2 Mafumu 4
1 Mkazi wa mmodzi mwa ana a aneneri anafuwula kwa Elisa kuti, “Mtumiki wanu, mwamuna wanga wamwalira ndipo inu mukudziwa kuti ankaopa Yehova. Koma tsopano munthu amene mwamuna wanga anakongolako zinthu zake, akubwera kudzatenga ana anga awiri aamuna kuti akhale akapolo ake.”
And one of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried to Elisaie, saying, Thy servant my husband is dead; and thou knowest that thy servant feared the Lord: and the creditor is come to take my two sons to be his servants.
2 Elisa anayankha mayiyo kuti, “Kodi ufuna ndikuchitire chiyani? Tandiwuza uli ndi chiyani mʼnyumba mwako?” Mayiyo anayankha kuti, “Mdzakazi wanu alibe kanthu kalikonse koma timafuta pangʼono chabe.”
And Elisaie said, What shall I do for thee? tell me what thou hast in the house. And she said, Thy servant has nothing in the house, except oil wherewith I anoint myself.
3 Elisa anati, “Pita kabwereke mitsuko yonse yopanda kanthu kwa anzako. Usakabwereke mitsuko yochepa.
And he said to her, Go, borrow for thyself vessels without of all thy neighbours, [even] empty vessels; borrow not a few.
4 Kenaka ukalowe mʼnyumba mwako ndi kudzitsekera iwe ndi ana ako. Mukakatero mukakhuthulire mafuta mʼmitsuko yonseyo, ndipo mtsuko uliwonse ukadzaza muzikawuyika pambali.”
And thou shalt go in and shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons, and thou shalt pour forth into these vessels, and remove that which is filled.
5 Mayi uja anachoka kwa Elisa nakadzitsekera ndi ana ake. Anthu anabweretsa mitsuko kwa iye ndipo ankathiramo mafuta.
And she departed from him, and shut the door upon herself and upon her sons: they brought the vessels near to her, and she poured in until the vessels were filled.
6 Mitsuko yonse itadzaza, mayiyo anawuza mwana wake kuti, “Bweretsa mtsuko wina.” Koma iye anayankha kuti, “Mitsuko yonse yatha.” Pamenepo mafuta analeka kutuluka.
And she said to her sons, Bring me yet a vessel. And they said to her, There is not a vessel more. And the oil stayed.
7 Mayiyo anapita nakamuwuza munthu wa Mulungu amene anamuyankha kuti, “Pita, kagulitse mafutawo ndipo ukabweze ngongole ija. Ndalama zotsalazo zikakhale zako ndi ana ako.”
And she came and told the man of God: and Elisaie said, Go, and sell the oil, and thou shalt pay thy debts, and thou and thy sons shall live of the remaining oil.
8 Tsiku lina Elisa anapita ku Sunemu. Kumeneko kunkakhala mayi wina wachuma amene anawumiriza Elisa kuti adye chakudya. Choncho nthawi iliyonse imene Elisa amadutsa kumeneko, ankayima ndi kudya.
And a day came, when Elisaie passed over to Soman, and [there was] a great lady there, and she constrained him to eat bread: and it came to pass as often as he went into [the city, that] he turned aside to eat there.
9 Mayiyo anawuza mwamuna wake kuti, “Taonani, ine ndikudziwa kuti munthu amene amadutsa pano nthawi zambiriyu ndi munthu woyera wa Mulungu.
And the woman said to her husband, See now, I know that this [is] a holy man of God who comes over continually to us.
10 Tiyeni timumangire kachipinda kakangʼono pa denga la nyumbayi ndi kumuyikiramo bedi ndi tebulo, mpando ndi nyale. Akabwera kuno azikhala mʼmenemo.”
Let us now make for him an upper chamber, a small place; and let us put there for him a bed, and a table, and a stool, and a candlestick: and it shall come to pass that when he comes in to us, he shall turn in thither.
11 Tsiku lina pamene Elisa anafika ku Sunemu, iye anakalowa mʼchipinda chake chija nagona mʼmenemo.
And a day came, and he went in thither, and turned aside into the upper chamber, and lay there.
