2 Kings 6
1 And sons of the prophet say to Elisha, “Now behold, the place where we are dwelling before you is too narrow for us;
Yon jou, pwofèt yo di Elize konsa: —Gade, kote n'ap viv avè ou la vin twò piti pou nou.
2 please let us go to the Jordan, and we each take one beam from there, and we make a place there for ourselves to dwell there”; and he says, “Go.”
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 the one says, “Please be willing, and go with your servants”; and he says, “I go.”
Yonn nan pwofèt yo mande l': —Tanpri, mèt, ann al avè nou non! Li di: —Dakò.
4 And he goes with them, and they come to the Jordan, and cut down the trees,
Li pati ak yo. Lè yo rive bò larivyè Jouden an, yo tanmen koupe bwa.
5 and it comes to pass, the one is felling the beam, and the iron [ax head] has fallen into the water, and he cries and says, “Aah! My lord, 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 says, “To where has it fallen?” And he shows him the place, and he cuts a stick, and casts [it] there, and causes the iron to 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 and says, “Raise [it] up for yourself”; and he puts forth his hand and takes it.
Elize di l': —Wete l' nan dlo a. Pwofèt la lonje men l', li pran rach la.
8 And the king of Aram has been fighting against Israel, and takes counsel with his servants, saying, “At such and such a place [is] my encamping.”
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 sends to the king of Israel, saying, “Take heed of passing by this place, for the Arameans are coming down there”;
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 sends to the place of which the man of God spoke to him, and warned him, and he is preserved there not [just] once and not [just] 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 And the heart of the king of Aram is tossed about concerning this thing, and he calls to his servants and says to them, “Do you not declare to me who 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 says, “No, my lord, O king, for Elisha the prophet, who [is] in Israel, declares to the king of Israel the words that you speak in the inner part of your bed-chamber.”
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 says, “Go and see where he [is], and I send and take him”; and it is declared to him, saying, “Behold—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 And he sends horses and chariot, and a heavy force there, and they come in by night, and go around against the city.
Li voye yon gwo lame ak anpil chwal ak cha lagè dèyè l'. Yo rive Dotan solèy kouche, yo sènen lavil la.
15 And the servant of the man of God rises early, and goes out, and behold, a force is surrounding the city, and horse and chariot, and his young man says to him, “Aah! My lord, how do 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 says, “Do not fear, for more [are] they who [are] with us than they who [are] with them.”
Elize reponn li: —Ou pa bezwen pè! Nou gen plis moun avèk nou pase yo.
17 And Elisha prays and says, “YHWH, please open his eyes, and he sees”; and YHWH opens the eyes of the young man, and he sees, and behold, the hill is full of horses and chariots of fire around 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 they come down to it, and Elisha prays to YHWH and says, “Please strike this nation with blindness”; and He strikes 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 says to them, “This [is] not the way, nor [is] this the city; come after me, and I lead you to the man whom you seek”; and he leads 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 comes to pass, at their coming to Samaria, that Elisha says, “YHWH, open the eyes of these, and they see”; and YHWH opens their eyes, and they see, and behold, [they are] 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 says to Elisha at his seeing them, “My father, do I strike, do I strike?”
Lè wa peyi Izrayèl la wè sòlda peyi Siri yo, li mande Elize: —Touye yo, papa mwen? Touye yo?
22 And he says, “You do not strike; are you striking those whom you have taken captive with your sword and with your bow? Set bread and water before them, and they eat, and drink, and go to their lord.”
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 prepares great provision for them, and they eat and drink, and he sends them away, and they go to their lord: and troops of Aram have not added to come into the land of Israel anymore.
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 comes to pass afterward, that Ben-Hadad king of Aram gathers all his camp, and goes up, and lays siege to 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 is a great famine in Samaria, and behold, they are laying siege to it, until the head of a donkey is at eighty pieces of silver, and a forth of the cab of dove’s dung at 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 it comes to pass, the king of Israel is passing by on the wall, and a woman has cried to him, saying, “Save, 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 says, “YHWH does not save you—from where do I save you? Out of the threshing-floor or out of the wine-vat?”
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 says to her, “What is [troubling] you?” And she says, “This woman said to me, Give your son, and we eat him today, and we eat my son tomorrow;
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 and we boil my son and eat him, and I say to her on the next day, Give your son, and we eat him; and she hides 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 comes to pass, at the king’s hearing the words of the woman, that he tears his garments, and he is passing by on the wall, and the people see, and behold, the sackcloth [is] within on 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 And he says, “Thus God does to me and thus He adds, if the head of Elisha son of Shaphat remains 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 And Elisha is sitting in his house, and the elderly are sitting with him, and [the king] sends a man from before him; before the messenger comes to him, even he himself said to the elderly, “Have you seen that this son of the murderer has sent [him] to turn aside my head? See, at the coming in of the messenger, shut the door, and you have held him fast at the door, is not the sound of the feet of his lord 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 He is yet speaking with them, and behold, the messenger is coming down to him, and he says, “Behold, this [is] the calamity from YHWH; why do I wait for YHWH anymore?”
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?
