2 Kings 7
1 And Elisha says, “Hear a word of YHWH! Thus said YHWH: About this time tomorrow, a measure of fine flour [is] at a shekel, and two measures of barley at a shekel, in the Gate of Samaria.”
Elize reponn li: —Koute sa Seyè a voye di ou: Denmen, vè lè sa a, nan pòtay lavil Samari a, moun pral achte dis liv bon farin frans osinon ven liv lòj pou yon grenn pyès ajan.
2 And the captain whom the king has, by whose hand he has been supported, answers the man of God and says, “Behold, YHWH is making windows in the heavens—will this thing be?” And he says, “Behold, you are seeing it with your eyes, and you do not eat thereof.”
Gadkò wa a reponn pwofèt la, li di l': —Seyè a ta mèt louvri syèl la pou voye bagay sa yo, sa ou di a pa ka fèt. Elize di li: —Ou wè ou menm, w'ap wè sa rive ak pwòp je ou, men ou p'ap gen chans manje ladan l'!
3 And four men have been leprous at the opening of the gate, and they say to one another, “Why are we sitting here until we have died?
Bò pòtay lavil Samari a, te gen kat gason ki te gen move maladi po. Yonn di lòt konsa: —Poukisa pou n' rete isit la ap tann lanmò?
4 If we have said, We go into the city, then the famine [is] in the city and we have died there; and if we have sat here, then we have died; and now, come and we go down to the camp of Aram; if they keep us alive, we live, and if they put us to death—we have died.”
Si nou di n'ap antre lavil la, avèk grangou ki gen la a, n'ap mouri. Si nou di n'ap rete isit la, n'ap mouri tou. Pito n' al pran yon chans nan kan lame Siri a. Si yo fè pa nou, n'a viv. Men, si yo touye nou, n'a tou mouri mouri nou.
5 And they rise in the twilight, to go to the camp of Aram, and they come to the extremity of the camp of Aram, and behold, there is not a man there,
Se konsa, solèy te fèk kouche lè mesye yo leve, yo pati pou kan lame Siri a. Lè yo rive toupre kan an, yo pa wè pesonn.
6 seeing YHWH has caused the camp of Aram to hear a noise of chariot and a noise of horse—a noise of great force, and they say to one another, “Behold, the king of Israel has hired against us the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of Egypt, to come against us.”
Seyè a te fè sòlda lame Siri yo tande yon bann bri, ou ta di yon pakèt cha lagè, kavalye sou chwal ak yon gwo lame k'ap mache vini sou yo. Tout sòlda peyi Siri yo te konprann se wa peyi Izrayèl la ki te pran kontak ak wa peyi Et la ansanm ak wa peyi Lejip la pou vin atake yo.
7 And they rise and flee in the twilight, and forsake their tents, and their horses, and their donkeys—the camp as it [is]—and flee for their life.
Se konsa, solèy te fèk kouche jou sa a lè yo leve yo kouri met deyò. Yo kite tant yo, chwal yo, bourik yo. Yo chape kò yo kite kan an jan l' te ye a.
8 And these lepers come to the extremity of the camp, and come into one tent, and eat, and drink, and lift up silver, and gold, and garments from there, and go and hide; and they turn back and go into another tent, and lift up from there, and go and hide.
Lè kat mesye yo rive nan kan an, yo antre nan yon premye tant, yo manje, yo bwè. Yo pase men yo pran lò, ajan, rad yo jwenn, yo soti al sere yo. Lèfini, yo tounen, yo antre nan yon dezyèm tant, yo fè menm bagay la.
9 And they say to one another, “We are not doing right this day; it [is] a day of tidings, and we are keeping silent; and we have waited until the morning light, then punishment has found us; and now, come and we go in and declare [it] to the house of the king.”
Men lè sa a, yonn di lòt konsa: —Sa n'ap fè a pa bon non! Nou gen bon nouvèl konsa, nou pa ka kenbe l' pou nou ase. Si nou tann denmen maten pou n' al di moun yo sa, ou mèt sèten y'ap ban nou tò. Pito n' ale koulye a. Ann al bay nouvèl la kay wa a!
10 And they come in, and call to the gatekeeper of the city, and declare for themselves, saying, “We have come to the camp of Aram, and behold, there is no man or sound of man there, but the bound horse, and the bound donkey, and tents as they [are].”
