2 Wa 10

1 Alò, Achab te gen swasann-dis fis Samarie. Epi Jéhu te ekri lèt pou te voye Samarie, kote chèf Jizréel yo, ansyen yo e vè gadyen pitit Achab yo, e te di:

Ahab had nowe seuentie sonnes in Samaria. And Iehu wrote letters, and sent to Samaria vnto the rulers of Izreel, and to the Elders, and to the bringers vp of Ahabs children, to this effect,

2 “Alò, lè lèt sa a rive kote ou, akoz fis a mèt ou yo avè w, menm jan avèk cha yo, cheval yo ak yon vil fòtifye avèk zam,

Nowe when this letter commeth to you, (for ye haue with you your masters sonnes, yee haue with you both charets and horses, and a defenced citie, and armour)

3 chwazi pi bon ak pi kapab pami fis a mèt ou yo, mete li sou twòn papa l, e batay pou lakay mèt ou.”

Consider therefore which of your masters sonnes is best and most meete, and set him on his fathers throne, and fight for your masters house.

4 Men yo te pè anpil. Yo te di: “Men gade, de wa sila yo pa t kanpe devan li! Alò, kijan nou kab kanpe?”

But they were exceedingly afraid, and saide, Behold two Kings coulde not stande before him, how shall we then stand?

5 Epi sila ki te sou tout kay la ak sila ki te sou vil la, ansyen yo ak gadyen zanfan yo, te voye kote Jéhu e te di: “Nou se sèvitè ou. Tout sa ou mande nou, nou va fè l. Nou p ap fè okenn moun wa. Fè sa ki bon nan zye ou.”

And he that was gouernour of Ahabs house, and he that ruled the citie, and the Elders, and the bringers vp of the children sent to Iehu, saying, We are thy seruants, and will doe all that thou shalt bid vs: we will make no King: do what seemeth good to thee.

6 Alò, li te ekri yon lèt yon dezyèm fwa. Li te di: “Si ou sou kote pa m, ou va koute vwa m, pran tèt a mesye yo, fis a mèt ou yo, e vin kote mwen Jizréel demen vè lè sa a.” Alò, fis a wa yo, swasann-dis moun, te avèk moun enpòtan ki nan vil yo ki t ap leve yo.

Then he wrote another letter to them, saying, If ye be mine, and wil obey my voyce, take the heads of ye men that are your masters sonnes, and come to me to Izreel by to morowe this time. (Nowe the Kings sonnes, euen seuentie persons were with the great men of the citie, which brought them vp)

7 Lè lèt la te rive kote yo, yo te pran fis a wa yo e te touye yo; swasann-dis moun, e te mete tèt pa yo nan panyen pou te voye yo kote li Jizréel.

And when the letter came to them, they tooke the Kings sonnes, and slewe the seuentie persons, and layde their heads in baskets, and sent them vnto him to Izreel.

8 Lè mesaje a te vin pale li, li te di: “Yo gen tan pote tèt a fis a wa yo.” Li te di yo: “Mete yo nan de pil nan antre pòtay la jis rive nan maten.”

Then there came a messenger and tolde him, saying, They haue brought the heads of the Kings sonnes. And he sayd, Let them lay them on two heapes at the entring in of the gate vntil the morning.

9 Alò, nan maten, li te ale deyò pou te kanpe pale a tout pèp la: “Nou inosan. Gade byen, mwen te fè konplo kont mèt mwen, e mwen te touye li. Men se kilès ki te touye tout sila yo?

And when it was day, he went out, and stood and sayd to all the people, Ye be righteous: behold, I conspired against my master, and slew him: but who slew all these?

10 Pou sa, konnen byen ke anyen p ap tonbe atè nan pawòl ke SENYÈ a te pale selon lakay Achab la, paske SENYÈ a te fè sa li te pale ak sèvitè li a, Élie.”

Knowe nowe that there shall fall vnto the earth nothing of the word of the Lord, which the Lord spake concerning the house of Ahab: for the Lord hath brought to passe the things that hee spake by his seruant Eliiah.

11 Konsa, Jéhu te touye tout sila ki te rete lakay Achab nan Jizréel yo ak tout moun pwisan pa li yo, avèk sila ki te konnen li yo, avèk prèt li yo, jiskaske pa t gen moun pa l vivan.

So Iehu slew al that remained of the house of Ahab in Izreel, and all that were great with him, and his familiars and his priestes, so that he let none of his remaine.

