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.
It happened, when YHWH would take up Elijah by a whirlwind into heaven, 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.
Elijah said to Elisha, "Please wait here, for YHWH has sent me as far as Bethel." Elisha said, "As YHWH lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you." So they went down to Bethel.
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!
The sons of the prophets who were at Bethel came out to Elisha, and said to him, "Do you know that YHWH will take away your master from your head today?" He said, "Yes, I know it; hold 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.
Elijah said to him, "Elisha, please wait here, for YHWH has sent me to Jericho." He said, "As YHWH lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you." 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.
The sons of the prophets who were at Jericho came near to Elisha, and said to him, "Do you know that YHWH will take away your master from your head today?" He answered, "Yes, I know it. Hold 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.
Elijah said to him, "Please wait here, for YHWH has sent me to the Jordan." He said, "As YHWH lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you." They both 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.
Fifty men of the sons of the prophets went, and stood opposite them at a distance; and they both stood by the 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.
Elijah took his cloak, and wrapped it together, and struck the waters, and they were divided here and there, so that the two of them 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.
It happened, when they had gone over, that Elijah said to Elisha, "Ask what I shall do for you, before I am taken from you." Elisha said, "Please let a double portion of your spirit be on 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.
He said, "You have asked a hard thing. If you see me when I am taken from you, it shall be so for you; 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.
It happened, as they still went on, and talked, that look, a chariot of fire and horses of fire separated them; 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.
Elisha saw it, and he cried, "My father, my father, the chariots of Israel and its horsemen." He saw him no more: and he took hold of his own clothes, and tore 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.
And he picked up the cloak of Elijah that fell from him, and went back, and stood by the bank of the 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 cloak of Elijah that fell from him, and struck the water, and it did not divide. And he said, "Where is YHWH, the God of Elijah, even he?" And he struck the water a second time, and they divided to the one side and to the other; and Elisha crossed 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'.
When the sons of the prophets who were at Jericho over against him saw him, they said, "The spirit of Elijah rests on Elisha." 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 to him, "See now, there are with your servants fifty strong men. Please let them go and seek your master. Perhaps the Spirit of YHWH has taken him up and thrown him into the Jordan, or on some mountain, or into some valley." And he said, "Do not send them."
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.
When they urged him until he was ashamed, he said, "Send them." They sent therefore fifty men; and they searched for three days, but did not find him.
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!
They came back to him, while he stayed at Jericho; and he said to them, "Did I not tell you not to go?"
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.
The men of the city said to Elisha, "Look, please, the situation of this city is pleasant, as my lord sees; but the water is bad, and the land miscarries."
20 Elize di yo: —Pote ti gout sèl nan yon bòl tou nèf ban mwen! Yo pote veso sèl la bay Elize.
He said, "Bring me a new jar, and put salt in it." 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.
He went out to the spring of the waters, and threw salt into it, and said, "Thus says YHWH, 'I have healed these waters. There shall not be from there any more death or miscarrying.'"
22 Depi lè sa a dlo a vin bon jouk jounen jòdi a, jan Elize te di l' la.
So the waters were healed to this day, according to the word of Elisha which he spoke.
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!
He went up from there to Bethel. As he was going up by the way, some youths came out of the city and mocked him, and said to him, "Go up, you baldy. Go up, you baldhead."
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.
He looked behind him and saw them, and cursed them in the name of YHWH. Two female bears came out of the woods, and mauled forty-two of those youths.
25 Apre sa, Elize ale mòn Kamèl. Lèfini li tounen lavil Samari.
He went from there to Mount Carmel, and from there he returned to Samaria.
