2 Ruodhi 7
1 Elisha nowacho niya, “Winjuru wach ma Jehova Nyasaye. Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: Kiny kar sa maka ma, nengo gorogoro achiel mar mogo ibiro ngʼiewo silingʼ achiel, kendo gorogoro ariyo mar mogo mar shairi bende nongʼiew silingʼ ariyo e dhoranga Samaria.”
Then Elisha said, “Hear the word of the LORD! This is what the LORD says: ‘About this time tomorrow at the gate of Samaria, a seah of fine flour will sell for a shekel, and two seahs of barley will sell for a shekel.’”
2 Jatelo ma ruoth ne yiengore e goke nowachone ngʼat Nyasaye niya, “Winji, kata ka Jehova Nyasaye nyalo yawo dhorangeye mag polo, bende manyalo timore adier?” Elisha nodwoke niya, “Ibiro neno ma gi wengeni iwuon, to ok inicham gimoro amora kuomgi!”
But the officer on whose arm the king leaned answered the man of God, “Look, even if the LORD were to make windows in heaven, could this really happen?” “You will see it with your own eyes,” replied Elisha, “but you will not eat any of it.”
3 Koro ne nitie ji angʼwen ma jodhoho, mane bet e dhoranga dala maduongʼ. Negiwacho e kindgi giwegi niya, “Angʼo momiyo dwabed ka nyaka watho?
Now there were four men with leprosy at the entrance of the city gate, and they said to one another, “Why just sit here until we die?
4 Ka wawacho ni wabiro dhi e dala maduongʼ, to kech ni kuno kendo wabiro tho. To bende ka wabet ka, pod wabiro mana tho. Kuom mano wadhiuru e kambi jo-Aram mondo wachiwre e lwetgi. Ka giweyowa to wanabed mangima, to ka ginegowa to wanatho.”
If we say, ‘Let us go into the city,’ we will die there from the famine in the city; but if we sit here, we will also die. So come now, let us go over to the camp of the Arameans. If they let us live, we will live; if they kill us, we will die.”
5 Kar kogwen negiwuok ma gidhi e kambi jo-Aram. Kane gichopo e dho kambi, kata mana ngʼat achiel ne onge kanyo,
So they arose at twilight and went to the camp of the Arameans. But when they came to the outskirts of the camp, there was not a man to be found.
6 nikech Ruoth Nyasaye nosekelo luoro e chuny jo-Aram ma giwinjo geche, farese kod jolweny mangʼeny, mani nomiyo giwacho e kindgi giwegi niya, “Neyeuru kaka ruodh Israel osengʼiewo pinje mag jo-Hiti gi ruodhi mag Misri mondo omonjwa!”
For the Lord had caused the Arameans to hear the sound of chariots, horses, and a great army, so that they said to one another, “Look, the king of Israel must have hired the kings of the Hittites and Egyptians to attack us.”
7 Kuom mano negia malo kar kogwen ma giringo ka giweyo hembegi, farese kod punde. Negiweyo kambigi gi mwandu duto mondo gitony gires ngimagi.
Thus the Arameans had arisen and fled at twilight, abandoning their tents and horses and donkeys. The camp was intact, and they had run for their lives.
8 Jodhohogo nodhi nyaka dho kambi ma gidonjo e achiel kuom hembego. Negichamo chiemo kendo gimetho bangʼe gitingʼo fedha, dhahabu kod lewni mine gidhi gipandogi. Negidwogo kendo mi gidonjo e hema machielo, ma gikawo gik moko kanyo kendo gidok gipando.
When the lepers reached the edge of the camp, they went into a tent to eat and drink. Then they carried off the silver, gold, and clothing, and went and hid them. On returning, they entered another tent, carried off some items from there, and hid them.
9 Eka negiwacho kendgi giwegi niya, “Ok watim gima kare. Ma en odiechiengʼ mar wach maber, to eka walingʼ-go mana kendwa. Ka warito ma piny oyawore, to wabiro yudo kum. Kuom mano wadhiuru sani sani mondo water wachni ni joka ruoth.”
Finally, they said to one another, “We are not doing what is right. Today is a day of good news. If we are silent and wait until morning light, our sin will overtake us. Now, therefore, let us go and tell the king’s household.”
10 Omiyo negidhi magiluongo jorit rangeye mag dala maduongʼ kendo giwachonegi niya, “Ne wadhi e kambi jo-Aram to ok wayudo kata ngʼato achiel kata dwond ngʼato ne ok wawinjo to mana farese motwe gi punde kod hembe mowe mana kaka ne gin.”
