1 Wa 20
1 Bennadad, wa peyi Siri a, reyini tout lame li a. Trannde lòt wa, avèk tout chwal yo ak cha lagè yo, vin mete tèt ansanm avè l'. Bennadad mache sou lavil Samari. Li sènen l', li atake l'.
Ben Hadad the king of Aram gathered all his army together; and there were thirty-two kings with him, and horses and chariots: and he went up and besieged Samaria, and fought against it.
2 Li voye mesaje anndan lavil la bò kote Akab, wa peyi Izrayèl la,
He sent messengers to Ahab king of Israel, into the city, and said to him, "Thus says Ben Hadad,
3 pou di li: -Wa Bennadad voye di ou tout bagay ou gen an lò ak an ajan se pou li yo ye. Tout madanm ou yo ak tout pi bon pitit gason ou yo se pou li yo ye tou.
'Your silver and your gold is mine. Your wives also and your children, even the best, are mine.'"
4 Wa Akab reponn: -Di wa Bennadad, mèt mwen, se jan li vle! Li mèt pran m' ansanm ak tou sa m' genyen.
The king of Israel answered, "It is according to your saying, my lord, O king. I am yours, and all that I have."
5 Mesaje yo tounen ankò vin di Akab: -Men sa Bennadab voye di ou: M' te voye mande ou pou ou ban mwen tou sa ou gen an lò ak an ajan, tout madanm ak tout pitit gason ou yo.
The messengers came again, and said, "Ben Hadad says, 'I sent indeed to you, saying, "You shall deliver me your silver, and your gold, and your wives, and your children;
6 Koulye a, denmen vè lè konsa, m'ap voye moun pa m' yo pou yo fouye palè ou la ak kay tout moun pa ou yo, pou yo pran tou sa y'a jwenn ki gen valè nan je yo.
but I will send my servants to you tomorrow about this time, and they shall search your house, and the houses of your servants; and it shall be, that whatever is pleasant in their eyes, they shall put it in their hand, and take it away."'"
7 Wa Akab fè rele tout chèf fanmi ki nan peyi a, li di yo konsa: -Jan nou wè l' la, nonm sa a soti pou l' pran tou sa nou genyen. Li te voye mande m' madanm mwen yo, pitit gason m' yo ak tout bagay an lò ak an ajan mwen genyen. Mwen pa refize l' anyen.
Then the king of Israel called all the elders of the land, and said, "Please notice how this man seeks mischief; for he sent to me for my wives, and for my children, and for my silver, and for my gold; and I did not deny him."
8 Chèf fanmi yo ansanm ak pèp la di l' konsa: -Pa koute l', pa dakò avè l'!
All the elders and all the people said to him, "Do not listen, neither consent."
9 Lè sa a, Akab di mesaje Bennadab yo: -Ale di mèt mwen, wa Bennadab, m' te dakò ak sa li te mande m' premye fwa a. Men, sa l' mande fwa sa a, m' pa ka fè l'. Mesaje yo pati, y' al pote repons lan bay Bennadad.
Therefore he said to the messengers of Ben Hadad, "Tell my lord the king, 'All that you sent for to your servant at the first I will do; but this thing I cannot do.'" The messengers departed, and brought him back the message.
10 Bennadab voye yo tounen al di Akab: -M'ap vini ak anpil moun pou m' kraze lavil Samari. p'ap gen ase demoli pou m' bay chak moun ki avè m' yo ti kras pou yo pote ale sitèlman y'ap anpil. Si m' pa fè sa, se pou bondye yo ban m' pi gwo pinisyon ki genyen
Ben Hadad sent to him, and said, "The gods do so to me, and more also, if the dust of Samaria shall suffice for handfuls for all the people who follow me."
11 Wa Akab voye reponn li: -Yon sòlda pa fèt pou l' ap vante tèt li anvan l' al goumen.
The king of Israel answered, "Tell him, 'Do not let him who puts on his armor brag like he who takes it off.'"
12 Bennadad t'ap bwè ak lòt wa yo anba tant yo lè yo pote repons Akab la ba li. Lamenm, li bay moun pa l' yo lòd pou yo mache sou lavil Samari. Se konsa, y' al pare pou atake.
