2 Ruodhi 6
1 Kanyakla mar jonabi nowachone Elisha niya, “Neye, kaka kama wadakie kodini tin.
Now the sons of the prophets said to Elisha: “Behold, the place in which we live before you is too narrow for us.
2 Wadhiuru Jordan mondo ngʼato ka ngʼato otongʼ yien kendo wagergo kama waduto wanyalo dakie.” Nowachonegi niya, “Dhiuru.”
Let us go as far as the Jordan, and let us each take from the forest a piece of timber, so that we may build for ourselves a place to live there.” And he said, “Go.”
3 Eka achiel kuom jonabi nowachone Elisha niya, “Donge ber idhi kodwa?” Elisha nodwoke niya, “Abiro dhi kodu.”
And one of them said, “Then you, too, should go with your servants.” And he answered, “I will go.”
4 Kuom mano nodhi kodgi. Negidhi Jordan ma gichako tongʼo yien.
And he went with them. And when they had arrived at the Jordan, they were cutting down wood.
5 To kane achiel kuomgi ne tongʼo yien, leye nolwar e pi. Noywak niya, “Yaye ruodha, korka ne en le mokwa!”
Then it happened that, while someone was cutting timber, the iron of the ax fell into the water. And he cried out and said: “Alas, alas, alas, my lord! For this thing was borrowed.”
6 Ngʼat Nyasaye nopenje niya, Ne olwar gi kanye? Kane onyise kama ne olwarie, Elisha nongʼado luth, monyume kanyo kendo wi le nolewore.
Then the man of God said, “Where did it fall?” And he indicated to him the place. Then he cut off a piece of wood, and he threw it in. And the iron floated up.
7 Eka nowachone niya, “Kawe.” Eka ngʼatno norieyo lwete mokawe.
And he said, “Take it.” And he extended his hand, and took it.
8 Ruoth Aram nenie e lweny gi jo-Israel. Bangʼ kane osewinjore gi jodonge, nowacho niya, “Abiro goyo kambina kama chalo kama.”
Now the king of Syria was fighting against Israel, and he took counsel with his servants, saying, “In this and that place, let us set up an ambush.”
9 Ngʼat Nyasaye nooro wach ne ruodh Israel kama: “Bed motangʼ kikalo kanyo nikech jo-Aram dhi buto kuno.”
And so the man of God sent to the king of Israel, saying: “Take care not to pass by that place. For the Syrians are there in ambush.”
10 Omiyo ruodh Israel nokalo kanyo kotangʼ kaluwore gi wach mane ngʼat Nyasaye onyise. Kinde ka kinde Elisha ne siemo ruoth, mondo obed motangʼ ne kuondego.
And so the king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God had told him, and he prevented it. And he preserved himself, concerning that place, not merely once or twice.
11 Wachni nochwanyo chuny ruodh Aram. Noluongo jodonge mowachonegi niya, “Bende unyalo wachona ngʼat ma jakorwa makonyo ruodh Israel?”
And the heart of the king of Syria was disturbed over this matter. And calling together his servants, he said, “Why have you not revealed to me the one who is betraying me to the king of Israel?”
12 Achiel kuom jodonge nowacho niya, “Ruodha onge ngʼatwa moro makonye, makmana Elisha janabi man Israel ema nyiso ruodh Israel gik moko duto miwacho kata ka in e odi mar nindo.”
And one of his servants said: “By no means, my lord the king! Rather it is the prophet Elisha, who is in Israel, who is revealing to the king of Israel every word whatsoever that you will speak in your conclave.”
13 Ruoth nogolo chik kawacho niya, “Dhiuru mondo udwar kama entie mondo adhi aor ji omake.” Wach noduogo kama: “En Dothan.”
And he said to them, “Go, and see where he is, so that I may send and capture him.” And they reported to him, saying, “Behold, he is in Dothan.”
14 Eka ne ooro farese, geche lweny kod jolweny motegno kuno. Negidhi kuno gotieno ma gilworo dala maduongʼno.
Therefore, he sent horses, and chariots, and experienced soldiers to that place. And when they had arrived in the night, they encircled the city.
15 Kane jatich ngʼat Nyasaye ochiewo mo mondo kiny gokinyi, jolweny man-gi farese kod geche lweny ne oseluoro dala maduongʼno. Jatich nopenjo niya, “Yaye, ruodha, wabiro timore nade?”
Now the servant of the man of God, arising at first light, went out and saw the army all around the city, with horses and chariots. And he reported it to him, saying: “Alas, alas, alas, my lord! What shall we do?”
16 Janabi nodwoke niya, “Kik ubed maluor, nimar joma ni kodwa ngʼeny moloyo joma ni kodgi.”
But he responded: “Do not be afraid. For there are more with us than with them.”
17 Kendo Elisha nolemo niya, “Jehova Nyasaye, yaw wangʼe mondo onen.” Eka Jehova Nyasaye noyawo wangʼ jatijno, kendo noneno farese kod geche lweny ewi got kolworo Elisha.
And when Elisha had prayed, he said, “O Lord, open the eyes of this one, so that he may see.” And the Lord opened the eyes of the servant, and he saw. And behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire, all around Elisha.
18 Kane oneno wasigu kalor biro machiegni kode, Elisha nolamo Jehova Nyasaye niya, “Lok jogi muofu.” Omiyo noloko jogi muofni mana kaka Elisha nosekwayo.
Then truly, the enemies descended to him. But Elisha prayed to the Lord, saying: “Strike, I beg you, this people with blindness.” And the Lord struck them, so that they would not see, in accord with the word of Elisha.
