< 2 Kings 4 >
1 The wife of one of the sons of the prophets appealed to Elisha, “My husband, your servant, is dead, and you know that he honored the Lord. But now to pay his debts his creditor is coming to take my two sons as his slaves!”
Alò, yon sèten fanm pami madanm fis a pwofèt yo te kriye kont Élisée: “Sèvitè ou a, mari mwen an mouri e ou konnen ke sèvitè ou te gen lakrent SENYÈ a. Konsa, mesye ki vèse prè kòb la, gen tan parèt pou pran de pitit mwen yo kòm esklav li.”
2 “What can I do to help you?” asked Elisha. “Tell me, what do you have in your house?” “I, your servant, don't have anything in my house except a jar of olive oil,” she replied.
Élisée te di li: “Kisa pou m ta fè pou ou? Di mwen kisa ou gen nan kay la?” Epi li te di: “Sèvant ou pa gen anyen nan kay la sof ke yon bokal lwil.”
3 “Go and borrow empty jars from your neighbors—as many as possible, not just a few,” Elisha told her.
Alò, li te di: “Ale, prete veso vid toupatou pou kont ou nan men tout vwazen ou yo. Pa manke pran anpil.
4 “Then go inside, shut the door behind you and your sons, and start pouring olive oil into all these jars, placing the full jars to one side.”
Ou va antre anndan, fèmen pòt la dèyè ou avèk fis ou yo, vide nan tout veso sa yo, e sa ki plen yo, mete yo akote.”
5 She left Elisha, went home, and shut the door behind her and her sons. They brought the jars to her and she kept on pouring.
Konsa, li te ale kite li e te fèmen pòt la dèyè li avèk fis li yo. Yo t ap mennen veso kote li pou l te plen.
6 When all the jars were full, she told her son, “Bring me another one.” But he replied, “There aren't any jars left.” Then the olive oil stopped flowing.
Lè tout veso yo te plen li te di a fis li yo: “Mennen ban mwen yon lòt veso.” Epi li reponn li: “Nanpwen menm yon veso ankò.” Konsa, lwil la te sispann.
7 She went and told the man of God what had happened, and he said, “Go and sell the olive oil and pay your debts, and you and your sons can live on what's left.”
Alò, li te vin pale nonm Bondye a. Li te di l: “Ale vann lwil la pou peye dèt ou. Epi ou menm avèk fis ou yo kab viv sou sa ki rete a.”
8 One day as Elisha was passing through Shunem, a wealthy woman who lived there convinced him to have a meal. After that, whenever he was passing by he would stop there to eat.
Alò, te vin rive yon jou lè Élisée te pase bò kote Sunem, kote te gen yon fanm enpòtan. Konsa, fanm nan te konvenk li manje pen. Se konsa li te vin rive, ke nenpòt lè li te pase, li te vire antre la pou manje pen.
9 She told her husband, “I'm sure that this man who regularly visits us is a holy man of God.
Fanm nan te di a mari li: “Gade byen, mwen apèsi ke sa se yon nonm sen a Bondye k ap pase bò kote nou tout tan.
10 Please let's make a small room on the roof, We can put a bed, a table, a chair, and a lamp in it for him. Then he can stay there whenever he visits us.”
Souple, annou fè yon ti chanm sou twati kay la. Annou mete yon kabann pou li la, avèk yon tab ak chèz avèk yon chandelye. Konsa li va ye ke lè li vini kote nou, li kapab vire antre la.”
11 One day Elisha arrived and went up to his room and lay down.
Yon jou, li te vini la e te vire antre nan chanm anwo a pou te repoze.
12 He said to his servant Gehazi, “Ask the Shunammite woman to come here.” Gehazi called her and she came to see Elisha.
Konsa li te di a Guéhazi, sèvitè li a: “Rele fanm Sinamit lan.” Epi lè li te fin rele li, li te parèt kanpe devan l.
13 Elisha said to Gehazi, “Please tell her, ‘You have gone to a lot of trouble on our behalf. Now what can we do for you? Do you want us to speak for you to the king or the army commander?’” “I live with my own people,” she replied.
Li te di Guéhazi: “Koulye a di li: ‘Gade, ou te byen pran swen nou avèk tout swen sila a. Se kisa nou kapab fè pou ou? Èske ou ta renmen m pale ak wa a pou ou, oswa kapitèn lame a?’” Li te reponn: “Mwen rete pami pwòp pèp pa m.”
14 After she had left, Elisha asked, “What can we do for her?” “She doesn't have a son, and her husband is old,” Gehazi replied.
Konsa, li te mande: “Alò, se kisa ki kab fèt pou li?” Epi Guéhazi te reponn: “Anverite, li pa gen fis, e mari li fin granmoun.”
