2 Wa 6
1 Alò fis a pwofèt yo te di a Élisée: “Gade byen, plas devan ou kote nou rete a twò piti pou nou.
And the sons of the prophets said to Elisaie, Behold now, the place wherein we dwell before you is too narrow for us.
2 Souple, annou ale nan Jourdain an e chak nan nou pran soti la yon poto epi annou fè yon plas pou pwòp tèt nou kote nou kab rete a.” Li te reponn: “Ale.”
Let us go, we pray you, to Jordan, and take thence every man a beam, and make for ourselves a habitation there.
3 Alò youn nan yo te di: “Souple, fè dakò pou ale avèk sèvitè nou yo.” Li te reponn: “M ap prale.”
And he said, Go. And one of them said gently, Come with your servants. And he said, I will go.
4 Konsa, li te ale avèk yo. Lè yo rive kote Jourdain an, yo te koupe bwa yo.
And he went with them, and they came to Jordan, and began to cut down wood.
5 Men pandan youn nan yo t ap fè tonbe yon poto, tèt rach la te tonbe nan dlo. Nom nan te kriye fò e te di: “Anmwey, mèt mwen! Paske se prete li te ye!”
And behold, one was cutting down a beam, and the axe head fell into the water: and he cried out, Alas! master: and it was hidden.
6 Epi nonm Bondye a te di: “Se kibò li te tonbe?” Epi lè li te montre li kote a, li te koupe yon bout bwa, e li te voye ladann pou te fè fè a vin monte sou dlo a.
And the man of God said, Where did it fall? and he showed him the place: and he broke off a stick, and threw it in there, and the iron came to the surface.
7 Li te di: “Ranmase l pou kont ou.” Konsa, li te lonje men li pou te pran l.
And he said, Take it up to yourself. And he stretched out his hand, and took it.
8 Alò, wa Syrie a te fè lagè kont Israël, epi li te konsilte avèk sèvitè li yo. Li te di: “Antre tèl kote ak tèl kote, ki kote nou va fè kan an.”
And the king of Syria was at war with Israel: and he consulted with his servants, saying, I will encamp in such a place.
9 Nonm Bondye a te voye kote wa Israël la. Li te di: “Veye pou ou pa pase nan kote sila a, paske Siryen yo ap desann la.”
And Elisaie sent to the king of Israel, saying, Take heed that you pass not by that place, for the Syrians are hidden there.
10 Wa Israël la te voye nan plas kote nonm Bondye a te pale li a pou avèti l. Konsa, plis ke yon fwa oswa de fwa, li te sove li plizyè fwa.
And the king of Israel sent to the place which Elisaie mentioned to him, and saved himself thence not once or twice.
11 Alò, kè a wa Syrie a te anraje sou afè sa a. Li te rele sèvitè li yo e te di yo: “Èske ou va di mwen kilès nan nou ki pou wa Israël la?”
And the mind of the king of Syria was very much disturbed concerning this thing; and he called his servants, and said to them, Will you not tell me who betrays me to the king of Israel?
12 Youn nan sèvitè li yo te di: “Non, mèt mwen, O wa a; men Élisée, pwofèt ki an Israël la ap pale wa Israël la pawòl ke ou pale menm nan chanm dòmi ou.”
And one of his servants said, Nay, my Lord, O king, for Elisaie the prophet that is in Israel reports to the king of Israel all the words whatever you may say in your bedchamber.
13 Konsa, li te di: “Ale wè kote li ye a pou m kab voye pran l.” Epi yo te pale li, e te di: “Gade, li Dothan.”
And he said, Go, see where this man [is], and I will send and take him. And they sent word to him, saying, Behold, [he is] in Dothaim.
14 Li te voye cheval avèk cha avèk yon gwo lame la. Yo te vini pandan lannwit e te antoure vil la.
And he sent there horses, and chariots, and a mighty host: and they came by night, and compassed about the city.
15 Alò, lè sèvitè a nonm Bondye a te leve bonè pou te sòti deyò, vwala, yon lame avèk cheval ak cha te antoure vil la. Epi sèvitè li a te di li: “Anmwey, mèt mwen! Kisa n ap fè?”
And the servant of Elisaie rose up early and went out; and, behold, a host compassed the city, and horses and chariots: and the servant said to him, O master, what shall we do?
16 Konsa, li te reponn: “Pa pè, paske sila ki avèk nou yo plis pase sila ki avèk yo a.”
And Elisaie said, Fear not, for they who are with us [are] more than they that are with them.
17 Epi Élisée te priye e te di: “O SENYÈ, Mwen priye, ouvri zye li pou li kapab wè.” Epi SENYÈ a te ouvri zye a sèvitè li pou li te wè. Men vwala, tout mòn nan te ranpli avèk cheval avèk cha dife toupatou te antoure Élisée.
And Elisaie prayed, and said, Lord, open, I pray you, the eyes of the servant, and let him see. And the Lord opened his eyes, and he saw: and, behold, the mountain [was] full of horses, and there were chariots of fire round about Elisaie.
18 Lè yo te desann kote li, Élisée te priye a SENYÈ a e te di: “Mwen priye, frape pèp sa a pou fè yo vin avèg.” Konsa, Li te frape yo pou fè yo vin avèg selon pawòl Élisée a.
And they came down to him; and he prayed to the Lord, and said, Strike, I pray you, this people with blindness. And he struck them with blindness, according to the word of Elisaie.
