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: “Listen to the word of the Lord. Thus says the Lord: Tomorrow, at this time, one measure of fine wheat flour will be one silver coin, and two measures of barley will be one silver coin, at the gate of Samaria.”
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!”
And one of the leaders, upon whose hand the king leaned, responding to the man of God, said, “Even if the Lord will open the floodgates of heaven, how can what you say possibly be?” And he said, “You will see it with your own eyes, and you will not eat from 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 lepers beside the entrance of the gate. And they said one to another: “Should we choose to stay 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 choose to enter the city, we will die from the famine. And if we remain here, we also will die. Therefore, come and let us flee over to the camp of the Syrians. If they spare us, we will live. But if they choose to kill us, we will die anyway.”
5 Kar kogwen negiwuok ma gidhi e kambi jo-Aram. Kane gichopo e dho kambi, kata mana ngʼat achiel ne onge kanyo,
Therefore, they rose up in the evening, so that they might go to the camp of the Syrians. And when they had arrived at the beginning of the camp of the Syrians, they found no one in that place.
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 indeed, the Lord had caused them to hear, in the camp of Syria, the sound of chariots and horses, and a very numerous army. And they said one to another: “Behold, the king of Israel has paid wages to the kings of the Hittites and of the Egyptians against us. And they will overwhelm 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.
Therefore, they rose up and fled away in the dark. And they left behind their tents and horses and donkeys in the camp. And they fled, desiring to save so much as their own 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.
And so, when these lepers had arrived at the beginning of the camp, they entered one tent, and they ate and drank. And they took from there silver, and gold, and clothing. And they went away and hid it. And they returned again to another tent, and similarly, carrying away from there, they hid it.
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.”
Then they said one to another: “We are not doing the right thing. For this is a day of good news. If we remain silent and refuse to report it until morning, we will be charged with a crime. Come, let us go and report it in the court of the king.”
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.”
And when they had arrived at the gate of the city, they explained to them, saying: “We went into the camp of the Syrians, and we found no one in that place, except horses and donkeys tied, and the tents still standing.”
11 Jorit rangeye nogoyo koko kowinjo wach maberno mi wachno notundo ne joka ruoth.
Therefore, the gatekeepers went and reported it in the palace of the king.
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.’”
And he rose up in the night, and he said to his servants: “I tell you what the Syrians have done to us. They know that we are suffering from famine, and therefore they have gone out from the camp, and they lie hidden in the fields, saying: ‘When they will have gone out from the city, we will capture them alive, and then we will be able to 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 responded: “Let us take the five horses that remain in the city (for there were no more amid the entire multitude of Israel, since the rest had been consumed), and sending, we will be able to explore.”
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.”
Therefore, they brought two horses. And the king sent them into the camp of the Syrians, 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 went away after them, as far as the Jordan. But behold, the entire way was filled with clothing and vessels, which the Syrians had thrown aside when they were disturbed. And the messengers 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.
And the people, going out, pillaged the camp of the Syrians. And one measure of fine wheat flour went for one silver coin, and two measures of barley went for one silver coin, in accord with 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.
Then the king stationed that leader, on whose hand he leaned, at the gate. And the crowd trampled him at the entrance of the gate. And he died, in accord with what the man of God had said when the king had descended 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.”
And this happened in accord with the word of the man of God, which he had spoken to the king, when he said: “Two measures of barley will be one silver coin, and one measure of fine wheat flour will be one silver coin, at this same time tomorrow, at the gate of Samaria.”
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!”
Then that leader had responded to the man of God, and he had said, “Even if the Lord will open the floodgates of heaven, how can what you say possibly happen?” And he said to him, “You will see it with your own eyes, and you will not eat from it.”
20 Kendo mano e gima ne otimorene, nimar ji nomwomore gie dhorangach monyone mi otho.
Therefore, it happened to him just as it had been predicted. For the people trampled him at the gate, and he died.
