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.
Alò fis a pwofèt yo te di a Élisée: “Gade byen, plas devan ou kote nou rete a 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.
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 And one said, Be content, I pray thee, and go with thy servants. And he answered, I will go.
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. And when they came to Jordan, they cut down wood.
Konsa, li te ale avèk yo. Lè yo rive kote Jourdain an, yo te koupe bwa yo.
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.
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 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.
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 Therefore said he, Take it up to thee. And he put out his hand, and took it.
Li te di: “Ranmase l pou kont ou.” Konsa, li te lonje men li pou te pran l.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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?
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 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.
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 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.
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 Therefore sent he thither horses, and chariots, and a great army: and they came by night, and compassed the city about.
Li te voye cheval avèk cha avèk yon gwo lame la. Yo te vini pandan lannwit e te antoure vil 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?
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 And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them.
Konsa, li te reponn: “Pa pè, paske sila ki avèk nou yo plis pase sila ki avèk yo a.”
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.
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 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 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 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.
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 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.
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 And the king of Israel said unto Elisha, when he saw them, My father, shall I smite them? shall I smite 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 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.
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 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.
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 And it came to pass after this, that Ben–hadad king of Syria gathered all his army, and went up, and besieged 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 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.
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 And as the king of Israel was passing by upon the wall, there cried a woman unto him, saying, Help, my lord, O 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 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 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 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.
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 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.
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 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 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 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.
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 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?
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 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?
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?”
