< Kings IV 4 >
1 And one of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried to Elisaie, saying, Your servant my husband is dead; and you know that your servant feared the Lord: and the creditor is come to take my two sons to be his servants.
Alò, yon sèten fanm pami madanm fis a pwofèt yo te kriye kont Élisée: “Sèvitè ou a, mari mwen an mouri e ou konnen ke sèvitè ou te gen lakrent SENYÈ a. Konsa, mesye ki vèse prè kòb la, gen tan parèt pou pran de pitit mwen yo kòm esklav li.”
2 And Elisaie said, What shall I do for you? tell me what you have in the house. And she said, Your servant has nothing in the house, except oil wherewith I anoint myself.
Élisée te di li: “Kisa pou m ta fè pou ou? Di mwen kisa ou gen nan kay la?” Epi li te di: “Sèvant ou pa gen anyen nan kay la sof ke yon bokal lwil.”
3 And he said to her, Go, borrow for yourself vessels without of all your neighbors, [even] empty vessels; borrow not a few.
Alò, li te di: “Ale, prete veso vid toupatou pou kont ou nan men tout vwazen ou yo. Pa manke pran anpil.
4 And you shall go in and shut the door upon you and upon your sons, and you shall pour forth into these vessels, and remove that which is filled.
Ou va antre anndan, fèmen pòt la dèyè ou avèk fis ou yo, vide nan tout veso sa yo, e sa ki plen yo, mete yo akote.”
5 And she departed from him, and shut the door upon herself and upon her sons: they brought the vessels near to her, and she poured in until the vessels were filled.
Konsa, li te ale kite li e te fèmen pòt la dèyè li avèk fis li yo. Yo t ap mennen veso kote li pou l te plen.
6 And she said to her sons, Bring me yet a vessel. And they said to her, There is not a vessel more. And the oil stayed.
Lè tout veso yo te plen li te di a fis li yo: “Mennen ban mwen yon lòt veso.” Epi li reponn li: “Nanpwen menm yon veso ankò.” Konsa, lwil la te sispann.
7 And she came and told the man of God: and Elisaie said, Go, and sell the oil, and you shall pay your debts, and you and your sons shall live of the remaining oil.
Alò, li te vin pale nonm Bondye a. Li te di l: “Ale vann lwil la pou peye dèt ou. Epi ou menm avèk fis ou yo kab viv sou sa ki rete a.”
8 And a day came, when Elisaie passed over to Soman, and [there was] a great lady there, and she constrained him to eat bread: and it came to pass as often as he went into [the city, that] he turned aside to eat there.
Alò, te vin rive yon jou lè Élisée te pase bò kote Sunem, kote te gen yon fanm enpòtan. Konsa, fanm nan te konvenk li manje pen. Se konsa li te vin rive, ke nenpòt lè li te pase, li te vire antre la pou manje pen.
9 And the woman said to her husband, See now, I know that this [is] a holy man of God who comes over continually to us.
Fanm nan te di a mari li: “Gade byen, mwen apèsi ke sa se yon nonm sen a Bondye k ap pase bò kote nou tout tan.
10 Let us now make for him an upper chamber, a small place; and let us put there for him a bed, and a table, and a stool, and a candlestick: and it shall come to pass that when he comes in to us, he shall turn in there.
Souple, annou fè yon ti chanm sou twati kay la. Annou mete yon kabann pou li la, avèk yon tab ak chèz avèk yon chandelye. Konsa li va ye ke lè li vini kote nou, li kapab vire antre la.”
11 And a day came, and he went in there, and turned aside into the upper chamber, and lay there.
Yon jou, li te vini la e te vire antre nan chanm anwo a pou te repoze.
12 And he said to Giezi his servant, Call me this Somanite. and he called her, and she stood before him.
Konsa li te di a Guéhazi, sèvitè li a: “Rele fanm Sinamit lan.” Epi lè li te fin rele li, li te parèt kanpe devan l.
13 And he said to him, Say now to her, Behold, you have taken all this trouble for us; what should I do for you? Hast you any request [to make] to the king, or to the captain of the host? And she said, I dwell in the midst of my people.
Li te di Guéhazi: “Koulye a di li: ‘Gade, ou te byen pran swen nou avèk tout swen sila a. Se kisa nou kapab fè pou ou? Èske ou ta renmen m pale ak wa a pou ou, oswa kapitèn lame a?’” Li te reponn: “Mwen rete pami pwòp pèp pa m.”
14 And he said to Giezi, What must we do for her? and Giezi his servant said, Indeed she has no son, and her husband [is] old.
Konsa, li te mande: “Alò, se kisa ki kab fèt pou li?” Epi Guéhazi te reponn: “Anverite, li pa gen fis, e mari li fin granmoun.”
