4 Царе 4

1 А една от жените на пророческите ученици извика към Елисея и каза: Слугата ти мъж ми умря; и ти знаеш, че слугата ти се боеше от Господа; а заимодавецът дойде да вземе за себе си двата ми сина за роби.

Now a certain woman, from the wives of the prophets, cried out to Elisha, saying: “My husband, your servant, is dead. And you know that your servant was one who fears the Lord. And behold, a creditor has arrived, so that he may take away my two sons to serve him.”

2 И Елисей й каза: Що да ти сторя? Кажи ми що имаш в къщи? А тя рече: Слугинята ти няма нищо в къщи, освен един съд с дървено масло.

And Elisha said to her: “What do you want me to do for you? Tell me, what do you have in your house?” And she responded, “I, your handmaid, do not have anything in my house, except a little oil, with which I may be anointed.”

3 И рече: Иди, вземи на заем вън, от всичките си съседи, съдове празни съдове, вземи не малко.

And he said to her: “Go, ask to borrow from all your neighbors empty vessels, more than a few.

4 Сетне влез и затвори вратата зад себе си и зад синовете си, и наливай от маслото във всички тия съдове, и пълните туряй на страна.

And enter and close your door. And when you are inside with your sons, pour from the oil into all those vessels. And when they are full, take them away.”

5 И тъй, та си отиве от него та затвори вратата зад себе си и зад синовете си; и те донасяха съдовете при нея, а тя наливаше.

And so, the woman went and closed the door upon herself and her sons. They were bringing her the vessels, and she was pouring into them.

6 И като се напълниха съдовете, рече на един от синовете си: Донеси ми още един съд. А той й рече: Няма друг съд. И маслото престана.

And when the vessels had been filled, she said to her son, “Bring me another a vessel.” And he responded, “I have none.” And there was oil remaining.

7 Тогава тя дойде та извести на Божия човек. И той рече: Иди, продай маслото та плати дълга си, и живей с останалото, ти и синовете ти.

Then she went and told the man of God. And he said: “Go, sell the oil, and repay your creditor. Then you and your sons may live on what remains.”

8 И един ден Елисей замина в Сунам, гдето имаше една богата жена; и тя го задържа да яде хляб. И колкото пъти заминаваше свръщаше там, за да яде хляб.

Now it happened that, on a certain day, Elisha passed by Shunem. And there was a great woman there, who took him to eat bread. And since he frequently passed by there, he turned aside to her house, so that he might eat bread.

9 Сетне жената рече на мъжа си: Ето сеха, познавам че този, който постоянно наминава у нас, е свет Божий човек.

And she said to her husband: “I have noticed that he is a holy man of God, who passes by us frequently.

10 Да направим, моля една малка стаичка на стената, и да турим в нея за него легло и маса и стол и светилник, за да свръща там, когато дохожда при нас.

Therefore, let us prepare a small upper room for him, and place a bed in it for him, and a table, and a chair, and a lampstand, so that when he comes to us, he may stay there.”

11 И един ден, като дойде там и свърна в стаичката та лежеше в нея,

Then it happened that, on a certain day, arriving, he turned aside into the upper room, and he rested there.

12 рече на слугата си Гиезия: Повикай тая сунамка. И повика я, и тя застана пред него.

And he said to his servant Gehazi, “Call this Shunammite woman.” And when he had called her, and she stood before him,

13 И рече Гиезия: Кажи й сега: Етой, ти си положила всички тия грижи за нас; що да се говори за тебе на царя или на военачалника. А тя отговори: Аз живея между своите люде.

he said to his servant: “Say to her: Behold, you have ministered to us attentively in all things. What do you want, that I might do for you? Do you have any business, or do you want me to speak to the king, or to the leader of the military?” And she responded, “I live in the midst of my own people.”

14 Тогава рече: Що, прочее, да сторим за нея? А гиезиий отговори: Наистина тя няма син, а мъжът й е стар.

And he said, “Then what does she want, that I might do for her?” And Gehazi said: “You need not ask. For she has no son, and her husband is elderly.”

15 И рече: Повикай я. И когато я повика, тя застана при вратата.

