2 Wa 9
1 Alò, Élisée, pwofèt la, te rele youn nan fis a pwofèt yo. Li te di li: “Mare senti ou e pran bokal lwil nan men ou pou monte Ramoth-Galaad.
Now Elisha the prophet summoned one of the sons of the prophets and said to him, “Tuck your cloak under your belt, take this flask of oil, and go to Ramoth-gilead.
2 Lè ou rive la, chache jwenn Jéhu, fis a Josaphat a, fis a Nimschi a. Antre ladann, mande li vin apa de frè li yo. Mennen li nan yon chanm anndan.
When you arrive, look for Jehu son of Jehoshaphat, the son of Nimshi. Go in, get him away from his companions, and take him to an inner room.
3 Konsa, pran bokal lwil la, vide li sou tèt li e di: ‘Konsa pale SENYÈ a; “Mwen te onksyone ou wa sou Israël.”’ Epi konsa, louvri pòt la, kouri sove ale! Pa tann!”
Then take the flask of oil, pour it on his head, and declare, ‘This is what the LORD says: I anoint you king over Israel.’ Then open the door and run. Do not delay!”
4 Konsa, jennonm nan, sèvitè pwofèt la, te ale Ramoth-Galaad.
So the young prophet went to Ramoth-gilead,
5 Lè l rive, men vwala, kapitèn a lame yo te chita. Li te di: “Mwen gen yon pawòl pou ou O kapitèn.” Jéhu te reponn: “Pou kilès nan nou?” Li te di: “Pou ou, O kapitèn.”
and when he arrived, the army commanders were sitting there. “I have a message for you, commander,” he said. “For which of us?” asked Jehu. “For you, commander,” he replied.
6 Li te leve pou antre nan kay la. Li te vide lwil sou tèt li e te di li: “Konsa pale SENYÈ a, Bondye Israël la, Mwen te onksyone ou Wa sou pèp SENYÈ a, sou Israël menm.
So Jehu got up and went into the house, where the young prophet poured the oil on his head and declared, “This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, says: ‘I anoint you king over the LORD’s people Israel.
7 Ou gen pou frape lakay Achab, mèt ou a, pou Mwen kapab fè revandikasyon san a sèvitè mwen yo, pwofèt yo ak san a tout sèvitè SENYÈ yo, pa men Jézabel.
And you are to strike down the house of your master Ahab, so that I may avenge the blood of My servants the prophets and the blood of all the servants of the LORD shed by the hand of Jezebel.
8 ‘Paske tout lakay Achab va peri e Mwen va koupe retire sou Achab tout gason, ni esklav, ni lib an Israël.
The whole house of Ahab will perish, and I will cut off from Ahab every male, both slave and free, in Israel.
9 Mwen va fè lakay Achab vin tankou lakay Jéroboam, fis a Nebath la, e tankou lakay Basha, fis Achija a.
I will make the house of Ahab like the houses of Jeroboam son of Nebat and Baasha son of Ahijah.
10 Chen ap manje Jézabel nan teritwa Jizréel la, e nanpwen moun k ap antere li.’” Konsa, li te ouvri pòt la e te sove ale.
And on the plot of ground at Jezreel the dogs will devour Jezebel, and there will be no one to bury her.’” Then the young prophet opened the door and ran.
11 Alò Jéhu te sòti deyò kote sèvitè mèt li yo. Youn nan yo te mande l: “Èske tout bagay byen? Poukisa nonm fou sila a te vin kote ou a?” Li te reponn yo: “Ou konnen nonm sila a avèk tout sa li pale yo.”
When Jehu went out to the servants of his master, they asked, “Is everything all right? Why did this madman come to you?” “You know his kind and their babble,” he replied.
12 Yo te di: “Sa se manti. Pale nou koulye a.” Li te di: “Li te di m, ‘Konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Mwen te onksyone ou wa sou Israël”’”.
“That is a lie!” they said. “Tell us now!” So Jehu answered, “He talked to me about this and that, and he said, ‘This is what the LORD says: I anoint you king over Israel.’”
13 Konsa, yo te fè vit, chak moun te pran vètman pa yo, te plase yo anba li sou mach la. Yo te soufle twonpèt la e yo t ap di: “Jéhu se wa a!”
Quickly, each man took his garment and put it under Jehu on the bare steps. Then they blew the ram’s horn and proclaimed, “Jehu is king!”
