1 Wa 19
1 Alò, Achab te di Jizréel tout sa ke Élie te fè ak jan li te touye tout pwofèt yo avèk nepe.
Now Ahab tolde Iezebel all that Eliiah had done, and how he had slaine all the prophets with the sword.
2 Epi Jizréel te voye yon mesaje kote Élie. Li te di: “Konsa ke dye yo fè m sa e menm plis si mwen pa fè lavi ou tankou youn nan sa yo avan demen vè menm lè sa a.”
Then Iezebel sent a messenger vnto Eliiah, saying, The gods doe so to me and more also, if I make not thy life like one of their liues by to morowe this time.
3 Epi Élie te vin pè, e li te leve kouri pou sove lavi li. Li te rive nan Beer-Schéba, ki pou Juda a, e li te kite sèvitè li a la.
When he sawe that, he arose, and went for his life, and came to Beer-sheba, which is in Iudah, and left his seruant there.
4 Men li menm te vwayaje pandan yon jou antre nan dezè a, pou l te rive chita anba yon bwa pikan. Konsa, li te fè demann pou l ta mouri e te di: “Sa se kont! Koulye a, O SENYÈ, pran lavi mwen; paske mwen pa pi bon ke zansèt mwen yo.”
But he went a dayes iourney into the wildernesse, and came and sate downe vnder a iuniper tree, and desired that he might die, and sayde, It is now ynough: O Lord, take my soule, for I am no better then my fathers.
5 Li te kouche dòmi anba bwa pikan an. Epi vwala, te gen yon zanj ki touche li. Li te di: “Leve, manje!”
And as he lay and slept vnder the iuniper tree, behold now, an Angel touched him, and said vnto him, Vp, and eate.
6 Li te gade, e vwala, te gen bò tèt li yon gato pen wòch cho, ak yon veso dlo. Konsa, li te manje, bwè e te kouche ankò.
And when he looked about, behold, there was a cake baken on the coles, and a pot of water at his head: so he did eate and drinke, and returned and slept.
7 Zanj Bondye a te vini ankò yon dezyèm fwa, li te touche li e te di: “Leve, manje, paske vwayaj la twò gran pou ou.”
And the Angel of the Lord came againe the second time, and touched him, and sayd, Vp, and eate: for thou hast a great iourney.
8 Konsa, li te leve. Li te manje e bwè, epi li te ale ak fòs manje sa a pandan karant jou ak karant nwit pou rive Horeb, mòn Bondye a.
Then he arose, and did eate and drinke, and walked in the strength of that meate fourtie dayes and fourtie nights, vnto Horeb the mount of God.
9 Alò, li te rive la nan yon kav e li te rete ladann. Epi vwala, pawòl Bondye a te vini sou li, e Li te di li: “Kisa w ap fè isit la, Élie?”
And there he entred into a caue, and lodged there: and beholde, the Lord spake to him, and said vnto him, What doest thou here, Eliiah?
10 Li te di: “Mwen te tèlman ranpli avèk zèl pou SENYÈ a, Bondye dèzame yo, pwiske fis Israël yo te abandone akò Ou a, yo te dechire lotèl Ou yo, e te touye pwofèt Ou yo avèk nepe. Epi se mwen sèl ki rete, e y ap chache lavi m pou pran l.”
And he answered, I haue bene very ielous for the Lord God of hostes: for the children of Israel haue forsaken thy couenant, broken downe thine altars, and slayne thy Prophets with the sword, and I onely am left, and they seeke my life to take it away.
11 Pou sa, Li te di: “Ale kanpe sou mòn nan devan SENYÈ a.” Epi veye byen, SENYÈ a t ap pase! Yon gwo van fò t ap boulvèse mòn yo e t ap chire wòch yo an mòso devan SENYÈ a. Men SENYÈ a pa t nan van an. Epi apre van an, yon tranbleman detè, men SENYÈ a pa t nan tranbleman detè a.