So they went and called out to the gatekeepers of the city, saying, “We went to the Aramean camp and no one was there—not a trace—only tethered horses and donkeys, and the tents were intact.”
11 Jorit rangeye nogoyo koko kowinjo wach maberno mi wachno notundo ne joka ruoth.
The gatekeepers shouted the news, and it was reported to the king’s household.
12 Ruoth nochungʼ malo otienono mowachone jodonge niya “Abiro nyisou gima jo-Aram osetimonwa. Gingʼeyo ni kech omakowa, omiyo giringo gia e kambigi ka gidhi pondo e bungu, ka giparo ni, ‘Jogi biro wuok oko kendo wabiro dhi ma wakawgi duto ka gingima miwadonji e dala maduongʼ.’”
So the king got up in the night and said to his servants, “Let me tell you what the Arameans have done to us. They know we are starving, so they have left the camp to hide in the field, thinking, ‘When they come out of the city, we will take them alive and enter the city.’”
13 Achiel kuom jodonge nodwoko niya, “Yier jomoko odhi e dala maduongʼ mondo okaw farese abich modongʼ kanyo. Ngima joidh faresego biro chalo mana gi ngima jo-Israel mowe ka; adier, gibiro chalo mana gi jo-Israel ma kech kayogi. Kuom mano waorgi mondo gidhi ginon gima timore.”
But one of his servants replied, “Please, have scouts take five of the horses that remain in the city. Their plight will be no worse than all the Israelites who are left here. You can see that all the Israelites here are doomed. So let us send them and find out.”
14 Eka ne giyiero geche lweny ariyo gi faresegi kendo ruoth noorogi luwo bangʼ jolweny mag Aram. Nowachone joriemb gechego niya, “Dhiuru mondo unon-ane gima osetimore.”
Then the scouts took two chariots with horses, and the king sent them after the Aramean army, saying, “Go and see.”
15 Negiluwo bangʼ-gi nyaka aora Jordan mine giyudo ka yo opongʼ gi lewni kod gik moko mane lwar ka jo-Aram ringo ka kihondko ogoyogi. Bangʼ mano jootego noduogo monyiso ruoth gima gisetimo.
And they tracked them as far as the Jordan, and indeed, the whole way was littered with the clothing and equipment the Arameans had thrown off in haste. So the scouts returned and told the king.
16 Eka ji nowuok modhi oyako kambi jo-Aram. Kuom mano nengo gorogoro achiel mar mogo ne en silingʼ achiel to mogo mar shairi gorogoro ariyo nongʼiew silingʼ achiel mana kaka Jehova Nyasaye nosewacho.
Then the people went out and plundered the camp of the Arameans. It was then that a seah of fine flour sold for a shekel, and two seahs of barley sold for a shekel, according to the word of the LORD.
17 Ruoth noketo jatend lweny mane oyiengore goke cha mondo orit dhorangach, to ji nonyone ka gimwomore e dhorangach motho mana kaka ngʼat Nyasaye ne osekoro e kinde mane ruoth obiro neno janabino e ode.
Now the king had appointed the officer on whose arm he leaned to be in charge of the gate, but the people trampled him in the gateway, and he died, just as the man of God had foretold when the king had come to him.
18 Notimore mana kaka ngʼat Nyasaye ne osewacho ni ruoth niya, “Kiny e sa maka ma, nengo mar mogo gorogoro achiel nongʼiew silingʼ achiel to mogo mar shairi gorogoro ariyo nongʼiew silingʼ achiel e dhoranga Samaria.”
It happened just as the man of God had told the king: “About this time tomorrow at the gate of Samaria, two seahs of barley will sell for a shekel, and a seah of fine flour will sell for a shekel.”
19 To jateloni nowachone ngʼat Nyasaye niya, “Winji, kata ka Jehova Nyasaye nyalo yawo dhorangeye mag polo, bende manyalo timore adier?” Ngʼat Nyasaye nodwoke niya, “Ibiro nene gi wangʼi, to ok inicham gimoro amora kuome!”
And the officer had answered the man of God, “Look, even if the LORD were to make windows in heaven, could this really happen?” So Elisha had replied, “You will see it with your own eyes, but you will not eat any of it!”
20 Kendo mano e gima ne otimorene, nimar ji nomwomore gie dhorangach monyone mi otho.
And that is just what happened to him. The people trampled him in the gateway, and he died.
