< 2 Wa 7 >
1 Epi Élisée te di: “Koute pawòl SENYÈ a. Konsa pale SENYÈ a: ‘Demen vè lè sa a, yon mezi farin fen va vann pou yon sik, e de mezi lòj pou yon sik nan pòtay Samarie a.’”
Then Elisha said, Hear you the word of the LORD; Thus says the LORD, To morrow about this time shall a measure of fine flour be sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, in the gate of Samaria.
2 Ofisye wayal la sou men a sila wa a te apiye a te reponn nonm Bondye a. Li te di: “Gade byen, menm si SENYÈ a ta fè fenèt nan syèl la, èske bagay sa a ta kab rive?” Konsa, Élisée te reponn: “Gade byen, ou va wè l ak pwòp zye pa w, men ou p ap manje ladann.”
Then a lord on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God, and said, Behold, if the LORD would make windows in heaven, might this thing be? And he said, Behold, you shall see it with your eyes, but shall not eat thereof.
3 Alò, te genyen kat mesye lalèp nan antre pòtay la. Yo te di youn ak lòt: “Poukisa n ap chita la jiskaske nou mouri?
And there were four leprous men at the entering in of the gate: and they said one to another, Why sit we here until we die?
4 Si nou di: ‘N ap antre nan vil la’, alò grangou nan vil la, nou va mouri la. Epi si nou chita isit la, nou va mouri tou. Pou sa, vini, annou janbe lòtbò nan kan Siryen yo. Si yo lese nou viv, nou va viv; epi si yo touye nou, nou p ap gen plis pase mouri.”
If we say, We will enter into the city, then the famine is in the city, and we shall die there: and if we sit still here, we die also. Now therefore come, and let us fall to the host of the Syrians: if they save us alive, we shall live; and if they kill us, we shall but die.
5 Konsa, yo te leve avan l fènwa pou ale nan kan Siryen yo, epi gade byen, pa t gen moun la.
And they rose up in the twilight, to go to the camp of the Syrians: and when they were come to the uttermost part of the camp of Syria, behold, there was no man there.
6 Paske SENYÈ a te fè lame Siryen an tande bwi a cha yo avèk bwi cheval yo, son a yon gwo lame, jiskaske yo te di youn ak lòt: “Men gade, wa Israël la gen tan mete an sèvis kont nou wa Etyen yo avèk wa Ejipsyen yo pou yo vini sou nou.”
For the LORD had made the host of the Syrians to hear a noise of chariots, and a noise of horses, even the noise of a great host: and they said one to another, See, the king of Israel has hired against us the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of the Egyptians, to come on us.
7 Pou sa, yo te leve kouri pandan tenèb la t ap pwoche e te kite tant yo avèk cheval yo avèk bourik yo ak kan an, jis jan ke li te ye a pou te sove ale e sove lavi yo.
Why they arose and fled in the twilight, and left their tents, and their horses, and their asses, even the camp as it was, and fled for their life.
8 Lè moun lalèp sa yo te rive nan landwa kan an, yo te antre nan yon tant pou te manje ak bwè e yo te pote soti la, ajan avèk lò avèk rad pou te ale sere yo. Epi yo te tounen antre nan yon lòt tant pou te pote soti la tou pou te ale sere yo.
And when these lepers came to the uttermost part of the camp, they went into one tent, and did eat and drink, and carried there silver, and gold, and raiment, and went and hid it; and came again, and entered into another tent, and carried there also, and went and hid it.
9 Men konsa, yo te pale youn ak lòt: “Nou pa fè byen. Jou sa a se yon jou bòn nouvèl, men nou rete an silans. Si nou tann jis rive maten an, pinisyon va vin rive sou nou. Alò, pou sa, annou ale pale moun lakay wa a.”
Then they said one to another, We do not well: this day is a day of good tidings, and we hold our peace: if we tarry till the morning light, some mischief will come on us: now therefore come, that we may go and tell the king’s household.
10 Konsa, yo te antre e yo te rele gadyen pòtay lavil yo pou te pale yo e te di: “Nou te rive nan kan Siryen yo e vwala, pa t gen moun la, ni menm vwa a yon moun, men sèlman cheval ki te mare ak bourik mare e tant yo menm jan yo te ye.”