12 Iye anati kwa mtumiki wake Gehazi, “Muyitane Msunemuyu.” Ndipo anapita kukamuyitana mayiyo, ndipo anabwera nayima pamaso pa Elisa.
And he said to Giezi his servant, Call me this Somanite. and he called her, and she stood before him.
13 Elisa anati kwa Gehazi, “Muwuze mayiyo kuti, ‘Wavutika potichitira zonsezi. Nanga tsopano ifeyo tikuchitire chiyani? Kodi ukufuna kuti tikadziwitse mfumu kapena mtsogoleri wa ankhondo zimene watichitirazi?’” Mayiyo anayankha kuti, “Ine ndimakhala mwamtendere pakati pa abale anga.”
And he said to him, Say now to her, Behold, thou hast taken all this trouble for us; what should I do for thee? Hast thou any request [to make] to the king, or to the captain of the host? And she said, I dwell in the midst of my people.
14 Elisa anafunsanso Gehazi kuti, “Kodi tingamuchitire chiyani?” Gehazi anati, “Ndithu, mayiyu alibe mwana ndipo mwamuna wake ndi wokalamba.”
And he said to Giezi, What must we do for her? and Giezi his servant said, Indeed she has no son, and her husband [is] old.
15 Pamenepo Elisa anati, “Muyitane.” Choncho Gehazi anamuyitana, ndipo iye anabwera nayima pa khomo.
And he called her, and she stood by the door.
16 Elisa anati kwa mayiyo, “Nthawi ngati yomwe ino chaka chamawa, udzakhala utanyamula mwana wamwamuna mʼmanja mwako.” Mayiyo anatsutsa zimenezi nanena kuti, “Ayi mbuye wanga. Inu munthu wa Mulungu, musanamize mdzakazi wanu!”
And Elisaie said to her, At this time [next year], as the season [is], thou [shalt be] alive, and embrace a son. And she said, Nay, my lord, do not lie to thy servant.
17 Koma mayi uja anakhala woyembekezera, ndipo chaka chotsatiracho, nthawi ngati yomweyo anabereka mwana wamwamuna monga momwe Elisa anamuwuzira.
And the woman conceived, and bore a son at the very time, as the season was, being alive, as Elisaie said to her.
18 Mwana uja anakula, ndipo tsiku lina anapita kwa abambo ake amene anali ndi anthu odula tirigu.
And the child grew: and it came to pass when he went out to his father to the reapers,
19 Mwanayo anafuwula kwa abambo ake kuti, “Mayo! Mutu wanga ine! Mayo! Mutu wanga ine!” Abambo akewo anawuza wantchito wake kuti, “Munyamule ndi kukamupereka kwa amayi ake.”
that he said to his father, My head, my head. and [his father] said to a servant, carry him to his mother.
20 Wantchito uja atamunyamula ndi kumupereka kwa amayi ake. Mwanayo anakhala pa miyendo ya amayi akeyo mpaka masana, ndipo pambuyo pake anamwalira.
And he carried him to his mother, and he lay upon her knees till noon, and died.
21 Mayiyo ananyamula mwanayo nakamugoneka pa bedi la munthu wa Mulungu uja. Kenaka anatseka chitseko iye nʼkuchokapo.
And she carried him up and laid him on the bed of the man of god; and she shut the door upon him, and went out.
22 Iye anayitanitsa mwamuna wake namuwuza kuti, “Tumizireni wantchito mmodzi ndi bulu mmodzi kuti ndipite mofulumira kwa munthu wa Mulungu nʼkubwererako.”
And she called her husband, and said, Send now for me one of the young men, and one of the asses, and I will ride quickly to the man of God, and return.
23 Mwamuna wakeyo anafunsa kuti, “Chifukwa chiyani ukupita kwa iyeyo lero? Lero si tsiku la Chikondwerero cha Mwezi Watsopano kapena tsiku la Sabata.” Mayiyo anayankha kuti, “Zonse zili bwino.”
And he said, Why art thou going to him to-day? It is neither new moon, nor the Sabbath. And she said, [It is] well.
24 Mayiyo anamangirira chishalo pa bulu ndipo anawuza wantchito wake kuti, “Yendetsa bulu mofulumira. Usachepetse liwiro pokhapokha nditakuwuza.”
