2 Kings 2
1 Now when the Lord was about to take Elijah up to heaven in a great wind, Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal.
Lè a te rive pou Seyè a te fè Eli moute nan syèl nan yon toubouyon. Eli ak Elize pati ansanm, yo kite lavil Gilgal.
2 And Elijah said to Elisha, Come no farther for the Lord has sent me to Beth-el. But Elisha said, As the Lord is living and as your soul is living, I will not be parted from you. So they went down to Beth-el.
Eli di Elize konsa: —Ou mèt rete isit la tande, paske Seyè a ban m' lòd pou m' al Betèl. Men, Elize reponn li: —Mwen pran ou menm ansanm ak Seyè ki vivan an pou temwen, mwen p'ap kite ou ale pou kont ou. Se konsa yo pati ansanm pou lavil Betèl.
3 And at Beth-el the sons of the prophets came out to Elisha and said, Has it been made clear to you that the Lord is going to take away your master from over you today? And he said, Yes, I have knowledge of it: say no more.
Men, yon gwoup pwofèt ki te rive lavil Betèl vin kontre Elize, yo di l' konsa: —Ou pa konnen Seyè a pral pran mèt ou a jòdi a? Elize reponn yo: —Mwen konn sa wi. Men nou menm, nou pa bezwen di anyen ankò!
4 Then Elijah said to him, Come no farther, for the Lord has sent me to Jericho. But he said, As the Lord is living and as your soul is living, I will not be parted from you. So they went on to Jericho.
Apre sa, Eli di Elize: —Koulye a ou mèt rete isit la tande, paske Seyè a te ban m' lòd pou m' al Jeriko. Men, Elize reponn li: —Mwen pran ou menm ansanm ak Seyè ki vivan an pou temwen, mwen p'ap kite ou ale pou kont ou. Se konsa yo pati ansanm pou lavil Jeriko.
5 And at Jericho the sons of the prophets came up to Elisha and said to him, Has it been made clear to you that the Lord is going to take away your master from over you today? And he said in answer, Yes, I have knowledge of it: say no more.
Yon gwoup pwofèt ki te rete lavil Jeriko vin kontre Elize, yo di l' konsa: —Ou pa konnen Seyè a pral pran mèt ou a jòdi a? Elize reponn: —Mwen konn sa wi! Men nou menm, nou pa bezwen di anyen ankò.
6 Then Elijah said to him, Come no farther, for the Lord has sent me to Jordan. But he said, As the Lord is living and as your soul is living, I will not be parted from you. So they went on together.
Apre sa, Eli di Elize: —Koulye a ou mèt rete isit la tande, paske Seyè a ban m' lòd pou m' al bò larivyè Jouden. Men, Elize reponn li: —Mwen pran ou menm ansanm ak Seyè ki vivan an pou temwen, mwen p'ap kite ou ale pou kont ou. Se konsa yo pati ansanm ankò.
7 And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went out and took their places facing them a long way off, while the two of them were by the edge of Jordan.
Senkant nan pwofèt Jeriko yo t'ap mache dèyè yo. Eli ak Elize rete bò larivyè Jouden an. Senkant pwofèt yo menm rete yon ti distans lwen yo.
8 Then Elijah took off his robe, and, rolling it up, gave the water a blow with it, and the waters were parted, flowing back this way and that, so that they went over on dry land.
Eli wete gwo rad ki te sou li a, li woule l', li frape dlo a avè l'. Dlo a fann de bò. Eli ak Elize janbe lòt bò larivyè a san pye yo pa mouye.
9 And when they had come to the other side, Elijah said to Elisha, Say what you would have me do for you before I am taken from you. And Elisha said, Be pleased to let a special measure of your spirit be on me.
Lè yo fin janbe, Eli di Elize konsa: —Di m' kisa ou ta vle m' fè pou ou anvan Bondye pran m'. Elize reponn li: —Mwen ta renmen resevwa yon pòsyon doub nan lespri ki sou ou a.
10 And he said, You have made a hard request: still, if you see me when I am taken from you, you will get your desire; but if not, it will not be so.
Eli di li: —Sa ou mande m' la a pa fasil. Men, si ou wè m' ak je ou lè m'ap kite ou la, w'ap jwenn sa ou mande a. Men, si ou pa wè m', w'a konnen ou p'ap jwenn li.
11 And while they went on their way, going on talking together, suddenly there were carriages and horses of fire separating them from one another and Elijah went up to heaven in a great wind.
Yo t'ap mache ansanm, yo t'ap pale yonn ak lòt lè yon cha dife ak chwal dife vin nan mitan yo. Epi li pote Eli moute nan syèl nan yon gwo toubouyon.
