2 Istwa 17-18
Haitian Creole Version
17 ¶ Jozafa, pitit Asa, moute wa nan plas papa l'. Li ranfòse pozisyon l' devan peyi Izrayèl la.
2 Li mete sòlda nan tout lavil ki gen ranpa nan peyi Jida a, li mete gouvènè nan tout peyi Jida a ak nan tout lavil Asa, papa l', te pran nan peyi Efrayim lan.
3 Seyè a te kanpe avèk Jozafa, paske li te fè tankou David, granpapa l', nan konmansman rèy li. Li pa t' kouri dèyè Baal yo.
4 Li t'ap chache tout jan pou li te sèvi Bondye zansèt li a. Li te mache dapre lòd Bondye bay yo, li pa t' fè tankou wa Izrayèl yo.
5 Seyè a bay gouvènman l' lan fòs. Nan peyi Jida a, tout moun t'ap pote kado ba li. Konsa, li te vin gen anpil byen. Tout moun t'ap fè lwanj li.
6 Li te pran plezi l' nan fè volonte Seyè a. Li fè disparèt tout kote yo t'ap sèvi zidòl nan peyi Jida a, ansanm ak tout estati Achera yo.
7 Li te gen twazan depi li te wa lè li voye kèk chèf nan tout lavil peyi Jida yo pou moutre pèp la sa pou l' fè. Men non chèf yo: Se te Bennayil, Obadya, Zekaraya, Netaneyèl ak Mikaya.
8 Yo te gen nèf moun Levi ak de prèt ak yo. Moun Levi yo te rele Chemaya, Netanya, Zebadya, Asayèl, Chemiramòt, Jonatan, Adonija, Tobija ak Tobadonija. Prèt yo te rele: Elichama ak Joram.
9 Avèk liv lalwa Seyè a nan men yo, yo mache nan tout peyi a, yo ale nan tout lavil yo pou moutre pèp la sa pou li fè.
10 ¶ Tout gouvènman peyi ki te vwazen ak peyi Jida a te sitèlman pè Seyè a, yo yonn pa chache fè lagè ak wa Jozafa.
11 Lekontrè, te gen anpil moun Filisti ki te pote anpil kado ak anpil ajan ba li tankou si li te chèf yo. Ata moun peyi Arabi yo te pote sètmil sètsan (7.700) mouton ak sètmil sètsan (7.700) kabrit fè l' kado.
12 Se konsa, pouvwa Jozafa a t'ap vin pi fò chak jou. Nan tout peyi Jida a, li bati sitadèl ak lavil pou sèvi l' depo.
13 Li te gen pwovizyon an kantite nan tout lavil peyi a. Nan lavil Jerizalèm menm, li te gen anpil vanyan sòlda.
14 Men kantite ki te genyen dapre branch fanmi yo: Te gen Adna, kòmandan tout chèf batayon branch fanmi Jida a ak twasanmil (300.000) sòlda sou zòd li.
15 Li te gen avè l' Jokanan avèk desankatrevenmil (280.000) sòlda sou zòd li.
16 Avè l' toujou te gen Amasya, pitit Zikri a, ak desanmil (200.000) sòlda. Amasya sa a te pote tèt li limenm, san pesonn pa t' mande l' pou sèvi Seyè a.
17 Alatèt moun branch fanmi Benjamen yo te gen Elyada, yon vanyan sòlda, ak desanmil (200.000) sòlda ki te gen plak pwotèj ak banza.
18 Avè l' te gen Jeozabad avèk sankatrevenmil (180.000) sòlda byen ame pou lagè.
19 Se moun sa yo ki t'ap sèvi wa a lavil Jerizalèm, san konte lòt sòlda wa a te mete an ganizon nan lòt lavil ak ranpa nan peyi Jida a.
18 ¶ Jozafa te vin gen anpil richès, tout moun t'ap fè lwanj pou li. Li ranje yon maryaj ant yon moun nan fanmi l' ak yon moun nan fanmi Akab, wa peyi Izrayèl la.
