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!”
अगमवक्ताका छोराहरूमध्ये एउटाकी पत्नी एलीशाकहाँ रुँदै आएर यसो भनिन्, “मेरा पति तपाईंका दास मर्नुभयो, र तपाईंका दास परमप्रभुदेखि डराउनुहुन्थ्यो भनी तपाईंलाई थाहा छ । अब मेरा दुई छोरालाई कमारा बनाउन लैजानलाई ऋणदाता आएका छन् ।”
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.”
त्यसैले एलीशाले तिनलाई भने, “तिम्रो निम्ति म के गरौं? घरमा तिमीसँग के छ मलाई भन ।” तिनले भनिन्, “तपाईंका दासीको घरमा एउटा भाँडोमा तेलबाहेक केही छैन ।”
3 “Go,” said Elisha, “borrow jars, even empty ones, from all your neighbors. Do not gather just a few.
तब एलीशाले भने, “तिम्रा छिमेकीहरूबाट रित्ता भाँडाहरू पैँचो माग्न जाऊ । सकेजति धेरै पैँचो माग ।
4 Then go inside, shut the door behind you and your sons, and pour oil into all these jars, setting the full ones aside.”
त्यसपछि तिमी भित्र जाऊ र तिम्रा छोराहरूलाई पनि भित्र राखेर ढोका बन्द गर, अनि ती सबै भाँडामा तेल खन्याऊ । भरिएका भाँडाहरू एकापट्टि राख ।”
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.
त्यसैले तिनी एलीशाबाट विदा भइन्, र तिनले आफ्ना छोराहरूलाई पनि भित्र राखेर ढोका बन्द गरिन् । तिनीहरूले तिनीकहाँ भाँडाहरू ल्याए, र तिनले ती तेलले भरिन् ।
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.
जब ती भाँडाहरू भरिए तब तिनले आफ्नो छोरोलाई भनिन्, “अर्को भाँडा मकहाँ ल्याऊ ।” तर उसले तिनलाई भन्यो, “अब एउटै भाँडा पनि छैन।” त्यसपछि तेल आउन पनि छाड्यो ।
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.”
तब तिनी आइन् र परमेश्वरका मानिसलाई त्यो कुरो बताइन् । तिनले भने, “गएर तेल बेच । तिम्रो ऋण तिर, र आफ्ना छोराहरूसित आरामसित बस ।”
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.
एक दिन एलीशा शूनेममा गए जहाँ एक जना प्रतिष्ठित स्त्री बस्थिन् । उनले तिनलाई तिनीसँगै खाना खान अनुरोध गरिन् । त्यसैले जब एलीशा त्यो बाटो भएर जान्थे, तब तिनी खानको लागि त्यहाँ रोकिन्थे ।
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.
ती स्त्रीले आफ्ना पतिलाई भनिन्, “हेर्नुहोस्, अब मलाई थाहा भयो, कि यिनी परमेश्वरका पवित्र मानिस हुन् जो सधैँ यो बाटो हिंड्छन् ।
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.”
कौसीमा एलीशाको लागि एउटा सानो कोठा बनाऔँ, र त्यसमा एउटा खाट, टेबल, आसन र बत्ती राखौँ । तब तिनी हामीकहाँ आउँदा तिनी त्यहीँ बस्नेछन् ।”
11 One day Elisha came to visit and went to his upper room to lie down.
यसरी फेरि एक दिन आयो जतिबेला एलीशा त्यहाँ रोकिए, तिनी त्यो कोठामा बसे, र त्यहीँ विश्राम गरे ।
12 And he said to Gehazi his servant, “Call the Shunammite woman.” And when he had called her, she stood before him,
एलीशाले आफ्नो सेवक गेहजीलाई भने, “ती शूनम्मीलाई बोला ।” त्यसले तिनलाई बोलाएपछि तिनी एलीशाको सामु खडा भइन् ।
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.
एलीशाले उसलाई भने, “तिनलाई भन्, 'हाम्रो वास्ता गर्न तिमीले यो सबै कष्ट झेलेकी छ्यौ । तिम्रो लागि के गर्न सकिन्छ? के हामी तिम्रो लागि राजा वा सेनापतिसित कुरा गरौं'?” तिनले जवाफ दिइन्, “मेरा आफ्नै जातिको बिचमा म बस्दैछु ।”
14 So he asked, “Then what should be done for her?” “Well, she has no son,” Gehazi replied, “and her husband is old.”
त्यसैले एलीशाले भने, “त्यसो हो भने, तिनको लागि हामी के गर्न सक्छौँ त?” गेहजीले जवाफ दियो, “वास्तवमा तिनीसँग छोरो छैन, र तिनका पति बुढो भएका छन् ।”
15 “Call her,” said Elisha. So Gehazi called her, and she stood in the doorway.