And so, he instructed him to call her. And when she had been called, and was standing before the door,

16 И Елисей й рече: Не, господарю мой, Божий човече, не лъжи слугинята си.

he said to her, “At this time, and at this same hour, with life as a companion, you will have a son in your womb.” But she responded, “Do not, I ask you, my lord, a man of God, do not be willing to lie to your handmaid.”

17 Но жената зачна и роди син на другата година по същото време, както й рече Елисей.

And the woman conceived. And she bore a son, in the time and at the same hour as Elisha had said.

18 И когато порасна детето, излезе един ден към баща си при жетварите.

And the boy grew. And on a certain day, when he had gone out to his father, to the harvesters,

19 И рече на баща си: Главата ми! главата ми! А той рече на един от момците: Занеси го при майка му.

he said to his father: “I have a pain in my head. I have a pain in my head.” But he said to his servant, “Take him, and lead him to his mother.”

20 И като го взе занесе го при маяка му; и детето седна на коленете й до пладне, и тогава умря.

But when he had taken him, and he had led him to his mother, she placed him upon her knees, until midday, and then he died.

21 И тя се качи та го положи на леглото на Божия човек, и като зетвори вратата след него, излезе.

Then she went up and laid him out on the bed of the man of God, and she closed the door. And departing,

22 Тогава повика мъжа си и рече: Изпрати ми, моля, един от момците и една от ослиците, за да тичам при Божия човек и да се върна.

she called her husband, and she said: “Send with me, I beg you, one of your servants, and a donkey, so that I may hurry to the man of God, and then return.”

23 А той рече: Защо да отидеш днес при него? не е нито нов месец, нито събота. А тя рече: Бъди спокоен.

And he said to her: “What is the reason that you would go to him? Today is not the new moon, and it is not the Sabbath.” She responded, “I will go.”

24 Тогава оседла ослицата, и рече на слугата си: Карай и бързай; не забравяй карането заради мене освен ако ти заповядвам.

And she saddled a donkey, and she instructed her servant: “Drive, and hurry on. You shall cause no delay for me in departing. And do whatever I instruct you to do.”

25 И тъй, стана та отиде при Божия човек на планината Кармил. А Божият човек, като я видя от далеч, рече на слугата си Гиезия: Ето там сунамката!

And so she set out. And she came to the man of God, on mount Carmel. And when the man of God had seen her at a distance, he said to his servant Gehazi: “Behold, it is that Shunammite woman.

26 Сега, прочее, тичай да я посрещнеш и кажи й: Добре ли си? добре ли е мъжът ти? Дабре ли е детето? А тя отговори: Добре.

So then, go to meet her, and say to her, ‘Does all go well concerning you, and your husband, and your son?’” And she answered, “It is well.”

27 А когато дойде при Божия човек на планината, хвана се за нозете му; а Гиезий се приближи, за да я оттласне. Но Божият човек рече: Остави я, защото душата й е преогорчена в нея: А Господ е скрил причината от мене, и не ми я е явил.

And when she had arrived at the man of God, on the mount, she took hold of his feet. And Gehazi drew near, so that he might remove her. But the man of God said: “Permit her. For her soul is in bitterness. And the Lord has concealed it from me, and has not revealed it to me.”

28 А тя рече: Искала ли съм син от господаря си? Не рекох ли: Не ме лъжи?

And she said to him: “Did I ask a son from my lord? Did I not say to you, ‘You should not deceive me?’”

29 Тогава Елисей рече на Гиезия: Препаши кръста си, вземи тоягата ми в ръка, та иди; ако срещнеш човек, да го не поздравиш, а ако те поздрави някой, да ме не отговаряш; и положи тоягата ми върху лицето на детето.

And so he said to Gehazi: “Gird your waist, and take my staff in your hand, and go. If any man will meet you, you shall not greet him. And if anyone greets you, you shall not respond to him. And place my staff upon the face of the boy.”

30 А майката на детето рече: Заклевам се в живота на Господа и в живота на душата ти, няма да те оставя. И така, той стана та отиде подир нея.

But the mother of the boy said, “As the Lord lives, and as your soul lives, I will not release you.” Therefore, he rose up, and he followed her.

