forsothe greet hungur was in Samarie.
3 Achab te rele Abdias ki te chèf sou lakay li. (Alò, Abdias te gen lakrent SENYÈ a anpil;
And Achab clepide Abdie, dispendere, ether stiward, of his hows; forsothe Abdie dredde greetli the Lord God of Israel.
4 paske lè Jézabel te detwi pwofèt SENYÈ yo, Abdias te pran yon santèn nan pwofèt yo, li te kache yo pa senkant nan yon kav e li te founi yo avèk pen avèk dlo.)
For whanne Jezabel killide the prophetis of the Lord, he took an hundrid prophetis, and hidde hem, bi fifties and fifties, in dennes, and fedde hem with breed and watir.
5 Alò, Achab te di Abdias: “Pase nan peyi kote tout sous dlo yo. Petèt nou va twouve zèb pou kenbe chwal avèk milèt yo vivan e pou nou pa oblije touye nan bèt yo.”
Therfor Achab seide to Abdie, Go thou in to the lond, to alle wellis of watris, and in to alle valeis, if in hap we moun fynde gras, and saue horsis and mulis; and werk beestis perische not outirli.
6 Pou sa, yo te divize peyi a antre yo pou yo fè rechèch li. Achab te pran yon chemen e Abdias te pran yon lòt pou kont li.
Therfor thei departiden the cuntreis to hem silf, that thei schulden cumpasse tho; Achab yede bi o weye, and Abdie yede bi another weie, `bi hym silf.
7 Alò, pandan Abdias te nan wout la, vwala, Élie te rankontre li. Abdias te rekonèt li e te tonbe sou figi li. Li te di: “Èske se ou menm, Élie, mèt mwen an?”
And whanne Abdie was in the weie, Elie mette hym; and whanne he hadde knowe Elie, he felde on his face, and seide, Whethir thou art my lord Elie?
8 Li te di li: “Se mwen. Ale, pale a mèt ou a, ‘Men vwala, Élie isit.’”
To whom he answeride, Y am. And Elie seide, Go thou, and seie to thi lord, Elie is present.
9 Li te di: “Ki peche mwen te fè ke ou ta vin mete sèvitè ou nan men Achab pou l mete m a lanmò?
And Abdie seide, What `synnede Y, for thou bitakist me in the hond of Achab, that he sle me?
10 Jan SENYÈ a, Bondye ou a, viv la, nanpwen nasyon oswa wayòm kote mèt mwen pa t voye chache ou. Lè yo te di: ‘Li pa la’, li te fè wayòm nan oswa nasyon an sèmante ke yo pa t kab jwenn ou.
Thi Lord God lyueth, for no folk ethir rewme is, whidur my lord, sekynge thee, sente not; and whanne alle men answeriden, He is not here, he chargide greetli alle rewmes and folkis, for thou were not foundun; and now thou seist to me,
11 Epi koulye a w ap di: ‘Ale di mèt ou “Men vwala, Élie!”’
Go, and seie to thi lord, Elie is present.
12 Li va vin rive ke lè m kite ou, Lespri SENYÈ a va pote ou kote m pa konnen. Konsa, lè m vini pale Achab, lè l pa kab jwenn ou, li va touye mwen, malgre mwen, sèvitè ou a, te gen lakrent SENYÈ a depi nan jenès mwen.
And whanne Y schal departe fro thee, the Spirit of the Lord schal bere thee awey in to a place which Y knowe not; and Y schal entre, and `Y schal telle to Achab, and he schal not fynde thee, and he schal sle me; forsothe thi seruaunt dredith the Lord fro his yong childhod.
13 Èske sa pa t pale a mèt mwen sa m te fè lè Jézabel te touye pwofèt SENYÈ yo, ke m te kache yon santèn nan pwofèt SENYÈ a pa senkantèn nan yon kav e mwen te founi yo avèk pen avèk dlo?
Whether it is not schewid to thee, my lord, what Y dide, whanne Jesabel killide the prophetis of the Lord, that Y hidde of the prophetis of the Lord an hundrid men, bi fifty and bi fifti, in dennes, and Y fedde hem with breed and watir?
