2 Kings 8
1 After Elisha caused the son of the woman from Shunem [town] to become alive again, he told her that she should leave with her family and live somewhere else for a while, because Yahweh was going to (send a famine/cause food to become very scarce) in the land. He said that the famine would last for seven years.
Elize te pale ak madanm ki te manman ti gason li te fè tounen vivan sot nan lanmò a, li te di l' pou li pati ansanm ak tout fanmi l' al viv nan yon lòt peyi paske Seyè a te fè konnen talè konsa yon gwo grangou tapral tonbe sou tout peyi a pou sètan.
2 So the woman did what Elisha told her to do. She and her family went to live in [the] Philistia [region] for seven years.
Fanm lan leve, li fè sa pwofèt la te ba li konsèy fè a. Li pati ansanm ak tout fanmi l' al rete nan peyi Filisti a pandan sètan.
3 After the seven years were ended, they returned to their home. The woman went to the king to request that her house and her land be given back to her.
Lè sètan yo fin pase, li tounen nan peyi Izrayèl, l' al jwenn wa a, li mande l' pou yo renmèt li kay li ak jaden li.
4 When she arrived, the king was talking with Gehazi, Elisha’s servant. The king was saying to him, “Tell me all the great things that Elisha has done.”
Li jwenn wa a t'ap pale ak Gerazi, domestik pwofèt Bondye a, paske wa a te mande l' pou l' te vin rakonte l' tout bèl bagay Elize te fè yo.
5 While Gehazi was telling the king that Elisha had caused the son of a woman [from Shunem] to become alive again, that woman came in and requested the king to enable her to get her house and land back again. Gehazi exclaimed, “Your Majesty, this is the woman whose son Elisha caused to become alive again!”
Gerazi t'ap rakonte wa a kijan Elize te fè pitit gason yon fanm leve soti vivan nan lanmò lè madanm lan vin pale ak wa a pou kay li ak jaden l' yo. Gerazi di wa a: —Monwa, men madanm lan ansanm ak pitit gason Elize te fè leve soti vivan nan lanmò a.
6 When the king asked her about it, she told him [that what Gehazi had said was true]. The king summoned one of his officials and said to him, “[I want] everything that this woman possessed previously, including the value of all the crops that have been harvested during these last seven years while she was away from her land, [to] be given back to her.” [So the official did that].
Wa a mande madanm lan pou li rakonte l' jan sa te pase. Lè madanm lan fini, wa a bay yonn nan chèf li yo lòd renmèt madanm lan tou sa ki te pou li ansanm ak tou sa jaden yo te rapòte depi jou li te kite peyi a rive jouk jou li tounen an.
7 Elisha went to Damascus, [the capital of Syria], when Ben-Hadad, the king of Syria, was [very] sick. When someone told the king that Elisha was in Damascus,
Apre sa, Elize ale lavil Damas. Bennadad, wa peyi Siri a, te malad. y' al di wa a pwofèt la te nan lavil la.
8 the king told [one of his officials named] Hazael, “Go and talk to that prophet and take a present/gift with you to give to him. Request him to ask Yahweh if I will recover from my illness.”
Wa a rele Azayèl, yonn nan chèf li yo, li di l' konsa: —Pote yon bagay fè pwofèt Bondye a kado. Lèfini, mande l' pou l' pale ak Seyè a pou konnen si m'ap leve anba maladi sa a.
9 So Hazael went to talk with Elisha. He took with him forty camels that were carrying many kinds of goods that were produced in Damascus. When Hazael met him, he said to him, “Your friend Ben-Hadad, the king of Syria, sent me to ask you whether [you think] he will recover from his illness.”
Se konsa Azayèl al wè Elize, li pran tout kalite bon bagay li jwenn lavil Damas, li chaje yo sou karant chamo pote bay Elize. Lè li rive devan Elize, li di l' konsa: —Pitit ou, Bennadad, wa peyi Siri a, voye m' vin mande ou si l'ap leve anba maladi l' la.
10 Elisha said to Hazael, “Go and say to him, ‘Yes, you will certainly not die from this illness,’ but Yahweh has shown me that he will certainly die [before he recovers].”
Elize reponn: —Seyè a fè m' konnen l'ap mouri, men ou menm, al di l' l'ap refè.
11 Then Elisha stared at him and had a terrified look on his face. That caused Hazael to feel uneasy/embarrassed. Then [suddenly] Elisha started to cry.
Lè li fin di sa, Elize pran gade Azayèl nan je. Lè Azayèl wè sa, sa jennen l' anpil. Elize rete konsa, dlo pran kouri nan je l'.
12 Hazael said, “Sir, why are you crying?” Elisha replied, “Because [Yahweh has enabled] me [to] know the terrible things that you will do to the people of Israel: You will burn their cities with walls around them, you will kill their fine young men with a sword, you will bash the heads of their children, and you will rip open the bellies of their pregnant women [with a sword].”
Azayèl mande l': —Mèt, poukisa w'ap kriye a? Elize reponn: —Paske mwen gen tan konnen tou sa ou pral fè pèp Izrayèl la pase. Ou pral met dife nan gwo fò yo, ou pral touye jenn gason l' yo ak nepe, ou pral kraze pitit yo, ou pral louvri vant fanm ansent yo.
13 Hazael replied, “I am [as insignificant as] [MET] a dog; (how could I do such things?/I would never do such terrible things!)” [RHQ] Elisha replied, “Yahweh has also revealed to me that you will become the king of Syria.”
Azayèl mande l': —Kisa m' ye menm pou m' ta rive fè tou sa? Mwen pa pi bon pase yon chen. Elize reponn li: —Seyè a fè m' konnen se ou ki pral wa peyi Siri.
