2 Wa 3
Bib La · Kreyòl Ayisyen
1 Lè sa a, wa Jozafa t'ap mache sou dizwitan depi li t'ap gouvènen nan peyi Jida lè Joram, pitit Akab la, moute sou fotèy wa peyi Izrayèl la. Li pase douzan ap gouvènen nan lavil Samari. 2 Li fè sa ki mal nan je Seyè a, men pa tankou papa l' ak manman l' Jezabèl. Li wete gwo wòch papa l' te mete kanpe pou sèvis Baal la. 3 Men, li fè menm peche ak Jewoboram, pitit gason Nebat la, li lakòz pèp Izrayèl la fè peche. Li pa t' soti pou l' te kite vye chemen sa a. 4 Mesa, wa peyi Moab la, te fè gadinaj mouton. Se konsa li te pran angajman pou li te bay wa peyi Izrayèl la sanmil (0100.000) ti mouton ak sanmil (0100.000) belye ak tout lenn yo sou yo. 5 Men, lè Akab, wa peyi Izrayèl la, mouri, wa peyi Moab la revòlte kont otorite wa peyi Izrayèl la. 6 Lamenm, wa Joram kite lavil Samari, li sanble tout lame pèp Izrayèl la. 7 Epi li pati, li voye di Jozafa, wa peyi Jida a: —Wa peyi Moab la revòlte kont otorite mwen. Ou pa ta vle vin avè m' pou nou atake moun Moab yo? Jozafa reponn: —Men wi! Mwen menm ak tout sòlda mwen yo ak kavalye mwen yo, nou avè ou ansanm ak pèp ou a. Se yonn nou ye! 8 Ki wout n'ap pran pou n' al atake? Joram reponn li: —N'ap pran chemen ki pase nan dezè Edon an. 9 Se konsa Joram, wa peyi Izrayèl la, ansanm ak wa peyi Jida a ak wa peyi Edon an pati. Yo pase sèt jou ap mache. Lè sa a dlo yo fini, pa t' gen yon ti gout dlo ni pou sòlda yo ni pou bèt chay ki te avè yo. 10 Joram, wa peyi Izrayèl la, di: —Woy! Nou fini! Seyè a fè nou tou twa vin isit la ansanm pou l' lage nou nan men wa Moab la. 11 Jozafa mande: —Pa gen yon pwofèt bò isit la ki ta ka pale ak Seyè a pou nou? Yonn nan chèf wa peyi Izrayèl yo di: —Bò isit la gen Elize, pitit gason Chafa a. Se li ki t'ap sèvi ak Eli. 12 Jozafa di: —Sèten l'ap gen kichòy pou l' di nou nan non Seyè a! Se konsa wa peyi Izrayèl la ansanm ak Jozafa ak wa peyi Edon an pati, y' al wè Elize. 13 Elize di wa Izrayèl la konsa: —Ki rapò m' gen avè ou! Al wè pwofèt papa ou ak manman ou te konn al wè yo! Joram reponn: —Non! Se Seyè a ki voye chache nou pou l' lage nou twa wa sa yo nan men wa peyi Moab la. 14 Elize reponn: —Mwen pran Seyè vivan m'ap sèvi a pou temwen! Si mwen pa t' gen respè pou Jozafa, wa peyi Jida a, m' pa ta menm gade ou, m' pa ta okipe ou. 15 Koulye a, al chache yon mizisyen pou mwen. Pandan mizisyen an t'ap jwe mizik, pouvwa Seyè a desann sou Elize. 16 Elize di: —Men sa Seyè a di: Fouye anpil gwo twou nan fon ravin sa a. 17 Paske, men sa li di ankò: Nou p'ap wè van, nou p'ap wè lapli, men ravin sa a pral plen dlo. Konsa n'a jwenn kont dlo pou nou bwè ansanm ak bèf, kabrit nou yo ak bèt chay nou yo. 18 Men tou sa pa anyen bò kote sa Seyè a ka fè. Li pral lage moun peyi Moab yo nan men nou. 19 Nou pral pran tout bèl lavil ak ranpa yo, nou pral koupe tout bèl pyebwa yo, nou pral bouche tout sous dlo yo. Nou pral gate tout pi bèl jaden yo, nou pral kouvri yo ak wòch. 20 Nan denmen maten, lè lè pou yo fè ofrann lan rive, yon dlo soti nan direksyon Edon, li kouvri tout tè a. 21 Lè moun Moab yo pran nouvèl twa wa yo te moute vin atake yo, tout gason ki te gen laj pou pote zam, gran kou piti, yo sanble, y' al mase kò yo sou fwontyè a. 22 Nan denmen maten, lè yo leve, limyè solèy la t'ap bat sou dlo a. Li bay dlo a yon koulè wouj, moun Moab yo te kwè se san. 23 Yo di: —Gade san! Lame wa yo gen lè goumen yonn ak lòt, yonn touye lòt. Ann al piye kan yo! 24 Men lè moun Moab yo rive nan kan moun Izrayèl yo, moun Izrayèl yo tonbe sou yo, yo kòmanse bat yo. Moun Moab yo pran kouri. Moun Izrayèl yo antre dèyè yo nan peyi Moab, yo touye tout moun Moab ki tonbe anba men yo. 25 Yo detwi lavil yo. Chak fwa yo rive bò yon bèl jaden, chak moun pran wòch, yo voye ladan l' jouk jaden an kouvri nèt ak wòch. Yo bouche tout sous dlo yo, yo koupe tout bèl pyebwa yo. Sèl kote ki te rete kanpe se te lavil Kiraresèt, kapital la. Sòlda yo sènen l', yo atake l' ak kout wòch. 26 Lè wa peyi Moab la wè li t'ap pèdi batay la, li pran sètsan (0700) sòlda avè l'. Avèk nepe yo, yo chache mwayen pou yo pase nan mitan sòlda Izrayèl yo al fè wout yo nan direksyon peyi Edon, men yo pa t' kapab. 27 Lè sa a, wa peyi Moab la pran premye pitit gason l' lan, sa ki te pou pran plas li sou fotèy la, li ofri l' bay bondye peyi Moab la, li touye l' sou tèt miray lavil la. Lè moun Izrayèl yo wè sa, yo pè pou malè pa rive yo. Yo rale kò yo dèyè, yo tounen nan peyi yo.

