< 2 Kings 10 >

1 Now Ahab had seventy sons in Samaria. Jehu wrote letters and sent them to Samaria, to the rulers of Jezreel, even the elders, and to those who brought up Ahab’s sons, saying,
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:
2 “Now as soon as this letter comes to you, since your master’s sons are with you, and you have chariots and horses, a fortified city also, and armor,
“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,
3 select the best and fittest of your master’s sons, set him on his father’s throne, and fight for your master’s house.”
chwazi pi bon ak pi kapab pami fis a mèt ou yo, mete li sou twòn papa l, e batay pou lakay mèt ou.”
4 But they were exceedingly afraid, and said, “Behold, the two kings didn’t stand before him! How then shall we stand?”
Men yo te pè anpil. Yo te di: “Men gade, de wa sila yo pa t kanpe devan li! Alò, kijan nou kab kanpe?”
5 He who was over the household, and he who was over the city, the elders also, and those who raised the children, sent to Jehu, saying, “We are your servants, and will do all that you ask us. We will not make any man king. You do that which is good in your eyes.”
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.”
6 Then he wrote a letter the second time to them, saying, “If you are on my side, and if you will listen to my voice, take the heads of the men who are your master’s sons, and come to me to Jezreel by tomorrow this time.” Now the king’s sons, being seventy persons, were with the great men of the city, who brought them up.
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.
7 When the letter came to them, they took the king’s sons and killed them, even seventy people, and put their heads in baskets, and sent them to him to Jezreel.
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.
8 A messenger came and told him, “They have brought the heads of the king’s sons.” He said, “Lay them in two heaps at the entrance of the gate until the morning.”
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.”
9 In the morning, he went out and stood, and said to all the people, “You are righteous. Behold, I conspired against my master and killed him, but who killed all these?
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?
10 Know now that nothing will fall to the earth of Yahweh’s word, which Yahweh spoke concerning Ahab’s house. For Yahweh has done that which he spoke by his servant Elijah.”
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.”
11 So Jehu struck all that remained of Ahab’s house in Jezreel, with all his great men, his familiar friends, and his priests, until he left him no one remaining.
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.
12 He arose and departed, and went to Samaria. As he was at the shearing house of the shepherds on the way,
Epi li te leve sòti ale Samarie. Nan chemen an, pandan li te Beth-Eked ki te pou bèje yo,
13 Jehu met with the brothers of Ahaziah king of Judah, and said, “Who are you?” They answered, “We are the brothers of Ahaziah. We are going down to greet the children of the king and the children of the queen.”
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.”
14 He said, “Take them alive!” They took them alive, and killed them at the pit of the shearing house, even forty-two men. He didn’t leave any of them.
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.
15 When he had departed from there, he met Jehonadab the son of Rechab coming to meet him. He greeted him, and said to him, “Is your heart right, as my heart is with your heart?” Jehonadab answered, “It is.” “If it is, give me your hand.” He gave him his hand; and he took him up to him into the chariot.
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.
16 He said, “Come with me, and see my zeal for Yahweh.” So they made him ride in his chariot.
Li te di: “Vini avè m pou wè zèl mwen pou SENYÈ a.” Konsa, li te fè li ale nan cha li a.
17 When he came to Samaria, he struck all who remained to Ahab in Samaria, until he had destroyed them, according to Yahweh’s word which he spoke to Elijah.
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.
18 Jehu gathered all the people together, and said to them, “Ahab served Baal a little, but Jehu will serve him much.
Konsa, Jéhu te rasanble tout pèp la e li te pale yo: “Achab te sèvi Baal yon tikras; Jéhu va sèvi li anpil.
19 Now therefore call to me all the prophets of Baal, all of his worshipers, and all of his priests. Let no one be absent, for I have a great sacrifice to Baal. Whoever is absent, he shall not live.” But Jehu did deceptively, intending to destroy the worshipers of Baal.
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.
20 Jehu said, “Sanctify a solemn assembly for Baal!” So they proclaimed it.
Jéhu te di: “Anonse yon fèt sen pou Baal.” Epi yo te anonse l.
21 Jehu sent through all Israel; and all the worshipers of Baal came, so that there was not a man left that didn’t come. They came into the house of Baal; and the house of Baal was filled from one end to another.
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.
22 He said to him who kept the wardrobe, “Bring out robes for all the worshipers of Baal!” So he brought robes out to them.
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.
23 Jehu went with Jehonadab the son of Rechab into the house of Baal. Then he said to the worshipers of Baal, “Search, and see that none of the servants of Yahweh are here with you, but only the worshipers of Baal.”
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.”
24 So they went in to offer sacrifices and burnt offerings. Now Jehu had appointed for himself eighty men outside, and said, “If any of the men whom I bring into your hands escape, he who lets him go, his life shall be for the life of him.”
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.”
25 As soon as he had finished offering the burnt offering, Jehu said to the guard and to the captains, “Go in and kill them! Let no one escape.” So they struck them with the edge of the sword. The guard and the captains threw the bodies out, and went to the inner shrine of the house of Baal.
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.
26 They brought out the pillars that were in the house of Baal and burned them.
Yo te pran pilye sakre lakay Baal yo e te mennen yo deyò pou te brile yo.
27 They broke down the pillar of Baal, and broke down the house of Baal, and made it a latrine, to this day.
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.
28 Thus Jehu destroyed Baal out of Israel.
Konsa, Jéhu te rache Baal sòti an Israël.
29 However, Jehu didn’t depart from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, with which he made Israel to sin—the golden calves that were in Bethel and that were in Dan.
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.
30 Yahweh said to Jehu, “Because you have done well in executing that which is right in my eyes, and have done to Ahab’s house according to all that was in my heart, your descendants shall sit on the throne of Israel to the fourth generation.”
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.”
31 But Jehu took no heed to walk in the law of Yahweh, the God of Israel, with all his heart. He didn’t depart from the sins of Jeroboam, with which he made Israel to sin.
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.
32 In those days Yahweh began to cut away parts of Israel; and Hazael struck them in all the borders of Israel
Nan jou sa yo, SENYÈ a te kòmanse koupe retire li nan peyi Israël la. Hazaël te bat yo toupatou nan teritwa Israël la,
33 from the Jordan eastward, all the land of Gilead, the Gadites, and the Reubenites, and the Manassites, from Aroer, which is by the valley of the Arnon, even Gilead and Bashan.
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.
34 Now the rest of the acts of Jehu, and all that he did, and all his might, aren’t they written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
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?
35 Jehu slept with his fathers; and they buried him in Samaria. Jehoahaz his son reigned in his place.
Konsa, Jéhu te dòmi avèk zansèt li yo, e yo te antere li Samarie. Joachaz, fis li a, te devni wa nan plas li.
36 The time that Jehu reigned over Israel in Samaria was twenty-eight years.
Alò, tan ke Jéhu te renye sou Israël Samarie a se te venn-tuitan.
