1 Kings 19
1 And Achab told Jezabel all that Elias had done, and how he had slain all the prophets with the sword.
Alò, Achab te di Jizréel tout sa ke Élie te fè ak jan li te touye tout pwofèt yo avèk nepe.
2 And Jezabel sent a messenger to Elias, saying: Such and such things may the gods do to me, and add still more, if by this hour tomorrow I make not thy life as the life of one of them.
Epi Jizréel te voye yon mesaje kote Élie. Li te di: “Konsa ke dye yo fè m sa e menm plis si mwen pa fè lavi ou tankou youn nan sa yo avan demen vè menm lè sa a.”
3 Then Elias was afraid, and rising up he went whithersoever he had a mind: and he came to Bersabee of Juda, and left his servant there,
Epi Élie te vin pè, e li te leve kouri pou sove lavi li. Li te rive nan Beer-Schéba, ki pou Juda a, e li te kite sèvitè li a la.
4 And he went forward, one day’s journey into the desert. And when he was there, and sat under a juniper tree, he requested for his soul that he might die, and said: It is enough for me, Lord, take away my soul: for I am no better than my fathers.
Men li menm te vwayaje pandan yon jou antre nan dezè a, pou l te rive chita anba yon bwa pikan. Konsa, li te fè demann pou l ta mouri e te di: “Sa se kont! Koulye a, O SENYÈ, pran lavi mwen; paske mwen pa pi bon ke zansèt mwen yo.”
5 And he cast himself down, and slept in the shadow of the juniper tree: and behold an angel of the Lord touched him, and said to him: Arise and eat.
Li te kouche dòmi anba bwa pikan an. Epi vwala, te gen yon zanj ki touche li. Li te di: “Leve, manje!”
6 He looked, and behold there was at his head a hearth cake, and a vessel of water: and he ate and drank, and he fell asleep again.
Li te gade, e vwala, te gen bò tèt li yon gato pen wòch cho, ak yon veso dlo. Konsa, li te manje, bwè e te kouche ankò.
7 And the angel of the Lord came again the second time, and touched him, and said to him: Arise, eat: for thou hast yet a great way to go.
Zanj Bondye a te vini ankò yon dezyèm fwa, li te touche li e te di: “Leve, manje, paske vwayaj la twò gran pou ou.”
8 And he arose, and ate, and drank, and walked in the strength of that food forty days and forty nights, unto the mount of God, Horeb.
Konsa, li te leve. Li te manje e bwè, epi li te ale ak fòs manje sa a pandan karant jou ak karant nwit pou rive Horeb, mòn Bondye a.
9 And when he was come thither, he abode in a cave: and behold the word of the Lord came unto him, and he said to him: What dost thou here, Elias?
Alò, li te rive la nan yon kav e li te rete ladann. Epi vwala, pawòl Bondye a te vini sou li, e Li te di li: “Kisa w ap fè isit la, Élie?”
10 And he answered: With zeal have I been zealous for the Lord God of hosts: for the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant: they have thrown down thy altars, they have slain thy prophets with the sword, and I alone am left, and they seek my life to take it away.
Li te di: “Mwen te tèlman ranpli avèk zèl pou SENYÈ a, Bondye dèzame yo, pwiske fis Israël yo te abandone akò Ou a, yo te dechire lotèl Ou yo, e te touye pwofèt Ou yo avèk nepe. Epi se mwen sèl ki rete, e y ap chache lavi m pou pran l.”
11 And he said to him: Go forth, and stand upon the mount before the Lord: and behold the Lord passeth, and a great and strong wind before the Lord over throwing the mountains, and breaking the rocks in pieces: the Lord is not in the wind, and after the wind an earthquake: the Lord is not in the earthquake.
Pou sa, Li te di: “Ale kanpe sou mòn nan devan SENYÈ a.” Epi veye byen, SENYÈ a t ap pase! Yon gwo van fò t ap boulvèse mòn yo e t ap chire wòch yo an mòso devan SENYÈ a. Men SENYÈ a pa t nan van an. Epi apre van an, yon tranbleman detè, men SENYÈ a pa t nan tranbleman detè a.
