1 Wa 22
1 Twazan te pase san gen lagè antre Syrie avèk Israël.
Now for three years there was no war between Aram and Israel.
2 Nan twazyèm ane Josaphat a, wa Juda a te desann kote wa Israël la.
And it came about in the third year, that Jehoshaphat, king of Judah, came down to the king of Israel.
3 Alò, wa Israël la te di a sèvitè li yo: “Èske nou konnen ke Ramoth-Galaad apatyen a nou menm e jiska prezan, nou p ap fè anyen pou rache li nan men wa Syrie a.”
And the king of Israel said to his servants, Do you not see that Ramoth-gilead is ours? and we are doing nothing to get it back from the hands of the king of Aram.
4 Epi li te di a Josaphat: “Èske ou va ale avèk mwen nan batay a Ramoth-Galaad la?” Josaphat te di a wa Israël la: “Mwen tankou ou menm, pèp mwen an tankou pèp pa w la, cheval mwen yo tankou cheval pa ou yo.”
And he said to Jehoshaphat, Will you go with me to Ramoth-gilead to make war? And Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, I am as you are: my people as your people, my horses as your horses.
5 Anplis, Josaphat te di a wa Israël la: “Souple, fè demann premyèman selon pawòl SENYÈ a.”
Then Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, Let us now get directions from the Lord.
6 Alò wa Israël la te rasanble pwofèt yo ansanm, anviwon kat-san mesye. Li te di yo: “Èske mwen dwe ale kont Ramoth-Galaad nan batay la, oswa èske mwen dwe fè bak?” Yo te di: “Ale monte, paske SENYÈ a va bay li nan men a wa a.”
So the king of Israel got all the prophets together, about four hundred men, and said to them, Am I to go to Ramoth-gilead to make war or not? And they said, Go up: for the Lord will give it into the hands of the king.
7 Men Josaphat te di: “Èske pa gen yon pwofèt SENYÈ a ki la pou nou kab mande li?”
But Jehoshaphat said, Is there no other prophet of the Lord here from whom we may get directions?
8 Wa Israël la te di a Josaphat: “Genyen toujou yon nonm pa sila nou kapab fè demann SENYÈ a, men mwen rayi li, akoz li pa pwofetize sa ki bon pou mwen, men sa ki mal. Michée, fis a Jimla a.” Men Josaphat te di: “Pa kite wa a di sa.”
And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, There is still one man by whom we may get directions from the Lord, Micaiah, son of Imlah; but I have no love for him, for he is a prophet of evil to me and not of good. And Jehoshaphat said, Let not the king say so.
9 Wa Israël la te rele yon ofisye e te di: “Mennen byen vit Michée, fis a Jimla a.”
Then the king of Israel sent for one of his unsexed servants and said, Go quickly and come back with Micaiah, the son of Imlah.
10 Alò, wa Israël la avèk Josaphat, wa Juda a te chita chak sou pwòp twòn pa yo, abiye an wòb pa yo nan pòtay pou antre Samarie a, epi tout pwofèt yo t ap pwofetize devan yo.
Now the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, were seated on their seats of authority, dressed in their robes, by the doorway into Samaria; and all the prophets were acting as prophets before them.
11 Alò Sédécias, fis a Kenaana a te fè kòn yo an fè pou kont li, e te di: “Konsa pale SENYÈ a: ‘Avèk sila yo, ou va frape Siryen yo jiskaske yo fin detwi.’”
And Zedekiah, the son of Chenaanah, made himself horns of iron and said, The Lord says, Pushing back the Aramaeans with these, you will put an end to them completely.
12 Tout pwofèt yo t ap pwofetize konsa e t ap di: “Ale monte Ramoth-Galaad e byen reyisi; paske SENYÈ a va mete li nan men wa a.”
And all the prophets said the same thing, saying, Go up to Ramoth-gilead, and it will go well for you, for the Lord will give it into the hands of the king.
13 Mesaje a ki te ale rele Michée te pale li. Li te di: “Koulye a, gade byen, tout pawòl a pwofèt yo favorab anvè wa a. Souple, kite pawòl ou yo fèt tankou pawòl a youn nan yo, e pale avèk favè.”