2 Kèk lanne apre sa, Jozafa al rann Akab yon vizit lavil Samari. Lè sa a, Akab fè yon gwo fèt pou Jozafa ansanm ak moun ki te avè l' yo. Li te fè touye yon pakèt mouton ak bèf pou fèt la. Lèfini, li chache pran tèt Jozafa pou yo al atake lavil Ramòt nan peyi Galarad.
3 Akab, wa peyi Izrayèl la, di Jozafa, wa peyi Jida a: -Eske w'ap vin avè m' pou atake lavil Ramòt nan peyi Galarad la? Jozafa reponn li: -Mwen menm ak tout sòlda mwen yo, nou avè ou ansanm ak pèp ou a. Se yonn nou ye!
4 ¶ Apre sa, Jozafa di Akab, wa peyi Izrayèl la: -Tanpri, annou mande Seyè a sa li di nan sa.
5 Se konsa, Akab reyini katsan (400) pwofèt li yo, li mande yo: -Eske se pou m' al atake lavil Ramòt nan peyi Galarad la, osinon èske se pou m' kite sa? Pwofèt yo reponn li: -Atake l', monwa! Seyè a ap lage l' nan men ou!
6 Lè sa a, Jozafa di konsa: -Pa gen lòt pwofèt nou ta ka mande si se volonte Seyè a pou n' al fè sa?
7 Akab reponn: -Gen yon lòt pwofèt ankò ki ta ka fè sa pou nou. Se Miche, pitit gason Jimla a. Men, m' rayi l', paske li pa janm di anyen ki bon pou mwen. Li toujou wè malè pou mwen. Jozafa reponn: -Pa di sa, monchè!
8 Se konsa Akab rele yonn nan nèg konfyans li yo, li di l': -Prese al chache Miche, pitit gason Jimla a, pou mwen.
9 Wa peyi Izrayèl la ak Jozafa, wa peyi Jida a, te chita yo chak sou fotèy pa yo ak bèl rad wa yo sou yo, sou gwo glasi ki bò pòtay lavil Samari a sou deyò. Tout pwofèt yo te la devan yo ap bay mesaj pa yo.
10 Yonn ladan yo te rele Sedesyas. Se te pitit Kenana. Li fè fè de kòn an fè. Li di: -Men sa Seyè a di: Avèk kòn sa yo ou pral atake moun Siri yo. Ou pral fini ak yo.
11 Tout lòt pwofèt yo t'ap bay menm mesaj la tou. Yo t'ap di: -Ou mèt al atake Ramòt nan peyi Galarad. W'ap bon. Seyè a ap lage lavil la nan men ou.
12 Mesaje ki te pati al rele Miche a di Miche konsa: -Tout lòt pwofèt yo te pale an favè wa a. Ranje kò ou pou ou pale tankou yo tout. Pale an favè wa a.
13 Men, Miche reponn li: -Mwen pran Seyè a, Bondye vivan an, sèvi m' temwen. Sa Seyè a va di m' di se sa m'a di.
14 Lè Miche rive devan wa a, wa a di l' konsa: -Miche, èske se pou m' al atake lavil Ramòt nan peyi Galarad, osinon èske se pou n' kite sa? Miche reponn: -Ou mèt al atake Ramòt nan peyi Galarad. W'ap bon. Seyè a ap lage lavil la nan men ou.
15 Men, Akab di li: -Konbe fwa pou m' di ou lè w'ap pale avè m' nan non Seyè a, se pou ou di m' laverite?
16 Lè sa a, Miche reponn li: -Mwen te wè tout sòlda pèp Izrayèl yo gaye toupatou sou mòn yo, tankou yon bann mouton san gadò. Seyè a te di: Moun sa yo san chèf. Kite yo tounen lakay yo ak kè poze.
17 Akab, wa peyi Izrayèl la, di Jozafa: -Mwen pa t' di ou li pa janm di anyen ki bon pou mwen. Li toujou wè malè pou mwen.
18 Miche pran lapawòl ankò, li di: -Bon! Koute mesaj Seyè a. Mwen te wè Seyè a chita sou fotèy li nan syèl la, avèk tout zanj li yo kanpe bò kote l', sou bò dwat ak sou bò gòch li.
