2 Kings 4
1 And a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets has cried to Elisha, saying, “Your servant, my husband, is dead, and you have known that your servant was fearing YHWH, and the lender has come to take my two children to himself for servants.”
Madanm yonn nan pwofèt yo al jwenn Elize, li di l' konsa: —Mari m' mouri. Ou konnen se yon nonm ki te gen krentif anpil pou Bondye. Koulye a, yon nonm mari m' te dwe lajan vini, li vle pran de pitit gason m' yo pou l' al vann yo tankou esklav pou l' ka antre lajan l' lan.
2 And Elisha says to her, “What do I do for you? Declare to me, what do you have in the house?” And she says, “Your maidservant has nothing in the house except a pot of oil.”
Elize mande l': —Kisa m' ka fè pou ou? Di m' kisa ou gen lakay ou. Madanm lan reponn li: —Mèt, m' pa gen anyen pase yon ti boutèy lwil.
3 And he says, “Go, ask [for] vessels for yourself from outside, from all your neighbors—empty vessels—let [them] not be few;
Lè sa a Elize di li: —Ale nan vwazenaj. Mande prete valè ja vid ou ka jwenn.
4 and you have entered, and have shut the door on you, and on your sons, and have poured it into all these vessels, and the full ones you remove.”
Lèfini, tounen lakay ou ansanm ak pitit gason ou yo. Fèmen tout pòt. Konmanse plen tout ja yo lwil. Chak ja ki plen, w'a mete l' sou kote.
5 And she goes from him, and shuts the door on her, and on her sons; they are bringing [them] near to her, and she is pouring [it] out,
Se konsa, madanm lan kite Elize, li tounen lakay li al jwenn pitit gason l' yo. Li fèmen pòt. Li pran ti boutèy lwil la, li vide lwil nan ja vid yo. Pitit gason l' yo t'ap pote ja yo ba li yonn apre lòt. Li menm li t'ap plen yo.
6 and it comes to pass, at the filling of the vessels, that she says to her son, “Bring another vessel near to me,” and he says to her, “There is not another vessel”; and the oil stays.
Lè tout ja yo fin plen, madanm lan mande yonn nan pitit li yo si pa t' gen ja ankò. Gason l' lan reponn li. —Pa gen ja vid ankò non. Lamenm lwil la sispann koule.
7 And she comes and declares [it] to the man of God, and he says, “Go, sell the oil, and repay your loan; and you [and] your sons live off the rest.”
Madanm lan al jwenn Elize, li rakonte l' tout bagay. Elize di li: —Bon. Al vann lwil la. Peye tout dèt ou yo. Lèfini, w'ap gen lajan rete nan men ou pou ou viv ak pitit ou yo.
8 And the day comes that Elisha passes over to Shunem, and there [is] a great woman, and she lays hold on him to eat bread, and it comes to pass, at the time of his passing over, he turns aside there to eat bread,
Yon jou, Elize t'ap pase lavil Chounèm kote te gen yon madanm ki te gen bon ti mwayen. Madanm lan fann dèyè l' pou li vin manje avè l'. Depi lè sa a, chak fwa Elize pase lavil Chounèm, se lakay madanm sa a l' al manje.
9 and she says to her husband, “Now behold, I have known that he is a holy man of God, passing over by us continually;
Yon lè, madanm lan di mari l': —Gade! Mwen vin konnen nonm sa k'ap pase tout tan vin isit la se yon pwofèt Bondye, yon nonm k'ap viv apa pou Bondye li ye.
10 please let us make a little upper chamber of the wall, and we set for him there a bed, and a table, and a high seat, and a lampstand; and it has been, in his coming to us, he turns aside there.”
Ann bati yon ti pyès an masonn sou teras anwo a. N'a mete yon kabann, yon chèz, yon tab ak yon lanp ladan l'. Konsa, lè la vin vizite nou, la gen yon kote pou l' ka pou kont li.
11 And the day comes that he comes in there, and turns aside to the upper chamber, and lies there,
Yon jou, Elize te vin lavil Chounèm, li moute nan chanm li, li kouche.
12 and he says to his young man Gehazi, “Call for this Shunammite”; and he calls for her, and she stands before him.
Li di Gerazi, domestik li a, rele madanm lan pou li. Gerazi rele madanm lan. Lè madanm lan rive,
13 And he says to him, “Now say to her, Behold, you have troubled yourself concerning us with all this trouble; what can [I] do for you? Is it to speak for you to the king, or to the head of the host?” And she says, “I am dwelling in the midst of my people.”
Elize di Gerazi konsa: —Mande l' pou mwen kisa m' ka fè pou li pou tout traka li bay tèt li pou nou. Eske li ta vle m' al pale ak wa a osinon kòmandan lame a pou li? Madanm lan reponn: —Mèsi wi. Mwen gen tou sa m' bezwen nan mitan pèp la.
14 And he says, “And what can [I] do for her?” And Gehazi says, “Truly she has no son, and her husband [is] aged.”
Elize mande Gerazi: —Kisa nou ta ka fè pou li en? Gerazi di li: —Podyab! Li pa gen pitit gason, lèfini, mari l' fin granmoun!
