I Kings 21

Apre tout bagay sa yo, men sa ki rive: Nan lavil Jizreyèl, toupre palè wa Akab la, te gen yon jaden rezen ki te pou yon nonm yo te rele Nabòt.

And it came to pass after these things, that Naboth the Jezreelite had a vineyard, which was in Jezreel, hard by the palace of Ahab king of Samaria.

Yon jou, wa Akab di Nabòt konsa: -Ban m' jaden rezen ou lan pou m' ka fè yon jaden legim. Li toupre kay mwen. m'a ba ou yon lòt jaden rezen ki pi bon pase sa a. Osinon si ou pito, m'a ba ou yon bon pri pou li.

And Ahab spake unto Naboth, saying, Give me thy vineyard, that I may have it for a garden of herbs, because it is near unto my house: and I will give thee for it a better vineyard than it; or, if it seem good to thee, I will give thee the worth of it in money.

Men, Nabòt reponn Akab: -Se tè eritaj li ye. Dapre lalwa Seyè a, mwen pa gen dwa vann ou li.

And Naboth said to Ahab, The LORD forbid it me, that I should give the inheritance of my fathers unto thee.

Akab al lakay li men li byen mare. Li te fache poutèt Nabòt te di l' li p'ap vann byen eritaj li a. Li moute kabann, li kouche, li bay figi l' nan panno, li derefize manje.

And Ahab came into his house heavy and displeased because of the word which Naboth the Jezreelite had spoken to him: for he had said, I will not give thee the inheritance of my fathers. And he laid him down upon his bed, and turned away his face, and would eat no bread.

Jezabèl, madanm li, vin bò kote l'. Li mande l': -Sa ou genyen ou move konsa? Poukisa ou pa manje?

But Jezebel his wife came to him, and said unto him, Why is thy spirit so sad, that thou eatest no bread?

Akab reponn, li di li: -M' pale ak Nabòt, nonm Jizreyèl la. Mwen mande l' pou l' vann mwen jaden rezen l' lan, osinon si li pito, m'a ba li yon lòt pou li. Men, li di m' li p'ap ban mwen jaden l' lan.

And he said unto her, Because I spake unto Naboth the Jezreelite, and said unto him, Give me thy vineyard for money; or else, if it please thee, I will give thee another vineyard for it: and he answered, I will not give thee my vineyard.

Jezabèl di li: -Kouman! Se pa ou ki wa nan peyi Izrayèl la ankò? Leve non, monchè! Manje manje ou, fè kè ou kontan. Mwen pral ba ou jaden rezen Nabòt la.

And Jezebel his wife said unto him, Dost thou now govern the kingdom of Israel? arise, and eat bread, and let thine heart be merry: I will give thee the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite.

Jezabèl ekri kèk lèt, li siyen non Akab anba yo, li sele yo ak so wa a, epi li voye yo bay chèf fanmi ak otorite ki rete lavil Jizreyèl menm kote ak Nabòt.

So she wrote letters in Ahab's name, and sealed them with his seal, and sent the letters unto the elders and to the nobles that were in his city, dwelling with Naboth.

Men sa li voye di yo nan lèt yo: Sanble tout moun pou yon sèvis jèn. Mande Nabòt pou li dirije sèvis la.

And she wrote in the letters, saying, Proclaim a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people:

Lèfini, jwenn de vakabon, fè yo vin kanpe devan l' pou yo akize l'. y'a di li derespekte Seyè a ansanm ak wa a. Lè sa a, n'a pran Nabòt, n'a trennen l' andeyò limit lavil la, n'a kalonnen l' wòch jouk li mouri.

And set two men, sons of Belial, before him, to bear witness against him, saying, Thou didst blaspheme God and the king. And then carry him out, and stone him, that he may die.

Chèf fanmi yo ak otorite lavil Jizreyèl yo fè tou sa Jezabèl ba yo lòd fè nan lèt yo.

And the men of his city, even the elders and the nobles who were the inhabitants in his city, did as Jezebel had sent unto them, and as it was written in the letters which she had sent unto them.

Yo fè konnen yo pral fè sèvis jèn. Yo fè tout pèp la sanble, yo mete Nabòt devan pou dirije sèvis la.

They proclaimed a fast, and set Naboth on high among the people.

De vakabon vin rive, yo kanpe devan Nabòt, yo akize msye devan tout pèp la. Yo di li derespekte Bondye ansanm ak wa a. Lamenm, yo pran Nabòt, yo mennen l' andeyò limit lavil la, yo kalonnen li wòch jouk li mouri.

And there came in two men, children of Belial, and sat before him: and the men of Belial witnessed against him, even against Naboth, in the presence of the people, saying, Naboth did blaspheme God and the king. Then they carried him forth out of the city, and stoned him with stones, that he died.

Apre sa, yo voye di Jezabèl: -Nou kalonnen Nabòt wòch, li mouri.

Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, Naboth is stoned, and is dead.

