< 2 Kings 6 >

1 The sons of the prophets said to Elisha, “See now, the place where we live and meet with you is too small for us.
Hoe o anam-pitokio amy Elisà, Hehe te loho maifitse ama’ay ty fin­dreza’ay fimoneñe ama’o etoañe.
2 Please let us go to the Jordan, and each man take a beam from there, and let’s make us a place there, where we may live.” He answered, “Go!”
Ehe, angao handenà’ay mb’am’Iordaney mb’eo, songa hangalake ty boda’e boak’ ao han­dranjia’ay akiba himoneña’ay. Le hoe re, Akia.
3 One said, “Please be pleased to go with your servants.” He answered, “I will go.”
Le hoe ty raike, Ee te ho no’o ty hindre-lia amo mpitoro’oo. Le hoe ty natoi’e: Homb’eo iraho.
4 So he went with them. When they came to the Jordan, they cut down wood.
Aa le nindreza’e. Ie pok’am’ Iordaney, le namira hatae.
5 But as one was cutting down a tree, the ax head fell into the water. Then he cried out and said, “Alas, my master! For it was borrowed.”
Fe nadebo’ ty raike i boda’ey, le nipitsik’ an-drano ao ty lela’ i feko’ey vaho hoe re, Hoke, talè, nindrameñe ‘nio.
6 The man of God asked, “Where did it fall?” He showed him the place. He cut down a stick, threw it in there, and made the iron float.
Le hoe indatin’ Añaharey, aia ty nijoroboña’e? Le natoro’e aze i nipoha’ey. Aa le nibira hatae kede re nañifik’ aze ey, nampitsikafoñe i viñey.
7 He said, “Take it.” So he put out his hand and took it.
Le hoe re ama’e rambeso. Aa le nahiti’e ty fità’e nandrambe aze.
8 Now the king of Syria was at war against Israel; and he took counsel with his servants, saying, “My camp will be in such and such a place.”
Nialy amy Israele amy zao ty mpanjaka’ i Arame, le nisafiry amo mpitoro’eo, nanao ty hoe; An-koe naho an-koe ao ty hitobeako.
9 The man of God sent to the king of Israel, saying, “Beware that you not pass this place, for the Syrians are coming down there.”
Le nampañitrike mb’ amy mpanjaka’ Israeley mb’eo indatin’ Añaharey, ty hoe: Asoao irehe tsy hiary an-koe eo, amy t’ie homba’ o nte-Ara­meo.
10 The king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God told him and warned him of; and he saved himself there, not once or twice.
Aa le nañirak’ amy toetse natoro naho nahatahata’ indatin’ Añaharey azey vaho nitaòa’e i toetsey, tsy indroe tsy indraike.
11 The king of Syria’s heart was very troubled about this. He called his servants, and said to them, “Will not you show me which of us is for the king of Israel?”
Aa le nahatsimboetse ty arofo’ i mpanjaka’ i Aramey i rahay, le kinoi’e o mpitoro’eo vaho nanoa’e ty hoe: Tsy hatoro’ areo amako hao te ia aman-tika ty mpiamy mpanjaka’ Israeley?
12 One of his servants said, “No, my lord, O king; but Elisha, the prophet who is in Israel, tells the king of Israel the words that you speak in your bedroom.”
Le hoe ty mpitoro’e, Tsie, ry talè mpanjakako; i Elisà, mpitoki’ Israeley ty mitali­ly amy mpanjaka’ Israeley ty entañe saontsie’o añ’efem-pandrea’o ao.
13 He said, “Go and see where he is, that I may send and get him.” He was told, “Behold, he is in Dothan.”
Le hoe re: Akia, rendreho te aia, soa te hampihitrifeko añe ty hangalak’ aze. Le natalily ama’e t’ie e Dotane ao.
14 Therefore he sent horses, chariots, and a great army there. They came by night and surrounded the city.
Aa le nañiraha’e soavala naho sarete vaho ty lahialeñe ama’e, nañarikoboñe i rovay te haleñe.
15 When the servant of the man of God had risen early and gone out, behold, an army with horses and chariots was around the city. His servant said to him, “Alas, my master! What shall we do?”
Aa ie nitroatse maraindray ty mpitoro’ indatin’ Añaharey, naho niavotse, indroy ty valobohòke reketse soavala naho sarete niarikatoke i rovay. Le hoe i mpitoro’ey ama’e, Hankàñe, ry talèko! Akore ty hanoen-tika?
16 He answered, “Do not be afraid, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.”
Le hoe ty natoi’e: Ko hembañe, fa maro ty aman-tika te am’ iereo.
17 Elisha prayed, and said, “LORD, please open his eyes, that he may see.” the LORD opened the young man’s eyes, and he saw; and behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire around Elisha.
Aa le niloloke t’i Elisà nanao ty hoe: Ry Iehovà, ihalaliako, ampibeaho o maso’eo hahatrea; le sinoka’ Iehovà o maso’ i mpi­toro’eio le nahaisake te indroy, nanitsike i vohitsey ty mpiningi-tsoavala naho sareten’ afo niarikatok’ i Elisà.
18 When they came down to him, Elisha prayed to the LORD, and said, “Please strike this people with blindness.” He struck them with blindness according to Elisha’s word.
Aa ie nizotso mb’ ama’e mb’eo o nte-Arameo le nihalaly amy Iehovà t’i Elisà ami’ty hoe: Ehe lafao hagoa ondatio. Aa le pinao’e ty hafè iereo ty amy saontsi’ i Elisày.
19 Elisha said to them, “This is not the way, neither is this the city. Follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom you seek.” He led them to Samaria.
