II Kings 10

And Ahab had seventy sons in Samaria. And Jehu wrote letters, and sent to Samaria, unto the rulers of Jezreel, to the elders, and to them that brought up Ahab's children, saying,

Akab te gen swasanndis pitit gason nan lavil Samari. Jeou ekri yon lèt, li voye yon kopi bay tout chèf ki lavil Samari yo, bay chèf fanmi yo ak bay moun ki reskonsab pitit Akab yo. Men sa li voye di yo:

Now as soon as this letter cometh to you, seeing your master's sons are with you, and there are with you chariots and horses, a fenced city also, and armour;

--Mwen konnen se nou menm ki gen reskonsablite tout pitit mèt nou yo, cha lagè li yo, chwal li yo, ranpa lavil la ak tout zam ki ladan l'. Resevwa n'a resevwa lèt sa a,

Look even out the best and meetest of your master's sons, and set him on his father's throne, and fight for your master's house.

n'a chwazi yonn nan pitit mèt nou an, sa nou wè ki pi bon an, sa ki gen kalite pou sa, n'a mete l' sou fotèy la nan plas papa l'. Lèfini, n'a goumen pou pran defans li.

But they were exceedingly afraid, and said, Behold, two kings stood not before him: how then shall we stand?

Men mesye yo te pè anpil, yo di: --De wa pa t' ka kenbe tèt ak li. Kote se nou ki pou ta rive fè l'!

And he that was over the house, and he that was over the city, the elders also, and the bringers up of the children, sent to Jehu, saying, We are thy servants, and will do all that thou shalt bid us; we will not make any king: do thou that which is good in thine eyes.

Se konsa ofisye ki te anchaj palè a, gouvènè lavil la, chèf fanmi yo ak reskonsab pitit wa yo voye di Jeou: --Se sou zòd ou nou ye, n'ap fè tou sa ou di nou fè. Men, nou p'ap mete pesonn wa. W'a fè sa w'a wè ki pi bon.

Then he wrote a letter the second time to them, saying, If ye be mine, and if ye will hearken unto my voice, take ye the heads of the men your master's sons, and come to me to Jezreel by to morrow this time. Now the king's sons, being seventy persons, were with the great men of the city, which brought them up.

Jeou voye yon dezyèm lèt ba yo, li di yo: --Si nou avè m', si nou vle koute lòd mwen enben, denmen lè konsa, pote tèt pitit Akab yo ban mwen isit lavil Jizreyèl. Swasanndis pitit Akab yo te lakay grannèg lavil Samari ki t'ap elve yo.

And it came to pass, when the letter came to them, that they took the king's sons, and slew seventy persons, and put their heads in baskets, and sent him them to Jezreel.

Lè yo resevwa lèt Jeou a, yo touye swasanndis pitit Akab yo, yo mete tèt yo nan panyen, yo voye yo bay Jeou lavil Jizreyèl.

And there came a messenger, and told him, saying, They have brought the heads of the king's sons. And he said, Lay ye them in two heaps at the entering in of the gate until the morning.

Lè yo vin di Jeou yo te pote tèt pitit wa Akab yo, li bay lòd pou yo fè de pil ak yo bò pòtay lavil la, kite yo la jouk denmen maten.

And it came to pass in the morning, that he went out, and stood, and said to all the people, Ye be righteous: behold, I conspired against my master, and slew him: but who slew all these?

Nan denmen maten li soti, l' ale kanpe bò pòtay la, li di moun ki te la yo: --Se mwen menm ki te fè konplo kont Joram, mèt mwen an, pou m' te touye l'. Nou pa gen anyen pou nou wè nan sa. Men, sa yo, ki moun ki touye yo?

Know now that there shall fall unto the earth nothing of the word of the LORD, which the LORD spake concerning the house of Ahab: for the LORD hath done that which he spake by his servant Elijah.

Sa vle di Seyè a pa nan pale mete la. Tou sa li te di sou fanmi Akab la te fèt pou rive vre. Se Seyè a menm ki fè tou sa rive jan li te di sa nan bouch Eli, sèvitè l' la.

So Jehu slew all that remained of the house of Ahab in Jezreel, and all his great men, and his kinsfolks, and his priests, until he left him none remaining.

Se konsa Jeou touye tout rès fanmi Akab ki te lavil Jizreyèl, tout grannèg ki t'ap sèvi avè l' li yo, bon zanmi l' yo ak prèt li yo. Li pa kite yonn ladan yo vivan.

