1 Wa 14
1 Lè sa a, Abija, pitit gason wa Jewoboram lan, tonbe malad.
At that time Abijah the son of Jeroboam fell sick.
2 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.
And Jeroboam said to his wife, Arise, I pray thee, and disguise thyself that thou not be known to be the wife of Jeroboam, and get thee to Shiloh. Behold, there is Ahijah the prophet who spoke concerning me that I should be king over this people.
3 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.
And take with thee ten loaves, and cakes, and a cruse of honey, and go to him. He will tell thee what shall become of the child.
4 Se konsa madan Jewoboram ale lakay Akija lavil Silo. Akija te granmoun anpil, li pa t' wè nan je l' ankò.
And Jeroboam's wife did so, and arose, and went to Shiloh, and came to the house of Ahijah. Now Ahijah could not see, for his eyes were set because of his age.
5 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.
And Jehovah said to Ahijah, Behold, the wife of Jeroboam comes to inquire of thee concerning her son, for he is sick. Thus and thus thou shall say to her, for it will be, when she comes in, that she will feign herself to be another woman.
6 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.
And it was so, when Ahijah heard the sound of her feet, as she came in at the door, that he said, Come in, thou wife of Jeroboam. Why feign thou thyself to be another? For I am sent to thee with heavy news.
7 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.
Go, tell Jeroboam, Thus says Jehovah, the God of Israel: Forasmuch as I exalted thee from among the people, and made thee prince over my people Israel,
8 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.
and tore the kingdom away from the house of David, and gave it thee, and yet thou have not been as my servant David, who kept my commandments, and who followed me with all his heart to do only that which was right in my eyes,
9 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.
but have done evil above all who were before thee, and have gone and made thee other gods, and molten images to provoke me to anger, and have cast me behind thy back,
10 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.
therefore, behold, I will bring evil upon the house of Jeroboam, and will cut off from Jeroboam every man-child, he who is shut up and he who is left at large in Israel, and will utterly sweep away the house of Jeroboam as a man sweeps away dung, till it be all gone.
11 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.
He who dies of Jeroboam in the city shall the dogs eat, and he who dies in the field shall the birds of the heavens eat, for Jehovah has spoken it.
12 Ou menm pou tèt pa ou, madan Jewoboram, leve non, tounen lakay ou. Rive w'a rive lavil la, pitit la ap mouri.
Arise thou therefore, get thee to thy house. When thy feet enter into the city, the child shall die.
13 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.
And all Israel shall mourn for him, and bury him, for he only of Jeroboam shall come to the grave, because in him there is found some good thing toward Jehovah, the God of Israel, in the house of Jeroboam.
14 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.
Moreover Jehovah will raise up a king for him over Israel who shall cut off the house of Jeroboam that day. But what? Even now.
15 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.
For Jehovah will smite Israel as a reed is shaken in the water. And he will root up Israel out of this good land which he gave to their fathers, and will scatter them beyond the River because they have made their Asherim, provoking Jehovah to anger.
16 Seyè a pral lage pèp Izrayèl la paske Jewoboram te fè anpil peche, lèfini li te pote pèp Izrayèl fè sa ki mal tou.
And he will give Israel up because of the sins of Jeroboam, which he has sinned, and with which he has made Israel to sin.
17 Madan Jewoboram pati, li tounen lavil Tisra. Lè li fè sa l'ap antre lakay li, pitit la mouri.
And Jeroboam's wife arose, and departed, and came to Tirzah. As she came to the threshold of the house, the child died.
18 Moun pèp Izrayèl yo pran lapenn pou pitit la, yo antere l', jan Seyè a te di sa nan bouch pwofèt Akija a.
And all Israel buried him, and mourned for him, according to the word of Jehovah, which he spoke by his servant Ahijah the prophet.
19 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.
And the rest of the acts of Jeroboam, how he warred, and how he reigned, behold, they are written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel.
20 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.
And the days which Jeroboam reigned were twenty-two years, and he slept with his fathers. And Nadab his son reigned in his stead.
21 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.
And Rehoboam the son of Solomon reigned in Judah. Rehoboam was forty-one years old when he began to reign, and he reigned seventeen years in Jerusalem, the city which Jehovah had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel to put his name there. And his mother's name was Naamah the Ammonitess.
22 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.
And Judah did that which was evil in the sight of Jehovah, and they provoked him to jealousy with their sins which they committed, above all that their fathers had done.
23 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.
For they also built for them high places, and pillars, and Asherim, on every high hill, and under every green tree.
24 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.
And there were also sodomites in the land. They did according to all the abominations of the nations which Jehovah drove out before the sons of Israel.
25 Woboram te gen senkan depi li te wa lè Chichak, wa peyi Lejip la, atake lavil Jerizalèm.
And it came to pass in the fifth year of king Rehoboam, that Shishak king of Egypt came up against Jerusalem.
26 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.
And he took away the treasures of the house of Jehovah, and the treasures of the king's house. He even took away all. And he took away all the shields of gold which Solomon had made.
27 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.
And king Rehoboam made in their stead shields of brass, and committed them to the hands of the captains of the guard who kept the door of the king's house.
28 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.
And it was so, that, as often as the king went into the house of Jehovah, the guard bore them, and brought them back into the guard-chamber.
29 Tout lòt bagay wa Woboram te fè yo, n'a jwenn yo ekri nan liv Istwa wa peyi Jida yo.
Now the rest of the acts of Rehoboam, and all that he did, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Judah?
30 Pandan tout tan sa a se te yon lagè san rete ant Woboram ak Jewoboran.
And there was war between Rehoboam and Jeroboam continually.
31 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'.
And Rehoboam slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers in the city of David. And his mother's name was Naamah the Ammonitess. And Abijah his son reigned in his stead.
