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.’”
Elisha said, “Hear the word of Yahweh. This is what Yahweh says: 'Tomorrow about this time a measure of fine flour will 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 the captain on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God, and said, “See, even if Yahweh should make windows in heaven, can this thing happen?” Elisha replied, “See, you will watch it happen with your own eyes, but you will not eat any of it.”
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?
Now there were four men with leprosy right outside the city gate. They said one to another, “Why should we sit 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 that we should go into the city, then the famine is in the city, and we will die there. But if we still sit here, we will still die. Now then, come, let us go to the army of the Arameans. If they keep us alive, we will live, and if they kill us, we will only die.”
5 Konsa, yo te leve avan l fènwa pou ale nan kan Siryen yo, epi gade byen, pa t gen moun la.
So they rose up at twilight to go into the Aramean camp; when they arrived at the outermost part of the camp, there was no one 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 Aramean army hear a noise of chariots, and a noise of horses—the noise of another large army, and they said to each other, “The king of Israel has hired the kings of the Hittites and Egyptians to come against 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.
So the soldiers arose and fled in the twilight; they left their tents, their horses, their donkeys, and the camp as it was, and fled for their lives.
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.
When the men with leprosy came to the outermost part of the camp, they went into one tent and ate and drank, and carried away silver and gold and clothes, and went and hid them. They came back and entered into another tent and carried plunder away from 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 each other, “We are not doing right. This day is a day of good news, but we are keeping quiet about it. If we wait until daybreak, punishment will overtake us. Now then, come, let us 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 went and called the gatekeepers of the city. They told them, saying, “We went to the camp of the Arameans, but there was no one there, not the sound of anyone, but there were the horses tied, and the donkeys tied, and the tents as they were.”
11 Gadyen pòtay yo te rele pale anndan kay wa a.
Then the gatekeepers shouted out the news, and then it was told inside the king's household.
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.’”
Then the king arose at night and said to his servants, “I will tell you now what the Arameans have done to us. They know that we are hungry, so they have gone out of the camp to hide themselves in the fields. They are saying, 'When they come out of the city, we will take 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.”
One of the king's servants answered and said, “I beg you, let some men take five of the horses that remain, which are left in the city. They are like all the rest of the population of Israel who are left—most are now dead; let us send them 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.”
So they took two chariots with horses, and the king sent them after the army of the Arameans, 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.
They went after them to the Jordan, and all the road was full of clothes and equipment that the Arameans had cast away in their hurry. So 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.
The people went out and plundered the camp of the Arameans. So a measure of fine flour was sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, just as the word of Yahweh had said.
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.
The king had ordered the captain on whose hand he had leaned to be in charge of the gate, and the people trampled him down in the gateway. He died as the man of God had said, who spoke when the king had come 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.”
So it happened as the man of God had said to the king, saying, “About this time in the gate of Samaria, two measures of barley will be available for a shekel, and a measure of fine flour for a shekel.”
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.”
That captain had answered the man of God and said, “See, even if Yahweh should make windows in heaven, can this thing happen?” Elisha had said, “See, you will watch it happen with your own eyes, but you will not eat any of it.”
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.
That is what exactly what happened to him, for the people trampled him in the gate, and he died.
