2 Wa 1
1 Apre lanmò Akab, wa peyi Izrayèl la, peyi Moab pran lèzam kont moun Izrayèl yo.
And Moab rebelled against Israel after the death of Achaab.
2 Okozyas, wa peyi Izrayèl la, pran yon so, li soti nan balkon lakay li, li tonbe sou twati palè li lavil Samari. Li fraktire nan tout kò l'. Li voye moun al pale ak Baalzeboub, bondye moun Filisti yo ki te gen tanp li lavil Ekwon, pou konnen si l'ap refè.
And Ochozias fell through the lattice that was in his upper chamber in Samaria and was sick; and he sent messengers, and said to them, Go and enquire of Baal fly, the god of Accaron, whether I shall recover of this my sickness. And they went to enquire of him.
3 Men, zanj Seyè a pale ak pwofèt Eli, moun lavil Tichbe a, li di l' konsa: —Leve al kontre mesaje Okozyas, wa peyi Samari a. W'a mande yo si pa gen Bondye nan peyi Izrayèl la kifè yo pral pale ak Baalzeboub, bondye lavil Ekwon an.
And an angel of the Lord called Eliu the Thesbite, saying, Arise, and go to meet the messengers of Ochozias king of Samaria, and you shall say to them, [Is it] because there is no God in Israel, [that] you go to enquire of Baal fly, the God of Accaron? but [it shall] not [be] so.
4 W'a di yo tou men mesaj Seyè a voye bay wa a: Li p'ap leve sou kabann kote li kouche a paske li pral mouri. Eli leve, li fè sa Seyè a te mande l' fè a.
For thus says the Lord, The bed on which you are gone up, you shall not come down from it, for you shall surely die. And Eliu went, and said [so] to them.
5 Lè mesaje yo tounen al jwenn wa a, wa a mande yo: —Poukisa nou tounen?
And the messengers returned to him, and he said to them, Why have you returned?
6 Yo reponn li: —Paske nou kontre ak yon nonm sou wout nou ki di nou: Tounen al jwenn wa ki te voye nou an. N'a di li: Men mesaj Seyè a voye ba li: Kouman? Pa gen Bondye nan peyi Izrayèl la kifè ou voye moun al pale ak Baalzeboub, bondye lavil Ekwon an? Poutèt sa ou fè a, ou p'ap leve sou kabann kote ou kouche a, ou pral mouri.
And they said to him, A man came up to meet us, and said to us, Go, return to the king that sent you, and say to him, Thus says the Lord, [Is it] because there is no God in Israel, [that] you go to enquire of Baal fly, the God of Accaron? [it shall] not [be] so: the bed on which you are gone up, you shall not come down from it, for you shall surely die.
7 Wa a mande yo: —Moun ki te vin kontre nou an epi ki di nou tout pawòl sa yo, ki jan li te ye?
So they returned and reported to the king as Eliu said: and he said to them, What [was] the manner of the man who went up to meet you, and spoke to you these words?
8 Msye yo reponn li: —Li te gen yon gwo rad fèt ak po bèt sou li ak yon sentiwon po bèt mare nan ren l'. Wa a di: —Se Eli, moun lavil Tichbe a.
And they said to him, [He was] a hairy man, and girded with a leather girdle about his loins. And he said, This is Eliu the Thesbite.
9 Li voye yon kaptenn ak senkant sòlda al chache Eli. Lè yo rive, yo jwenn Eli chita sou tèt yon ti mòn. Yo di li konsa: —Sèvitè Bondye, wa a pase ou lòd pou ou desann.
And he sent to him a captain of fifty and his fifty; and he went up to him: and, behold, Eliu sat on the top of a mountain. And the captain of fifty spoke to him, and said, O man of God, the king has called you, come down.
10 Eli reponn: —Si m' se yon sèvitè Bondye vre, se pou dife soti nan syèl la tonbe ni sou ou ni sou sòlda ou yo pou l' kankannen nou! Lamenm, yon dife soti nan syèl la, li kankannen ni kaptenn lan ni senkant sòlda li yo.
And Eliu answered and said to the captain of fifty, And if I [am] a man of God, fire shall come down out of heaven, and devour you and your fifty. And fire came down out of heaven, and devoured him and his fifty.
11 Wa voye yon lòt kaptenn ak senkant lòt sòlda. Lè yo rive, yo di Eli: —Sèvitè Bondye, wa a voye di ou desann koulye a san pèdi tan.
And the king sent a second time to him another captain of fifty, and his fifty. And the captain of fifty spoke to him, and said, O man of God, thus says the king, Come down quickly.
12 Eli reponn: —Si m' se yon sèvitè Bondye vre, se pou dife soti nan syèl la tonbe ni sou ou ni sou senkant sòlda ou yo pou l' kankannen nou. Lamenm, yon dife soti nan syèl la, li kankannen ni kaptenn lan ni senkant sòlda li yo.
And Eliu answered and spoke to him, and said, If I [am] a man of God, fire shall come down out of heaven, and devour you and your fifty. And fire came down out of heaven, and devoured him and his fifty.
13 Fwa sa a ankò, wa a voye yon lòt kaptenn avèk senkant lòt sòlda. Lè kaptenn lan rive, li moute jouk kote Eli te ye a, li mete ajenou devan Eli, li di l' konsa: —Tanpri, sèvitè Bondye! Pitye pou mwen ak senkant sòlda mwen yo. Nou la pou rann ou nenpòt sèvis. Sove lavi nou!
And the king sent yet again a captain and his fifty. And the third captain of fifty came, and knelt on his knees before Eliu, and entreated him, and spoke to him and said, O man of God, let my life, and the life of these fifty your servants, be precious in your eyes.
14 Dife soti nan syèl la, li tonbe sou de lòt kaptenn yo ak tout sòlda ki te avèk yo! Tanpri, pitye pou mwen.
Behold, fire came down from heaven, and devoured the two first captains of fifty: and now, I pray, let my life be precious in your eyes.
15 Lè sa a, zanj Seyè a di Eli konsa: —Ou mèt ale ak msye. Ou pa bezwen pè l'. Eli leve, li desann ak kaptenn lan, l' al jwenn wa a.
And the angel of the Lord spoke to Eliu, and said, Go down with him, be not afraid of them. And Eliu rose up, and went down with him to the king.
16 Li di wa a konsa: —Men mesaj Seyè a voye ba ou: Paske ou voye moun al pale ak Baalzeboub, bondye lavil Ekwon an, tankou si pa gen Bondye nan peyi Izrayèl la ou ta ka al wè, ou p'ap janm leve sou kabann kote ou kouche a, ou pral mouri.
And Eliu spoke to him, and said, Thus says the Lord, Why have you sent messengers to enquire of Baal fly, the god of Accaron? [it shall] not [be] so: the bed on which you are gone up, you shall not come down from it, for you shall surely die.
17 Okozyas mouri vre, jan Seyè a te di l' la nan bouch Eli. Okozyas pa t' gen pitit gason. Se Joram, frè li, ki moute sou fotèy la nan plas li. Lè sa a, Joram, pitit gason Jozafa a, t'ap mache sou dezan depi li t'ap gouvènen nan peyi Jida.
So he died according to the word of the Lord which Eliu has spoken.
18 Tout rès istwa Okozyas la ansanm ak tou sa li te fè, n'a jwenn yo ekri nan liv Istwa wa peyi Izrayèl yo.
And the rest of the acts of Ochozias which he did, behold, [are] they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?
