2 Ruodhi 4

1 Dhako moro mane chwore otho ma chworeno ne en achiel kuom kanyakla mag jonabi notero ywakne ne Elisha niya, “Jatichni ma en chwora otho kendo ingʼeyo ni ne oluoro Jehova Nyasaye. To koro sani, jabendho mane en-gi gope dwaro kawo yawuota ariyo mondo obed wasumbini mage.”

Now there cried a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets unto Elisha, saying: 'Thy servant my husband is dead; and thou knowest that thy servant did fear the LORD; and the creditor is come to take unto him my two children to be bondmen.'

2 Elisha nodwoke niya, “Ere kaka anyalo konyi? Nyisa ane angʼo ma in-go e odi?” Nodwoke niya, “Jatichni onge gimoro amora makmana mo matin.”

And Elisha said unto her: 'What shall I do for thee? tell me; what hast thou in the house?' And she said: 'Thy handmaid hath not any thing in the house, save a pot of oil.'

3 Elisha nowachone niya, “Dhiyo mondo ikwa joma udakgo machiegni mondo omiyi dapige man nono, kendo kik ikwa manok.

Then he said: 'Go, borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbours, even empty vessels; borrow not a few.

4 Bangʼ mano donjuru e ot in kaachiel gi yawuoti kendo ulor dhoot. Ol morno e agulnigo duto, kendo ka moro ka moro osepongʼ, to iket tenge.”

And thou shalt go in, and shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons, and pour out into all those vessels; and thou shalt set aside that which is full.'

5 Omiyo dhakono nodhi moloro dhoot ka en kaachiel gi yawuote. Negigemone agulni kendo en to nosiko kopongʼogi gi mo.

So she went from him, and shut the door upon her and upon her sons; they brought the vessels to her, and she poured out.

6 Kane agulnigo duto osepongʼ ne owachone achiel kuom yawuote niya, “Kelna machielo.” Nodwoke niya, “Onge agulu moro makoro odongʼ.” E sa nogono mo noweyo chwer.

And it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said unto her son: 'Bring me yet a vessel.' And he said unto her: 'There is not a vessel more.' And the oil stayed.

7 Dhakono nodhi ir ngʼat Nyasaye mowachone gima osetimore. Eka ngʼat Nyasaye nowachone niya, “Dhiyo mondo ilok modhigo pesa kendo ichulgo gope ma in-go. In kod yawuoti unyalo konyoru gi mago modongʼ.”

Then she came and told the man of God. And he said: 'Go, sell the oil, and pay thy debt, and live thou and thy sons of the rest.'

8 Chiengʼ moro achiel Elisha nodhi Shunem. Dhako moro ma jamoko ahinya mane odak e pinyno nokwaye mondo oraw e ode mondo ochamie gimoro. Omiyo kinde duto mane oyudo okalo kanyo, norawo e odno mondo ochiem.

And it fell on a day, that Elisha passed to Shunem, where was a great woman; and she constrained him to eat bread. And so it was, that as oft as he passed by, he turned in thither to eat bread.

9 Nowachone chwore niya, “Angʼeyo ni ngʼat ma jabiro ka en ngʼat Nyasaye maler.

And she said unto her husband: 'Behold now, I perceive that this is a holy man of God, that passeth by us continually.

10 Wagerne ot moro ewi odwa ka mondo waketne kitanda, mesa, kom kod taya mondo oyweye e kinde duto ma obiro ka.”

Let us make, I pray thee, a little chamber on the roof; and let us set for him there a bed, and a table, and a stool, and a candlestick; and it shall be, when he cometh to us, that he shall turn in thither.'

11 Chiengʼ moro achiel kane Elisha obiro, nodhi e ot mane oselosne cha, kendo nonindo koyweyo kanyo.

And it fell on a day, that he came thither, and he turned into the upper chamber and lay there.

12 Ne owacho ne jatichne Gehazi niya, “Luongna chi Shunam-no.” Omiyo noluonge mi dhakono nobiro mochungʼ e nyime.

And he said to Gehazi his servant: 'Call this Shunammite.' And when he had called her, she stood before him.

13 Elisha nowachone Gehazi niya, “Nyis dhakono ni, ‘Kaka isekawo tingʼwani, koro en angʼo ma dwatimni? Dibedie gi kwayo moro ma dwatimni e nyim ruoth kata jatend lweny?’” To dhakono nodwoko niya, “Adak gi kwe e kind ogandana.”

And he said unto him: 'Say now unto her: Behold, thou hast been careful for us with all this care; what is to be done for thee? wouldest thou be spoken for to the king, or to the captain of the host?' And she answered: 'I dwell among mine own people.'

14 Elisha nopenjo Gehazi niya, “Angʼo ma onego timne?” Gehazi nodwoke niya, “Oonge wuowi kendo chwore bende oseti.”

And he said: 'What then is to be done for her?' And Gehazi answered: 'Verily she hath no son, and her husband is old.'