19 Konsa, Élisée te di yo: “Sa se pa chemen, ni se pa vil sa a. Swiv mwen e mwen va mennen ou kote nonm ke w ap chache a.” Epi li te mennen yo rive Samarie.
And Elisaie said to them, This [is] not the city, and this [is] not the way: follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom you seek. And he led them away to Samaria.
20 Lè yo te rive Samarie, Élisée te di: “O SENYÈ, ouvri zye a moun sila yo pou yo kapab wè.” Konsa, SENYÈ a te ouvri zye yo pou yo te wè; epi vwala, yo te nan mitan Samarie.
And it came to pass when they entered into Samaria, that Elisaie said, Open, I pray you, O Lord, their eyes, and let them see. And the Lord opened their eyes, and they saw; and, behold, they were in the midst of Samaria.
21 Konsa, wa Israël la, lè li te wè yo, li te di Élisée: “Papa mwen, èske m dwe touye yo? Èske m dwe touye yo?”
And the king of Israel said to Elisaie, when he saw them, Shall I [not] verily strike them, [my] father?
22 Li te reponn: “Ou pa pou touye yo. Èske ou ta touye sila ke ou fin pran an kaptivite avèk nepe oubyen ak banza ou? Mete pen avèk dlo devan yo pou yo kab manje ak bwè e ale kote mèt pa yo.”
And he said, You shall not strike them, unless you would strike those whom you have taken captive with your sword and with your bow: set bread and water before them, and let them eat and drink, and depart to their master.
23 Konsa, li te prepare yon gran repa pou yo, epi lè yo te fin manje e bwè, li te voye yo ale. Yo te ale kote mèt pa yo, epi bann piyajè Siryen yo pa t vini ankò nan peyi Israël.
And he set before them a great feast, and they ate and drank: and he dismissed them and they departed to their master. And the bands of Syria came no longer into the land of Israel.
24 Alò, li te vin rive apre sa ke Ben-Hadad, wa Syrie a, te rasanble tout lame li a e te monte fè syèj kont Samarie.
And it came to pass after this, that the son of Ader king of Syria gathered all his army, and went up, and besieged Samaria.
25 Te gen yon gwo grangou nan Samarie. Konsa, gade byen, yo te fè syèj la jis li rive ke tèt a yon bourik te vann pou katreven sik an ajan e yon ka kab poupou toutrèl pou senk sik ajan.
And there was a great famine in Samaria: and, behold, they besieged it, until an ass's head was [valued] at fifty pieces of silver, and the fourth part of a cab of dove's dung at five pieces of silver.
26 Pandan wa Israël la t ap pase sou mi an, yon fanm te kriye fò a li menm e te di: “Fè m sekou, mèt mwen, O Wa a!”
And the king of Israel was passing by on the wall, and a woman cried to him, saying, Help, my lord, O king.
27 Wa a te di: “Si SENYÈ a pa ede ou, soti kibò mwen kab ede ou? Depi nan glasi vannen an, oswa avèk aparèy peze rezen an?”
And he said to her, Unless the Lord help you, whence shall I help you? from the corn-floor, or from the wine-press?
28 Epi wa a te mande l: “Kisa ou genyen?” Epi li te reponn: “Fanm sa a te di mwen: ‘Ban m ti fis ou a pou nou kab manje li jodi a e nou va manje fis pa ou a demen.’
And the king said to her, What is [the matter] with you? And the woman said to him, This [woman] said to me, Give your son, and we will eat him today, and we will eat my son to-morrow.
29 Konsa, nou te bouyi fis mwen an e manje li; epi mwen te di li sou jou ki vini an: ‘Ban m fis ou a pou nou kab manje li,’ men li te kache fis li a.”
So we boiled my son, and ate him; and I said to her on the second day, Give your son, and let us eat him: and she has hidden her son.
30 Lè wa a te tande pawòl a fanm nan, li te chire rad li—epi koulye a, li t ap pase sou mi an—-e pèp la t ap gade, epi vwala, li te gen twal sak anba vètman a sou kò li.
And it came to pass, when the king of Israel heard the words of the woman, [that] he tore his garments; and he passed by on the wall, and the people saw sackcloth within upon his flesh.
31 Konsa, li te di: “Ke Bondye fè m sa, e menm plis, si tèt a Élisée, fis a Schaphath la rete sou kò li jodi a.”
And he said, God do so to me and more also, if the head of Elisaie shall stand upon him this day.
32 Alò, Élisée te chita lakay li a, e ansyen yo te chita avèk li. Epi wa a te voye yon mesye soti nan prezans li; men avan mesaje a te rive kote li, Élisée te di a ansyen yo: “Èske ou wè kijan mesye sa a, fis a yon asasen te voye pou retire pran tèt mwen? Gade, lè mesaje a vini, fèmen pòt la kont li e kenbe pòt la fèmen kont li. Èske se pa son a pye mèt li a ki dèyè li?”
And Elisaie was sitting in his house, and the elders were sitting with him; and [the king] sent a man before him: before the messenger came to him, he also said to the elders, Do you see that this son of a murderer has sent to take away my head? See, as soon as the messenger shall have come, shut the door, and forcibly detain him at the door: [is] not the sound of his master's feet behind him?
33 Pandan li te toujou ap pale avèk yo, men vwala, mesaje a te desann kote li. Li te di: “Men gade, mechanste sa a sòti nan SENYÈ a; poukisa mwen ta dwe tann SENYÈ a ankò?”
While he was yet speaking with them, behold, a messenger came to him: and he said, Behold, this evil [is] of the Lord; why should I wait for the Lord any longer?