It happened, when Ben Hadad heard this message, as he was drinking, he and the kings, in the pavilions, that he said to his servants, "Prepare to attack." They prepared to attack the city.
13 Lè sa a, yon pwofèt Bondye vin jwenn Akab, li di l' konsa: -Men sa Seyè a voye di ou: Ou wè tout kantite sòlda sa yo? Enben, mwen pral lage yo nan men ou jòdi a, konsa w'a konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a.
Look, a prophet came near to Ahab king of Israel, and said, "Thus says the LORD, 'Have you seen all this great multitude? Look, I will deliver it into your hand this day; and you shall know that I am the LORD.'"
14 Akab mande l': -Ki moun ou pral fè lage yo nan men m' jòdi a? Pwofèt la reponn li: -Seyè a voye di ou se jenn sòlda ki sou lòd gouvènè pwovens yo ki pral fè l'. Wa mande ankò: -Ki moun ki pral atake anvan? Pwofèt la reponn: -Ou menm.
Ahab said, "By whom?" He said, "Thus says the LORD, 'By the young men of the governors of the districts.'" Then he said, "Who shall begin the battle?" He answered, "You."
15 Lamenm, wa a fè rele jenn sòlda ki te sou lòd gouvènè pwovens yo. Li jwenn desantrannde (232) sòlda antou. Apre sa, li fè rele tout lame pèp Izrayèl la, li jwenn sètmil (7.000) gason.
Then he mustered the young men of the governors of the districts, and they were two hundred and thirty-two. After them, he mustered all the people, even all the children of Israel, being seven thousand.
16 Vè midi, yo soti al atake pandan Bennadad ansanm ak trannde lòt wa ki t'ap mache avè l' yo t'ap bwè anba tant yo.
They went out at noon. But Ben Hadad was drinking himself drunk in the pavilions, he and the kings, the thirty-two kings who helped him.
17 Se jenn sòlda yo ki t'ap mache devan. Bennadad te voye al wè jan sa ye bò kay moun pèp Izrayèl yo. Yo vin di li yo wè yon gwoup sòlda ki t'ap soti lavil Samari.
the young men of the governors of the districts went out first; and Ben Hadad sent out, and they told him, saying, "Men are coming out from Samaria."
18 Lè sa a, li di: -M' pa bezwen konnen si y'ap vin pou goumen osinon pou mande lapè, kenbe yo vivan mennen ban mwen.
He said, "If they have come out for peace, take them alive; or if they have come out for war, take them alive."
19 Jenn sòlda gouvènè yo soti nan lavil la pou al atake. Yo t'ap mache devan, rès lame a t'ap swiv yo.
So these went out of the city, the young men of the governors of the districts, and the army which followed them.
20 Yo chak yo touye moun ki te vin pou goumen ak yo a. Moun peyi Siri yo pran kouri, moun Izrayèl yo menm t'ap kouri dèyè yo. Bennadad menm resi chape kò l' sou chwal ansanm ak kèk lòt kavalye.
They each killed his man. The Arameans fled, and Israel pursued them. Ben Hadad the king of Aram escaped on a horse with horsemen.
21 Wa Akab vin atake lè sa a, li touye chwal moun Siri yo, li kraze cha lagè yo. Li bat moun Siri yo byen bat.
The king of Israel went out, and struck the horses and chariots, and killed the Arameans with a great slaughter.
22 Apre sa, pwofèt la al jwenn wa Akab, li di l' konsa: -Ou mèt tounen koulye a, mete lame ou la anfòm. Kalkile byen sou sa ou pral fè, paske nan ennan, dat pou dat, wa peyi Siri a ap tounen vin atake ou ankò.
The prophet came near to the king of Israel, and said to him, "Go, strengthen yourself, and mark, and see what you do; for at the return of the year the king of Aram will come up against you."
23 Chèf ki te avèk wa Bennadad yo vin di l': -Bondye pèp Izrayèl yo se bondye mòn yo ye. Se poutèt sa yo bat nou jan yo bat nou an. Men, si nou goumen ak yo nan tè plat, wè pa wè, n'ap bat yo.
The servants of the king of Aram said to him, "Their god is a god of the hills; therefore they were stronger than we. But let us fight against them in the plain, and surely we shall be stronger than they.
