1 Kings 21
1 And after these things, Naboth the Jezrahelite, who was in Jezrahel, had at that time a vineyard near the palace of Achab king of Samaria.
Apre tout bagay sa yo, men sa ki rive: Nan lavil Jizreyèl, toupre palè wa Akab la, te gen yon jaden rezen ki te pou yon nonm yo te rele Nabòt.
2 And Achab spoke to Naboth, saying: Give me thy vineyard, that I may make me a garden of herbs, because it is nigh, and adjoining to my house, and I will give thee for it a better vineyard: or if thou think it more convenient for thee, I will give thee the worth of it in money.
Yon jou, wa Akab di Nabòt konsa: -Ban m' jaden rezen ou lan pou m' ka fè yon jaden legim. Li toupre kay mwen. m'a ba ou yon lòt jaden rezen ki pi bon pase sa a. Osinon si ou pito, m'a ba ou yon bon pri pou li.
3 Naboth answered him: The Lord be merciful to me, and not let me give thee the inheritance of my fathers.
Men, Nabòt reponn Akab: -Se tè eritaj li ye. Dapre lalwa Seyè a, mwen pa gen dwa vann ou li.
4 And Achab came into his house angry and fretting, because of the word that Naboth the Jezrahelite had spoken to him, saying: I will not give thee the inheritance of my fathers. And casting himself upon his bed, he turned away his face to the wall, and would eat no bread.
Akab al lakay li men li byen mare. Li te fache poutèt Nabòt te di l' li p'ap vann byen eritaj li a. Li moute kabann, li kouche, li bay figi l' nan panno, li derefize manje.
5 And Jezabel his wife went in to him, and said to him: What is the matter that thy soul is so grieved? and why eatest thou no bread?
Jezabèl, madanm li, vin bò kote l'. Li mande l': -Sa ou genyen ou move konsa? Poukisa ou pa manje?
6 And he answered her: I spoke to Naboth the Jezrahelite, and said to him: Give me thy vineyard, and take money for it: or if it please thee, I will give thee a better vineyard for it. And he said: I will not give thee my vineyard.
Akab reponn, li di li: -M' pale ak Nabòt, nonm Jizreyèl la. Mwen mande l' pou l' vann mwen jaden rezen l' lan, osinon si li pito, m'a ba li yon lòt pou li. Men, li di m' li p'ap ban mwen jaden l' lan.
7 Then Jezabel his wife said to him: Thou art of great authority indeed, and governest well the kingdom of Israel. Arise, and eat bread, and be of good cheer, I will give thee the vineyard of Naboth the Jezrahelite.
Jezabèl di li: -Kouman! Se pa ou ki wa nan peyi Izrayèl la ankò? Leve non, monchè! Manje manje ou, fè kè ou kontan. Mwen pral ba ou jaden rezen Nabòt la.
8 So she wrote letter’s in Achab’s name, and sealed them with his ring, and sent them to the ancients, and the chief men that were in his city, and that dwelt with Naboth.
Jezabèl ekri kèk lèt, li siyen non Akab anba yo, li sele yo ak so wa a, epi li voye yo bay chèf fanmi ak otorite ki rete lavil Jizreyèl menm kote ak Nabòt.
9 And this was the tenor of the letters: Proclaim a fast, and make Naboth sit among the chief of the people,
Men sa li voye di yo nan lèt yo: Sanble tout moun pou yon sèvis jèn. Mande Nabòt pou li dirije sèvis la.
10 And suborn two men, sons of Belial against him, and let them bear false witness: that he hath blasphemed God and the king: and then carry him out, and stone him, and so let him die.
Lèfini, jwenn de vakabon, fè yo vin kanpe devan l' pou yo akize l'. y'a di li derespekte Seyè a ansanm ak wa a. Lè sa a, n'a pran Nabòt, n'a trennen l' andeyò limit lavil la, n'a kalonnen l' wòch jouk li mouri.
11 And the men of his city, the ancients and nobles, that dwelt with him in the city, did as Jezabel had commanded them, and as it was written in the letters which she had sent to them:
Chèf fanmi yo ak otorite lavil Jizreyèl yo fè tou sa Jezabèl ba yo lòd fè nan lèt yo.
12 They proclaimed a fast, and made Naboth sit among the chief of the people.
Yo fè konnen yo pral fè sèvis jèn. Yo fè tout pèp la sanble, yo mete Nabòt devan pou dirije sèvis la.
13 And bringing two men, sons of the devil, they made them sit against him: and they, like men of the devil, bore witness against him before the people, saying: Naboth hath blasphemed God and the king: wherefore they brought him forth without the city, and stoned him to death.
De vakabon vin rive, yo kanpe devan Nabòt, yo akize msye devan tout pèp la. Yo di li derespekte Bondye ansanm ak wa a. Lamenm, yo pran Nabòt, yo mennen l' andeyò limit lavil la, yo kalonnen li wòch jouk li mouri.
14 And they sent to Jezabel, saying: Naboth is stoned, and is dead.
Apre sa, yo voye di Jezabèl: -Nou kalonnen Nabòt wòch, li mouri.