14 Konsa Jéhu, fis a Josaphat a, fis a Nimschi a, te fè konplo kont Joram. Alò, Joram avèk tout Israël t ap defann Ramoth-Galaad kont Hazaël, wa Syrie a.
Thus Jehu son of Jehoshaphat, the son of Nimshi, conspired against Joram. (Now Joram and all Israel had been defending Ramoth-gilead against Hazael king of Aram,
15 Men Wa Joram te fin retounen a Jizréel pou geri akoz blesi ke Siryen yo te ba li lè li te goumen avèk Hazaël, wa Syrie a. Konsa, Jéhu te di: “Si sa se volonte ou, pa kite pèsòn chape kite vil la pou ale pale Jizréel.”
but King Joram had returned to Jezreel to recover from the wounds he had suffered at the hands of the Arameans in the battle against Hazael their king.) So Jehu said, “If you commanders wish to make me king, then do not let anyone escape from the city to go and tell it in Jezreel.”
16 Alò, Jéhu te monte yon cha pou te ale Jizréel, paske Joram te kouche la. Achazia, wa Juda a, te deja desann pou wè Joram.
Then Jehu got into his chariot and went to Jezreel, because Joram was laid up there and Ahaziah king of Judah had gone down to see him.
17 Koulye a, gadyen an te kanpe sou fò Jizréel, e li te wè konpanyen Jéhu, pandan li t ap vini. Li te di: “Mwen wè yon konpanyen.” Joram te di: “Pran yon chevalye, voye li rankontre yo e kite li di: ‘Èske sa an pè?’”
Now the watchman standing on the tower in Jezreel saw Jehu’s troops approaching, and he called out, “I see a company of troops!” “Choose a rider,” Joram commanded. “Send him out to meet them and ask, ‘Have you come in peace?’”
18 Konsa, yon chevalye te ale rankontre li. Li te di: “Konsa pale wa a: ‘Èske sa an pè?’” Jéhu te reponn: “Kisa ou gen pou fè avèk lapè? Vire dèyè mwen.” Konsa, gadyen an te bay rapò a. “Mesaje a te rive kote yo, men li pa t retounen.”
So a horseman rode off to meet Jehu and said, “This is what the king asks: ‘Have you come in peace?’” “What do you know about peace?” Jehu replied. “Fall in behind me.” And the watchman reported, “The messenger reached them, but he is not coming back.”
19 Li te voye yon dezyèm chevalye, ki te rive kote yo. Li te di: “Konsa pale wa a: ‘Èske sa an pè?’” Jéhu te reponn: “Kisa ou gen pou fè avèk lapè? Vire dèyè mwen.”
So the king sent out a second horseman, who went to them and said, “This is what the king asks: ‘Have you come in peace?’” “What do you know about peace?” Jehu replied. “Fall in behind me.”
20 Gadyen an te bay rapò a: “Lè te rive kote yo menm, men li pa t retounen, epi kondwi li se tankou kondwi a Jéhu, paske li kondwi tankou moun anraje.”
Again the watchman reported, “He reached them, but he is not coming back. And the charioteer is driving like Jehu son of Nimshi —he is driving like a madman!”
21 Konsa, Joram te di: “Fè cha a vin parèt.” Epi yo te prepare cha li a. Joram, wa Israël la, avèk Achazia, wa Juda a te sòti yo chak nan cha pa yo, yo te ale rankontre Jéhu, e yo te twouve li sou tèren Naboth la, Jizreyelit la.
“Harness!” Joram shouted, and they harnessed his chariot. Then Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah set out, each in his own chariot, and met Jehu on the property of Naboth the Jezreelite.
22 Lè Joram te wè Jéhu, li te di: “Èske sa an pè, Jéhu?” Epi li te reponn: “Ki lapè sa a, kòmsi zak pwostitiye manman ou Jézabel avèk vye maji pa li yo tèlman anpil?”
When Joram saw Jehu, he asked, “Have you come in peace, Jehu?” “How can there be peace,” he replied, “as long as the idolatry and witchcraft of your mother Jezebel abound?”
23 Alò, Joram te frennen cha a, tou vire e te sove ale. Li te pale Achazia: “Trayizon, O Achazia!”
Joram turned around and fled, calling out to Ahaziah, “Treachery, Ahaziah!”
24 Konsa, Jéhu te rale banza li ak tout fòs e te tire Joram antre bwa li. Flèch la te pase nan kè l e li te bese desann nan cha li.
Then Jehu drew his bow and shot Joram between the shoulders. The arrow pierced his heart, and he slumped down in his chariot.