Se konsa, yo tounen lavil Samari, yo rele gad ki t'ap fè pòs nan pòtay lavil la. Yo ba yo nouvèl la, yo di yo: —Nou t al nan kan moun Siri yo. Nou pa jwenn pesonn, nou pa tande pesonn ap pale. Chwal ak bourik sèlman nou jwenn mare nan kòd. Ata tant yo te la jan yo te moute yo.
11 And he calls the gatekeepers, and they declare [it] to the house of the king within.
Faksyonnè ki t'ap fè pòs nan pòtay lavil la bay nouvèl la byen fò. Konsa, nouvèl la gaye jouk li rive anndan palè a.
12 And the king rises by night and says to his servants, “Now let me declare to you that which the Arameans have done to us; they have known that we are famished, and they go out from the camp to be hidden in the field, saying, When they come out from the city, then we catch them alive, and we enter into the city.”
Se te nan mitan lannwit. Wa a leve sot nan kabann li, li di chèf li yo: —Mwen pral esplike nou sa sòlda peyi Siri yo gen dèyè tèt yo kifè yo fè sa. Yo konnen jan grangou ap bat nou isit la. Yo soti kite kan an, y' al kache nan plenn lan. Yo konprann nou pral soti kite lavil la pou n' al dèyè manje. Lè sa a, y'a tonbe sou nou, y'a pran nou tou vivan, y'a antre nan lavil la.
13 And one of his servants answers and says, “Then please let them take five of the horses that are left, that have been left in it—behold, they [are] as all the multitude of Israel who have been left in it; behold, they are as all the multitude of Israel who have been consumed—and we send and see.”
Men, yonn nan chèf li yo di l' konsa: —Poukisa nou pa voye kèk moun ak senk chwal ki rete yo pou y' al wè sa ki pase. Kit yo tounen vivan, kit yo mouri, yo p'ap pi mal ni pi byen pase rès moun Izrayèl yo ki rete isit la. Wè pa wè, y' ap pase tankou sa ki mouri deja yo.
14 And they take two chariot-horses, and the king sends [them] after the camp of Aram, saying, “Go, and see.”
Se konsa yo chwazi kèk moun, wa a voye yo ak de cha lagè pou y' al wè sa ki rive nan kan lame peyi Siri a.
15 And they go after them to the Jordan, and behold, all the way is full of garments and vessels that the Arameans have cast away in their haste, and the messengers return and declare [it] to the king.
Mesye yo pati, yo rive jouk bò larivyè Jouden an. Sou tout wout la, yo wè rad ak yon bann lòt bagay sòlda peyi Siri yo te jete lè yo t'ap kouri met deyò a. Yo tounen, yo fè rapò yo bay wa a.
16 And the people go out and spoil the camp of Aram, and there is a measure of fine flour at a shekel, and two measures of barley at a shekel, according to the word of YHWH.
Menm lè a, pèp la kouri soti al piye kan lame peyi Siri yo. Jan Seyè a te di l' la, yo vann dis liv bon farin frans pou yon pyès ajan, ven liv lòj pou menm pri a.
17 And the king has appointed the captain, by whose hand he is supported, over the gate, and the people tread him down in the gate, and he dies, as the man of God spoke, which he spoke in the coming down of the king to him,
Men, wa a te mete chèf gadkò li a ap veye pòtay lavil la. Se konsa pèp la pilonnen l' anba pye yo lè y'ap pase nan pòtay lavil la. Li mouri jan Elize te di l' sa lè wa a te vin wè l' la.
18 indeed, it comes to pass, according to the speaking of the man of God to the king, saying, “Two measures of barley at a shekel, and a measure of fine flour at a shekel are, at this time tomorrow, in the Gate of Samaria”;
Lè sa a, Elize t'ap pale ak wa a li te di l' konsa: Denmen lè konsa, nan pòtay lavil Samari y'ap vann dis liv bon farin frans pou yon pyès ajan ak ven liv lòj pou menm pri a.
19 and the captain answers the man of God and says, “And behold, YHWH is making windows in the heavens—will this thing be?” And he says, “Behold, you are seeing it with your eyes, and you do not eat thereof”;
Se konsa chèf gadkò a te di Seyè a te mèt louvri syèl la pou voye bagay sa yo, sa Elize di a pa ka fèt. Elize menm te reponn li, li te di l': Ou wè ou menm, w'ap wè sa rive ak pwòp je ou, men ou p'ap gen chans manje ladan l'.
20 and it comes to him so, and the people tread him down in the gate, and he dies.
Se sa menm ki rive l'. Li mouri pilonnen anba pye pèp la lè y'ap pase nan pòtay lavil la.
