2 Kings 2
1 And it came to pass, when the LORD would take up Elijah by a whirlwind into heaven, that 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 unto Elisha: 'Tarry here, I pray thee; for the LORD hath sent me as far as Beth-el.' And Elisha said: 'As the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee.' 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 the sons of the prophets that were at Beth-el came forth to Elisha, and said unto him: 'Knowest thou that the LORD will take away thy master from thy head to-day?' And he said: 'Yea, I know it; hold ye your peace.' —
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 And Elijah said unto him: 'Elisha, tarry here, I pray thee; for the LORD hath sent me to Jericho.' And he said: 'As the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee.' So they came 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 the sons of the prophets that were at Jericho came near to Elisha, and said unto him: 'Knowest thou that the LORD will take away thy master from thy head to-day?' And he answered: 'Yea, I know it; hold ye your peace.' —
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 And Elijah said unto him: 'Tarry here, I pray thee; for the LORD hath sent me to the Jordan.' And he said: 'As the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee.' And they two went on.
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, and stood over against them afar off; and they two stood by the 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 And Elijah took his mantle, and wrapped it together, and smote the waters, and they were divided hither and thither, so that they two went over on dry ground.
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 it came to pass, when they were gone over, that Elijah said unto Elisha: 'Ask what I shall do for thee, before I am taken from thee.' And Elisha said: 'I pray thee, let a double portion of thy spirit be upon 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: 'Thou hast asked a hard thing; nevertheless, if thou see me when I am taken from thee, it shall be so unto thee; but if not, it shall 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 it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, which parted them both assunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.
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 Elisha saw it, and he cried: 'My father, my father, the chariots of Israel and the horsemen thereof!' And he saw him no more; and he took hold of his own clothes, and rent them in two pieces.
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 He took up also the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and went back, and stood by the bank of the 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 the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and smote the waters, and said: 'Where is the LORD, the God of Elijah?' and when he also had smitten the waters, they were divided hither and thither; 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 that were at Jericho some way off saw him, they said: 'The spirit of Elijah doth rest on Elisha.' And they came to meet him, and bowed down to the ground 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 unto him: 'Behold now, there are with thy servants fifty strong men; let them go, we pray thee, and seek thy master; lest peradventure the spirit of the LORD hath taken him up, and cast him upon some mountain, or into some valley.' And he said: 'Ye shall not send.'
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 And when they urged him till he was ashamed, he said: 'Send.' They sent therefore fifty men; and they sought three days, but found him not.
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 tarried at Jericho; and he said unto them: 'Did I not say unto 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 And the men of the city said unto Elisha: 'Behold, we pray thee, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my lord seeth; but the water is bad, and the land miscarrieth.
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 And he said: 'Bring me a new cruse, and put salt therein.' And they brought 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 And he went forth unto the spring of the waters, and cast salt therein, and said: 'Thus saith the LORD: I have healed these waters; there shall not be from thence any more death or miscarrying.'
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 So the waters were healed unto this day, according to the word of Elisha which he spoke.
Depi lè sa a dlo a vin bon jouk jounen jòdi a, jan Elize te di l' la.
23 And he went up from thence unto Beth-el; and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him: 'Go up, thou baldhead; go up, thou baldhead.'
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 he looked behind him and saw them, and cursed them in the name of the LORD. And there came forth two she-bears out of the wood, and tore forty and two children of them.
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 And he went from thence to mount Carmel, and from thence he returned to Samaria.
Apre sa, Elize ale mòn Kamèl. Lèfini li tounen lavil Samari.
