2 Wa 2
1 Lè a te rive pou Seyè a te fè Eli moute nan syèl nan yon toubouyon. Eli ak Elize pati ansanm, yo kite lavil Gilgal.
And it came to pass, when Yhwh would take up Elijah into heaven by a whirlwind, that Elijah went with Elisha from Gilgal.
2 Eli di Elize konsa: —Ou mèt rete isit la tande, paske Seyè a ban m' lòd pou m' al Betèl. Men, Elize reponn li: —Mwen pran ou menm ansanm ak Seyè ki vivan an pou temwen, mwen p'ap kite ou ale pou kont ou. Se konsa yo pati ansanm pou lavil Betèl.
And Elijah said unto Elisha, Tarry here, I pray thee; for Yhwh hath sent me to Beth–el. And Elisha said unto him, As Yhwh liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. So they went down to Beth–el.
3 Men, yon gwoup pwofèt ki te rive lavil Betèl vin kontre Elize, yo di l' konsa: —Ou pa konnen Seyè a pral pran mèt ou a jòdi a? Elize reponn yo: —Mwen konn sa wi. Men nou menm, nou pa bezwen di anyen ankò!
And the sons of the prophets that were at Beth–el came forth to Elisha, and said unto him, Knowest thou that Yhwh will take away thy master from thy head to day? And he said, Yea, I know it; hold ye your peace.
4 Apre sa, Eli di Elize: —Koulye a ou mèt rete isit la tande, paske Seyè a te ban m' lòd pou m' al Jeriko. Men, Elize reponn li: —Mwen pran ou menm ansanm ak Seyè ki vivan an pou temwen, mwen p'ap kite ou ale pou kont ou. Se konsa yo pati ansanm pou lavil Jeriko.
And Elijah said unto him, Elisha, tarry here, I pray thee; for Yhwh hath sent me to Jericho. And he said, As Yhwh liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. So they came to Jericho.
5 Yon gwoup pwofèt ki te rete lavil Jeriko vin kontre Elize, yo di l' konsa: —Ou pa konnen Seyè a pral pran mèt ou a jòdi a? Elize reponn: —Mwen konn sa wi! Men nou menm, nou pa bezwen di anyen ankò.
And the sons of the prophets that were at Jericho came to Elisha, and said unto him, Knowest thou that Yhwh will take away thy master from thy head to day? And he answered, Yea, I know it; hold ye your peace.
6 Apre sa, Eli di Elize: —Koulye a ou mèt rete isit la tande, paske Seyè a ban m' lòd pou m' al bò larivyè Jouden. Men, Elize reponn li: —Mwen pran ou menm ansanm ak Seyè ki vivan an pou temwen, mwen p'ap kite ou ale pou kont ou. Se konsa yo pati ansanm ankò.
And Elijah said unto him, Tarry, I pray thee, here; for Yhwh hath sent me to Jordan. And he said, As Yhwh liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And they two went on.
7 Senkant nan pwofèt Jeriko yo t'ap mache dèyè yo. Eli ak Elize rete bò larivyè Jouden an. Senkant pwofèt yo menm rete yon ti distans lwen yo.
And fifty men of the sons of the prophets went, and stood to view afar off: and they two stood by Jordan.
8 Eli wete gwo rad ki te sou li a, li woule l', li frape dlo a avè l'. Dlo a fann de bò. Eli ak Elize janbe lòt bò larivyè a san pye yo pa mouye.
And Elijah took his mantle, and wrapped it together, and smote the waters, and they were divided hither and thither, so that they two went over on dry ground.
9 Lè yo fin janbe, Eli di Elize konsa: —Di m' kisa ou ta vle m' fè pou ou anvan Bondye pran m'. Elize reponn li: —Mwen ta renmen resevwa yon pòsyon doub nan lespri ki sou ou a.
And it came to pass, when they were gone over, that Elijah said unto Elisha, Ask what I shall do for thee, before I be taken away from thee. And Elisha said, I pray thee, let a double portion of thy spirit be upon me.
10 Eli di li: —Sa ou mande m' la a pa fasil. Men, si ou wè m' ak je ou lè m'ap kite ou la, w'ap jwenn sa ou mande a. Men, si ou pa wè m', w'a konnen ou p'ap jwenn li.
And he said, Thou hast asked a hard thing: nevertheless, if thou see me when I am taken from thee, it shall be so unto thee; but if not, it shall not be so.
11 Yo t'ap mache ansanm, yo t'ap pale yonn ak lòt lè yon cha dife ak chwal dife vin nan mitan yo. Epi li pote Eli moute nan syèl nan yon gwo toubouyon.
And it came to pass, as they still went on, and talked, that, behold, there appeared a chariot of fire, and horses of fire, and parted them both asunder; and Elijah went up by a whirlwind into heaven.