12 Epi li te leve sòti ale Samarie. Nan chemen an, pandan li te Beth-Eked ki te pou bèje yo,

And he arose, and departed and came to Samaria. And as Iehu was in the way by an house where the shepheards did shere,

13 Jéhu te rankontre fanmi a Achazia, wa Juda a. Li te mande: “Se kilès nou ye?” Yo te reponn: “Nou se fanmi a Achazia. Nou te vin desann pou salye fis a wa yo avèk fis a rèn nan.”

He met with the brethre of Ahaziah king of Iudah, and sayd, Who are ye? And they answered, We are the brethren of Ahaziah, and goe downe to salute the children of the King and the children of the Queene.

14 Li te di: “Pran yo vivan.” Konsa, yo te pran yo vivan e te touye yo nan fòs ki rele Beth-Eked la; karann-de mesye, e li pa t kite youn nan yo.

And he sayde, Take them aliue. And they tooke them aliue, and slew them at the well beside the house where the sheepe are shorne, euen two and fourtie men, and he left not one of them.

15 Alò, lè li te kite la, li te rankontre Jonadab, fis a Récab ki te vin rankontre li a. Li te salye li, e te di li: “Èske kè ou bon, jan kè m avèk kè ou a?” Jonadab te reponn: “Li konsa.” Jéhu te di: “Si li konsa, ban mwen men ou.” Epi li te pran li fè l monte nan cha li a.

And when he was departed thence, hee met with Iehonadab the sonne of Rechab comming to meete him, and he blessed him, and sayde to him, Is thine heart vpright, as mine heart is towarde thine? And Iehonadab answered, Yea, doubtlesse. Then giue me thine hande. And when he had giuen him his hande, he tooke him vp to him into the charet.

16 Li te di: “Vini avè m pou wè zèl mwen pou SENYÈ a.” Konsa, li te fè li ale nan cha li a.

And he sayde, Come with me, and see the zeale that I haue for the Lord: so they made him ride in his charet.

17 Lè li te rive Samarie, li te touye tout moun ki te rete pou Achab Samarie yo, jiskaske li te fin detwi li nèt, selon pawòl SENYÈ a te pale a Élie a.

And when he came to Samaria, he slew all that remained vnto Ahab in Samaria, till he had destroyed him, according to the worde of the Lord, which he spake to Eliiah.

18 Konsa, Jéhu te rasanble tout pèp la e li te pale yo: “Achab te sèvi Baal yon tikras; Jéhu va sèvi li anpil.

Then Iehu assembled all the people, and sayd vnto them, Ahab serued Baal a litle, but Iehu shall serue him much more.

19 Pou sa, voye fè parèt tout pwofèt a Baal yo, tout sila ki sèvi l avèk tout prèt li yo. Pa kite youn nan yo pa la. Paske mwen gen yon gran sakrifis pou Baal. Nenpòt moun ki pa la, p ap viv.” Men se avèk riz Jéhu te fè sa, jis pou li ta kapab detwi fidèl a Baal yo.

Now therefore call vnto me all ye prophets of Baal, all his seruants, and all his priests, and let not a man be lacking: for I haue a great sacrifice for Baal: whosoeuer is lacking, he shall not liue. But Iehu did it by a subtiltie to destroy ye seruats of Baal.

20 Jéhu te di: “Anonse yon fèt sen pou Baal.” Epi yo te anonse l.

And Iehu sayd, Proclaime a solemne assemblie for Baal. And they proclaimed it.

21 Konsa, Jéhu te voye toupatou an Israël e tout sèvitè a Baal yo te vini, jis pa t gen yon moun ki rete ki pa t vini. Lè yo te antre nan kay Baal la, kay Baal la te ranpli jis sòti nan yon pwent pou rive nan yon lòt pwent.

So Iehu sent vnto all Israel, and all the seruants of Baal came, and there was not a man left that came not. And they came into the house of Baal, and the house of Baal was full from ende to ende.

22 Li te di a sila ki te sou chaj vètman yo: “Mennen vètman yo deyò pou tout sèvitè Baal yo.” Konsa, li te mennen vètman yo deyò pou yo.

Then he said vnto him that had the charge of the vestrie, Bring forth vestments for al the seruants of Baal. And he brought the out vestments.

23 Jéhu te antre lakay Baal avèk Jonadab, fis a Récab la, epi li te di a sèvitè Baal yo: “Chache pou wè ke pa gen pami nou okenn nan sèvitè SENYÈ a; men sèlman sèvitè a Baal yo.”