Now the servant who had gone to get Micaiah said to him, See now, all the prophets with one voice are saying good things to the king; so let your words be like theirs and say good things.
14 Men Michée te di: “Jan SENYÈ a viv la, sa ke SENYÈ a pale mwen an, se sa mwen va pale.”
And Micaiah said, By the living Lord, whatever the Lord says to me I will say.
15 Lè li te vin kote wa a, wa a te di li: “Michée, èske nou dwe ale Ramoth-Galaad nan batay la, oswa èske nou dwe fè bak?” Konsa, li te reponn li: “Ale monte e byen reyisi e SENYÈ a va bay li nan men wa a.”
When he came to the king, the king said to him, Micaiah, are we to go to Ramoth-gilead to make war or not? And in answer he said, Go up, and it will go well for you; and the Lord will give it into the hands of the king.
16 Alò, wa a te di li: “Konbyen de tan èske mwen oblije di ou pou pa pale anyen avè m sof ke laverite nan non SENYÈ a?”
Then the king said to him, Have I not, again and again, put you on your oath to say nothing to me but what is true in the name of the Lord?
17 Pou sa, li te di: “Mwen te wè tout Israël gaye sou mòn yo, tankou mouton ki san bèje. Konsa, SENYÈ a te di: ‘Sila yo pa gen mèt. Kite yo chak retounen lakay yo anpè.’”
Then he said, I saw all Israel wandering on the mountains like sheep without a keeper; and the Lord said, These have no master: let them go back, every man to his house in peace.
18 Epi wa Israël la te di a Josaphat: “Èske mwen pa t di ou ke li pa t ap fè bon pwofesi pou mwen, men pito move?”
And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, Did I not say that he would not be a prophet of good but of evil?
19 Michée te di: “Pou sa, tande pawòl SENYÈ a. Mwen te wè SENYÈ a te chita sou twòn Li e tout lame syèl la te kanpe akote Li adwat Li e agoch Li.
And he said, Give ear now to the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord seated on his seat of power, with all the army of heaven in their places round him at his right hand and at his left.
20 SENYÈ a te di: ‘Kilès k ap sedwi Achab pou ale monte e tonbe Ramoth-Galaad?’ Epi youn te di sesi e youn te di sela.”
And the Lord said, How may Ahab be tricked into going up to Ramoth-gilead to his death? And one said one thing and one another.
21 Alò, yon lespri te parèt devan SENYÈ a e te di: “Mwen va sedwi li.”
Then a spirit came forward and took his place before the Lord and said, I will get him to do it by a trick.
22 SENYÈ a te di li: “Kijan?” Epi li te reponn: “Mwen va sòti deyò pou devni yon lespri twonpè nan bouch a tout pwofèt li yo.” Epi Li te di: “Ou gen non sèlman pou sedwi li, men pou vin genyen li nèt. Ale fè sa.”
And the Lord said, How? And he said, I will go out and be a spirit of deceit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, Your trick will have its effect on him: go out and do so.
23 “Alò, pou sa, gade byen, SENYÈ a te mete yon lespri twonpè nan bouch a tout pwofèt pa ou yo; epi SENYÈ a te pwoklame dega nèt kont ou.”
And now, see, the Lord has put a spirit of deceit in the mouth of all these your prophets; and the Lord has said evil against you.
24 Konsa, Sédécias, fis a Kenaana a te vin toupre e te frape Michée sou machwè li. Li te di: “Kijan lespri SENYÈ a te pase sòti nan mwen pou pale avèk ou?”
Then Zedekiah, the son of Chenaanah, came near and gave Micaiah a blow on the side of the face, saying, Where is the spirit of the Lord whose word is in you?
25 Michée te di: “Gade byen, ou va wè sa nan jou lè ou antre nan yon chanm a lenteryè pou kache kò w.”
And Micaiah said, Truly, you will see on that day when you go into an inner room to keep yourself safe.