19 Seyè a t'ap mande ki moun ki vle al pran tèt Akab pou li al fè yo touye l' lavil Ramòt. Gen zanj ki di yon bagay, gen lòt zanj ki di yon lòt bagay.
20 Se lè sa a, yon lespri vanse devan Seyè a, li di: Mwen pral pran tet li.
21 Seyè a mande l': Ki jan? Lespri a reponn: Mwen pral mete pawòl manti nan bouch pwofèt Akab yo. Seyè a di l': W'a pran tèt li vre konsa. Ou mèt al fè jan ou di a.
22 Koulye a, ou konnen Seyè a te mete yon lespri mantò sou pwofèt ou yo pou yo ba ou manti, paske li pran desizyon pou l' fini avè ou.
23 Lè sa a, Sedesyas, pitit gason Kenana a, mache sou Miche, li flanke li yon souflèt. Epi li di l': -Depi kilè lespri Bondye a kite m' pou se nan bouch ou l'ap pale a?
24 Miche reponn li: -W'a konn sa lè w'a kouri pase sot nan yon chanm antre nan yon lòt pou al kache jouk nan fon.
25 Se konsa wa Akab pase yon lòd, li di: -Arete Miche. Mennen l' bay Amon, gouvènè lavil la, ak Joas, pitit wa a.
26 Di yo mwen bay lòd pou yo mete l' nan prizon, pou yo ba li renk pen ak dlo jouk m'a tounen soti nan lagè a san danje ak malè.
27 Lè sa a, Miche di: -Si ou tounen soti nan lagè a san danje ni malè vre, w'a konnen Seyè a pa t' pale nan bouch mwen. Lèfini, li di: -Nou tout pèp yo, koute sa m' di la a wi.
28 ¶ Se konsa Akab, wa peyi Izrayèl la, ansanm ak Jozafa, wa peyi Jida a, moute al atake lavil Ramòt nan peyi Galarad.
29 Akab di Jozafa konsa: -Mwen pral mete yon lòt rad sou mwen anvan m al goumen an, pou moun pa rekonèt mwen. Ou men, ou mèt mete rad wa ou sou ou. Se konsa wa peyi Izrayèl la chanje rad sou li pou moun pa rekonèt li. Apre sa, li al goumen.
30 Men, wa peyi Siri a te bay trannde chèf ki t'ap kòmande cha lagè yo lòd pou yo pa atake pesonn pase wa peyi Izrayèl la.
31 Se konsa, lè kòmandan cha lagè yo wè Jozafa, yo tout te konprann se li ki te wa peyi Izrayèl la. Yo vire sou li pou yo atake l'. Men, Jozafa rele anmwe. Bondye sèl mèt la vin pote l' sekou, li fè yo vire kite l'.
32 Lè mesye yo wè se pa li menm ki te wa peyi Izrayèl la, yo rete sou sa yo te vle fè a.
33 Lè sa a, yon sòlda peyi Siri rete konsa li voye yon flèch. Flèch la al pran Akab, wa Izrayèl la, nan fant rad lagè ki te sou li a. Wa a di sòlda ki t'ap mennen cha li a: -Kase tèt tounen. Annou kite batay la, paske mwen blese grav.
34 Jou sa a, batay la te makònen anpil. Wa Akab menm te rete kanpe sou cha li a, l'ap gade moun peyi Siri yo jouk aswè. Lè solèy kouche li mouri.