15 Elisha said, “Ask her to come back.” So Gehazi called her, and she came stood by the door.
Li te di: “Rele li.” Lè li te rele li, li te kanpe nan pòtay la.
16 Elisha told her, “Around this time next year, you will be holding a son in your arms.” “No, my lord!” she responded. “Man of God, don't tell your servant lies!”
Epi li te di: “Nan sezon sila nan ane k ap vini an, ou va anbrase yon fis.” Epi li te reponn: “Non, mèt mwen, O nonm Bondye a, pa bay manti a sèvant ou.”
17 But the woman did indeed become pregnant, and the next year around that same time she gave birth to a son, just as Elisha had promised her.
Konsa, Fanm nan te vin ansent e te fè yon fis nan menm sezon sa a nan ane ki vini an, jan Élisée te pale li a.
18 The child grew up, but one day he when went out to see his father who was with the reapers,
Lè pitit la te fin grandi, jou a te rive pou li te ale kote papa li avèk moun rekòlt yo.
19 he complained to his father, “My head hurts! My head hurts!” His father told one of his servants, “Carry him back to his mother.”
Li te di a papa li: “Tèt mwen, tèt mwen.” Epi papa l te pale sèvitè li: “Pote li bay manman li.”
20 The servant picked him up and took him back to his mother. The boy sat on her lap until noon, and then he died.
Lè li te pran li pou te mennen li bay manman l, li te chita sou jenou li jis rive midi e li te mouri.
21 She went upstairs and laid him on the bed of the man of God. Then she shut the door behind her and left.
Li te monte anlè a, li te kouche li sou kabann nonm Bondye a, li te fèmen pòt la dèyè l e li te sòti.
22 She called her husband and said, “Please send me one of the servants and a donkey so I can run to the man of God and come back.”
Konsa, li te rele mari li, e li te di l: “Souple, voye ban m youn nan bourik yo pou m ka al jwenn nonm Bondye a epi tounen.”
23 “Why do you need to go and see him today?” he asked. “It's not the New Moon or the Sabbath.” “Don't worry about it,” she replied.
Li te di, “Poukisa ou w ap al kote l jodi a? Lalin pa nèf, ni li pa Saba a.” Li te reponn: “L ap bon.”
24 She put the saddle on the donkey and told her servant, “Let's go quickly! Don't slow down for me unless I tell you to!”
Alò, li te sele yon bourik e te di a sèvitè li: “Kondwi pou avanse! Pa ralanti vitès sof ke se mwen ki di ou sa.”
25 So she set off, and went to the man of God who was at Mount Carmel. When he saw her way in the distance, the man of God told his servant Gehazi, “Look! There's the Shunammite woman!
Konsa li te ale e te vin kote nonm Bondye a sou Mòn Carmel. Lè nonm Bondye a te wè li a yon distans li te di a Guéhazi, sèvitè li a: “Men vwala se Sinamit lan.
26 Please run to meet her and ask her, ‘Is everything fine with you, your husband, and your boy?’” “Everything's fine,” she replied.
Souple, kouri koulye a rankontre li, epi mande li: ‘Èske tout bagay byen pou ou? Èske sa byen pou mari ou? Èske sa byen pou fis ou a?’” Konsa, li te reponn: “L ap bon”.
27 But when she got to the man of God at the mountain, she grabbed hold of his feet. Gehazi came over to push her away, but the man of God said, “Leave her alone, for she's in terrible misery, but the Lord has hidden it from me and has not explained it to me.”
Lè l te rive kote nonm Bondye a sou ti mòn nan, li te kenbe de pye li. Guéhazi te parèt pou pouse l fè l sòti; men nonm Bondye a te di: “Kite li, paske nanm li twouble anndan l. SENYÈ a te kache sa de mwen sa, e pa t di m sa.”
28 “Did I ask you for a son, my lord?” she asked. “Didn't I tell you, ‘Don't tell me lies’?”
Fanm nan te di: “Èske mwen te mande mèt mwen pou yon fis? Èske mwen pa t di ou: ‘Pa twonpe m’?”
29 Elisha said to Gehazi, “Put your cloak in your belt, pick up my staff, and go! Don't even say hello to anyone you meet, and if anyone says hello you, don't reply. Place my staff on the boy's face.”
Alò, li te di a Guéhazi: “Mare senti ou, pran baton mwen nan men ou pou al fè wout ou. Si ou rankontre nenpòt moun, pa salye li, e si nenpòt moun salye ou, pa reponn li. Al mete baton mwen an kouche sou figi gason an.”
30 But the boy's mother said, “As the Lord lives and as you live, I'm not leaving without you!” So he got up and went with her.
Manman a gason an te di: “Jan SENYÈ a viv la, e jan ou menm viv la, mwen p ap kite ou.” Konsa, li te leve e te swiv li.
