2 Wa 8

1 Elize te pale ak madanm ki te manman ti gason li te fè tounen vivan sot nan lanmò a, li te di l' pou li pati ansanm ak tout fanmi l' al viv nan yon lòt peyi paske Seyè a te fè konnen talè konsa yon gwo grangou tapral tonbe sou tout peyi a pou sètan.

Now, Elisha, had spoken unto the woman whose son he had restored to life, saying—Arise, and take thy journey, thou and thy household, and sojourn wheresoever thou canst sojourn, for Yahweh hath called for a famine, moreover also, it is coming upon the land seven years.

2 Fanm lan leve, li fè sa pwofèt la te ba li konsèy fè a. Li pati ansanm ak tout fanmi l' al rete nan peyi Filisti a pandan sètan.

So the woman arose, and did according to the word of the man of God, —and took her journey, she and her household, and she sojourned in the land of the Philistines, seven years.

3 Lè sètan yo fin pase, li tounen nan peyi Izrayèl, l' al jwenn wa a, li mande l' pou yo renmèt li kay li ak jaden li.

And it came to pass, at the end of seven years, that the woman returned out of the land of the Philistines, —and she went forth to make outcry unto the king, concerning her house and concerning her field.

4 Li jwenn wa a t'ap pale ak Gerazi, domestik pwofèt Bondye a, paske wa a te mande l' pou l' te vin rakonte l' tout bèl bagay Elize te fè yo.

Now, the king, was speaking unto Gehazi, servant of the man of God, saying, Do recount unto me, I pray thee, all the great things that Elisha hath done.

5 Gerazi t'ap rakonte wa a kijan Elize te fè pitit gason yon fanm leve soti vivan nan lanmò lè madanm lan vin pale ak wa a pou kay li ak jaden l' yo. Gerazi di wa a: —Monwa, men madanm lan ansanm ak pitit gason Elize te fè leve soti vivan nan lanmò a.

And so it was, just as he was recounting to the king how he had restored the dead to life, lo! the woman whose son he had restored to life, began making outcry unto the king, for her house and for her field. Then said Gehazi, My lord, O king! this, is the woman, and, this, her son, whom, Elisha, restored to life.

6 Wa a mande madanm lan pou li rakonte l' jan sa te pase. Lè madanm lan fini, wa a bay yonn nan chèf li yo lòd renmèt madanm lan tou sa ki te pou li ansanm ak tou sa jaden yo te rapòte depi jou li te kite peyi a rive jouk jou li tounen an.

So the king asked the woman, and she recounted it to him, —the king, therefore, appointed her a certain officer, saying—Restore all that was hers, and all the increase of the field, from the day she left the land, even until now.

7 Apre sa, Elize ale lavil Damas. Bennadad, wa peyi Siri a, te malad. y' al di wa a pwofèt la te nan lavil la.

And Elisha came into Damascus, when Ben-hadad king of Syria, was sick, —and it was told him, saying, The man of God hath come as far as this place.

8 Wa a rele Azayèl, yonn nan chèf li yo, li di l' konsa: —Pote yon bagay fè pwofèt Bondye a kado. Lèfini, mande l' pou l' pale ak Seyè a pou konnen si m'ap leve anba maladi sa a.

So the king said unto Hazael—Take in thy hand a present, and go to meet the man of God, —so shalt thou enquire of Yahweh, from him, saying, Shall I recover from this sickness?

9 Se konsa Azayèl al wè Elize, li pran tout kalite bon bagay li jwenn lavil Damas, li chaje yo sou karant chamo pote bay Elize. Lè li rive devan Elize, li di l' konsa: —Pitit ou, Bennadad, wa peyi Siri a, voye m' vin mande ou si l'ap leve anba maladi l' la.

So Hazael went to meet him, and took a present in his hand, even every good thing of Damascus, forty camels’ burden, —and came, and stood before him, and said—Thy son, Ben-hadad king of Syria, hath sent me unto thee, saying, Shall I recover from this sickness?

10 Elize reponn: —Seyè a fè m' konnen l'ap mouri, men ou menm, al di l' l'ap refè.

And Elisha said unto him, Go, say to him, Thou shalt, recover; And yet Yahweh hath shown me, that he will, die.

11 Lè li fin di sa, Elize pran gade Azayèl nan je. Lè Azayèl wè sa, sa jennen l' anpil. Elize rete konsa, dlo pran kouri nan je l'.

And he settled his countenance, and fixed it until he turned pale, —and the man of God, wept.

12 Azayèl mande l': —Mèt, poukisa w'ap kriye a? Elize reponn: —Paske mwen gen tan konnen tou sa ou pral fè pèp Izrayèl la pase. Ou pral met dife nan gwo fò yo, ou pral touye jenn gason l' yo ak nepe, ou pral kraze pitit yo, ou pral louvri vant fanm ansent yo.

Then said Hazael, Why, is my lord, weeping? And he said—Because I know what thou wilt do to the sons of Israel, by way of harm—Their fortresses, thou wilt set on fire, and, their choice young men, with the sword, thou wilt slay, and, their children, thou wilt dash in pieces, and, their women with child, thou wilt rip up.

13 Azayèl mande l': —Kisa m' ye menm pou m' ta rive fè tou sa? Mwen pa pi bon pase yon chen. Elize reponn li: —Seyè a fè m' konnen se ou ki pral wa peyi Siri.

And Hazael said, But what is thy servant—the dog—that he should do this great thing? And Elisha said, Yahweh hath shown thee unto me, as king over Syria.