19 Elisha nokonegi niya, “Ma ok en yo kendo ma ok en dala maduongʼ. Luw-uru bangʼa kendo abiro terou nyaka ir ngʼat ma udwarono.” Kendo noterogi nyaka Samaria.
Then Elisha said to them: “This is not the way, and this is not the city. Follow me, and I will reveal to you the man whom you are seeking.” Then he led them into Samaria.
20 Bangʼ kane gisedonjo e dala maduongʼno, Elisha nowacho niya, “Jehova Nyasaye yaw wangʼ jogi mondo ginen.” Eka Jehova Nyasaye noyawo wengegi kendo ka wengegi noyawore, to negiyudo ka gin Samaria.
And when they had entered into Samaria, Elisha said, “O Lord, open the eyes of these ones, so that they may see.” And the Lord opened their eyes, and they saw themselves to be in the midst of Samaria.
21 Kane ruodh Israel onenogi nopenjo Elisha niya, Wuora, anyalo negogi?
And the king of Israel, when he had seen them, said to Elisha, “My father, should I not strike them?”
22 Nodwoke niya, “Kik ineg-gi. Bende dineg joma isemako gi liganglani kata tongʼ? Migi chiemo gicham kod pi mondo gimodhi, eka mondo gidog ir ruodhgi.”
And he said: “You should not strike them. For you did not capture them with your sword or bow, so that you might strike them. Instead, set bread and water before them, so that they may eat and drink, and then go to their lord.”
23 Omiyo ne olosonegi nyasi maduongʼ kendo kane gisetieko chiemo kod metho, ne oorogi ma gidok ir ruodhgi. Kuom oganda lweny mag Aram noweyo monjo piny Israel.
And a great preparation of foods was placed before them. And they ate and drank. And he dismissed them. And they went away to their lord. And the robbers of Syria no longer came into the land of Israel.
24 Bangʼ ndalo moko, Ben-Hadad ruodh Aram nochoko jolweny mage duto momonjo Samaria.
Now it happened that, after these things, Benhadad, the king of Syria, gathered together his entire army, and he ascended and was besieging Samaria.
25 Negilworo dalano amingʼa ma kech maduongʼ mane omako Samaria nomedore ma wi punda ne ingʼiewo gi fedha ma pekne romo kilo achiel, to ondongʼ mar owuoch akuru ningʼiewo gi fedha ma pekne romo achiel kuom apar mar kilo.
And a great famine occurred in Samaria. And it was blockaded for a long time, until the head of a donkey was sold for eighty pieces of silver, and one fourth part of a pint of pigeons’ dung sold for five silver coins.
26 Kane ruodh Israel kalo machiegni gi ohinga mar dala maduongʼno, dhako moro noywak malit kawacho niya, “Konya, ruodha!”
And as the king of Israel was passing by the wall, a certain woman cried out to him, saying, “Save me, my lord the king!”
27 Ruoth nodwoke niya, “Ka Jehova Nyasaye ok konyi, ere kama dayudnie konyruok.” Dobed kar dino cham, koso kar biyo divai?
And he said: “If the Lord does not save you, how am I able to save you? From the grain floor, or from the wine press?” And the king said to her, “What is the matter with you?” And she responded:
28 Eka nopenje niya, “Angʼo marach?” To nodwoke niya, “Dhakoni nowachona mondo agol wuoda mondo wacham kawuono to kiny en bende nogol wuode mondo wacham.”
“This woman said to me: ‘Give your son, so that we may eat him today, and we will eat my son tomorrow.’
29 Omiyo ne watedo wuoda kendo wachamo. Kinyne ne awachone niya, In bende gol wuodi mi wacham, kare en to nosepando wuode.
Therefore, we cooked my son, and we ate him. And I said to her on the next day, ‘Give your son, so that we may eat him.’ But she concealed her son.”
30 Kane ruoth owinjo weche dhakono noyiecho lepe. Wachni notimore ka ruoth ne wuotho ewi ohinga, mi ji nongʼiye, moneno korwako pien gugru ei lepe.
When the king had heard this, he tore his garments, and he passed along the wall. And all the people saw the haircloth that he had worn underneath, beside his flesh.
31 Nowacho niya, “Mad Nyasaye chwada malit ka dipo kawuono ok angʼado wi Elisha wuod Shafat oko!”
And the king said, “May God do these things to me, and may he add these other things, if the head of Elisha, the son of Shaphat, will remain on him this day!”
32 Koro noyudo Elisha obet e ode ka en gi jodonge. Ruoth nooro jootene motelo e nyime, to kane pok ochopo, Elisha nowachone jodonge niya, “Donge uneno ka koro janekni oro ngʼato mondo obi onega? Winjuru, ka jaote ochopo, to ulor dhoot matek ma kik odonji, nimar ruodhe luwo bangʼe machiegni.”
Now Elisha was sitting in his house, and the elders were sitting with him. And so he sent a man ahead. And before that messenger arrived, he said to the elders: “Do you not know that this son of a murderer is sending someone to cut off my head? Therefore, watch, and when the messenger arrives, close the door. And you shall not permit him to enter. For behold, the sound of his lord’s feet is behind him.”
33 Kane pod owuoyonegi, jaote nochopo ire. Kendo ruoth nowachone niya, “Masirani oa mana kuom Jehova Nyasaye, omiyo onge tiende medo geno kuom Jehova Nyasaye.”
While he was still speaking to them, the messenger appeared who was sent to him. And he said: “Behold, such a great evil is from the Lord! What more should I expect from the Lord?”
