< 2 Kings 4 >

1 Now a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried out to Elisha, saying, “Your servant my husband is dead. You know that your servant feared the LORD. Now the creditor has come to take for himself my two children to be slaves.”
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.”
2 Elisha said to her, “What should I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in the house?” She said, “Your servant has nothing in the house, except a pot of oil.”
Elisha nodwoke niya, “Ere kaka anyalo konyi? Nyisa ane angʼo ma in-go e odi?” Nodwoke niya, “Jatichni onge gimoro amora makmana mo matin.”
3 Then he said, “Go, borrow empty containers from all your neighbors. Do not borrow just a few containers.
Elisha nowachone niya, “Dhiyo mondo ikwa joma udakgo machiegni mondo omiyi dapige man nono, kendo kik ikwa manok.
4 Go in and shut the door on you and on your sons, and pour oil into all those containers; and set aside those which are full.”
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.”
5 So she went from him, and shut the door on herself and on her sons. They brought the containers to her, and she poured oil.
Omiyo dhakono nodhi moloro dhoot ka en kaachiel gi yawuote. Negigemone agulni kendo en to nosiko kopongʼogi gi mo.
6 When the containers were full, she said to her son, “Bring me another container.” He said to her, “There is not another container.” Then the oil stopped flowing.
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.
7 Then she came and told the man of God. He said, “Go, sell the oil, and pay your debt; and you and your sons live on the rest.”
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.”
8 One day Elisha went to Shunem, where there was a prominent woman; and she persuaded him to eat bread. So it was, that as often as he passed by, he turned in there to eat bread.
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.
9 She said to her husband, “See now, I perceive that this is a holy man of God who passes by us continually.
Nowachone chwore niya, “Angʼeyo ni ngʼat ma jabiro ka en ngʼat Nyasaye maler.
10 Please, let’s make a little room on the roof. Let’s set a bed, a table, a chair, and a lamp stand for him there. When he comes to us, he can stay there.”
Wagerne ot moro ewi odwa ka mondo waketne kitanda, mesa, kom kod taya mondo oyweye e kinde duto ma obiro ka.”
11 One day he came there, and he went to the room and lay there.
Chiengʼ moro achiel kane Elisha obiro, nodhi e ot mane oselosne cha, kendo nonindo koyweyo kanyo.
12 He said to Gehazi his servant, “Call this Shunammite.” When he had called her, she stood before him.
Ne owacho ne jatichne Gehazi niya, “Luongna chi Shunam-no.” Omiyo noluonge mi dhakono nobiro mochungʼ e nyime.
13 He said to him, “Say now to her, ‘Behold, you have cared for us with all this care. What is to be done for you? Would you like to be spoken for to the king, or to the captain of the army?’” She answered, “I dwell among my own people.”
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.”
14 He said, “What then is to be done for her?” Gehazi answered, “Most certainly she has no son, and her husband is old.”
Elisha nopenjo Gehazi niya, “Angʼo ma onego timne?” Gehazi nodwoke niya, “Oonge wuowi kendo chwore bende oseti.”
15 He said, “Call her.” When he had called her, she stood in the door.
Eka Elisha nokone niya, “Luonge.” Omiyo noluonge mochungʼ e wangʼ dhoot.
16 He said, “At this season next year, you will embrace a son.” She said, “No, my lord, you man of God, do not lie to your servant.”
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!”
17 The woman conceived, and bore a son at that season when the time came around, as Elisha had said to her.
Dhakono nomako ich kendo kane ochopo higa machielo e kinde machal kamano, nonywolo wuowi mana kaka Elisha nowachone.
18 When the child was grown, one day he went out to his father to the reapers.
Nyathino nodongo kendo chiengʼ moro achiel nodhi ir wuon, mane nigi jokeyo.
19 He said to his father, “My head! My head!” He said to his servant, “Carry him to his mother.”
Noywak kodhi ir wuon niya, “Wiya bara! Wiya bara!” Wuon mare nowachone jotichne niya, “Tingʼeuru kendo utere ir min-gi.”
20 When he had taken him and brought him to his mother, he sat on her knees until noon, and then died.
Kane jotich osetingʼe motere ir min mare, wuowino nonindo e tie min nyaka odiechiengʼ tir, eka notho.
21 She went up and laid him on the man of God’s bed, and shut the door on him, and went out.
Dhakono nokawo nyathino modhi opielo e kitanda jatich Nyasaye, eka noloro dhoot mi owuok.
22 She called to her husband and said, “Please send me one of the servants, and one of the donkeys, that I may run to the man of God and come again.”
Ne oluongo chwore mi owachone niya, “Yie ior achiel kuom jotich okelna punda mondo adhigo ir ngʼat Nyasaye mapiyo kaka nyalore eka aduog piyo.”
23 He said, “Why would you want to go to him today? It is not a new moon or a Sabbath.” She said, “It’s all right.”
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.”