And she saddled the ass, and said to her servant, Be quick, proceed: spare not on my account to ride, unless I shall tell thee. Go, and thou shalt proceed, and come to the man of God to mount Carmel.
25 Choncho ananyamuka nakafika kwa munthu wa Mulungu uja ku Phiri la Karimeli. Munthu wa Mulungu ataona mayiyo patali, anawuza mtumiki wake Gehazi kuti, “Taona! Msunemu uyo!
And she rode and came to the man of God to the mountain: and it came to pass when Elisaie saw her coming, that he said to Giezi his servant, See now, that Somanite comes.
26 Thamanga msanga ukakumane naye ndipo ukamufunse kuti, ‘Kodi muli bwino? Kodi mwamuna wanu ali bwino? Kodi mwana wanu ali bwino?’” Mayiyo anayankha kuti, “Zonse zili bwino.”
Now run to meet her, and thou shalt say, [Is it] well with thee? [is it] well with thy husband? [is it] well with the child? and she said, [It is] well.
27 Atafika kwa munthu wa Mulunguyo pa phiripo, mayiyo anagwira mapazi a Elisa. Gehazi anabwera kuti amukankhe, koma munthu wa Mulungu anati, “Musiye! Iyeyu ali pa mavuto aakulu, koma Yehova wandibisira zimenezi ndipo sanandiwuze chifukwa chake.”
And she came to Elisaie to the mountain, and laid hold of his feet; and Giezi drew near to thrust her away. And Elisaie said, Let her alone, for her soul [is] much grieved in her, and the Lord has hidden [it] from me, and has not told [it] me.
28 Tsono mayiyo anati, “Mbuye wanga, kodi ine ndinakupemphani mwana? Kodi sindinakuwuzeni kuti musandinamize?”
And she said, Did I ask a son of my lord? For did I not say, Do not deal deceitfully with me?
29 Elisa anawuza Gehazi kuti, “Manga lamba mʼchiwuno mwako, tenga ndodo yanga mʼdzanja lako ndipo thamanga. Ngati ukumana ndi munthu wina aliyense, usamupatse moni, ndipo ngati wina akupatsa moni, usayankhe. Ukagoneke ndodo yanga pa nkhope ya mwanayo.”
And Elisaie said to Giezi, Gird up thy loins, and take my staff in thy hand, and go: if thou meet any man, thou shalt not salute him, and if a man salute thee thou shalt not answer him: and thou shalt lay my staff on the child's face.
30 Koma mayi wake wa mwana uja anati, “Pali Yehova wamoyo ndiponso pali inu nomwe, ineyo sindidzakusiyani.” Choncho Elisa ananyamuka natsatira mayiyo.
And the mother of the child said, [As] the Lord lives and [as] thy soul lives, I will not leave thee. And Elisaie arose, and went after her.
31 Gehazi anatsogola nakagoneka ndodoyo pa nkhope ya mwanayo, koma sipanamveke mawu kapena kugwedezeka kuonetsa kuti ali moyo. Choncho Gehazi anabwerera kukakumana ndi Elisa ndipo anamuwuza kuti, “Mwanayo sanatsitsimuke.”
And Giezi went on before her, and laid his staff on the child's face: but there was neither voice nor any hearing. So he returned to meet him, and told him, saying, The child is not awaked.
32 Ndipo Elisa atafika ku nyumbako, taonani, mwanayo anali wakufa atamugoneka pa bedi lake.
And Elisaie went into the house, and, behold, the dead child was laid upon his bed.
33 Elisa analowa mʼnyumbamo natseka chitseko. Anali awiri okha mʼchipindamo ndipo iye anapemphera kwa Yehova.
And Elisaie went into the house, and shut the door upon themselves, the two, and prayed to the Lord.
34 Kenaka anakwera pa bedi ndi kumugonera mwanayo, pakamwa pake panakhudzana ndi pakamwa pa mwanayo, maso ake anakhudzana ndi maso a mwanayo, ndipo manja ake anakhudzana ndi manja a mwanayo. Pamene ankadzitambalitsa yekha pa mwanayo, thupi la mwanayo linayamba kufunda.