New International Version
2 Chronicles 17-18
New International Version
Jehoshaphat King of Judah
17 Jehoshaphat his son succeeded him as king and strengthened(A) himself against Israel. 2 He stationed troops in all the fortified cities(B) of Judah and put garrisons in Judah and in the towns of Ephraim that his father Asa had captured.(C)
3 The Lord was with Jehoshaphat because he followed the ways of his father David(D) before him. He did not consult the Baals 4 but sought(E) the God of his father and followed his commands rather than the practices of Israel. 5 The Lord established the kingdom under his control; and all Judah brought gifts(F) to Jehoshaphat, so that he had great wealth and honor.(G) 6 His heart was devoted(H) to the ways of the Lord; furthermore, he removed the high places(I) and the Asherah poles(J) from Judah.(K)
7 In the third year of his reign he sent his officials Ben-Hail, Obadiah, Zechariah, Nethanel and Micaiah to teach(L) in the towns of Judah. 8 With them were certain Levites(M)—Shemaiah, Nethaniah, Zebadiah, Asahel, Shemiramoth, Jehonathan, Adonijah, Tobijah and Tob-Adonijah—and the priests Elishama and Jehoram. 9 They taught throughout Judah, taking with them the Book of the Law(N) of the Lord; they went around to all the towns of Judah and taught the people.
10 The fear(O) of the Lord fell on all the kingdoms of the lands surrounding Judah, so that they did not go to war against Jehoshaphat. 11 Some Philistines brought Jehoshaphat gifts and silver as tribute, and the Arabs(P) brought him flocks:(Q) seven thousand seven hundred rams and seven thousand seven hundred goats.
12 Jehoshaphat became more and more powerful; he built forts and store cities in Judah 13 and had large supplies in the towns of Judah. He also kept experienced fighting men in Jerusalem. 14 Their enrollment(R) by families was as follows:
From Judah, commanders of units of 1,000:
Adnah the commander, with 300,000 fighting men;
15 next, Jehohanan the commander, with 280,000;
16 next, Amasiah son of Zikri, who volunteered(S) himself for the service of the Lord, with 200,000.
17 From Benjamin:(T)
Eliada, a valiant soldier, with 200,000 men armed with bows and shields;
18 next, Jehozabad, with 180,000 men armed for battle.
19 These were the men who served the king, besides those he stationed in the fortified cities(U) throughout Judah.(V)
Micaiah Prophesies Against Ahab(W)
18 Now Jehoshaphat had great wealth and honor,(X) and he allied(Y) himself with Ahab(Z) by marriage. 2 Some years later he went down to see Ahab in Samaria. Ahab slaughtered many sheep and cattle for him and the people with him and urged him to attack Ramoth Gilead. 3 Ahab king of Israel asked Jehoshaphat king of Judah, “Will you go with me against Ramoth Gilead?”
Jehoshaphat replied, “I am as you are, and my people as your people; we will join you in the war.” 4 But Jehoshaphat also said to the king of Israel, “First seek the counsel of the Lord.”
5 So the king of Israel brought together the prophets—four hundred men—and asked them, “Shall we go to war against Ramoth Gilead, or shall I not?”
“Go,” they answered, “for God will give it into the king’s hand.”
6 But Jehoshaphat asked, “Is there no longer a prophet of the Lord here whom we can inquire of?”
7 The king of Israel answered Jehoshaphat, “There is still one prophet through whom we can inquire of the Lord, but I hate him because he never prophesies anything good about me, but always bad. He is Micaiah son of Imlah.”
“The king should not say such a thing,” Jehoshaphat replied.
8 So the king of Israel called one of his officials and said, “Bring Micaiah son of Imlah at once.”
9 Dressed in their royal robes, the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah were sitting on their thrones at the threshing floor by the entrance of the gate of Samaria, with all the prophets prophesying before them. 10 Now Zedekiah son of Kenaanah had made iron horns, and he declared, “This is what the Lord says: ‘With these you will gore the Arameans until they are destroyed.’”
11 All the other prophets were prophesying the same thing. “Attack Ramoth Gilead(AA) and be victorious,” they said, “for the Lord will give it into the king’s hand.”
12 The messenger who had gone to summon Micaiah said to him, “Look, the other prophets without exception are predicting success for the king. Let your word agree with theirs, and speak favorably.”
13 But Micaiah said, “As surely as the Lord lives, I can tell him only what my God says.”(AB)
14 When he arrived, the king asked him, “Micaiah, shall we go to war against Ramoth Gilead, or shall I not?”
“Attack and be victorious,” he answered, “for they will be given into your hand.”
