2 Hina 4

1 Balofede gilisisu amoga balofede afae ea uda didalo da Ilaisiama asili, amane sia: i, “Hina! Nagoa da bogoi. Di da dawa: ! E da Godema nabasu dunu galu. Be wali, dunu afae amo nagoa ea lai dabe amo dabe lamusa: da na dunu mano aduna amo ea udigili hawa: hamoma: ne, amo lala misi dagoi.”

One day the widow of one of [Yahweh’s] prophets came to Elisha and cried out to him, “My husband, who worked with you, is dead. You know that he revered Yahweh [very much]. But now a man to whom he owed a lot of money has come to me. [And because I cannot pay back the money, he is threatening] to take away my two sons to be his slaves [as payment for what I owe him]!”

2 Ilaisia da bu adole ba: i, “Na da di fidima: ne, adi hamoma: bela: ? Dia diasuga da adi liligi ganabela: ?” E bu adole i, “Na da liligi hamedafa gala. Be na da olife susuligi disu osoboga hamoi ofodo afae fawane gala.”

Elisha replied, “What can I do to help you? Tell me, what do you have in your house?” She replied, “We have only a container of [olive] oil; we have nothing else.”

3 Ilaisia da ema amane sia: i, “Di da dia na: iyado fi dunu ilima asili, ilima osoboga hamoi ofodo hame di gilisidafa, amo da ilima fa: no imunusa: lidila masa.

Elisha said, “Go to your neighbors and borrow from them as many empty jars as you can.

4 Amalu, di amola dia mano, dilia da diasu gelabo ganodini sa: ili, logo ga: sili, muni olife susuligi osoboga hamoi ofodo amo nabama: ne, sogasasalima. Afae afae da nabai ba: sea, hisu ligiagagama.”

Then take the jars into your house with your sons. Shut the door. Then pour olive oil from your container into the other jars. When each jar is full, set it aside [and fill another jar. Keep doing that until all the jars are full].”

5 Amaiba: le, didalo amola ea mano ilia diasu ganodini sa: ili, logo ga: silalu, olife susuligi osoboga hamoi ofodo fonobahadiga di, amo lale, ea mano da ema gaguli manu, eme da osoboga hamoi ofodo boboga amo gelaba sogasasali.

[So she did what Elisha told her to do]. Her sons kept bringing jars to her, and she kept filling them.

6 Huluane da nabaiba: le, eme da ea manoma eno ganabela: le adole ba: i. Ea mano afae da amane adole i, “Amo fawane galu! Eno hame!” Amalalu, olife susuligi sogasalalu da ebelei ba: i.

Soon all the jars were full. So she said to one of her sons, “Bring me another jar!” But he replied, “There are no more jars!” And then the olive oil stopped flowing.

7 Didalo da balofede dunu Ilaisiama bu asili, Ilaisia da ema amane sia: i, “Olife susuligi di da bidi lale, dia lai dabe hame i dialebe, amo ima! Amalu, fa: no di da bidi di amola dia mano dilia lamu defele dialebe ba: mu.”

When she told Elijah [what had happened], he said to her, “Now sell the jars of oil. And [with the money you get, ] pay what you owe, and there will be enough extra money to keep buying food for yourself and your sons.” [So she did that].

8 Eso afaega, Ilaisia da Siuneme moilaiga asili, amoga esalebe bagade gagui uda ba: i. Bagade gagui uda da Ilaisia ha: i manusa: hiougi. Amalalu, e da eso huluane Siuneme moilaia ahoanoba, e da ea diasua fawane ha: i nafufusu.

One day Elisha went to Shunem [town]. There was a wealthy woman who lived there [with her husband]. One day she invited Elisha to her house for a meal. [Elisha went there and] from then on, every time Elisha was in Shunem, he went to their house to eat a meal.

9 Bagade gagui uda da egoama amane sia: i, “Na dawa: , amo dunu ania diasua momafunanebe, amo da Gode Ea hadigi dunu.

One day the woman said to her husband, “I am sure that this man who often comes here is a prophet [who brings messages] from God.

10 Ania da diasu da: iya gadodi fonobahadi sesene, amogai diaheda: su ligisili amola dedesu fisu fafale, amola fila heda: su fafale, amola amo ganodini gamali bugisimu. E da habogala anima masea, e da amogai esalusu hamoma: mu.”

I think we should make a small room for him on our [flat] roof, and put a bed, a table, a chair, and a lamp in it. If we do that, whenever he comes here, he will have a place to stay.” [So they did that].

11 Eso afaega Ilaisia da Siunemega buhagili, ea sesei amoga helefimusa: heda: i.

One day Elisha returned to Shunem, and he went up to that room to rest.

