2 Wa 5

1 Alò, Naaman, kapitèn lame a wa Syrie a, te yon mesye enpòtan a mèt li e li te estime anpil. Akoz li menm, SENYÈ a te bay yon viktwa pou Syrie. Anplis, mesye a te yon gèrye gran kouraj, men li te gen lalèp.

Now Naiman, the captain of the host of Syria, was a great man before his master, and highly respected, because by him the Lord had given deliverance to Syria, and the man was mighty in strength, [but] a leper.

2 Alò, Siryen yo te sòti pa ekip e yo te pran an kaptivite yon jenn tifi nan peyi Israël; epi li te sèvi madanm a Naaman an.

And the Syrians went forth in small bands, and took captive out of the land of Israel a little maid: and she waited on Naiman's wife.

3 Li te pale konsa a mètrès li a: “Mwen ta tèlman vle ke mèt mwen an te avèk pwofèt Samarie a! Konsa, li ta geri li pou l pa gen lalèp la.”

And she said to her mistress, O that my lord were before the prophet of God in Samaria; then he would recover him from his leprosy.

4 Naaman te antre kote mèt li a e te di: “Men konsa, fi ki sòti peyi Israël la te pale.”

And she went in and told her lord, and said, Thus and thus spoke the maid from the land of Israel.

5 Alò, wa Syrie a te di: “Ale koulye a e mwen va voye yon lèt kote wa Israël la.” Li te sòti e te pran avè l dis talan ajan ak si-mil sik an lò ak dis echanj vètman konplè.

And the king of Syria said to Naiman, Go to, go, and I will send a letter to the king of Israel. And he went, and took in his hand ten talents of silver, and six thousand pieces of gold, and ten changes of raiment.

6 Li te mennen lèt la bay wa Israël la ki te di: “Epi koulye a, kòmsi lèt sa a rive bò kote ou, men vwala, mwen te voye Naaman, sèvitè mwen an kote ou, pou ou kab geri li nan afè lalèp sila a.”

And he brought the letter to the king of Israel, saying, Now then, as soon as this letter shall reach thee, behold, I have sent to thee my servant Naiman, and thou shalt recover him from his leprosy.

7 Lè wa Israël la te li lèt sa a, li te chire rad li. Li te di: “Èske se Bondye mwen ye, pou m kab touye e fè viv, pou nonm sa ta voye kote mwen pou geri yon mesye ki gen lalèp? Men gade byen kijan l ap chache yon kont avè m.”

And it came to pass, when the king of Israel read the letter, [that] he rent his garments, and said, [Am] I God, to kill and to make alive, that this [man] sends to me to recover a man of his leprosy? consider, however, I pray you, and see that this [man] seeks an occasion against me.

8 Li te rive ke lè Élisée, nonm Bondye a te tande ke wa Israël la te chire rad li, li te voye kote wa a e te di: “Poukisa ou chire rad ou konsa? Koulye a, kite li vin kote mwen e li va konnen ke gen yon pwofèt an Israël.”

And it came to pass, when Elisaie heard that the king of Israel had rent his garments, that he sent to the king of Israel, saying, Wherefore hast thou rent thy garments? Let Naiman, I pray thee, come to me, and let him know that there is a prophet in Israel.

9 Konsa, Naaman te vini avèk cheval li yo ak cha li yo e te kanpe devan pòtay lakay Élisée.

So Naiman came with horse and chariot, and stood at the door of the house of Elisaie.

10 Élisée te voye yon mesaje kote li ki te di: “Ale benyen nan Jourdain an sèt fwa. Chè ou va restore a ou menm e ou va vin pwòp.”

And Elisaie sent a messenger to him, saying, Go and wash seven times in Jordan, and thy flesh shall return to thee, and thou shalt be cleansed.

11 Men Naaman te vin byen fache. Li te sòti e te di: “Gade byen, mwen te konnen ke asireman, li ta parèt deyò kote mwen, kanpe pou rele non SENYÈ a, Bondye li a e voye men li sou plas pou geri moun lalèp la.

And Naiman was angry, and departed, and said, Behold, I said, He will by all means come out to me, and stand, and call on the name of his God, and lay his hand upon the place, and recover the leper.

12 Èske rivyè Abana avèk Parpar nan Damas yo pa pi bon ke tout flèv Israël yo? Èske mwen pa t kab lave m nan yo e vin pwòp?” Konsa, li te vire sòti byen anraje.

[Are] not the Abana and Pharphar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? may I not go and wash in them, and be cleansed? and he turned and went away in a rage.

13 Alò, sèvitè li yo te pwoche; yo te pale avèk li e te di: “Papa mwen, si pwofèt la te di ou pou fè yon gwo bagay, èske ou pa t ap fè l. Konbyen, anplis, lè li di ou ‘Lave ou pou vin pwòp?’”

And his servants came near and said to him, [Suppose] the prophet had spoken a great thing to thee, wouldest thou not perform it? yet he has but said to thee, Wash, and be cleansed.

14 Pou sa, li te desann e te fonse kò l sèt fwa nan Jourdain an, selon pawòl a nonm Bondye a; epi chè li te restore tankou chè a yon timoun, e li te vin pwòp.

So Naiman went down, and dipped himself seven times in Jordan, according to the word of Elisaie: and his flesh returned to him as the flesh of a little child, and he was cleansed.