12 Lè Elize wè sa, li rele Eli, li di: —Papa mwen! papa mwen! Ou menm ki te tankou yon gwo lame pou pran defans peyi Izrayèl la, ou ale! Epi li pa wè Eli ankò. Yon sèl lapenn pran Elize, li chire rad ki te sou li a fè de moso.
And Elisha saw it, and he cried, My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof. And he saw him no more: and he took hold of his own clothes, and rent them in two pieces.
13 Lèfini, li ranmase gwo rad ki te soti sou zepòl Eli tonbe atè a, epi li tounen. Rive bò larivyè Jouden an li kanpe.
He took up also the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and went back, and stood by the bank of Jordan;
14 Li frape dlo a ak rad ki te soti sou zepòl Eli a, epi li di byen fò: —Kote Seyè a, Bondye Eli a? Li frape dlo a yon dezyèm fwa ak rad Eli a. Dlo a fann de bò. Elize janbe lòt bò larivyè a.
And he took the mantle of Elijah that fell from him, and smote the waters, and said, Where is Yhwh God of Elijah? and when he also had smitten the waters, they parted hither and thither: and Elisha went over.
15 Lè pwofèt Jeriko yo ki te pi devan an wè sa, yo di: —Lespri Eli a sou Elize! Yo vin jwenn li, yo bese tèt yo jouk atè devan l'.
And when the sons of the prophets which were to view at Jericho saw him, they said, The spirit of Elijah doth rest on Elisha. And they came to meet him, and bowed themselves to the ground before him.
16 Yo di li: —Koute. Gen senkant nan nou la a. Nou tout se vanyan gason. Kite n' al chache mèt ou a. Ou pa janm konnen. Lespri Bondye a ka pran l' al lage sou yon mòn osinon nan yon fon. Men, Elize di yo: —Non. Pa voye pesonn dèyè l'.
And they said unto him, Behold now, there be with thy servants fifty strong men; let them go, we pray thee, and seek thy master: lest peradventure the Spirit of Yhwh hath taken him up, and cast him upon some mountain, or into some valley. And he said, Ye shall not send.
17 Men yo kenbe la avè l' jouk li di yo: —Bon. Nou mèt ale! Se konsa yo voye senkant moun yo al chache Eli. Yo pase twa jou ap chache, yo pa jwenn li.
And when they urged him till he was ashamed, he said, Send. They sent therefore fifty men; and they sought three days, but found him not.
18 Yo tounen al jwenn Elize ki te rete ap tann yo lavil Jeriko. Elize di yo: —Mwen pa t' di nou nou pa t' bezwen ale!
And when they came again to him, (for he tarried at Jericho, ) he said unto them, Did I not say unto you, Go not?
19 Moun lavil Jeriko yo vin di Elize: —Mèt, lavil la bati nan yon bon pozisyon, jan ou ka wè l' la. Men, dlo a pa bon, li fè tè a pa bay anyen.
And the men of the city said unto Elisha, Behold, I pray thee, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my lord seeth: but the water is naught, and the ground barren.
20 Elize di yo: —Pote ti gout sèl nan yon bòl tou nèf ban mwen! Yo pote veso sèl la bay Elize.
And he said, Bring me a new cruse, and put salt therein. And they brought it to him.
21 Elize moute nan sous la, li voye sèl jete nan dlo a. Lèfini, li di: —Men sa Seyè a di: M'ap netwaye dlo sa a. Li p'ap janm touye moun ankò, ni li p'ap fè tè a rete san donnen anyen.
And he went forth unto the spring of the waters, and cast the salt in there, and said, Thus saith Yhwh, I have healed these waters; there shall not be from thence any more death or barren land.
22 Depi lè sa a dlo a vin bon jouk jounen jòdi a, jan Elize te di l' la.
So the waters were healed unto this day, according to the saying of Elisha which he spake.
23 Elize kite lavil Jeriko, l' ale lavil Betèl. Li t'ap mache sou chemen an konsa, lè yon bann ti gason soti lavil la, yo pran pase l' nan betiz, yo t'ap rele: —Al fè wout ou, tèt chòv! Al fè wout ou, tèt chòv!
And he went up from thence unto Beth–el: and as he was going up by the way, there came forth little children out of the city, and mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head.
24 Elize vire, li gade ti gason yo, li ba yo madichon nan non Seyè a. Lamenm, de lous soti nan rakbwa a, yo dechire karannde nan ti gason yo.
And he turned back, and looked on them, and cursed them in the name of Yhwh. And there came forth two she bears out of the wood, and tare forty and two children of them.
25 Apre sa, Elize ale mòn Kamèl. Lèfini li tounen lavil Samari.
And he went from thence to mount Carmel, and from thence he returned to Samaria.
