2 Wa 4

1 Alò, yon sèten fanm pami madanm fis a pwofèt yo te kriye kont Élisée: “Sèvitè ou a, mari mwen an mouri e ou konnen ke sèvitè ou te gen lakrent SENYÈ a. Konsa, mesye ki vèse prè kòb la, gen tan parèt pou pran de pitit mwen yo kòm esklav li.”

Now a certain woman, the wife of one of the sons of the prophets, came crying to Elisha and said, Your servant my husband is dead; and to your knowledge he was a worshipper of the Lord; but now, the creditor has come to take my two children as servants in payment of his debt.

2 Élisée te di li: “Kisa pou m ta fè pou ou? Di mwen kisa ou gen nan kay la?” Epi li te di: “Sèvant ou pa gen anyen nan kay la sof ke yon bokal lwil.”

Then Elisha said to her, What am I to do for you? say now, what have you in the house? And she said, Your servant has nothing in the house but a pot of oil.

3 Alò, li te di: “Ale, prete veso vid toupatou pou kont ou nan men tout vwazen ou yo. Pa manke pran anpil.

Then he said, Go out to all your neighbours and get vessels, a very great number of them.

4 Ou va antre anndan, fèmen pòt la dèyè ou avèk fis ou yo, vide nan tout veso sa yo, e sa ki plen yo, mete yo akote.”

Then go in, and, shutting the door on yourself and your sons, put oil into all these vessels, putting on one side the full ones.

5 Konsa, li te ale kite li e te fèmen pòt la dèyè li avèk fis li yo. Yo t ap mennen veso kote li pou l te plen.

So she went away, and when the door was shut on her and her sons, they took the vessels to her and she put oil into them.

6 Lè tout veso yo te plen li te di a fis li yo: “Mennen ban mwen yon lòt veso.” Epi li reponn li: “Nanpwen menm yon veso ankò.” Konsa, lwil la te sispann.

And when all the vessels were full, she said to her son, Get me another vessel. And he said, There are no more. And the flow of oil was stopped.

7 Alò, li te vin pale nonm Bondye a. Li te di l: “Ale vann lwil la pou peye dèt ou. Epi ou menm avèk fis ou yo kab viv sou sa ki rete a.”

So she came to the man of God and gave him word of what she had done. And he said, Go and get money for the oil and make payment of your debt, and let the rest be for the needs of yourself and your sons.

8 Alò, te vin rive yon jou lè Élisée te pase bò kote Sunem, kote te gen yon fanm enpòtan. Konsa, fanm nan te konvenk li manje pen. Se konsa li te vin rive, ke nenpòt lè li te pase, li te vire antre la pou manje pen.

Now there came a day when Elisha went to Shunem, and there was a woman of high position living there, who made him come in and have a meal with her. And after that, every time he went by, he went into her house for a meal.

9 Fanm nan te di a mari li: “Gade byen, mwen apèsi ke sa se yon nonm sen a Bondye k ap pase bò kote nou tout tan.

And she said to her husband, Now I see that this is a holy man of God, who comes by day after day.

10 Souple, annou fè yon ti chanm sou twati kay la. Annou mete yon kabann pou li la, avèk yon tab ak chèz avèk yon chandelye. Konsa li va ye ke lè li vini kote nou, li kapab vire antre la.”

So let us make a little room on the wall; and put a bed there for him, and a table and a seat and a light; so that when he comes to us, he will be able to go in there.

11 Yon jou, li te vini la e te vire antre nan chanm anwo a pou te repoze.

Now one day, when he had gone there, he went into the little room and took his rest there.

12 Konsa li te di a Guéhazi, sèvitè li a: “Rele fanm Sinamit lan.” Epi lè li te fin rele li, li te parèt kanpe devan l.

And he said to Gehazi, his servant, Send for this Shunammite. So in answer to his voice she came before him.

13 Li te di Guéhazi: “Koulye a di li: ‘Gade, ou te byen pran swen nou avèk tout swen sila a. Se kisa nou kapab fè pou ou? Èske ou ta renmen m pale ak wa a pou ou, oswa kapitèn lame a?’” Li te reponn: “Mwen rete pami pwòp pèp pa m.”

And he said to him, Now say to her, See, you have taken all this trouble for us; what is to be done for you? will you have any request made for you to the king or the captain of the army? But she said, I am living among my people.

14 Konsa, li te mande: “Alò, se kisa ki kab fèt pou li?” Epi Guéhazi te reponn: “Anverite, li pa gen fis, e mari li fin granmoun.”

So he said, What then is to be done for her? And Gehazi made answer, Still there is this, she has no son and her husband is old.