14 Epi koulye a, w ap di mwen: ‘Ale pale a mèt ou: “Men Élie!” Epi se konsa l ap touye mwen.’
And now thou seist, Go, and seie to thi lord, Elie is present, that he sle me.
15 Élie te di: “Jan SENYÈ dèzame yo viv la, devan sila mwen kanpe a, anverite, mwen va montre mwen menm a li menm jodi a.”
And Elie seide, The Lord of oostis lyueth, bifor whos siyt Y stonde, for to dai Y schal appere to hym.
16 Konsa, Abdias te ale rankontre Achab e te pale li, epi Achab te ale rankontre Élie.
Therfor Abdie yede in to the metyng of Achab, and schewide to hym; and Achab cam in to the meetyng of Elie.
17 Lè Achab te wè Élie, Achab te di li: “Èske se ou menm, sila ki twouble Israël la?”
And whanne he hadde seyn Elie, he seide, Whether thou art he, that disturblist Israel?
18 Li te di: “Mwen pa t twouble Israël, men ou menm avèk lakay papa ou, akoz ou te abandone lòd SENYÈ yo pou ou te swiv Baal yo.
And he seide, Not Y disturble Israel, but thou, and the hows of thi fadir, whiche han forsake the comaundementis of the Lord, and sueden Baalym, `disturbliden Israel.
19 Alò, pou sa, voye ranmase vè mwen tout Israël nan Mòn Carmel avèk kat-san-senkant pwofèt Baal ak kat-san pwofèt Astarté ki manje sou tab Jézabel la.”
Netheles now sende thou, and gadere to me al Israel, in the hil of Carmele, and foure hundrid and fifti prophetis of Baal, and foure hundrid prophetis of woodis, that eten of the table of Jezabel.
20 Konsa, Achab te voye pami tout fis Israël yo e te mennen pwofèt yo ansanm nan Mont Carmel.
Achab sente to alle the sones of Israel, and gaderide prophetis in the hil of Carmele.
21 Élie te pwoche tout pèp la e te di: “Pou konbyen de tan n ap kontinye panche de bò, antre de bi? Si SENYÈ a se Bondye a, swiv Li, men si se Baal, swiv li.” Men moun yo pa t reponn menm yon mo.
Forsothe Elie neiyede to al the puple of Israel, and seide, Hou long halten ye in to twey partis? If the Lord is God, sue ye hym; forsothe if Baal is God, sue ye hym. And the puple answeride not o word to hym.
22 Konsa, Élie te di a pèp la: “Se mwen sèl ki rete kòm pwofèt SENYÈ a, men pwofèt a Baal yo se kat-san-senkant òm.
And Elie seide eft to the puple, Y dwellide aloone a prophete of the Lord; sotheli the prophetis of Baal ben foure hundrid and fifti, and the prophetis of woodis ben foure hundrid men.
23 Alò, kite yo bannou de bèf, e kite yo chwazi yon bèf pou yo menm, koupe li an mòso e mete li sou bwa a, men san pa mete dife; epi mwen va prepare lòt bèf la e kouche li sou bwa e mwen p ap mete dife.
Tweyne oxis be youun to us; and chese thei oon oxe, and thei schulen kitte in to gobetis, and schulen putte on trees, but putte thei not fier vndur; and Y schal make the tother oxe in to sacrifice, and Y schal putte on the trees, and Y schal not putte fier vnder.
24 Alò, ou va rele non a dye pa nou an e mwen va rele non SENYÈ a, e Dye ki reponn pa dife a, se Li menm ki Bondye a.” Epi tout moun yo te reponn: “Lide sa a bon.”
Clepe ye the name of youre goddis, and Y schal clepe the name of my God; and the God that herith bi fier, be he God. And al the puple answeride, and seide, The resoun is best, `which resoun Elie spak.
25 Konsa, Élie te di a pwofèt a Baal yo: “Chwazi yon bèf pou nou menm e prepare li, paske nou anpil e rele non a dye pa nou an, men pa mete dife.”
Therfor Elie seide to the prophetis of Baal, Chese ye oon oxe to you, and make ye first, for ye ben the mo; and clepe ye the names of youre goddis, and putte ye not fier vnder.
