2 Wa 8
1 Alò, Élisée te pale ak fanm a fis ki te geri a. Li te di: “Leve ale avèk tout lakay ou e ale viv nenpòt kote ou kab ale viv; paske SENYÈ a te deklare yon gwo grangou e sa va rive menm sou peyi a pandan sèt ane.”
Elisha told the woman whose son he had brought back to life, “You and your family need to pack up and leave, and live where you can somewhere else like a foreigner. For the Lord announced a famine will come to the land and will last seven years.”
2 Konsa, fanm nan te leve e te fè selon pawòl a nonm Bondye a. Li te ale avèk lakay li pou te vin viv nan peyi Filisten yo pandan sèt ane.
The woman packed up and did what the man of God had told her. She and her family went and lived as foreigners for seven years in the country of the Philistines.
3 Nan fen sèt ane yo, fanm nan te retounen soti nan peyi Filisten yo. Konsa, li te soti deyò pou fè demann a wa a pou lakay li avèk chan li.
When the seven years were over, she came back from the country of the Philistines and went to the king to appeal for the return of her house and lands.
4 Alò, wa a t ap pale avèk Guéhazi, sèvitè a nonm Bondye a, e li t ap di: “Souple, fè m konnen tout gran bagay ke Élisée te konn fè yo.”
The king was talking with Gehazi, the servant of the man of God, asking him, “Please tell me about all the wonderful things Elisha did.”
5 Pandan li t ap pale wa a ki jan li te restore lavi a sila ki te mouri an, men vwala, fanm a fis ke li te resisite a, te fè demann nan pou afè chan pa li a. Epi Guéhazi te di: “Mèt mwen, wa a, sa se fanm nan e sa se fis li a, ke Elisée te restore lavi a.”
It so happened that right then Gehazi was telling the king the story of how Elisha had brought the dead boy back to life when his mother arrived to make her appeal to the king for the return of her house and lands. “My lord the king,” Gehazi called out, “this is the woman, and this is her son that Elisha brought back to life.”
6 Lè wa a te mande fanm nan, li te pale li sa a. Konsa, wa a te chwazi pou li yon sèten ofisye, e li te di: “Restore a li menm tout sa ki te pou li, ak tout pwodwi a chan li soti jou ke li te kite tè a jis rive koulye a.”
The king asked the woman about it and she explained the whole story to him. The king gave orders to an official, saying, “Make sure everything that belonged to her is returned to her, together with all the profit from her lands from the day that she left the country until now.”
7 Konsa, Élisée te vin Damas. Alò, Ben-Hadad, wa Syrie a, te malad. Yo te di li: “Nonm Bondye a gen tan rive isit la.”
Elisha went to Damascus when Ben-hadad king of Aram was ill. The king was informed, “The man of God has arrived in town.”
8 Wa a te di a Hazaël: “Pran yon kado nan men ou pou ale rankontre nonm Bondye a, e mande a SENYÈ a selon li menm. Mande l: ‘Èske mwen va refè de maladi sa a?’”
The king ordered Hazael, “Take a gift with you and go and meet the man of God. Ask him to ask the Lord, ‘Will I recover from this illness?’”
9 Konsa, Hazaël te ale rankontre li avèk yon kado nan men l, menm de tout kalite bon bagay Damas, pote sou karant chaj chamo. Li te vin rive kanpe devan li e te di: “Fis ou Ben-Hadad, wa Syrie a, te voye mwen kote ou. Li te vle m mande pou li: ‘Èske mwen va refè de maladi sa a?’”
So Hazael went to meet Elisha. He took with him a gift of all the best things from Damascus—forty camel-loads of goods. He came in and stood before him and said, “Your son Ben-hadad, king of Aram, has sent me to you to ask, ‘Will I recover from this illness?’”
10 Alò, Élisée te di li: “Ale pale li konsa, ‘Ou va asireman refè;’ men SENYÈ a te montre mwen ke byensi, l ap mouri.’”
“Go and tell him, ‘You will definitely recover.’ But the Lord has shown me that definitely he is going to die,” Elisha replied.
11 Li te gade l byen fiks, jiskaske li te wont. Epi nonm Bondye a te kriye.
Elisha stared at him for a long time until Hazael became uncomfortable. Then the man of God started to cry.
12 Hazaël te di: “Poukisa mèt mwen ap kriye a?” Alò, li te reponn: “Paske mwen konnen mal la ke ou va fè a fis Israël yo: Fòterès ke ou va brile ak jennonm pa yo ke ou va touye avèk nepe, pitit pa yo ke ou va kraze an mòso ak fanm gwo vant yo ke ou va chire nèt.”
“Why are you crying, my lord?” asked Hazael. “Because I know the evil things you are going to do to the Israelites,” Elisha replied. “You will set their fortresses on fire, kill their young men with the sword, dash to pieces their little ones, and rip open their pregnant women.”
13 Epi Hazaël te di li: “Men kisa sèvitè ou ye? Yon chen ki ta fè gwo bagay sa a?” Élisée te reponn: “SENYÈ a te montre mwen ke ou va wa sou Syrie.”
