2 Kings 6
1 Now the sons of the prophets said to Elisha, “Please take note that the place where we meet with you is too small for us.
Kanyakla mar jonabi nowachone Elisha niya, “Neye, kaka kama wadakie kodini tin.
2 Please let us go to the Jordan, where each of us can get a log so we can build ourselves a place to live there.” “Go,” said Elisha.
Wadhiuru Jordan mondo ngʼato ka ngʼato otongʼ yien kendo wagergo kama waduto wanyalo dakie.” Nowachonegi niya, “Dhiuru.”
3 Then one of them said, “Please come with your servants.” “I will come,” he replied.
Eka achiel kuom jonabi nowachone Elisha niya, “Donge ber idhi kodwa?” Elisha nodwoke niya, “Abiro dhi kodu.”
4 So Elisha went with them, and when they came to the Jordan, they began to cut down some trees.
Kuom mano nodhi kodgi. Negidhi Jordan ma gichako tongʼo yien.
5 As one of them was cutting down a tree, the iron axe head fell into the water. “Oh, my master,” he cried out, “it was borrowed!”
To kane achiel kuomgi ne tongʼo yien, leye nolwar e pi. Noywak niya, “Yaye ruodha, korka ne en le mokwa!”
6 “Where did it fall?” asked the man of God. And when he showed him the place, the man of God cut a stick, threw it there, and made the iron float.
Ngʼat Nyasaye nopenje niya, Ne olwar gi kanye? Kane onyise kama ne olwarie, Elisha nongʼado luth, monyume kanyo kendo wi le nolewore.
7 “Lift it out,” he said, and the man reached out his hand and took it.
Eka nowachone niya, “Kawe.” Eka ngʼatno norieyo lwete mokawe.
8 Now the king of Aram was at war against Israel. After consulting with his servants, he said, “My camp will be in such and such a place.”
Ruoth Aram nenie e lweny gi jo-Israel. Bangʼ kane osewinjore gi jodonge, nowacho niya, “Abiro goyo kambina kama chalo kama.”
9 Then the man of God sent word to the king of Israel: “Be careful passing by this place, for the Arameans are going down there.”
Ngʼat Nyasaye nooro wach ne ruodh Israel kama: “Bed motangʼ kikalo kanyo nikech jo-Aram dhi buto kuno.”
10 So the king of Israel sent word to the place the man of God had pointed out. Time and again Elisha warned the king, so that he was on his guard in such places.
Omiyo ruodh Israel nokalo kanyo kotangʼ kaluwore gi wach mane ngʼat Nyasaye onyise. Kinde ka kinde Elisha ne siemo ruoth, mondo obed motangʼ ne kuondego.
11 For this reason the king of Aram became enraged and called his servants to demand of them, “Tell me, which one of us is on the side of the king of Israel?”
Wachni nochwanyo chuny ruodh Aram. Noluongo jodonge mowachonegi niya, “Bende unyalo wachona ngʼat ma jakorwa makonyo ruodh Israel?”
12 But one of his servants replied, “No one, my lord the king. For Elisha, the prophet in Israel, tells the king of Israel the very words you speak in your bedroom.”
Achiel kuom jodonge nowacho niya, “Ruodha onge ngʼatwa moro makonye, makmana Elisha janabi man Israel ema nyiso ruodh Israel gik moko duto miwacho kata ka in e odi mar nindo.”
13 So the king said, “Go and see where he is, that I may send men to capture him.” On receiving the report, “Elisha is in Dothan,”
Ruoth nogolo chik kawacho niya, “Dhiuru mondo udwar kama entie mondo adhi aor ji omake.” Wach noduogo kama: “En Dothan.”
14 the king of Aram sent horses, chariots, and a great army. They went there by night and surrounded the city.
Eka ne ooro farese, geche lweny kod jolweny motegno kuno. Negidhi kuno gotieno ma gilworo dala maduongʼno.
15 When the servant of the man of God got up and went out early in the morning, an army with horses and chariots had surrounded the city. So he asked Elisha, “Oh, my master, what are we to do?”
Kane jatich ngʼat Nyasaye ochiewo mo mondo kiny gokinyi, jolweny man-gi farese kod geche lweny ne oseluoro dala maduongʼno. Jatich nopenjo niya, “Yaye, ruodha, wabiro timore nade?”
16 “Do not be afraid,” Elisha answered, “for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.”
Janabi nodwoke niya, “Kik ubed maluor, nimar joma ni kodwa ngʼeny moloyo joma ni kodgi.”
17 Then Elisha prayed, “O LORD, please open his eyes that he may see.” And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw that the hills were full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.
Kendo Elisha nolemo niya, “Jehova Nyasaye, yaw wangʼe mondo onen.” Eka Jehova Nyasaye noyawo wangʼ jatijno, kendo noneno farese kod geche lweny ewi got kolworo Elisha.
18 As the Arameans came down against him, Elisha prayed to the LORD, “Please strike these people with blindness.” So He struck them with blindness, according to the word of Elisha.
Kane oneno wasigu kalor biro machiegni kode, Elisha nolamo Jehova Nyasaye niya, “Lok jogi muofu.” Omiyo noloko jogi muofni mana kaka Elisha nosekwayo.
19 And Elisha told them, “This is not the way, and this is not the city. Follow me, and I will take you to the man you are seeking.” And he led them to Samaria.