25 Alò, Jéhu te pale ak Bidqar, adjwen li an: “Pran l e jete l nan chan Naboth la, Jizreyelit la, paske mwen sonje lè ou avèk mwen te monte kouri ansanm dèyè Achab, papa li, ke SENYÈ a te pwononse pawòl sa a kont li:
And Jehu said to Bidkar his officer, “Pick him up and throw him into the field of Naboth the Jezreelite. For remember that when you and I were riding together behind his father Ahab, the LORD lifted up this burden against him:
26 ‘Anverite, Mwen te wè ayè, san Naboth la ak san a fis li yo,’ pale SENYÈ a, ‘epi, Mwen va rekonpanse ou nan teren sa a’, pale SENYÈ a. Alò, pou sa, pran l e jete l nan teren an, selon pawòl SENYÈ a.”
‘As surely as I saw the blood of Naboth and the blood of his sons yesterday, declares the LORD, so will I repay you on this plot of ground, declares the LORD.’ Now then, according to the word of the LORD, pick him up and throw him on the plot of ground.”
27 Lè Achazia, wa Juda a te wè li, li te sove ale pa chemen kay jaden an. Epi Jéhu te kouri dèyè li e te di: “Tire li tou, nan cha a.” Konsa, li te fèt sou ti pant Gur a, ki Jibleam nan. Men li te sove ale rive Méguiddo, e la li te mouri.
When King Ahaziah of Judah saw this, he fled up the road toward Beth-haggan. And Jehu pursued him, shouting, “Shoot him too!” So they shot Ahaziah in his chariot on the Ascent of Gur, near Ibleam, and he fled to Megiddo and died there.
28 Sèvitè li yo te pote li nan yon cha rive Jérusalem e yo te antere li nan tonm pa li avèk zansèt li yo nan vil David la.
Then his servants carried him by chariot to Jerusalem and buried him with his fathers in his tomb in the City of David.
29 Alò, nan onzyèm ane règn Joram la, fis Achab la, Achazia te devni wa sou Juda.
(In the eleventh year of Joram son of Ahab, Ahaziah had become king over Judah.)
30 Lè Jéhu te vini Jizréel, Jézabel te tande sa. Li te pentire zye li, li te byen dekore tèt li e li te gade deyò fenèt la.
Now when Jehu arrived in Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it. So she painted her eyes, adorned her head, and looked down from a window.
31 Lè Jéhu te antre nan pòtay la, li menm Jézabel te di: “Èske tout bagay byen, Zimri, asasen mèt pa w la?”
And as Jehu entered the gate, she asked, “Have you come in peace, O Zimri, murderer of your master?”
32 Jéhu te leve figi li vè fenèt la e te di: “Se kilès ki pou mwen? Kilès?” Konsa, de oswa twa linik ren nan te gade anba kote li.
He looked up at the window and called out, “Who is on my side? Who?” And two or three eunuchs looked down at him.
33 Li te di: “Jete li anba.” Konsa, yo te jete li anba e kèk nan san li te vòltije jis sou miray la ak sou cheval yo, epi li te foule anba pye yo.
“Throw her down!” yelled Jehu. So they threw her down, and her blood splattered on the wall and on the horses as they trampled her underfoot.
34 Lè Jéhu te antre, li te manje e bwè. Konsa, li te di: “Okipe koulye a de fanm modi sila a e antere li; paske se fi a wa a ke li ye.”
Then Jehu went in and ate and drank. “Take care of this cursed woman,” he said, “and bury her, for she was the daughter of a king.”
35 Yo te ale antere l, men yo pa t jwenn plis ke zo tèt la, pye yo avèk pla men yo.
But when they went out to bury her, they found nothing but her skull, her feet, and the palms of her hands.
36 Pou sa, yo te retounen pou te pale li. Konsa, li te di: “Sa se pawòl SENYÈ a, ke Li te pale pa sèvitè li, Élie, Tichbit la. Li te di: ‘Nan teren Jizréel la, chen yo va manje chè Jézabel,
So they went back and told Jehu, who replied, “This is the word of the LORD, which He spoke through His servant Elijah the Tishbite: ‘On the plot of ground at Jezreel the dogs will devour the flesh of Jezebel.
37 epi kadav Jézabel va tankou fimye bèt sou sifas chan nan teren Jizréel la, jiskaske yo pa ka di: “Sa se Jézabel.”’”
And Jezebel’s body will lie like dung in the field on the plot of ground at Jezreel, so that no one can say: This is Jezebel.’”
