2 Wa 6
1 Yon jou, pwofèt yo di Elize konsa: —Gade, kote n'ap viv avè ou la vin twò piti pou nou.
And the sons of the prophets said to Elisaie, Behold now, the place wherein we dwell before you is too narrow for us.
2 Kite n' ale larivyè Jouden an. Nou chak va koupe yon madriye, n'a bati yon kay la pou nou ka viv. Elize reponn: —Ale non!
Let us go, we pray you, to Jordan, and take thence every man a beam, and make for ourselves a habitation there.
3 Yonn nan pwofèt yo mande l': —Tanpri, mèt, ann al avè nou non! Li di: —Dakò.
And he said, Go. And one of them said gently, Come with your servants. And he said, I will go.
4 Li pati ak yo. Lè yo rive bò larivyè Jouden an, yo tanmen koupe bwa.
And he went with them, and they came to Jordan, and began to cut down wood.
5 Yonn ladan yo t'ap koupe yon madriye lè rach la soti nan manch li, li tonbe nan dlo a. Li pran rele: —Mèt, mèt! Sa m' pral fè la a? Se prete yo te prete m' rach la wi!
And behold, one was cutting down a beam, and the axe head fell into the water: and he cried out, Alas! master: and it was hidden.
6 Elize mande l': —Kote rach la tonbe la a? Li moutre l' kote a. Elize kase yon moso bwa, li voye l' nan dlo a. Rach la moute anwo dlo a.
And the man of God said, Where did it fall? and he showed him the place: and he broke off a stick, and threw it in there, and the iron came to the surface.
7 Elize di l': —Wete l' nan dlo a. Pwofèt la lonje men l', li pran rach la.
And he said, Take it up to yourself. And he stretched out his hand, and took it.
8 Wa peyi Siri a t'ap fè lagè ak peyi Izrayèl la. Li reyini chèf li yo, li di yo ki kote li pral moute kan lame a.
And the king of Syria was at war with Israel: and he consulted with his servants, saying, I will encamp in such a place.
9 Men, Elize voye avèti wa peyi Izrayèl la pou l' pa pwoche bò tèl kote, paske lame peyi Siri a desann la ap tann li.
And Elisaie sent to the king of Israel, saying, Take heed that you pass not by that place, for the Syrians are hidden there.
10 Se konsa wa peyi Izrayèl la voye yon mesaje al avèti moun ki nan zòn Elize te di l' la pou yo rete sou prigad yo. Sa rive plizyè fwa.
And the king of Israel sent to the place which Elisaie mentioned to him, and saved himself thence not once or twice.
11 Sa te boulvèse wa peyi Siri a anpil. Li rele chèf li yo, li di yo: —Manyè di m' kilès nan nou la a ki pou wa peyi Izrayèl la?
And the mind of the king of Syria was very much disturbed concerning this thing; and he called his servants, and said to them, Will you not tell me who betrays me to the king of Israel?
12 Yonn nan chèf yo reponn: —Pesonn, monwa. Men se Elize, pwofèt ki nan peyi Izrayèl la, k'ap fè wa peyi Izrayèl la konnen tou sa ou di, ata sa ou di anndan chanm ou.
And one of his servants said, Nay, my Lord, O king, for Elisaie the prophet that is in Israel reports to the king of Israel all the words whatever you may say in your bedchamber.
13 Wa peyi Siri a di: —Chache konnen kote Elize sa a ye pou m' voye pran l': Yo vin di li Elize te lavil Dotan.
And he said, Go, see where this man [is], and I will send and take him. And they sent word to him, saying, Behold, [he is] in Dothaim.
14 Li voye yon gwo lame ak anpil chwal ak cha lagè dèyè l'. Yo rive Dotan solèy kouche, yo sènen lavil la.
And he sent there horses, and chariots, and a mighty host: and they came by night, and compassed about the city.
15 Nan denmen maten, domestik pwofèt la leve byen bonè, li soti. Li wè te gen yon gwo lame ki te sènen tout lavil la ak anpil chwal ak anpil cha lagè. Lamenm, l' al di Elize: —Mèt, mèt, malè sou nou! Kisa nou pral fè la a?
And the servant of Elisaie rose up early and went out; and, behold, a host compassed the city, and horses and chariots: and the servant said to him, O master, what shall we do?
16 Elize reponn li: —Ou pa bezwen pè! Nou gen plis moun avèk nou pase yo.
And Elisaie said, Fear not, for they who are with us [are] more than they that are with them.
17 Lèfini, Elize lapriyè Seyè a, li di: —Seyè, tanpri louvri je l' pou l' wè! Seyè a louvri je domestik la. Domestik la wè tout mòn lan te kouvri ak flanm dife an fòm kavalye ak cha lagè bò kote Elize.
And Elisaie prayed, and said, Lord, open, I pray you, the eyes of the servant, and let him see. And the Lord opened his eyes, and he saw: and, behold, the mountain [was] full of horses, and there were chariots of fire round about Elisaie.
18 Lè sòlda peyi Siri yo atake, Elize lapriyè ankò, li di: —Seyè, fè sòlda sa yo pa wè nan je yo! Seyè a fè sòlda peyi Siri yo pa wè nan je yo, jan Elize te mande l' la.
And they came down to him; and he prayed to the Lord, and said, Strike, I pray you, this people with blindness. And he struck them with blindness, according to the word of Elisaie.