31 Gehazi ran on ahead and placed the staff on the boy's face, but there was no sound or sign of life. So Gehazi went back to meet Elisha and told him, “The boy hasn't woken up.”
Guéhazi te pase devan yo e te kouche baton an sou figi a gason an, men li pa t fè bwi, ni li pa t reponn. Konsa, li te retounen rankontre Élisée e te di li: “Gason an pa t leve.”
32 When Elisha got to the house, there was the boy, lying dead on his bed.
Lè Élisée te vini nan kay la, men vwala, gason an te kouche tou mouri sou kabann li an.
33 He went in, shut the door behind them both, and prayed to the Lord.
Pou sa, li te antre fèmen pòt la dèyè yo toude a, e te priye a SENYÈ a.
34 Then he got on the bed and lay on top of the boy, and put his mouth on the boy's mouth, his eyes on the boy's eyes, his hands on the boy's hands. As he stretched out on him, the boy's body warmed up.
Konsa, li te pwoche kouche sou pitit la, li te mete bouch li sou bouch pa li, zye li sou zye pa li, men li sou men pa li. Li te lonje kò li sou li, e chè pitit la te kòmanse vin cho.
35 Elisha got up, walked back and forth once in the room, and then got back on the bed and stretched out on him again. The boy sneezed seven times and then opened his eyes.
Li te retounen nan kay la e te mache yon fwa ale retou, epi li te monte lonje li menm sou li. Gason an te touse sèt fwa e gason an te ouvri zye li.
36 Elisha called Gehazi and said, “Ask the Shunammite woman to come.” So he did. When she arrived, Elisha said to her, “Here's your son. You can pick him up.”
Li te rele Guéhazi e te di: “Rele Sinamit lan.” Konsa, li te rele li. Lè li te antre kote li, li te di: “Ranmase pran pitit ou a.”
37 She came in, fell at his feet, and bowed to the ground. Then she picked up her son and left.
Alò, fanm nan te antre anndan; li te tonbe nan pye li e li te bese li menm jis atè. Epi li te pran fis li, e te sòti.
38 When Elisha went back to Gilgal, there was a famine in that area. The sons of the prophets were sitting at his feet, and he said to his servant, “Use the large pot and boil some stew for the sons of the prophets.”
Lè Élisée te retounen Guilgal, te gen yon gwo grangou nan peyi a. Pandan fis a pwofèt yo te chita devan l, li te di a sèvitè li a: “Mete gwo bonm nan e fè yon bouyon pou fis a pwofèt yo.”
39 One of them went out into the countryside to pick herbs. He found a wild vine and picked as many wild gourds as his cloak could hold. Then he came back and chopped them up into the pot of stew. But nobody knew they were dangerous to eat.
Epi youn te ale nan chan an pou ranmase epis yo e yo te twouve yon lyann sovaj. Li te ranmase sou li kont joumou pou plen vètman li. Li te vin koupe yo, pou fè yo antre nan bouyon, paske yo pa t rekonèt yo.
40 They served it to the men to eat, but when they tasted the stew they shouted, “There's death in the pot, man of God!” They couldn't eat it.
Konsa, yo te vide li pou mesye yo manje. Epi pandan yo t ap bwè bouyon an, yo te kriye fò. Yo te di: “O nonm Bondye, gen lanmò nan po a.” Epi yo pa t kab manje.
41 Elisha said, “Get some flour.” He threw it into the pot, and said, “Serve it to the people to eat.” There was nothing bad to eat in the pot.
Men li te di: “Alò, pote sereyal moulen an.” Li te jete li nan bonm nan e te di: “Vide li pou pèp la pou yo kab manje.” Epi pa t gen okenn mal nan po a.
42 A man from Baal-shalishah came to the man of God with a sack of firstfruits—the first grain of the year, along with twenty loaves of barley bread. “Give it to the people to eat,” said Elisha.
Alò, yon mesye te sòti Baal-Shalisha, e li te pote pou nonm Bondye a, pen premye fwi yo, ven pen lòj avèk tèt sereyal nèf nan sak li. Epi li te di: “Bay pèp la pou yo kab manje.”
43 “How can I serve just twenty loaves to a hundred men?” his servant asked. “Give it to the people to eat,” said Elisha, “for this is what the Lord says: ‘They will eat and there will still be some left over.’”
Asistan li an te di: “Kisa, èske mwen va mete sa a devan san moun?” Men li te di: “Bay pèp la pou yo kab manje, paske se konsa SENYÈ a pale: ‘Yo va manje e va genyen ki rete.’”
44 So he served the bread to them. They ate, and had some left over, just as the Lord had said.
Konsa, li te mete li devan yo, yo te manje e te genyen ki te rete, selon pawòl SENYÈ a.