12 And when Elisha saw it he gave a cry, My father, my father, the carriages of Israel and its horsemen! And he saw him no longer; and he was full of grief.
Lè Elize wè sa, li rele Eli, li di: —Papa mwen! papa mwen! Ou menm ki te tankou yon gwo lame pou pran defans peyi Izrayèl la, ou ale! Epi li pa wè Eli ankò. Yon sèl lapenn pran Elize, li chire rad ki te sou li a fè de moso.
13 Then he took up Elijah's robe, which had been dropped from him, and went back till he came to the edge of Jordan.
Lèfini, li ranmase gwo rad ki te soti sou zepòl Eli tonbe atè a, epi li tounen. Rive bò larivyè Jouden an li kanpe.
14 And he took Elijah's robe, which had been dropped from him, and giving the water a blow with it, said, Where is the Lord, the God of Elijah? and at his blow the waters were parted this way and that; and Elisha went over.
Li frape dlo a ak rad ki te soti sou zepòl Eli a, epi li di byen fò: —Kote Seyè a, Bondye Eli a? Li frape dlo a yon dezyèm fwa ak rad Eli a. Dlo a fann de bò. Elize janbe lòt bò larivyè a.
15 And when the sons of the prophets who were facing him at Jericho saw him, they said, The spirit of Elijah is resting on Elisha. And they came out to him, and went down on the earth before him.
Lè pwofèt Jeriko yo ki te pi devan an wè sa, yo di: —Lespri Eli a sou Elize! Yo vin jwenn li, yo bese tèt yo jouk atè devan l'.
16 And they said, Your servants have with us here fifty strong men; be pleased to let them go in search of Elijah; for it may be that the spirit of the Lord has taken him up and put him down on some mountain or in some valley. But he said, Do not send them.
Yo di li: —Koute. Gen senkant nan nou la a. Nou tout se vanyan gason. Kite n' al chache mèt ou a. Ou pa janm konnen. Lespri Bondye a ka pran l' al lage sou yon mòn osinon nan yon fon. Men, Elize di yo: —Non. Pa voye pesonn dèyè l'.
17 But when they kept on requesting him, he was shamed and said, Send, then. So they sent fifty men; but after searching for three days, they came back without having seen him.
Men yo kenbe la avè l' jouk li di yo: —Bon. Nou mèt ale! Se konsa yo voye senkant moun yo al chache Eli. Yo pase twa jou ap chache, yo pa jwenn li.
18 And they came back to him, while he was still at Jericho; and he said to them, Did I not say to you, Go not?
Yo tounen al jwenn Elize ki te rete ap tann yo lavil Jeriko. Elize di yo: —Mwen pa t' di nou nou pa t' bezwen ale!
19 Now the men of the town said to Elisha, You see that the position of this town is good; but the water is bad, causing the young of the cattle to come to birth dead.
Moun lavil Jeriko yo vin di Elize: —Mèt, lavil la bati nan yon bon pozisyon, jan ou ka wè l' la. Men, dlo a pa bon, li fè tè a pa bay anyen.
20 So he said, Get me a new vessel, and put salt in it; and they took it to him.
Elize di yo: —Pote ti gout sèl nan yon bòl tou nèf ban mwen! Yo pote veso sèl la bay Elize.
21 Then he went out to the spring from which the water came, and put salt in it, and said, The Lord says, Now I have made this water sweet; no longer will it be death-giving or unfertile.
Elize moute nan sous la, li voye sèl jete nan dlo a. Lèfini, li di: —Men sa Seyè a di: M'ap netwaye dlo sa a. Li p'ap janm touye moun ankò, ni li p'ap fè tè a rete san donnen anyen.
22 And the water was made sweet again to this day, as Elisha said.
Depi lè sa a dlo a vin bon jouk jounen jòdi a, jan Elize te di l' la.
23 Then from there he went up to Beth-el; and on his way, some little boys came out from the town and made sport of him, crying, Go up, old no-hair! go up, old no-hair!
Elize kite lavil Jeriko, l' ale lavil Betèl. Li t'ap mache sou chemen an konsa, lè yon bann ti gason soti lavil la, yo pran pase l' nan betiz, yo t'ap rele: —Al fè wout ou, tèt chòv! Al fè wout ou, tèt chòv!
24 And turning back, he saw them, and put a curse on them in the name of the Lord. And two she-bears came out of the wood and put forty-two of the children to death.
Elize vire, li gade ti gason yo, li ba yo madichon nan non Seyè a. Lamenm, de lous soti nan rakbwa a, yo dechire karannde nan ti gason yo.
25 From there he went to Mount Carmel, and came back from there to Samaria.
Apre sa, Elize ale mòn Kamèl. Lèfini li tounen lavil Samari.
