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, commander of the army of the king of Aram, was a great and honorable man in his master's view, because by him Yahweh had given victory to Aram. He was also a strong, courageous man, 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 raiding in bands and had taken a little girl from the land of Israel. She served 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.”
The girl said to her mistress, “I wish that my master were with the prophet who is in Samaria! Then he would heal my master of his leprosy.”
4 Naaman te antre kote mèt li a e te di: “Men konsa, fi ki sòti peyi Israël la te pale.”
So Naaman went in and told the king what the little girl from the land of Israel had said.
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.
So the king of Aram said, “Go now, and I will send a letter to the king of Israel.” Naaman left and took with him ten talents of silver, six thousand pieces of gold, and ten changes of clothes.
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 also took the letter to the king of Israel that said, “Now when this letter is brought to you, you will see that I have sent Naaman my servant to you, so that you may cure 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.”
When the king of Israel had read the letter, he tore his clothes and said, “Am I God, to kill and to make alive, that this man wants me to cure a man of his leprosy? It seems he is seeking to start an argument with 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.”
So when Elisha the man of God heard that the king of Israel had torn his clothes, he sent word to the king saying, “Why have you torn your clothes? Let him come now to me, and he will 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 Elisha's house.
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 dip yourself into the Jordan seven times, and your flesh will be restored; you will 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 would surely come out to me and stand and call on the name of Yahweh his God, and wave his hand over the place and heal my leprosy.
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 Abanah and Pharpar, the rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? Can I not bathe 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?’”
Then Naaman's servants came near and spoke to him, “My father, if the prophet had commanded you do some difficult thing, would you not have done it? How much rather then, when he says to you to simply, 'Dip yourself 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, obeying the instructions of the man of God. His flesh was restored again like the flesh of a little child, and he was healed.
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.”
Naaman returned to the man of God, he and all his company, and came and stood before him. He said, “Look, now I know that there is no God in all the earth except in Israel. So 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 Elisha replied, “As Yahweh lives, before whom I stand, I will receive nothing.” Naaman urged Elisha to take a gift, 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.
So Naaman said, “If not, then I ask you to let there be given to your servant two mule loads of earth, for from now on, your servant will offer neither burnt offering nor sacrifice to any god but Yahweh.
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 one thing may Yahweh pardon your servant, that is, when my king 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 Yahweh pardon your servant in this matter.”
19 Li te di li: “Ale anpè.” Konsa, li te pati de li a yon distans.
Elisha said to him, “Go in peace.” So Naaman left.
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.”
He had traveled only a short distance, when Gehazi the servant of Elisha the man of God said to himself, “Look, my master has spared this Naaman the Aramean by not receiving from his hands gifts that he brought. As Yahweh lives, I will run after him and receive 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 someone running after him, he jumped down from his chariot to meet him and said, “Is everything alright?”
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.’”
Gehazi said, “Everything is alright. My master has sent me, saying, 'See, now there have come to me from the hill country of Ephraim two young men of the sons of the prophets. Please give them a talent of silver and two changes of clothes.'”
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 replied, “I am very happy to give you two talents.” Naaman urged Gehazi and tied two talents of silver in two bags, with two changes of clothes, and laid them on two of his servants, who carried the bags of silver before Gehazi.
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 Gehazi came to the hill, he took the bags of silver from their hands and hid them in the house; he sent the men away, and they left.
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.”
When Gehazi went in and stood before his master, Elisha said to him, “Where have you come from, Gehazi?” He answered, “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?
Elisha said to Gehazi, “Was not my spirit with you when the man turned his chariot to meet you? Is this a time to accept money and clothes, olive orchards and vineyards, sheep and oxen, 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.
So the leprosy of Naaman will be on you and your descendants forever.” So Gehazi went out from his presence, a leper as white as snow.
