I Kings 20

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'.
And Ben–hadad the king of Syria gathered all his host together: and there were thirty and two kings with him, and horses, and chariots: and he went up and besieged Samaria, and warred against it.
Li voye mesaje anndan lavil la bò kote Akab, wa peyi Izrayèl la,
And he sent messengers to Ahab king of Israel into the city, and said unto him, Thus saith Ben–hadad,
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.
Thy silver and thy gold is mine; thy wives also and thy children, even the goodliest, are mine.
Wa Akab reponn: -Di wa Bennadad, mèt mwen, se jan li vle! Li mèt pran m' ansanm ak tou sa m' genyen.
And the king of Israel answered and said, My lord, O king, according to thy saying, I am thine, and all that I have.
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.
And the messengers came again, and said, Thus speaketh Ben–hadad, saying, Although I have sent unto thee, saying, Thou shalt deliver me thy silver, and thy gold, and thy wives, and thy children;
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.
Yet I will send my servants unto thee to morrow about this time, and they shall search thine house, and the houses of thy servants; and it shall be, that whatsoever is pleasant in thine eyes, they shall put it in their hand, and take it away.
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, Mark, I pray you, and see how this man seeketh mischief: for he sent unto me for my wives, and for my children, and for my silver, and for my gold; and I denied him not.
Chèf fanmi yo ansanm ak pèp la di l' konsa: -Pa koute l', pa dakò avè l'!
And all the elders and all the people said unto him, Hearken not unto him, nor consent.
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.
Wherefore he said unto the messengers of Ben–hadad, Tell my lord the king, All that thou didst send for to thy servant at the first I will do: but this thing I may not do. And the messengers departed, and brought him word again.
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
And Ben–hadad sent unto him, and said, The gods do so unto me, and more also, if the dust of Samaria shall suffice for handfuls for all the people that follow me.
Wa Akab voye reponn li: -Yon sòlda pa fèt pou l' ap vante tèt li anvan l' al goumen.
And the king of Israel answered and said, Tell him, Let not him that girdeth on his harness boast himself as he that putteth it off.
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.
And it came to pass, when Ben–hadad heard this message, as he was drinking, he and the kings in the pavilions, that he said unto his servants, Set yourselves in array. And they set themselves in array against the city.
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.
And, behold, there came a prophet unto Ahab king of Israel, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Hast thou seen all this great multitude? behold, I will deliver it into thine hand this day; and thou shalt know that I am the LORD.
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.
And Ahab said, By whom? And he said, Thus saith the LORD, Even by the young men of the princes of the provinces. Then he said, Who shall order the battle? And he answered, Thou.
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 numbered the young men of the princes of the provinces, and they were two hundred and thirty two: and after them he numbered all the people, even all the children of Israel, being seven thousand.
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.
And they went out at noon. But Ben–hadad was drinking himself drunk in the pavilions, he and the kings, the thirty and two kings that helped him.
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.
And the young men of the princes of the provinces went out first; and Ben–hadad sent out, and they told him, saying, There are men come out of Samaria.
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.
And he said, Whether they be come out for peace, take them alive; or whether they be come out for war, take them alive.
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 young men of the princes of the provinces came out of the city, and the army which followed them.
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.
And they slew every one his man: and the Syrians fled; and Israel pursued them: and Ben–hadad the king of Syria escaped on an horse with the horsemen.
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.
And the king of Israel went out, and smote the horses and chariots, and slew the Syrians with a great slaughter.
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.
And the prophet came to the king of Israel, and said unto him, Go, strengthen thyself, and mark, and see what thou doest: for at the return of the year the king of Syria will come up against thee.
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.
And the servants of the king of Syria said unto him, Their gods are gods 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.
Koulye a, men sa ou pral fè. Wete kòmandman an nan men lòt wa yo, mete chèf pa ou nan plas yo.
And do this thing, Take the kings away, every man out of his place, and put captains in their rooms:
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.
And number thee an army, like the army that thou hast lost, horse for horse, and chariot for chariot: and we will fight against them in the plain, and surely we shall be stronger than they. And he hearkened unto their voice, and did so.
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.
And it came to pass at the return of the year, that Ben–hadad numbered the Syrians, and went up to Aphek, to fight against Israel.
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.
And the children of Israel were numbered, and were all present, and went against them: and the children of Israel pitched before them like two little flocks of kids; but the Syrians filled the country.
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.
And there came a man of God, and spake unto the king of Israel, and said, Thus saith the LORD, Because the Syrians have said, The LORD is God of the hills, but he is not God of the valleys, therefore will I deliver all this great multitude into thine hand, and ye shall know that I am the LORD.
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.
And they pitched one over against the other seven days. And so it was, that in the seventh day the battle was joined: and the children of Israel slew of the Syrians an hundred thousand footmen in one day.
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 there a wall fell upon twenty and seven thousand of the men that were left. And Ben–hadad fled, and came into the city, into an inner chamber.
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.
And his servants said unto him, Behold now, we have heard that the kings of the house of Israel are merciful kings: let us, I pray thee, put sackcloth on our loins, and ropes upon our heads, and go out to the king of Israel: peradventure he will save thy life.
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 girded sackcloth on their loins, and put ropes on their heads, and came to the king of Israel, and said, Thy servant Ben–hadad saith, I pray thee, let me live. And he said, Is he yet alive? he is my brother.
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 did diligently observe whether any thing would come from him, and did hastily catch it: and they said, Thy brother Ben–hadad. Then he said, Go ye, bring him. Then Ben–hadad came forth to him; and he caused him to come up into the chariot.
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.
And Ben–hadad said unto him, The cities, which my father took from thy father, I will restore; and thou shalt make streets for thee in Damascus, as my father made in Samaria. Then said Ahab, I will send thee away with this covenant. So he made a covenant with him, and sent him away.
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.
And a certain man of the sons of the prophets said unto his neighbour in the word of the LORD, Smite me, I pray thee. And the man refused to smite him.
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 said he unto him, Because thou hast not obeyed the voice of the LORD, behold, as soon as thou art departed from me, a lion shall slay thee. And as soon as he was departed from him, a lion found him, and slew him.
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, Smite me, I pray thee. And the man smote him, so that in smiting he wounded him.
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 ashes upon his face.
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.
And as the king passed by, he cried unto the king: and he said, Thy servant went out into the midst of the battle; and, behold, a man turned aside, and brought a man unto me, and said, Keep this man: if by any means he be missing, then shall thy life be for his life, or else thou shalt pay a talent of silver.
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!
And as thy servant was busy here and there, he was gone. And the king of Israel said unto him, So shall thy judgment be; thyself hast decided it.
Pwofèt la prese wete moso twal ki te bouche figi l' la. Lamenm wa a rekonèt se yonn nan pwofèt yo.
And he hasted, and took the ashes away from his face; and the king of Israel discerned him that he was of the prophets.
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.
And he said unto him, Thus saith the LORD, Because thou hast let go out of thy hand a man whom I appointed to utter destruction, therefore thy life shall go for his life, and thy people for his people.
Se konsa, wa peyi Izrayèl la tounen lakay li lavil Samari, li te boulvèse, men li byen mare.
And the king of Israel went to his house heavy and displeased, and came to Samaria.
