2 Kings 6
1 The sons of the prophets told Elisha, “Look, the place we meet with you is too small for us.
Alò fis a pwofèt yo te di a Élisée: “Gade byen, plas devan ou kote nou rete a twò piti pou nou.
2 Let's go to the Jordan and each of us can carry one log back. We can build a new place there for us to meet.” “Go ahead,” said Elisha.
Souple, annou ale nan Jourdain an e chak nan nou pran soti la yon poto epi annou fè yon plas pou pwòp tèt nou kote nou kab rete a.” Li te reponn: “Ale.”
3 One of them asked, “Please come with your servants.” “I'll come,” he replied.
Alò youn nan yo te di: “Souple, fè dakò pou ale avèk sèvitè nou yo.” Li te reponn: “M ap prale.”
4 So he went with them. When they got to the Jordan, they started cutting down trees.
Konsa, li te ale avèk yo. Lè yo rive kote Jourdain an, yo te koupe bwa yo.
5 But as one of them was cutting down a tree, the iron axhead fell into the water. “Oh no! My master, it was one that was borrowed!” he shouted.
Men pandan youn nan yo t ap fè tonbe yon poto, tèt rach la te tonbe nan dlo. Nom nan te kriye fò e te di: “Anmwey, mèt mwen! Paske se prete li te ye!”
6 “Where did it fall?” the man of God asked. When he showed him the place, the man of God cut a stick, threw it in there, and made the iron axhead float.
Epi nonm Bondye a te di: “Se kibò li te tonbe?” Epi lè li te montre li kote a, li te koupe yon bout bwa, e li te voye ladann pou te fè fè a vin monte sou dlo a.
7 “Pick it up,” Elisha told the man. So he reached out his hand and picked it up.
Li te di: “Ranmase l pou kont ou.” Konsa, li te lonje men li pou te pran l.
8 The Aramean king was at war with Israel. After consulting with his officers, he said, “I will set up my camp in this particular place.”
Alò, wa Syrie a te fè lagè kont Israël, epi li te konsilte avèk sèvitè li yo. Li te di: “Antre tèl kote ak tèl kote, ki kote nou va fè kan an.”
9 Then the man of God sent a warning to the king of Israel: “Watch out if you go near this place, because the Arameans are going to be there.”
Nonm Bondye a te voye kote wa Israël la. Li te di: “Veye pou ou pa pase nan kote sila a, paske Siryen yo ap desann la.”
10 So the king of Israel sent a warning to the place the man of God had indicated. Elisha repeatedly warned the king, so that he was on the alert in those places.
Wa Israël la te voye nan plas kote nonm Bondye a te pale li a pou avèti l. Konsa, plis ke yon fwa oswa de fwa, li te sove li plizyè fwa.
11 This made the Aramean king really mad. He summoned his officers, demanding an answer: “Tell me, which of us is on the side of the king of Israel?”
Alò, kè a wa Syrie a te anraje sou afè sa a. Li te rele sèvitè li yo e te di yo: “Èske ou va di mwen kilès nan nou ki pou wa Israël la?”
12 “It's none of us, my lord the king,” one of his officers replied. “It's Elisha, the prophet who lives in Israel—he tells the king of Israel even what you say in your bedroom.”
Youn nan sèvitè li yo te di: “Non, mèt mwen, O wa a; men Élisée, pwofèt ki an Israël la ap pale wa Israël la pawòl ke ou pale menm nan chanm dòmi ou.”
13 So the king gave the order, “Go and find out where he is so I can send soldiers to capture him.” He was told, “Elisha is in Dothan.”
Konsa, li te di: “Ale wè kote li ye a pou m kab voye pran l.” Epi yo te pale li, e te di: “Gade, li Dothan.”
14 So he sent horses, chariots, and a large army. They came at night and surrounded the town.
Li te voye cheval avèk cha avèk yon gwo lame la. Yo te vini pandan lannwit e te antoure vil la.
15 Early in the morning when the servant of the man of God got up, he went out and saw that an army with horses and chariots had surrounded the city. “Oh, my master, what are we going to do?” he asked Elisha.
Alò, lè sèvitè a nonm Bondye a te leve bonè pou te sòti deyò, vwala, yon lame avèk cheval ak cha te antoure vil la. Epi sèvitè li a te di li: “Anmwey, mèt mwen! Kisa n ap fè?”
16 Elisha replied, “Don't be afraid, for there are many more who are with us than there are with them!”
Konsa, li te reponn: “Pa pè, paske sila ki avèk nou yo plis pase sila ki avèk yo a.”
17 Elisha prayed, saying, “Lord, please open his eyes so he can see.” The Lord opened the servant's eyes, and when he looked he saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.
Epi Élisée te priye e te di: “O SENYÈ, Mwen priye, ouvri zye li pou li kapab wè.” Epi SENYÈ a te ouvri zye a sèvitè li pou li te wè. Men vwala, tout mòn nan te ranpli avèk cheval avèk cha dife toupatou te antoure Élisée.
18 As the army descended on him, Elisha prayed to the Lord, “Please strike these people with blindness.” So he struck them with blindness, as Elisha had asked.
Lè yo te desann kote li, Élisée te priye a SENYÈ a e te di: “Mwen priye, frape pèp sa a pou fè yo vin avèg.” Konsa, Li te frape yo pou fè yo vin avèg selon pawòl Élisée a.
19 Then Elisha went and told them, “This isn't the right road, and this isn't the right town. Follow me, and I'll take you to the man you're looking for.” He led them to Samaria.
