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.
And Naaman, head of the host of the king of Aram, was a great man before his lord, and accepted of face, for YHWH had given salvation to Aram by him, and the man was mighty in valor, [but] leprous.
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 Arameans have gone out [by] troops, and they take a little girl captive out of the land of Israel, and she is before the wife of Naaman,
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 says to her mistress, “O that my lord [were] before the prophet who [is] in Samaria; then he recovers him from his leprosy.”
4 Lè Naaman tande sa, l' al jwenn wa a, li di l' sa tifi a te di.
And [one] goes in and declares [it] to his lord, saying, “Thus and thus the girl who [is] from the land of Israel has spoken.”
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 Aram says, “Go, enter, and I send a letter to the king of Israel”; and he goes and takes in his hand ten talents of silver, and six thousand [pieces] of gold, and ten changes of garments.
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 brings in the letter to the king of Israel, saying, “And now, at the coming in of this letter to you, behold, I have sent my servant Naaman to you, and you have recovered 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 comes to pass, at the king of Israel’s reading the letter, that he tears his garments and says, “Am I God, to put to death and to keep alive, that this [one] is sending to me to recover a man from his leprosy? For surely know now, and see, for he is presenting himself to 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 comes to pass, at Elisha the man of God’s hearing that the king of Israel has torn his garments, that he sends to the king, saying, “Why have you torn your garments? Please let him come to me, and he knows 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.
And Naaman comes, with his horses and with his chariot, and stands at the opening of the house for Elisha;
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 Elisha sends a messenger to him, saying, “Go, and you have washed seven times in the Jordan, and your flesh turns back to you—and be clean.”
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 Naaman is angry, and goes on and says, “Behold, I said, He certainly comes out to me, and has stood and called in the Name of his God YHWH, and waved his hand over the place, and recovered 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 Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Do I not wash in them and I have been clean?” And he turns and goes on in fury.
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 come near, and speak to him, and say, “My father, the prophet had spoken a great thing to you—do you not do [it]? And surely, when he has said to you, Wash, and be clean.”
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.
And he goes down and dips in the Jordan seven times, according to the word of the man of God, and his flesh turns back as the flesh of a little youth, and is clean.
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 turns back to the man of God, he and all his camp, and comes in, and stands before him, and says, “Now behold, I have known that there is not a God in all the earth except in Israel; and now, please take a blessing from 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 he says, “YHWH lives, before whom I have stood—if I take [it]”; and he presses on him to take, and he refuses.
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 Naaman says, “If not, please let a couple of mules’ burden of earth be given to your servant, for your servant makes no more burnt-offering and sacrifice to other gods, but [only sacrifices] to YHWH.
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.
For in this thing may YHWH be propitious to your servant, in the coming in of my lord into the house of Rimmon to bow himself there, and he was supported by my hand, and I bowed myself [in] the house of Rimmon; for my bowing myself in the house of Rimmon, may YHWH now be propitious to your servant in this thing.”
19 Elize reponn li: —Ale ak kè poze! Naaman pati. Lè li rive yon distans,
And he says to him, “Go in peace.” And he goes from him a distance of land,
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 Gehazi, servant of Elisha the man of God, says, “Behold, my lord has spared this Aramean Naaman, not to receive from his hand that which he brought; for YHWH lives; if I have run after him, then I have taken something from 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?
And Gehazi pursues after Naaman, and Naaman sees one running after him, and comes down off the chariot to meet him, and says, “Is there peace?”
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 he says, “Peace; my lord has sent me, saying, Behold, now, this, two young men of the sons of the prophets have come to me from the hill-country of Ephraim; please give a talent of silver and two changes of garments to them.”
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 Naaman says, “Be pleased, take two talents”; and he urges him, and binds two talents of silver in two purses, and two changes of garments, and gives [them] to two of his young men, and they carry [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 comes to the high place, and takes [them] out of their hand, and lays [them] up in the house, and sends the men away, and they go.
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 has come in, and stands by his lord, and Elisha says to him, “From where—Gehazi?” And he says, “Your servant did not go here or there.”
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.
And he says to him, “My heart did not go when the man turned from off his chariot to meet you; is it a time to take silver, and to take garments, and olives, and vines, and flock, and herd, 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.
Indeed, the leprosy of Naaman cleaves to you and to your seed for all time”; and he goes out from before him—leprous as snow.
