And they said [the] sons of the prophets to Elisha here! please the place where we [are] dwelling there before you it is [too] cramped for us.
2 Tiloleni tipite ku Yorodani kumene aliyense wa ife akadule mtengo umodzi, kuti timange malo woti tizikhalamo.” Ndipo Elisa anati, “Pitani.”
Let us go please to the Jordan and let us take from there each a beam one and let us make for ourselves there a place to dwell there and he said go.
3 Mmodzi wa iwo anati, “Chonde mulole kutsagana nawo atumiki anu.” Elisa anayankha kuti, “Ndipita nanu.”
And he said the one be willing please and go with servants your and he said I I will go.
4 Ndipo anapita nawo. Anapita ku Yorodani nayamba kudula mitengo.
And he went with them and they came the Jordan towards and they cut down trees.
5 Pamene wina ankadula mtengo, nkhwangwa yake inaguluka nigwera mʼmadzi. Iye anafuwula kuti, “Mayo! Mbuye wanga! Popeza ndi yobwereka!”
And it was the one [was] making fall the beam and the iron it fell into the water and he cried out and he said alas! O lord my and it [was] asked.
6 Ndipo munthu wa Mulungu uja anafunsa, “Yagwera pati?” Pamene anamuonetsa malowo, Elisa anadula kamtengo nakaponya pamenepo, ndipo nkhwangwayo inayandama.
And he said [the] man of God where? did it fall and he showed him the place and he cut off a piece of wood and he threw [it] there towards and he caused to float the iron.
7 Elisa anati, “Itenge.” Ndipo munthuyo anatambalitsa dzanja lake nayitenga.
And he said lift [it] yourself and he stretched out hand his and he took it.
8 Tsono mfumu ya ku Aramu inali pa nkhondo ndi Israeli. Itakambirana ndi atsogoleri ake ankhondo inati, “Ndidzamanga misasa yanga pamalo akutiakuti.”
And [the] king of Aram he was fighting against Israel and he consulted servants his saying [will be] to a place of a certain one a certain one encampments my.
9 Munthu wa Mulungu anatumiza mawu kwa mfumu ya ku Israeli kuti “Musamale podutsa malo akuti, chifukwa Aaramu akupita kumeneko.”
And he sent [the] man of God to [the] king of Israel saying take care from passing by the place this for there Aram [is] descending.
10 Choncho mfumu ya ku Israeli inatuma anthu kumalo kumene munthu wa Mulunguyo ananena. Nthawi ndi nthawi Elisa ankachenjeza mfumu, kotero kuti ankakhala tcheru ku malo amenewo.
And he sent [the] king of Israel to the place which he had spoken to him [the] man of God (and he warned him *Q(K)*) and he took care there not one [time] and not two [times].
11 Zimenezi zinakwiyitsa kwambiri mfumu ya ku Aramu. Mfumuyo inayitanitsa atsogoleri ake ankhondo ndipo inawafunsa kuti, “Kodi simungandiwuze munthu amene pakati pathu pano ali mbali ya mfumu ya ku Israeli?”
And it was enraged [the] heart of [the] king of Aram on the matter this and he called to servants his and he said to them ¿ not will you tell to me who? from [those] who [belong] to us [is] to [the] king of Israel.
12 Mmodzi mwa atsogoleri a ankhondowo anati, “Palibe ndi mmodzi yemwe pakati pathu, inu mbuye wanga, koma Elisa mneneri amene ali ku Israeli amawuza mfumu ya ku Israeli mawu enieni amene inu mumayankhula ku chipinda kwanu.”
And he said one from servants his no O lord my the king for Elisha the prophet who [is] in Israel he tells to [the] king of Israel the words which you speak in [the] chamber of lying down your.
13 Choncho mfumu inalamula kuti, “Pitani, kafufuzeni kumene akukhala kuti ine nditume anthu kukamugwira.” Anthuwo anabweretsa mawu oti, “Taonani, Elisa ali ku Dotani.”
And he said go and see where? [is] he so I may send so I may capture him and it was told to him saying there! in Dothan.