And he saide, Come out, and stand vpon the mount before the Lord. And beholde, the Lord went by, and a mightie strong winde rent the mountaines, and brake the rockes before the Lord: but the Lord was not in the winde: and after the wind came an earthquake: but the Lord was not in the earthquake:
12 Apre van an yon dife, men SENYÈ a pa t nan dife a. Epi apre dife a, yon ti bwi tankou yon souf lejè.
And after the earthquake came fire: but the Lord was not in the fire: and after the fire came a still and soft voyce.
13 Lè Élie te tande l, li te fin vlope figi li nan manto li a e li te ale deyò nan antre kav la. Epi vwala, yon vwa te parèt a li menm e te di: “Kisa w ap fè isit la, Élie?”
And when Eliiah heard it, he couered his face with his mantel, and went out, and stoode in the entring in of ye caue: and behold, there came a voyce vnto him, and sayd, What doest thou here, Eliiah?
14 Epi li te di: “Mwen te tèlman ranpli avèk zèl pou SENYÈ a, Bondye dèzame yo, paske fis Israël yo te abandone akò Ou a, dechire lotèl Ou yo e te touye pwofèt Ou yo avèk nepe. Epi se mwen sèl ki rete; epi y ap chache lavi mwen pou pran l.”
And he answered, I haue bene very ielous for the Lord God of hostes, because the children of Israel haue forsaken thy couenant, cast downe thine altars, and slayne thy Prophets with the sworde, and I onely am left, and they seeke my life to take it away.
15 SENYÈ a te di li: “Ale, retounen sou chemen ou vè dezè Damas la, e lè ou fin rive, ou va onksyone Hazaël wa sou Syrie;
And the Lord said vnto him, Goe, returne by the wildernes vnto Damascus, and when thou commest there, anoint Hazael King ouer Aram.
16 epi Jéhu, fis Nimschi a, ou va onksyone wa sou Israël; epi Élisée, fis a Schaphath a nan Abel-Mehola a, ou va onksyone li kòm pwofèt nan plas ou.
And Iehu the sonne of Nimshi shalt thou anoynt King ouer Israel: and Elisha the sonne of Shaphat of Abel Meholah shalt thou anoynt to be Prophet in thy roume.
17 Li va vin rive ke sila ki chape anba nepe Hazaël la, Jéhu va mete l a lanmò e sila ki chape anba nepe a Jéhu a, Élisée va mete l a lanmò.
And him that escapeth from the sworde of Hazael, shall Iehu slay: and him that escapeth from the sword of Iehu, shall Elisha slay.
18 Sepandan, Mwen va kite sèt-mil an Israël, tout jenou ki pa t bese a Baal e tout bouch ki pa t konn bo li.”
Yet wil I leaue seuen thousand in Israel, euen all the knees that haue not bowed vnto Baal, and euery mouth that hath not kissed him.
19 Konsa, li te kite la e te twouve Élisée, fis a Schaphath la, pandan li t ap raboure avèk douz pè bèf devan li, li menm avèk douzyèm nan. Epi Élie te pase bò kote li e te jete manto li sou li.
So he departed thence, and found Elisha the sonne of Shaphat who was plowing with twelue yoke of oxen before him, and was with the twelft: and Eliiah went towards him, and cast his mantel vpon him.
20 Li te kite bèf yo e te kouri dèyè Élie. Li te di: “Souple, kite m bo papa m avèk manman m e mwen va swiv ou.” Epi li te di li: “Ale, retounen, paske kisa ke m te fè ou?”
And he left the oxen, and ran after Eliiah, and sayde, Let mee, I pray thee, kisse my father and my mother, and then I wil follow thee. Who answered him, Go, returne: for what haue I done to thee?
21 Konsa, li te retounen soti swiv li, li te pran pè bèf la e li te fè sakrifis avèk yo, li te bouyi chè avèk dife fèt ak zouti bèf e li te bay a pèp la pou yo te manje. Epi li te leve, li te swiv Élie pou te sèvi li.
And when he went backe againe from him, he tooke a couple of oxen, and slewe them, and sod their flesh with the instruments of the oxen, and gaue vnto the people, and they did eate: then he arose and went after Eliiah, and ministred vnto him.
