2 Kings 6
1 And the sons of the prophets said unto Elisha, Behold now, the place where we dwell with thee is too strait for us.
Yon jou, pwofèt yo di Elize konsa: —Gade, kote n'ap viv avè ou la vin twò piti pou nou.
2 Let us go, we pray thee, unto Jordan, and take thence every man a beam, and let us make us a place there, where we may dwell. And he answered, Go ye.
Kite n' ale larivyè Jouden an. Nou chak va koupe yon madriye, n'a bati yon kay la pou nou ka viv. Elize reponn: —Ale non!
3 And one said, Be content, I pray thee, and go with thy servants. And he answered, I will go.
Yonn nan pwofèt yo mande l': —Tanpri, mèt, ann al avè nou non! Li di: —Dakò.
4 So he went with them. And when they came to Jordan, they cut down wood.
Li pati ak yo. Lè yo rive bò larivyè Jouden an, yo tanmen koupe bwa.
5 But as one was felling a beam, the axe head fell into the water: and he cried, and said, Alas, master! for it was borrowed.
Yonn ladan yo t'ap koupe yon madriye lè rach la soti nan manch li, li tonbe nan dlo a. Li pran rele: —Mèt, mèt! Sa m' pral fè la a? Se prete yo te prete m' rach la wi!
6 And the man of God said, Where fell it? And he shewed him the place. And he cut down a stick, and cast it in thither; and the iron did swim.
Elize mande l': —Kote rach la tonbe la a? Li moutre l' kote a. Elize kase yon moso bwa, li voye l' nan dlo a. Rach la moute anwo dlo a.
7 Therefore said he, Take it up to thee. And he put out his hand, and took it.
Elize di l': —Wete l' nan dlo a. Pwofèt la lonje men l', li pran rach la.
8 Then the king of Syria warred against Israel, and took counsel with his servants, saying, In such and such a place shall be my camp.
Wa peyi Siri a t'ap fè lagè ak peyi Izrayèl la. Li reyini chèf li yo, li di yo ki kote li pral moute kan lame a.
9 And the man of God sent unto the king of Israel, saying, Beware that thou pass not such a place; for thither the Syrians are come down.
Men, Elize voye avèti wa peyi Izrayèl la pou l' pa pwoche bò tèl kote, paske lame peyi Siri a desann la ap tann li.
10 And the king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God told him and warned him of, and saved himself there, not once nor twice.
Se konsa wa peyi Izrayèl la voye yon mesaje al avèti moun ki nan zòn Elize te di l' la pou yo rete sou prigad yo. Sa rive plizyè fwa.
11 Therefore the heart of the king of Syria was sore troubled for this thing; and he called his servants, and said unto them, Will ye not shew me which of us is for the king of Israel?
Sa te boulvèse wa peyi Siri a anpil. Li rele chèf li yo, li di yo: —Manyè di m' kilès nan nou la a ki pou wa peyi Izrayèl la?
12 And one of his servants said, None, my lord, O king: but Elisha, the prophet that is in Israel, telleth the king of Israel the words that thou speakest in thy bedchamber.
Yonn nan chèf yo reponn: —Pesonn, monwa. Men se Elize, pwofèt ki nan peyi Izrayèl la, k'ap fè wa peyi Izrayèl la konnen tou sa ou di, ata sa ou di anndan chanm ou.
13 And he said, Go and spy where he is, that I may send and fetch him. And it was told him, saying, Behold, he is in Dothan.
Wa peyi Siri a di: —Chache konnen kote Elize sa a ye pou m' voye pran l': Yo vin di li Elize te lavil Dotan.
14 Therefore sent he thither horses, and chariots, and a great army: and they came by night, and compassed the city about.
Li voye yon gwo lame ak anpil chwal ak cha lagè dèyè l'. Yo rive Dotan solèy kouche, yo sènen lavil la.
15 And when the servant of the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, an army compassed the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said unto him, Alas, my master! how shall we do?
Nan denmen maten, domestik pwofèt la leve byen bonè, li soti. Li wè te gen yon gwo lame ki te sènen tout lavil la ak anpil chwal ak anpil cha lagè. Lamenm, l' al di Elize: —Mèt, mèt, malè sou nou! Kisa nou pral fè la a?
16 And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them.
Elize reponn li: —Ou pa bezwen pè! Nou gen plis moun avèk nou pase yo.
17 And Elisha prayed, and said, Yhwh, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And Yhwh opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.
Lèfini, Elize lapriyè Seyè a, li di: —Seyè, tanpri louvri je l' pou l' wè! Seyè a louvri je domestik la. Domestik la wè tout mòn lan te kouvri ak flanm dife an fòm kavalye ak cha lagè bò kote Elize.
18 And when they came down to him, Elisha prayed unto Yhwh, and said, Smite this people, I pray thee, with blindness. And he smote them with blindness according to the word of Elisha.
Lè sòlda peyi Siri yo atake, Elize lapriyè ankò, li di: —Seyè, fè sòlda sa yo pa wè nan je yo! Seyè a fè sòlda peyi Siri yo pa wè nan je yo, jan Elize te mande l' la.
19 And Elisha said unto them, This is not the way, neither is this the city: follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom ye seek. But he led them to Samaria.