15 Li te di: “Rele li.” Lè li te rele li, li te kanpe nan pòtay la.

Then he said, Send for her. And in answer to his voice she took her place at the door.

16 Epi li te di: “Nan sezon sila nan ane k ap vini an, ou va anbrase yon fis.” Epi li te reponn: “Non, mèt mwen, O nonm Bondye a, pa bay manti a sèvant ou.”

And Elisha said, At this time in the coming year you will have a son in your arms. And she said, No, my lord, O man of God, do not say what is false to your servant.

17 Konsa, Fanm nan te vin ansent e te fè yon fis nan menm sezon sa a nan ane ki vini an, jan Élisée te pale li a.

Then the woman became with child and gave birth to a son at the time named, in the year after, as Elisha had said to her.

18 Lè pitit la te fin grandi, jou a te rive pou li te ale kote papa li avèk moun rekòlt yo.

Now one day, when the child was older, he went out to his father to where the grain was being cut.

19 Li te di a papa li: “Tèt mwen, tèt mwen.” Epi papa l te pale sèvitè li: “Pote li bay manman li.”

And he said to his father, My head, my head! And the father said to a servant, Take him in to his mother.

20 Lè li te pran li pou te mennen li bay manman l, li te chita sou jenou li jis rive midi e li te mouri.

And he took him in to his mother, and she took him on her knees and kept him there till the middle of the day, when his life went from him.

21 Li te monte anlè a, li te kouche li sou kabann nonm Bondye a, li te fèmen pòt la dèyè l e li te sòti.

Then she went up and put him on the bed of the man of God, shutting the door on him, and went out.

22 Konsa, li te rele mari li, e li te di l: “Souple, voye ban m youn nan bourik yo pou m ka al jwenn nonm Bondye a epi tounen.”

And she said to her husband, Send me one of the servants and one of the asses so that I may go quickly to the man of God and come back again.

23 Li te di, “Poukisa ou w ap al kote l jodi a? Lalin pa nèf, ni li pa Saba a.” Li te reponn: “L ap bon.”

And he said, Why are you going to him today? it is not a new moon or a Sabbath. But she said, It is well.

24 Alò, li te sele yon bourik e te di a sèvitè li: “Kondwi pou avanse! Pa ralanti vitès sof ke se mwen ki di ou sa.”

Then she made the ass ready and said to her servant, Keep driving on; do not make a stop without orders from me.

25 Konsa li te ale e te vin kote nonm Bondye a sou Mòn Carmel. Lè nonm Bondye a te wè li a yon distans li te di a Guéhazi, sèvitè li a: “Men vwala se Sinamit lan.

So she went, and came to Mount Carmel, to the man of God. And when the man of God saw her coming in his direction, he said to Gehazi, his servant, See, there is the Shunammite;

26 Souple, kouri koulye a rankontre li, epi mande li: ‘Èske tout bagay byen pou ou? Èske sa byen pou mari ou? Èske sa byen pou fis ou a?’” Konsa, li te reponn: “L ap bon”.

Go quickly to her, and on meeting her say to her, Are you well? and your husband and the child, are they well? And she said in answer, All is well.

27 Lè l te rive kote nonm Bondye a sou ti mòn nan, li te kenbe de pye li. Guéhazi te parèt pou pouse l fè l sòti; men nonm Bondye a te di: “Kite li, paske nanm li twouble anndan l. SENYÈ a te kache sa de mwen sa, e pa t di m sa.”

And when she came to where the man of God was on the hill, she put her hands round his feet; and Gehazi came near with the purpose of pushing her away; but the man of God said, Let her be, for her soul is bitter in her; and the Lord has kept it secret from me, and has not given me word of it.

28 Fanm nan te di: “Èske mwen te mande mèt mwen pou yon fis? Èske mwen pa t di ou: ‘Pa twonpe m’?”

Then she said, Did I make a request to my lord for a son? did I not say, Do not give me false words?

29 Alò, li te di a Guéhazi: “Mare senti ou, pran baton mwen nan men ou pou al fè wout ou. Si ou rankontre nenpòt moun, pa salye li, e si nenpòt moun salye ou, pa reponn li. Al mete baton mwen an kouche sou figi gason an.”

Then he said to Gehazi, Make yourself ready, and take my stick in your hand, and go: if you come across anyone on the way, give him no blessing, and if anyone gives you a blessing, give him no answer. And put my stick on the child's face.

30 Manman a gason an te di: “Jan SENYÈ a viv la, e jan ou menm viv la, mwen p ap kite ou.” Konsa, li te leve e te swiv li.

But the mother of the child said, As the Lord is living and as your soul is living, I will not go back without you. So he got up and went with her.

