2 Kings 5
1 Naaman, the leader of the military of the king of Syria, was a great and honorable man with his lord. For through him the Lord gave salvation to Syria. And he was a strong and rich man, but a leper.
Alò, Naaman, kapitèn lame a wa Syrie a, te yon mesye enpòtan a mèt li e li te estime anpil. Akoz li menm, SENYÈ a te bay yon viktwa pou Syrie. Anplis, mesye a te yon gèrye gran kouraj, men li te gen lalèp.
2 Now robbers had gone out from Syria, and they had led away captive, from the land of Israel, a little girl. And she was in the service of the wife of Naaman.
Alò, Siryen yo te sòti pa ekip e yo te pran an kaptivite yon jenn tifi nan peyi Israël; epi li te sèvi madanm a Naaman an.
3 And she said to her lady: “I wish that my lord had been with the prophet who is in Samaria. Certainly, he would have cured him of the leprosy that he has.”
Li te pale konsa a mètrès li a: “Mwen ta tèlman vle ke mèt mwen an te avèk pwofèt Samarie a! Konsa, li ta geri li pou l pa gen lalèp la.”
4 And so, Naaman entered to his lord, and he reported to him, saying: “The girl from the land of Israel spoke in such a manner.”
Naaman te antre kote mèt li a e te di: “Men konsa, fi ki sòti peyi Israël la te pale.”
5 And the king of Syria said to him, “Go, and I will send a letter to the king of Israel.” And when he had set out, he had taken with him ten talents of silver, and six thousand gold coins, and ten changes of fine clothing.
Alò, wa Syrie a te di: “Ale koulye a e mwen va voye yon lèt kote wa Israël la.” Li te sòti e te pran avè l dis talan ajan ak si-mil sik an lò ak dis echanj vètman konplè.
6 And he brought the letter to the king of Israel, in these words: “When you will receive this letter, know that I have sent to you my servant, Naaman, so that you may heal him of his leprosy.”
Li te mennen lèt la bay wa Israël la ki te di: “Epi koulye a, kòmsi lèt sa a rive bò kote ou, men vwala, mwen te voye Naaman, sèvitè mwen an kote ou, pou ou kab geri li nan afè lalèp sila a.”
7 And when the king of Israel had read the letter, he tore his garments, and he said: “Am I God, so that I could take or give life, or so that this man would send to me to cure a man from his leprosy? Take notice and see that he is seeking occasions against me.”
Lè wa Israël la te li lèt sa a, li te chire rad li. Li te di: “Èske se Bondye mwen ye, pou m kab touye e fè viv, pou nonm sa ta voye kote mwen pou geri yon mesye ki gen lalèp? Men gade byen kijan l ap chache yon kont avè m.”
8 And when Elisha, the man of God, had heard this, specifically, that the king of Israel had torn his garments, he sent to him, saying: “Why have you torn your garments? Let him come to me, and let him know that there is a prophet in Israel.”
Li te rive ke lè Élisée, nonm Bondye a te tande ke wa Israël la te chire rad li, li te voye kote wa a e te di: “Poukisa ou chire rad ou konsa? Koulye a, kite li vin kote mwen e li va konnen ke gen yon pwofèt an Israël.”
9 Therefore, Naaman arrived with his horses and chariots, and he stood at the door of the house of Elisha.
Konsa, Naaman te vini avèk cheval li yo ak cha li yo e te kanpe devan pòtay lakay Élisée.
10 And Elisha sent a messenger to him, saying, “Go, and wash seven times in the Jordan, and your flesh will receive health, and you will be clean.”
Élisée te voye yon mesaje kote li ki te di: “Ale benyen nan Jourdain an sèt fwa. Chè ou va restore a ou menm e ou va vin pwòp.”
11 And becoming angry, Naaman went away, saying: “I thought that he would have come out to me, and, standing, would have invoked the name of the Lord, his God, and that he would have touched the place of the leprosy with his hand, and so have healed me.
Men Naaman te vin byen fache. Li te sòti e te di: “Gade byen, mwen te konnen ke asireman, li ta parèt deyò kote mwen, kanpe pou rele non SENYÈ a, Bondye li a e voye men li sou plas pou geri moun lalèp la.
12 Are not the Abana and the Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel, so that I might wash in them and be cleansed?” But then, after he had turned himself away and was leaving with indignation,
Èske rivyè Abana avèk Parpar nan Damas yo pa pi bon ke tout flèv Israël yo? Èske mwen pa t kab lave m nan yo e vin pwòp?” Konsa, li te vire sòti byen anraje.
13 his servants approached him, and they said to him: “If the prophet had told you, father, to do something great, certainly you ought to have done it. How much more so, now that he has said to you: ‘Wash, and you will be clean?’”
Alò, sèvitè li yo te pwoche; yo te pale avèk li e te di: “Papa mwen, si pwofèt la te di ou pou fè yon gwo bagay, èske ou pa t ap fè l. Konbyen, anplis, lè li di ou ‘Lave ou pou vin pwòp?’”
14 So he descended and washed in the Jordan seven times, in accord with the word of the man of God. And his flesh was restored, like the flesh of a little child. And he was made clean.
Pou sa, li te desann e te fonse kò l sèt fwa nan Jourdain an, selon pawòl a nonm Bondye a; epi chè li te restore tankou chè a yon timoun, e li te vin pwòp.