So they came and called to the porter of the city: and they told them, saying, We came to the camp of the Syrians, and, behold, there was no man there, neither voice of man, but horses tied, and asses tied, and the tents as they were.
11 Gadyen pòtay yo te rele pale anndan kay wa a.
And he called the porters; and they told it to the king’s house within.
12 Wa a te leve nan lannwit lan e li te di a sèvitè li yo: “Mwen va pale ou koulye a sa ke Siryen yo gen tan fè. Yo konnen ke nou grangou; pou sa, yo te kite kan an pou kache yo menm nan chan an. Y ap di: ‘Lè yo sòti lavil la, nou va kaptire yo vivan e antre nan vil la.’”
And the king arose in the night, and said to his servants, I will now show you what the Syrians have done to us. They know that we be hungry; therefore are they gone out of the camp to hide themselves in the field, saying, When they come out of the city, we shall catch them alive, and get into the city.
13 Youn nan sèvitè li yo te di: “Souple, kite kèk moun pran senk nan cheval ki rete lavil la. Gade byen, malgre nenpòt nan yo va menm jan ak tout rès foul moun ki rete ladann nan. Gade byen, yo tankou tout foul ki gen tan peri deja. Pou sa, annou voye gade.”
And one of his servants answered and said, Let some take, I pray you, five of the horses that remain, which are left in the city, (behold, they are as all the multitude of Israel that are left in it: behold, I say, they are even as all the multitude of the Israelites that are consumed: ) and let us send and see.
14 Konsa, yo te pran de cha avèk cheval e wa a te voye yo dèyè lame Siryen an, e te di: “Ale gade.”
They took therefore two chariot horses; and the king sent after the host of the Syrians, saying, Go and see.
15 Yo te ale dèyè yo jis rive nan Jourdain an, e gade, tout chemen an te ranpli avèk rad ak ekipaj ke Siryen yo te jete nan sove ale. Alò, mesaje yo te retounen pou te pale wa a.
And they went after them to Jordan: and, see, all the way was full of garments and vessels, which the Syrians had cast away in their haste. And the messengers returned, and told the king.
16 Konsa, pèp la te sòti e te piyaje kan Siryen an. Alò, yon mezi farin fen te vann pou yon sik e de mezi lòj pou yon sik, selon pawòl SENYÈ a.
And the people went out, and spoiled the tents of the Syrians. So a measure of fine flour was sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, according to the word of the LORD.
17 Alò, wa a te chwazi menm ofisye wayal la, sou men a sila li te konn apiye a, pou pran chaj pòtay la; men pèp la te foule li anba pye nan pòtay la e li te vin mouri jis jan ke nonm Bondye a te pale a, ki t ap pale pandan wa a te vin desann kote l la.
And the king appointed the lord on whose hand he leaned to have the charge of the gate: and the people stepped on him in the gate, and he died, as the man of God had said, who spoke when the king came down to him.
18 Li te vin rive jis jan ke nonm Bondye a te pale a wa a, lè l te di: “De mezi lòj pou yon sik e yon mezi farin fen pou yon sik, va vann demen vè lè sa a nan pòtay Samarie.”
And it came to pass as the man of God had spoken to the king, saying, Two measures of barley for a shekel, and a measure of fine flour for a shekel, shall be to morrow about this time in the gate of Samaria:
19 Epi ofisye wayal la te reponn nonm Bondye a e te di: “Alò gade byen, Si SENYÈ a ta fè fenèt nan syèl la, èske yon bagay konsa ta kab rive?” Epi li te di: “Gade byen, ou va wè li avèk pwòp zye pa ou, men ou p ap manje ladann.”
And that lord answered the man of God, and said, Now, behold, if the LORD should make windows in heaven, might such a thing be? And he said, Behold, you shall see it with your eyes, but shall not eat thereof.
20 Epi se konsa sa te vin rive li, paske pèp la te foule li anba pye nan pòtay la, e li te vin mouri.
And so it fell out to him: for the people stepped on him in the gate, and he died.