26 Alò, wa Israël la te di: “Pran Michée e retounen li vè majistra lavil la ak Joas, fis a wa a,
And the king of Israel said, Take Micaiah and send him back to Amon, the ruler of the town, and to Joash, the king's son;
27 epi di li: ‘Konsa pale wa a: “Mete nonm sa a nan prizon a e bay li tikras pen ak dlo sèlman kòm manje jiskaske mwen retounen san mal pa rive m.”’”
And say, It is the king's order that this man is to be put in prison and given prison food till I come again in peace.
28 Michée te di: “Si ou, anverite, retounen san ke mal pa rive, SENYÈ a pa t fè m pale.” Epi li te di: “Koute, tout pèp nou an!”
And Micaiah said, If you come back at all in peace, the Lord has not sent his word by me.
29 Konsa, wa Israël la avèk Josaphat, wa Juda a, te monte kont Ramoth-Galaad.
So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, went up to Ramoth-gilead.
30 Wa Israël la te di a Josaphat: “Mwen va kache idantite mwen e antre nan batay la, men ou menm, mete vètman pa ou.” Konsa, wa Israël la te kache idantite li e te antre nan batay la.
And the king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, I will make a change in my clothing, so that I do not seem to be the king, and will go into the fight; but do you put on your robes. So the king of Israel made a change in his dress and went into the fight.
31 Alò, wa Syrie a te kòmande trann-de kapitèn a cha li yo. Li te di: “Pa goumen avèk piti ni gran, men sèlman avèk wa Israël la.”
Now the king of Aram had given orders to the thirty-two captains of his war-carriages, saying, Make no attack on small or great, but only on the king of Israel.
32 Konsa, lè kapitèn a cha yo te wè Josaphat, yo te di: “Anverite, sa se wa Israël la,” epi yo te vire akote pou goumen kont li e Josaphat te kriye fò.
So when the captains of the war-carriages saw Jehoshaphat, they said, Truly, this is the king of Israel; and turning against him, they came round him, but Jehoshaphat gave a cry.
33 Lè kapitèn a cha yo te wè ke li pa t wa Israël la, yo te rale bak e te sispann swiv li.
And when the captains of the war-carriages saw that he was not the king of Israel, they went back from going after him.
34 Alò, yon sèten nonm te rale banza li pa aza e te frape wa Israël la. Flèch la te antre nan yon kwen nan vètman pwotèj la. Konsa, li te di chofè cha li a: “Retounen fè bak e retire mwen nan batay la, paske mwen blese byen sevè.”
And a certain man sent an arrow from his bow without thought of its direction, and gave the king of Israel a wound where his breastplate was joined to his clothing; so he said to the driver of his war-carriage, Go to one side and take me away out of the army, for I am badly wounded.
35 Batay la te boule rèd pandan jou sa a. Yo te soutni wa a pou l kanpe nan cha li devan Siryen yo, e nan leswa a, li te mouri. San a te soti nan blesi a pou l antre nan enteryè cha a.
But the fight became more violent while the day went on; and the king was supported in his war-carriage facing the Aramaeans, and the floor of the carriage was covered with the blood from his wound, and by evening he was dead.
36 Epi yon kri te sòti toupatou nan lame a nan lè solèy kouche a. Yo te di: “Chak moun rive nan vil li, e chak mesye nan pwòp peyi pa l.”
And about sundown a cry went up from all parts of the army, saying, Let every man go back to his town and his country, for the king is dead.
37 Konsa, wa a te mouri. Yo te mennen l Samarie, epi yo te antere wa a Samarie.
And they came to Samaria, and put the king's body to rest in Samaria.
38 Yo te lave cha a akote sous dlo Samarie a, e chen yo te niche san li nan kote pwostitiye yo te konn benyen, selon pawòl SENYÈ a te pale a.
And the war-carriage was washed by the pool of Samaria, which was the bathing-place of the loose women, and the dogs were drinking his blood there, as the Lord had said.