15 And returning to the man of God, with his entire retinue, he arrived, and stood before him, and he said: “Truly, I know there is no other God, in all the earth, except in Israel. And so I beg you to accept a blessing from your servant.”
Lè li te retounen kote nonm Bondye a avèk tout konpanyen li e te vin kanpe devan li, li te di: “Gade byen, koulye a, mwen konnen ke nanpwen lòt Dye nan tout tè a, sof ke an Israël. Pou sa, souple, aksepte yon kado nan men sèvitè ou a depi koulye a.”
16 But he responded, “As the Lord lives, before whom I stand, I will not accept it.” And though he urged him strongly, he did not agree at all.
Men li te di: “Jan SENYÈ a viv la, devan sila mwen kanpe a, mwen p ap pran anyen.” Konsa, li te ankouraje l pran, men li te refize.
17 And Naaman said: “As you wish. But I beg you to grant to me, your servant, that I may take from here the burden of two mules from the ground. For your servant will no longer offer holocaust or victim to other gods, except to the Lord.
Naaman te di: “Malgre, si se pa sa, souple, bay sèvitè ou a chaj de milèt tè; paske sèvitè ou a p ap ofri ofrann brile ni sakrifis a lòt dye, men a SENYÈ a.
18 But there is still this matter, for which you will entreat the Lord on behalf of your servant: when my lord enters the temple of Rimmon, so that he may adore there, and he leans on my hand, if I will bow down in the temple of Rimmon, while he is adoring in the same place, that the Lord may ignore me, your servant, concerning this matter.”
Nan ka sa a, ke SENYÈ a kapab padone sèvitè ou a: lè mèt mwen antre nan kay Rimmon an, pou adore la, li va apiye sou men m e mwen va bese lakay Rimmon an, pou SENYÈ a kapab padone sèvitè ou a nan ka sa a.”
19 And he said to him, “Go in peace.” Then he went away from him, in the elect time of the earth.
Li te di li: “Ale anpè.” Konsa, li te pati de li a yon distans.
20 And Gehazi, the servant of the man of God, said: “My lord has spared Naaman, this Syrian, by not receiving from him what he brought. As the Lord lives, I will run after him, and take something from him.”
Men Guéhazi, sèvitè Élisée a, nonm Bondye a, te reflechi: “Men gade, mèt mwen an te konsève Naaman sila a, Siryen an, pwiske li pa resevwa nan men l sa ke li te pote a. Jan SENYÈ a viv la, mwen ap kouri dèyè l e pran yon bagay de li menm.”
21 And so, Gehazi followed after the back of Naaman. And when he had seen him running toward him, he leaped down from his chariot to meet him, and he said, “Is all well?”
Konsa, Guéhazi te kouri dèyè Naaman. Lè Naaman te wè yon moun vin kouri dèyè li, li te desann cha a pou rankontre li. Li te di: “Èske tout bagay byen?”
22 And he said: “It is well. My lord has sent me to you, saying: ‘Just now two youths from the sons of the prophets have come to me from mount Ephraim. Give them a talent of silver, and two changes of clothing.’”
Li te di: “Tout bagay byen. Mèt mwen an voye mwen. Li te di: ‘Gade byen, soti koulye a, de jenn mesye ki pami fis a pwofèt yo te vin kote mwen soti nan peyi ti mòn Ephraïm yo. Souple, ba yo yon talan ajan ak de echanj konplè nan vètman yo.’”
23 And Naaman said, “It is better that you accept two talents.” And he urged him, and he bound the two talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of clothing. And he set them upon two of his servants, who carried them before him.
Naaman te di: “Avèk plezi, pran de talan yo.” Epi li te ankouraje li. Li te mare de talan ajan yo nan de sak avèk de echanj konplè nan rad yo, e li te bay yo a de sèvitè li yo, epi yo te pote yo devan li.
24 And when now he had arrived in the evening, he took them from their hands, and he stored them in the house. And he dismissed the men, and they went away.
Lè li te rive kote ti mòn nan, li te pran yo soti nan men yo, li te mete yo nan kay la, li te voye mesye yo ale e yo te pati.
25 Then, having entered, he stood before his lord. And Elisha said, “Where are you coming from, Gehazi?” He responded, “Your servant did not go anywhere.”
Men li te antre ladann e te kanpe devan mèt li. Konsa, Elisée te di li: “Kote ou te ye Guéhazi?” Li te reponn: “Sèvitè ou a pa t ale okenn kote non.”
26 But he said: “Was my heart not present, when the man turned back from his chariot to meet you? And now you have received money, and you have received garments, so that you might buy olive groves, and vineyards, and sheep, and oxen, and men and women servants.
Epi li te di l: “Èske kè m pa t sòti lè mesye a te vire kite cha li pou vin rankontre ou a? Èske sa se lè pou resevwa lajan, pou resevwa rad, chan doliv avèk chan rezen, avèk mouton ak bèf ak sèvitè avèk sèvant?
27 So then, the leprosy of Naaman shall adhere to you, and to your offspring forever.” And he departed from him a leper, as white as snow.
Pou sa, lalèp Naaman an ap kole sou ou avèk desandan ou yo jis pou tout tan.” Konsa, li te kite prezans li kon yon lèp blan tankou lanèj.