2 Wa 3:1-2
2Ki 3:1-3. Jehoram's Evil Reign over Israel.
1-2. Jehoram the son of Ahab began to reign over Israel in Samaria the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat--(compare 1Ki 22:51). To reconcile the statements in the two passages, we must suppose that Ahaziah, having reigned during the seventeenth and the greater part of the eighteenth year of Jehoshaphat, was succeeded by his brother Joram or Jehoram, in the end of that eighteenth year, or else that Ahaziah, having reigned two years in conjunction with his father, died at the end of that period when Jehoram ascended the throne. His policy was as hostile as that of his predecessors to the true religion; but he made some changes. Whatever was his motive for this alteration--whether dread of the many alarming judgments the patronage of idolatry had brought upon his father; or whether it was made as a small concession to the feelings of Jehoshaphat, his ally, he abolished idolatry in its gross form and restored the symbolic worship of God, which the kings of Israel, from the time of Jeroboam, had set up as a partition wall between their subjects and those of Judah.
2 Wa 3:4-6
4-6. Mesha king of Moab, &c.--As his dominions embraced an extensive pasture country, he paid, as annual tribute, the wool of a hundred thousand lambs and a hundred thousand rams. It is still common in the East to pay custom and taxes in the fruits or natural produce of the land.
2 Wa 3:8-12
8-12. Which way shall we go up? And he answered, The way through the wilderness of Edom--This was a long and circuitous route, by the southern bend of the Dead Sea. Jehoshaphat however preferred it, partly because the part of the Moabite territory at which they would arrive, was the most defenseless; and partly because he would thereby enlist, in the expedition, the forces of the king of Edom. But, in penetrating the deep, rocky valley of Ahsy, which forms the boundary between Edom and Moab, the confederate army was reduced, both man and beast, to the greatest extremities for want of water. They were disappointed by finding the wady of this valley, the brook Zered (De 2:13-18) [Robinson], dry. Jehoram was in despair. But the pious mind of Jehoshaphat inquired for a prophet of the Lord; and, on being informed that Elisha was at hand, the three kings "went down to him"; that is, to his tent, which was either in the camp, or close by it. He had been directed thither by the Spirit of God for this special purpose. They went to him, not only as a mark of respect, but to supplicate for his assistance.
2 Wa 3:13-14
13-14. What have I to do with thee? &c.--Wishing to produce a deep spirit of humility and contrition, Elisha gave a stern repulse to the king of Israel, accompanied by a sarcastic sneer, in bidding him go and consult Baal and his soothsayers. But the distressed condition, especially the imploring language, of the royal suppliants, who acknowledged the hand of the Lord in this distress, drew from the prophet the solemn assurance, that solely out of respect to Jehoshaphat, the Lord's true servant, did he take any interest in Jehoram.
2 Wa 3:15
15. bring me a minstrel--The effect of music in soothing the mind is much regarded in the East; and it appears that the ancient prophets, before entering their work, commonly resorted to it, as a preparative, by praise and prayer, to their receiving the prophetic afflatus.
the hand of the Lord--a phrase significantly implying that the gift of prophecy was not a natural or inherent gift, but conferred by the power and grace of God.
2 Wa 3:16
16. Make this valley full of ditches--capable of holding water.
2 Wa 3:17
17. Ye shall not see wind--It is common in the East to speak of seeing wind, from the clouds of straw, dust, or sand, that are often whirled into the air, after a long drought.
2 Wa 3:20-24
20-24. when the meat offering was offered--that is, at the time of the morning sacrifice, accompanied, doubtless, with solemn prayers; and these led, it may be, by Elisha on this occasion, as on a similar one by Elijah (1Ki 18:36).
behold, there came water by the way of Edom--Far from the Israelitish camp, in the eastern mountains of Edom, a great fall of rain, a kind of cloudburst, took place, by which the wady was at once filled, but they saw neither the wind nor the rains. The divine interposition was shown by introducing the laws of nature to the determined end in the predetermined way [Keil]. It brought not only aid to the Israelitish army in their distress, by a plentiful supply of water, but destruction on the Moabites, who, perceiving the water, under the refulgent rays of the morning sun, red like blood, concluded the confederate kings had quarrelled and deluged the field with their mutual slaughter; so that, rushing to their camp in full expectation of great spoil, they were met by the Israelites, who, prepared for battle, fought and pursued them. Their country was laid waste in the way, which has always been considered the greatest desolation in the East (2Ki 3:24).
2 Wa 3:25
25. Kir-haraseth--(now Kerak)--Castle of Moab--then, probably, the only fortress in the land.
2 Wa 3:27
27. took his eldest son that should have reigned in his stead, and offered him for a burnt offering, &c.--By this deed of horror, to which the allied army drove the king of Moab, a divine judgment came upon Israel; that is, the besiegers feared the anger of God, which they had incurred by giving occasion to the human sacrifice forbidden in the law (Le 18:21; 20:3), and hastily raised the siege.