14 Ndipo mfumu inatumizako magaleta ndi akavalo ndiponso gulu lankhondo lamphamvu. Anapita usiku nakawuzungulira mzindawo.
And he sent there towards horses and chariotry and an army massive and they came night and they surrounded the city.
15 Mtumiki wa munthu wa Mulungu atadzuka mmamawa ndi kutuluka panja, gulu la ankhondo pamodzi ndi akavalo ndi magaleta anali atazungulira mzindawo. Mtumikiyo anafunsa kuti, “Kalanga mbuye wanga, tidzachita chiyani?”
And he rose early [the] servant of [the] man of God to arise and he went out and there! an army [was] surrounding the city and horse[s] and chariotry and he said servant his to him alas! O lord my how? will we do.
16 Mneneri anamuyankha kuti, “Usachite mantha. Amene ali mbali yathu ndi ambiri kupambana amene ali mbali yawo.”
And he said may not you be afraid for [are] many [those] who [are] with us more than [those] who [are] them.
17 Ndipo Elisa anapemphera kuti, “Inu Yehova tsekulani maso ake kuti aone.” Pamenepo Yehova anatsekula maso a mtumikiyo, ndipo anayangʼana naona kuti phiri lonse linali lodzaza ndi akavalo ndi magaleta a moto atazungulira Elisa.
And he prayed Elisha and he said O Yahweh open please eyes his so he may see and he opened Yahweh [the] eyes of the servant and he saw and there! the hill it was full horses and chariotry of fire around Elisha.
18 Pamene adaniwo ankabwera kudzalimbana naye, Elisa anapemphera kwa Yehova kuti, “Achititseni khungu anthu awa.” Kotero Yehova anawachititsa khungu monga anapemphera Elisa.
And they came down to him and he prayed Elisha to Yahweh and he said strike please the nation this with sudden blindness and he struck them with sudden blindness according to [the] word of Elisha.
19 Elisa anawawuza ankhondowo kuti, “Njira si imeneyi ndipo mzinda sumenewunso. Tsateni, ndipo ndidzakutengerani kwa munthu amene mukumufunayo.” Ndipo anawatengera ku Samariya.
And he said to them Elisha not this [is] the way and not this [is] the city come after me so let me lead you to the man whom you seek! and he led them Samaria towards.
20 Atalowa mu mzinda wa Samariya, Elisa anati, “Yehova tsekulani maso a anthu awa kuti aone.” Choncho Yehova anatsekula maso awo ndipo anangoona kuti ali mʼkati mwenimweni mwa Samariya.
And it was when came they Samaria and he said Elisha O Yahweh open [the] eyes of these [men] so they may see and he opened Yahweh eyes their and they saw and there! [they were] in [the] midst of Samaria.
21 Mfumu ya ku Israeli itawaona, inafunsa Elisa kuti, “Abambo anga, kodi ndiwaphe? Kodi ndiwaphe?”
And he said [the] king of Israel to Elisha when saw he them ¿ will I strike [them] down will I strike [them] down? O father my.
22 Elisa anayankha kuti, “Musawaphe. Kodi mungaphe anthu amene munawagwira pogwiritsa ntchito lupanga ndi uta? Apatseni chakudya ndi madzi kuti adye ndi kumwa kenaka apite kwa mbuye wawo.”
And he said not you must strike [them] down ¿ [those] whom you have taken captive by sword your and by bow your [are] you about to strike down put food and water before them so they may eat and they may drink and they may go to master their.
23 Choncho anawakonzera mphwando lalikulu, ndipo atatsiriza kudya ndi kumwa, anawatumiza kwawo ndipo anabwerera kwa mbuye wawo. Kotero magulu a ankhondo a ku Aramu analeka kuthira nkhondo dziko la Israeli.
And he gave a feast for them a feast great and they ate and they drank and he let go them and they went to master their and not they repeated again [the] marauding bands of Aram to come in [the] land of Israel.
24 Patapita nthawi, Beni-Hadadi mfumu ya Aramu anasonkhanitsa gulu lake lonse la ankhondo, napita kukazungulira mzinda wa Samariya.
