Kings III 13
1 And behold, there came a man of God out of Juda by the word of the Lord to Baethel, and Jeroboam stood at the altar to sacrifice.
Alò, vwala, te vini yon nonm Bondye soti Juda rive Béthel pa pawòl SENYÈ a, pandan Jéroboam te kanpe akote lotèl la pou brile lansan an.
2 And he cried against the altar by the word of the Lord, and said, O altar, altar, thus says the Lord, Behold, a son is [to be] born to the house of David, Josias by name; and he shall offer upon you the priests of the high places, [even] of them that sacrifice upon you, and [he] shall burn men's bones upon you.
Li te kriye kont lotèl la pa pawòl SENYÈ a. Li te di: “O lotèl, lotèl, konsa di SENYÈ a: ‘Veye byen, yon fis va ne nan kay David la. Josias va non li. Epi sou ou, li va fè sakrifis a prèt ki brile lansan sou ou yo, ak zo Kretyen yo ki va brile sou ou.’”
3 And in that day one shall give a sign, saying, This [is] the word which the Lord has spoken, saying, Behold, the altar is tore, and the fatness upon it shall be poured out.
Konsa, li te bay yon sign nan menm jou sa, e li te di: “Sa se sign ke SENYÈ a te pale a: Gade byen, lotèl la va vin fann separe e sann ki sou li yo va vide deyò.”
4 And it came to pass when king Jeroboam heard the words of the man of God who called on the altar that was in Baethel, that the king stretched forth his hand from the altar, saying, Take hold of him. And, behold, his hand, which he stretched forth against him, withered, and he could not draw it back to himself.
Alò, lè wa a te tande pawòl a nonm Bondye a, ke li te kriye kont lotèl Béthel la, Jéroboam te lonje men l soti nan lotèl la. Li te di: “Sezi li.” Men men ke li te lonje kont li an te vin sèch, jiskaske li pa t kab rale retounen l kote li.
5 And the altar was tore, and the fatness was poured out from the altar, according to the sign which the man of God gave by the word of the Lord.
Lotèl la osi te ouvri fann e sann yo te vide nèt soti nan lotèl la, selon sign ke nonm a Bondye a te bay selon pawòl SENYÈ a.
6 And king Jeroboam said to the man of God, Intreat the Lord your God, and let my hand be restored to me. And the man of God entreated the Lord, and he restored the king's hand to him, and it became as before.
Wa a te di a nonm Bondye a: “Souple, fè yon lapriyè a SENYÈ a, Bondye ou a e mande pou mwen, pou men m kapab vin restore a mwen menm.” Konsa, nonm Bondye a te priye a SENYÈ a, epi men a wa a te restore de li menm. Li te vin jan li te ye avan an.
7 And the king said to the man of God, Enter with me into the house, and dine, and I will give you a gift.
Alò, wa a te di a nonm Bondye a: “Vin lakay la avèk mwen pou rafrechi ou, e mwen va ba ou yon rekonpans.”
8 And the man of God said to the king, If you should give me the half of your house, I would not go in with you, neither will I eat bread, neither will I drink water in this place; for thus the Lord charged me by [his] word, saying,
Men nonm Bondye a te di a wa a: “Menmsi ou te ban mwen menm mwatye kay ou, mwen pa t ap prale avèk ou, ni mwen pa t ap manje pen, ni bwè dlo nan plas sa a.
9 Eat no bread, and drink no water, and return not by the way by which you came.
Paske se konsa li te kòmande mwen pa pawòl SENYÈ a e te di: ‘Ou pa pou manje okenn pen, ni bwè dlo, ni retounen pa chemen ke ou te vini an.’”
10 So he departed by another way, and returned not by the way by which he came to Baethel.
Pou sa, li te fè yon lòt chemen e li pa t retounen pa chemen ke li te vini Béthel la.
11 And there lived an old prophet in Baethel; and his sons came and told him all the works that the man of God did on that day in Baethel, and the words which he spoke to the king: and they turned the face of their father.
Alò, yon pwofèt granmoun t ap viv Béthel, epi fis li yo te vini pou te di li tout zèv ke nonm Bondye a te fè pandan jou sa nan Béthel. Yo te pale li pawòl yo ke li te pale a wa a.
12 And their father spoke to them, saying, Which way went he? and his sons show him the way by which the man of God who came out of Juda went up.
Papa yo te di yo: “Se ki direksyon li te pran?” Alò, fis li yo te wè direksyon ke nonm Bondye ki te sòti Juda a te pran an.
13 And he said to his sons, Saddle me the ass: and they saddled him the ass, and he mounted it,
Epi li te di a fis li yo: “Sele bourik la pou mwen.” Konsa, yo te sele bourik la pou li e li te sòti sou li.
14 and went after the man of God, and found him sitting under an oak: and he said to him, Are you the man of God that came out of Juda? And he said to him, I [am].
Konsa, li te ale dèyè nonm Bondye a. Li te twouve li te chita anba yon pye bwadchenn. Konsa, li te mande l: “Èske ou menm se nonm Bondye ki te sòti Juda a?” Li te reponn: “Se mwen”.
15 And he said to him, Come with me, and eat bread.
Konsa, li te di li: “Vin lakay mwen pou manje pen.”
16 And he said, I shall not by any means be able to return with you, neither will I eat bread, neither will I drink water in this place.
Li te di: “Mwen p ap kab retounen avèk ou, ni ale avèk ou, ni mwen p ap manje pen ni bwè dlo avèk ou nan plas sa a.
17 For thus the Lord commanded me by word, saying, Eat not bread there, and drink not water, and return not there by the way by which you came.
