2 Kings 7
1 Elisha said, “Hear the LORD’s word. The LORD says, ‘Tomorrow about this time a seah of fine flour will be sold for a shekel, and two seahs of barley for a shekel, in the gate of Samaria.’”
Ịlaisha zara sị ya, “Nụrụ okwu Onyenwe anyị. Nʼihi na otu a ka Onyenwe anyị na-ekwu, Nʼoge dịka mgbe a echi, a ga-ere otu akpa nta ụtụ ọka otu shekel, rekwaa akpa nta ọka balị abụọ otu shekel nʼọnụ ụzọ ama obodo Sameria.”
2 Then the captain on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God, and said, “Behold, if the LORD made windows in heaven, could this thing be?” He said, “Behold, you will see it with your eyes, but will not eat of it.”
Ọchịagha ahụ, nke eze na-adabere nʼaka ya, sịrị onye nke Chineke, “Lee, a sịkwarị na Onyenwe anyị emeghee oghere idee nke eluigwe, nke a ọ pụrụ ime?” Ma Ịlaisha zara ya, “Ị ga-eji anya gị abụọ hụ ya, ma ị gaghị eri site nʼime ya.”
3 Now there were four leprous men at the entrance of the gate. They said to one another, “Why do we sit here until we die?
Nʼoge a, e nwere ndị ekpenta anọ nọ nʼezi mgbidi gbara Sameria gburugburu, nʼakụkụ ọnụ ụzọ e si abata obodo ahụ. Ha sịrịtara onwe ha, “Gịnị ka anyị nọ nʼebe a na-eme? Ọ bụ ka anyị nọrọ nʼebe a tutu anyị anwụọ?
4 If we say, ‘We will enter into the city,’ then the famine is in the city, and we will die there. If we sit still here, we also die. Now therefore come, and let’s surrender to the army of the Syrians. If they save us alive, we will live; and if they kill us, we will only die.”
Ọ bụrụ na anyị asị, ‘Anyị ga-abanye nʼime obodo,’ ụnwụ dị nʼebe ahụ, anyị ga-anwụkwa. Ọ bụrụkwanụ na anyị anọgide nʼebe a anyị ga-anwụ. Ya mere ka anyị gafeenụ banye nʼọmụma ụlọ ikwu ndị agha Aram, were onwe anyị nyefee ha nʼaka. Ọ bụrụ na ha edebe anyị ndụ, anyị ga-adị ndụ, ọ bụrụ na ha egbuo anyị, anyị ga-anwụkwa.”
5 They rose up in the twilight to go to the camp of the Syrians. When they had come to the outermost part of the camp of the Syrians, behold, no man was there.
Nʼoge uhuruchi, ha biliri gaa nʼọmụma ụlọ ikwu ndị agha Aram. Mgbe ha bịarutere nʼọnụ ụlọ ikwu ahụ, o nwekwaghị onye nọ nʼebe ahụ,
6 For the Lord had made the army of the Syrians to hear the sound of chariots and the sound of horses, even the noise of a great army; and they said to one another, “Behold, the king of Israel has hired against us the kings of the Hittites and the kings of the Egyptians to attack us.”
nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị mere ka ndị Aram nụ ụzụ ụgbọ agha na nke ịnyịnya, na nke usuu ndị agha. Nke a mere ka onye ọbụla gwa ibe ya sị, “Lee, eze ndị Izrel egoola ndị agha ndị Het, na ndị eze Ijipt ibuso anyị agha.”
7 Therefore they arose and fled in the twilight, and left their tents, their horses, and their donkeys, even the camp as it was, and fled for their life.
Ha biliri gbapụ ọsọ nʼabalị ahụ, hapụ ụlọ ikwu ha niile, na ịnyịnya ha niile, na ịnyịnya ibu ha niile, na ihe niile otu o si dịrị, ma gbapụ ọsọ ndụ.
8 When these lepers came to the outermost part of the camp, they went into one tent, and ate and drank, then carried away silver, gold, and clothing and went and hid it. Then they came back, and entered into another tent and carried things from there also, and went and hid them.
Mgbe ndị ekpenta ahụ rutere ogige ndị agha ndị Siria, ha banyere nʼime otu ụlọ rie ihe, ṅụkwaa ihe ọṅụṅụ dị nʼime ya. Ha chịịrị ọlaọcha na ọlaedo na uwe ọma niile dị nʼime ya gaa zoo ha. Ọzọkwa, ha lọghachiri banye nʼụlọ ọzọ kwakọrọ ụfọdụ ihe dị nʼime ya gaa zoo.
9 Then they said to one another, “We are not doing right. Today is a day of good news, and we keep silent. If we wait until the morning light, punishment will overtake us. Now therefore come, let’s go and tell the king’s household.”
Ma mgbe ahụ ha sịrịtara onwe ha, “Ihe anyị na-eme ezighị ezi. Taa bụ ụbọchị oziọma, ma lee ka anyị na-agba nkịtị. Ọ bụrụ na anyị echere ruo ìhè ụtụtụ, a ga-achọpụta ajọọ omume anyị. Ugbu a bịanụ, ka anyị gaa gwa ndị nọ nʼụlọeze, ihe anyị hụrụ.”
10 So they came and called to the city gatekeepers; and they told them, “We came to the camp of the Syrians, and, behold, there was no man there, not even a man’s voice, but the horses tied, and the donkeys tied, and the tents as they were.”
