2 Kings 2
1 And it came to pass, when the Lord would take up Elias into heaven by a whirlwind, that Elias and Eliseus were going from Galgal.
Lè a te rive pou Seyè a te fè Eli moute nan syèl nan yon toubouyon. Eli ak Elize pati ansanm, yo kite lavil Gilgal.
2 And Elias said to Eliseus: Stay thou here, because the Lord hath sent me as far as Bethel. And Eliseus said to him: As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And when they were come down to Bethel,
Eli di Elize konsa: —Ou mèt rete isit la tande, paske Seyè a ban m' lòd pou m' al Betèl. Men, Elize reponn li: —Mwen pran ou menm ansanm ak Seyè ki vivan an pou temwen, mwen p'ap kite ou ale pou kont ou. Se konsa yo pati ansanm pou lavil Betèl.
3 The sons of the prophets, that were at Bethel, came forth to Eliseus, and said to him: Dost thou know that this day the Lord will take away thy master from thee? And he answered: I also know it: hold your peace.
Men, yon gwoup pwofèt ki te rive lavil Betèl vin kontre Elize, yo di l' konsa: —Ou pa konnen Seyè a pral pran mèt ou a jòdi a? Elize reponn yo: —Mwen konn sa wi. Men nou menm, nou pa bezwen di anyen ankò!
4 And Elias said to Eliseus: Stay here because the Lord hath sent me to Jericho. And he said: As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And when they were come to Jericho,
Apre sa, Eli di Elize: —Koulye a ou mèt rete isit la tande, paske Seyè a te ban m' lòd pou m' al Jeriko. Men, Elize reponn li: —Mwen pran ou menm ansanm ak Seyè ki vivan an pou temwen, mwen p'ap kite ou ale pou kont ou. Se konsa yo pati ansanm pou lavil Jeriko.
5 The sons of the prophets that were at Jericho, came to Eliseus, and said to him: Dost thou know that this day the Lord will take away thy master from thee? And he said: I also know it: hold your peace.
Yon gwoup pwofèt ki te rete lavil Jeriko vin kontre Elize, yo di l' konsa: —Ou pa konnen Seyè a pral pran mèt ou a jòdi a? Elize reponn: —Mwen konn sa wi! Men nou menm, nou pa bezwen di anyen ankò.
6 And Elias said to him: Stay here, because the Lord hath sent me as far as the Jordan. And he said: As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee; and they two went on together,
Apre sa, Eli di Elize: —Koulye a ou mèt rete isit la tande, paske Seyè a ban m' lòd pou m' al bò larivyè Jouden. Men, Elize reponn li: —Mwen pran ou menm ansanm ak Seyè ki vivan an pou temwen, mwen p'ap kite ou ale pou kont ou. Se konsa yo pati ansanm ankò.
7 And fifty men of the sons of the prophets followed them, and stood in sight at a distance: but they two stood by the Jordan.
Senkant nan pwofèt Jeriko yo t'ap mache dèyè yo. Eli ak Elize rete bò larivyè Jouden an. Senkant pwofèt yo menm rete yon ti distans lwen yo.
8 And Elias took his mantle and folded it together, and struck the waters, and they were divided hither and thither, and they both passed over on dry ground.
Eli wete gwo rad ki te sou li a, li woule l', li frape dlo a avè l'. Dlo a fann de bò. Eli ak Elize janbe lòt bò larivyè a san pye yo pa mouye.
9 And when they were gone over, Elias said to Eliseus: Ask what thou wilt have me to do for thee, before I be taken away from thee. And Eliseus said: I beseech thee that in me may be thy double spirit.
Lè yo fin janbe, Eli di Elize konsa: —Di m' kisa ou ta vle m' fè pou ou anvan Bondye pran m'. Elize reponn li: —Mwen ta renmen resevwa yon pòsyon doub nan lespri ki sou ou a.
10 And he answered: Thou hast asked a hard thing: nevertheless if thou see me when I am taken from thee, thou shalt have what thou hast asked: but if thou see me not, thou shalt not have it.
Eli di li: —Sa ou mande m' la a pa fasil. Men, si ou wè m' ak je ou lè m'ap kite ou la, w'ap jwenn sa ou mande a. Men, si ou pa wè m', w'a konnen ou p'ap jwenn li.
11 And as they went on, walking and talking together, behold a fiery chariot, and fiery horses parted them both asunder: and Elias went up by a whirlwind into heaven.
Yo t'ap mache ansanm, yo t'ap pale yonn ak lòt lè yon cha dife ak chwal dife vin nan mitan yo. Epi li pote Eli moute nan syèl nan yon gwo toubouyon.
12 And Eliseus saw him, and cried: My father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the driver thereof. And he saw him no more: and he took hold of his own garments, and rent them in two pieces.