Paske yon lòd rive jwenn mwen pa pawòl SENYÈ a: ‘Ou pa pou manje pen, ni bwè dlo, ni pa retounen pa chemen ke ou te vini an.’”
18 And he said to him, I also am a prophet as you [are]; and an angel spoke to me by the word of the Lord, saying, Bring him back to you into your house, and let him eat bread and drink water: but he lied to him.
Li te di li: “Mwen menm se yon pwofèt tankou ou, e yon zanj te pale avèk mwen pa pawòl SENYÈ, e li te di: ‘Mennen li retounen lakay ou avèk ou pou l kab manje pen ak bwè dlo. Men se manti li t ap fè.’”
19 And he brought him back, and he ate bread and drank water in his house.
Konsa, li te retounen avèk li e te manje pen lakay li a e te bwè dlo.
20 And it came to pass while they were sitting at the table, that the word of the Lord came to the prophet that brought him back;
Alò, li te vin rive, pandan yo te chita sou tab la a, ke pawòl SENYÈ a te vini a pwofèt ki te fè li retounen an;
21 and he spoke to the man of God that came out of Juda, saying, Thus says the Lord, Because you have resisted the word of the Lord, and have not kept the commandment which the Lord your God commanded you,
epi li te kriye a nonm Bondye ki te sòti Juda a, e li te di: “Konsa pale SENYÈ a: ‘Akoz ou te dezobeyi kòmandman SENYÈ a e pa t swiv lòd ke SENYÈ a, Bondye ou a, te kòmande ou a,
22 but have returned, and eaten bread and drunk water in the place of which he spoke to you, saying, You shall not eat bread, and shall not drink water; [therefore] your body shall in nowise enter into the sepulchre of your fathers.
men ou te retounen, ou te manje pen e bwè dlo nan plas kote Li te di ou: “Pa manje okenn pen ni bwè okenn dlo a”; kò ou p ap rive nan tonm papa ou a.’”
23 And it came to pass after he had eaten bread and drunk water, that he saddled the ass for him, and he turned and departed.
Li te vin rive lè li te fin manje pen an e bwè a, ke li te sele bourik la pou li, pou pwofèt la te mennen li retounen.
24 And a lion found him in the way, and killed him; and his body was cast out in the way, and the ass was standing by it, and the lion [also] was standing by the body.
Alò, lè li t ap prale, yon lyon te rankontre li sou wout la e te touye li, kò li te jete sou wout la, avèk bourik la kanpe akote li ak lyon an osi te kanpe akote kò a.
25 And, behold, men [were] passing by, and saw the carcase cast in the way, and the lion was standing near the carcase: and they went in and spoke [of it] in the city where the old prophet lived.
Epi vwala, moun yo t ap pase kote l, e yo te wè kò a jete sou wout la ak lyon an ki te kanpe akote kò a. Konsa, yo te rive pale sa nan vil kote pwofèt granmoun nan te rete a.
26 And [the prophet] that turned him back out of the way heard, and said, This is the man of God who rebelled against the word of the Lord.
Alò, lè pwofèt ki te mennen li retounen soti nan chemen an te tande sa, li te di: “Se nonm Bondye ki te dezobeyi lòd SENYÈ a. Pou sa, SENYÈ a te bay li a lyon, ki te chire li e touye li selon pawòl ke SENYÈ a te pale li a.”
27 [And he spoke to his sons, saying, Saddle me the ass, and they saddled it. ]
Alò, li te pale avèk fis li yo e te di: “Sele bourik la pou mwen.” Epi yo te sele li.
28 And he went and found the body cast in the way, and the ass and the lion were standing by the body: and the lion had not devoured the body of the man of God, and had not torn the ass.
Li te ale twouve kò li ki te jete sou wout la avèk bourik la ak lyon ki te kanpe akote kò a. Lyon an pa t manje kò a, ni li pa t chire bourik la.
29 And the prophet took up the body of the man of God, and laid it on his ass; and the prophet brought him back to his city, to bury him in his own tomb,
Konsa, pwofèt la te leve pran kò a nonm Bondye a. Li te kouche li sou bourik la, e li te mennen li retounen. Li te rive nan vil a pwofèt granmoun nan pou kriye pou li e antere li.
30 and they bewailed him, [saying], Alas, brother.
Li te kouche kadav la nan pwòp tonm pa li, e yo te kriye pou li, e te di: “Anmwey, frè m!”
31 And it came to pass after he had lamented him, that he spoke to his sons, saying, Whenever I die, bury me in this tomb wherein the man of God is buried; lay me by his bones, that my bones may be preserved with his bones.
Apre li te fin antere li, li te pale avèk fis li yo e te di: “Lè m mouri, antere mwen nan tonm kote nonm Bondye a antere a. Kouche zo pa m yo akote zo pa l yo.
32 For the word will surely come to pass which he spoke by the word of the Lord against the altar in Baethel, and against the high houses in Samaria.
Paske bagay la, anverite, va rive ke li te kriye selon pawòl SENYÈ a kont lotèl la Béthel ak kont tout kay plas wo ki nan vil a Samarie yo.”
33 And after this Jeroboam turned not from his sin, but he turned and made of part of the people priests of the [high places]: whoever would, he consecrated him, and he became a priest for the high places.
Apre evenman sa a, Jéroboam pa t kite chemen mechanste li, men ankò li te fè prèt pou wo plas yo soti nan tout pèp la. Nenpòt moun ki ta vle fè sa, li te òdone pou devni prèt nan wo plas yo.
34 And this thing became sin to the house of Jeroboam, even to its destruction and its removal from the face of the earth.
Evenman sa a te devni peche lakay Jéroboam, jis menm pou ta detwi kay li e fè l disparèt sou fas tè a.