15 And he called her, and she stood by the door.
Li te di: “Rele li.” Lè li te rele li, li te kanpe nan pòtay la.
16 And Elisaie said to her, At this time [next year], as the season [is], you [shall be] alive, and embrace a son. And she said, Nay, my lord, do not lie to your servant.
Epi li te di: “Nan sezon sila nan ane k ap vini an, ou va anbrase yon fis.” Epi li te reponn: “Non, mèt mwen, O nonm Bondye a, pa bay manti a sèvant ou.”
17 And the woman conceived, and bore a son at the very time, as the season was, being alive, as Elisaie said to her.
Konsa, Fanm nan te vin ansent e te fè yon fis nan menm sezon sa a nan ane ki vini an, jan Élisée te pale li a.
18 And the child grew: and it came to pass when he went out to his father to the reapers,
Lè pitit la te fin grandi, jou a te rive pou li te ale kote papa li avèk moun rekòlt yo.
19 that he said to his father, My head, my head. and [his father] said to a servant, carry him to his mother.
Li te di a papa li: “Tèt mwen, tèt mwen.” Epi papa l te pale sèvitè li: “Pote li bay manman li.”
20 And he carried him to his mother, and he lay upon her knees till noon, and died.
Lè li te pran li pou te mennen li bay manman l, li te chita sou jenou li jis rive midi e li te mouri.
21 And she carried him up and laid him on the bed of the man of god; and she shut the door upon him, and went out.
Li te monte anlè a, li te kouche li sou kabann nonm Bondye a, li te fèmen pòt la dèyè l e li te sòti.
22 And she called her husband, and said, Send now for me one of the young men, and one of the asses, and I will ride quickly to the man of God, and return.
Konsa, li te rele mari li, e li te di l: “Souple, voye ban m youn nan bourik yo pou m ka al jwenn nonm Bondye a epi tounen.”
23 And he said, Why are you going to him today? It is neither new moon, nor the Sabbath. And she said, [It is] well.
Li te di, “Poukisa ou w ap al kote l jodi a? Lalin pa nèf, ni li pa Saba a.” Li te reponn: “L ap bon.”
24 And she saddled the ass, and said to her servant, Be quick, proceed: spare not on my account to ride, unless I shall tell you. Go, and you shall proceed, and come to the man of God to mount Carmel.
Alò, li te sele yon bourik e te di a sèvitè li: “Kondwi pou avanse! Pa ralanti vitès sof ke se mwen ki di ou sa.”
25 And she rode and came to the man of God to the mountain: and it came to pass when Elisaie saw her coming, that he said to Giezi his servant, See now, that Somanite comes.
Konsa li te ale e te vin kote nonm Bondye a sou Mòn Carmel. Lè nonm Bondye a te wè li a yon distans li te di a Guéhazi, sèvitè li a: “Men vwala se Sinamit lan.
26 Now run to meet her, and you shall say, [Is it] well with you? [is it] well with your husband? [is it] well with the child? and she said, [It is] well.
Souple, kouri koulye a rankontre li, epi mande li: ‘Èske tout bagay byen pou ou? Èske sa byen pou mari ou? Èske sa byen pou fis ou a?’” Konsa, li te reponn: “L ap bon”.
27 And she came to Elisaie to the mountain, and laid hold of his feet; and Giezi drew near to thrust her away. And Elisaie said, Let her alone, for her soul [is] much grieved in her, and the Lord has hidden [it] from me, and has not told [it] me.
Lè l te rive kote nonm Bondye a sou ti mòn nan, li te kenbe de pye li. Guéhazi te parèt pou pouse l fè l sòti; men nonm Bondye a te di: “Kite li, paske nanm li twouble anndan l. SENYÈ a te kache sa de mwen sa, e pa t di m sa.”
28 And she said, Did I ask a son of my lord? For did I not say, Do not deal deceitfully with me?
Fanm nan te di: “Èske mwen te mande mèt mwen pou yon fis? Èske mwen pa t di ou: ‘Pa twonpe m’?”
29 And Elisaie said to Giezi, Gird up your loins, and take my staff in your hand, and go: if you meet any man, you shall not salute him, and if a man salute you you shall not answer him: and you shall lay my staff on the child's face.
Alò, li te di a Guéhazi: “Mare senti ou, pran baton mwen nan men ou pou al fè wout ou. Si ou rankontre nenpòt moun, pa salye li, e si nenpòt moun salye ou, pa reponn li. Al mete baton mwen an kouche sou figi gason an.”
30 And the mother of the child said, [As] the Lord lives and [as] your soul lives, I will not leave you. And Elisaie arose, and went after her.
Manman a gason an te di: “Jan SENYÈ a viv la, e jan ou menm viv la, mwen p ap kite ou.” Konsa, li te leve e te swiv li.