Lè Elize wè sa, li rele Eli, li di: —Papa mwen! papa mwen! Ou menm ki te tankou yon gwo lame pou pran defans peyi Izrayèl la, ou ale! Epi li pa wè Eli ankò. Yon sèl lapenn pran Elize, li chire rad ki te sou li a fè de moso.
13 And he took up the mantle of Elias, that fell from him: and going back, he stood upon the bank of the Jordan,
Lèfini, li ranmase gwo rad ki te soti sou zepòl Eli tonbe atè a, epi li tounen. Rive bò larivyè Jouden an li kanpe.
14 And he struck the waters with the mantle of Elias, that had fallen from him, and they were not divided. And he said: Where is now the God of Elias? And he struck the waters, and they were divided, hither and thither, and Eliseus passed over.
Li frape dlo a ak rad ki te soti sou zepòl Eli a, epi li di byen fò: —Kote Seyè a, Bondye Eli a? Li frape dlo a yon dezyèm fwa ak rad Eli a. Dlo a fann de bò. Elize janbe lòt bò larivyè a.
15 And the sons of the prophets at Jericho, who were over against him, seeing it said: The spirit of Elias hath rested upon Eliseus. And coming to meet him, they worshipped him, falling to the ground,
Lè pwofèt Jeriko yo ki te pi devan an wè sa, yo di: —Lespri Eli a sou Elize! Yo vin jwenn li, yo bese tèt yo jouk atè devan l'.
16 And they said to him: Behold, there are with thy servants fifty strong men, that can go, and seek thy master, lest perhaps the spirit of the Lord hath taken him up and cast him upon some mountain or into some valley. And he said: Do not send.
Yo di li: —Koute. Gen senkant nan nou la a. Nou tout se vanyan gason. Kite n' al chache mèt ou a. Ou pa janm konnen. Lespri Bondye a ka pran l' al lage sou yon mòn osinon nan yon fon. Men, Elize di yo: —Non. Pa voye pesonn dèyè l'.
17 But they pressed him, till he consented, and said: Send. And they sent fifty men: and they sought three days but found him not.
Men yo kenbe la avè l' jouk li di yo: —Bon. Nou mèt ale! Se konsa yo voye senkant moun yo al chache Eli. Yo pase twa jou ap chache, yo pa jwenn li.
18 And they came back to him: for he abode at Jericho, and he said to them: Did I not say to you: Do not send?
Yo tounen al jwenn Elize ki te rete ap tann yo lavil Jeriko. Elize di yo: —Mwen pa t' di nou nou pa t' bezwen ale!
19 And the men of the city said to Eliseus: Behold the situation of this city is very good, as thou, my lord, seest: but the waters are very bad, and the ground barren.
Moun lavil Jeriko yo vin di Elize: —Mèt, lavil la bati nan yon bon pozisyon, jan ou ka wè l' la. Men, dlo a pa bon, li fè tè a pa bay anyen.
20 And he said: Bring me a new vessel, and put salt into it. And when they had brought it,
Elize di yo: —Pote ti gout sèl nan yon bòl tou nèf ban mwen! Yo pote veso sèl la bay Elize.
21 He went out to the spring of the waters, and cast the salt into it, and said: Thus saith the Lord: I have healed these waters, and there shall be no more in them death or barrenness.
Elize moute nan sous la, li voye sèl jete nan dlo a. Lèfini, li di: —Men sa Seyè a di: M'ap netwaye dlo sa a. Li p'ap janm touye moun ankò, ni li p'ap fè tè a rete san donnen anyen.
22 And the waters were healed unto this day, according to the word of Eliseus, which he spoke.
Depi lè sa a dlo a vin bon jouk jounen jòdi a, jan Elize te di l' la.
23 And he went up from thence to Bethel: and as he was going up by the way, little boys came out of the city and mocked him, saying: Go up, thou bald head; go up, thou bald head.
Elize kite lavil Jeriko, l' ale lavil Betèl. Li t'ap mache sou chemen an konsa, lè yon bann ti gason soti lavil la, yo pran pase l' nan betiz, yo t'ap rele: —Al fè wout ou, tèt chòv! Al fè wout ou, tèt chòv!
24 And looking back, he saw them, and cursed them in the name of the Lord: and there came forth two bears out of the forest, and tore of them two and forty boys.
Elize vire, li gade ti gason yo, li ba yo madichon nan non Seyè a. Lamenm, de lous soti nan rakbwa a, yo dechire karannde nan ti gason yo.
25 And from thence he went to mount Carmel, and from thence he returned to Samaria.
Apre sa, Elize ale mòn Kamèl. Lèfini li tounen lavil Samari.
