< 2 Wa 1 >
1 Lè Achab te fin mouri, Moab te fè rebelyon kont Israël.
Then Moab rebelled against Israel after the death of Ahab.
2 Konsa, Achazia te tonbe sou treyi a soti nan chanm anwo ki te nan Samarie a e li te vin malad. Konsa, li te voye mesaje yo. Li te di yo: “Ale mande a Baal-Zebub, dye a Ékron an si m ap geri de maladi sa a.”
And Ahaziah fell down through a lattice in his upper chamber that was in Samaria, and was sick: and he sent messengers, and said to them, Go, enquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron whether I shall recover from this disease.
3 Men zanj SENYÈ a te di a Élie, Tichbit la: “Leve, ale monte pou rankontre mesaje a wa Samarie yo. Di yo: ‘Èske se akoz nanpwen Dye an Israël ke ou prale mande a Baal-Zebub, dye a Ékron an?’
But the angel of the LORD said to Elijah the Tishbite, Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and say to them, Is it not because there is not a God in Israel, that ye go to enquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron?
4 Alò, se pou sa, pale SENYÈ a: ‘Ou p ap desann soti nan kabann kote ou te monte a, men ou va anverite, mouri.’” Konsa, Élie te pati.
Now therefore thus saith the LORD, Thou shalt not come down from that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die. And Elijah departed.
5 Lè mesaje yo te retounen bò kote li, li te di yo: “Se poukisa ke nou tounen an?”
And when the messengers returned to him, he said to them, Why have ye now returned?
6 Yo te di li: “Yon nonm te vin rankontre nou e te di nou: ‘Ale retounen kote wa ki te voye nou an e di li: “Konsa pale SENYÈ a: ‘Èske se akoz nanpwen Dye an Israël ke w ap voye mande a Baal-Zebub, dye a Ékron an? Pou sa, ou p ap desann Kabann kote ou fin monte a, men anverite, ou va mouri.’”’”
And they said to him, There came up a man to meet us, and said to us, Go, return to the king that sent you, and say to him, Thus saith the LORD, Is it not because there is not a God in Israel, that thou sendest to enquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron? therefore thou shalt not come down from that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die.
7 Li te di yo: “Ki kalite moun sa a ki te monte rankontre nou an pou te pale pawòl sila yo a nou?”
And he said to them, What manner of man was he who came up to meet you, and told you these words?
8 Yo te reponn li: “Yon nonm avèk anpil cheve ak yon sentiwon an kwi mare nan ren li.” Li te di: “Se Élie, Tichbit la.”
And they answered him, He was an hairy man, and girt with a leather belt about his loins. And he said, It is Elijah the Tishbite.
9 Konsa, wa a te voye kote li, yon kapitèn a senkant avèk senkant pa li yo. Li te monte kote li; men vwala, li te chita sou do ti mòn nan. Konsa, li te di li: “O nonm Bondye a, wa a di ou: ‘Desann.’”
Then the king sent to him a captain of fifty with his fifty. And he went up to him: and, behold, he sat on the top of an hill. And he spoke to him, Thou man of God, the king hath said, Come down.
10 Élie te reponn a kapitèn a senkant lan: “Si se yon nonm Bondye mwen ye, ke dife vin desann nan syèl la e manje ou menm avèk senkant pa ou yo.” Epi dife te desann soti nan syèl la e te manje li nèt avèk senkant pa li yo.
And Elijah answered and said to the captain of fifty, If I am a man of God, then let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And there came down fire from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty.
11 Konsa, li te voye kote li yon lòt kapitèn a senkant ansanm ak senkant pa li yo. Epi li te di li: “O nonm Bondye, konsa pale wa a: ‘Desann vit.’”
Again also he sent to him another captain of fifty with his fifty. And he answered and said to him, O man of God, thus hath the king said, Come down quickly.
12 Élie te reponn yo: “Si mwen se yon nonm Bondye, ke dife desann nan syèl la e manje ou avèk senkant pa ou yo.” Epi dife Bondye a te desann sòti nan syèl la e te manje li nèt avèk senkant pa l yo.
And Elijah answered and said to them, If I am a man of God, let fire come down from heaven, and consume thee and thy fifty. And the fire of God came down from heaven, and consumed him and his fifty.
13 Konsa, li te voye ankò kapitèn a senkant avèk senkant pa li yo. Lè twazyèm kapitèn nan te monte, li te vini e te bese ba sou jenou li devan Élie. Li te sipliye li e te mande li: “O nonm Bondye, souple kite lavi mwen avèk senkant sèvitè ou yo gade kòm presye nan zye ou.
And he sent again a captain of the third fifty with his fifty. And the third captain of fifty went up, and came and fell on his knees before Elijah, and besought him, and said to him, O man of God, I pray thee, let my life, and the life of these fifty thy servants, be precious in thy sight.
14 Gade byen, dife te desann soti nan syèl la e te manje premye de kapitèn a senkant yo avèk senkant pa yo. Men koulye a, kite lavi mwen parèt presye nan zye ou.”
Behold, there came fire down from heaven, and burnt up the two captains of the former fifties with their fifties: therefore let my life now be precious in thy sight.
15 Zanj SENYÈ a te di a Élie: “Ale desann avèk li. Pa pè li.” Pou sa, li te leve e te desann avèk li kote wa a.
And the angel of the LORD said to Elijah, Go down with him: be not afraid of him. And he arose, and went down with him to the king.
16 Epi li te di li: “Konsa pale SENYÈ a: ‘Akoz ou te voye mesaje yo pou mande a Baal-Zebub, dye a Ékron an—-èske se akoz nanpwen Dye an Israël pou mande pawòl Li? Pou sa, ou p ap desann kabann kote ou te monte a, men anverite, ou va mouri.’”
And he said to him, Thus saith the LORD, Forasmuch as thou hast sent messengers to enquire of Baalzebub the god of Ekron, is it not because there is no God in Israel to enquire of his word? therefore thou shalt not come down off that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die.
17 Konsa, Achazia te mouri selon pawòl SENYÈ a ke Élie te pale a. Epi akoz li pa t gen fis, Joram te devni wa nan plas li nan dezyèm ane a Joram, fis a Josaphat a, wa Juda a.
So he died according to the word of the LORD which Elijah had spoken. And Jehoram reigned in his stead in the second year of Jehoram the son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah; because he had no son.
18 Alò, tout lòt zèv ke Achazia te fè yo, èske yo pa ekri nan Liv Kwonik a Wa Israël yo?
Now the rest of the acts of Ahaziah which he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