And he went up, and lay upon the child, and put his mouth upon his mouth, and his eyes upon his eyes, and his hands upon his hands; and bowed himself upon him, and the flesh of the child grew warm.
35 Elisa anatembenuka nayenda uku ndi uku kamodzi mʼchipindamo ndipo kenaka anakweranso pa bedi nagoneranso mwanayo. Mwanayo anayetsemula kasanu ndi kawiri ndipo anatsekula maso ake.
And he returned, and walked up and down in the house: and he went up, and bowed himself on the child seven times; and the child opened his eyes.
36 Elisa anayitana Gehazi ndipo anati, “Muyitane Msunemuyo.” Ndipo anaterodi. Mayiyo atabwera, Elisa anati, “Tenga mwana wako.”
And Elisaie cried out to Giezi, and said, Call this Somanite. So he called her, and she came in to him: and Elisaie said, Take thy son.
37 Mayiyo analowa, nagwada pa mapazi a Elisa, naweramitsa mutu wake pansi. Kenaka ananyamula mwana wake natuluka.
And the woman went in, and fell at his feet, and did obeisance [bowing] to the ground; and she took her son, and went out.
38 Elisa anabwerera ku Giligala ndipo ku dera limenelo kunali njala. Elisa akukumana ndi ana a aneneri, anati kwa mtumiki wake, “Ika mʼphika waukulu pa moto ndipo uwaphikire chakudya anthu awa.”
And Elisaie returned to Galgala: and a famine [was] in the land; and the sons of the prophets sat before him: and Elisaie said to his servant, Set on the great pot, and boil pottage for the sons of the prophets.
39 Mmodzi mwa ana aneneriwo anapita kuthengo kukafuna ndiwo ndipo anakapeza mpesa wakuthengo. Iye anathyolako zipatso zake nadzaza nsalu yake. Atabwerera, anazidula zipatsozo naziyika mu mʼphika, ngakhale kuti panalibe amene ankazidziwa.
And he went out into the field to gather herbs, and found a vine in the field, and gathered of it wild gourds, his garment full; and he cast it into the caldron of pottage, for they knew [them] not.
40 Anawapakulira anthu chakudyacho, koma atayamba kudya, anthuwo anafuwula kuti, “Inu munthu wa Mulungu muli imfa mu mʼphikamu!” Ndipo sakanatha kudya chakudyacho.
And he poured it out for the men to eat: and it came to pass, when they were eating of the pottage, that lo! they cried out, and said, [There is] death in the pot, O man of God. And they could not eat.
41 Elisa anati, “Bweretsani ufa.” Iye anathira ufa mu mʼphikamo ndipo anati, “Perekani chakudyachi kwa anthu kuti adye.” Ndipo mu mʼphikamo munalibenso zoopsa.
And he said, Take meal, and cast it into the pot. And Elisaie said to his servant Giezi, Pour out for the people, and let them eat. And there was no longer there any hurtful thing in the pot.
42 Munthu wina wochokera ku Baala-Salisa anabwera atamutengera munthu wa Mulungu malofu a barele makumi awiri opangidwa kuchokera ku zokolola zoyamba kucha, pamodzinso ndi ngala zatsopano za tirigu. Elisa anati kwa munthuyo, “Apatse anthu kuti adye.”
And there came a man over from Baetharisa, and brought to the man of God twenty barley loaves and cakes of figs, of the first-fruits. And he said, Give to the people, and let them eat.
43 Mtumiki wake anafunsa kuti, “Kodi ndikachigawe motani chakudyachi kwa anthu 100?” Koma Elisa anamuwuzanso kuti, “Apatse anthu adye. Pakuti izi ndi zimene Yehova akunena kuti, ‘Iwo adzadya chakudyachi ndipo china chidzatsalako.’”
And his servant said, Why should I set this before a hundred men? and he said, Give to the people, and let them eat; for thus saith the Lord, They shall eat and leave.
44 Tsono iye anachipereka kwa anthuwo ndipo anadya china nʼkutsalako, molingana ndi mawu a Yehova.
And they ate and left, according to the word of the Lord.