Elisha nokonegi niya, “Ma ok en yo kendo ma ok en dala maduongʼ. Luw-uru bangʼa kendo abiro terou nyaka ir ngʼat ma udwarono.” Kendo noterogi nyaka Samaria.
20 When they had entered Samaria, Elisha said, “O LORD, open the eyes of these men that they may see.” Then the LORD opened their eyes, and they looked around and discovered that they were in Samaria.
Bangʼ kane gisedonjo e dala maduongʼno, Elisha nowacho niya, “Jehova Nyasaye yaw wangʼ jogi mondo ginen.” Eka Jehova Nyasaye noyawo wengegi kendo ka wengegi noyawore, to negiyudo ka gin Samaria.
21 And when the king of Israel saw them, he asked Elisha, “My father, shall I kill them? Shall I kill them?”
Kane ruodh Israel onenogi nopenjo Elisha niya, Wuora, anyalo negogi?
22 “Do not kill them,” he replied. “Would you kill those you have captured with your own sword or bow? Set food and water before them, that they may eat and drink and then return to their master.”
Nodwoke niya, “Kik ineg-gi. Bende dineg joma isemako gi liganglani kata tongʼ? Migi chiemo gicham kod pi mondo gimodhi, eka mondo gidog ir ruodhgi.”
23 So the king prepared a great feast for them, and after they had finished eating and drinking, he sent them away, and they returned to their master. And the Aramean raiders did not come into the land of Israel again.
Omiyo ne olosonegi nyasi maduongʼ kendo kane gisetieko chiemo kod metho, ne oorogi ma gidok ir ruodhgi. Kuom oganda lweny mag Aram noweyo monjo piny Israel.
24 Some time later, Ben-hadad king of Aram assembled his entire army and marched up to besiege Samaria.
Bangʼ ndalo moko, Ben-Hadad ruodh Aram nochoko jolweny mage duto momonjo Samaria.
25 So there was a great famine in Samaria. Indeed, they besieged the city so long that a donkey’s head sold for eighty shekels of silver, and a quarter cab of dove’s dung sold for five shekels of silver.
Negilworo dalano amingʼa ma kech maduongʼ mane omako Samaria nomedore ma wi punda ne ingʼiewo gi fedha ma pekne romo kilo achiel, to ondongʼ mar owuoch akuru ningʼiewo gi fedha ma pekne romo achiel kuom apar mar kilo.
26 As the king of Israel was passing by on the wall, a woman cried out to him, “Help me, my lord the king!”
Kane ruodh Israel kalo machiegni gi ohinga mar dala maduongʼno, dhako moro noywak malit kawacho niya, “Konya, ruodha!”
27 He answered, “If the LORD does not help you, where can I find help for you? From the threshing floor or the winepress?”
Ruoth nodwoke niya, “Ka Jehova Nyasaye ok konyi, ere kama dayudnie konyruok.” Dobed kar dino cham, koso kar biyo divai?
28 Then the king asked her, “What is the matter?” And she answered, “This woman said to me, ‘Give up your son, that we may eat him, and tomorrow we will eat my son.’
Eka nopenje niya, “Angʼo marach?” To nodwoke niya, “Dhakoni nowachona mondo agol wuoda mondo wacham kawuono to kiny en bende nogol wuode mondo wacham.”
29 So we boiled my son and ate him, and the next day I said to her, ‘Give up your son, that we may eat him.’ But she had hidden her son.”
Omiyo ne watedo wuoda kendo wachamo. Kinyne ne awachone niya, In bende gol wuodi mi wacham, kare en to nosepando wuode.
30 When the king heard the words of the woman, he tore his clothes. And as he passed by on the wall, the people saw the sackcloth under his clothes next to his skin.
Kane ruoth owinjo weche dhakono noyiecho lepe. Wachni notimore ka ruoth ne wuotho ewi ohinga, mi ji nongʼiye, moneno korwako pien gugru ei lepe.
31 He announced, “May God punish me, and ever so severely, if the head of Elisha son of Shaphat remains on his shoulders through this day!”
Nowacho niya, “Mad Nyasaye chwada malit ka dipo kawuono ok angʼado wi Elisha wuod Shafat oko!”
32 Now Elisha was sitting in his house, and the elders were sitting with him. The king sent a messenger ahead, but before he arrived, Elisha said to the elders, “Do you see how this murderer has sent someone to cut off my head? Look, when the messenger comes, shut the door to keep him out. Is not the sound of his master’s footsteps behind him?”
Koro noyudo Elisha obet e ode ka en gi jodonge. Ruoth nooro jootene motelo e nyime, to kane pok ochopo, Elisha nowachone jodonge niya, “Donge uneno ka koro janekni oro ngʼato mondo obi onega? Winjuru, ka jaote ochopo, to ulor dhoot matek ma kik odonji, nimar ruodhe luwo bangʼe machiegni.”
33 While Elisha was still speaking with them, the messenger came down to him. And the king said, “This calamity is from the LORD. Why should I wait for the LORD any longer?”
Kane pod owuoyonegi, jaote nochopo ire. Kendo ruoth nowachone niya, “Masirani oa mana kuom Jehova Nyasaye, omiyo onge tiende medo geno kuom Jehova Nyasaye.”
