2 Kings 2
1 And it came to pass, when Yahweh was about to take up Elijah in a storm into the heavens, that Elijah departed, with Elisha, from Gilgal.
Li te vin rive lè SENYÈ a te prèt pou ranmase Élie monte nan syèl nan yon van toubiyon, ke Élie te ale avèk Élisée sòti Guilgal.
2 Then said Elijah unto Elisha—Tarry here, I pray thee, for, Yahweh, hath sent me as far as Bethel. And Elisha said, By the life of Yahweh and by the life of thine own soul, I will not leave thee. So they went down to Bethel.
Epi li te rive ke Élie te di a Élisée: “Rete isit la, souple; paske SENYÈ a te voye mwen jis Béthel.” Men Élisée te di: “Jan SENYÈ a viv la e jan ou menm viv la, mwen p ap kite ou.” Konsa, yo te desann Béthel.
3 And the sons of the prophets who were in Bethel came forth unto Elisha, and said unto him, Knowest thou that, to-day, Yahweh is taking away thy lord, from thy head? And he said—I also, know, be silent.
Alò, fis a pwofèt ki te Béthel yo te vin sòti kote Élisée e te di li: “Èske ou konnen ke SENYÈ a va pran mèt ou a soti anwo ou jodi a?” Konsa, li te di: “Wi, mwen konnen. Pa pale!”
4 Then Elijah said to him—Elisha, I pray thee, tarry here, for, Yahweh, hath sent me to Jericho. And he said—By the life of Yahweh and by the life of thine own soul, I will not leave thee. So they came to Jericho.
Élie te di li: “Élisée, souple, rete isit la, paske SENYÈ a te voye mwen Jéricho.” Men li te di: “Jan SENYÈ a viv la, mwen p ap kite ou”. Konsa, yo te vini Jéricho.
5 Then drew near the sons of the prophets who were in Jericho, unto Elisha, and said unto him, Knowest thou that, to-day, Yahweh is taking away thy lord from thy head? And he said—I also, know; be silent.
Fis a pwofèt ki te Jéricho yo te vin kote Élisée e te di li: “Èske ou konnen ke SENYÈ a va retire mèt ou a soti anwo ou jodi a?” Li te reponn: “Wi, mwen konnen; pa pale.”
6 And Elijah said to him—Tarry here, I pray thee, for, Yahweh, hath sent me to the Jordan. And he said—By the life of Yahweh and by the life of thine own soul, I will not leave thee. So they two, went on.
Konsa, Élie te di li: “Souple, rete isit la, paske SENYÈ a te voye mwen nan Jourdain an.” Li te reponn: “Jan Senyè a viv la e jan ou menm viv la, mwen p ap kite ou.” Konsa yo de a te avanse.
7 But, fifty men of the sons of the prophets, came, and stood over against them, afar off, —and, they two, stood by the Jordan.
Alò senkant mesye nan fis a pwofèt yo te ale kanpe anfas yo nan yon distans, pandan yo de a te kanpe akote Jourdain an.
8 Then Elijah took his mantle, and wrapped it together, and smote the waters, and they were divided, hither and thither, —so that they two, passed over, on dry ground.
Élie te pran manto li, li te pliye li ansanm, li te frape dlo yo e yo te vin divize isit e la, jiskaske yo de a te travèse sou tè sèch.
9 And it came to pass, as they went over, that, Elijah, said unto Elisha—Ask, what I shall do for thee, ere yet I be taken from thee. And Elisha said, Let there be, I pray thee, a double portion of thy spirit upon me.
Lè yo te fin travèse, Élie te di a Élisée: “Mande sa ke m ta fè pou ou avan mwen retire m de ou.” Konsa, Élisée te di: “Souple, kite yon pòsyon doub nan lespri ou a rete sou mwen.”
10 And he said—Thou hast asked a hard thing, —if thou see me when taken from thee, thou shall have it, so, but, if not, thou shalt not have it.
Li te di: “Ou te mande yon bagay ki difisil. Si ou wè m lè m retire kite ou, se konsa l ap ye pou ou; men si se pa sa, sa p ap fèt.”
11 And it came to pass, as they were going on and on and talking, that lo! there was a chariot of fire, with horses of fire, which parted, those two, asunder, —and Elijah went up in a storm, into the heavens.
Pandan yo t ap fè wout yo e t ap prale, men vwala, yon cha dife avèk cheval dife te separe yo de a. Konsa, Élie te monte nan yon toubiyon nan syèl la.
12 And, as soon as Elisha saw it, he, began crying out—My father! my father! The chariots of Israel, and the horsemen thereof! But, when he could see him no longer, he took hold of his clothes, and rent them in two pieces.
