2 Kings 8
1 Elisha told the woman whose son he had brought back to life, “You and your family need to pack up and leave, and live where you can somewhere else like a foreigner. For the Lord announced a famine will come to the land and will last seven years.”
Elize te pale ak madanm ki te manman ti gason li te fè tounen vivan sot nan lanmò a, li te di l' pou li pati ansanm ak tout fanmi l' al viv nan yon lòt peyi paske Seyè a te fè konnen talè konsa yon gwo grangou tapral tonbe sou tout peyi a pou sètan.
2 The woman packed up and did what the man of God had told her. She and her family went and lived as foreigners for seven years in the country of the Philistines.
Fanm lan leve, li fè sa pwofèt la te ba li konsèy fè a. Li pati ansanm ak tout fanmi l' al rete nan peyi Filisti a pandan sètan.
3 When the seven years were over, she came back from the country of the Philistines and went to the king to appeal for the return of her house and lands.
Lè sètan yo fin pase, li tounen nan peyi Izrayèl, l' al jwenn wa a, li mande l' pou yo renmèt li kay li ak jaden li.
4 The king was talking with Gehazi, the servant of the man of God, asking him, “Please tell me about all the wonderful things Elisha did.”
Li jwenn wa a t'ap pale ak Gerazi, domestik pwofèt Bondye a, paske wa a te mande l' pou l' te vin rakonte l' tout bèl bagay Elize te fè yo.
5 It so happened that right then Gehazi was telling the king the story of how Elisha had brought the dead boy back to life when his mother arrived to make her appeal to the king for the return of her house and lands. “My lord the king,” Gehazi called out, “this is the woman, and this is her son that Elisha brought back to life.”
Gerazi t'ap rakonte wa a kijan Elize te fè pitit gason yon fanm leve soti vivan nan lanmò lè madanm lan vin pale ak wa a pou kay li ak jaden l' yo. Gerazi di wa a: —Monwa, men madanm lan ansanm ak pitit gason Elize te fè leve soti vivan nan lanmò a.
6 The king asked the woman about it and she explained the whole story to him. The king gave orders to an official, saying, “Make sure everything that belonged to her is returned to her, together with all the profit from her lands from the day that she left the country until now.”
Wa a mande madanm lan pou li rakonte l' jan sa te pase. Lè madanm lan fini, wa a bay yonn nan chèf li yo lòd renmèt madanm lan tou sa ki te pou li ansanm ak tou sa jaden yo te rapòte depi jou li te kite peyi a rive jouk jou li tounen an.
7 Elisha went to Damascus when Ben-hadad king of Aram was ill. The king was informed, “The man of God has arrived in town.”
Apre sa, Elize ale lavil Damas. Bennadad, wa peyi Siri a, te malad. y' al di wa a pwofèt la te nan lavil la.
8 The king ordered Hazael, “Take a gift with you and go and meet the man of God. Ask him to ask the Lord, ‘Will I recover from this illness?’”
Wa a rele Azayèl, yonn nan chèf li yo, li di l' konsa: —Pote yon bagay fè pwofèt Bondye a kado. Lèfini, mande l' pou l' pale ak Seyè a pou konnen si m'ap leve anba maladi sa a.
9 So Hazael went to meet Elisha. He took with him a gift of all the best things from Damascus—forty camel-loads of goods. He came in and stood before him and said, “Your son Ben-hadad, king of Aram, has sent me to you to ask, ‘Will I recover from this illness?’”
Se konsa Azayèl al wè Elize, li pran tout kalite bon bagay li jwenn lavil Damas, li chaje yo sou karant chamo pote bay Elize. Lè li rive devan Elize, li di l' konsa: —Pitit ou, Bennadad, wa peyi Siri a, voye m' vin mande ou si l'ap leve anba maladi l' la.
10 “Go and tell him, ‘You will definitely recover.’ But the Lord has shown me that definitely he is going to die,” Elisha replied.
Elize reponn: —Seyè a fè m' konnen l'ap mouri, men ou menm, al di l' l'ap refè.
11 Elisha stared at him for a long time until Hazael became uncomfortable. Then the man of God started to cry.
Lè li fin di sa, Elize pran gade Azayèl nan je. Lè Azayèl wè sa, sa jennen l' anpil. Elize rete konsa, dlo pran kouri nan je l'.
12 “Why are you crying, my lord?” asked Hazael. “Because I know the evil things you are going to do to the Israelites,” Elisha replied. “You will set their fortresses on fire, kill their young men with the sword, dash to pieces their little ones, and rip open their pregnant women.”
Azayèl mande l': —Mèt, poukisa w'ap kriye a? Elize reponn: —Paske mwen gen tan konnen tou sa ou pral fè pèp Izrayèl la pase. Ou pral met dife nan gwo fò yo, ou pral touye jenn gason l' yo ak nepe, ou pral kraze pitit yo, ou pral louvri vant fanm ansent yo.
13 “But how could someone like me who's just a ‘dog’ achieve anything like that?” Hazael asked. “The Lord has shown me that you are going to be the king of Aram,” Elisha replied.
Azayèl mande l': —Kisa m' ye menm pou m' ta rive fè tou sa? Mwen pa pi bon pase yon chen. Elize reponn li: —Seyè a fè m' konnen se ou ki pral wa peyi Siri.
14 Hazael left Elisha and went to his master, who asked him, “What did Elisha tell you?” Hazael replied, “He told me you would definitely recover.”
