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.
Li te vin rive lè SENYÈ a te prèt pou ranmase Élie monte nan syèl nan yon van toubiyon, ke Élie te ale avèk Élisée sòti Guilgal.
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,
Epi li te rive ke Élie te di a Élisée: “Rete isit la, souple; paske SENYÈ a te voye mwen jis Béthel.” Men Élisée te di: “Jan SENYÈ a viv la e jan ou menm viv la, mwen p ap kite ou.” Konsa, yo te desann Béthel.
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.
Alò, fis a pwofèt ki te Béthel yo te vin sòti kote Élisée e te di li: “Èske ou konnen ke SENYÈ a va pran mèt ou a soti anwo ou jodi a?” Konsa, li te di: “Wi, mwen konnen. Pa pale!”
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,
Élie te di li: “Élisée, souple, rete isit la, paske SENYÈ a te voye mwen Jéricho.” Men li te di: “Jan SENYÈ a viv la, mwen p ap kite ou”. Konsa, yo te vini Jéricho.
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.
Fis a pwofèt ki te Jéricho yo te vin kote Élisée e te di li: “Èske ou konnen ke SENYÈ a va retire mèt ou a soti anwo ou jodi a?” Li te reponn: “Wi, mwen konnen; pa pale.”
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,
Konsa, Élie te di li: “Souple, rete isit la, paske SENYÈ a te voye mwen nan Jourdain an.” Li te reponn: “Jan Senyè a viv la e jan ou menm viv la, mwen p ap kite ou.” Konsa yo de a te avanse.
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.
Alò senkant mesye nan fis a pwofèt yo te ale kanpe anfas yo nan yon distans, pandan yo de a te kanpe akote Jourdain an.
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.
Élie te pran manto li, li te pliye li ansanm, li te frape dlo yo e yo te vin divize isit e la, jiskaske yo de a te travèse sou tè sèch.
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 te fin travèse, Élie te di a Élisée: “Mande sa ke m ta fè pou ou avan mwen retire m de ou.” Konsa, Élisée te di: “Souple, kite yon pòsyon doub nan lespri ou a rete sou mwen.”
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.
Li te di: “Ou te mande yon bagay ki difisil. Si ou wè m lè m retire kite ou, se konsa l ap ye pou ou; men si se pa sa, sa p ap fèt.”
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.
Pandan yo t ap fè wout yo e t ap prale, men vwala, yon cha dife avèk cheval dife te separe yo de a. Konsa, Élie te monte nan yon toubiyon nan syèl la.
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.
Élisée te wè e te kriye fò: “Papa m, papa m, cha Israël yo avèk chevalye li yo!” Epi li pa t wè Élie ankò. Alò, li te kenbe rad li e te chire li an de bout.
13 And he took up the mantle of Elias, that fell from him: and going back, he stood upon the bank of the Jordan,
Anplis, li te pran manto Élie ki te sòti tonbe de li, lè l t ap prale a, e li te retounen kanpe akote rebò larivyè Jourdain an.
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 te pran manto Élie ki te tonbe de li menm nan, e li te frape dlo yo e te di: “Kote SENYÈ a, Bondye Élie a?” Epi lè l te frape dlo a ankò, yo te divize isit e la, epi Élisée te travèse rive lòtbò.
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,
Alò, lè fis a pwofèt ki te Jéricho yo te wè li, yo te di: “Lespri Élie a poze sou Élisée.” Epi yo te vin rankontre li e te bese yo menm atè devan li.
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 te di li: “Men vwala, genyen avèk ou senkant sèvitè ak gwo fòs, souple, kite yo ale chache mèt ou a. Petèt lespri a SENYÈ a te pran li e te jete li sou yon mòn, oswa nan yon vale.” Li te di: “Ou p ap voye yo.”
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 lè yo te bourade li jiskaske li te wont, li te di yo: “Voye yo”. Konsa, yo te voye senkant mesye. Yo te chache pandan twa jou, men yo pa t 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 te retounen kote li pandan li te rete Jéricho a. Li te di yo: “Èske mwen pa t di nou ‘Pa 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.
Konsa, mesye lavil yo te di a Élisée: “Gade byen koulye a, sikonstans vil sa a byen bon, jan mèt mwen konn wè a; men dlo a pa bon e tè a pa pwodwi anyen.”
20 And he said: Bring me a new vessel, and put salt into it. And when they had brought it,
Li te di: “Mennen ban m yon veso nèf e mete sèl ladann.” Konsa, yo te mennen ba li.
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.
Li te ale nan sous dlo a. Li te jete sèl la ladann e te di: “Konsa pale SENYÈ a: ‘Mwen te pirifye dlo sa yo! P ap gen lanmò ni move tè a ankò.’”
22 And the waters were healed unto this day, according to the word of Eliseus, which he spoke.
Konsa, dlo yo rete bon jis jodi a, selon pawòl Élisée te pale a.
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.
Alò, soti la, li te monte Béthel. Pandan li t ap monte nan chemen an, jenn gason yo te sòti deyò soti lavil la. Yo te moke li e te di li: “Ale monte, tèt chòv! Ale monte, 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.
Lè li te gade dèyè li pou l te wè yo, li te modi yo nan non SENYÈ a. Konsa, de lous femèl te sòti nan forè a, e te chire karann-de nan jenn gason pami yo.
25 And from thence he went to mount Carmel, and from thence he returned to Samaria.
Li te kite la pou rive Mòn Carmel, e soti la, li te rive Samarie.
