< 2 Kings 5 >
1 Now Naaman, captain of the host of the king of Aram, was a great man with his master, and held in esteem, because by him the LORD had given victory unto Aram; he was also a mighty man of valour, but he was a leper.
Naaman, kòmandan lame wa peyi Siri a, te yon nonm wa a te renmen anpil. Li te ba li anpil favè paske se gremesi Naaman Seyè a te fè peyi Siri a genyen nan tout batay li yo. Se te yon vanyan sòlda, men li trape yon move maladi po.
2 And the Arameans had gone out in bands, and had brought away captive out of the land of Israel a little maid; and she waited on Naaman's wife.
Yon lè yon bann moun peyi Siri t al fè piyay nan peyi Izrayèl la, yo te fè yon tifi moun Izrayèl yo prizonye. Tifi a te rete ak madan Naaman.
3 And she said unto her mistress: 'Would that my lord were with the prophet that is in Samaria! then would he recover him of his leprosy.'
Yon jou, li di metrès li a: —Si mèt mwen te ka al wè pwofèt ki nan peyi Samari a, pwofèt la ta ka geri maladi a wi.
4 And he went in, and told his lord, saying: 'Thus and thus said the maid that is of the land of Israel.'
Lè Naaman tande sa, l' al jwenn wa a, li di l' sa tifi a te di.
5 And the king of Aram said: 'Go now, and I will send a letter unto the king of Israel.' And he departed, and took with him ten talents of silver, and six thousand pieces of gold, and ten changes of raiment.
Wa Siri a reponn: —Bon, ou pral jwenn wa peyi Izrayèl la, m'ap ba ou yon lèt pou li. Se konsa Naaman pati. Li te pote trantmil (30.000) pyès ajan, simil (6.000) pyès lò ak dis rad nèf fèt ak bon twal fen.
6 And he brought the letter to the king of Israel, saying: 'And now when this letter is come unto thee, behold, I have sent Naaman my servant to thee, that thou mayest recover him of his leprosy.'
Li renmèt lèt la bay wa peyi Izrayèl la. Men sa ki te ekri nan lèt la: Mwen voye Naaman, yonn nan chèf mwen yo, avèk lèt sa a pou ou ka geri maladi po l' la.
7 And it came to pass, when the king of Israel had read the letter, that he rent his clothes, and said: 'Am I God, to kill and to make alive, that this man doth send unto me to recover a man of his leprosy? but consider, I pray you, and see how he seeketh an occasion against me.'
Lè wa peyi Izrayèl la li lèt la, li vin gen yon kè sere, li chire rad sou li epi li di: —Eske se Bondye ki bay lavi ki bay lanmò mwen ye pou msye voye yon moun ak maladi pou m' geri l'? Nou tou wè se chache l'ap chache m' kont.
8 And it was so, when Elisha the man of God heard that the king of Israel had rent his clothes, that he sent to the king, saying: 'Wherefore hast thou rent thy clothes? let him come now to me, and he shall know that there is a prophet in Israel.'
Lè pwofèt Elize vin konnen jan wa a te nan tèt chaje pou lèt la, li voye di l': —Poukisa ou gen kè sere konsa? Voye moun lan ban mwen, m'a fè l' konnen gen yon pwofèt nan peyi Izrayèl la.
9 So Naaman came with his horses and with his chariots, and stood at the door of the house of Elisha.
Se konsa Naaman ale ak cha li a ansanm ak chwal li yo. Li rete devan pòt kay Elize a.
10 And Elisha sent a messenger unto him, saying: 'Go and wash in the Jordan seven times, and thy flesh shall come back to thee, and thou shalt be clean.'
Men Elize voye yon mesaje di l': —Ale lave kò ou sèt fwa nan larivyè Jouden an, maladi po a va disparèt sou kò ou. W'a geri.
11 But Naaman was wroth, and went away, and said: 'Behold, I thought: He will surely come out to me, and stand, and call on the name of the LORD his God, and wave his hand over the place, and recover the leper.
Naaman fache, li vire do l' ale. Li di: —Mwen te kwè li t'ap soti vin resevwa m'. Apre sa, li ta lapriyè Seyè a, Bondye l' la. Li ta pase men l' kote ki malad la, konsa mwen ta geri.
12 Are not Amanah and Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? may I not wash in them, and be clean?' So he turned, and went away in a rage.
Lèfini, èske dlo larivyè Abana ak larivyè Fafa nan peyi Damas yo pa pi bon pase nenpòt dlo larivyè nan peyi Izrayèl yo? Mwen ta ka benyen ladan yo tou, mwen ta geri. Li vire do l' ale byen move.
13 And his servants came near, and spoke unto him, and said: 'My father, if the prophet had bid thee do some great thing, wouldest thou not have done it? how much rather then, when he saith to thee: Wash, and be clean?'
Men, domestik li yo al jwenn li, yo di l' konsa: —Mèt, si pwofèt la te mande ou yon bagay pi difisil, èske ou pa ta fè l'? Poukisa koulye a ou pa al lave kò ou pou ou ka geri jan li di ou la?
14 Then went he down, and dipped himself seven times in the Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God; and his flesh came back like unto the flesh of a little child, and he was clean.
Naaman ale, li plonje sèt fwa nan larivyè Jouden an, jan pwofèt la te di l' la. Po kò l' tounen tankou po timoun. Li te geri nèt.