26 Konsa, yo te pran bèf ki te bay a yo menm nan, yo te prepare li e te rele non Baal la soti nan maten jis rive midi e yo t ap di: “O Baal, reponn nou.” Men pa t gen vwa e okenn moun pa t reponn. Epi yo te toutotou lotèl ke yo te fè a.
And whanne thei hadden take the oxe, whom Elie yaf to hem, thei maden sacrifice, and clepiden the name of Baal, fro the morewtid `til to myddai, and seiden, Baal, here vs! And no vois was, nether ony that answerd; and thei skippiden ouer the auter, which thei hadden maad.
27 Li te vin rive vè midi ke Élie te moke yo. Li te di: “Rele avèk vwa fò, paske li se yon dye! Oswa petèt li okipe, ke li okipe! Oswa li te vire akote, oswa li fè yon vwayaj, o petèt li dòmi e ou bezwen fè l leve.”
And whanne it was thanne myddai, Elie scornede hem, and seide, Crie ye with gretter vois, for Baal is youre god, and in hap he spekith with an other, ethir he is in a herborgerie, ether in weie, ether certis he slepith, that he be reisid.
28 Konsa, yo te kriye avèk gwo vwa. Yo te koupe kò yo selon abitid pa yo avèk nepe ak frenn jis san te fè flèv sou yo.
Therfor thei crieden with greet vois, and thei kerueden hem silf with knyues and launcetis, bi her custom, til thei weren bisched with blood.
29 Lè midi te fin pase, yo te anraje jis rive nan moman pou ofri sakrifis aswè yo, men pa t gen vwa, okenn pa t reponn, ni okenn pa t okipe yo.
Sotheli after that mydday passide, and while thei prophesieden, the tyme cam, in which the sacrifice is wont to be offrid, nether vois was herd `of her goddis, nether ony answeride, nether perceyuede hem preiynge.
30 Alò, Élie te di a tout pèp la: “Vin kote mwen.” Konsa, tout pèp la te vin kote li. Konsa, li te repare lotèl SENYÈ a ki te dechire a.
Elie seide to al the puple, Come ye to me. And whanne the puple cam to him, he arrayede the auter of the Lord, that was distried.
31 Élie te pran douz wòch selon non tribi a fis a Jacob yo, a sila pawòl SENYÈ a te parèt yo, e te di: “Israël va non ou.”
And he took twelue stonys, bi the noumbre of lynagis of sones of Jacob, to which Jacob the word of the Lord was maad, and seide, Israel schal be thi name.
32 Konsa, avèk wòch yo, li te bati yon lotèl nan non SENYÈ a e li te fè yon kanal antoure lotèl la ase laj pou kenbe de mezi semans.
And he bildide an auter of stonys, in the name of the Lord, and he made a ledyng to of watir, `ether a dich, as bi twei litle dichis in the cumpas of the auter.
33 Apre, li te ranje bwa a, li te koupe bèf la an mòso e li te poze li sou bwa a.
And he dresside trees, and he departide the oxe bi membris, and puttide on the trees,
34 Epi li te di: “Ranpli kat po avèk dlo e vide li sou ofrann brile yo ak sou bwa a.” Epi li te di: “Fè l yon dezyèm fwa,” epi yo te fè l yon dezyèm fwa. Epi li te di: “Fè l yon twazyèm fwa,” epi yo te fè l yon twazyèm fwa.
and seide, Fille ye foure pottis with watir, and schede ye on the brent sacrifice, and on the trees. And eft he seide, Also the secounde tyme do ye this. `And thei diden the secounde tyme. And he seide, Do ye the same thing the thridde tyme; and thei diden the thridde tyme.
35 Dlo a te kouri antoure lotèl la e li te plen kanal la osi.
And the watris runnen aboute the auter, and the dich of ledyng to `of watir was fillid.
36 Nan tan ofrann sakrifis aswè a, Élie, pwofèt la, te pwoche e te di: “O SENYÈ, Bondye Abraham, Isaac avèk Israël la, jodi a, kite li byen rekonèt ke Ou se Bondye an Israël, ke mwen se sèvitè Ou, e ke mwen te fè tout bagay sa yo pa pawòl Ou menm.
