< 2 Kings 4 >

1 Now a wife from among the wives of the sons of the prophets cried out to Elisha, saying, "Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that your servant feared Jehovah, but the creditor has come to take for himself my two children to be his slaves."
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 Then Elisha said to her, "What shall I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in the house?" And she said, "Your servant has nothing in the house, except a small jar 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 Then he said, "Go, ask for containers from outside, from all your neighbors, empty containers.
Lè sa a Elize di li: —Ale nan vwazenaj. Mande prete valè ja vid ou ka jwenn.
4 Then go in and shut the door behind yourself and your sons and pour into all these containers, and you are to set each one aside when it is full."
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 So she left him and shut the door behind herself and her sons; they kept bringing her containers, and she kept pouring.
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 Now it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said to her son, "Bring me another container." But he said to her, "There aren't any more." Then the oil stopped flowing.
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 Then she came and told the man of God, and he said, "Go, sell the oil and pay your debt, and you and your sons can live on 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 Now it happened one day that Elisha traveled to Shunem, where there was a prominent woman, who urged him to eat some food. so whenever he passed by, he would stop in there to eat some food.
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 said to her husband, "Look now, I know that this is a holy man of God who often passes by us.
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's make a little room on the wall, and let's set up a bed, a table, a chair, and a lamp for him there, so that whenever he comes to us, he can stay 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 Now it happened one day he came there, and he turned into the upper room and rested.
Yon jou, Elize te vin lavil Chounèm, li moute nan chanm li, li kouche.
12 And he said to Gehazi his servant, "Call this Shunammite." So he called for her and she stood before him.
Li di Gerazi, domestik li a, rele madanm lan pou li. Gerazi rele madanm lan. Lè madanm lan rive,
13 And he said to him, "Say now to her, 'Look, you have gone to all this trouble for us. What can I do for you? Can I put in a good word for you to the king, or to the commander of the army?'" She answered, "I have a home among my own 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 So he said, "What then can I do for her?" And Gehazi replied, "Actually, she has no son, and her husband is old."
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 Then he said, "Call her." And when he had called her, she stood in the doorway.
Elize di: —Rele l' pou mwen! Gerazi rele madanm lan. Madanm lan vini, li kanpe nan papòt la.
16 And he said, "At this season, when the time comes around, you will be holding a son." And she said, "No, my lord, man of God, do not lie to your servant."
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 But the woman conceived, and bore a son at that season, when the time came around, just as Elisha had said 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 child grew and it happened one day that he went out to his father to the harvest workers.
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 said to his father, "My head, my head." And he said to his servant, "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 when he had taken him and brought him to his mother, he sat on her lap until noon, and died.
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 Then she went up and put him on the bed of the man of God and shut the door behind him and left.
Manman an moute avè l' nan chanm Elize a. Li mete l' kouche sou kabann lan. Li fèmen pòt la, epi li soti.
22 Then she called to her husband and said, "Please send me one of the servants and one of the donkeys, that I may run to the man of God and then 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 But he said, "Why would you want to see him today? It is not the new moon or Sabbath." And she said, "It's alright."
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 Then she saddled a donkey, and said to her servant, "Lead on; do not slow down for me unless I tell 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 So she went and came to the man of God at Mount Carmel. So it happened when the man of God saw her afar off, that he said to Gehazi his servant, "Look, there is the 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 Please run now to meet her and ask her, 'Is it well with you? Is it well with your husband? Is it well with the child?'" And she answered, "It is well."
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 But when she came to the man of God to the mountain, she grabbed hold of his feet. And Gehazi came near to push her away, but the man of God said, "Leave her alone, for she is in severe anguish, and Jehovah has hidden it from me and has not told 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 Then she said, "Did I ask a son from my lord? Did I not say, 'Do not mislead 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 Then he said to Gehazi, "Tuck your cloak into your belt, and take my staff in your hand, and go. If you meet anyone, do not greet him, and if anyone greets you, do not reply. And lay my staff on the face of the child."
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 But the mother of the child said, "As Jehovah lives and as your soul lives, I will not leave you." So he arose and followed 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 Now Gehazi went on ahead of them and placed the staff on the face of the child, but there was no sound or response. Therefore he came back to meet him and told him, saying, "The child did not wake up."
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 When Elisha arrived at the house, look, the child was dead, lying 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 So he went in and shut the door on the two of them and prayed to Jehovah.
Li fèmen pòt la, epi li pran lapriyè Seyè a.
34 Then he got up and lay on the child, and put his mouth on his mouth, and his eyes on his eyes, and his hands on his hands, and he stretched himself upon him, and the body of the child grew 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 Then he returned and walked in the house once back and forth, and went up and stretched himself upon him, and the child sneezed seven times and the child opened 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 Then he called to Gehazi and said, "Call this Shunammite." So he called her. When she had come in to him, he said, "Pick 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 Then she came in and fell at his feet and bowed herself to the ground. Then she picked up her son and left.
Madanm lan tonbe ajenou nan pye Elize, li bese tèt li jouk atè. Lèfini, li pran pitit li, l' ale.
38 Now Elisha came again to Gilgal, while there was a famine in the land. And the sons of the prophets were sitting before him, and he said to his servant, "Put on the large 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 Then one of them went out into the field to gather herbs and found a wild vine, and gathered as many of its gourds as his garment would hold, and came and cut them up into the pot of stew, for he was unaware what it was.
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 So they poured out for the men to eat. Now it happened, as they were eating of the stew, that they cried out, and said, "Man of God, there is death in the pot." And they could not eat it.
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 But he said, "Bring some flour." And he threw it into the pot and said, "Pour it out for the people, that they may eat." And there was no harm 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 Now a man from Baal Shalishah came and brought the man of God bread of the first fruits, twenty loaves of barley, and fresh ears of grain in his sack. And he said, "Give to the people, that they may 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 But his servant said, "What, should I set this before a hundred men?" So he said, "Give them to the people so that they may eat, for thus says Jehovah, 'They will eat, and will have some left over.'"
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 So he set it before them, and they ate, and had some left over, according to the word of Jehovah.
Domestik la sèvi manje a. Tout pwofèt yo manje, yo kite rès jan Seyè a te di l' la.
