2 Wa 4

1 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.

And one of the wiues of the sonnes of the Prophets cryed vnto Elisha, saying, Thy seruant mine husband is dead, and thou knowest, that thy seruant did feare the Lord: and the creditour is come to take my two sonnes to bee his bondmen.

2 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.

Then Elisha saide vnto her, What shall I do for thee? tell mee, what hast thou at home? And she sayd, Thine handmayd hath nothing at home, saue a pitcher of oyle.

3 Lè sa a Elize di li: —Ale nan vwazenaj. Mande prete valè ja vid ou ka jwenn.

And he sayde, Goe, and borowe thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbours, emptie vessels, and spare not.

4 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.

And when thou art come in, thou shalt shut the doore vpon thee and vpon thy sonnes, and powre out into all those vessels, and set aside those that are full.

5 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.

So shee departed from him, and shut the doore vpon her, and vpon her sonnes. And they brought to her, and she powred out.

6 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.

And when the vessels were full, shee sayde vnto her sonne, Bring mee yet a vessel. And hee said vnto her, There is no moe vessels. And the oyle ceased.

7 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.

Then shee came and tolde the man of God. And he saide, Goe, and sell the oyle, and pay them that thou art in debt vnto, and liue thou and thy children of the rest.

8 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.

And on a time Elisha came to Shunem, and there a woman of great estimation constrained him to eate bread: and as he passed by, he turned in thither to eate bread.

9 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.

And she sayde vnto her husband, Beholde, I know now, that this is an holy man of God that passeth by vs continually.

10 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.

Let vs make him a litle chamber, I pray thee, with walles, and let vs set him there a bed, and a table, and a stoole, and a candlesticke, that hee may turne in thither when hee commeth to vs.

11 Yon jou, Elize te vin lavil Chounèm, li moute nan chanm li, li kouche.

And on a day, hee came thither and turned into the chamber, and lay therein,

12 Li di Gerazi, domestik li a, rele madanm lan pou li. Gerazi rele madanm lan. Lè madanm lan rive,

And sayd to Gehazi his seruant, Call this Shunammite: and when hee called her, she stood before him.

13 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.

Then he sayd vnto him, Say vnto her now, Beholde, thou hast had all this great care for vs, what shall we doe for thee? Is there any thing to bee spoken for thee to the King or to the captaine of the hoste? And shee answered, I dwell among mine owne people.

14 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!

Againe he sayde, What is then to be done for her? Then Gehazi answered, In deede she hath no sonne, and her husband is olde.

15 Elize di: —Rele l' pou mwen! Gerazi rele madanm lan. Madanm lan vini, li kanpe nan papòt la.

Then said he, Cal her. And hee called her, and shee stoode in the doore.

16 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.

And he said, At this time appointed, according to the time of life, thou shalt embrace a sonne. And she sayd, Oh my Lord, thou man of God, doe not lye vnto thine handmayd.

17 Men, madanm lan vin ansent jan Elize te di l' la. Se konsa ennan apre, li fè yon pitit gason.

So the woman conceiued, and bare a sonne at that same season, according to the time of life, that Elisha had sayd vnto her.

18 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,

And when the childe was growen, it fell on a day, that he went out to his father, and to the reapers.

19 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'.

And he sayde to his father, Mine head, mine head. Who sayd to his seruant, Beare him to his mother.

20 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.

And hee tooke him and brought him to his mother, and hee sate on her knees till noone, and dyed.

21 Manman an moute avè l' nan chanm Elize a. Li mete l' kouche sou kabann lan. Li fèmen pòt la, epi li soti.

Then shee went vp, and layed him on the bed of the man of God, and shut the doore vpon him, and went out.

22 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.

Then she called to her husband, and sayd, Send with me, I pray thee, one of the yong men and one of the asses: for I will haste to the man of God, and come againe.

23 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!

And he sayd, Wherefore wilt thou goe to him to day? it is neither newe moone nor Sabbath day. And she answered, All shalbe well.