12 E da ea hawa: hamosu dunu Gihaisai, amo bagade gagui uda amo ema misa: ne sia: ma: ne asunasi. Uda da ema doaga: loba,

He said to his servant Gehazi, “Tell the woman that I want to speak to her.” [So the servant went and told her]. When she came [to the doorway of Elisha’s room],

13 Ilaisia da Gihaisaima amane sia: i, “E da ninia hanaidafa huluane noga: le i. Amo dabe agoane, ania da e habodane fidima: bela: ? Amabela: ? Na da hina bagade o dadi gagui wa: i ouligisu amoma ea hou nodone olelema: ne masa: bela: ?” Be uda da bu adole i, “Na da wali esaloma: ne liligi defele da na fidafa amo ganodini diala. Na da defeawane esala!”

Elisha said to Gehazi, “Tell her that we both appreciate all the kind things that she has done for us. Then ask her what we can do for her. Ask, ‘Do you want [me to go to] the king or the army commander, to request something for you?’” [Gehazi told her, ] and she replied, “No, [he does not need to do that, because] my family/relatives are able to give me what I need.”

14 Ilaisia da Gihaisaima amane adole ba: i, “Amaiba: le, na da e fidima: ne adi hamoma: bela: ?” E da bu adole i, “E da egefe hame. Amola egoa da da: i hamoi.”

[Later, ] Elisha asked Gehazi, “What do you think that we can do for that woman?” He replied, “She does not have a son, and her husband is an old man. [So maybe we should ask Yahweh to enable her to have a son].”

15 Ilaisia da amane sia: i, “E guiguda: misa: ne sia: ma!” Didalo da misini, logo holeiga aligi.

Elisha told Gehazi, “Call her back again.” [So Gehazi went and called her]. And when the woman returned, as she stood in the doorway,

16 Ilaisia da ema amane sia: i, “Ode enoga wali wewaba, di da dunu mano ouga: mu.” E fofogadigili amane sia: i, “Ae! Agoane mae ogogoma! Bai di da Gode Ea dunu.”

Elisha said to her, “About this time next year you will be holding your [infant] son in your arms.” But she protested, “O, sir, you are a prophet [who brings messages] from God, so please do not deceive/lie to me by saying things like that!”

17 Be Ilaisia ea sia: i defele, ode enoga amo galuwane, e da dunu mano lalelegei.

But a few months later, the woman became pregnant, and she gave birth to a son at that time the following year, just like Elisha had predicted.

18 Ode bobaligila asili fa: no, bugi gamisu esoga, amo dunu mano ha afaega hahabe, edala hawa: hamomusa: asi. Eda da bugi gamisu hawa: hamosu dunu ili bisili hawa: hamonanu.

When the child was older, one day he went out to the fields to see his father, who was [working] with the men who were harvesting [grain].

19 Hedololewane, e da edama amane wele sia: i, “Na dialuma sebe! Na dialuma sebe!” Eda da ea hawa: hamosu dunuma amane sia: i, “Amo mano emema ouga: ne gaguli masa.”

[Suddenly] the boy exclaimed, “My head [hurts]! My head [hurts a lot]!” His father said to one of the servants, “Carry him home to his mother!”

20 Hawa: hamosu dunu da ea: mema ouga: ne gaguli asi. Ea: me da e emo da: iya fei dialobawane esomogoa doaga: loba, mano da bogoi

So the servant carried him home, and his mother held him on her lap. But at noontime the boy died.

21 Eme da mano ouga: ne heda: le, Ilaisia ea sesei amo ganodini ea diaheda: su da: iya ligisi. Amalu, asili logo ga: si.

She carried him up [the steps] to the prophet’s room and laid him on the bed. She left him there and went out and shut the door.

22 E da egoa misa: ne wele, ema amane sia: i, “Dia hawa: hamosu dunu amo dougi afae goeguda: oule misa: ne sia: ma! Na da balofede Ilaisia ba: la masunu. Na da e ba: lalu hedolo bu misunu.”

She then called out to her husband, saying, “Send to me one of the servants and a donkey, so that I can ride [on it] quickly to the prophet, and then come back!” [But she did not tell her husband that their son had died].

23 Egoa da ema amane adole ba: i, “Abuliba: le di da wali esoga masa: bela: ? Wali da Sa: bade hame amola Oubi Gaheabolo Lolo Nabe eso hame!” Uda da bu adole i, “Mae dawa: ma!”

Her husband [called out to her and] said, “Why [do you want to go] today? This is not the day when we celebrate the Festival of the New Moon, and it is not a Sabbath day!” But she only replied, “[Just do what I requested and] everything will be all right.”