Élisée te wè e te kriye fò: “Papa m, papa m, cha Israël yo avèk chevalye li yo!” Epi li pa t wè Élie ankò. Alò, li te kenbe rad li e te chire li an de bout.
13 Then took he up the mantle of Elijah, which had fallen from him, —and returned and stood, on the brink of the Jordan;
Anplis, li te pran manto Élie ki te sòti tonbe de li, lè l t ap prale a, e li te retounen kanpe akote rebò larivyè Jourdain an.
14 and took the mantle of Elijah which had fallen from him, and smote the waters, and said, Where is Yahweh, the God of Elijah? And, when, he also, smote the waters, they were divided, hither and thither, and Elisha, passed over.
Li te pran manto Élie ki te tonbe de li menm nan, e li te frape dlo yo e te di: “Kote SENYÈ a, Bondye Élie a?” Epi lè l te frape dlo a ankò, yo te divize isit e la, epi Élisée te travèse rive lòtbò.
15 And, when the sons of the prophets who were in Jericho, over against him, saw him, they said, The spirit of Elijah, resteth, on Elisha. So they came to meet him, and bowed themselves down to him, to the ground.
Alò, lè fis a pwofèt ki te Jéricho yo te wè li, yo te di: “Lespri Élie a poze sou Élisée.” Epi yo te vin rankontre li e te bese yo menm atè devan li.
16 Then said they unto him—Lo! we pray thee, there are with thy servants fifty men, sons of valour—let them go, we pray thee, and seek thy lord, lest the Spirit of Yahweh have borne him away, and cast him on one of the mountains, or into one of the valleys. And he said—Ye shall not send.
Yo te di li: “Men vwala, genyen avèk ou senkant sèvitè ak gwo fòs, souple, kite yo ale chache mèt ou a. Petèt lespri a SENYÈ a te pran li e te jete li sou yon mòn, oswa nan yon vale.” Li te di: “Ou p ap voye yo.”
17 But, when they urged him until he was ashamed, he said—Send. So they sent fifty men, and made search three days, but found him not.
Men lè yo te bourade li jiskaske li te wont, li te di yo: “Voye yo”. Konsa, yo te voye senkant mesye. Yo te chache pandan twa jou, men yo pa t jwenn li.
18 And, when they came back unto him, he, having tarried at Jericho, he said unto them, Did I not say unto you, Do not go?
Yo te retounen kote li pandan li te rete Jéricho a. Li te di yo: “Èske mwen pa t di nou ‘Pa ale’?”
19 And the men of the city said unto Elisha, Lo! we pray thee, the situation of the city, is good, as, my lord, seeth, —but, the waters, are bad, and, the land, apt to miscarry.
Konsa, mesye lavil yo te di a Élisée: “Gade byen koulye a, sikonstans vil sa a byen bon, jan mèt mwen konn wè a; men dlo a pa bon e tè a pa pwodwi anyen.”
20 And he said—Bring me a new bowl, and put therein, salt. So they brought it unto him;
Li te di: “Mennen ban m yon veso nèf e mete sèl ladann.” Konsa, yo te mennen ba li.
21 and he went forth unto the spring of the waters, and cast therein, saith, —and said—Thus, saith Yahweh, I have healed these waters; there shall come from thence, no longer, death or aptness to miscarry.
Li te ale nan sous dlo a. Li te jete sèl la ladann e te di: “Konsa pale SENYÈ a: ‘Mwen te pirifye dlo sa yo! P ap gen lanmò ni move tè a ankò.’”
22 So the waters were healed, [as they remain] unto this day, —according to the word of Elisha which he spake.
Konsa, dlo yo rete bon jis jodi a, selon pawòl Élisée te pale a.
23 And he went up from thence, to Bethel, —and, as he was going up on the way, some lads, came forth, out of the city, and made mockery of him, and said to him, Go up, bald head! Go up, bald head!
Alò, soti la, li te monte Béthel. Pandan li t ap monte nan chemen an, jenn gason yo te sòti deyò soti lavil la. Yo te moke li e te di li: “Ale monte, tèt chòv! Ale monte, tèt chòv!”
24 And, when he turned round and saw them, he cursed them, in the name of Yahweh, —and there came forth two she-bears out of the wood, and tare, of them, forty-two youths.
Lè li te gade dèyè li pou l te wè yo, li te modi yo nan non SENYÈ a. Konsa, de lous femèl te sòti nan forè a, e te chire karann-de nan jenn gason pami yo.
25 And he went from thence, unto Mount Carmel, —and, from thence, he returned, to Samaria.
Li te kite la pou rive Mòn Carmel, e soti la, li te rive Samarie.