24 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.

Then she sadled an asse, and sayde to her seruant, Driue, and goe forward: staye not for me to get vp, except I bid thee.

25 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.

So she went, and came vnto the man of God to mount Carmel. And when the man of God sawe her ouer against him, he sayd to Gehazi his seruant, Beholde, the Shunammite.

26 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.

Runne nowe, I say, to meete her, and say vnto her, Art thou in health? is thine husband in health? and is the child in health? And she answered, We are in health.

27 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.

And when shee came to the man of God vnto the moutaine, she caught him by his feete: and Gehazi went to her, to thrust her away: but the man of God said, Let her alone: for her soule is vexed within her, and the Lord hath hid it from me, and hath not told it mee.

28 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?

Then she said, Did I desire a sonne of my lord? did I not say, Deceiue me not?

29 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.

Then he sayd to Gehazi, Gird thy loynes, and take my staffe in thine hand, and goe thy way: if thou meete any, salute him not: and if any salute thee, answere him not: and laye my staffe vpon the face of the childe.

30 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'.

And the mother of the childe sayde, As the Lord liueth, and as thy soule liueth, I will not leaue thee. Therefore he arose, and followed her.

31 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.

But Gehazi was gone before them, and had layed the staffe vpon the face of the childe, but he neither spake nor heard: wherefore hee returned to meete him, and told him, saying, The childe is not waken.

32 Lè Elize rive, li moute pou kont li nan chanm lan. Li wè ti gason an mouri kouche sou kabann lan.

Then came Elisha into the house, and beholde, the childe was dead, and layed vpon his bedde.

33 Li fèmen pòt la, epi li pran lapriyè Seyè a.

He went in therefore, and shut the doore vpon them twayne, and prayed vnto the Lord.

34 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.

After he went vp, and lay vpon the child, and put his mouth on his mouth, and his eyes vpon his eies, and his hands vpon his handes, and stretched himselfe vpon him, and the flesh of the child waxed warme.

35 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'.

And hee went from him, and walked vp and downe in the house, and went vp and spred himselfe vpon him: then the childe neesed seuen times, and opened his eyes.

36 Elize rele Gerazi, li di l': —Rele madanm lan pou mwen. Lè madanm lan vini, li di l': —Men pitit gason ou lan.

Then he called Gehazi, and sayd, Call this Shunammite. So he called her, which came in vnto him. And he said vnto her, Take thy sonne.

37 Madanm lan tonbe ajenou nan pye Elize, li bese tèt li jouk atè. Lèfini, li pran pitit li, l' ale.

And she came, and fell at his feete, and bowed her selfe to the ground, and tooke vp her sonne, and went out.

38 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.

Afterward Elisha returned to Gilgal, and a famine was in the land, and the children of the Prophets dwelt with him. And hee sayd vnto his seruant, Set on the great pot, and seethe pottage for the children of the Prophets.

39 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.

And one went out into the fielde, to gather herbes, and founde, as it were, a wilde vine, and gathered thereof wilde gourdes his garment ful, and came and shred them into the pot of pottage: for they knew it not.

40 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.

So they powred out for the men to eate: and when they did eate of the pottage, they cryed out, and sayde, O thou man of God, death is in the pot: and they could not eate thereof.

41 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.

Then he said, Bring meale. And hee cast it into the potte, and sayd, Powre out for the people, that they may eate: and there was none euill in the pot.

42 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.

Then came a man from Baal-shalisha, and brought the man of God bread of the first fruits, euen twenty loaues of barley, and full eares of corne in the huske. And hee saide, Giue vnto the people, that they may eate.

43 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.

And his seruant answered, How shoulde I set this before an hundreth men? He sayd againe, Giue it vnto the people, that they may eate: for thus sayth the Lord, They shall eate, and there shall remaine.

44 Domestik la sèvi manje a. Tout pwofèt yo manje, yo kite rès jan Seyè a te di l' la.

So he set it before them, and they did eate, and left ouer, according to the word of the Lord.