And he arose and departed, and came to Samaria. And as he was at the shearing house in the way,

Apre sa, li pati pou lavil Samari. Sou wout la, lè li rive bò kan gadò mouton yo,

Jehu met with the brethren of Ahaziah king of Judah, and said, Who are ye? And they answered, We are the brethren of Ahaziah; and we go down to salute the children of the king and the children of the queen.

li jwenn ak kèk fanmi Okozyas, wa peyi Jida a. Li mande yo: --Ki moun nou ye? Yo reponn li: --Nou se fanmi wa Okozyas. Nou pral di pitit wa a ak pitit larenn lan bonjou.

And he said, Take them alive. And they took them alive, and slew them at the pit of the shearing house, even two and forty men; neither left he any of them.

Jeou bay moun ki te avè l' yo lòd sa a: --Pran yo tou vivan! Yo pran yo tou vivan, yo koupe kou yo bò kan gadò mouton yo. Te gen karannde moun antou. Yo pa kite yonn ladan yo vivan.

And when he was departed thence, he lighted on Jehonadab the son of Rechab coming to meet him: and he saluted him, and said to him, Is thine heart right, as my heart is with thy heart? And Jehonadab answered, It is. If it be, give me thine hand. And he gave him his hand; and he took him up to him into the chariot.

Jeou pati ankò. Sou wout li, li kontre ak Jonadab, pitit gason Rekab la, ki t'ap mache vin jwenn li. Jeou di l' bonjou, epi li di l' konsa: --Ou gen menm lide avè m'? Eske w'ap mache avè m'? Jonadab reponn: --Wi, m'ap mache avè ou. Jeou di li: --Si nou dakò, ban m' lanmen. Jonadab ak Jeou bay lanmen. Jeou ede l' moute sou cha lagè a bò kote l'.

And he said, Come with me, and see my zeal for the LORD. So they made him ride in his chariot.

Li di l' konsa: --Ann al avè m'. W'a wè jan mwen soti pou m' sèvi Seyè a. Se konsa yo pati ansanm sou cha a.

And when he came to Samaria, he slew all that remained unto Ahab in Samaria, till he had destroyed him, according to the saying of the LORD, which he spake to Elijah.

Lè yo rive lavil Samari, Jeou touye dènye rès moun nan fanmi Akab la. Li pa kite yonn ladan yo vivan, dapre pawòl Seyè a te mete nan bouch pwofèt Eli a.

And Jehu gathered all the people together, and said unto them, Ahab served Baal a little; but Jehu shall serve him much.

Apre sa, Jeou reyini tout pèp lavil Samari a, li di yo: --Akab te sèvi Baal yon ti kras, mwen menm m'ap sèvi l' plis pase l'.

Now therefore call unto me all the prophets of Baal, all his servants, and all his priests; let none be wanting: for I have a great sacrifice to do to Baal; whosoever shall be wanting, he shall not live. But Jehu did it in subtilty, to the intent that he might destroy the worshippers of Baal.

Se poutèt sa, fè chache tout pwofèt yo, tout sèvitè Baal yo ak tout prèt li yo, fè yo vin jwenn mwen. Mwen vle pou tout moun la, paske mwen gen pou m' fè yon gwo sèvis pou Baal. Si yon moun pa la l'ap mouri. Men se yon plan Jeou te gen nan tèt li pou l' te touye tout moun k'ap sèvi Baal.

And Jehu said, Proclaim a solemn assembly for Baal. And they proclaimed it.

Se poutèt sa li bay lòd pou yo fè tout moun konnen yo pral fè yon gwo sèvis pou Baal. Yo fè piblikasyon an.

And Jehu sent through all Israel: and all the worshippers of Baal came, so that there was not a man left that came not. And they came into the house of Baal; and the house of Baal was full from one end to another.

Jeou voye bay nouvèl la nan tout peyi Izrayèl la. Tout moun ki sèvi Baal yo vini. Pa t' gen yonn ki pa t' la. Yo tout antre nan tanp Baal la, yo plenn l' nèt.

And he said unto him that was over the vestry, Bring forth vestments for all the worshippers of Baal. And he brought them forth vestments.

Jeou rele moun ki te reskonsab rad seremoni yo, li di l' konsa: --Pran rad seremoni bay tout sèvitè Baal yo. Nonm lan mete rad yo deyò, li bay yo chak yonn.

And Jehu went, and Jehonadab the son of Rechab, into the house of Baal, and said unto the worshippers of Baal, Search, and look that there be here with you none of the servants of the LORD, but the worshippers of Baal only.

Lèfini, Jeou ak Jonadab, pitit Rekab la, rive nan tanp Baal la, li di moun yo: --Se pou nou sèten se renk moun ki sèvi Baal ki la avè nou. Pa kite ankenn moun k'ap sèvi Seyè a nan mitan nou.