Lèfini, Elize al jwenn yo, li di yo: —Se pa chemen an sa, ni se pa lavil n'ap chache a sa. Swiv mwen, m'a mennen nou kote moun n'ap chache a ye. Li mennen yo lavil Samari.
20 And it came to pass, when they were come into Samaria, that Elisha said, Yhwh, open the eyes of these men, that they may see. And Yhwh opened their eyes, and they saw; and, behold, they were in the midst of Samaria.
Rive yo rive la, Elize lapriyè ankò, li di: —Seyè, louvri je yo pou yo wè! Seyè a louvri je yo. Yo wè yo te nan mitan lavil Samari.
21 And the king of Israel said unto Elisha, when he saw them, My father, shall I smite them? shall I smite them?
Lè wa peyi Izrayèl la wè sòlda peyi Siri yo, li mande Elize: —Touye yo, papa mwen? Touye yo?
22 And he answered, Thou shalt not smite them: wouldest thou smite those whom thou hast taken captive with thy sword and with thy bow? set bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink, and go to their master.
Elize reponn li: —Non. Pa touye yo. Ou janm touye moun ou fè prizonye lè w'ap goumen ak nepe epi ak banza? Ba yo manje, ba yo bwè, Lèfini, kite yo tounen al jwenn mèt yo!
23 And he prepared great provision for them: and when they had eaten and drunk, he sent them away, and they went to their master. So the bands of Syria came no more into the land of Israel.
Se konsa, wa a fè yon gwo resepsyon pou yo. Yo manje, yo bwè. Lèfini, wa a voye yo ale jwenn mèt yo. Depi lè sa a, sòlda peyi Siri yo sispann anvayi peyi Izrayèl la.
24 And it came to pass after this, that Ben–hadad king of Syria gathered all his army, and went up, and besieged Samaria.
Kèk tan apre sa, Bennadad, wa peyi Siri a, sanble tout lame li, li moute vin atake peyi Izrayèl. Li sènen lavil Samari.
25 And there was a great famine in Samaria: and, behold, they besieged it, until a donkey’s head was sold for fourscore pieces of silver, and the fourth part of a cab of dove’s dung for five pieces of silver.
Se konsa, yon sèl grangou t'ap bat moun nan lavil la. Lènmi pa t' bay ankenn chans pou moun antre soti. Lè sa a yon tèt bourik te koute katreven pyès ajan, yon demi liv kaka pijon te koute senk pyès ajan.
26 And as the king of Israel was passing by upon the wall, there cried a woman unto him, saying, Help, my lord, O king.
Yon jou, wa peyi Izrayèl la t'ap pase sou miray lavil la, yon madanm pran rele: —Monwa, monwa, fè kichòy pou mwen non!
27 And he said, If Yhwh do not help thee, whence shall I help thee? out of the barnfloor, or out of the winepress?
Wa a reponn: —Si Seyè a pa ka fè anyen pou ou, kisa mwen menm, mwen ka fè pou ou. Kisa ou vle m' ba ou: farin osinon diven?
28 And the king said unto her, What aileth thee? And she answered, This woman said unto me, Give thy son, that we may eat him to day, and we will eat my son to morrow.
Sa ou genyen? Madanm lan reponn: —Lòt jou, madanm sa ou wè la a vin di m' pou mwen bay pitit pa m' lan pou nou manje jou sa a, nan denmen n'a manje pitit pa l' la.
29 So we boiled my son, and did eat him: and I said unto her on the next day, Give thy son, that we may eat him: and she hath hid her son.
Se konsa nou kwit pitit pa m' lan, nou manje l'. Nan denmen, mwen di l' pou li bay pitit pa l' la pou nou manje, men li sere l'.
30 And it came to pass, when the king heard the words of the woman, that he rent his clothes; and he passed by upon the wall, and the people looked, and, behold, he had sackcloth within upon his flesh.
Lè wa a tande sa madanm lan di l' la, li chire rad sou li sitèlman li te fache. Moun ki te toupre miray la te ka wè wa a te gen yon rad sak anba rad li.
31 Then he said, God do so and more also to me, if the head of Elisha the son of Shaphat shall stand on him this day.
Wa a pale byen fò, li di: —Se pou Bondye ban m' pi gwo chatiman ki genyen si anvan jounen an fini, yo pa koupe tèt Elize, pitit Safa a!
32 But Elisha sat in his house, and the elders sat with him; and the king sent a man from before him: but ere the messenger came to him, he said to the elders, See ye how this son of a murderer hath sent to take away mine head? look, when the messenger cometh, shut the door, and hold him fast at the door: is not the sound of his master’s feet behind him?
Wa a voye yon mesaje al chache Elize. Lè sa a, Elize te chita lakay li ak kèk chèf fanmi ki t'ap vizite l'. Men, anvan mesaje wa a gen tan rive, Elize di chèf fanmi yo: —Gade, Ansasen an voye yon moun pou touye m'. Men sa n'ap fè. Lè mesaje wa a va rive, fèmen pòt la sou li. Pa kite l' antre. Wa a pye pou pye dèyè l'.
33 And while he yet talked with them, behold, the messenger came down unto him: and he said, Behold, this evil is of Yhwh; what should I wait for Yhwh any longer?
Elize pankò fèmen bouch li, lè wa a rive devan l'. Wa a di l' konsa: —Se Seyè a ki voye malè sa a sou nou! Sa m' bezwen rete ap tann li fè kichòy pou nou ankò?