24 Ea sia: beba: le, ilia dougi da: iya fisu ligisi. E da hawa: hamosu dunuma amane sia: i, “Dougi da hehenama: ne sesemasa! Na sia: beba: le fawane, gebe masa!”

So she [told the servant to] put saddles on [two] donkeys, and as they left, she said, “Hurry! Do not slow down unless t tell you to do that!”

25 E da asili, Ilaisia ea esalebe sogebi, Gamele Goumiga doaga: i. Ilaisia da uda e sedagawane manebe ba: le, ea hawa: hamosu dunu Gihaisaima amane sia: i, “Ba: ma! Siuneme uda da manebe goea!

As they approached Carmel Mountain, where Elisha was, Elisha saw her in the distance. He said to Gehazi, “Look, the woman from Shunem is coming!

26 Hedolo ema asili, amola adi hou e amola egoa amola ea manoma doagabela: le naba ba: ma.” Uda da Gihaisaima, hou huluane ema gala da defea sia: i.

Run to her, and ask her if everything is all right with her and her husband and with her child!” [So Gehazi ran to her and asked her, but she did not tell Gehazi anything.] She only said, “Yes, everything is fine.”

27 Be e da Ilaisiama misini, e da ea midadi beguduli, ea emo gagui. Gihaisai da e fuli gamusa: amai, be Ilaisia da amane sia: i, “E yolesima! E da bagadedafa da: i dioi amo di da hame ba: sala: ? Amola Hina Gode da amo hou nama hamedafa adoi.”

But when she came to where Elisha was, she [prostrated herself on the ground in front of Elisha and] took hold of his feet. Gehazi started to push her away, but Elisha said, “(Do not push her away/Leave her alone)! Something is troubling her very much, but Yahweh has not told me what it is.”

28 Uda da ema amane sia: i, “Hina! Na da dunu mano lamusa: adole ba: bela: ? Na da dima na hanai dawa: i, amo mae gaguia gadoma: ne sia: i!”

Then she said to Elisha, “O, sir, I did not ask you to enable me to give birth to a son [RHQ]. And I told you not to lie to me about that!” [RHQ]

29 Ilaisia da Gihaisaima ba: le ganone, amane sia: i, “Hedolodafa! Na galiamo lale, hedolo masa. Di da logoa ahoana dunu gousa: sea, amo bisili mae sia: sa: ima! Hedolodafa asili, diasua doaga: le, na galiamo lale, mano bogoi amo dabua gadodili gagulaligima.”

Then Elisha [realized that something must have happened to her son. So he] said to Gehazi, “Get ready [to leave immediately]. Take my staff/walking stick and go [to her home]. Do not [stop to] talk to anyone on the way. Go quickly [to where her son is] and lay the staff on the child’s face. [If you do that, perhaps Yahweh will enable him to be well].”

30 Uda da Ilaisiama amane sia: i, “Na da Hina Gode da esala amola di da esala, amo dafawaneyale dawa: beba: le, agoane ilegele sia: sa. Na da di hamedafa yolesimu!” Amaiba: le, ele galu buhagi.

But the boy’s mother said, “Just [as certain] as Yahweh lives and you live, I will not go home if you do not go with me.” So Elisha returned with her [to her home].

31 Gihaisai da hidadea asili, Ilaisia ea galiamo amo bogoi mano dabua gado gagulaligi. Be mano da sia: afae o fogobe hame ba: i. Amaiba: le, Gihaisai da Ilaisia logoa gousa: musa: buhagili asili, ema amane sia: i, “Amo mano da hame wa: legadoi.”

Gehazi hurried quickly, and [when he got to the woman’s home, ] he laid the staff/walking stick on the child’s face, but the child did not move or say anything. So Gehazi returned to meet Elisha [along the road], and told him, “The child is still dead.”

32 Ilaisia da doaga: le, e da hisu sesei ganodini sa: ili ba: loba, mano bogoi da diaheda: su fafai da: iya dialebe ba: i.

When Elisha reached the house, he saw that the boy was lying dead on his bed.

33 E da logo ga: sili, Hina Godema sia: ne gadoi.

Elisha went into the room by himself and shut the door and prayed to Yahweh.

34 Amalu e da bogoi mano da: iya mogosusuli, migagadenene, diaheda: i.

Then he lay down on the boy’s body, and put his mouth on the boy’s mouth, and put his eyes on the boy’s eyes, and put his hands on the boy’s hands. Then the boy’s body started to become warm!