31 And Giezi went on before her, and laid his staff on the child's face: but there was neither voice nor any hearing. So he returned to meet him, and told him, saying, The child is not awaked.
Guéhazi te pase devan yo e te kouche baton an sou figi a gason an, men li pa t fè bwi, ni li pa t reponn. Konsa, li te retounen rankontre Élisée e te di li: “Gason an pa t leve.”
32 And Elisaie went into the house, and, behold, the dead child was laid upon his bed.
Lè Élisée te vini nan kay la, men vwala, gason an te kouche tou mouri sou kabann li an.
33 And Elisaie went into the house, and shut the door upon themselves, the two, and prayed to the Lord.
Pou sa, li te antre fèmen pòt la dèyè yo toude a, e te priye a SENYÈ a.
34 And he went up, and lay upon the child, and put his mouth upon his mouth, and his eyes upon his eyes, and his hands upon his hands; and bowed himself upon him, and the flesh of the child grew warm.
Konsa, li te pwoche kouche sou pitit la, li te mete bouch li sou bouch pa li, zye li sou zye pa li, men li sou men pa li. Li te lonje kò li sou li, e chè pitit la te kòmanse vin cho.
35 And he returned, and walked up and down in the house: and he went up, and bowed himself on the child seven times; and the child opened his eyes.
Li te retounen nan kay la e te mache yon fwa ale retou, epi li te monte lonje li menm sou li. Gason an te touse sèt fwa e gason an te ouvri zye li.
36 And Elisaie cried out to Giezi, and said, Call this Somanite. So he called her, and she came in to him: and Elisaie said, Take your son.
Li te rele Guéhazi e te di: “Rele Sinamit lan.” Konsa, li te rele li. Lè li te antre kote li, li te di: “Ranmase pran pitit ou a.”
37 And the woman went in, and fell at his feet, and did obeisance [bowing] to the ground; and she took her son, and went out.
Alò, fanm nan te antre anndan; li te tonbe nan pye li e li te bese li menm jis atè. Epi li te pran fis li, e te sòti.
38 And Elisaie returned to Galgala: and a famine [was] in the land; and the sons of the prophets sat before him: and Elisaie said to his servant, Set on the great pot, and boil pottage for the sons of the prophets.
Lè Élisée te retounen Guilgal, te gen yon gwo grangou nan peyi a. Pandan fis a pwofèt yo te chita devan l, li te di a sèvitè li a: “Mete gwo bonm nan e fè yon bouyon pou fis a pwofèt yo.”
39 And he went out into the field to gather herbs, and found a vine in the field, and gathered of it wild gourds, his garment full; and he cast it into the caldron of pottage, for they knew [them] not.
Epi youn te ale nan chan an pou ranmase epis yo e yo te twouve yon lyann sovaj. Li te ranmase sou li kont joumou pou plen vètman li. Li te vin koupe yo, pou fè yo antre nan bouyon, paske yo pa t rekonèt yo.
40 And he poured it out for the men to eat: and it came to pass, when they were eating of the pottage, that behold! they cried out, and said, [There is] death in the pot, O man of God. And they could not eat.
Konsa, yo te vide li pou mesye yo manje. Epi pandan yo t ap bwè bouyon an, yo te kriye fò. Yo te di: “O nonm Bondye, gen lanmò nan po a.” Epi yo pa t kab manje.
41 And he said, Take meal, and cast it into the pot. And Elisaie said to his servant Giezi, Pour out for the people, and let them eat. And there was no longer there any hurtful thing in the pot.
Men li te di: “Alò, pote sereyal moulen an.” Li te jete li nan bonm nan e te di: “Vide li pou pèp la pou yo kab manje.” Epi pa t gen okenn mal nan po a.
42 And there came a man over from Baetharisa, and brought to the man of God twenty barley loaves and cakes of figs, of the first fruits. And he said, Give to the people, and let them eat.
Alò, yon mesye te sòti Baal-Shalisha, e li te pote pou nonm Bondye a, pen premye fwi yo, ven pen lòj avèk tèt sereyal nèf nan sak li. Epi li te di: “Bay pèp la pou yo kab manje.”
43 And his servant said, Why should I set this before a hundred men? and he said, Give to the people, and let them eat; for thus says the Lord, They shall eat and leave.
Asistan li an te di: “Kisa, èske mwen va mete sa a devan san moun?” Men li te di: “Bay pèp la pou yo kab manje, paske se konsa SENYÈ a pale: ‘Yo va manje e va genyen ki rete.’”
44 And they ate and left, according to the word of the Lord.
Konsa, li te mete li devan yo, yo te manje e te genyen ki te rete, selon pawòl SENYÈ a.