And when Iehu went, and Iehonadab the sonne of Rechab into the house of Baal, he sayde vnto the seruants of Baal, Searche diligently, and looke, lest there be here with you any of the seruants of the Lord, but the seruants of Baal only.

24 Epi yo te antre ladann pou ofri sakrifis avèk ofrann brile. Alò, Jéhu te estasyone pou li, katre-ven òm deyò a, e li te di: “Sila ki kite nenpòt nan mesye yo ke m mennen nan men nou yo chape, li menm va bay lavi li an echanj.”

And when they went in to make sacrifice and burnt offering, Iehu appoynted foure score men without, and sayd, If any of the men whome I haue brought into your hands, escape, his soule shalbe for his soule.

25 Li te vin rive ke depi li te fin fè ofrann brile a, Jéhu te di a gad avèk ofisye wayal yo, “Antre ladann e touye yo! Pa kite pèsòn sòti!” Konsa, yo te touye yo avèk lam nepe, epi gad avèk ofisye wayal yo te jete yo deyò e te antre nan chanm enteryè nan kay Baal la.

And when hee had made an ende of the burnt offring, Iehu sayde to the garde, and to the captaines, Goe in, slay them, let not a man come out. And they smote them with the edge of the sworde. And the garde, and the captaines cast them out, and went vnto the citie, where was the temple of Baal.

26 Yo te pran pilye sakre lakay Baal yo e te mennen yo deyò pou te brile yo.

And they brought out the images of the temple of Baal, and burnt them.

27 Anplis, yo te kraze pilye sakre a Baal la, yo te kraze kay Baal la e te fè l tounen yon latrin jis rive jodi a.

And they destroyed the image of Baal, and threwe downe the house of Baal, and made a iakes of it vnto this day.

28 Konsa, Jéhu te rache Baal sòti an Israël.

So Iehu destroyed Baal out of Israel.

29 Men peche a Jéroboam yo, fis a Nebath la, avèk sila li te fè Israël peche a, depi sila yo, Jéhu pa t kite yo, menm jenn bèf an lò ki te Béthel e ki te Dan.

But from the sinnes of Ieroboam the sonne of Nebat which made Israel to sinne, Iehu departed not from them, neither from the golden calues that were in Beth-el and that were in Dan.

30 SENYÈ a te di a Jéhu: “Akoz ou te fè sa ki bon nan acheve sa ki bon nan zye m, e ou te fè a lakay Achab selon tout sa ki te nan kè M, fis ou yo jis rive nan katriyèm jenerasyon va chita sou twòn Israël la.”

And the Lord sayde vnto Iehu, Because thou hast diligently executed that which was right in mine eyes, and hast done vnto the house of Ahab according to all things that were in mine heart, therefore shall thy sonnes vnto the fourth generation sit on the throne of Israel.

31 Men Jéhu pa t fè atansyon mache avèk tout kè li nan lalwa SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la. Li pa t kite peche a Jéroboam yo, avèk sila li te fè Israël peche yo.

But Iehu regarded not to walke in the law of the Lord God of Israel with all his heart: for hee departed not from the sinnes of Ieroboam, which made Israel to sinne.

32 Nan jou sa yo, SENYÈ a te kòmanse koupe retire li nan peyi Israël la. Hazaël te bat yo toupatou nan teritwa Israël la,

In those dayes the Lord began to lothe Israel, and Hazael smote them in all the coastes of Israel,

33 soti nan Jourdain an pou ale vè lès, tout peyi Galaad la, Gadit yo, Ribenit yo ak Manasit yo, soti nan Aroër, ki akote vale Arnon an, menm Galaad avèk Basan.

From Iorden Eastward, euen all the land of Gilead, the Gadites, and the Reubenites, and them that were of Manasseh, from Aroer (which is by the riuer Arnon) and Gilead and Bashan.

34 Alò, tout lòt zèv a Jéhu yo ak tout sa li te fè avèk tout pwisans li, èske yo pa ekri nan Liv Kwonik a Wa Israël yo?

Concerning the rest of the actes of Iehu, and all that he did, and all his valiant deedes, are they not written in the booke of the Chronicles of the Kings of Israel?

35 Konsa, Jéhu te dòmi avèk zansèt li yo, e yo te antere li Samarie. Joachaz, fis li a, te devni wa nan plas li.

And Iehu slept with his fathers, and they buryed him in Samaria, and Iehoahaz his sonne reigned in his stead.

36 Alò, tan ke Jéhu te renye sou Israël Samarie a se te venn-tuitan.

And the time that Iehu reigned ouer Israel in Samaria is eight and twentie yeeres.