Le hoe t’i Elisà am’ iereo, Tsy ie ty lalañe toy, tsy ie ka ty rova toy; oriho iraho vaho hase­seko mb’ amy ‘ndaty paiae’ areoy. Le kinozozò’e mb’e Somerone mb’eo.
20 When they had come into Samaria, Elisha said, “LORD, open these men’s eyes, that they may see.” The LORD opened their eyes, and they saw; and behold, they were in the middle of Samaria.
Ie amy zao, naho nivotrake e Somerone ao iereo le nanao ty hoe t’i Elisà. Ry Iehovà, sokafo o fihaino ondaty retoañeo, hahaisake. Aa le nampibolanahe’ Iehovà ty fihaino ondaty reo, vaho nahaisake te heheke, am-po’ i Somerone ao.
21 The king of Israel said to Elisha, when he saw them, “My father, shall I strike them? Shall I strike them?”
Le hoe ty mpanjaka’ Israele amy Elisà, ie nioni’e, O aba, ho lafaeko hao? ho zevoñeko ambane hao?
22 He answered, “You shall not strike them. Would you strike those whom you have taken captive with your sword and with your bow? Set bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink, then go to their master.”
Le hoe ty natoi’e: ko lafae’o. Ho nizevoñe’o hao o nitsepahe’o am-pibara naho fale’oo? Anjotso mahakama naho rano, hikamà’e, hinoma’e, himpolie’ iareo mb’ an-talè’ iareo añe.
23 He prepared a great feast for them. After they ate and drank, he sent them away and they went to their master. So the bands of Syria stopped raiding the land of Israel.
Aa le nihalankañe’e takataka, naho nikama naho ninoñe iereo vaho nirahe’e mb’ aman-talè’ iareo añe. Aa le tsy niheo mb’ an-tane Israele mb’eo ka o mpirim­bon-dahindefo’ i Arameo.
24 After this, Benhadad king of Syria gathered all his army, and went up and besieged Samaria.
Ie añe, le natonto’ i Benhadade mpanjaka’ i Arame i valobohò’e iabiy, le nionjomb’eo namandroñe i Some­rone.
25 There was a great famine in Samaria. Behold, they besieged it until a donkey’s head was sold for eighty pieces of silver, and the fourth part of a kab of dove’s dung for five pieces of silver.
Nanilofen-kasalikoañe ty Somerone henane zay; le niarikatoheñe ampara’ te naletake volafoty va­lompolo ty loham-borìke naho volafoty lime ty tain-deho am-pahèfa’ ty kabe.
26 As the king of Israel was passing by on the wall, a woman cried to him, saying, “Help, my lord, O king!”
Nidraidraitse ambone’ i kijoliy ty mpanjaka’ Israele, le nitoreo ty hoe ama’e ty rakemba: Rombaho iraho talèko, mpanjaka.
27 He said, “If the LORD does not help you, where could I get help for you? From the threshing floor, or from the wine press?”
Le hoe re, Naho tsy mandrombak’ azo t’Iehovà, aia ty hañolorako azo? he boak’ an-toem-pamofohañe, ke boak’ am-pipiritan-divay ao?
28 Then the king asked her, “What is your problem?” She answered, “This woman said to me, ‘Give your son, that we may eat him today, and we will eat my son tomorrow.’
Le hoe ty mpanjaka ama’e: Ino o mañolañe azoo. Le hoe ty natoi’e: Nanao ty hoe amako ty rakemba, Atoloro hey i ana-dahi’oy ho hanentika anito le ho hanentika hamaray i ana-dahikoy.
29 So we boiled my son and ate him; and I said to her on the next day, ‘Give up your son, that we may eat him;’ and she has hidden her son.”
Aa le kinetre’ay i ana-dahikoy naho nihane’ay; le hoe ty asako ama’e amy loakandroy, Atoloro ka i ana-dahi’oy hihinanan-tikañe; fe naeta’e i ana-dahi’ey.
30 When the king heard the words of the woman, he tore his clothes. Now he was passing by on the wall, and the people looked, and behold, he had sackcloth underneath on his body.
Ie nahajanjiñe ty enta’ i rakembay i mpanjakay le rinia’e o saro’eo, le nitonjohize’e ty lia’e amy kijoliy, f’ie nandrendrehe’ ondatio, heheke te lamba-gony ty an-tsandri’e.
31 Then he said, “God do so to me, and more also, if the head of Elisha the son of Shaphat stays on him today.”
Le hoe re: Ee te hafetsan’ Añahare amako naho mandikoatse, naho mbe hipetak’ amy Elisà ana’ i Safate ty añ­am­bone’e te anito.
32 But Elisha was sitting in his house, and the elders were sitting with him. Then the king sent a man from before him; but before the messenger came to him, he said to the elders, “Do you see how this son of a murderer has sent to take away my head? Behold, when the messenger comes, shut the door, and hold the door shut against him. Is not the sound of his master’s feet behind him?”
Fe niam­besatse añ’an­jomba’e ao t’i Elisà, naho nitrao-piambesatse ama’e o androanavio; le nañitrike ìrake hiaolo aze mb’eo i mpanjakay fe mbe tsy pok’ eo i nahitrikey, le hoe re amo androanavio: Oni’ areo hao te nañitrife’ ty anam-pamono tia ty lohako? Inao, ie pok’eo i irakey, arindrino i lalañey naho tano mirindriñe ama’e i lalañey; aa tsy mañorik’ aze hao ty fika­tsea­katse­am-pandia’ i tompo’ey?
33 While he was still talking with them, behold, the messenger came down to him. Then he said, “Behold, this evil is from the LORD. Why should I wait for the LORD any longer?”
Ie mbe nisaontsy am’ iereo, le nivo­trak’ ama’e i ìrakey nanao ty hoe, Inao, boak’ am’ Iehovà o hekoheko zao, ino ty mbe handiñisako Iehovà?
