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.
And Eliseus the prophet called one of the sons of the prophets, slid said to him: Gird up thy loins, and take this little bottle of oil in thy hand, and go to Ramoth Galaad.
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.
And when thou art come thither, thou shalt see Jehu the son of Josaphat the son of Namsi: and going in thou shalt make him rise up from amongst his brethren, and carry him into an inner chamber.
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 taking the little bottle of oil, thou shalt pour it on his head, and shalt say: Thus saith the Lord: I have anointed thee king over Israel. And thou shalt open the door and flee, and shalt not stay there.
4 Konsa, jennonm nan, sèvitè pwofèt la, te ale Ramoth-Galaad.
So the young man, the servant of the prophet, went awry to Ramoth Galaad,
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 went in thither: and behold the captains of the army were sitting: and he said: I have a word to thee, O prince. And Jehu said: Unto whom of us all? And he said: To thee, O prince.
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.
And he arose, and went into the chamber: and he poured the oil upon his head, and said: Thus saith the Lord God of Israel: I have anointed thee king over Israel, the people of the Lord.
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 thou shalt cut off the house of Achab thy master, and I will revenge the blood of my servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of the Lord at the hand of Jezabel.
8 ‘Paske tout lakay Achab va peri e Mwen va koupe retire sou Achab tout gason, ni esklav, ni lib an Israël.
And I will destroy all the house of Achab, and I will cut off from Achab him that pisseth against the well, and him that is shut up, and the meanest in Israel.
9 Mwen va fè lakay Achab vin tankou lakay Jéroboam, fis a Nebath la, e tankou lakay Basha, fis Achija a.
And I will make the house of Achab like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, and like the house of Baasa the son of Ahias.
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 the dogs shall eat Jezabel in the field of Jezrahel, and there shall be no one to bury her. And he opened the door and fled.
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.”
Then Jehu went forth to the servants of his lord: and they said to him: Are all things well? why came this mad man to thee? And he said to them: You know the man, and what he said.
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”’”.
But they answered: It is false, but rather do thou tell us. And he said to them: Thus and thus did he speak to me: and he said: Thus saith the Lord: I have anointed thee 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!”
Then they made haste and taking every man his garment laid it under his feet, after the manner of a judgment seat, and they sounded the trumpet, and said: 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.
So Jehu the son of Josaphat the son of Namsi conspired against Joram. Now Joram had besieged Ramoth Galaad, he and all Israel fighting with Hazael king of Syria:
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.”
And was returned to be healed in Jezrahel of his wounds, for the Syrians had wounded him, when he fought with Hazael king of Syria. And Jehu said: If it please you, let no mall go forth or flee out of the city, lest he go, and tell in Jezrahel.
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.
And he got up, and went into Jezrahel: for Joram was sick there, and Ochozias king of Juda was come down to visit Joram.
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?’”
The watchmen therefore, that stood upon the tower of Jezrahel, saw the troop of Jehu coming, and said: I see a troop. And Joram said: Take a chariot, and send to meet them, and let him that goeth say: Is all well?
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 there went one in a chariot to meet him, and said: Thus saith the king: Are all things peaceable? And Jehu said: What hast thou to do with peace? go behind and follow me. And the watchman told, saying: The messenger came to them, but he returneth not.
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.”
And he sent a second chariot of horses: and he came to them, and said: Thus saith the king: Is there peace? And Jehu said: What hast thou to do with peace? pass, and follow 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.”
And the watchman told, saying: He came even to them, but returneth not: and the driving is like the driving of Jehu the son of Namsi, for he drives furiously.
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.
And Joram said: Make ready the chariot. And they made ready his chariot, and Joram king of Israel, and Ochozias king of Juda went out, each in his chariot, and they went out to meet Jehu, and met him in the field of Naboth the Jezrahelite.
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?”
And when Joram saw Jehu, he said: Is there peace, Jehu? And he answered: What peace? so long as the fornications of Jezabel thy mother, and her many sorceries are in their vigour.
23 Alò, Joram te frennen cha a, tou vire e te sove ale. Li te pale Achazia: “Trayizon, O Achazia!”
And Joram turned his hand, and fleeing, said to Ochozias: There is treachery, Ochozias.
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.
But Jehu bent Iris bow with his hand, and shot Joram between the shoulders: and the arrow went out through his heart, and immediately he fell 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 Badacer his captain: Take him, and cast him into the field of Naboth the Jezrahelite: for I remember when I and thou sitting in a chariot followed Achab this man’s father, that the Lord laid this burden upon him, saying:
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.”
If I do not requite thee in this field, saith the Lord, for the blood of Naboth, and for the blood of his children, which I saw yesterday, saith the Lord. So now take him, and cast him into the field, according to the word of the Lord.
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.
But Ochozias king of Juda seeing this, fled by the way of the garden house: and Jehu pursued him, and said: Strike him also in his chariot. And they struck him in the going up to Gaver, which is by Jeblaam: and he fled into Mageddo, 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.
And his servants laid him upon his chariot, and carried him to Jerusalem: and they buried him in his sepulchre with his fathers 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 the son of Achab, Ochozias reigned over Juda,
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.
And Jehu came into Jezrahel. But Jezabel hearing of his coming in, painted her face with stibic stone, and adorned her head, and looked out of 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?”
At Jehu coming in at the gate, and said: Can there be peace for Zambri, that hath killed his 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.
And Jehu lifted up his face to the window, and said: Who is this? And two or three eunuchs bowed down to 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.
And he said to them: Throw her down headlong: and they threw her down, and the wall was sprinkled with her blood, and the hoofs of the horses trod upon her.
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.”
And when he was come in, to eat, and to drink, he said: Go, and see after that cursed woman, and bury her: because she is a king’s daughter.
35 Yo te ale antere l, men yo pa t jwenn plis ke zo tèt la, pye yo avèk pla men yo.
And when they went to bury her, they found nothing but the skull, and the feet, and the extremities 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,
And coming back they told him. And Jehu said: It is the word of the Lord, which he spoke by his servant Elias the Thesbite, saying: In the field of Jezrahel the dogs shall eat the flesh of Jezabel,
37 epi kadav Jézabel va tankou fimye bèt sou sifas chan nan teren Jizréel la, jiskaske yo pa ka di: “Sa se Jézabel.”’”
And the flesh of Jezabel shall be as dung upon the face of the earth in the field of Jezrahel, so that they who pass by shall say: Is this that same Jezabel?