And whanne the tyme was thanne, that the brent sacrifice schulde be offrid, Elye the prophete neiyede, and seide, Lord God of Abraham, of Isaac, and of Israel, schewe thou to dai that thou art God of Israel, and that Y am thi seruaunt, and haue do alle these wordis bi thi comaundement.
37 Reponn mwen, O SENYÈ, reponn mwen, pou pèp sa a kapab konnen ke Ou menm, O SENYÈ, se Bondye e ke Ou fè kè yo vire retounen kote Ou ankò.”
Lord, here thou me; Lord, here thou me; that this puple lerne, that thou art the Lord God, and that thou hast conuertid eft the herte of hem.
38 Konsa, dife SENYÈ a te tonbe e te konsonmen ofrann brile a avèk bwa a, avèk wòch yo ak pousyè a e te vale tout dlo ki te nan kanal la.
Sotheli fier of the Lord felde doun, and deuouride brent sacrifice, and trees, and stonus, and lickide vp also the poudre, and the water that was in the `leding of water.
39 Lè tout pèp la te wè sa, yo te tonbe sou figi yo, epi yo te di: “SENYÈ a, se Li menm Ki Bondye a! SENYÈ a, se Li menm ki Bondye a!”
And whanne al the puple hadde seyn this, it felde in to his face, and seide, The Lord he is God; the Lord he is God.
40 Epi Élie te di yo: “Sezi pwofèt a Baal yo! Pa kite youn nan yo chape!” Yo te sezi yo, epi Élie te mennen yo desann nan flèv Kison an e te touye yo la.
And Elie seide to hem, Take ye the prophetis of Baal; not oon sotheli ascape of hem. And whanne thei hadden take hem, Elie ledde hem to the stronde of Cison, and killide hem there.
41 Alò, Élie te di a Achab: “Ale monte, manje e bwè; paske gen gwo bwi lapli.”
And Elie seide to Achab, Stie thou, ete, and drynke, for the sown of myche reyn is.
42 Konsa, Achab te monte pou manje e bwè. Men Élie te monte sou tèt Mòn Carmel; epi li te koube jenou li, apiye atè avèk figi li antre jenou li.
Achab stiede to ete and drynke; forsothe Elie stiede in to the hil of Carmele, and he settide lowli his face to the erthe, bitwixe hise knees;
43 Li te di a sèvitè li: “Ale monte koulye a, gade bò kote lanmè a.” Konsa, li te monte gade, e te di: “Nanpwen anyen” epi li te di: “Ale retounen” menm sèt fwa.”
and seide to his child, Stie thou, and biholde ayens the see. And whanne he hadde stied, and hadde biholde, he seide, No thing is. And eft Elie seide to hym, Turne thou ayen bi seuene tymes.
44 Li te vin rive nan setyèm fwa a ke li te di: “Vwala, yon grenn nwaj piti tankou men a yon moun ap monte soti kote lanmè a.” Epi li te di: “Ale monte, pale Achab pou di l: ‘fè cha ou a parèt e desann pou gwo lapli a pa rete ou.’”
Sotheli in the seuenthe tyme, lo! a litil cloude as the step of a man stiede fro the see. And Elie seide, Stie thou, and seie to Achab, Ioyne thi chare, and go doun, lest the reyn byfor ocupie thee.
45 Nan yon ti tan, syèl la te vin fènwa avèk nwaj ak van e te gen yon lapli fò. Epi Achab te monte pou te ale kote Jizréel.
And whanne thei turneden hem hidur and thidur, lo! heuenes weren maad derk, and cloud, and wynd, and greet reyn was maad. Therfor Achab stiede, and yede in to Jezrael;
46 Alò, men SENYÈ a te sou Élie. Li te mare senti li e te kouri pi vit ke Achab pou rive nan lantre kote Jizréel.
and the hond of the Lord was maad on Elie, and whanne the leendis weren gird, he ran bifor Achab, til he cam in to Jezrael.