31 Guéhazi te pase devan yo e te kouche baton an sou figi a gason an, men li pa t fè bwi, ni li pa t reponn. Konsa, li te retounen rankontre Élisée e te di li: “Gason an pa t leve.”

And Gehazi went on before them and put the stick on the child's face; but there was no voice, and no one gave attention. So he went back, and meeting him gave him the news, saying, The child is not awake.

32 Lè Élisée te vini nan kay la, men vwala, gason an te kouche tou mouri sou kabann li an.

And when Elisha came into the house he saw the child dead, stretched on his bed.

33 Pou sa, li te antre fèmen pòt la dèyè yo toude a, e te priye a SENYÈ a.

So he went in, and shutting the door on the two of them, made prayer to the Lord.

34 Konsa, li te pwoche kouche sou pitit la, li te mete bouch li sou bouch pa li, zye li sou zye pa li, men li sou men pa li. Li te lonje kò li sou li, e chè pitit la te kòmanse vin cho.

Then he got up on the bed, stretching himself out on the child, and put his mouth on the child's mouth, his eyes on his eyes and his hands on his hands; and the child's body became warm.

35 Li te retounen nan kay la e te mache yon fwa ale retou, epi li te monte lonje li menm sou li. Gason an te touse sèt fwa e gason an te ouvri zye li.

Then he came back, and after walking once through the house and back, he went up, stretching himself out on the child seven times; and the child's eyes became open.

36 Li te rele Guéhazi e te di: “Rele Sinamit lan.” Konsa, li te rele li. Lè li te antre kote li, li te di: “Ranmase pran pitit ou a.”

And he gave orders to Gehazi, and said, Send for the Shunammite. And she came in answer to his voice. And he said, Take up your son.

37 Alò, fanm nan te antre anndan; li te tonbe nan pye li e li te bese li menm jis atè. Epi li te pran fis li, e te sòti.

And she came in, and went down on her face to the earth at his feet; then she took her son in her arms and went out.

38 Lè Élisée te retounen Guilgal, te gen yon gwo grangou nan peyi a. Pandan fis a pwofèt yo te chita devan l, li te di a sèvitè li a: “Mete gwo bonm nan e fè yon bouyon pou fis a pwofèt yo.”

And Elisha went back to Gilgal, now there was very little food in the land; and the sons of the prophets were seated before him. And he said to his servant, Put the great pot on the fire, and make soup for the sons of the prophets.

39 Epi youn te ale nan chan an pou ranmase epis yo e yo te twouve yon lyann sovaj. Li te ranmase sou li kont joumou pou plen vètman li. Li te vin koupe yo, pou fè yo antre nan bouyon, paske yo pa t rekonèt yo.

And one went out into the field to get green plants and saw a vine of the field, and pulling off the fruit of it till the fold of his robe was full, he came back and put the fruit, cut up small, into the pot of soup, having no idea what it was.

40 Konsa, yo te vide li pou mesye yo manje. Epi pandan yo t ap bwè bouyon an, yo te kriye fò. Yo te di: “O nonm Bondye, gen lanmò nan po a.” Epi yo pa t kab manje.

Then they gave the men soup from the pot. And while they were drinking the soup, they gave a cry, and said, O man of God, there is death in the pot; and they were not able to take any more food.

41 Men li te di: “Alò, pote sereyal moulen an.” Li te jete li nan bonm nan e te di: “Vide li pou pèp la pou yo kab manje.” Epi pa t gen okenn mal nan po a.

But he said, Get some meal. And he put it into the pot, and said, Now give it to the people so that they may have food. And there was nothing bad in the pot.

42 Alò, yon mesye te sòti Baal-Shalisha, e li te pote pou nonm Bondye a, pen premye fwi yo, ven pen lòj avèk tèt sereyal nèf nan sak li. Epi li te di: “Bay pèp la pou yo kab manje.”

Now a man came from Baal-shalishah with an offering of first-fruits for the man of God, twenty barley cakes and garden fruit in his bag. And he said, Give these to the people for food.

43 Asistan li an te di: “Kisa, èske mwen va mete sa a devan san moun?” Men li te di: “Bay pèp la pou yo kab manje, paske se konsa SENYÈ a pale: ‘Yo va manje e va genyen ki rete.’”

But his servant said, How am I to put this before a hundred men? But he said, Give it to the people for food; for the Lord says, There will be food for them and some over.

44 Konsa, li te mete li devan yo, yo te manje e te genyen ki te rete, selon pawòl SENYÈ a.

So he put it before them, and they had a meal and there was more than enough, as the Lord had said.