24 Then she saddled a donkey, and said to her servant, “Drive, and go forward! Do not slow down for me, unless I ask you to.”
Dhakono nosembo pundano kendo nowachone jatichne niya, “Tel nyima kendo kik irita makmana kawachoni.”
25 So she went, and came to the man of God to Mount Carmel. When the man of God saw her afar off, he said to Gehazi his servant, “Behold, there is the Shunammite.
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!
26 Please run now to meet her, and ask her, ‘Is it well with you? Is it well with your husband? Is it well with your child?’” She answered, “It is well.”
Ringi idhi iromne mondo ipenje ni, ‘Bende in kare? Chwori bende nikare? To nyathi nikare?’” Dhakono nodwoke niya, “Gik moko duto nikare.”
27 When she came to the man of God to the hill, she caught hold of his feet. Gehazi came near to thrust her away; but the man of God said, “Leave her alone, for her soul is troubled within her; and the LORD has hidden it from me, and has not told me.”
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.
28 Then she said, “Did I ask you for a son, my lord? Did not I say, ‘Do not deceive me’?”
Dhakono nopenje niya, “Ruodha, bende dine akwayie nyathi ma wuowi? Donge ne akweri ni kik imiya abed gi geno?”
29 Then he said to Gehazi, “Tuck your cloak into your belt, take my staff in your hand, and go your way. If you meet any man, do not greet him; and if anyone greets you, do not answer him again. Then lay my staff on the child’s face.”
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.”
30 The child’s mother said, “As the LORD lives, and as your soul lives, I will not leave you.” So he arose, and followed her.
To min nyathi nowacho kama, “Akwongʼora gi nying Jehova Nyasaye kod nyingi iwuon ni ok anaweyi.” Omiyo noa malo moluwo dhakono.
31 Gehazi went ahead of them, and laid the staff on the child’s face; but there was no voice and no hearing. Therefore he returned to meet him, and told him, “The child has not awakened.”
Gehazi notelonigi moriwo ludhno e lela wangʼ nyathi, to ne ok chunye odwogo. Omiyo Gehazi nodok ir Elisha mowachone niya, “Wuowi pok ochier.”
32 When Elisha had come into the house, behold, the child was dead, and lying on his bed.
Kane Elisha ochopo e odno wuowi pod ne nindo e kitandane.
33 He went in therefore, and shut the door on them both, and prayed to the LORD.
Ne odonjo e ot mi oloro dhoot modongʼ kende gi nyathino mondo olam Jehova Nyasaye.
34 He went up and lay on the child, and put his mouth on his mouth, and his eyes on his eyes, and his hands on his hands. He stretched himself on him; and the child’s flesh grew warm.
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.
35 Then he returned, and walked in the house once back and forth, then went up and stretched himself out on him. Then the child sneezed seven times, and the child opened his eyes.
Elisha nochungʼ mowuotho e odno koni gi koni kendo ochako dok moriere kuome e kitanda. Nyathino nogir nyadibiriyo mi wengene noyawore.
36 He called Gehazi, and said, “Call this Shunammite!” So he called her. When she had come in to him, he said, “Take up your son.”
Elisha noluongo Gehazi mowachone niya, “Luong chi Shunem-cha.” Kendo Gehazi notimo kamano. Kane chi Shunam cha obiro, Elisha nowachone niya, “Kaw wuodi.”
37 Then she went in, fell at his feet, and bowed herself to the ground; then she picked up her son, and went out.
Dhakono nodonjo e ot mogoyo chonge e tiend Elisha mi okulore nyaka e lowo. Bangʼ mano nokawo wuode mi odhi.
38 Elisha came again to Gilgal. There was a famine in the land; and the sons of the prophets were sitting before him; and he said to his servant, “Get the large pot, and boil stew for the sons of the prophets.”
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.”
39 One went out into the field to gather herbs, and found a wild vine, and gathered a lap full of wild gourds from it, and came and cut them up into the pot of stew; for they did not recognize them.
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.
40 So they poured out for the men to eat. As they were eating some of the stew, they cried out and said, “Man of God, there is death in the pot!” And they could not eat it.
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!”
41 But he said, “Then bring meal.” He threw it into the pot; and he said, “Serve it to the people, that they may eat.” And there was nothing harmful in the pot.
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.
42 A man from Baal Shalishah came, and brought the man of God some bread of the first fruits: twenty loaves of barley and fresh ears of grain in his sack. Elisha said, “Give to the people, that they may eat.”
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.”
43 His servant said, “What, should I set this before a hundred men?” But he said, “Give it to the people, that they may eat; for the LORD says, ‘They will eat, and will have some left over.’”
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.’”
44 So he set it before them and they ate and had some left over, according to the LORD’s word.
Eka ne omiyogi chiemogo, negichamo ma giweyo moko kodongʼ kaluwore gi wach Jehova Nyasaye.