31 А Гиезия мина пред тях и положи тоягата върху лицето на детето; но нямаше ни глас, нито слушане. Затова се върна да го посрещне и му извести казвайко: Детето не се събуди.

But Gehazi had gone before them, and he had placed the staff upon the face of the boy. And there was no voice, nor any response. And so he returned to meet him. And he reported to him, saying, “The boy did not rise up.”

32 И когато влезе Елисей в къщата, ето детето умряло, положено на леглото му.

Therefore, Elisha entered the house. And behold, the boy was lying dead upon his bed.

33 Влезе, прочее, та затвори вратата зат тях двамата, и помоли се Господу.

And entering, he closed the door upon himself and the boy. And he prayed to the Lord.

34 Тогава се качи та легна върху детето, и като тури устата си върху неговите уста, и рацете си върху неговите ръце простря се върху него; и стопли се тялото на детето.

And he climbed up, and lay across the boy. And he put his mouth over his mouth, and his eyes over his eyes, and his hands over his hands. And he leaned himself over him, and the body of the boy grew warm.

35 После се оттегли та ходеше насам натам из къщата, тогава пак се качи та се простря върху него; и детето кихна седем пъти, и детето отвори очите си.

And returning, he walked around the house, first here and then there. And he went up, and lay across him. And the boy gasped seven times, and he opened his eyes.

36 И Елисай извика Гиезия и рече: Повикай тая сунамка. И повика я; и когато влезе при него, рече й: Вземи сина си.

And he called Gehazi, and said to him, “Call this Shunammite woman.” And having been called, she entered to him. And he said, “Take up your son.”

37 И тя влезе, падна на нозете му та се поклони до земята, и дигна сина си те излезе.

She went and fell at his feet, and she reverenced upon the ground. And she took up her son, and departed.

38 Пак дойде Елисей в Галгал, когато имаше глад в земята; и като седяха пред него пророческите ученици, та го слушаха, рече на слугата си: Тури големия котел та свари вариво за пророческите ученици.

And Elisha returned to Gilgal. Now there was a famine in the land, and the sons of the prophets were living in his sight. And he said to one of his servants, “Set out a large cooking pot, and boil a soup for the sons of the prophets.”

39 Затова, един излезе на полето за да набере зеленище, и като намери диво растение, набра от него диви тиквички, та напълни дрехата си, и се върна и ги наряза в котела с варивото, понеже не знаеха, че са отровни.

And one went out into the field, so that he might collect wild herbs. And he found something like a wild vine, and he gathered from it bitter fruits of the field, and he filled his cloak. And returning, he cut these up for the pot of soup. But he did not know what it was.

40 После сипаха на човеците да ядат; а като ядоха от варивото извикаха, казвайки: Божий човече, смърт има в котела! И не можаха да ядат от него.

Then they poured it out for their companions to eat. And when they had tasted the mixture, they cried out, saying, “Death is in the cooking pot, O man of God!” And they were unable to eat.

41 А той рече: Тогава донесете брашно. И като го хвърли в котела рече: Сипи на людете да ядат. И нямаше нищо отровно в котела.

But he said, “Bring some flour.” And when they had brought it, he cast it into the cooking pot, and he said, “Pour it out for the group, so that they may eat.” And there was no longer any bitterness in the cooking pot.

42 В това време един човек от Ваалселиса дойде та донесе на Божия човек хляб от първите плодове, двадесет ечемичени хляба и пресни класове жито небелени. И рече: Дай на людете да ядат.

Now a certain man arrived from Baal-Shalishah, carrying, for the man of God, bread from the first-fruits, twenty loaves of barley, and new grain in his satchel. But he said, “Give it to the people, so that they may eat.”

43 И слугата му рече: Що! да сложа ли това пред стотина човека? А той каза: Дай на людете да ядат, защото така казва Господ: Ще се нахранят и ще остане излишък.

And his servant responded to him, “What amount is this, that I should set it before a hundred men?” But he said again: “Give it to the people, so that they may eat. For thus says the Lord, ‘They shall eat, and there shall be still more.’”

44 Тогава той сложи пред тях, та се нахраниха, и остана излишък, според Господното слово.

And so, he set it before them. And they ate, and there was still more, in accord with the word of the Lord.
