2 Wa 7

1 Elize reponn li: —Koute sa Seyè a voye di ou: Denmen, vè lè sa a, nan pòtay lavil Samari a, moun pral achte dis liv bon farin frans osinon ven liv lòj pou yon grenn pyès ajan.

Elisha said, "Hear the word of Jehovah. Thus says Jehovah, '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 Gadkò wa a reponn pwofèt la, li di l': —Seyè a ta mèt louvri syèl la pou voye bagay sa yo, sa ou di a pa ka fèt. Elize di li: —Ou wè ou menm, w'ap wè sa rive ak pwòp je ou, men ou p'ap gen chans manje ladan l'!

Then the captain on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God, and said, "Look, if Jehovah made windows in heaven, could this thing be?" He said, "Look, you shall see it with your eyes, but shall not eat of it."

3 Bò pòtay lavil Samari a, te gen kat gason ki te gen move maladi po. Yonn di lòt konsa: —Poukisa pou n' rete isit la ap tann lanmò?

Now there were four leprous men at the entrance of the gate. And they said to one another, "Why do we sit here until we die?

4 Si nou di n'ap antre lavil la, avèk grangou ki gen la a, n'ap mouri. Si nou di n'ap rete isit la, n'ap mouri tou. Pito n' al pran yon chans nan kan lame Siri a. Si yo fè pa nou, n'a viv. Men, si yo touye nou, n'a tou mouri mouri nou.

If we say, 'We will enter into the city,' then the famine is in the city, and we shall die there. If we sit still here, we also die. Now therefore come, and let us surrender to the army of the Arameans. If they save us alive, we will live; and if they kill us, we will only die."

5 Se konsa, solèy te fèk kouche lè mesye yo leve, yo pati pou kan lame Siri a. Lè yo rive toupre kan an, yo pa wè pesonn.

They rose up in the twilight, to go to the camp of the Arameans. When they had come to the outermost part of the camp of the Arameans, look, there was no man there.

6 Seyè a te fè sòlda lame Siri yo tande yon bann bri, ou ta di yon pakèt cha lagè, kavalye sou chwal ak yon gwo lame k'ap mache vini sou yo. Tout sòlda peyi Siri yo te konprann se wa peyi Izrayèl la ki te pran kontak ak wa peyi Et la ansanm ak wa peyi Lejip la pou vin atake yo.

For Jehovah had made the army of the Arameans to hear a noise of chariots, and a noise of horses, even the noise of a great army: and they said one to another, Look, the king of Israel has hired against us the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of the Egyptians, to come on us.

7 Se konsa, solèy te fèk kouche jou sa a lè yo leve yo kouri met deyò. Yo kite tant yo, chwal yo, bourik yo. Yo chape kò yo kite kan an jan l' te ye a.

Therefore they arose and fled in the twilight, and left their tents, and their horses, and their donkeys, even the camp as it was, and fled for their life.

8 Lè kat mesye yo rive nan kan an, yo antre nan yon premye tant, yo manje, yo bwè. Yo pase men yo pran lò, ajan, rad yo jwenn, yo soti al sere yo. Lèfini, yo tounen, yo antre nan yon dezyèm tant, yo fè menm bagay la.

When these lepers came to the outermost part of the camp, they went into one tent, and ate and drink, and carried there silver, and gold, and clothing, and went and hid it. Then they came back, and entered into another tent, and carried there also, and went and hid it.

9 Men lè sa a, yonn di lòt konsa: —Sa n'ap fè a pa bon non! Nou gen bon nouvèl konsa, nou pa ka kenbe l' pou nou ase. Si nou tann denmen maten pou n' al di moun yo sa, ou mèt sèten y'ap ban nou tò. Pito n' ale koulye a. Ann al bay nouvèl la kay wa a!

Then they said one to another, "We aren't doing right. This day is a day of good news, and we keep silent. If we wait until the morning light, punishment will overtake us. Now therefore come, let us go and tell the king's household."