And it was after thus and he gathered Ben Hadad [the] king of Aram all army his and he went up and he laid siege on Samaria.
25 Mu mzinda wa Samariya munali njala yoopsa. Ndipo taonani, Aaramu anazungulira mzindawu kwa nthawi yayitali kotero kuti mutu wa bulu ankawugulitsa ndalama za siliva 80, ndipo magalamu 200 a zitosi za nkhunda ankawagulitsa pa mtengo wa masekeli asanu.
And it was a famine great in Samaria and there! [they were] laying siege on it until was [the] head of a donkey for eighty silver and [the] fourth part of the kab (quano *Q(K)*) for five silver.
26 Pamene mfumu inkayenda pa khoma la mzindawo, mayi wina anafuwulira mfumuyo kuti, “Thandizeni mbuye wanga mfumu!”
And he was [the] king of Israel passing by on the wall and a woman she cried out to him saying save! O lord my the king.
27 Mfumu inayankha kuti, “Ngati Yehova sakuthandiza iwe, ine thandizo lako ndingalipeze kuti? Kuchokera ku malo opunthira tirigu kodi? Kuchokera kumalo opsinyira mphesa kodi?”
And he said may not he save you Yahweh from where? will I save you ¿ from the threshing floor or? from the wine-press.
28 Pamenepo mfumuyo inafunsa mayiyo kuti, “Kodi chakuvuta nʼchiyani?” Iye anayankha kuti, “Mayi uyu anandiwuza kuti, ‘Bweretsa mwana wako kuti timudye lero, ndipo mawa tidzadya mwana wangayu.’
And he said to her the king what? [is] to you and she said the woman this she said to me give son your so we may eat him this day and son my we will eat tomorrow.
29 Choncho tinaphika mwana wanga ndi kumudya. Tsiku lotsatira lakelo ine ndinati, ‘Bweretsa mwana wako kuti timudye,’ koma iye anabisa mwana wakeyo.”
And we cooked son my and we ate him and I said to her on the day other give son your so we may eat him and she had hidden son her.
30 Mfumu itamva mawu a mayiyo, inangʼamba mkanjo wake. Pamene inkayenda pa khoma, anthu anayangʼana, ndipo anaona zovala zamʼkati, pakuti anavala chiguduli.
And it was when heard the king [the] words of the woman and he tore clothes his and he [was] passing by on the wall and it saw the people and there! sackcloth [was] on flesh his from inside.
31 Mfumuyo inati, “Mulungu andilange, andilange kwambiri ndikapanda kudula mutu wa Elisa mwana wa Safati lero!”
And he said thus may he do to me God and thus may he add if it will remain standing [the] head of Elisha [the] son of Shaphat on him this day.
32 Tsono Elisa nʼkuti atakhala mʼnyumba mwake, ndipo akuluakulu anali naye limodzi. Mfumu inatuma munthu wina kuti imutsogolere, koma asanafike, Elisa anawuza akuluakuluwo kuti, “Kodi simukuona momwe wopha munthu uja watumizira munthu wina kuti adzadule mutu wanga? Taonani mthengayo akafika, mutseke chitseko ndipo muchigwiritsitse kuti asalowe. Kodi ndikumvawo pambuyo pake si mgugu wa mbuye wake?”
And Elisha [was] sitting in house his and the elders [were] sitting with him and he sent a man from to before him before he came the messenger to him and he - he said to the elders ¿ do you see that he has sent [the] son of the murderer this to remove head my look - when comes the messenger shut the door and you will push him with the door ¿ not [is] [the] sound of [the] feet of master his after him.
33 Elisa akuyankhulabe ndi anthuwo, taonani, wamthengayo anafika kwa iye. Ndipo mfumu inati, “Mavuto amenewa ndi ochokera kwa Yehova. Kodi nʼchifukwa chiyani ine ndiyenera kudikira thandizo lochokera kwa Yehova?”
Still he [was] speaking with them and there! the messenger [was] coming down to him and he said here! this the calamity [is] from with Yahweh why? will I wait for Yahweh still.
