2 Kings 4

1 Now the wife of one of the sons of the prophets cried out to Elisha, “Your servant, my husband, is dead, and you know that your servant feared the LORD. And now his creditor is coming to take my two children as his slaves!”

And a woman one from [the] wives of [the] sons of the prophets she cried out to Elisha saying servant your husband my he is dead and you you know that servant your he was fearing Yahweh and the creditor [is] about to come to take [the] two children my for himself to slaves.

2 “How can I help you?” asked Elisha. “Tell me, what do you have in the house?” She answered, “Your servant has nothing in the house but a jar of oil.”

And he said to her Elisha what? will I do for you tell to me what? [is] there ([belonging] to you *Q(k)*) in the house and she said not [belongs] to maidservant your anything in the house that except a jar of oil.

3 “Go,” said Elisha, “borrow jars, even empty ones, from all your neighbors. Do not gather just a few.

And he said go ask for yourself vessels from the outside from with all (neighbors your *Q(k)*) vessels empty may not you make few.

4 Then go inside, shut the door behind you and your sons, and pour oil into all these jars, setting the full ones aside.”

And you will go and you will shut the door behind you and behind children your and you will pour out on all the vessels these and the full [one] you will set aside.

5 So she left him, and after she had shut the door behind her and her sons, they kept bringing jars to her, and she kept pouring.

And she went from with him and she shut the door behind her and behind children her they [were] bringing to her and she ([was] pouring out. *Q(k)*)

6 When all the jars were full, she said to her son, “Bring me another.” But he replied, “There are no more jars.” Then the oil stopped flowing.

And it was - when were full the vessels and she said to son her bring near! to me still a vessel and he said to her there not still [is] a vessel and it stopped the oil.

7 She went and told the man of God, and he said, “Go, sell the oil, and pay your debt. Then you and your sons can live on the remainder.”

And she came and she told to [the] man of God and he said go sell the oil and pay (debt your *Q(K)*) and you (and children your *Q(K)*) you will live by the remainder.

8 One day Elisha went to Shunem, and a prominent woman who lived there persuaded him to have a meal. So whenever he would pass by, he would stop there to eat.

And it was the day and he passed on Elisha to Shunem and [was] there a woman great and she urged him to eat food and it was as often as passed by he he turned aside there towards to eat food.

9 Then the woman said to her husband, “Behold, now I know that the one who often comes our way is a holy man of God.

And she said to husband her here! please I know that [is] a man of God holy he [who] passes by at us continually.

10 Please let us make a small room upstairs and put in it a bed, a table, a chair, and a lamp for him. Then when he comes to us, he can stay there.”

Let us make please an upper room of a wall small and let us put for him there a bed and a table and a chair and a lampstand and it will be when comes he to us he will turn aside there towards.

11 One day Elisha came to visit and went to his upper room to lie down.

And it was the day and he came there towards and he turned aside to the upper room and he lay down there.

12 And he said to Gehazi his servant, “Call the Shunammite woman.” And when he had called her, she stood before him,

And he said to Gehazi servant his summon the Shunammite [woman] this and he summoned her and she stood before him.

13 and Elisha said to Gehazi, “Now tell her, ‘Look, you have gone to all this trouble for us. What can we do for you? Can we speak on your behalf to the king or the commander of the army?’” “I have a home among my own people,” she replied.

And he said to him say please to her here! you have taken care - to us all the care this what? [is] to do for you ¿ [is] there to speak for you to the king or? to [the] commander of the army and she said in among own people my I [am] dwelling.

14 So he asked, “Then what should be done for her?” “Well, she has no son,” Gehazi replied, “and her husband is old.”

And he said and what? [is] to do for her and he said Gehazi indeed a son not [belongs] to her and husband her he is old.

15 “Call her,” said Elisha. So Gehazi called her, and she stood in the doorway.

And he said summon her and he summoned her and she stood at the entrance.

16 And Elisha declared, “At this time next year, you will hold a son in your arms.” “No, my lord,” she said. “Do not lie to your maidservant, O man of God.”

And he said to the appointed time this about the time living (you *Q(K)*) [will be] embracing a son and she said may [you] not O lord my O man of God may not you tell a lie to maidservant your.

17 But the woman did conceive, and at that time the next year she gave birth to a son, just as Elisha had told her.

And she conceived the woman and she gave birth to a son to the appointed time this about the time living which he had spoken to her Elisha.

18 And the child grew, and one day he went out to his father, who was with the harvesters.

And he grew up the child and it was the day and he went out to father his to the harvesters.

19 “My head! My head!” he complained to his father. So his father told a servant, “Carry him to his mother.”

And he said to father his head my - head my and he said to the servant carry him to mother his.

20 After the servant had picked him up and carried him to his mother, the boy sat on her lap until noon, and then he died.

And he carried him and he brought him to mother his and he sat on knees her until the noontide and he died.

21 And she went up and laid him on the bed of the man of God. Then she shut the door and went out.

And she went up and she made lie him on [the] bed of [the] man of God and she shut behind him and she went out.

22 And the woman called her husband and said, “Please send me one of the servants and one of the donkeys, that I may go quickly to the man of God and return.”

And she called to husband her and she said send! please to me one of the servants and one of the donkeys so I may run to [the] man of God so I may return.

23 “Why would you go to him today?” he replied. “It is not a New Moon or a Sabbath.” “Everything is all right,” she said.

And he said why? ([are] you *Q(K)*) (going *Q(k)*) to him this day not new moon and not sabbath and she said peace.

24 Then she saddled the donkey and told her servant, “Drive onward; do not slow the pace for me unless I tell you.”

And she saddled the donkey and she said to servant her lead on and go may not you hold back me to ride that except I have said to you.

