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 Naaman, captain of the army of the king of Aram, was a great man with his master, and honorable, because by him YHWH had given victory to Aram: he was also a mighty man of valor, but he was 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.
The Arameans had gone out in bands, and had brought away captive out of the land of Israel a little maiden; and she waited on Naaman'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.
She said to her mistress, "I wish that my lord were with the prophet who is in Samaria. Then he would heal him of his leprosy."
4 Lè Naaman tande sa, l' al jwenn wa a, li di l' sa tifi a te di.
Someone went in, and told his lord, saying, "The maiden who is from the land of Israel said this."
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.
The king of Aram said, "Go now, and I will send a letter to the king of Israel." He departed, and took with him ten talents of silver, and six thousand pieces of gold, and ten changes of clothing.
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.
He brought the letter to the king of Israel, saying, "Now when this letter has come to you, look, I have sent Naaman my servant to you, that you may heal him of 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.
It happened, when the king of Israel had read the letter, that he tore his clothes, and said, "Am I God, to kill and to make alive, that this man sends to me to heal a man of his leprosy? But please consider and see how he seeks a quarrel 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.
It was so, when Elisha the man of God heard that the king of Israel had torn his clothes, that he sent to the king, saying, "Why have you torn your clothes? Let him come now to me, and he shall 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 Naaman came with his horses and with his chariots, and stood at the door of the house of 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.
Elisha sent a messenger to him, saying, "Go and wash in the Jordan seven times, and your flesh shall come again to you, and you shall 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.
But Naaman was angry, and went away, and said, "Look, I thought, 'He will surely come out to me, and stand, and call on the name of YHWH his God, and wave his hand over the place, and heal 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.
Aren't Abanah and Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Couldn't I go wash in them, and be clean?" So 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?
His servants came near, and spoke to him, and said, "My father, if the prophet had asked you to do some great thing, wouldn't you have done it? How much rather then, when he says 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.
Then he went down and dipped himself seven times in the Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God; and his flesh was restored like the flesh of a little child, and he was 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.
He returned to the man of God, he and all his company, and came, and stood before him; and he said, "See now, I know that there is no God in all the earth, but in Israel. Now therefore, please take a gift 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.
But he said, "As YHWH lives, before whom I stand, I will receive none." He urged him to take it; but he refused.
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.
Naaman said, "If not, then, please let two mules' burden of earth be given to your servant; for your servant will from now on offer neither burnt offering nor sacrifice to other gods, but 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.
In this thing may YHWH pardon your servant: when my master goes into the house of Rimmon to worship there, and he leans on my hand, and I bow myself in the house of Rimmon. When I bow myself in the house of Rimmon, may YHWH pardon your servant in this thing."
19 Elize reponn li: —Ale ak kè poze! Naaman pati. Lè li rive yon distans,
He said to him, "Go in peace." So 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'.
But Gehazi the servant of Elisha the man of God, said, "Look, my master has spared this Naaman the Aramean, in not receiving at his hands that which he brought. As YHWH lives, I will run after him, and take 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?
So Gehazi followed after Naaman. When Naaman saw one running after him, he came down from the chariot to meet him, and said, "Is all well?"
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.
He said, "All is well. My master has sent me, saying, 'Look, even now two young men of the sons of the prophets have come to me from the hill country of Ephraim. Please give them a talent of silver and two changes of clothing.'"
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.
Naaman said, "Be pleased to take two talents." He urged him, and bound two talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of clothing, and laid them on two of his servants; and they carried 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.
When he came to the hill, he took them from their hand, and stored them in the house. Then he let the men go, and they departed.
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!
But he went in, and stood before his master. Elisha said to him, "Where did you come from, Gehazi?" He said, "Your servant went nowhere."
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.
He said to him, "Did not my heart go with you, when the man turned from his chariot to meet you? Is it a time to receive money, and to receive garments, and olive groves and vineyards, and sheep and cattle, and male servants and female servants?
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.
Therefore the leprosy of Naaman will cling to you and to your descendants forever." He went out from his presence a leper, as white as snow.