And when they went in to offer sacrifices and burnt offerings, Jehu appointed fourscore men without, and said, If any of the men whom I have brought into your hands escape, he that letteth him go, his life shall be for the life of him.

Tout moun yo antre nan tanp lan pou ofri bèt pou yo touye pou Baal ak bèt pou yo boule pou li. Men, Jeou te mete katreven moun pa l' sou deyò tanp lan. Li te avèti yo, li te di yo: --Si yonn nan nou kite yonn nan moun mwen pral lage nan men nou yo chape, se li menm k'ap mouri nan plas li.

And it came to pass, as soon as he had made an end of offering the burnt offering, that Jehu said to the guard and to the captains, Go in, and slay them; let none come forth. And they smote them with the edge of the sword; and the guard and the captains cast them out, and went to the city of the house of Baal.

Fini Jeou fini boule bèt yo pou Baal, li di gad yo ak kaptenn yo: --Antre, touye yo tout! Pa kite yonn ladan yo chape! Mesye Jeou yo antre ak nepe nan men yo, yo touye tout moun, yo trennen kadav yo met deyò. Lèfini, yo tounen nan pyès kote lotèl la ye nan tanp Baal la.

And they brought forth the images out of the house of Baal, and burned them.

Yo pran poto yo te mete kanpe pou Baal la, yo pote l' deyò, yo boule l'.

And they brake down the image of Baal, and brake down the house of Baal, and made it a draught house unto this day.

Yo demoli lotèl Baal la ansanm ak tanp lan. Yo pran tanp lan yo fè l' sèvi latrin jouk jounen jòdi a.

Thus Jehu destroyed Baal out of Israel.

Se konsa Jeou fè disparèt sèvis Baal nan peyi Izrayèl la.

Howbeit from the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, who made Israel to sin, Jehu departed not from after them, to wit, the golden calves that were in Beth–el, and that were in Dan.

Men li tonbe nan menm peche ak wa Jewoboram, pitit Nebat la, ki te lakòz pèp Izrayèl fè sa ki mal: li sèvi estati lò an fòm towo bèf ki te lavil Betèl ak lavil Dann.

And the LORD said unto Jehu, Because thou hast done well in executing that which is right in mine eyes, and hast done unto the house of Ahab according to all that was in mine heart, thy children of the fourth generation shall sit on the throne of Israel.

Seyè a di Jeou konsa: --Ou fè fanmi wa Akab la tou sa m' te vle fè yo. Ou byen fèt, ou fè sa ki dwat nan je m'. Se poutèt sa, pitit pitit ou yo pral wa nan peyi Izrayèl la rive sou kat jenerasyon.

But Jehu took no heed to walk in the law of the LORD God of Israel with all his heart: for he departed not from the sins of Jeroboam, which made Israel to sin.

Men, Jeou pa t' bat kò l' plis pase sa pou l' te mache dapre lalwa Seyè a. Okontrè, li lage kò l' nan fè menm peche ak wa Jewoboram ki te lakòz pèp Izrayèl la fè sa ki mal.

In those days the LORD began to cut Israel short: and Hazael smote them in all the coasts of Israel;

Lè sa a, Seyè a konmanse wonyen sou teritwa peyi Izrayèl la. Wa Azayèl atake moun Izrayèl yo toupatou nan peyi a,

From Jordan eastward, all the land of Gilead, the Gadites, and the Reubenites, and the Manassites, from Aroer, which is by the river Arnon, even Gilead and Bashan.

depi sou bò solèy leve larivyè Jouden jouk lavil Awoyè, anwo ravin Amon an nan sid, ki vle di nan tout peyi Galarad la ak peyi Bazan an kote moun branch fanmi Gad, fanmi Woubenn ak fanmi Manase yo rete.

Now the rest of the acts of Jehu, and all that he did, and all his might, are they not written in the book of the chronicles of the kings of Israel?

Tout rès istwa Jeou a ansanm ak tou sa li te fè ak kote yo rakonte jan li te vanyan sòlda, n'a jwenn tou sa ekri nan liv Istwa wa Izrayèl yo.

And Jehu slept with his fathers: and they buried him in Samaria. And Jehoahaz his son reigned in his stead.

Lè Jeou mouri, yo antere l' lavil Samari. Se Joakaz, pitit li, ki moute wa nan plas li.

And the time that Jehu reigned over Israel in Samaria was twenty and eight years.

Jeou te gouvènen peyi Izrayèl pandan ventwitan nan lavil Samari.
