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 children of the Prophets saide vnto Elisha, Behold, we pray thee, the place where we dwell with thee, is too litle for vs.
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 vs nowe goe to Iorden, that we may take thence euery man a beame, and make vs a place to dwell in. And he answered, Goe.
3 Yonn nan pwofèt yo mande l': —Tanpri, mèt, ann al avè nou non! Li di: —Dakò.
And one said, Vouchsafe, I pray thee, to go with thy seruants, and he answered, I will goe.
4 Li pati ak yo. Lè yo rive bò larivyè Jouden an, yo tanmen koupe bwa.
So he went with them, and when they came to Iorden, they cut downe 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 as one was felling of a tree, the yron fell into the water: then he cryed, and said, Alas master, it was but borowed.
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 saide, Where fell it? And he shewed him the place. Then he cut downe a piece of wood, and cast in thither, and he caused the yron to swimme.
7 Elize di l': —Wete l' nan dlo a. Pwofèt la lonje men l', li pran rach la.
Then he saide, Take it vp to thee. And he stretched out his hand, and tooke 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.
Then the King of Aram warred against Israel, and tooke counsell with his seruants, and said, In such and such a place shalbe my campe.
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.
Therefore the man of God sent vnto the King of Israel, saying, Beware thou goe not ouer to such a place: for there the Aramites are come downe.
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.
So the King of Israel sent to the place which the man of God tolde him, and warned him of, and saued himselfe from thence, not once, nor twise.
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 heart of the King of Aram was troubled for this thing: therefore he called his seruants and saide vnto them, Will ye not shewe me, which of vs bewrayeth our counsel 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.
Then one of his seruants saide, None, my lorde, O King, but Elisha the Prophet that is in Israel, telleth the King of Israel, euen the wordes that thou speakest in thy priuie chamber.
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, Goe, and espie where he is, that I may sende and fetch him. And one tolde him, saying, Beholde, he is in Dothan.
14 Li voye yon gwo lame ak anpil chwal ak cha lagè dèyè l'. Yo rive Dotan solèy kouche, yo sènen lavil la.
So he sent thither horses, and charets, and a mightie hoste: and they came by night, and compassed the citie.
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 when the seruant of the man of God arose earely to goe out, beholde, an hoste compassed the citie with horses and charets. Then his seruant sayde vnto him, Alas master, howe shall we doe?
16 Elize reponn li: —Ou pa bezwen pè! Nou gen plis moun avèk nou pase yo.
And he answered, Feare not: for they that be with vs, are moe then they that be 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.
Then Elisha prayed, and saide, Lord, I beseech thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the Lord opened the eyes of the seruant, and he looked, and beholde, the mountaine was full of horses and charets of fyre round about Elisha.
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.
So they came downe to him, but Elisha prayed vnto the Lord, and said, Smite this people, I pray thee, with blindnesse. And he smote them with blindnes, according to the worde of Elisha.
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 Elisha said vnto them, This is not the way, neither is this the citie: follow me, and I will leade you to the man whome ye seeke. But he ledde them 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 when they were come to Samaria, Elisha saide, Lord, open their eyes that they may see. And the Lord opened their eyes, and they saw, and beholde, they were in the mids 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 sayde vnto Elisha when he sawe them, My father, shall I smite them, shall I smite them?
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 answered, Thou shalt not smite them: doest thou not smite them that thou hast taken with thy sworde, and with thy bowe? but set bread and water before them, that they may eate and drinke and goe 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 made great preparation for them: and when they had eaten and drunken, he sent them away: and they went to their master. So ye bands of Aram came no more 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.
But afterward Ben-hadad King of Aram gathered all his hoste, and went vp, 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.
So there was a great famine in Samaria: for loe, they besieged it vntill an asses head was at foure score pieces of siluer, and the fourth part of a kab of doues doung at fiue pieces of siluer.
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 as the King of Israel was going vpon the wall, there cryed a woman vnto him, saying, Helpe, 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, Seeing the Lord doeth not succour thee, howe shoulde I helpe thee with the barne, or with the wine presse?
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.
Also the King said vnto her, What ayleth thee? And she answered, This woman sayde vnto me, Giue thy sonne, that we may eate him to day, and we will eate my sonne to morowe,
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 sod my sonne, and did eate him: and I saide to her the day after, Giue thy sonne, that we may eate him, but she hath hid her sonne.
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 when the King had heard the wordes of the woman, he rent his clothes, (and as he went vpon the wall, the people looked, and behold, he had sackecloth within vpon 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 saide, God doe so to me and more also, if the head of Elisha the sonne of Shaphat shall stande on 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'.
(Nowe Elisha sate in his house, and the Elders sate with him.) And the King sent a man before him: but before the messenger came to him, he saide to the Elders, See ye not howe this murtherers sonne hath sent to take away mine head? take heede when the messenger commeth, and shut the doore and handle him roughly at the doore: is not the sounde of his masters feete behinde 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 yet talked with them, beholde, the messenger came downe vnto him, and saide, Behold, this euill commeth of the Lord: should I attende on the Lord any longer?