39 Alò, tout lòt zèv a Achab yo avèk tout sa ke li te fè ak kay ivwa ke li te konstwi a ak tout vil ke li te bati yo, èske yo pa ekri nan Liv Kwonik a Wa Israël yo?
Now the rest of the acts of Ahab, and all he did, and his ivory house, and all the towns of which he was the builder, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Israel?
40 Konsa, Achab te dòmi avèk zansèt pa li yo, e Achazia, fis li a, te devni wa nan plas li.
So Ahab was put to rest with his fathers; and Ahaziah his son became king in his place.
41 Alò Josaphat, fis Asa a, te devni wa sou Juda nan Katriyèm ane Achab, wa Israël la.
And Jehoshaphat, the son of Asa, became king over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab's rule over Israel.
42 Josaphat te gen trann-senk ane lè li te devni wa, e li te renye pandan venn-senk ane Jérusalem. Epi non manman li se te Azuba, fi a Schilchi a.
Jehoshaphat was thirty-five years old when he became king, and he was king for twenty-five years in Jerusalem. His mother's name was Azubah, the daughter of Shilhi.
43 Li te mache nan chemen Asa, papa li. Li pa t vire akote e li te fè sa ki te dwat nan zye SENYÈ a. Sepandan, wo plas yo pa t retire. Pèp la te toujou fè sakrifis e te brile lansan sou wo plas yo.
He did as Asa his father had done, not turning away from it, but doing what was right in the eyes of the Lord; but the high places were not taken away: the people went on making offerings and burning them in the high places.
44 Josaphat osi te fè lapè avèk wa Israël la.
And Jehoshaphat made peace with the king of Israel.
45 Alò, tout lòt zèv a Josaphat yo, avèk pwisans ke li te montre ak jan li te fè lagè, èske yo pa ekri nan liv Kwonik a Wa a Juda yo?
Now the rest of the acts of Jehoshaphat, and his great power, and how he went to war, are they not recorded in the book of the history of the kings of Judah?
46 Retay a sadomit ki te rete nan jou papa li yo, Asa, li te fè ekzile yo sòti nan peyi a.
He put an end to the rest of those who were used for sex purposes in the worship of the gods, all those who were still in the land in the time of his father Asa.
47 Alò, pa t gen wa nan Édom. Se yon depite ki te wa.
At that time there was no king in Edom;
48 Josaphat te fè bato a Tarsis yo vwayaje a Ophir pou lò, men yo pa t rive, paske bato yo te kraze kote Etsjon-Guéber.
And the representative of King Jehoshaphat made a Tarshish-ship to go to Ophir for gold, but it did not go, because it was broken at Ezion-geber.
49 Alò, Achazia, fis Achab la, te di a Josaphat: “Kite sèvitè mwen yo ale avèk sèvitè ou yo nan bato yo.” Men Josaphat pa t dakò.
Then Ahaziah, the son of Ahab, said to Jehoshaphat, Let my men go with yours in the ships. But Jehoshaphat would not let them.
50 Konsa, Josaphat te dòmi avèk zansèt pa li yo e te antere avèk zansèt li yo nan vil a papa li a, David e Joram, fis li a, te renye nan plas li.
Then Jehoshaphat went to rest with his fathers, and his body was put into the earth in the town of David his father; and Jehoram his son became king in his place.
51 Achazia, fis a Achab la te devni wa nan plas li.
Ahaziah, the son of Ahab, became king over Israel in Samaria in the seventeenth year of the rule of Jehoshaphat, the king of Judah, and he was king over Israel for two years.
52 Li te fè mal nan zye SENYÈ a e li te mache nan chemen papa li, nan chemen manman l ak nan chemen Jéroboam, fis a Nebath la, ki te fè Israël peche a.
He did evil in the eyes of the Lord, going in the ways of his father and his mother, and in the ways of Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, who made Israel do evil.
53 Konsa, li te sèvi Baal, li te adore li e te pwovoke SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la, a lakòlè, selon tout sa ke papa li te konn fè yo.
He was a servant and worshipper of Baal, moving the Lord, the God of Israel, to wrath, as his father had done.