19 Lèfini, Elize al jwenn yo, li di yo: —Se pa chemen an sa, ni se pa lavil n'ap chache a sa. Swiv mwen, m'a mennen nou kote moun n'ap chache a ye. Li mennen yo lavil Samari.
And Elisaie said to them, This [is] not the city, and this [is] not the way: follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom you seek. And he led them away to Samaria.
20 Rive yo rive la, Elize lapriyè ankò, li di: —Seyè, louvri je yo pou yo wè! Seyè a louvri je yo. Yo wè yo te nan mitan lavil Samari.
And it came to pass when they entered into Samaria, that Elisaie said, Open, I pray you, O Lord, their eyes, and let them see. And the Lord opened their eyes, and they saw; and, behold, they were in the midst of Samaria.
21 Lè wa peyi Izrayèl la wè sòlda peyi Siri yo, li mande Elize: —Touye yo, papa mwen? Touye yo?
And the king of Israel said to Elisaie, when he saw them, Shall I [not] verily strike them, [my] father?
22 Elize reponn li: —Non. Pa touye yo. Ou janm touye moun ou fè prizonye lè w'ap goumen ak nepe epi ak banza? Ba yo manje, ba yo bwè, Lèfini, kite yo tounen al jwenn mèt yo!
And he said, You shall not strike them, unless you would strike those whom you have taken captive with your sword and with your bow: set bread and water before them, and let them eat and drink, and depart to their master.
23 Se konsa, wa a fè yon gwo resepsyon pou yo. Yo manje, yo bwè. Lèfini, wa a voye yo ale jwenn mèt yo. Depi lè sa a, sòlda peyi Siri yo sispann anvayi peyi Izrayèl la.
And he set before them a great feast, and they ate and drank: and he dismissed them and they departed to their master. And the bands of Syria came no longer into the land of Israel.
24 Kèk tan apre sa, Bennadad, wa peyi Siri a, sanble tout lame li, li moute vin atake peyi Izrayèl. Li sènen lavil Samari.
And it came to pass after this, that the son of Ader king of Syria gathered all his army, and went up, and besieged Samaria.
25 Se konsa, yon sèl grangou t'ap bat moun nan lavil la. Lènmi pa t' bay ankenn chans pou moun antre soti. Lè sa a yon tèt bourik te koute katreven pyès ajan, yon demi liv kaka pijon te koute senk pyès ajan.
And there was a great famine in Samaria: and, behold, they besieged it, until an ass's head was [valued] at fifty pieces of silver, and the fourth part of a cab of dove's dung at five pieces of silver.
26 Yon jou, wa peyi Izrayèl la t'ap pase sou miray lavil la, yon madanm pran rele: —Monwa, monwa, fè kichòy pou mwen non!
And the king of Israel was passing by on the wall, and a woman cried to him, saying, Help, my lord, O king.
27 Wa a reponn: —Si Seyè a pa ka fè anyen pou ou, kisa mwen menm, mwen ka fè pou ou. Kisa ou vle m' ba ou: farin osinon diven?
And he said to her, Unless the Lord help you, whence shall I help you? from the corn-floor, or from the wine-press?
28 Sa ou genyen? Madanm lan reponn: —Lòt jou, madanm sa ou wè la a vin di m' pou mwen bay pitit pa m' lan pou nou manje jou sa a, nan denmen n'a manje pitit pa l' la.
And the king said to her, What is [the matter] with you? And the woman said to him, This [woman] said to me, Give your son, and we will eat him today, and we will eat my son to-morrow.
29 Se konsa nou kwit pitit pa m' lan, nou manje l'. Nan denmen, mwen di l' pou li bay pitit pa l' la pou nou manje, men li sere l'.
So we boiled my son, and ate him; and I said to her on the second day, Give your son, and let us eat him: and she has hidden her son.
30 Lè wa a tande sa madanm lan di l' la, li chire rad sou li sitèlman li te fache. Moun ki te toupre miray la te ka wè wa a te gen yon rad sak anba rad li.
And it came to pass, when the king of Israel heard the words of the woman, [that] he tore his garments; and he passed by on the wall, and the people saw sackcloth within upon his flesh.
31 Wa a pale byen fò, li di: —Se pou Bondye ban m' pi gwo chatiman ki genyen si anvan jounen an fini, yo pa koupe tèt Elize, pitit Safa a!
And he said, God do so to me and more also, if the head of Elisaie shall stand upon him this day.
32 Wa a voye yon mesaje al chache Elize. Lè sa a, Elize te chita lakay li ak kèk chèf fanmi ki t'ap vizite l'. Men, anvan mesaje wa a gen tan rive, Elize di chèf fanmi yo: —Gade, Ansasen an voye yon moun pou touye m'. Men sa n'ap fè. Lè mesaje wa a va rive, fèmen pòt la sou li. Pa kite l' antre. Wa a pye pou pye dèyè l'.
And Elisaie was sitting in his house, and the elders were sitting with him; and [the king] sent a man before him: before the messenger came to him, he also said to the elders, Do you see that this son of a murderer has sent to take away my head? See, as soon as the messenger shall have come, shut the door, and forcibly detain him at the door: [is] not the sound of his master's feet behind him?
33 Elize pankò fèmen bouch li, lè wa a rive devan l'. Wa a di l' konsa: —Se Seyè a ki voye malè sa a sou nou! Sa m' bezwen rete ap tann li fè kichòy pou nou ankò?
While he was yet speaking with them, behold, a messenger came to him: and he said, Behold, this evil [is] of the Lord; why should I wait for the Lord any longer?