15 And it came to pass when Jezabel heard that Naboth was stoned, and dead, that she said to Achab: Arise and take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezrahelite, who would not agree with thee, and give it thee for money: for Naboth is not alive, but dead.
Resevwa Jezabèl resevwa nouvèl lanmò Nabòt, l' al di Akab: -Leve non. Al pran jaden rezen Nabòt, nonm lavil Jizreyèl la, pou ou, jaden li te refize vann ou an. Nabòt pa nan moun isit ankò, li mouri.
16 And when Achab heard this, to wit, that Naboth was dead, he arose, and went down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezrahelite, to take possession of it.
Lè wa Akab tande Nabòt, nonm lavil Jizreyèl la, te mouri, l' ale, li pran jaden rezen an pou li.
17 And the word of the Lord came to Elias the Thesbite, saying:
Lè sa a, Seyè a pale ak Eli, pwofèt lavil Tichbe a, li di l' konsa:
18 Arise, and go down to meet Achab king of Israel, who is in Samaria: behold he is going down to the vineyard of Naboth, to take possession of it:
-Al jwenn wa Akab nan peyi Samari. W'ap jwenn li koulye a nan jaden rezen Nabòt la. Li vin pran l' pou li.
19 And thou shalt speak to him, saying: Thus saith the Lord: Thou hast slain, moreover also thou hast taken possession. And after these words thou shalt add: Thus saith the Lord: In this place, wherein the dogs have licked the blood of Naboth, they shall lick thy blood also.
W'a di li men mesaj Seyè a voye ba li: Ou fin touye Nabòt, koulye a ou soti pou pran jaden rezen l' lan! Apre sa, w'a di l' ankò men sa Seyè a voye di ou: Menm kote chen te niche san Nabòt la, chen gen pou yo niche san pa ou tou.
20 And Achab said to Elias: Hast thou found me thy enemy? He said: I have found thee, because thou art sold, to do evil in the sight of the Lord.
Lè Akab wè Eli, li di l' konsa: -Enben, lènmi mwen, ou jwenn mwen jòdi a! Eli reponn, li di l': -Wè! Mwen jwenn ou paske se renk move bagay w'ap plede fè devan Seyè a.
21 Behold I will bring evil upon thee, and I will cut down thy posterity, and I will kill of Achab him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up, and the last in Israel.
Men mesaj Seyè a voye ba ou: M'ap voye yon gwo malè sou ou. Mwen pral disparèt ou. Mwen pral touye dènye gason, granmoun kou timoun, nan fanmi ou.
22 And I will make thy house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nabat, and like the house of Baasa the son of Ahias: for what thou hast done, to provoke me to anger, and for making Israel to sin.
Sa ki te rive fanmi wa Jewoboam, pitit Nebat la, ak fanmi wa Bacha, pitit Akija a, se sa ki pral rive fanmi pa ou la tou. Se mwen menm k'ap fè sa paske ou fè m' fache anpil, lèfini se ou ki lakòz pèp Izrayèl la ap fè sa ki mal.
23 And of Jezabel also the Lord spoke, saying: The dogs shall eat Jezabel in the field of Jezrahel.
Men sa Seyè a di sou Jezabèl: Chen gen pou manje kadav li nan mitan lavil Jizreyèl.
24 If Achab die in the city, the dogs shall eat him: but if he die in the field, the birds of the air shall eat him.
Chen pral manje kadav tout moun nan fanmi Akab ki va mouri anndan lavil la. Malfini karanklou va manje kadav tout moun nan fanmi an ki va mouri andeyò limit lavil la.
25 Now there was not such another as Achab, who was sold to do evil in the sight of the Lord: for his wife Jezabel set him on,
Pa janm gen pesonn mechan tankou Akab. Li te lage kò l' nèt nan fè sa ki mal devan Seyè a. Li te kite madanm li, Jezabèl, pran tèt li.
26 And he became abominable, insomuch that he followed the idols which the Amorrhites had made, whom the Lord destroyed before the face of the children of Israel.
Li te fè bagay ki lèd nèt, l' al fè sèvis pou vye zidòl tankou moun Amori yo te fè l' la. Se moun Amori sa yo Seyè a te mete deyò nan peyi a pou fè plas pou moun Izrayèl yo.
27 And when Achab had heard these words, he rent his garments, and put haircloth upon his flesh, and fasted and slept in sackcloth, and walked with his head cast down.
Lè Eli fin pale, Akab pran lapenn, li chire rad sou li, li mete yon rad sak, li rete san manje. Ata dòmi li dòmi ak rad sak la sou li. Li t'ap mache kagou.
28 And the word of the Lord came to Elias the Thesbite, saying:
Apre sa, Seyè a pale ak Eli, moun lavil Tichbe a, li di l' konsa:
29 Hast thou not seen Achab humbled before me? therefore, because he hath humbled himself for my sake, I will not bring the evil in his days, but in his son’s days will I bring the evil upon his house.
-Ou wè jan Akab vin dou nan pye m'! Paske li fè sa, m'ap tann li mouri anvan m' voye malè a sou fanmi li. Se va pandan rèy pitit gason l' lan m'a voye malè sou fanmi l'.
