< 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.
Elisha the prophet called one of the sons of the prophets, and said to him, "Put your belt on your waist, take this vial of oil in your hand, 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 come there, find Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi, and go in, and make him arise up from among his brothers, and carry 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 vial of oil, and pour it on his head, and say, 'Thus says Jehovah, "I have anointed you king over Israel."' Then open the door, flee, and do not wait."
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.”
When he came, look, the captains of the army were sitting. Then he said, "I have a message for you, captain." Jehu said, "To which of us all?" He said, "To you, O captain."
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.
He arose, and went into the house. Then he poured the oil on his head, and said to him, "Thus says Jehovah, the God of Israel, 'I have anointed you king over the people of Jehovah, even over 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.
You shall strike the house of Ahab your master, that I may avenge the blood of my servants the prophets, and the blood of all the servants of Jehovah, at 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.
For the whole house of Ahab shall perish. I will cut off from Ahab everyone who urinates against a wall, both him who is shut up and him who is left at large 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 house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the 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.
The dogs will eat Jezebel on the plot of ground of Jezreel, and there shall be none to bury her.'" 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 came forth to the servants of his lord: and one said to him, "Is all well? Why did this mad fellow come to you?" He said to them, "You know the man and what his talk was."
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”’”.
They said, "That is a lie. Tell us now." He said, "He said to me, 'Thus says Jehovah, I have anointed 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!”
Then they hurried, and took every man his garment, and put it under him on the top of the stairs, and blew the trumpet, saying, "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 Jehoshaphat the son of Nimshi conspired against Joram. (Now Joram was keeping Ramoth Gilead, he and all Israel, because of 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 was returned to be healed in Jezreel of the wounds which the Arameans had given him, when he fought with Hazael king of Aram.) Jehu said, "If this is your thinking, then let no one escape and go out of the city, to go to 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.
So Jehu rode in a chariot, and went to Jezreel; for Joram lay there. Ahaziah king of Judah had come down to see 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?’”
Now the watchman was standing on the tower in Jezreel, and he spied the company of Jehu as he came, and said, "I see a company." Joram said, "Take a horseman, and send to meet them, and let him say, 'Is it 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 there went one on horseback to meet him, and said, "Thus says the king, 'Is it peace?'" Jehu said, "What do you have to do with peace? Fall in behind me." The watchman said, "The messenger came to them, but he isn't 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.”
Then he sent out a second on horseback, who came to them, and said, "Thus says the king, 'Is it peace?'" Jehu answered, "What do you have to do with peace? 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.”
The watchman said, "He came to them, and isn't coming back. The driving is like the driving of Jehu the son of Nimshi; 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.
Joram said, "Get ready." They got his chariot ready. Joram king of Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah went out, each in his chariot, and they went out to meet Jehu, and found him in the portion 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?”
It happened, when Joram saw Jehu, that he said, "Is it peace, Jehu?" He answered, "What peace, so long as the prostitution of your mother Jezebel and her witchcraft abound?"
23 Alò, Joram te frennen cha a, tou vire e te sove ale. Li te pale Achazia: “Trayizon, O Achazia!”
Joram turned his hands, and fled, and said to Ahaziah, "There is treason, 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.
Jehu drew his bow with his full strength, and shot Joram between his arms; and the arrow went out at his heart, and he sunk 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:
Then Jehu said to Bidkar his captain, "Pick him up, and throw him in the plot of the field of Naboth the Jezreelite; for I remember how when you and I rode together behind Ahab his father, Jehovah pronounced this judgment on 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.”
'Surely I have seen yesterday the blood of Naboth, and the blood of his sons,' says Jehovah; 'and I will repay you in this plot of ground,' says Jehovah. Now therefore take and cast him onto the plot of ground, according to the word of Jehovah."
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 when Ahaziah the king of Judah saw this, he fled by the way of the garden house. Jehu followed after him, and said, "Shoot him also." And they shot him in the chariot at the ascent of Gur, which is by Ibleam. 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.
His servants carried him in a chariot to Jerusalem, and buried him in his tomb 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 Ahab began Ahaziah to reign 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.
When Jehu had come to Jezreel, Jezebel heard of it; and she painted her eyes, and attired her head, and looked out at the window.
31 Lè Jéhu te antre nan pòtay la, li menm Jézabel te di: “Èske tout bagay byen, Zimri, asasen mèt pa w la?”
As Jehu entered in at the gate, she said, "Do you come in peace, Zimri, you 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 lifted up his face to the window, and said, "Who is on my side? Who?" Two or three eunuchs looked out 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.
He said, "Throw her down." So they threw her down; and some of her blood was sprinkled on the wall, and on the horses. Then he trampled her under foot.
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.”
When he had come in, he ate and drink; and he said, "See now to this cursed woman, and bury her; for 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.
They went to bury her; but they found no more of her than the skull, and the 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,
Therefore they came back, and told him. He said, "This is the word of Jehovah, which he spoke by his servant Elijah the Tishbite, saying, 'The dogs will eat the flesh of Jezebel on the plot of Jezreel,
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 body of Jezebel shall be as dung on the face of the field in the portion of Jezreel, so that they shall not say, "This is Jezebel."'"