25 So she set out and went to the man of God at Mount Carmel. When the man of God saw her at a distance, he said to his servant Gehazi, “Look, there is the Shunammite woman.

And she went and she came to [the] man of God to [the] mountain of Carmel and it was when saw [the] man of God her from before and he said to Gehazi servant his there! [is] the Shunammite [woman] this.

26 Please run out now to meet her and ask, ‘Are you all right? Is your husband all right? Is your child all right?’” And she answered, “Everything is all right.”

Now run please to meet her and say to her ¿ [does] peace [belong] to you ¿ [does] peace [belong] to husband your ¿ [does] peace [belong] to the child and she said peace.

27 When she reached the man of God at the mountain, she clung to his feet. Gehazi came over to push her away, but the man of God said, “Leave her alone, for her soul is in deep distress, and the LORD has hidden it from me and has not told me.”

And she came to [the] man of God to the mountain and she took hold on feet his and he drew near Gehazi to drive away her and he said [the] man of God refrain to her for self her it is bitter to her and Yahweh he has hidden from me and not he has told to me.

28 Then she said, “Did I ask you for a son, my lord? Didn’t I say, ‘Do not deceive me?’”

And she said ¿ did I ask for a son from with lord my ¿ not did I say not you must deceive me.

29 So Elisha said to Gehazi, “Tie up your garment, take my staff in your hand, and go! If you meet anyone, do not greet him, and if anyone greets you, do not answer him. Then lay my staff on the boy’s face.”

And he said to Gehazi gird up loins your and take staff my in hand your and go if you will meet anyone not you must bless him and if he will bless you anyone not you must answer him and you will put staff my on [the] face of the lad.

30 And the mother of the boy said, “As surely as the LORD lives and as you yourself live, I will not leave you.” So he got up and followed her.

And she said [the] mother of the lad [by] [the] life of Yahweh and [by] [the] life of self your if I will leave you and he arose and he went after her.

31 Gehazi went on ahead of them and laid the staff on the boy’s face, but there was no sound or response. So he went back to meet Elisha and told him, “The boy has not awakened.”

And Gehazi he passed on before them and he put the staff on [the] face of the lad and there not [was] a sound and there not [was] attention and he went back to meet him and he told to him saying not he has awakened the lad.

32 When Elisha reached the house, there was the boy lying dead on his bed.

And he came Elisha the house towards and there! the lad [was] dead laid on bed his.

33 So he went in, closed the door behind the two of them, and prayed to the LORD.

And he went and he shut the door behind [the] two of them and he prayed to Yahweh.

34 Then Elisha got on the bed and lay on the boy, mouth to mouth, eye to eye, and hand to hand. As he stretched himself out over him, the boy’s body became warm.

And he went up and he lay on the child and he put mouth his on mouth his and eyes his on eyes his and palms his on (palms his *Q(K)*) and he crouched over him and it became warm [the] flesh of the child.

35 Elisha turned away and paced back and forth across the room. Then he got on the bed and stretched himself out over the boy again, and the boy sneezed seven times and opened his eyes.

And he went back and he walked in the house one [time] hither and one [time] hither and he went up and he crouched over him and he sneezed the lad until seven times and he opened the lad eyes his.

36 Elisha summoned Gehazi and said, “Call the Shunammite woman.” So he called her and she came. Then Elisha said, “Pick up your son.”

And he summoned Gehazi and he said summon the Shunammite [woman] this and he summoned her and she came to him and he said take up son your.

37 She came in, fell at his feet, and bowed to the ground. Then she picked up her son and went out.

And she came and she fell at feet his and she bowed down [the] ground towards and she took up son her and she went out.

38 When Elisha returned to Gilgal, there was a famine in the land. As the sons of the prophets were sitting at his feet, he said to his attendant, “Put on the large pot and boil some stew for the sons of the prophets.”

And Elisha he returned Gilgal towards and famine [was] in the land and [the] sons of the prophets [were] sitting before him and he said to servant his put on the pot large and cook cooked food for [the] sons of the prophets.

39 One of them went out to the field to gather herbs, and he found a wild vine from which he gathered as many wild gourds as his garment could hold. Then he came back and cut them up into the pot of stew, though no one knew what they were.

And he went out one [man] to the field to gather herbs and he found a vine of [the] field and he gathered from it gourds of [the] field [the] fullness of garment his and he came and he sliced [them] into [the] pot of the cooked food for not people knew.

40 And they poured it out for the men to eat, but when they tasted the stew they cried out, “There is death in the pot, O man of God!” And they could not eat it.

And they poured [it] out for [the] men to eat and it was when ate they some of the cooked food and they they cried out and they said death [is] in the pot O man of God and not they were able to eat [it].

41 Then Elisha said, “Get some flour.” He threw it into the pot and said, “Pour it out for the people to eat.” And there was nothing harmful in the pot.

And he said and fetch flour and he threw [it] into the pot and he said pour [it] out for the people so they may eat and not it was a thing bad in the pot.

42 Now a man from Baal-shalishah came to the man of God with a sack of twenty loaves of barley bread from the first ripe grain. “Give it to the people to eat,” said Elisha.

And a man he came from Baal Shalisha and he brought to [the] man of God bread of first-fruits twenty bread[s] of barley and new corn in sack his and he said give [it] to the people so they may eat.

43 But his servant asked, “How am I to set twenty loaves before a hundred men?” “Give it to the people to eat,” said Elisha, “for this is what the LORD says: ‘They will eat and have some left over.’”

And he said servant his what? will I put this before a hundred man and he said give [it] to the people so they may eat for thus he says Yahweh they will eat and they will have more than enough.

44 So he set it before them, and they ate and had some left over, according to the word of the LORD.

And he put [it] before them and they ate and they had more than enough according to [the] word of Yahweh.
