1 Kings 14
1 At that time, Jeroboam’s son Abijah became very sick.
Lè sa a, Abija, pitit gason wa Jewoboram lan, tonbe malad.
2 Jeroboam said to his wife, “Disguise yourself, in order that no one will recognize that you are my wife. Then go to Shiloh [city], where the prophet Ahijah [lives]. He is the one who predicted/prophesied that I would become the king of Israel.
Jewoboram di madanm li: -Abiye ou yon jan pou pesonn pa rekonèt se madanm mwen ou ye, pati ale lavil Silo. Se la pwofèt Akija rete; se li ki te di m' mwen tapral gouvènen pèp Izrayèl la.
3 Take with you ten [loaves of] bread and some small flat cakes, and a jar of honey, [and give them] to him. [Tell him about] our son, [and] he will tell you what will happen to him.”
W'a pran dis pen, kèk gato ak yon bokal siwo myèl pou fè l' kado, ou v al lakay li. Sèten, l'a fè ou konnen sa ki pou rive pitit gason nou an.
4 So his wife went to Shiloh, to Ahijah’s house. Ahijah was unable to see, because he was very old and had become blind.
Se konsa madan Jewoboram ale lakay Akija lavil Silo. Akija te granmoun anpil, li pa t' wè nan je l' ankò.
5 But [before she got there, ] Yahweh told Ahijah that Jeroboam’s wife was coming to inquire about their son, who was very sick. And Yahweh told Ahijah what he should tell her. When she came to him, she pretended to be another woman.
Seyè a te fè Akija konnen madan Jewoboram ap vin wè li pou pitit gason l' lan ki malad. Li te di l': -Lè madan Jewoboram vini, l'ap fè tèt li pase pou yon lòt moun. Ou menm, w'a di l' sa m'a mete nan bouch ou pou di l'. Lè madan Jewoboram rive, li fè tèt li pase pou yon lòt moun vre.
6 But when Ahijah heard her footsteps as she entered the doorway, he said to her, “Come in, wife of Jeroboam! (Why do you pretend that you are someone else?/It will not help you to pretend that you are someone else.) [RHQ] [Yahweh] has given me bad news to tell you.
Men, lè Akija tande l' bri pye l' ap vini nan papòt la, li di l': -Antre non, madan Jewoboram. Poukisa w'ap fè tèt ou pase pou lòt moun konsa? Tout jan, mwen gen move nouvèl pou ou.
7 Go and tell Jeroboam that this is what Yahweh, the God whom we Israelis [worship], says to you: ‘I chose you from among the common people and enabled you to become the king of my Israeli people.
Ale di Jewoboram men sa Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la voye di l': Mwen te chwazi ou nan mitan pèp la, mwen mete ou chèf sou pèp mwen an, pèp Izrayèl la.
8 I took [most of] the kingdom of Israel away from David’s descendants and gave it to you. But you have not been like David, who served me [very well]. He obeyed all my commandments very sincerely, doing only things that I considered to be right.
Mwen wete baton kòmandman nan men moun fanmi David yo, mwen ba ou li. Men, ou pa t' tankou David. sèvitè m' lan, ki te toujou koute lòd mwen te ba li, ki te mache ak kè kontan nan chemen mwen te ba li, ki te fè sa ki pou fè m' plezi ase.
9 But you have done more evil things/deeds than all those [who ruled] before you. You have rejected me, and you have caused me to become very angry by making metal images of other gods so that you [and others] could worship them.
Ou fè pi mal pase sa ki te chèf anvan ou yo. Ou sèvi lòt bondye, ou fè estati an kwiv pou yo, ou voye m' jete, ou fè m' fache.
10 ‘So, I am going to cause terrible things to happen to your family. I will cause all your male descendants to die, young ones and old ones. I will completely get rid of your family [MTY]. I will get rid of your family [MTY] just like a man completely burns dung [to cook his food].
Se poutèt sa, Jewoboram, mwen pral fè malè tonbe sou fanmi ou. Mwen pral touye dènye gason nan fanmi ou, timoun kou granmoun. M'ap disparèt fanmi ou nèt nan peyi Izrayèl, y'ap bale yo voye jete tankou yo jete poupou.
11 [The corpses of] any members of your family who die in cities will be eaten by dogs. And [the corpses of] any members of your family who die in the open fields will be eaten by vultures. [This will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said [that it will happen].’
Chen pral manje kadav moun nan fanmi ou ki va mouri nan lavil. Malfini karanklou va manje kadav sa ki va mouri andeyò. Se Seyè a menm ki di sa.
12 So go back home. And as soon as you enter the city, your son will die.
Ou menm pou tèt pa ou, madan Jewoboram, leve non, tounen lakay ou. Rive w'a rive lavil la, pitit la ap mouri.
13 All the Israeli people will mourn for him and bury him. He is the only one of Jeroboam’s family who will be buried [properly], because he is the only one of Jeroboam’s family with whom Yahweh is pleased.
Tout moun peyi Izrayèl yo va pran lapenn pou li, y'a antere l'. Nan tout fanmi Jewoboram lan, se li menm ase y'ap antere paske, nan tout fanmi an, se li menm ase ki te yon ti jan bon nan je Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la.
14 Furthermore, Yahweh will appoint for himself a king to rule over Israel who will get rid of Jeroboam’s descendants. And that [will start to happen] today!
Seyè a pral mete yon lòt wa pou gouvènen pèp Izrayèl la. Se li menm ki pral disparèt fanmi Jewoboram lan. Se pou jòdi a wi sa m'ap di la a. Se pou koulye a menm.
