2 Wa 5
1 Naaman, kòmandan lame wa peyi Siri a, te yon nonm wa a te renmen anpil. Li te ba li anpil favè paske se gremesi Naaman Seyè a te fè peyi Siri a genyen nan tout batay li yo. Se te yon vanyan sòlda, men li trape yon move maladi po.
Now Naiman, the captain of the host of Syria, was a great man before his master, and highly respected, because by him the Lord had given deliverance to Syria, and the man was mighty in strength, [but] a leper.
2 Yon lè yon bann moun peyi Siri t al fè piyay nan peyi Izrayèl la, yo te fè yon tifi moun Izrayèl yo prizonye. Tifi a te rete ak madan Naaman.
And the Syrians went forth in small bands, and took captive out of the land of Israel a little maid: and she waited on Naiman's wife.
3 Yon jou, li di metrès li a: —Si mèt mwen te ka al wè pwofèt ki nan peyi Samari a, pwofèt la ta ka geri maladi a wi.
And she said to her mistress, O that my lord were before the prophet of God in Samaria; then he would recover him from his leprosy.
4 Lè Naaman tande sa, l' al jwenn wa a, li di l' sa tifi a te di.
And she went in and told her lord, and said, Thus and thus spoke the maid from the land of Israel.
5 Wa Siri a reponn: —Bon, ou pral jwenn wa peyi Izrayèl la, m'ap ba ou yon lèt pou li. Se konsa Naaman pati. Li te pote trantmil (30.000) pyès ajan, simil (6.000) pyès lò ak dis rad nèf fèt ak bon twal fen.
And the king of Syria said to Naiman, Go to, go, and I will send a letter to the king of Israel. And he went, and took in his hand ten talents of silver, and six thousand pieces of gold, and ten changes of raiment.
6 Li renmèt lèt la bay wa peyi Izrayèl la. Men sa ki te ekri nan lèt la: Mwen voye Naaman, yonn nan chèf mwen yo, avèk lèt sa a pou ou ka geri maladi po l' la.
And he brought the letter to the king of Israel, saying, Now then, as soon as this letter shall reach you, behold, I have sent to you my servant Naiman, and you shall recover him from his leprosy.
7 Lè wa peyi Izrayèl la li lèt la, li vin gen yon kè sere, li chire rad sou li epi li di: —Eske se Bondye ki bay lavi ki bay lanmò mwen ye pou msye voye yon moun ak maladi pou m' geri l'? Nou tou wè se chache l'ap chache m' kont.
And it came to pass, when the king of Israel read the letter, [that] he tore his garments, and said, [Am] I God, to kill and to make alive, that this [man] sends to me to recover a man of his leprosy? consider, however, I pray you, and see that this [man] seeks an occasion against me.
8 Lè pwofèt Elize vin konnen jan wa a te nan tèt chaje pou lèt la, li voye di l': —Poukisa ou gen kè sere konsa? Voye moun lan ban mwen, m'a fè l' konnen gen yon pwofèt nan peyi Izrayèl la.
And it came to pass, when Elisaie heard that the king of Israel had tore his garments, that he sent to the king of Israel, saying, Therefore have you tore your garments? Let Naiman, I pray you, come to me, and let him know that there is a prophet in Israel.
9 Se konsa Naaman ale ak cha li a ansanm ak chwal li yo. Li rete devan pòt kay Elize a.
So Naiman came with horse and chariot, and stood at the door of the house of Elisaie.
10 Men Elize voye yon mesaje di l': —Ale lave kò ou sèt fwa nan larivyè Jouden an, maladi po a va disparèt sou kò ou. W'a geri.
And Elisaie sent a messenger to him, saying, Go and wash seven times in Jordan, and your flesh shall return to you, and you shall be cleansed.
11 Naaman fache, li vire do l' ale. Li di: —Mwen te kwè li t'ap soti vin resevwa m'. Apre sa, li ta lapriyè Seyè a, Bondye l' la. Li ta pase men l' kote ki malad la, konsa mwen ta geri.
And Naiman was angry, and departed, and said, Behold, I said, He will by all means come out to me, and stand, and call on the name of his God, and lay his hand upon the place, and recover the leper.
12 Lèfini, èske dlo larivyè Abana ak larivyè Fafa nan peyi Damas yo pa pi bon pase nenpòt dlo larivyè nan peyi Izrayèl yo? Mwen ta ka benyen ladan yo tou, mwen ta geri. Li vire do l' ale byen move.
[Are] not the Abana and Pharphar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? may I not go and wash in them, and be cleansed? and he turned and went away in a rage.
13 Men, domestik li yo al jwenn li, yo di l' konsa: —Mèt, si pwofèt la te mande ou yon bagay pi difisil, èske ou pa ta fè l'? Poukisa koulye a ou pa al lave kò ou pou ou ka geri jan li di ou la?
And his servants came near and said to him, [Suppose] the prophet had spoken a great thing to you, would you not perform it? yet he has but said to you, Wash, and be cleansed.
14 Naaman ale, li plonje sèt fwa nan larivyè Jouden an, jan pwofèt la te di l' la. Po kò l' tounen tankou po timoun. Li te geri nèt.
So Naiman went down, and dipped himself seven times in Jordan, according to the word of Elisaie: and his flesh returned to him as the flesh of a little child, and he was cleansed.