15 The king said to him, “How many times must I make you swear to tell me nothing but the truth in the name of the Lord?”
16 Then Micaiah answered, “I saw all Israel(AC) scattered on the hills like sheep without a shepherd,(AD) and the Lord said, ‘These people have no master. Let each one go home in peace.’”
17 The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “Didn’t I tell you that he never prophesies anything good about me, but only bad?”
18 Micaiah continued, “Therefore hear the word of the Lord: I saw the Lord sitting on his throne(AE) with all the multitudes of heaven standing on his right and on his left. 19 And the Lord said, ‘Who will entice Ahab king of Israel into attacking Ramoth Gilead and going to his death there?’
“One suggested this, and another that. 20 Finally, a spirit came forward, stood before the Lord and said, ‘I will entice him.’
“‘By what means?’ the Lord asked.
21 “‘I will go and be a deceiving spirit(AF) in the mouths of all his prophets,’ he said.
“‘You will succeed in enticing him,’ said the Lord. ‘Go and do it.’
22 “So now the Lord has put a deceiving spirit in the mouths of these prophets of yours.(AG) The Lord has decreed disaster for you.”
23 Then Zedekiah son of Kenaanah went up and slapped(AH) Micaiah in the face. “Which way did the spirit from[a] the Lord go when he went from me to speak to you?” he asked.
24 Micaiah replied, “You will find out on the day you go to hide in an inner room.”
25 The king of Israel then ordered, “Take Micaiah and send him back to Amon the ruler of the city and to Joash the king’s son, 26 and say, ‘This is what the king says: Put this fellow in prison(AI) and give him nothing but bread and water until I return safely.’”
27 Micaiah declared, “If you ever return safely, the Lord has not spoken through me.” Then he added, “Mark my words, all you people!”
Ahab Killed at Ramoth Gilead(AJ)
28 So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat king of Judah went up to Ramoth Gilead. 29 The king of Israel said to Jehoshaphat, “I will enter the battle in disguise, but you wear your royal robes.” So the king of Israel disguised(AK) himself and went into battle.
30 Now the king of Aram had ordered his chariot commanders, “Do not fight with anyone, small or great, except the king of Israel.” 31 When the chariot commanders saw Jehoshaphat, they thought, “This is the king of Israel.” So they turned to attack him, but Jehoshaphat cried out,(AL) and the Lord helped him. God drew them away from him, 32 for when the chariot commanders saw that he was not the king of Israel, they stopped pursuing him.
33 But someone drew his bow at random and hit the king of Israel between the breastplate and the scale armor. The king told the chariot driver, “Wheel around and get me out of the fighting. I’ve been wounded.” 34 All day long the battle raged, and the king of Israel propped himself up in his chariot facing the Arameans until evening. Then at sunset he died.(AM)

13 ¶ Se te jou anvan fèt Delivrans jwif yo. Jezi te konnen lè a te rive pou l' te kite tè sa a, pou li al jwenn Papa a. Li pa t' manke renmen moun pa l' yo ki te nan lemonn. Li te renmen yo nèt ale.
2 Jezi t'ap manje ak disip li yo jou swa sa a. Satan te gen tan pran tèt Jida, pitit gason Simon Iskariòt la, pou l' te trayi Jezi.
3 Jezi te konnen pou tèt pa l' li te soti nan Bondye, epi li t'ap tounen jwenn Bondye ankò. Li te konnen Papa a te ba li pouvwa sou tout bagay.
4 Li leve sot devan tab la, li wete gwo rad li a, li pran yon sèvyèt, li mare l' nan ren li.
5 Apre sa, li vide dlo nan yon kivèt. Epi li kòmanse lave pye disip li yo. Li t'ap siye yo ak sèvyèt li te mare nan ren l' lan.