15 And he returned to the man of God, he and all his company, and came, and stood before him; and he said: 'Behold now, I know that there is no God in all the earth, but in Israel; now therefore, I pray thee, take a present of thy servant.'
Lè sa a li tounen bò kote sèvitè Bondye a ansanm ak tout moun ki te avè l' yo. Li kanpe devan l', li di l' konsa: —Koulye a, mwen konnen pa gen Bondye lòt kote sou latè pase nan peyi Izrayèl la. Tanpri, resevwa kado m'ap ba ou la a.
16 But he said: 'As the LORD liveth, before whom I stand, I will receive none.' And he urged him to take it; but he refused.
Men Elize di l': —Mwen pran Seyè vivan m'ap sèvi a pou temwen, mwen p'ap resevwa ankenn kado. Naaman t'ap fòse l' pou l' pran kado a, men Elize derefize.
17 And Naaman said: 'If not, yet I pray thee let there be given to thy servant two mules' burden of earth; for thy servant will henceforth offer neither burnt-offering nor sacrifice unto other gods, but unto the LORD.
Lè sa a, Naaman di: —Dakò, ou pa vle. Men tanpri, ban m' ti gout tè pou m' chaje sou de milèt pote ale avè m'. Paske mwen menm ki la pou sèvi ou la, depi jòdi a mwen p'ap fè ofrann, mwen p'ap boule bèt pou ankenn lòt bondye pase pou Seyè a.
18 In this thing the LORD pardon thy servant: when my master goeth into the house of Rimmon to worship there, and he leaneth on my hand, and I prostrate myself in the house of Rimmon, when I prostrate myself in the house of Rimmon, the LORD pardon thy servant in this thing.'
Tansèlman, se pou Seyè a padonnen m' kichòy. Lè chèf mwen pral fè sèvis nan tanp Rimon an, se pou l' apiye sou bra m', mwen fèt pou m' bese tèt ansanm avè l' nan tanp lan. Mwen ta mande Seyè a pou l' padonnen m' sa.
19 And he said unto him: 'Go in peace.' So he departed from him some way.
Elize reponn li: —Ale ak kè poze! Naaman pati. Lè li rive yon distans,
20 But Gehazi, the servant of Elisha the man of God, said: 'Behold, my master hath spared this Naaman the Aramean, in not receiving at his hands that which he brought; as the LORD liveth, I will surely run after him, and take somewhat of him.'
Gerazi, domestik Elize, pwofèt Bondye a, di nan kè l': —Mèt mwen kite Naaman, moun Siri a, ale, li pa pran anyen nan sa l' te pote pou li a. Mwen pran Seyè vivan an pou temwen, mwen pral kouri dèyè l' pou m' pran kichòy nan men l'.
21 So Gehazi followed after Naaman. And when Naaman saw one running after him, he alighted from the chariot to meet him, and said: 'Is all well?'
Se konsa li pati dèyè Naaman. Lè Naaman wè l' ap kouri vin jwenn li, li prese desann sot sou cha li a, l' al jwenn li, li mande l': —Ki malè ki rive?
22 And he said: 'All is well. My master hath sent me, saying: Behold, even now there are come to me from the hill-country of Ephraim two young men of the sons of the prophets; give them, I pray thee, a talent of silver, and two changes of raiment.'
Gerazi reponn li: —Se pa anyen non. Se mèt mwen ki voye m' di ou konsa gen de jenn pwofèt ki soti nan mòn Efrayim yo ki fèk rive lakay li, li ta renmen ou voye twasan (300) pyès ajan ak de rad nèf pou l' ba yo.
23 And Naaman said: 'Be content, take two talents.' And he urged him, and bound two talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of raiment, and laid them upon two of his servants; and they bore them before him.
Naaman reponn: —Tanpri, pran sisan (600) pyès ajan. Li fòse l' pran yo, li mare pyès ajan yo nan de ti sak, li lonje yo bay de nan domestik pa l' yo ansanm ak de bèl rechanj pou yo pote yo devan Gerazi.
24 And when he came to the hill, he took them from their hand, and deposited them in the house; and he let the men go, and they departed.
Lè yo rive sou ti mòn lan, Gerazi pran de ti sak yo nan men domestik yo, li mete yo lakay li, lèfini, li voye domestik Naaman yo ale fè wout yo.
25 But he went in, and stood before his master. And Elisha said unto him: 'Whence comest thou, Gehazi?' And he said: 'Thy servant went no whither.'
Apre sa, l' ale jwenn mèt li. Elize mande l': —Gerazi, kote ou soti? Gerazi reponn: —M' pa t al ankenn kote non, mèt!
26 And he said unto him: 'Went not my heart with thee, when the man turned back from his chariot to meet thee? Is it a time to receive money, and to receive garments, and oliveyards and vineyards, and sheep and oxen, and men-servants and maid-servants?
Elize di li: —Mwen te la avè ou, nan lespri m', lè nonm lan desann soti sou cha li a pou l' resevwa ou. Men se pa lè sa a pou nou resevwa lajan ak rad ni pou n' achte jaden oliv, jaden rezen, bèf, mouton, kabrit, osinon fanm ak gason pou sèvi nou esklav.
27 The leprosy therefore of Naaman shall cleave unto thee, and unto thy seed for ever.' And he went out from his presence a leper as white as snow.
Se poutèt sa, maladi Naaman an pral tonbe sou ou, sou pitit ak pitit pitit ou yo pou tout tan. Lè Gerazi soti, li te gen maladi po a. Po kò l' te blan kou koton.