15 Lè sa a li tounen bò kote sèvitè Bondye a ansanm ak tout moun ki te avè l' yo. Li kanpe devan l', li di l' konsa: —Koulye a, mwen konnen pa gen Bondye lòt kote sou latè pase nan peyi Izrayèl la. Tanpri, resevwa kado m'ap ba ou la a.
And he and all his company returned to Elisaie, and he came and stood before him, and said, Behold, I know that there is no God in all the earth, save only in Israel: and now receive a blessing of your servant.
16 Men Elize di l': —Mwen pran Seyè vivan m'ap sèvi a pou temwen, mwen p'ap resevwa ankenn kado. Naaman t'ap fòse l' pou l' pran kado a, men Elize derefize.
And Elisaie said, [As] the Lord lives, before whom I stand, I will not take [one]. And he pressed him to take [one]: but he would not.
17 Lè sa a, Naaman di: —Dakò, ou pa vle. Men tanpri, ban m' ti gout tè pou m' chaje sou de milèt pote ale avè m'. Paske mwen menm ki la pou sèvi ou la, depi jòdi a mwen p'ap fè ofrann, mwen p'ap boule bèt pou ankenn lòt bondye pase pou Seyè a.
And Naiman said, Well then, if not, let there be given to your servant, I pray you, the load [of a] yoke of mules; and you shall give me of the red earth: for henceforth your servant will not offer whole burnt offering or sacrifice to other gods, but only to the Lord by [reason of] this thing.
18 Tansèlman, se pou Seyè a padonnen m' kichòy. Lè chèf mwen pral fè sèvis nan tanp Rimon an, se pou l' apiye sou bra m', mwen fèt pou m' bese tèt ansanm avè l' nan tanp lan. Mwen ta mande Seyè a pou l' padonnen m' sa.
And let the Lord be propitious to your servant when my master goes into the house of Remman to worship there, and he shall lean on my hand, and I shall bow down in the house of Remman when he bows down in the house of Remman; even let the Lord, I pray, be merciful to your servant in this matter.
19 Elize reponn li: —Ale ak kè poze! Naaman pati. Lè li rive yon distans,
And Elisaie said to Naiman, Go in peace. And he departed from him a little way.
20 Gerazi, domestik Elize, pwofèt Bondye a, di nan kè l': —Mèt mwen kite Naaman, moun Siri a, ale, li pa pran anyen nan sa l' te pote pou li a. Mwen pran Seyè vivan an pou temwen, mwen pral kouri dèyè l' pou m' pran kichòy nan men l'.
And Giezi the servant of Elisaie said, Behold, my Lord has spared this Syrian Naiman, so as not to take of his hand what he has brought: as the Lord lives, I will surely run after him, and take somewhat of him.
21 Se konsa li pati dèyè Naaman. Lè Naaman wè l' ap kouri vin jwenn li, li prese desann sot sou cha li a, l' al jwenn li, li mande l': —Ki malè ki rive?
So Giezi followed after Naiman: and Naiman saw him running after him, and turned back from his chariot to meet him.
22 Gerazi reponn li: —Se pa anyen non. Se mèt mwen ki voye m' di ou konsa gen de jenn pwofèt ki soti nan mòn Efrayim yo ki fèk rive lakay li, li ta renmen ou voye twasan (300) pyès ajan ak de rad nèf pou l' ba yo.
And [Giezi] said, All is well: my master has sent me, saying, Behold, now are there come to me two young men of the sons of the prophets from mount Ephraim; give them, I pray you, a talent of silver, and two changes of raiment.
23 Naaman reponn: —Tanpri, pran sisan (600) pyès ajan. Li fòse l' pran yo, li mare pyès ajan yo nan de ti sak, li lonje yo bay de nan domestik pa l' yo ansanm ak de bèl rechanj pou yo pote yo devan Gerazi.
And [Naiman] said, Take two talents of silver. And he took two talents of silver in two bags, and two changes of raiment, and put them upon two of his servants, and they bore them before him.
24 Lè yo rive sou ti mòn lan, Gerazi pran de ti sak yo nan men domestik yo, li mete yo lakay li, lèfini, li voye domestik Naaman yo ale fè wout yo.
And he came to a secret place, and took them from their hands, and laid them up in the house, and dismissed the men.
25 Apre sa, l' ale jwenn mèt li. Elize mande l': —Gerazi, kote ou soti? Gerazi reponn: —M' pa t al ankenn kote non, mèt!
And he went in himself and stood before his master; and Elisaie said to him,
26 Elize di li: —Mwen te la avè ou, nan lespri m', lè nonm lan desann soti sou cha li a pou l' resevwa ou. Men se pa lè sa a pou nou resevwa lajan ak rad ni pou n' achte jaden oliv, jaden rezen, bèf, mouton, kabrit, osinon fanm ak gason pou sèvi nou esklav.
Whence [come you], Giezi? and Giezi said, Your servant has not been hither or there. And Elisaie said to him, Went not my heart with you, when the man returned from his chariot to meet you? and now you have received silver, and now you have received raiment, and olive yards, and vineyards, and sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and maidservants.
27 Se poutèt sa, maladi Naaman an pral tonbe sou ou, sou pitit ak pitit pitit ou yo pou tout tan. Lè Gerazi soti, li te gen maladi po a. Po kò l' te blan kou koton.
The leprosy also of Naiman shall cleave to you, and to your seed for ever. And he went out from his presence leprous, like snow.