15 Lè li te retounen kote nonm Bondye a avèk tout konpanyen li e te vin kanpe devan li, li te di: “Gade byen, koulye a, mwen konnen ke nanpwen lòt Dye nan tout tè a, sof ke an Israël. Pou sa, souple, aksepte yon kado nan men sèvitè ou a depi koulye a.”

And he and all his company returned to Elisaie, and he came and stood before him, and said, Behold, I know that there is no God in all the earth, save only in Israel: and now receive a blessing of thy servant.

16 Men li te di: “Jan SENYÈ a viv la, devan sila mwen kanpe a, mwen p ap pran anyen.” Konsa, li te ankouraje l pran, men li te refize.

And Elisaie said, [As] the Lord lives, before whom I stand, I will not take [one]. And he pressed him to take [one]: but he would not.

17 Naaman te di: “Malgre, si se pa sa, souple, bay sèvitè ou a chaj de milèt tè; paske sèvitè ou a p ap ofri ofrann brile ni sakrifis a lòt dye, men a SENYÈ a.

And Naiman said, Well then, if not, let there be given to thy servant, I pray thee, the load [of a] yoke of mules; and thou shalt give me of the red earth: for henceforth thy servant will not offer whole-burnt-offering or sacrifice to other gods, but only to the Lord by [reason of] this thing.

18 Nan ka sa a, ke SENYÈ a kapab padone sèvitè ou a: lè mèt mwen antre nan kay Rimmon an, pou adore la, li va apiye sou men m e mwen va bese lakay Rimmon an, pou SENYÈ a kapab padone sèvitè ou a nan ka sa a.”

And let the Lord be propitious to thy servant when my master goes into the house of Remman to worship there, and he shall lean on my hand, and I shall bow down in the house of Remman when he bows down in the house of Remman; even let the Lord, I pray, be merciful to thy servant in this matter.

19 Li te di li: “Ale anpè.” Konsa, li te pati de li a yon distans.

And Elisaie said to Naiman, Go in peace. And he departed from him a little way.

20 Men Guéhazi, sèvitè Élisée a, nonm Bondye a, te reflechi: “Men gade, mèt mwen an te konsève Naaman sila a, Siryen an, pwiske li pa resevwa nan men l sa ke li te pote a. Jan SENYÈ a viv la, mwen ap kouri dèyè l e pran yon bagay de li menm.”

And Giezi the servant of Elisaie said, Behold, my Lord has spared this Syrian Naiman, so as not to take of his hand what he has brought: as the Lord lives, I will surely run after him, and take somewhat of him.

21 Konsa, Guéhazi te kouri dèyè Naaman. Lè Naaman te wè yon moun vin kouri dèyè li, li te desann cha a pou rankontre li. Li te di: “Èske tout bagay byen?”

So Giezi followed after Naiman: and Naiman saw him running after him, and turned back from his chariot to meet him.

22 Li te di: “Tout bagay byen. Mèt mwen an voye mwen. Li te di: ‘Gade byen, soti koulye a, de jenn mesye ki pami fis a pwofèt yo te vin kote mwen soti nan peyi ti mòn Ephraïm yo. Souple, ba yo yon talan ajan ak de echanj konplè nan vètman yo.’”

And [Giezi] said, All is well: my master has sent me, saying, Behold, now are there come to me two young men of the sons of the prophets from mount Ephraim; give them, I pray thee, a talent of silver, and two changes of raiment.

23 Naaman te di: “Avèk plezi, pran de talan yo.” Epi li te ankouraje li. Li te mare de talan ajan yo nan de sak avèk de echanj konplè nan rad yo, e li te bay yo a de sèvitè li yo, epi yo te pote yo devan li.

And [Naiman] said, Take two talents of silver. And he took two talents of silver in two bags, and two changes of raiment, and put them upon two of his servants, and they bore them before him.

24 Lè li te rive kote ti mòn nan, li te pran yo soti nan men yo, li te mete yo nan kay la, li te voye mesye yo ale e yo te pati.

And he came to a secret place, and took them from their hands, and laid them up in the house, and dismissed the men.

25 Men li te antre ladann e te kanpe devan mèt li. Konsa, Elisée te di li: “Kote ou te ye Guéhazi?” Li te reponn: “Sèvitè ou a pa t ale okenn kote non.”

And he went in himself and stood before his master; and Elisaie said to him,

26 Epi li te di l: “Èske kè m pa t sòti lè mesye a te vire kite cha li pou vin rankontre ou a? Èske sa se lè pou resevwa lajan, pou resevwa rad, chan doliv avèk chan rezen, avèk mouton ak bèf ak sèvitè avèk sèvant?

Whence [comest thou], Giezi? and Giezi said, Thy servant has not been hither or thither. And Elisaie said to him, Went not my heart with thee, when the man returned from his chariot to meet thee? and now thou hast received silver, and now thou hast received raiment, and olive yards, and vineyards, and sheep, and oxen, and menservants, and maidservants.

27 Pou sa, lalèp Naaman an ap kole sou ou avèk desandan ou yo jis pou tout tan.” Konsa, li te kite prezans li kon yon lèp blan tankou lanèj.

The leprosy also of Naiman shall cleave to thee, and to thy seed for ever. And he went out from his presence leprous, like snow.