6 Se konsa, li rive sou Simon Pyè ki di l' konsa: Mèt, ou menm ki pral lave pye mwen?
7 Jezi reponn li: Koulye a ou pa konprann sa m'ap fè a. Men, wa konprann pita.
8 Pye di li: Non, mwen p'ap janm kite ou lave pye mwen. Jezi reponn li: Si m' pa lave pye ou, ou p'ap disip mwen ankò.
9 Simon Pyè di li: Si se konsa, Mèt, se pa pye m' ase pou ou lave. Lave men m' yo tou ansanm ak tèt mwen.
10 Jezi di li: Lè yon moun fin benyen, tout kò l' pwòp. Se pye l' ase ki bezwen lave. Nou menm, nou tou pwòp, men se pa nou tout ki pwòp.
11 (Jezi te konnen ki moun ki tapral trayi li. Se poutèt sa li te di: Se pa nou tout ki pwòp.)
12 Lè l' fin lave pye yo tout, Jezi mete gwo rad la sou li ankò, li tounen nan plas li bò tab la, epi li di yo: Eske nou konprann sa m' sot fè la a?
13 Nou rele m' Mèt, nou rele m' Seyè. Nou gen rezon, se sa m' ye vre.
14 Si mwen menm ki Seyè, mwen menm ki Mèt, mwen lave pye nou, konsa tou, nou menm, se pou nou yonn lave pye lòt.
15 Mwen ban nou yon egzanp pou nou ka fè menm bagay mwen te fè pou nou an.
16 Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: Yon domestik pa janm pi grannèg pase mèt li. Moun yo voye a pa janm pi grannèg pase moun ki voye l' la.
17 Koulye a nou konn bagay sa yo. benediksyon pou nou si nou fè menm jan an tou.
18 ¶ Lè m' di sa, mwen pa pale pou nou tout. Mwen konnen moun mwen chwazi yo. Men, fòk sa ki te ekri nan Liv la rive vre. Moun k'ap manje nan menm plat avè m' lan, se li menm ki trayi mwen.
19 M'ap tou di nou sa koulye a anvan bagay sa yo rive, pou lè yo rive vre nou ka kwè mwen se moun mwen ye a.
20 Sa m'ap di nou la a, se vre wi: Moun ki resevwa moun mwen voye a, li resevwa m' tou. Moun ki resevwa m', li resevwa moun ki voye m' lan.

New International Version
Jesus Washes His Disciples’ Feet
13 It was just before the Passover Festival.(A) Jesus knew that the hour had come(B) for him to leave this world and go to the Father.(C) Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end.
2 The evening meal was in progress, and the devil had already prompted Judas, the son of Simon Iscariot, to betray Jesus.(D) 3 Jesus knew that the Father had put all things under his power,(E) and that he had come from God(F) and was returning to God; 4 so he got up from the meal, took off his outer clothing, and wrapped a towel around his waist.(G) 5 After that, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples’ feet,(H) drying them with the towel that was wrapped around him.
6 He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?”
7 Jesus replied, “You do not realize now what I am doing, but later you will understand.”(I)
8 “No,” said Peter, “you shall never wash my feet.”
Jesus answered, “Unless I wash you, you have no part with me.”
9 “Then, Lord,” Simon Peter replied, “not just my feet but my hands and my head as well!”
10 Jesus answered, “Those who have had a bath need only to wash their feet; their whole body is clean. And you are clean,(J) though not every one of you.”(K) 11 For he knew who was going to betray him,(L) and that was why he said not every one was clean.
12 When he had finished washing their feet, he put on his clothes and returned to his place. “Do you understand what I have done for you?” he asked them. 13 “You call me ‘Teacher’(M) and ‘Lord,’(N) and rightly so, for that is what I am. 14 Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet.(O) 15 I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you.(P) 16 Very truly I tell you, no servant is greater than his master,(Q) nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. 17 Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them.(R)
Jesus Predicts His Betrayal
18 “I am not referring to all of you;(S) I know those I have chosen.(T) But this is to fulfill this passage of Scripture:(U) ‘He who shared my bread(V) has turned[a](W) against me.’[b](X)
19 “I am telling you now before it happens, so that when it does happen you will believe(Y) that I am who I am.(Z) 20 Very truly I tell you, whoever accepts anyone I send accepts me; and whoever accepts me accepts the one who sent me.”(AA)