Konsa, Élisée te di yo: “Sa se pa chemen, ni se pa vil sa a. Swiv mwen e mwen va mennen ou kote nonm ke w ap chache a.” Epi li te mennen yo rive Samarie.
20 After they had entered Samaria, Elisha prayed, “Lord, open the eyes of these men that they can see.” The Lord opened their eyes, and they looked around and saw that they were in Samaria.
Lè yo te rive Samarie, Élisée te di: “O SENYÈ, ouvri zye a moun sila yo pou yo kapab wè.” Konsa, SENYÈ a te ouvri zye yo pou yo te wè; epi vwala, yo te nan mitan Samarie.
21 When the king of Israel saw them, he asked Elisha, “My father, shall I kill them? Shall I kill them?”
Konsa, wa Israël la, lè li te wè yo, li te di Élisée: “Papa mwen, èske m dwe touye yo? Èske m dwe touye yo?”
22 “No, don't you kill them!” he replied. “Would you kill prisoners you captured with your own sword or bow? Give them some food and water so that they may eat and drink, and then let them go back to their master.”
Li te reponn: “Ou pa pou touye yo. Èske ou ta touye sila ke ou fin pran an kaptivite avèk nepe oubyen ak banza ou? Mete pen avèk dlo devan yo pou yo kab manje ak bwè e ale kote mèt pa yo.”
23 So the king had a great feast prepared for them, and once they had finished eating and drinking, he sent them back to their master. The Aramean raiders did not enter the land of Israel again.
Konsa, li te prepare yon gran repa pou yo, epi lè yo te fin manje e bwè, li te voye yo ale. Yo te ale kote mèt pa yo, epi bann piyajè Siryen yo pa t vini ankò nan peyi Israël.
24 Sometime after this Ben-hadad king of Aram called up all his army and went to lay siege to Samaria.
Alò, li te vin rive apre sa ke Ben-Hadad, wa Syrie a, te rasanble tout lame li a e te monte fè syèj kont Samarie.
25 So there was a major famine in Samaria. In fact the siege lasted so long that a donkey's head cost eighty shekels of silver, and a quarter cab of dove's dung cost five shekels of silver.
Te gen yon gwo grangou nan Samarie. Konsa, gade byen, yo te fè syèj la jis li rive ke tèt a yon bourik te vann pou katreven sik an ajan e yon ka kab poupou toutrèl pou senk sik ajan.
26 As the king of Israel was walking by on the city wall, a woman called out to him, “Help me, my lord the king!”
Pandan wa Israël la t ap pase sou mi an, yon fanm te kriye fò a li menm e te di: “Fè m sekou, mèt mwen, O Wa a!”
27 “If the Lord doesn't help you, why would you think I can help you?” the king replied. “I don't have grain from the threshing floor, or wine from the winepress.”
Wa a te di: “Si SENYÈ a pa ede ou, soti kibò mwen kab ede ou? Depi nan glasi vannen an, oswa avèk aparèy peze rezen an?”
28 But then he asked her, “What's the problem?” “This woman told me, ‘Give up your son and we'll eat him today, and tomorrow we'll eat my son,’” she answered.
Epi wa a te mande l: “Kisa ou genyen?” Epi li te reponn: “Fanm sa a te di mwen: ‘Ban m ti fis ou a pou nou kab manje li jodi a e nou va manje fis pa ou a demen.’
29 “So we cooked my son and we ate him. The next day I said to her, ‘Give up your son so we can eat him,’ but she's hidden her son.”
Konsa, nou te bouyi fis mwen an e manje li; epi mwen te di li sou jou ki vini an: ‘Ban m fis ou a pou nou kab manje li,’ men li te kache fis li a.”
30 When the king heard what the woman said he ripped his clothes. As he walked by on the wall, the people saw that he was wearing sackcloth under his clothes next to his skin.
Lè wa a te tande pawòl a fanm nan, li te chire rad li—epi koulye a, li t ap pase sou mi an—-e pèp la t ap gade, epi vwala, li te gen twal sak anba vètman a sou kò li.
31 “May God punish me very severely if the head of Elisha, son of Shaphat, remains on his shoulders today!” he declared.
Konsa, li te di: “Ke Bondye fè m sa, e menm plis, si tèt a Élisée, fis a Schaphath la rete sou kò li jodi a.”
32 Elisha was sitting in his house with the elders. The king had sent a messenger on ahead, but before he got there, Elisha told the elders, “Can you see how this murderer is sending someone to cut off my head? So, as soon as the messenger arrives, close the door and hold it shut against him. Isn't that the sound of his master's footsteps following him?”
Alò, Élisée te chita lakay li a, e ansyen yo te chita avèk li. Epi wa a te voye yon mesye soti nan prezans li; men avan mesaje a te rive kote li, Élisée te di a ansyen yo: “Èske ou wè kijan mesye sa a, fis a yon asasen te voye pou retire pran tèt mwen? Gade, lè mesaje a vini, fèmen pòt la kont li e kenbe pòt la fèmen kont li. Èske se pa son a pye mèt li a ki dèyè li?”
33 While Elisha was still speaking with them, the messenger arrived. The king said, “This disaster is from the Lord. Why should I wait for the Lord any longer?”
Pandan li te toujou ap pale avèk yo, men vwala, mesaje a te desann kote li. Li te di: “Men gade, mechanste sa a sòti nan SENYÈ a; poukisa mwen ta dwe tann SENYÈ a ankò?”