24 Koulye a, men sa ou pral fè. Wete kòmandman an nan men lòt wa yo, mete chèf pa ou nan plas yo.
Do this thing: take the kings away, every man out of his place, and put captains in their place.
25 Ou menm ou pral moute yon gwo lame tankou lame ou pèdi a, ak menm kantite chwal ak cha lagè ou te gen anvan an. Nou pral goumen ak moun pèp Izrayèl yo nan plenn. W'ap wè fwa sa a n'ap bat yo. Wa Bennadad dakò, li fè sa chèf yo te di l' fè a.
Muster an army, like the army that you have lost, horse for horse, and chariot for chariot. We will fight against them in the plain, and surely we will be stronger than them." He listened to their voice, and did so.
26 Ennan apre, dat pou dat, li reyini tout sòlda moun peyi Siri yo, li mennen yo jouk lavil Afèk pou y' al atake moun peyi Izrayèl yo.
It happened at the return of the year, that Ben Hadad mustered the Arameans, and went up to Aphek, to fight against Israel.
27 Akab reyini tout lame pèp Izrayèl la, li ba yo zam ak pwovizyon. Yo soti al kontre moun Siri yo. Yo separe fè de gwoup, yo moute kan yo devan lame moun Siri yo. Sòlda peyi Izrayèl yo te sanble ak de ti bann kabrit devan lame moun Siri a menm ki te kouvri tout peyi a.
The children of Israel were mustered, and were provisioned, and went against them. The children of Israel camped before them like two little flocks of young goats; but the Arameans filled the country.
28 Yon pwofèt Bondye vin jwenn Akab, wa Izrayèl la, li di l' konsa: -Men mesaj Seyè a voye ba ou: Paske moun Siri yo di se yon bondye mòn mwen ye, mwen pa konn tè plat, mwen pral lage tout gwo lame sa a nan men ou. Konsa w'a konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a.
A man of God came near and spoke to the king of Israel, and said, "Thus says the LORD, 'Because the Arameans have said, "The LORD is a god of the hills, but he is not a god of the valleys"; therefore I will deliver all this great multitude into your hand, and you shall know that I am the LORD.'"
29 Pandan sèt jou, moun Siri yo ak moun Izrayèl yo rete nan kan yo, yonn anfas lòt. Sou setyèm jou a yo konmanse goumen. Moun Izrayèl yo touye sanmil (100.000) moun Siri.
They camped one over against the other seven days. So it was, that in the seventh day the battle was joined; and the children of Israel killed one hundred thousand footmen of the Arameans in one day.
30 Sa ki chape yo kouri ale lavil Afèk. Lè yo rive la, miray lavil la tonbe sou yo, li touye vennsètmil (27.000) sòlda ki te rete yo. Bennadad tou te chape kò l' nan lagè a. Li antre nan yon kay, l' al kache nan yon pyès jouk nan fon.
But the rest fled to Aphek, into the city; and the wall fell on twenty-seven thousand men who were left. Ben Hadad fled, and came into the city, into an inner room.
31 Moun pa l' yo vin jwenn li, yo di l' konsa: -Nou tande jan wa peyi Izrayèl yo se moun ki gen bon kè. Ban nou otorizasyon pou n' al jwenn wa peyi Izrayèl la. N'ap mete rad sak sou nou tankou moun yo fè prizonye. Ou pa janm konnen li ka sove lavi ou.
His servants said to him, "See now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful kings. Please let us put sackcloth on our bodies, and ropes on our heads, and go out to the king of Israel. Maybe he will save your life."
32 Se konsa yo mete rad sak sou yo tankou moun ki nan lapenn, yo plòtonnen moso kòd nan kou yo, y' al jwenn Akab, yo di l' konsa: -Bennadad voye di ou, monwa, se esklav ou li ye. Tanpri, pa touye l'. Akab reponn: -An! Msye vivan toujou. Mwen byen kontan! Se yon frè li ye pou mwen wi!
So they put sackcloth on their bodies and ropes on their heads, and came to the king of Israel, and said, "Your servant Ben Hadad says, 'Please let me live.'" He said, "Is he still alive? He is my brother."
33 Moun Bennadad yo pran sa pou yon bon siy, yo repete pawòl ki te fèk sot nan bouch wa a, yo di l' konsa: -Bennadad, se frè monwa! Akab reponn: -Al chache l' mennen ban mwen! Bennadad soti kote l' te ye a, li parèt devan Akab, Akab fè l' moute sou cha pa l' ansanm avè l'.