15 Eka Elisha nokone niya, “Luonge.” Omiyo noluonge mochungʼ e wangʼ dhoot.

And he said: 'Call her.' And when he had called her, she stood in the door.

16 Elisha nowachone niya, “E kinde ma kama e higa mabiro, ibiro tingʼo nyathi ma wuowi e badi.” Dhakono nowachone niya, “Ruodha, kik iwuond jatichni, yaye ngʼat Nyasaye!”

And he said: 'At this season, when the time cometh round, thou shalt embrace a son.' And she said: 'Nay, my lord, thou man of God, do not lie unto thy handmaid.'

17 Dhakono nomako ich kendo kane ochopo higa machielo e kinde machal kamano, nonywolo wuowi mana kaka Elisha nowachone.

And the woman conceived, and bore a son at that season, when the time came round, as Elisha had said unto her.

18 Nyathino nodongo kendo chiengʼ moro achiel nodhi ir wuon, mane nigi jokeyo.

And when the child was grown, it fell on a day, that he went out to his father to the reapers.

19 Noywak kodhi ir wuon niya, “Wiya bara! Wiya bara!” Wuon mare nowachone jotichne niya, “Tingʼeuru kendo utere ir min-gi.”

And he said unto his father: 'My head, my head.' And he said to his servant: 'Carry him to his mother.'

20 Kane jotich osetingʼe motere ir min mare, wuowino nonindo e tie min nyaka odiechiengʼ tir, eka notho.

And when he had taken him, and brought him to his mother, he sat on her knees till noon, and then died.

21 Dhakono nokawo nyathino modhi opielo e kitanda jatich Nyasaye, eka noloro dhoot mi owuok.

And she went up, and laid him on the bed of the man of God, and shut the door upon him, and went out.

22 Ne oluongo chwore mi owachone niya, “Yie ior achiel kuom jotich okelna punda mondo adhigo ir ngʼat Nyasaye mapiyo kaka nyalore eka aduog piyo.”

And she called unto her husband, and said: 'Send me, I pray thee, one of the servants, and one of the asses, that I may run to the man of God, and come back.'

23 To nopenje niya, “Angʼo momiyo idwaro dhi ire kawuono, to pok ochopo Sawo mar Dwe Manyien kata Sabato?” En to nodwoke niya, “Onge rach moro.”

And he said: Wherefore wilt thou go to him today? it is neither new moon nor sabbath.' And she said: 'It shall be well.'

24 Dhakono nosembo pundano kendo nowachone jatichne niya, “Tel nyima kendo kik irita makmana kawachoni.”

Then she saddled an ass, and said to her servant: 'Drive, and go forward; slacken me not the riding, except I bid thee.'

25 Eka nodhi motundo ir ngʼat Nyasaye e got Karmel. Kane onene gichien kobiro, ngʼat Nyasaye ne okone jatichne ma Gehazi niya, “Ne! Chi Shunam cha biro!

So she went, and came unto the man of God to mount Carmel. And it came to pass, when the man of God saw her afar off, that he said to Gehazi his servant: 'Behold, yonder is that Shunammite.

26 Ringi idhi iromne mondo ipenje ni, ‘Bende in kare? Chwori bende nikare? To nyathi nikare?’” Dhakono nodwoke niya, “Gik moko duto nikare.”

Run, I pray thee, now to meet her, and say unto her: Is it well with thee? is it well with thy husband? is it well with the child?' And she answered: 'It is well.'

27 To kane ochopo ir ngʼat Nyasaye e got, nopodho e tiende, Gehazi ne obiro gole kanyo, to ngʼat Nyasaye nokwero Gehazi niya, Weye! En kod lit e chunye, makmana Jehova Nyasaye osepandona wachni kendo ok osenyisa gima omiyo.

And when she came to the man of God to the hill, she caught hold of his feet. And Gehazi came near to thrust her away; but the man of God said: 'Let her alone; for her soul is bitter within her; and the LORD hath hid it from me, and hath not told Me.'

28 Dhakono nopenje niya, “Ruodha, bende dine akwayie nyathi ma wuowi? Donge ne akweri ni kik imiya abed gi geno?”

Then she said: 'Did I desire a son of my lord? did I not say: Do not deceive me?'

29 Eka Elisha nokone Gehazi niya, “Ngʼwan lepi, kaw ludha kendo ichak wuoth. Kik imos ngʼato angʼata miromogo e yo. Kichopo to iriw ludhani e lela wangʼ nyathi.”

Then he said to Gehazi: 'Gird up thy loins, and take my staff in thy hand, and go thy way; if thou meet any man, salute him not; and if any salute thee, answer him not; and lay my staff upon the face of the child.'

30 To min nyathi nowacho kama, “Akwongʼora gi nying Jehova Nyasaye kod nyingi iwuon ni ok anaweyi.” Omiyo noa malo moluwo dhakono.

And the mother of the child said: 'As the LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee.' And he arose, and followed her.