त्यसैले एलीशाले भने, “तिनलाई बोला ।” जब त्यसले तिनलाई बोलायो, तिनी ढोकामा खडा भइन् ।
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.”
एलीशाले भने, “एक वर्षपछि यही समयमा तिम्रो काखमा एउटा छोरो हुनेछ ।” तिनले जवाफ दिइन्, “होइन, हे मेरा मालिक र परमेश्वरका मानिस, आफ्नी दासीसित झुट नबोल्नुहोस् ।”
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.
तर एलीशाले त्यो स्त्रीलाई भनेझैँ तिनी गर्भवती भइन् र अर्को वर्ष ठिक त्यही समयमा एउटा छोरो जन्माइन् ।
18 And the child grew, and one day he went out to his father, who was with the harvesters.
बालक हुर्केपछि एक दिन त्यो आफ्नो बुबाकहाँ गयो जो कटनी गर्नेहरूसँगै थिए ।
19 “My head! My head!” he complained to his father. So his father told a servant, “Carry him to his mother.”
त्यसले आफ्नो बुबालाई भन्यो, “मेरो टाउको दुख्यो । मेरो टाउको दुख्यो । उसका बुबाले आफ्नो सेवकलाई भने, “त्यसलाई त्यसकी आमाकहाँ लिएर जाऊ ।”
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.
जब नोकरले केटोलाई उठाएर त्यसकी आमाकहाँ ल्यायो तब केटो मध्यान्हसम्म आमाको काखमा बस्यो, र त्यो मर्यो ।
21 And she went up and laid him on the bed of the man of God. Then she shut the door and went out.
त्यसैले ती स्त्री उठिन्, र केटोलाई परमेश्वरका मानिसको ओछ्यानमा सुताइन्, ढोका बन्द गरेर बाहिर निस्किन् ।
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.”
तिनले आफ्ना पतिलाई बोलाइन् र भनिन्, “कृपया, मलाई एक जना नोकर र एउटा गधा पठाउनुहोस् ताकि म छिटो परमेश्वरका मानिसकहाँ जान र फर्केर आउन सकूँ ।”
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.
तिनका पतिले भने, “किन तिमी आजै उहाँकहाँ जान चाहन्छ्यौ? आज न औँसी हो, न त शबाथ हो ।” उनले जवाफ दिइन्, “यो ठिक हुनेछ ।”
24 Then she saddled the donkey and told her servant, “Drive onward; do not slow the pace for me unless I tell you.”
त्यसपछि उनले गधामा काठी कसिन्, र आफ्नो सेवकलाई भनिन्, “छिटो कुदा । मैले नभनेसम्म दौडन ढिला नगर ।”
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.
त्यसैले तिनी गइन् र कर्मेल डाँडामा परमेश्वरका मानिस भएको ठाउँमा आइन् । जब परमेश्वरका मानिसले टाढैबाट तिनलाई देखे तिनले आफ्नो सेवक गेहजीलाई भने, “हेर्, शूनम्मी स्त्री आउँदैछिन् ।
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.”
तिनलाई भेट्न दौडेर जा र तिनलाई सोध, 'तिमी, तिम्रा पति र छोरोलाई सबै ठिकै छ'?” तिनले भनिन्, “ठिकै छ ।”
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.”
जब तिनी डाँडामा परमेश्वरका मानिस भएको ठाउँमा आइपुगिन् तब तिनले एलीशाको पाउ समातिन् । गेहजी तिनलाई हटाउनलाई अगाडि बढ्यो, तर परमेश्वरका मानिसले भने, “तिनलाई नछोऊ किनकि तिनी अत्यन्तै दुखी छिन्, र परमप्रभुले मबाट समस्या लुकाउनुभएको छ, र मलाई केही भन्नुभएको छैन ।”
28 Then she said, “Did I ask you for a son, my lord? Didn’t I say, ‘Do not deceive me?’”
तब तिनले भनिन्, “हे मेरा मालिक, मैले, तपाईंसँग छोरो मागेकी थिएँ र? मैले 'मलाई नछकाउनुहोस्' भनेकी थिइनँ र'?”
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.”
तब एलीशाले गेहजीलाई भने, “यात्राको लागि लुगा लगा, र तेरो हातमा मेरो लट्ठी समात् । तिनको घरमा जा । कुनै मानिसलाई भेटिस् भने अभिवादन नगर्, र कसैले तँलाई अभिवादन गर्यो भने जवाफ नदे । बालकको अनुहारमा मेरो लट्ठी राखिदे ।”
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.
तर बालककी आमाले भनिन्, “परमप्रभु र तपाईंको नाउँमा शपथ खाएर म भन्छु, कि म तपाईंलाई छाड्दिनँ ।” त्यसैले एलीशा उठे, र तिनको पछि लागे ।
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.”