12 And after the earthquake a fire: the Lord is not in the fire, and after the fire a whistling of a gentle air.
Apre van an yon dife, men SENYÈ a pa t nan dife a. Epi apre dife a, yon ti bwi tankou yon souf lejè.
13 And when Elias heard it, he covered his face with his mantle, and coming forth stood in the entering in of the cave, and behold a voice unto him, saying: What dost thou here, Elias? And he answered:
Lè Élie te tande l, li te fin vlope figi li nan manto li a e li te ale deyò nan antre kav la. Epi vwala, yon vwa te parèt a li menm e te di: “Kisa w ap fè isit la, Élie?”
14 With zeal have I been zealous for the Lord God of hosts: because the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenant: they have destroyed thy altars, they have slain thy prophets with the sword, and I alone am left, and they seek my life to take it away.
Epi li te di: “Mwen te tèlman ranpli avèk zèl pou SENYÈ a, Bondye dèzame yo, paske fis Israël yo te abandone akò Ou a, dechire lotèl Ou yo e te touye pwofèt Ou yo avèk nepe. Epi se mwen sèl ki rete; epi y ap chache lavi mwen pou pran l.”
15 And the Lord said to him: Go, and return on thy way through the desert to Damascus: and when thou art come thither, thou shalt anoint Hazael to be king over Syria.
SENYÈ a te di li: “Ale, retounen sou chemen ou vè dezè Damas la, e lè ou fin rive, ou va onksyone Hazaël wa sou Syrie;
16 And thou shalt anoint Jehu the son of Namsi to be king over Israel: and Eliseus the son of Saphat, of Abelmeula, thou shalt anoint to be prophet in thy room.
epi Jéhu, fis Nimschi a, ou va onksyone wa sou Israël; epi Élisée, fis a Schaphath a nan Abel-Mehola a, ou va onksyone li kòm pwofèt nan plas ou.
17 And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall escape the sword of Hazael, shall be slain by Jehu: and whosoever shall escape the sword of Jehu, shall be slain by Eliseus.
Li va vin rive ke sila ki chape anba nepe Hazaël la, Jéhu va mete l a lanmò e sila ki chape anba nepe a Jéhu a, Élisée va mete l a lanmò.
18 And I will leave me seven thousand men in Israel, whose knees have not been bowed before Baal, and every mouth that hath not worshipped him kissing the hands.
Sepandan, Mwen va kite sèt-mil an Israël, tout jenou ki pa t bese a Baal e tout bouch ki pa t konn bo li.”
19 And Elias departing from thence, found Eliseus the son of Saphat, ploughing with twelve yoke of oxen: and he was one of them that were ploughing with twelve yoke of oxen: and when Elias came up to him, he cast his mantle upon him.
Konsa, li te kite la e te twouve Élisée, fis a Schaphath la, pandan li t ap raboure avèk douz pè bèf devan li, li menm avèk douzyèm nan. Epi Élie te pase bò kote li e te jete manto li sou li.
20 And he forthwith left the oxen and ran after Elias, and said: Let me, I pray thee, kiss my father and my mother, and then I will follow thee. And he said to him: Go, and return back: for that which was my part, I have done to thee.
Li te kite bèf yo e te kouri dèyè Élie. Li te di: “Souple, kite m bo papa m avèk manman m e mwen va swiv ou.” Epi li te di li: “Ale, retounen, paske kisa ke m te fè ou?”
21 And returning back from him, he took a yoke of oxen, and killed them, and boiled the flesh with the plough of the oxen, and gave to the people, and they ate: and rising up he went away, and followed Elias, and ministered to him.
Konsa, li te retounen soti swiv li, li te pran pè bèf la e li te fè sakrifis avèk yo, li te bouyi chè avèk dife fèt ak zouti bèf e li te bay a pèp la pou yo te manje. Epi li te leve, li te swiv Élie pou te sèvi li.