10 Se konsa, yo tounen lavil Samari, yo rele gad ki t'ap fè pòs nan pòtay lavil la. Yo ba yo nouvèl la, yo di yo: —Nou t al nan kan moun Siri yo. Nou pa jwenn pesonn, nou pa tande pesonn ap pale. Chwal ak bourik sèlman nou jwenn mare nan kòd. Ata tant yo te la jan yo te moute yo.

So they came and called to the gatekeepers of the city; and they told them, saying, "We came to the camp of the Arameans, and, look, there was no man there, neither voice of man, but the horses tied, and the donkeys tied, and the tents as they were."

11 Faksyonnè ki t'ap fè pòs nan pòtay lavil la bay nouvèl la byen fò. Konsa, nouvèl la gaye jouk li rive anndan palè a.

The gatekeepers called out, and it was reported to the king's household within.

12 Se te nan mitan lannwit. Wa a leve sot nan kabann li, li di chèf li yo: —Mwen pral esplike nou sa sòlda peyi Siri yo gen dèyè tèt yo kifè yo fè sa. Yo konnen jan grangou ap bat nou isit la. Yo soti kite kan an, y' al kache nan plenn lan. Yo konprann nou pral soti kite lavil la pou n' al dèyè manje. Lè sa a, y'a tonbe sou nou, y'a pran nou tou vivan, y'a antre nan lavil la.

The king arose in the night, and said to his servants, "I will now show you what the Arameans have done to us. They know that we are 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 take them alive, and get into the city.'"

13 Men, yonn nan chèf li yo di l' konsa: —Poukisa nou pa voye kèk moun ak senk chwal ki rete yo pou y' al wè sa ki pase. Kit yo tounen vivan, kit yo mouri, yo p'ap pi mal ni pi byen pase rès moun Izrayèl yo ki rete isit la. Wè pa wè, y' ap pase tankou sa ki mouri deja yo.

And one of his servants answered, "Please let some take five of the horses that remain, which are left in the city. Look, they are like the whole multitude of Israel who have already perished. Let us send and see."

14 Se konsa yo chwazi kèk moun, wa a voye yo ak de cha lagè pou y' al wè sa ki rive nan kan lame peyi Siri a.

They took therefore two chariots with horses; and the king sent after the army of the Arameans, saying, "Go and see."

15 Mesye yo pati, yo rive jouk bò larivyè Jouden an. Sou tout wout la, yo wè rad ak yon bann lòt bagay sòlda peyi Siri yo te jete lè yo t'ap kouri met deyò a. Yo tounen, yo fè rapò yo bay wa a.

They went after them to the Jordan; and look, all the way was full of garments and vessels, which the Arameans had cast away in their haste. The messengers returned, and told the king.

16 Menm lè a, pèp la kouri soti al piye kan lame peyi Siri yo. Jan Seyè a te di l' la, yo vann dis liv bon farin frans pou yon pyès ajan, ven liv lòj pou menm pri 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, according to the word of Jehovah.

17 Men, wa a te mete chèf gadkò li a ap veye pòtay lavil la. Se konsa pèp la pilonnen l' anba pye yo lè y'ap pase nan pòtay lavil la. Li mouri jan Elize te di l' sa lè wa a te vin wè l' la.

The king appointed the captain on whose hand he leaned to be in charge of the gate: and the people trod 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 Lè sa a, Elize t'ap pale ak wa a li te di l' konsa: Denmen lè konsa, nan pòtay lavil Samari y'ap vann dis liv bon farin frans pou yon pyès ajan ak ven liv lòj pou menm pri a.

It happened, 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 tomorrow about this time in the gate of Samaria";

19 Se konsa chèf gadkò a te di Seyè a te mèt louvri syèl la pou voye bagay sa yo, sa Elize di a pa ka fèt. Elize menm te reponn li, li te di l': Ou wè ou menm, w'ap wè sa rive ak pwòp je ou, men ou p'ap gen chans manje ladan l'.

and that captain answered the man of God, and said, "Now, look, if Jehovah should make windows in heaven, might such a thing be?" and he said, "Look, you shall see it with your eyes, but shall not eat of it."

20 Se sa menm ki rive l'. Li mouri pilonnen anba pye pèp la lè y'ap pase nan pòtay lavil la.

It happened like that to him; for the people trod on him in the gate, and he died.