Now the men were looking for an omen, and they seized upon it from him, and they said, "Ben Hadad is your brother." Then he said, "Go, bring him." Then Ben Hadad came out to him, and he had him come up into the chariot.
34 Bennadad di li: -M'ap renmèt ou tout lavil papa m' te pran nan men papa ou yo. Ou mèt louvri boutik nan lavil Damas pou vann, menm jan papa m' te fè l' lavil Samari. Akab reponn li: -Si se konsa, w'ap pase yon kontra avè m', mwen menm m'ap kite ou al fè wout ou. Akab pase yon kontra avèk Bennadad, lèfini li kite l' al fè wout li.
Ben Hadad said to him, "The cities which my father took from your father I will restore. You shall make streets for yourself in Damascus, as my father made in Samaria." "I," said Ahab, "will let you go with this covenant." So he made a covenant with him, and let him go.
35 Nan menm epòk sa a, Seyè a pale ak yon pwofèt nan gwoup pwofèt li yo. Li ba li lòd pou li mande yon lòt pwofèt ba l' kou. Men lòt pwofèt la derefize.
A certain man of the sons of the prophets said to his fellow by the word of the LORD, "Please strike me." The man refused to strike him.
36 Lè sa a, premye pwofèt la di l' konsa: -Poutèt ou derefize obeyi lòd Seyè a, separe n'a separe, yon lyon ap touye ou. Konsa vre, ale premye pwofèt la ale, yon lyon vin rive, li touye lòt pwofèt la.
Then he said to him, "Because you have not obeyed the voice of the LORD, look, as soon as you are departed from me, a lion shall kill you." As soon as he was departed from him, a lion found him, and killed him.
37 Apre sa, premye pwofèt la kontre yon lòt moun, li mande l' pou li ba l' kou. Nonm lan frape l' byen fò, jouk li mete san l' deyò.
Then he found another man, and said, "Please strike me." The man struck him, smiting and wounding him.
38 Lèfini, pwofèt la kouvri figi l' ak yon moso twal pou moun pa rekonèt li, l' al kanpe bò wout la ap tann wa a pase.
So the prophet departed, and waited for the king by the way, and disguised himself with his headband over his eyes.
39 Lè wa a vin ap pase, pwofèt la pran pale byen fò, li di konsa: -Monwa, mwen te nan mitan batay la, mwen t'ap goumen lè yon sòlda mennen yon lènmi li te fè prizonye. Li di m' konsa: Veye msye pou mwen. Si ou kite l' chape anba men ou, m'ap touye ou osinon w'ap peye twamil (3.000) pyès an ajan pou li.
As the king passed by, he cried to the king; and he said, "Your servant went out into the midst of the battle; and look, a man turned aside, and brought a man to me, and said, 'Guard this man. If by any means he be missing, then your life shall be for his life, or else you shall pay a talent of silver.'
40 Men, monwa, pandan m' okipe ap fè lòt bagay, prizonye a sove. Wa Izrayèl la di l' konsa: -Se ou menm ki kondannen tèt ou, lèfini ou tou di sa ou gen pou peye pou sa ou fè a!
As your servant was busy here and there, he was gone." The king of Israel said to him, "So your judgment shall be; you yourself have decided it."
41 Pwofèt la prese wete moso twal ki te bouche figi l' la. Lamenm wa a rekonèt se yonn nan pwofèt yo.
He hurried, and took the headband away from his eyes; and the king of Israel recognized that he was of the prophets.
42 Pwofèt la di wa a: -Men mesaj Seyè a voye di ou: Poutèt ou kite moun mwen te bay lòd pou yo touye a chape, se ou menm ki pral peye pou li. Ou pral mouri. Se lame ou ki pral peye pou lame pa l'. Yo pral mouri.
He said to him, "Thus says the LORD, 'Because you have let go out of your hand the man whom I had devoted to destruction, therefore your life shall go for his life, and your people for his people.'"
43 Se konsa, wa peyi Izrayèl la tounen lakay li lavil Samari, li te boulvèse, men li byen mare.
The king of Israel went to his house sullen and angry, and came to Samaria.