35 Ilaisia da wa: legadole, sesei ganodini lalu, amalu bu asili, bogoi da: iya, hi musa: hamoi, amo defele bu hamoi. Amo mano da fesuale agoane hadisia: nanu, ea si fadegai.

Elisha got up and walked back and forth in the room [several times]. Then he stretched his body on the boy’s body again. The boy sneezed seven times and opened his eyes!

36 Ilaisia da Gihaisaima wele, mano amo ea eme wema: ne sia: i. Eme da manoba, Ilaisia da ema amane sia: i, “Diagofe da goea!”

Then Elisha summoned Gehazi. He said, “Call the boy’s mother!” [So Gehazi went and called her, ] and when she came in, Elisha said, “Here, take your son!”

37 E da Ilaisia ea midadi osoba gudu ea odagi digili dia: sa: i. Amalu egefe lale, oule asi.

She [gratefully] prostrated herself at Elisha’s feet. Then she picked up her son and carried him downstairs.

38 Eso afaega, ha: bagade amo sogega doaga: i. Ilaisia da Giliga: le moilaiga buhagi. E da balofede gilisisu olelelaloba, e da ea hawa: hamosu dunuma, lalu didili, gobele nasu ofodo bagade amo ganodini, hu amola dadami gilisili bibiogone, gobema: ne sia: i.

Then Elisha returned to Gilgal. But at that time there was (a famine/very little food) in that area. One day as the group of prophets was sitting in front of Elisha [listening to what he was teaching], he said to his servant, “Put a large pot on [the stove] and make some stew for these men.”

39 Dunu afae da hedama: ne fodole nasu lamusa: , sogega asi. E da ganagu efe ba: beba: le, ea gaguli misunu defele, ganagu faili, gaguli asili, abenane dadamuni, gobele nasu ofodo ganodini salawene, eno ha: i manu amoma gilisilisi. Be amo ganagu ilia hou, e da mae dawa: le agoane hamoi.

One of the prophets went out to the fields to gather some vegetables. But he gathered [only] some wild gourds and put them in his cloak and brought them back. He shredded them and put them in the pot, but he did not know that the gourds were poisonous.

40 Ilia da hu amola dadami bibiogone gobei amo manusa: soga: sasali. Be ilia da amo na ba: lalu, Ilaisiama ha: giwane sia: i, “Bogosu liligi da gobele nasu ofodo ganodini gala!” Amalu, ilia da amo ha: i manu hamedei ba: i.

He served the stew to the prophets, but after the men had eaten only a couple bites, they cried out, “Elisha, there is something in the pot that will kill us!” So they would not eat it.

41 Ilaisia da amane sia: i, “Falaua (gala: ine goudai) gaguli misa!” E da amo lale, gobele nasu ganodini sanasili, amane sia: i, “Ilia moma: ne, hu amola dadami bibiogoi eno soga: salima!” Ilia da lale naba: loba, noga: idafa ba: i.

Elisha said, “Bring me some flour.” [They brought him some, and] he threw it in the pot and he said, “It is all right now. You can eat it.” And they ate it, and it did not harm them.

42 Eso enoga, dunu afae da Ba: ile Sia: lisia moilaiga Ilaisiama misini, ema agi ga: gi 20 agoane (amo da amo odega bali degabo gami amoga hamoi) amola wahawane fai gala: ine fage, gaguli misi. Ilaisia da ea hawa: hamosu dunuma, e da amo balofede dunu gilisisu ilia manusa: , ima: ne sia: i.

One day a man from Baal-Shalishah [town] brought to Elisha a sack of freshly cut grain and 20 loaves of barley bread, made from the first grain that they harvested [that year]. Elisha said [to his servant], “Give it to the group of prophets, so that they can eat it.”

43 Be ea hawa: hamosu dunu da bu adole i, “Amo ha: i manu da dunu 100 agoanega sadima: ne manu defele hame ba: mu.” Be Ilaisia da amane sia: i, “Ili moma: ne, ilima ima! Bai Hina Gode da amane sia: sa, ‘Ilia da sadini nanu, eno hame mai dialebe ba: mu.’”

But his servant exclaimed, “Do you think that we can feed 100 of us prophets with only that much?” [RHQ] But Elisha replied, “Give it to the prophets so that they can eat it, because Yahweh says that there will be plenty for all of them, and there will be some left over!”

44 Amaiba: le, Ilaisia ea hawa: hamosu dunu da amo ha: i manu ilia midadi ligisilalu, amola Hina Gode Ea sia: i defele, ilia huluane da nanu sadiba: le, oda hame mai dialebe ba: i.

After his servant gave it to the prophets, they ate [all that they wanted], and there was food left over, just as Yahweh had promised.