Resevwa Jezabèl resevwa nouvèl lanmò Nabòt, l' al di Akab: -Leve non. Al pran jaden rezen Nabòt, nonm lavil Jizreyèl la, pou ou, jaden li te refize vann ou an. Nabòt pa nan moun isit ankò, li mouri.

And it came to pass, when Jezebel heard that Naboth was stoned, and was dead, that Jezebel said to Ahab, Arise, take possession of the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which he refused to give thee for money: for Naboth is not alive, but dead.

Lè wa Akab tande Nabòt, nonm lavil Jizreyèl la, te mouri, l' ale, li pran jaden rezen an pou li.

And it came to pass, when Ahab heard that Naboth was dead, that Ahab rose up to go down to the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, to take possession of it.

Lè sa a, Seyè a pale ak Eli, pwofèt lavil Tichbe a, li di l' konsa:

And the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,

-Al jwenn wa Akab nan peyi Samari. W'ap jwenn li koulye a nan jaden rezen Nabòt la. Li vin pran l' pou li.

Arise, go down to meet Ahab king of Israel, which is in Samaria: behold, he is in the vineyard of Naboth, whither he is gone down to possess it.

W'a di li men mesaj Seyè a voye ba li: Ou fin touye Nabòt, koulye a ou soti pou pran jaden rezen l' lan! Apre sa, w'a di l' ankò men sa Seyè a voye di ou: Menm kote chen te niche san Nabòt la, chen gen pou yo niche san pa ou tou.

And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus saith the LORD, Hast thou killed, and also taken possession? And thou shalt speak unto him, saying, Thus saith the LORD, In the place where dogs licked the blood of Naboth shall dogs lick thy blood, even thine.

Lè Akab wè Eli, li di l' konsa: -Enben, lènmi mwen, ou jwenn mwen jòdi a! Eli reponn, li di l': -Wè! Mwen jwenn ou paske se renk move bagay w'ap plede fè devan Seyè a.

And Ahab said to Elijah, Hast thou found me, O mine enemy? And he answered, I have found thee: because thou hast sold thyself to work evil in the sight of the LORD.

Men mesaj Seyè a voye ba ou: M'ap voye yon gwo malè sou ou. Mwen pral disparèt ou. Mwen pral touye dènye gason, granmoun kou timoun, nan fanmi ou.

Behold, I will bring evil upon thee, and will take away thy posterity, and will cut off from Ahab him that pisseth against the wall, and him that is shut up and left in Israel,

Sa ki te rive fanmi wa Jewoboam, pitit Nebat la, ak fanmi wa Bacha, pitit Akija a, se sa ki pral rive fanmi pa ou la tou. Se mwen menm k'ap fè sa paske ou fè m' fache anpil, lèfini se ou ki lakòz pèp Izrayèl la ap fè sa ki mal.

And will make thine house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like the house of Baasha the son of Ahijah, for the provocation wherewith thou hast provoked me to anger, and made Israel to sin.

Men sa Seyè a di sou Jezabèl: Chen gen pou manje kadav li nan mitan lavil Jizreyèl.

And of Jezebel also spake the LORD, saying, The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the wall of Jezreel.

Chen pral manje kadav tout moun nan fanmi Akab ki va mouri anndan lavil la. Malfini karanklou va manje kadav tout moun nan fanmi an ki va mouri andeyò limit lavil la.

Him that dieth of Ahab in the city the dogs shall eat; and him that dieth in the field shall the fowls of the air eat.

Pa janm gen pesonn mechan tankou Akab. Li te lage kò l' nèt nan fè sa ki mal devan Seyè a. Li te kite madanm li, Jezabèl, pran tèt li.

But there was none like unto Ahab, which did sell himself to work wickedness in the sight of the LORD, whom Jezebel his wife stirred up.

Li te fè bagay ki lèd nèt, l' al fè sèvis pou vye zidòl tankou moun Amori yo te fè l' la. Se moun Amori sa yo Seyè a te mete deyò nan peyi a pou fè plas pou moun Izrayèl yo.

And he did very abominably in following idols, according to all things as did the Amorites, whom the LORD cast out before the children of Israel.

Lè Eli fin pale, Akab pran lapenn, li chire rad sou li, li mete yon rad sak, li rete san manje. Ata dòmi li dòmi ak rad sak la sou li. Li t'ap mache kagou.

And it came to pass, when Ahab heard those words, that he rent his clothes, and put sackcloth upon his flesh, and fasted, and lay in sackcloth, and went softly.

Apre sa, Seyè a pale ak Eli, moun lavil Tichbe a, li di l' konsa:

And the word of the LORD came to Elijah the Tishbite, saying,

-Ou wè jan Akab vin dou nan pye m'! Paske li fè sa, m'ap tann li mouri anvan m' voye malè a sou fanmi li. Se va pandan rèy pitit gason l' lan m'a voye malè sou fanmi l'.

Seest thou how Ahab humbleth himself before me? because he humbleth himself before me, I will not bring the evil in his days: but in his son's days will I bring the evil upon his house.
