2 Wa 7

1 Elize reponn li: —Koute sa Seyè a voye di ou: Denmen, vè lè sa a, nan pòtay lavil Samari a, moun pral achte dis liv bon farin frans osinon ven liv lòj pou yon grenn pyès ajan.

And Elisaie said, Hear thou the word of the Lord; Thus saith the Lord, As at this time, to-morrow a measure of fine flour [shall be sold] for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, in the gates of Samaria.

2 Gadkò wa a reponn pwofèt la, li di l': —Seyè a ta mèt louvri syèl la pou voye bagay sa yo, sa ou di a pa ka fèt. Elize di li: —Ou wè ou menm, w'ap wè sa rive ak pwòp je ou, men ou p'ap gen chans manje ladan l'!

And the officer on whose hand the king rested, answered Elisaie, and said, Behold, [if] the Lord shall make flood-gates in heaven, might this thing be? and Elisaie said, Behold, thou shalt see with thine eyes, but shalt not eat thereof.

3 Bò pòtay lavil Samari a, te gen kat gason ki te gen move maladi po. Yonn di lòt konsa: —Poukisa pou n' rete isit la ap tann lanmò?

And there were four leprous men by the gate of the city: and one said to his neighbour, Why sit we here until we die?

4 Si nou di n'ap antre lavil la, avèk grangou ki gen la a, n'ap mouri. Si nou di n'ap rete isit la, n'ap mouri tou. Pito n' al pran yon chans nan kan lame Siri a. Si yo fè pa nou, n'a viv. Men, si yo touye nou, n'a tou mouri mouri nou.

If we should say, Let us go into the city, then [there is] famine in the city, and we shall die there: and if we sit here, then we shall die. Now then come, and let us fall upon the camp of the Syrians: if they should take us alive, then we shall live; and if they should put us to death, then we shall [only] die.

5 Se konsa, solèy te fèk kouche lè mesye yo leve, yo pati pou kan lame Siri a. Lè yo rive toupre kan an, yo pa wè pesonn.

And they rose up while it was yet night, to go into the camp of Syria; and they came into a part of the camp of Syria, and behold, there [was] no man there.

6 Seyè a te fè sòlda lame Siri yo tande yon bann bri, ou ta di yon pakèt cha lagè, kavalye sou chwal ak yon gwo lame k'ap mache vini sou yo. Tout sòlda peyi Siri yo te konprann se wa peyi Izrayèl la ki te pran kontak ak wa peyi Et la ansanm ak wa peyi Lejip la pou vin atake yo.

For the Lord had made the army of Syria to hear a sound of chariots, and a sound of horses, [even] the sound of a great host: and [each] man said to his fellow, Now has the king of Israel hired against us the kings of the Chettites, and the kings of Egypt, to come against us.

7 Se konsa, solèy te fèk kouche jou sa a lè yo leve yo kouri met deyò. Yo kite tant yo, chwal yo, bourik yo. Yo chape kò yo kite kan an jan l' te ye a.

And they arose and fled while it was yet dark, and left their tents, and their horses, and their asses in the camp, as they were, and fled for their lives.

8 Lè kat mesye yo rive nan kan an, yo antre nan yon premye tant, yo manje, yo bwè. Yo pase men yo pran lò, ajan, rad yo jwenn, yo soti al sere yo. Lèfini, yo tounen, yo antre nan yon dezyèm tant, yo fè menm bagay la.

And these lepers entered a little way into the camp, and went into one tent, and ate and drank, and took thence silver, and gold, and raiment; and they went and returned thence, and entered into another tent, and took thence, and went and hid [the spoil].

9 Men lè sa a, yonn di lòt konsa: —Sa n'ap fè a pa bon non! Nou gen bon nouvèl konsa, nou pa ka kenbe l' pou nou ase. Si nou tann denmen maten pou n' al di moun yo sa, ou mèt sèten y'ap ban nou tò. Pito n' ale koulye a. Ann al bay nouvèl la kay wa a!

And [one] man said to his neighbour, We are not doing [well] thus: this day is a day of glad tidings, and we hold our peace, and are waiting till the morning light, and shall find mischief: now them come, and let us go into [the city], and report to the house of the king.

10 Se konsa, yo tounen lavil Samari, yo rele gad ki t'ap fè pòs nan pòtay lavil la. Yo ba yo nouvèl la, yo di yo: —Nou t al nan kan moun Siri yo. Nou pa jwenn pesonn, nou pa tande pesonn ap pale. Chwal ak bourik sèlman nou jwenn mare nan kòd. Ata tant yo te la jan yo te moute yo.

