1 Wa 22
1 Twazan te pase san gen lagè antre Syrie avèk Israël.
And they continued three years without war between Syria and Israel.
2 Nan twazyèm ane Josaphat a, wa Juda a te desann kote wa Israël la.
And it came to pass in the third year, that Jehoshaphat the 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 unto his servants, Know all of you that Ramoth in Gilead is ours, and we be still, and take it not out of the hand of the king of Syria?
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 unto Jehoshaphat, Will you go with me to battle to Ramothgilead? 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.”
And Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Israel, Enquire, I pray you, at the word of the LORD to day.
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.”
Then the king of Israel gathered the prophets together, about four hundred men, and said unto them, Shall I go against Ramothgilead to battle, or shall I forbear? And they said, Go up; for the LORD shall deliver it into the hand of the king.
7 Men Josaphat te di: “Èske pa gen yon pwofèt SENYÈ a ki la pou nou kab mande li?”
And Jehoshaphat said, Is there not here a prophet of the LORD besides, that we might enquire of him?
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 unto Jehoshaphat, There is yet one man, Micaiah the son of Imlah, by whom we may enquire of the LORD: but I hate him; for he does not prophesy good concerning me, but evil. 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 called an officer, and said, Hasten here 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.
And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the king of Judah sat each on his throne, having put on their robes, in a void place in the entrance of the gate of Samaria; and all the prophets prophesied 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 him horns of iron: and he said, Thus says the LORD, With these shall you push the Syrians, until you have consumed them.
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 prophesied so, saying, Go up to Ramothgilead, and prosper: for the LORD shall deliver it into the king's hand.
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.”
And the messenger that was gone to call Micaiah spoke unto him, saying, Behold now, the words of the prophets declare good unto the king with one mouth: let your word, I pray you, be like the word of one of them, and speak that which is good.
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, As the LORD lives, what the LORD says unto me, that will I speak.
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.”
So he came to the king. And the king said unto him, Micaiah, shall we go against Ramothgilead to battle, or shall we forbear? And he answered him, Go, and prosper: for the LORD shall deliver it into the hand 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?”
And the king said unto him, How many times shall I adjure you that you tell me nothing but that which 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.’”
And he said, I saw all Israel scattered upon the hills, as sheep that have not a shepherd: and the LORD said, These have no master: let them return 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 unto Jehoshaphat, Did I not tell you that he would prophesy no good concerning me, but 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, Hear you therefore the word of the LORD: I saw the LORD sitting on his throne, and all the host of heaven standing by him on his right hand and on 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, Who shall persuade Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramothgilead? And one said on this manner, and another said on that manner.
21 Alò, yon lespri te parèt devan SENYÈ a e te di: “Mwen va sedwi li.”
And there came forth a spirit, and stood before the LORD, and said, I will persuade him.
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 unto him, Wherewith? And he said, I will go forth, and I will be a lying spirit in the mouth of all his prophets. And he said, You shall persude him, and prevail also: go forth, 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.”
Now therefore, behold, the LORD has put a lying spirit in the mouth of all these your prophets, and the LORD has spoken evil concerning 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?”
But Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah went near, and stroke Micaiah on the cheek, and said, Which way went the Spirit of the LORD from me to speak unto 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, Behold, you shall see in that day, when you shall go into an inner chamber to hide yourself.
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 carry him back unto Amon the governor of the city, 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, Thus says the king, Put this fellow in the prison, and feed him with bread of affliction and with water of affliction, until I come 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 return at all in peace, the LORD has not spoken by me. And he said, Hearken, O people, every one of you.
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 Ramothgilead.
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 unto Jehoshaphat, I will disguise myself, and enter into the battle; but put you on your robes. And the king of Israel disguised himself, and went into the battle.
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.”
But the king of Syria commanded his thirty and two captains that had rule over his chariots, saying, Fight neither with small nor great, save only with 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.
And it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said, Surely it is the king of Israel. And they turned aside to fight against him: and Jehoshaphat cried out.
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 it came to pass, when the captains of the chariots perceived that it was not the king of Israel, that they turned back from pursuing 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 drew a bow at random, and stroke the king of Israel between the joints of the harness: wherefore he said unto the driver of his chariot, Turn your hand, and carry me out of the host; for I am 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.
And the battle increased that day: and the king was stayed up in his chariot against the Syrians, and died at even: and the blood ran out of the wound into the midst of the chariot.
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 there went a proclamation throughout the host about the going down of the sun, saying, Every man to his city, and every man to his own country.
37 Konsa, wa a te mouri. Yo te mennen l Samarie, epi yo te antere wa a Samarie.
So the king died, and was brought to Samaria; and they buried the king 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 one washed the chariot in the pool of Samaria; and the dogs licked up his blood; and they washed his armour; according unto the word of the LORD which he spoke.
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 that he did, and the ivory house which he made, and all the cities that he built, are they not written in the book of the chronicles 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 slept with his fathers; and Ahaziah his son reigned in his position.
41 Alò Josaphat, fis Asa a, te devni wa sou Juda nan Katriyèm ane Achab, wa Israël la.
And Jehoshaphat the son of Asa began to reign over Judah in the fourth year of Ahab king of 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 and five years old when he began to reign; and he reigned twenty and five years in Jerusalem. And 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.
And he walked in all the ways of Asa his father; he turned not aside from it, doing that which was right in the eyes of the LORD: nevertheless the high places were not taken away; for the people offered and burnt incense yet 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 might that he showed, and how he warred, are they not written in the book of the chronicles 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.
And the remnant of the sodomites, which remained in the days of his father Asa, he took out of the land.
47 Alò, pa t gen wa nan Édom. Se yon depite ki te wa.
There was then no king in Edom: a deputy was king.
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.
Jehoshaphat made ships of Tharshish to go to Ophir for gold: but they went not; for the ships were broken at Eziongeber.
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 said Ahaziah the son of Ahab unto Jehoshaphat, Let my servants go with your servants in the ships. But Jehoshaphat would not.
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.
And Jehoshaphat slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David his father: and Jehoram his son reigned in his position.
51 Achazia, fis a Achab la te devni wa nan plas li.
Ahaziah the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria the seventeenth year of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, and reigned two years over Israel.
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.
And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, and walked in the way of his father, and in the way of his mother, and in the way of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin:
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.
For he served Baal, and worshipped him, and provoked to anger the LORD God of Israel, according to all that his father had done.
