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;
Alò fis a pwofèt yo te di a Élisée: “Gade byen, plas devan ou kote nou rete a 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.”
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 the one says, “Please be willing, and go with your servants”; and he says, “I go.”
Alò youn nan yo te di: “Souple, fè dakò pou ale avèk sèvitè nou yo.” Li te reponn: “M ap prale.”
4 And he goes with them, and they come to the Jordan, and cut down the trees,
Konsa, li te ale avèk yo. Lè yo rive kote Jourdain an, yo te koupe bwa yo.
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!”
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 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,
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 and says, “Raise [it] up for yourself”; and he puts forth his hand and takes it.
Li te di: “Ranmase l pou kont ou.” Konsa, li te lonje men li pou te pran l.
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.”
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 sends to the king of Israel, saying, “Take heed of passing by this place, for the Arameans are coming down there”;
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 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.
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 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?”
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 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.”
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 says, “Go and see where he [is], and I send and take him”; and it is declared to him, saying, “Behold—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 And he sends horses and chariot, and a heavy force there, and they come in by night, and go around against the city.
Li te voye cheval avèk cha avèk yon gwo lame la. Yo te vini pandan lannwit e te antoure vil 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?”
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 says, “Do not fear, for more [are] they who [are] with us than they who [are] with them.”
Konsa, li te reponn: “Pa pè, paske sila ki avèk nou yo plis pase sila ki avèk yo a.”
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.
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 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 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 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.
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 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!
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 says to Elisha at his seeing them, “My father, do I strike, do I strike?”
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 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.”
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 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.
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 comes to pass afterward, that Ben-Hadad king of Aram gathers all his camp, and goes up, and lays siege to 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 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.
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 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.”
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 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 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 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;
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 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.”
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 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 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 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.”
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 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?”
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 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?”
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?”