14 Then Hazael left and returned to his master/boss [the king], who asked him, “What did Elisha say?” He replied, “He told me that you would certainly recover.”
Azayèl kite Elize, li tounen al jwenn mèt li ki mande l': —Sa Elize di ou? Li reponn: —Li di m' li sèten w'ap refè.
15 But the next day, [while the king was sleeping, ] Hazael took a blanket and soaked it in water. Then he spread it on the king’s face [in order that he could not breathe], and he died. Then Hazael became the king of Syria instead of Ben-Hadad.
Men nan denmen, Azayèl pran yon dra, li plonje l' nan dlo, li mete l' sou figi wa a. Wa a toufe, li mouri. Azayèl moute wa sou fotèy Siri a nan plas Bennadad.
16 After King Joram, the son of Ahab, had been ruling in Israel for almost five years, Jehoshaphat’s son Jehoram became the king of Judah.
Wa Joram, pitit gason Akab la, t'ap mache sou senkan depi li t'ap gouvènen peyi Izrayèl lè Joram, pitit gason Jozafa ki te wa peyi Jida a, moute wa nan plas papa l'.
17 He was thirty-two years old when he became the king, and he ruled in Jerusalem for eight years.
Li te gen tranndezan lè li moute wa. Li gouvènen nan lavil Jerizalèm pandan witan.
18 His wife was the daughter of King Ahab. And like everyone in Ahab’s family, he continually did the evil things that the previous kings of Israel had done. He did things that Yahweh considered to be evil.
Li te marye ak yon pitit fi Akab. Tankou lòt moun fanmi Akab yo, li mache pye pou pye dèyè wa peyi Izrayèl yo. Li fè sa ki mal nan je Seyè a.
19 But Yahweh did not want to get rid of the people of Judah, because of what he had promised David, who served him [very well]. He had promised David that his descendants [MET] would always rule Judah.
Men, Seyè a pa t' vle detwi peyi Jida a, paske li te pwomèt David, sèvitè l' la, t'ap toujou gen yon moun nan ras li pou gouvènen peyi a devan Seyè a.
20 During the time that Jehoram ruled, [the king of] Edom rebelled against Judah, and they appointed their own king.
Sou reny wa Joram, moun peyi Edon yo pran lezam kont moun peyi Jida yo. Yo pran libète granmoun yo. Yo nonmen yon wa pou gouvènen yo.
21 So Jehoram went with his army and all their chariots to Zair [city near the border of Edom]. There the army of Edom surrounded them. But during the night, Jehoram and the commanders in their chariots were able to get through the enemy lines and escaped. And all his soldiers also fled to their homes.
Se konsa Joram soti ak tout cha lagè li yo, li mache sou lavil Zayi. Lame moun Edon yo sènen l'. Pandan lannwit, li menm ak chèf cha lagè li yo, yo leve yo atake moun Edon yo ki te sènen yo, yo pase soti nan mitan yo, yo chape. Tout sòlda yo gaye al lakay yo.
22 So after that, Edom was no longer controlled by Judah, and it is still like that. During that same time, the people of Libnah [city] also freed themselves from being controlled by Judah.
Se depi lè sa a, peyi Edon an soti anba lòd peyi Jida, yo granmoun lakay yo. Se menm lè a tou moun lavil Libna yo pran libète granmoun yo tou.
23 [If you want to read about] the other things that Jehoram did, they are written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.
N'a jwenn rès istwa Joram ak tou sa li te fè ekri nan liv Istwa wa peyi Jida yo.
24 Jehoram died [EUP] and was buried where the other kings of Judah had been buried in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’. Then Jehoram’s son Ahaziah became the king.
Lè Joram mouri, yo antere l' nan kavo zansèt li yo nan lavil David la. Apre sa, se Okozyas, pitit li a, ki moute wa nan plas li.
25 After Ahab’s son Joram has been ruling in Israel for almost twelve years, Jehoram’s son Ahaziah became the king of Judah.
Wa Joram, pitit Akab la, t'ap mache sou douzan depi li t'ap gouvènen peyi Izrayèl lè Okozyas, pitit Joram, moute wa sou fotèy peyi Jida a.
26 Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he started to rule. He ruled in Jerusalem for [only] one year. His mother’s name was Athaliah, [the daughter of King Ahab and] the granddaughter of King Omri of Israel.
Li te gen venndezan. Li gouvènen nan lavil Jerizalèm pandan ennan. Manman l' te rele Atali. Se te pitit fi Akab, pitit pitit fi Omri, tou de wa peyi Izrayèl.
27 King Ahab conducted his life just like the members of Ahab’s family had done. He did things that Yahweh considered to be very evil.
Okozyas mache pye pou pye dèyè moun fanmi Akab yo. Li te marye nan fanmi wa Akab. Li fè sa ki mal nan je Seyè a tankou yo.
28 Ahaziah’s army joined the army of King Joram of Israel to fight against the army of King Hazael of Syria. Their armies started fighting at Ramoth [city] in [the] Gilead [region], and the soldiers of Syria wounded Joram.
Wa Okozyas mete tèt ansanm ak wa Joram, pitit Akab, pou y' al atake Azayèl, wa peyi Siri a. Lame yo kontre yonn ak lòt bò lavil Ramòt nan peyi Galarad. Sòlda peyi Siri yo blese Joram nan batay la.
29 King Joram returned to Jezreel [city] to recover from his wounds. King Ahaziah went to visit him there.
Joram tounen lavil Jizreyèl pou l' te refè anba kou sòlda peyi Siri yo te ba li lavi Ramòt lè li t'ap goumen ak Azayèl, wa peyi Siri a. Okozyas, pitit Joram, wa peyi Jida a, desann lavil Jizreyèl al wè wa Joram, pitit Akab la, paske Joram te malad.
