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.”

Now, Elisha, had spoken unto the woman whose son he had restored to life, saying—Arise, and take thy journey, thou and thy household, and sojourn wheresoever thou canst sojourn, for Yahweh hath called for a famine, moreover also, it is coming upon the land 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.

So the woman arose, and did according to the word of the man of God, —and took her journey, she and her household, and she sojourned in the land of the Philistines, seven years.

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.

And it came to pass, at the end of seven years, that the woman returned out of the land of the Philistines, —and she went forth to make outcry unto the king, concerning her house and concerning her field.

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.”

Now, the king, was speaking unto Gehazi, servant of the man of God, saying, Do recount unto me, I pray thee, all the great things that Elisha hath done.

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.”

And so it was, just as he was recounting to the king how he had restored the dead to life, lo! the woman whose son he had restored to life, began making outcry unto the king, for her house and for her field. Then said Gehazi, My lord, O king! this, is the woman, and, this, her son, whom, Elisha, restored 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.”

So the king asked the woman, and she recounted it to him, —the king, therefore, appointed her a certain officer, saying—Restore all that was hers, and all the increase of the field, from the day she left the land, even 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.”

And Elisha came into Damascus, when Ben-hadad king of Syria, was sick, —and it was told him, saying, The man of God hath come as far as this place.

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?’”

So the king said unto Hazael—Take in thy hand a present, and go to meet the man of God, —so shalt thou enquire of Yahweh, from him, saying, Shall I recover from this sickness?

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 him, and took a present in his hand, even every good thing of Damascus, forty camels’ burden, —and came, and stood before him, and said—Thy son, Ben-hadad king of Syria, hath sent me unto thee, saying, Shall I recover from this sickness?

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.’”

And Elisha said unto him, Go, say to him, Thou shalt, recover; And yet Yahweh hath shown me, that he will, die.

11 Li te gade l byen fiks, jiskaske li te wont. Epi nonm Bondye a te kriye.

And he settled his countenance, and fixed it until he turned pale, —and the man of God, wept.

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.”

Then said Hazael, Why, is my lord, weeping? And he said—Because I know what thou wilt do to the sons of Israel, by way of harm—Their fortresses, thou wilt set on fire, and, their choice young men, with the sword, thou wilt slay, and, their children, thou wilt dash in pieces, and, their women with child, thou wilt rip up.

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.”

And Hazael said, But what is thy servant—the dog—that he should do this great thing? And Elisha said, Yahweh hath shown thee unto me, as king over Syria.

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.”

So he departed from Elisha, and came in unto his lord, who said to him, What said, Elisha, unto thee? And he said. He told me thou wouldst, 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 it came to pass on the morrow, that he took the coverlet, and dipped it in water, and spread it over his face, that he died, —and, Hazael, reigned, in his stead.

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.

Now, in the fifth year of Joram son of Ahab, king of Israel, Jehoshaphat, having been king of Judah, Jehoram, son of Jehoshaphat king of Judah, began to reign.

17 Li te gen laj a trann-dezan lè li te devni wa, e li te renye uitan nan Jérusalem.

Thirty-two years old, was he when he began to reign, and, eight years, reigned, he in Jerusalem.

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.

And he walked in the way of the kings of Israel, just as did the house of Ahab, for, a daughter of Ahab, became his wife, —and he did the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh.

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.

Yet was not Yahweh willing to destroy Judah, for the sake of David his servant, —even as he promised him to give him a lamp for his sons all the days.

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.

In his days, did Edom revolt from under the hand of Judah, —and they set over them a 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 Joram passed over to Zair, and all the chariots with him, —and it came to pass that, he, arising by night, smote the Edomites that were round about unto him, and the captains of the chariots, and the people fled to their homes,

22 Konsa, Édom te fè rebèl kont Juda jis rive jodi a. Alò, Libna te revòlte nan menm lè a.

Yet did Edom revolt from under the hand of Judah, unto this day, —then, revolted Libnah, at the same time.

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?

Now, the rest of the story of Joram, and all that he did, are, they, not written in the book of the 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.

And Joram slept with his fathers, and was buried with his fathers, in the city of David, —and, Ahaziah his son, reigned, in his stead.

25 Nan douzyèm ane Joram, fis a Achab la, wa Israël, Achazia, fis a Joram nan te kòmanse renye.

In the twelfth year of Joram son of Ahab king of Israel, did Ahaziah son of Jehoram king of Judah, begin to reign.

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.

Two and twenty years old, was Ahaziah when he began to reign, —and, one year, reigned he in Jerusalem, —and, his mother’s name, was Athaliah, daughter 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.

And he walked in the way of the house of Ahab, and did the thing that was wicked in the eyes of Yahweh, like the house of Ahab, —for, son-in-law of the house of Ahab, was, he.

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.

And he went with Joram son of Ahab, to make war against Hazael king of Syria, in Ramoth-gilead, —and the Syrians 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.

So Joram the king returned to get healed in Jezreel, from the wounds wherewith the Syrians had wounded him in Ramah, when he fought with Hazael king of Syria, —and, Ahaziah son of Jehoram king of Judah, went down to see Joram son of Ahab in Jezreel, because he, was sick.
