< 2 Wa 1 >
1 Lè Achab te fin mouri, Moab te fè rebelyon kont Israël.
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.”
Then Ahaziah fell down through the lattice in his upper chamber in Samaria, and was injured. So he sent for messengers and said to them, “Go, ask Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron, whether I will recover from this injury.”
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 Yahweh said to Elijah the Tishbite, “Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and ask them, 'Is it because there is no God in Israel that you are going to consult with Baal-Zebub, 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.
Therefore Yahweh says, “You will not come down from the bed to where you have gone up; instead, you will certainly die.”'” Then Elijah left.
5 Lè mesaje yo te retounen bò kote li, li te di yo: “Se poukisa ke nou tounen an?”
When the messengers returned to Ahaziah, he said to them, “Why have you 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.’”’”
They said to him, “A man came to meet us who said to us, 'Go back to the king who sent you, and say to him, “Yahweh says this: 'Is it because there is no God in Israel that you sent men to consult with Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron? Therefore you will not come down from the bed to which you have gone up; instead, you will certainly 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?”
Ahaziah said to his messengers, “What sort of man was he, the one who came up to meet you and said these words to you?”
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.”
They answered him, “He wore a garment made of hair and had a leather belt wrapped around his waist.” So the king replied, “That 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 a captain with fifty soldiers to Elijah. The captain went up to Elijah where he was sitting on the top of a hill. The captain spoke to him, “You, man of God, the king has 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.
Elijah answered and said to the captain, “If I am a man of God, let fire come down from heaven and consume you and your fifty men.” Then fire came down from heaven and consumed him and his fifty men.
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 King Ahaziah sent to Elijah another captain with fifty soldiers. This captain also said to Elijah, “You, man of God, the king says, '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.
Elijah answered and said to them, “If I am a man of God, let fire come down from heaven and consume you and your fifty men.” Again the fire of God came down from heaven and consumed him and his fifty men.
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.
Yet again the king sent a third group of fifty warriors. This captain went up, fell on his knees before Elijah, and implored him and said to him, “You, man of God, I ask you, let my life and the life of these fifty servants of yours be precious in your 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.”
Indeed, fire came down from heaven and consumed the first two captains with their men, but now let my life be precious in your 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.
The angel of Yahweh said to Elijah, “Go down with him. Do not be afraid of him.” So Elijah 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.’”
Later Elijah said to Ahaziah, “This is what Yahweh says, 'You have sent messengers to consult with Baal-Zebub, the god of Ekron. Is it because there is no God in Israel from whom you can ask for information? So now, you will not come down from the bed where you have gone up; you will certainly 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 King Ahaziah died according to the word of Yahweh that Elijah had spoken. Joram began to reign in his place, in the second year of Jehoram son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, because Ahaziah had no son.
18 Alò, tout lòt zèv ke Achazia te fè yo, èske yo pa ekri nan Liv Kwonik a Wa Israël yo?
As for the other matters concerning Ahaziah, are they not written in the book of the events of the kings of Israel?