Azayèl kite Elize, li tounen al jwenn mèt li ki mande l': —Sa Elize di ou? Li reponn: —Li di m' li sèten w'ap refè.
15 But the following day Hazael took the bed cover, soaked it in water, and spread it over the king's face until he died. Then Hazael took over from him as king.
Men nan denmen, Azayèl pran yon dra, li plonje l' nan dlo, li mete l' sou figi wa a. Wa a toufe, li mouri. Azayèl moute wa sou fotèy Siri a nan plas Bennadad.
16 Jehoram, son of Jehoshaphat, began his reign as king of Judah in the fifth year of the reign of Joram, son of Ahab, king of Israel, while Jehoshaphat was still king of Judah.
Wa Joram, pitit gason Akab la, t'ap mache sou senkan depi li t'ap gouvènen peyi Izrayèl lè Joram, pitit gason Jozafa ki te wa peyi Jida a, moute wa nan plas papa l'.
17 He was thirty-two when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for eight years.
Li te gen tranndezan lè li moute wa. Li gouvènen nan lavil Jerizalèm pandan witan.
18 Jehoram followed the ways of the kings of Israel, just as the house of Ahab had done, for he married a daughter of Ahab and did what was evil in the Lord's sight.
Li te marye ak yon pitit fi Akab. Tankou lòt moun fanmi Akab yo, li mache pye pou pye dèyè wa peyi Izrayèl yo. Li fè sa ki mal nan je Seyè a.
19 But for the sake of David his servant the Lord didn't want to destroy Judah since he had promised him that there would always be a ruler from his descendants, like a lamp forever.
Men, Seyè a pa t' vle detwi peyi Jida a, paske li te pwomèt David, sèvitè l' la, t'ap toujou gen yon moun nan ras li pou gouvènen peyi a devan Seyè a.
20 During Jehoram's time as king, Edom rebelled against Judah's rule and chose their own king.
Sou reny wa Joram, moun peyi Edon yo pran lezam kont moun peyi Jida yo. Yo pran libète granmoun yo. Yo nonmen yon wa pou gouvènen yo.
21 So Jehoram went over to Zair with all his chariots. The Edomites surrounded him and his chariot commanders, but he took action and attacked at night. But his army ran back to their homes.
Se konsa Joram soti ak tout cha lagè li yo, li mache sou lavil Zayi. Lame moun Edon yo sènen l'. Pandan lannwit, li menm ak chèf cha lagè li yo, yo leve yo atake moun Edon yo ki te sènen yo, yo pase soti nan mitan yo, yo chape. Tout sòlda yo gaye al lakay yo.
22 As a result Edom has been in rebellion against Judah's rule to this day. At the same time Libnah also decided to rebel.
Se depi lè sa a, peyi Edon an soti anba lòd peyi Jida, yo granmoun lakay yo. Se menm lè a tou moun lavil Libna yo pran libète granmoun yo tou.
23 The rest of what happened in Jehoram's reign and all that he did are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Judah.
N'a jwenn rès istwa Joram ak tou sa li te fè ekri nan liv Istwa wa peyi Jida yo.
24 Jehoram died and was buried with his forefathers in the City of David. His son Ahaziah succeeded him as king.
Lè Joram mouri, yo antere l' nan kavo zansèt li yo nan lavil David la. Apre sa, se Okozyas, pitit li a, ki moute wa nan plas li.
25 Ahaziah, son of Jehoram, became king of Judah in the twelfth year of the reign of Joram, son of Ahab, king of Israel.
Wa Joram, pitit Akab la, t'ap mache sou douzan depi li t'ap gouvènen peyi Izrayèl lè Okozyas, pitit Joram, moute wa sou fotèy peyi Jida a.
26 Ahaziah was twenty-two when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for one year. His mother's name was Athaliah, the granddaughter of Omri, king of Israel.
Li te gen venndezan. Li gouvènen nan lavil Jerizalèm pandan ennan. Manman l' te rele Atali. Se te pitit fi Akab, pitit pitit fi Omri, tou de wa peyi Izrayèl.
27 Ahaziah also followed the evil ways of the family of Ahab, and did what was evil in the Lord's sight as the family of Ahab had done, for he was related to them by marriage.
Okozyas mache pye pou pye dèyè moun fanmi Akab yo. Li te marye nan fanmi wa Akab. Li fè sa ki mal nan je Seyè a tankou yo.
28 Ahaziah went with Joram, son of Ahab, to fight against Hazael, king of Aram, at Ramoth-gilead. The Arameans wounded Joram,
Wa Okozyas mete tèt ansanm ak wa Joram, pitit Akab, pou y' al atake Azayèl, wa peyi Siri a. Lame yo kontre yonn ak lòt bò lavil Ramòt nan peyi Galarad. Sòlda peyi Siri yo blese Joram nan batay la.
29 and he returned to Jezreel to recover from the wounds he'd received in Ramah fighting against Hazael king of Aram. Ahaziah, son of Jehoram, king of Judah, went to Jezreel to visit Joram, son of Ahab, because Joram was wounded.
Joram tounen lavil Jizreyèl pou l' te refè anba kou sòlda peyi Siri yo te ba li lavi Ramòt lè li t'ap goumen ak Azayèl, wa peyi Siri a. Okozyas, pitit Joram, wa peyi Jida a, desann lavil Jizreyèl al wè wa Joram, pitit Akab la, paske Joram te malad.