15 And he says, “Call for her”; and he calls for her, and she stands at the opening,
Elize di: —Rele l' pou mwen! Gerazi rele madanm lan. Madanm lan vini, li kanpe nan papòt la.
16 and he says, “At this season, according to the time of life, you are embracing a son”; and she says, “No, my lord, O man of God, do not lie to your maidservant.”
Elize di li: —Nan ennan, vè lè konsa, w'a kenbe yon pitit gason nan bra ou. Madanm lan di: —Non, mèt. Tanpri, se sèvitè Bondye ou ye, pa ban m' manti.
17 And the woman conceives and bears a son, at this season, according to the time of life that Elisha spoke of to her.
Men, madanm lan vin ansent jan Elize te di l' la. Se konsa ennan apre, li fè yon pitit gason.
18 And the boy grows, and the day comes that he goes out to his father, to the reapers,
Ti gason an grandi. Yon jou ti gason an t al jwenn papa l' ki t'ap ranmase rekòt nan jaden l' ak kèk lòt moun,
19 and he says to his father, “My head, my head”; and he says to the young man, “Carry him to his mother”;
li rete konsa, li di papa l': —Woy! Tèt mwen! Tèt mwen! Papa a rele yonn nan domestik li yo, li di l' konsa: —Pote ti gason an bay manman l'.
20 and he carries him, and brings him to his mother, and he sits on her knees until the noon, and dies.
Domestik la pran ti gason an, li pote l' bay manman l'. Manman an kenbe ti gason an sou janm li. Rive midi, ti gason an mouri.
21 And she goes up, and lays him on the bed of the man of God, and shuts [the door] on him, and goes out,
Manman an moute avè l' nan chanm Elize a. Li mete l' kouche sou kabann lan. Li fèmen pòt la, epi li soti.
22 and calls to her husband and says, “Please send one of the young men and one of the donkeys to me, and I run to the man of God, and return.”
Li fè rele mari li, li di l' konsa: —Tanpri, voye yon domestik ban mwen ak yon bourik. Mwen bezwen ale bò kote Elize, pwofèt la. M' p'ap mize.
23 And he says, “Why are you going to him today? [It is] neither new moon nor Sabbath!” And she says, “Peace [to you]!”
Mari a mande l': —Poukisa se jòdi a pou ou ale bò kot pwofèt la. Se pa jou repo, ni se pa jou fèt lalin nouvèl. Madanm lan reponn li: —Sa pa fè anyen!
24 And she saddles the donkey and says to her young man, “Lead, and go, do not restrain riding for me, except I have commanded [so] to you.”
Li fè sele bourik la, epi li di domestik li a: —Degage ou fè bourik la mache vit. Pa kite l' al dousman jouk m'a di ou rete.
25 And she goes, and comes to the man of God, to the hill of Carmel, and it comes to pass, at the man of God’s seeing her from within view, that he says to his young man Gehazi, “Behold, this Shunammite;
Se konsa, li pati pou mòn Kamèl kote Elize, sèvitè Bondye a, te ye. Elize wè l' byen lwen ap vini. Li di Gerazi, domestik li a: —Men madanm lavil Choumèn lan ap vini.
26 now please run to meet her, and say to her, Is there peace to you? Is there peace to your husband? Is there peace to the boy?” And she says, “Peace.”
Kouri al jwenn li. Mande l' si tout moun lakay li byen, li menm, mari l' ak pitit li a. Madanm lan di Gerazi tout moun byen.
27 And she comes to the man of God, to the hill, and lays hold on his feet, and Gehazi comes near to thrust her away, and the man of God says, “Leave her alone, for her soul [is] bitter to her, and YHWH has hidden [it] from me, and has not declared [it] to me.”
Men lè li rive kot Elize, li lage kò l' atè devan li, li mare nan pye Elize. Gerazi fè sa pou l' pouse l', Elize di l' konsa: —Kite l'. Ou pa wè jan li gen gwo lapenn? Epi Seyè a pa kite m' konn sa. Li kache m' sa.
28 And she says, “Did I ask for a son from my lord? Did I not say, Do not deceive me?”
Lè sa a madanm lan di: —Mèt, se mwen ki te mande ou yon pitit gason? M' pa t' di ou pa ban m' move espwa?
29 And he says to Gehazi, “Gird up your loins, and take my staff in your hand, and go; when you meet a man, you do not greet him; and when a man greets you, you do not answer him; and you have laid my staff on the face of the youth.”
Elize vire bò Gerazi, li di l' konsa: —Pare kò ou non! Pran baton m' lan avè ou. Pati. Pa rete sou wout ou pou di pesonn bonjou. Si yon moun di ou bonjou, pa reponn. Ale dirèk dirèk kay madanm lan. Lè w'a rive, w'a mete baton m' lan sou figi pitit la.
30 And the mother of the youth says, “YHWH lives, and your soul lives—if I leave you”; and he rises and goes after her.
Men manman ti gason an di Elize konsa: —Mwen pran Seyè vivan an ansanm ak ou tou pou temwen. Mwen pa pral san ou! Lè sa a Elize leve, li pati avè l'.