15 Yahweh will punish the people of Israel; he will shake them like [the wind] shakes the reeds [that grow in] a stream. He will expel the Israeli people from this good land that he gave to our ancestors. He will scatter them into countries east of [the Euphrates] River, because they have caused him to become very angry by [worshiping statues of] the goddess Asherah.
Seyè a pral pini pèp Izrayèl la. Yo pral tranble tankou pye wozo k'ap tranble bò kouran dlo. Li pral dechouke pèp Izrayèl la nan bon peyi li te bay zansèt yo a, li pral gaye yo lòt bò larivyè Lefrat, paske yo fè Seyè a fache lè yo fè estati pou zidòl Astate a.
16 Yahweh will abandon the Israeli people because of the sins that Jeroboam committed, sins which led the Israeli people to commit them.”
Seyè a pral lage pèp Izrayèl la paske Jewoboram te fè anpil peche, lèfini li te pote pèp Izrayèl fè sa ki mal tou.
17 Jeroboam’s wife returned home to Tirzah [city, the new capital of Israel]. And just as she entered her house, her son died.
Madan Jewoboram pati, li tounen lavil Tisra. Lè li fè sa l'ap antre lakay li, pitit la mouri.
18 All the Israeli people mourned for him and buried him, which is what Yahweh had told his servant, the prophet Ahijah, would happen.
Moun pèp Izrayèl yo pran lapenn pou pitit la, yo antere l', jan Seyè a te di sa nan bouch pwofèt Akija a.
19 Everything else that Jeroboam did, and the record of wars that his [army] fought, and how he ruled, is written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Israel’.
Tout lòt bagay wa Jewoboram te fè yo, istwa lagè li te fè ak jan li te gouvènen peyi a, n'a jwenn tou sa ekri nan liv Istwa wa peyi Izrayèl yo.
20 Jeroboam ruled for 22 years; then he died [EUP] and his son Nadab became king.
Jewoboram te wa pandan venndezan. Lè li mouri, yo antere l'. Se Nadab, pitit gason l' lan, ki moute sou fotèy la nan plas li.
21 Solomon’s son Rehoboam ruled Judah. He was 41 years old when he started to rule, and he ruled for 17 years. He ruled in Jerusalem, which is the city that Yahweh chose out of all the tribes of Israel to be the place where he should be worshiped [MTY]. Rehoboam’s mother’s name was Naamah; she was from the Ammon people-group.
Woboram, pitit gason Salomon an, te gen karanteyennan lè li vin wa peyi Jida. Li gouvènen pandan disetan lavil Jerizalèm, lavil Seyè a te chwazi nan tout peyi Izrayèl la pou anplasman kote pou yo fè sèvis pou li a. Manman Woboram te moun lavil Amon. Li te rele Nama.
22 The people of Judah did things that Yahweh considered to be evil. They caused him to become angry because they committed more sins than their ancestors had committed: They worshiped many other gods instead of worshiping only Yahweh.
Moun peyi Jida yo fè sa ki mal nan je Seyè a. Yo fè pi mal pase zansèt yo. Se konsa yo te lakòz kolè Seyè a tonbe sou yo.
23 They built places to worship those gods; on high hills, and under big trees they set up [stone] pillars to worship the goddess Asherah.
Yo menm tou, yo bati kay pou fè sèvis pou zidòl, yo fè gwo moniman wòch ak estati pou Astate sou tèt mòn anba gwo pyebwa.
24 Also, there were male prostitutes at these places of worship. The Israeli people did the same disgraceful things that had been done by the people whom Yahweh had expelled while the Israelis were advancing through the land.
Sa ki pi rèd toujou, te gen fanm ak gason nan tout kote sa yo ap fè jennès nan sèvis pou zidòl. Moun peyi Jida yo te lage kò yo nan fè tout vye malpwòpte pèp Seyè a te mete deyò nan peyi a pou fè plas pou pèp Izrayèl la.
25 When Rehoboam had been ruling for almost five years, King Shishak of Egypt came [with his army] to attack Jerusalem.
Woboram te gen senkan depi li te wa lè Chichak, wa peyi Lejip la, atake lavil Jerizalèm.
26 They took away all the valuable things in the temple and in the king’s palace, including the gold shields that Solomon’s [workers] had made.
Li pran tout trezò ki te nan tanp lan ak nan palè wa a, ata gwo plak pwotèj an lò Salomon te fè fè yo.
27 King Rehoboam’s [workers] made bronze shields to replace them and entrusted them to officers who guarded the entrance to the king’s palace.
Wa Woboram fè fè gwo plak pwotèj an kwiv pou mete nan plas yo. Lèfini, li renmèt yo nan men chèf gad ki t'ap fè pòs nan pòtay kay wa a.
28 Every time that the king went into the temple, those guards carried those shields; and [when he left the temple] they returned the shields to the storeroom.
Chak fwa wa a t'ap antre nan Tanp lan, chèf gad yo pran gwo plak pwotèj yo pote yo vini. Lè l' ale, yo pote yo tounen nan sal gad la.
29 Everything else that Rehoboam did is written [RHQ] in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.
Tout lòt bagay wa Woboram te fè yo, n'a jwenn yo ekri nan liv Istwa wa peyi Jida yo.
30 There were wars continually between [the armies of] Rehoboam and Jeroboam.
Pandan tout tan sa a se te yon lagè san rete ant Woboram ak Jewoboran.
31 Then Rehoboam died [EUP], and he was buried in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’, where his ancestors were buried. Then his son Abijah became the king.
Lè Woboram mouri, yo antere l' nan tonm fanmi an nan lavil David la. Manman l' te rele Nama, se te moun lavil Amon. Se Abijam, pitit gason Woboram lan, ki moute sou fotèy la nan plas papa l'.