“But how could someone like me who's just a ‘dog’ achieve anything like that?” Hazael asked. “The Lord has shown me that you are going to be the king of Aram,” Elisha replied.
14 Konsa, li te pati kite Élisée pou te retounen kote mèt li, ki te mande l: “Se kisa ke Élisée te di ou?” Epi li te reponn: “Li te di mwen ke ou ta asireman vin refè.”
Hazael left Elisha and went to his master, who asked him, “What did Elisha tell you?” Hazael replied, “He told me you would definitely recover.”
15 Nan jou swivan an, li te pran yon gwo kouvèti a, li te fonse l nan dlo e li te ouvri li sou figi li, jiskaske wa a te mouri. Konsa, Hazaël te vin wa nan plas li.
But the following day Hazael took the bed cover, soaked it in water, and spread it over the king's face until he died. Then Hazael took over from him as king.
16 Alò, nan senkyèm ane Joram, fis a Achab la, wa Israël la, pandan Josaphat te wa Juda, Joram, fis Josaphat la, wa Juda, te devni wa.
Jehoram, son of Jehoshaphat, began his reign as king of Judah in the fifth year of the reign of Joram, son of Ahab, king of Israel, while Jehoshaphat was still king of Judah.
17 Li te gen laj a trann-dezan lè li te devni wa, e li te renye uitan nan Jérusalem.
He was thirty-two when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for eight years.
18 Li te mache nan chemen a wa Israël yo, jis jan ke lakay Achab te fè a, paske fi Achab la te devni madanm li. Li te fè mal nan zye SENYÈ a.
Jehoram followed the ways of the kings of Israel, just as the house of Ahab had done, for he married a daughter of Ahab and did what was evil in the Lord's sight.
19 Sepandan, SENYÈ a pa t gen volonte pou detwi Juda, pou koz David, sèvitè li a, paske li te pwomèt li pou ba li toujou yon lanp a li menm pa fis li yo pou tout tan.
But for the sake of David his servant the Lord didn't want to destroy Judah since he had promised him that there would always be a ruler from his descendants, like a lamp forever.
20 Nan jou pa li yo, Édom te fè rebèl soti anba men Juda e yo te fè yon wa sou pwòp tèt pa yo.
During Jehoram's time as king, Edom rebelled against Judah's rule and chose their own king.
21 Epi Joram te travèse kote Tsaïr e tout cha li yo avèk li. Li te leve nan lannwit pou te frape Edomit ki te antoure li avèk kapitèn a cha yo, men lame pa li a te sove ale rive nan tant pa yo.
So Jehoram went over to Zair with all his chariots. The Edomites surrounded him and his chariot commanders, but he took action and attacked at night. But his army ran back to their homes.
22 Konsa, Édom te fè rebèl kont Juda jis rive jodi a. Alò, Libna te revòlte nan menm lè a.
As a result Edom has been in rebellion against Judah's rule to this day. At the same time Libnah also decided to rebel.
23 Tout lòt zèv a Joram yo avèk tout sa ke li te fè yo, èske yo pa ekri nan Liv Kwonik a wa a Juda yo?
The rest of what happened in Jehoram's reign and all that he did are recorded in the Book of Chronicles of the Kings of Judah.
24 Konsa, Joram te dòmi avèk zansèt li yo e li te antere avèk zansèt li yo nan vil David la. Epi Achazia te devni wa nan plas li.
Jehoram died and was buried with his forefathers in the City of David. His son Ahaziah succeeded him as king.
25 Nan douzyèm ane Joram, fis a Achab la, wa Israël, Achazia, fis a Joram nan te kòmanse renye.
Ahaziah, son of Jehoram, became king of Judah in the twelfth year of the reign of Joram, son of Ahab, king of Israel.
26 Achazia te gen venn-dezan lè l te devni wa e li te renye yon ane nan Jérusalem. Manman li te rele Athalie, pitit a pitit Omri, wa Israël la.
Ahaziah was twenty-two when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem for one year. His mother's name was Athaliah, the granddaughter of Omri, king of Israel.
27 Achazia te mache nan chemen lakay Achab e te fè mal nan zye SENYÈ a tankou lakay Achab, akoz se te bofis a lakay Achab.
Ahaziah also followed the evil ways of the family of Ahab, and did what was evil in the Lord's sight as the family of Ahab had done, for he was related to them by marriage.
28 Alò, li te ale avèk Joram, fis a Achab la pou fè lagè kont Hazaël, wa Syrie a nan Ramoth-Galaad e Siryen yo te blese Joram.
Ahaziah went with Joram, son of Ahab, to fight against Hazael, king of Aram, at Ramoth-gilead. The Arameans wounded Joram,
29 Konsa, Wa Joram te retounen nan Jizréel pou geri akoz blesi ke Siryen yo te ba li nan Rama a lè li te goumen kont Hazaël, wa Syrie a. Epi Achazia, fis a Joram nan, wa Juda a, te desann wè Joram, fis Achab la nan Jizréel akoz li te malad la.
and he returned to Jezreel to recover from the wounds he'd received in Ramah fighting against Hazael king of Aram. Ahaziah, son of Jehoram, king of Judah, went to Jezreel to visit Joram, son of Ahab, because Joram was wounded.