गेहजी तिनीहरूभन्दा अगिअगि गयो र बाललको अनुहारमा लट्ठी पसार्यो, तर बालकले बोलेन र सुनेन । त्यसैले गेहजी एलीशालाई भेट्न फर्क्यो र तिनलाई यसो भन्यो, “बालक ब्युँझेको छैन ।”
32 When Elisha reached the house, there was the boy lying dead on his bed.
जब एलीशा घरमा आइपुगे, तब बालक मरिसकेको थियो, र ओछ्यानमा शान्त थियो ।
33 So he went in, closed the door behind the two of them, and prayed to the LORD.
त्यसैले एलीशा भित्र गएर बालक र आफूलाई राखेर ढोका बन्द गरे, र परमप्रभुलाई प्रार्थना चढाए ।
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.
तिनी ओछ्यानमाथि चढे र बालकमाथि सुते । तिनले आफ्नो मुख उसको मुखमा, आफ्ना आँखा उसको आँखामा, र आफ्ना हात उसको हातमा राखे । तिनले आफैलाई बालकमाथि लमतन्न पारे, र बालकको शरीर न्यानो भयो ।
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.
तब एलीशा उठे, र कोठाको वरिपरि घुमे अनि तिनी फेरि ओछ्यानमा चढे र बालकमाथि लमतन्न परे । बालकले सात पटक छिउँ काड्यो र आफ्ना आँखा खोल्यो ।
36 Elisha summoned Gehazi and said, “Call the Shunammite woman.” So he called her and she came. Then Elisha said, “Pick up your son.”
त्यसैले एलीशाले गेहजीलाई बोलाए र भने, “शूनम्मीलाई बोला ।” त्यसले उनलाई बोलायो, र जब तिनी कोठाभित्र आइन्, तब एलीशाले भने, “तिम्रो छोरोलाई बोक ।”
37 She came in, fell at his feet, and bowed to the ground. Then she picked up her son and went out.
तब एलीशाको पाउमा तिनी भुइँसम्मै घोप्टो परिन्, अनि आफ्नो छोरोलाई उठाइन् र बाहिर गइन् ।
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.”
तब एलीशा फेरि गिलगालमा आए । देशमा अनिकाल परेको थियो अनि अगमवक्ताहरूका छोराहरू तिनका सामु बसिरहेका थिए । तिनले आफ्नो सेवकलाई भने, “आगोमा ठुलो भाँडो बसाल र यी अगमवक्ताहरूका छोराहरूका निम्ति जाउलो पका ।”
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.
तिनीहरूमध्ये एक जना तरकारी खोज्न बारीमा गयो । त्यसले जङ्गली दाख भेट्टायो, र त्यसले जङ्गली लौका आफ्नो पोल्टाभरि जम्मा गर्यो । तिनीहरूले ती काटे र जाउलोमा हाले, तर ती कस्ता किसिमका थिए भनी तिनीहरूलाई थाहा थिएन ।
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.
मानिसहरूले खानलाई तिनीहरूले जाउलो खन्याए । पछि तिनीहरूले खाँदै गर्दा तिनीहरू चिच्च्याए र भने, “हे परमेश्वरका मानिस, भाँडामा त मृत्यु पो छ ।” त्यसैले तिनीहरूले त्यो फेरि खान सकेनन् ।
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.
तर एलीशाले भने, “केही पिठो ल्याऊ ।” तिनले त्यसलाई भाँडोभित्र हाले र भने, “मानिसहरूलाई यो खान देऊ ताकि तिनीहरूले त्यो खानसकून् ।” तब त्यस भाँडोमा त्यस्तो हानिकारक कुनै कुरो बाँकी रहेन ।
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.
बाल-शलीशाको कोही एक जना मानिस परमेश्वरकका मानिसकहाँ आयो, र त्यसले अगौटे फलबाट तयार गरिएको जौँका बिसवटा रोटी र केही अन्नका ताजा बाला आफ्नो बोरामा लिएर आयो । त्यसले भन्यो, “यो मानिसहरूलाई दिनुहोस् ताकि तिनीहरूले खान सकून् ।”
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.’”
तिनको सेवकले भन्यो, “एक सय जना मानिसलाई मैले यसबाट कसरी भाग पुर्याउन सक्छु र?” तर एलीशाले भने, “यो मानिसहरूलाई ताकि तिनीहरूलेखान सकून्, किनकि परमप्रभु भन्नुहुन्छ, 'तिनीहरूले खानेछन्, र केही बच्नेछ' ।”
44 So he set it before them, and they ate and had some left over, according to the word of the LORD.
त्यसैले तिनको सेवकले त्यो तिनीहरूका सामु राखिदियो र तिनीहरूले खाए अनि परमप्रभुको वचनले प्रतिज्ञा गरेझैँ केही बच्यो ।
