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 Naaman, captain of the army of the king of Aram, was a great man with his master, and honorable, because by him Jehovah had given victory to Aram: he was also a mighty man of valor, but he was 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.
The Arameans had gone out in bands, and had brought away captive out of the land of Israel a little maiden; and she waited on Naaman'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.”
She said to her mistress, "I wish that my lord were with the prophet who is in Samaria. Then he would heal him of his leprosy."
4 Naaman te antre kote mèt li a e te di: “Men konsa, fi ki sòti peyi Israël la te pale.”
Someone went in, and told his lord, saying, "The maiden who is from the land of Israel said this."
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.
The king of Aram said, "Go now, and I will send a letter to the king of Israel." He departed, and took with him ten talents of silver, and six thousand pieces of gold, and ten changes of clothing.
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.”
He brought the letter to the king of Israel, saying, "Now when this letter has come to you, look, I have sent Naaman my servant to you, that you may heal him of 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.”
It happened, when the king of Israel had read the letter, that he tore his clothes, and said, "Am I God, to kill and to make alive, that this man sends to me to heal a man of his leprosy? But please consider and see how he seeks a quarrel 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.”
It was so, when Elisha the man of God heard that the king of Israel had torn his clothes, that he sent to the king, saying, "Why have you torn your clothes? Let him come now to me, and he shall 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 Naaman came with his horses and with his chariots, and stood at the door of the house of Elisha.
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.”
Elisha sent a messenger to him, saying, "Go and wash in the Jordan seven times, and your flesh shall come again to you, and you shall be clean."
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.
But Naaman was angry, and went away, and said, "Look, I thought, 'He will surely come out to me, and stand, and call on the name of Jehovah his God, and wave his hand over the place, and heal 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.
Aren't Abanah and Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Couldn't I go wash in them, and be clean?" So 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?’”
His servants came near, and spoke to him, and said, "My father, if the prophet had asked you to do some great thing, wouldn't you have done it? How much rather then, when he says to you, 'Wash, and be clean?'"
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.
Then he went down and dipped himself seven times in the Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God; and his flesh was restored like the flesh of a little child, and he was clean.
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.”
He returned to the man of God, he and all his company, and came, and stood before him; and he said, "See now, I know that there is no God in all the earth, but in Israel. Now therefore, please take a gift from your 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.
But he said, "As Jehovah lives, before whom I stand, I will receive none." He urged him to take it; but he refused.
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.
Naaman said, "If not, then, please let two mules' burden of earth be given to your servant; for your servant will from now on offer neither burnt offering nor sacrifice to other gods, but to Jehovah.
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.”
In this thing may Jehovah pardon your servant: when my master goes into the house of Rimmon to worship there, and he leans on my hand, and I bow myself in the house of Rimmon. When I bow myself in the house of Rimmon, may Jehovah pardon your servant in this thing."
19 Li te di li: “Ale anpè.” Konsa, li te pati de li a yon distans.
He said to him, "Go in peace." So 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.”
But Gehazi the servant of Elisha the man of God, said, "Look, my master has spared this Naaman the Aramean, in not receiving at his hands that which he brought. As Jehovah lives, I will run after him, and take something from 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 Gehazi followed after Naaman. When Naaman saw one running after him, he came down from the chariot to meet him, and said, "Is all well?"
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.’”
He said, "All is well. My master has sent me, saying, 'Look, even now two young men of the sons of the prophets have come to me from the hill country of Ephraim. Please give them a talent of silver and two changes of clothing.'"
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.
Naaman said, "Be pleased to take two talents." He urged him, and bound two talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of clothing, and laid them on two of his servants; and they carried 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.
When he came to the hill, he took them from their hand, and stored them in the house. Then he let the men go, and they departed.
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.”
But he went in, and stood before his master. Elisha said to him, "Where did you come from, Gehazi?" He said, "Your servant went nowhere."
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?
He said to him, "Did not my heart go with you, when the man turned from his chariot to meet you? Is it a time to receive money, and to receive garments, and olive groves and vineyards, and sheep and cattle, and male servants and female servants?
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.
Therefore the leprosy of Naaman will cling to you and to your descendants forever." He went out from his presence a leper, as white as snow.