31 And Gehazi has passed on before them, and lays the staff on the face of the youth, and there is no voice, and there is no attention, and he turns back to meet him, and declares to him, saying, “The youth has not awoken.”
Gerazi te gen tan pran devan. Li mete baton Elize a sou figi ti gason an. Men, ti gason an pa briding kò l'. Gerazi tounen al jwenn Elize, li di l': —Ti gason an pa leve.
32 And Elisha comes into the house, and behold, the youth is dead, laid on his bed,
Lè Elize rive, li moute pou kont li nan chanm lan. Li wè ti gason an mouri kouche sou kabann lan.
33 and he goes in and shuts the door on them both, and prays to YHWH.
Li fèmen pòt la, epi li pran lapriyè Seyè a.
34 And he goes up, and lies down on the boy, and puts his mouth on his mouth, and his eyes on his eyes, and his hands on his hands, and stretches himself on him, and the flesh of the boy becomes warm;
Lèfini, li moute kouche sou ti gason an, li mete bouch li sou bouch ti gason an, je li sou je ti gason an ak men l' sou men ti gason an. Li rete kouche konsa sou ti gason an. Kò ti gason an konmanse vin cho.
35 and he turns back and walks in the house, once here and once there, and goes up and stretches himself on him, and the youth sneezes until seven times, and the youth opens his eyes.
Elize leve, li fè yon ti mache nan chanm lan. Lèfini, l' al kouche menm jan an sou ti gason an ankò. Ti gason an estènen sèt fwa, epi li louvri je l'.
36 And he calls to Gehazi and says, “Call to this Shunammite”; and he calls her, and she comes to him, and he says, “Lift up your son.”
Elize rele Gerazi, li di l': —Rele madanm lan pou mwen. Lè madanm lan vini, li di l': —Men pitit gason ou lan.
37 And she goes in, and falls at his feet, and bows herself to the earth, and lifts up her son, and goes out.
Madanm lan tonbe ajenou nan pye Elize, li bese tèt li jouk atè. Lèfini, li pran pitit li, l' ale.
38 And Elisha has turned back to Gilgal, and the famine [is] in the land, and the sons of the prophets are sitting before him, and he says to his young man, “Set on the great pot, and boil stew for the sons of the prophets.”
Apre sa, Elize tounen lavil Gilgal. Lè sa a, yon sèl grangou te tonbe sou tout peyi a. Yon jou, yon gwoup pwofèt te chita ap pale ak Elize. Elize rele domestik li a, li di l' konsa: —Mete gwo mamit la sou dife. Pare yon bouyon pou pwofèt yo.
39 And one goes out to the field to gather herbs, and finds a vine of the field, and gathers gourds of the field from it—the fullness of his garment—and comes in and splits [them] into the pot of stew, for they did not know [them];
Yonn nan pwofèt yo soti al chache kèk fèy legim. Li jwenn yon pye lyann mawon, li keyi kèk fwi ki te tankou ti kalbas, li plen rad li. Li tounen, li koupe yo an ti moso, li mete yo nan bouyon an san konnen sa yo te ye.
40 and they pour out for the men to eat, and it comes to pass at their eating of the stew, that they have cried out, and say, “Death [is] in the pot, O man of God!” And they have not been able to eat.
Yo sèvi mesye yo. Goute yo goute bouyon an, yo pran rele. Yo di: —Pwofèt Elize! Manje a gen yon pwazon ladan l'. Yo derefize manje.
41 And he says, “Then bring a meal”; and he casts into the pot and says, “Pour out for the people, and they eat”; and there was no bad thing in the pot.
Men Elize di: —Pote ti gout farin frans pou mwen. Li mete farin lan nan bouyon an. Epi li di: —Bay mesye yo manje. Mesye yo manje. Pa t'gen pwazon ankò nan manje a.
42 And a man has come from Ba‘al-Shalishah, and brings to the man of God bread of first-fruits, twenty loaves of barley, and full ears of grain in its husk, and he says, “Give to the people, and they eat.”
Yon lòt fwa ankò, yon nonm soti lavil Baal Chalicha, li pote yon sak pwovizyon fè Elize kado. Nan sak la te gen ven pen li te fè ak premye grenn lòj li te rekolte pou lanne a ansanm ak yon pakèt grap lòj li te fèk koupe. Elize di domestik li a pou li sèvi yo bay pwofèt yo manje.
43 And his minister says, “How do I give this before one hundred men?” And he says, “Give to the people, and they eat, for thus said YHWH: Eat and leave”;
Men domestik la di l': —Ki jan pou m' rive bay san moun manje ak ti pwovizyon sa a? Elize reponn li: —Ba yo l' pou yo manje, paske Seyè a di y'ap manje kont yo, y'ap kite rès.
44 and he gives before them, and they eat and leave, according to the word of YHWH.
Domestik la sèvi manje a. Tout pwofèt yo manje, yo kite rès jan Seyè a te di l' la.