31 Gehazi notelonigi moriwo ludhno e lela wangʼ nyathi, to ne ok chunye odwogo. Omiyo Gehazi nodok ir Elisha mowachone niya, “Wuowi pok ochier.”

And Gehazi passed on before them, and laid the staff upon the face of the child; but there was neither voice, nor hearing. Wherefore he returned to meet him, and told him, saying: 'The child is not awaked.'

32 Kane Elisha ochopo e odno wuowi pod ne nindo e kitandane.

And when Elisha was come into the house, behold, the child was dead, and laid upon his bed.

33 Ne odonjo e ot mi oloro dhoot modongʼ kende gi nyathino mondo olam Jehova Nyasaye.

He went in therefore, and shut the door upon them twain, and prayed unto the LORD.

34 Eka ne osudo e kitanda ma oriere kuom wuowino, ka dhoge ochomo dhoge, wangʼe bende ochomo wangʼe kendo lwete kuom lwet nyathi. Kane oyudo oriere kuom nyathino, dend nyathino nochako yudo liet.

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 he stretched himself upon him; and the flesh of the child waxed warm.

35 Elisha nochungʼ mowuotho e odno koni gi koni kendo ochako dok moriere kuome e kitanda. Nyathino nogir nyadibiriyo mi wengene noyawore.

Then he returned, and walked in the house once to and fro; and went up, and stretched himself upon him; and the child sneezed seven times, and the child opened his eyes.

36 Elisha noluongo Gehazi mowachone niya, “Luong chi Shunem-cha.” Kendo Gehazi notimo kamano. Kane chi Shunam cha obiro, Elisha nowachone niya, “Kaw wuodi.”

And he called Gehazi, and said: 'Call this Shunammite.' So he called her. And when she was come in unto him, he said: 'Take up thy son.'

37 Dhakono nodonjo e ot mogoyo chonge e tiend Elisha mi okulore nyaka e lowo. Bangʼ mano nokawo wuode mi odhi.

Then she went in, and fell at his feet, and bowed down to the ground; and she took up her son, and went out.

38 Elisha noduogo Gilgal kendo kech ne omako piny. Kane kanyakla mar jonabi obiro nene nowachone jatichne niya, “Ket agulu maduongʼ mondo ilos kado ne jowetegi.”

And Elisha came again to Gilgal; and there was a dearth in the land; and the sons of the prophets were sitting before him; and he said unto his servant: 'Set on the great pot, and seethe pottage for the sons of the prophets.'

39 Achiel kuom jonabigo nodhi ngʼweto e pewe ma giyudo alode makech kod mzabibu ma ok nyal cham; kendo nochoko olembe mage motingʼogi e lawe. Kane odwogo nongʼadogi moketogi ei aguch tedo, kata kamano onge ngʼama nongʼeyo ni gin angʼo.

And one went out into the field to gather herbs, and found a wild vine, and gathered thereof wild gourds his lap full, and came and shred them into the pot of pottage; for they knew them not.

40 Bangʼ mano, ne ool kadoni ne jonabigi, to kane gichako chiemo, ne giywak niya, “Yaye ngʼat Nyasaye, tho ni e agulu kendo ne ok ginyal chame!”

So they poured out for the men to eat. And it came to pass, as they were eating of the pottage, that they cried out, and said: 'O man of God, there is death in the pot.' And they could not eat thereof.

41 Elisha nowacho niya, “Keluru mogo matin.” Kendo kane okiro mogono e agulu nowacho niya, “Koro tokeuru ne ji mondo ochame.” Bangʼ mano koro ne onge gima kech ei agulu.

But he said: 'Then bring meal.' And he cast it into the pot; and he said: 'Pour out for the people, that they may eat.' And there was no harm in the pot.

42 Ngʼato nobiro koa Baal-Shalisha, mokelo ne ngʼat Nyasaye makati piero ariyo mag shairi mane otedi gi cham mokwongo oka, kaachiel gi kothe mokwongo. Elisha nowacho niya, “Migi ji mondo ochamgi.”

And there came a man from Baal-shalishah, and brought the man of God bread of the first-fruits, twenty loaves of barley, and fresh ears of corn in his sack. And he said: 'Give unto the people, that they may eat.'

43 Jatichne nopenjo niya, “Ere kaka daket chiemo matin-gi ne ji mia achiel?” Elisha nomedo mana wachone niya, “Mi ji chiemo mondo ocham. Nimar Jehova Nyasaye wacho kama: ‘Gibiro chiemo kendo chiemo moko biro dongʼ.’”

And his servant said: 'How should I set this before a hundred men?' But he said: 'Give the people, that they may eat; for thus saith the LORD: They shall eat, and shall leave thereof.'

44 Eka ne omiyogi chiemogo, negichamo ma giweyo moko kodongʼ kaluwore gi wach Jehova Nyasaye.

So he set it before them, and they did eat, and left thereof, according to the word of the LORD.
