< 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 there cried a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets to Elisha, saying, Thy servant my husband is dead; and thou knowest that thy servant feared the LORD: and the creditor hath come to take to him my two sons to be bond-men.
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.”
And Elisha said to her, What shall I do for thee? tell me, what hast thou in the house? And she said, Thy handmaid hath not any thing in the house, save 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, borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbors, [even] empty vessels; borrow not a few.
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.”
And when thou hast come in, thou shalt shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons, and shalt pour out into all those vessels, and thou shalt set aside that which is full.
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 from him, and shut the door upon her and upon her sons, who brought [the vessels] to her; and she poured out.
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 it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said to her son, Bring me yet a vessel. And he said to her, [There is] not a vessel more. And the oil stayed.
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.”
Then she came and told the man of God. And he said, Go, sell the oil, and pay thy debt, and live thou and thy children on the remainder.
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.
And it fell on a day, that Elisha passed to Shunem, where [was] a distinguished woman; and she constrained him to eat bread. And [so] it was, [that] as oft as he passed by, he turned in thither to eat bread.
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, Behold now, I perceive that this [is] a holy man of God, who passeth by us continually.
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.”
Let us make a little chamber, I pray thee, on the wall; and let us set for him there a bed, and a table, and a stool, and a candlestick: and it shall be, when he cometh to us, that he shall turn in thither.
11 Yon jou, li te vini la e te vire antre nan chanm anwo a pou te repoze.
And it fell on a day, that he came thither, and he turned into the chamber, and lay 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, Call this Shunamite. And when he had called her, she stood 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, Say now to her, Behold, thou hast been careful for us with all this care; what [is] to be done for thee? wouldst thou be spoken for to the king, or to the captain of the host? And she answered, I dwell among my own 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.”
And he said, What then [is] to be done for her? And Gehazi answered, Verily she hath no child, and her husband is old.
15 Li te di: “Rele li.” Lè li te rele li, li te kanpe nan pòtay la.
And he said, Call her. And when he had called her, she stood in 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 he said, About this season, according to the time of life, thou shalt embrace a son. And she said, No, my lord, [thou] man of God, do not lie to thy handmaid.
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.
And the woman conceived, and bore a son at that season that Elisha had said to her, according to the time of life.
18 Lè pitit la te fin grandi, jou a te rive pou li te ale kote papa li avèk moun rekòlt yo.
And when the child was grown, it happened on a day, that he went out to his father to the reapers.
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 he said to a lad, Carry him 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 when he had taken him, and brought him to his mother, he sat on her knees till noon, and [then] died.
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.
And she went up, and laid him on the bed of the man of God, and shut [the door] upon 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 called to her husband, and said, Send me, I pray thee, one of the young men, and one of the asses, that I may run to the man of God, and come 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 wilt thou go to him to-day? [it is] neither new-moon, nor sabbath. And she said, [It shall be] 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 saddled an ass, and said to her servant, Drive, and go forward; slack not [thy] riding for me, except I bid thee.
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 the man of God to mount Carmel. And it came to pass, when the man of God saw her afar off, that he said to Gehazi his servant, Behold, [yonder is] that Shunamite:
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”.
Run now, I pray thee, to meet her, and say to her, [Is it] well with thee? [Is it] well with thy husband? [Is it] well with the child? and she answered, [It 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 the man of God to the hill, she caught him by the feet: but Gehazi came near to thrust her away. And the man of God said, Let her alone; for her soul [is] sorrowful within her: and the LORD hath hid [it] from me, and hath not told me?
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 ask a son from my lord? did I not say, Do not deceive me.
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, Gird up thy loins and take my staff in thy hand, and go thy way: and if thou shalt meet any man, salute him not; and if any shall salute thee, answer him not again: and lay my staff upon the face of the child.
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.
And the mother of the child said, [As] the LORD liveth, and [as] thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And he arose, and followed 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 passed on before them, and laid the staff upon the face of the child; but [there was] neither voice, nor hearing. Wherefore he went again to meet him, and told him, saying, The child is not awaked.
32 Lè Élisée te vini nan kay la, men vwala, gason an te kouche tou mouri sou kabann li an.
And when Elisha had come into the house, behold, the child was dead, [and] laid upon his bed.
33 Pou sa, li te antre fèmen pòt la dèyè yo toude a, e te priye a SENYÈ a.
He went in therefore, and shut the door upon them both, and prayed 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.
And he went up, and lay upon the child, and put his mouth upon his mouth, and his eyes upon his eyes, and his hands upon his hands: and he stretched himself upon the child; and the flesh of the child 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 returned, and walked in the house to and fro; and went up, and stretched himself upon him: and the child sneezed seven times, and the child opened his eyes.
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 called Gehazi, and said, Call this Shunamite. So he called her. And when she had come in to him, he said, Take up thy 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.
Then she went in, and fell at his feet, and bowed herself to the ground, and took up her son, 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 came again to Gilgal. And [there was] a dearth in the land; and the sons of the prophets [were] sitting before him: and he said to his servant, Set on the great pot, and boil pottage 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 gather herbs, and found a wild vine, and gathered from it wild gourds his lap full, and came and shred [them] into the pot of pottage: for they knew [them] not.
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.
So they poured out for the men to eat. And it came to pass, as they were eating of the pottage, that they cried out, and said, O [thou] man of God, [there is] death in the pot. And they could not eat [of it].
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, Then bring meal. And he cast [it] into the pot; and he said, Pour out for the people, that they may eat. And there was no harm 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.”
And there came a man from Baal-shalisha, and brought the man of God bread of the first fruits, twenty loaves of barley, and full ears of corn in its husk. And he said, Give to the people, that they may eat.
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.’”
And his servitor said, What, should I set this before a hundred men? He said again, Give the people, that they may eat: for thus saith the LORD, They shall eat, and shall leave [of it].
44 Konsa, li te mete li devan yo, yo te manje e te genyen ki te rete, selon pawòl SENYÈ a.
So he set [it] before them, and they ate, and left [of it], according to the word of the LORD.