Ya mere, ha gara kpọkuo ndị nche ọnụ ụzọ obodo ahụ, gwa ha sị, “Anyị banyere nʼogige ndị agha Aram, o nweghị mmadụ ọbụla nọ nʼebe ahụ, ọ dịghị olu mmadụ anyị nụrụ nʼebe ahụ, naanị ịnyịnya na ịnyịnya ibu elibere nʼosisi, na ụlọ ikwu ha a hapụrụ dịka ha dị.”
11 Then the gatekeepers called out and told it to the king’s household within.
Ndị na-eche nche tiri mkpu kọọrọ ndị nọ nʼụlọeze ihe mere.
12 The king arose in the night, and said to his servants, “I will now show you what the Syrians have done to us. They know that we are hungry. Therefore they have gone out of the camp to hide themselves in the field, saying, ‘When they come out of the city, we shall take them alive, and get into the city.’”
Eze biliri nʼabalị ahụ gwa ndịisi ọrụ ya sị, “Ka m gwa unu ihe ndị Aram mere anyị. Ha maara na anyị nọ nʼoke agụụ, nʼihi ya, ha akpacharala anya hapụ ọmụma ụlọ ikwu ha gaa zoo onwe ha nʼime ọhịa. Echiche ha bụ, ‘Ndị a ga-apụtarịrị, mgbe ahụ, anyị ga-ejide ha na ndụ, banyekwa nʼime obodo ha.’”
13 One of his servants answered, “Please let some people take five of the horses that remain, which are left in the city. Behold, they are like all the multitude of Israel who are left in it. Behold, they are like all the multitude of Israel who are consumed. Let’s send and see.”
Ma otu onye nʼime ndịisi agha ya zara sị ya, “Ka ụfọdụ mmadụ duru ịnyịnya ise ndị ahụ fọdụrụ nʼobodo. Ọ bụrụ na ndị a alọtaghị ọnọdụ ha ga-adị ka nke ndị Izrel niile fọdụrụ nʼebe, e, ha ga-adị ka ndị Izrel niile a gụrụ dịka ndị nwụrụ anwụ. Ya mere, ka anyị zipụ ha ka ha gaa chọpụta ihe mere.”
14 Therefore they took two chariots with horses; and the king sent them out to the Syrian army, saying, “Go and see.”
Ya mere, ha họpụtara ụgbọ agha abụọ na ịnyịnya ndị na-adọkpụ ha. Eze zipụrụ ha ịchụso ndị agha Aram, O nyere ndị na-agba ha iwu sị, “Gaanụ chọpụta ihe mere.”
15 They went after them to the Jordan; and behold, all the path was full of garments and equipment which the Syrians had cast away in their haste. The messengers returned and told the king.
Ha sogidere ha ruo nʼosimiri Jọdan. Nʼakụkụ ụzọ niile jupụtara nʼuwe na ngwa agha ndị agha Aram tufuru mgbe ha na-eme ngwangwa. Ndị ahụ e zipụrụ lọghachiri bịa kọọrọ eze ihe ha hụrụ.
16 The people went out and plundered the camp of the Syrians. So a seah of fine flour was sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, according to the LORD’s word.
Ndị Izrel niile pụrụ gaa kwakọrọ ihe dị nʼọmụma ụlọ ikwu ndị Aram. Nke bụ na e rere otu akpa nta ụtụ ọka a kwọrọ nke ọma otu shekel, rekwaa akpa ọka balị abụọ otu shekel dịka Onyenwe anyị si kwuo.
17 The king had appointed the captain on whose hand he leaned to be in charge of the gate; and the people trampled over him in the gate, and he died as the man of God had said, who spoke when the king came down to him.
Eze họpụtara ọchịagha ahụ, nke ọ na-adabere nʼaka ya, nye ya ọrụ ilekọta ọnụ ụzọ obodo ahụ. Ma ndị si nʼobodo na-enupụta nuturu ya, zọọ ya ụkwụ, zọgbuo ya mgbe ha na-agbapụta. Ọ nwụrụ dịka Ịlaisha onye nke Chineke kwuru mgbe eze bịakwutere ya ụnyaahụ, ijide ya.
18 It happened as the man of God had spoken to the king, saying, “Two seahs of barley for a shekel, and a seah of fine flour for a shekel, shall be tomorrow about this time in the gate of Samaria;”
Ihe niile mezuru dịka onye nke Chineke gwara eze okwu sị ya, “A ga-ere akpa nta ọka balị abụọ otu shekel na otu akpa nta ụtụ ọka otu shekel, nʼọnụ ụzọ ama Sameria.”
19 and that captain answered the man of God, and said, “Now, behold, if the LORD made windows in heaven, might such a thing be?” and he said, “Behold, you will see it with your eyes, but will not eat of it.”
Nʼoge ahụ, ọchịagha ahụ na-ejere eze ozi zara sị ya, “Ihe dị otu a agaghị eme, ọ bụladị na Onyenwe anyị emeghee eluigwe mee ka nri zoo, nke a ọ ga-eme?” Ma onye nke Chineke zara ya, “Ị ga-eji anya gị hụ ya, ma ị gaghị eso rie ya.”
20 It happened like that to him, for the people trampled over him in the gate, and he died.
Ọ bụkwa otu a ka o si mee, nʼihi na ndị mmadụ zọgburu ya nʼụkwụ nʼọnụ ụzọ ama, ebe ọ nọ nwụọ.