So they went and cried toward the gate of the city, and reported to them, saying, We went into the camp of Syria, and, behold, there is not there a man, nor voice of man, only horses tied and asses, and their tents as they were.

11 Faksyonnè ki t'ap fè pòs nan pòtay lavil la bay nouvèl la byen fò. Konsa, nouvèl la gaye jouk li rive anndan palè a.

And the porters cried aloud, and reported to the house of the king within.

12 Se te nan mitan lannwit. Wa a leve sot nan kabann li, li di chèf li yo: —Mwen pral esplike nou sa sòlda peyi Siri yo gen dèyè tèt yo kifè yo fè sa. Yo konnen jan grangou ap bat nou isit la. Yo soti kite kan an, y' al kache nan plenn lan. Yo konprann nou pral soti kite lavil la pou n' al dèyè manje. Lè sa a, y'a tonbe sou nou, y'a pran nou tou vivan, y'a antre nan lavil la.

And the king rose up by night, and said to his servants, I will now tell you what the Syrians have done to us. They knew that we are hungry; and they have gone forth from the camp and hidden themselves in the field, saying, They will come out of the city, and we shall catch them alive, and go into the city.

13 Men, yonn nan chèf li yo di l' konsa: —Poukisa nou pa voye kèk moun ak senk chwal ki rete yo pou y' al wè sa ki pase. Kit yo tounen vivan, kit yo mouri, yo p'ap pi mal ni pi byen pase rès moun Izrayèl yo ki rete isit la. Wè pa wè, y' ap pase tankou sa ki mouri deja yo.

And one of his servants answered and said, Let them now take five of the horses that were left, which were left here; behold, they are the number left to all the multitude of Israel; and we will send thither and see.

14 Se konsa yo chwazi kèk moun, wa a voye yo ak de cha lagè pou y' al wè sa ki rive nan kan lame peyi Siri a.

So they took two horsemen; and the king of Israel sent after the king of Syria, saying, Go, and see.

15 Mesye yo pati, yo rive jouk bò larivyè Jouden an. Sou tout wout la, yo wè rad ak yon bann lòt bagay sòlda peyi Siri yo te jete lè yo t'ap kouri met deyò a. Yo tounen, yo fè rapò yo bay wa a.

And they went after them even to Jordan: and, behold, all the way was full of garments and vessels, which the Syrians had cast away in their panic. and the messengers returned, and brought word to the king.

16 Menm lè a, pèp la kouri soti al piye kan lame peyi Siri yo. Jan Seyè a te di l' la, yo vann dis liv bon farin frans pou yon pyès ajan, ven liv lòj pou menm pri a.

And the people went out, and plundered the camp of Syria: and a measure of fine flour was sold for a shekel, according to the word of the Lord, and two measures of barley for a shekel.

17 Men, wa a te mete chèf gadkò li a ap veye pòtay lavil la. Se konsa pèp la pilonnen l' anba pye yo lè y'ap pase nan pòtay lavil la. Li mouri jan Elize te di l' sa lè wa a te vin wè l' la.

And the king appointed the officer on whose hand the king leaned [to have charge] over the gate: and the people trampled on him in the gate, and he died, as the man of God [had] said, who spoke when the messenger came down to him.

18 Lè sa a, Elize t'ap pale ak wa a li te di l' konsa: Denmen lè konsa, nan pòtay lavil Samari y'ap vann dis liv bon farin frans pou yon pyès ajan ak ven liv lòj pou menm pri a.

So it came to pass as Elisaie had spoken to the king, saying, Two measures of barley [shall be sold] for a shekel, and a measure of fine flour for a shekel; and it shall be as at this time to-morrow in the gate of Samaria.

19 Se konsa chèf gadkò a te di Seyè a te mèt louvri syèl la pou voye bagay sa yo, sa Elize di a pa ka fèt. Elize menm te reponn li, li te di l': Ou wè ou menm, w'ap wè sa rive ak pwòp je ou, men ou p'ap gen chans manje ladan l'.

And the officer answered Elisaie, and said, Behold, [if] the Lord makes flood-gates in heaven, shall this thing be? and Elisaie said, Behold, thou shalt see [it] with thine eyes, but thou shalt not eat thereof.

20 Se sa menm ki rive l'. Li mouri pilonnen anba pye pèp la lè y'ap pase nan pòtay lavil la.

And it was so: for the people trampled on him in the gate, and he died.