14 Azayèl kite Elize, li tounen al jwenn mèt li ki mande l': —Sa Elize di ou? Li reponn: —Li di m' li sèten w'ap refè.

So he departed from Elisha, and came in unto his lord, who said to him, What said, Elisha, unto thee? And he said. He told me thou wouldst, recover.

15 Men nan denmen, Azayèl pran yon dra, li plonje l' nan dlo, li mete l' sou figi wa a. Wa a toufe, li mouri. Azayèl moute wa sou fotèy Siri a nan plas Bennadad.

But it came to pass on the morrow, that he took the coverlet, and dipped it in water, and spread it over his face, that he died, —and, Hazael, reigned, in his stead.

16 Wa Joram, pitit gason Akab la, t'ap mache sou senkan depi li t'ap gouvènen peyi Izrayèl lè Joram, pitit gason Jozafa ki te wa peyi Jida a, moute wa nan plas papa l'.

Now, in the fifth year of Joram son of Ahab, king of Israel, Jehoshaphat, having been king of Judah, Jehoram, son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, began to reign.

17 Li te gen tranndezan lè li moute wa. Li gouvènen nan lavil Jerizalèm pandan witan.

Thirty-two years old, was he when he began to reign, and, eight years, reigned, he in Jerusalem.

18 Li te marye ak yon pitit fi Akab. Tankou lòt moun fanmi Akab yo, li mache pye pou pye dèyè wa peyi Izrayèl yo. Li fè sa ki mal nan je Seyè a.

And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, just as did the house of Ahab, for, a daughter of Ahab, became his wife, —and he did the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh.

19 Men, Seyè a pa t' vle detwi peyi Jida a, paske li te pwomèt David, sèvitè l' la, t'ap toujou gen yon moun nan ras li pou gouvènen peyi a devan Seyè a.

Yet was not Yahweh willing to destroy Judah, for the sake of David his servant, —even as he promised him to give him a lamp for his sons all the days.

20 Sou reny wa Joram, moun peyi Edon yo pran lezam kont moun peyi Jida yo. Yo pran libète granmoun yo. Yo nonmen yon wa pou gouvènen yo.

In his days, did Edom revolt from under the hand of Judah, —and they set over them a king.

21 Se konsa Joram soti ak tout cha lagè li yo, li mache sou lavil Zayi. Lame moun Edon yo sènen l'. Pandan lannwit, li menm ak chèf cha lagè li yo, yo leve yo atake moun Edon yo ki te sènen yo, yo pase soti nan mitan yo, yo chape. Tout sòlda yo gaye al lakay yo.

So Joram passed over to Zair, and all the chariots with him, —and it came to pass that, he, arising by night, smote the Edomites that were round about unto him, and the captains of the chariots, and the people fled to their homes,

22 Se depi lè sa a, peyi Edon an soti anba lòd peyi Jida, yo granmoun lakay yo. Se menm lè a tou moun lavil Libna yo pran libète granmoun yo tou.

Yet did Edom revolt from under the hand of Judah, unto this day, —then, revolted Libnah, at the same time.

23 N'a jwenn rès istwa Joram ak tou sa li te fè ekri nan liv Istwa wa peyi Jida yo.

Now, the rest of the story of Joram, and all that he did, are, they, not written in the book of the Chronicles of the Kings of Judah?

24 Lè Joram mouri, yo antere l' nan kavo zansèt li yo nan lavil David la. Apre sa, se Okozyas, pitit li a, ki moute wa nan plas li.

And Joram slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers, in the city of David, —and, Ahaziah his son, reigned, in his stead.

25 Wa Joram, pitit Akab la, t'ap mache sou douzan depi li t'ap gouvènen peyi Izrayèl lè Okozyas, pitit Joram, moute wa sou fotèy peyi Jida a.

In the twelfth year of Joram son of Ahab king of Israel, did Ahaziah son of Jehoram king of Judah, begin to reign.

26 Li te gen venndezan. Li gouvènen nan lavil Jerizalèm pandan ennan. Manman l' te rele Atali. Se te pitit fi Akab, pitit pitit fi Omri, tou de wa peyi Izrayèl.

Two and twenty years old, was Ahaziah when he began to reign, —and, one year, reigned he in Jerusalem, —and, his mother’s name, was Athaliah, daughter of Omri, king of Israel;

27 Okozyas mache pye pou pye dèyè moun fanmi Akab yo. Li te marye nan fanmi wa Akab. Li fè sa ki mal nan je Seyè a tankou yo.

And he walked in the way of the house of Ahab, and did the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, like the house of Ahab, —for, son-in-law of the house of Ahab, was, he.

28 Wa Okozyas mete tèt ansanm ak wa Joram, pitit Akab, pou y' al atake Azayèl, wa peyi Siri a. Lame yo kontre yonn ak lòt bò lavil Ramòt nan peyi Galarad. Sòlda peyi Siri yo blese Joram nan batay la.

And he went with Joram son of Ahab, to make war against Hazael king of Syria, in Ramoth-gilead, —and the Syrians wounded Joram.

29 Joram tounen lavil Jizreyèl pou l' te refè anba kou sòlda peyi Siri yo te ba li lavi Ramòt lè li t'ap goumen ak Azayèl, wa peyi Siri a. Okozyas, pitit Joram, wa peyi Jida a, desann lavil Jizreyèl al wè wa Joram, pitit Akab la, paske Joram te malad.

So Joram the king returned to get healed in Jezreel, from the wounds wherewith the Syrians had wounded him in Ramah, when he fought with Hazael king of Syria, —and, Ahaziah son of Jehoram king of Judah, went down to see Joram son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he, was sick.
