< 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.
Sie len ah un mwet palu se ma Elisha el leum fac elos torkaskas ac fahk nu sel, “Acn se kut muta we inge arulana srikla!
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.
Kut siyuk sum kut in som nu ke Infacl Jordan ac pakiya kutu sak ah kut in musaela sie pac lohm ah sesr.” Elisha el topuk, “Wona.”
3 Then one of them said, “Please come with your servants.” “I will come,” he replied.
Sie selos kwafe tuh Elisha elan welulos som, ac el insese nu sel,
4 So Elisha went with them, and when they came to the Jordan, they began to cut down some trees.
na elos tukeni mukuiyak. Ke elos sun Infacl Jordan, elos mutawauk orekma.
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!”
Ke sie selos tufahna paki sak soko, na sifen tula soko ah putatla nu inkof ah. El fahk nu sel Elisha, “Leum luk, mea nga ac oru? Tula soko inge ma ngusrla!”
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.
Elisha el siyuk, “Putatla ya?” Mukul sac srisrngiya nu sel acn sac, na Elisha el pakela polosak se ac sisla nu insac, na sifen tula soko ah pahtak.
7 “Lift it out,” he said, and the man reached out his hand and took it.
El sap, “Sruokya.” Na mukul sac saplakla srukak.
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.”
Tokosra lun Syria el mweun lain Israel. El pwapa yurin mwet leum lun mwet mweun lal, ac sulela sie acn elos in aktuktuk we.
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.”
Tuh Elisha el supwala kas nu sin tokosra lun Israel in sensenkunul elan tia som apkuran nu in acn sac, mweyen mwet mweun lun Syria elos wikwik soanelos we.
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.
Ouinge tokosra lun Israel el fahkang ma inge nu sin mwet Israel su muta in acn sac, elos in ngusrikyak ac akola. Ouiya se inge sikyak pacl pus.
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?”
Tokosra Syria el arulana kasrkusrak ke lumah se inge. El pangoneni mwet leum lun un mwet mweun lal ac siyuk selos, “Su kac suwos wi layen lun tokosra Israel uh?”
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.”
Sie selos topuk, “Tia sie sesr. Mwet palu Elisha pa muta fahk nu sin tokosra lun Israel ma nukewa ma kom fahk uh, finne ma fwack in lukma infukil sum an.”
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,”
Na tokosra el sapkin, “Sokolak lah el oasr ya, nga in sruokilya.” Ke fwackyang nu sel lah Elisha el oasr in acn Dothan,
14 the king of Aram sent horses, chariots, and a great army. They went there by night and surrounded the city.
tokosra el supwala un mwet mweun na lulap se nu we wi horse ac chariot. Elos sun acn we ke fong, ac kuhlusya acn sac.
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?”
Toang na ke lotu se tok ah, mwet kulansap se lal Elisha illa liki lohm ah, ac liye lah un mwet mweun lun Syria wi horse ac chariot natulos raunela siti uh. El folokla ac fahk nu sel Elisha, “Pakomuta, kut ac lalna! Mea kut ac oru?”
16 “Do not be afraid,” Elisha answered, “for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.”
Elisha el topuk, “Nimet sangeng. Pus mwet wi kut lukelos.”
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.
Na el pre, “O LEUM GOD, ikasla mutal elan ku in liye!” LEUM GOD El topuk pre lal, ac mwet kulansap lal Elisha el ngetak ac liye lah pe eol uh sessesla ke horse ac chariot e, raunella 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.
Ke mwet Syria elos oatui in lainulos, Elisha el pre, “O LEUM GOD, konela mutun mwet inge.” LEUM GOD El topuk pre lal, ac konela mutalos.
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.
Na Elisha el som nu yorolos ac fahk, “Tafongla inkanek lowos an. Tia pa inge siti se kowos suk an. Fahsr tukuk ac nga fah pwen kowos nu yurin mwet se kowos suk an.” Ac el kololosla nu 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.
Pacl se na ma elos utyak nu in siti ah, Elisha el pre ac fahk, “LEUM GOD, ikasla mutalos elos in liye.” LEUM GOD El lohng pre lal, ac ikasla mutalos ac elos liye tuh na elos oasr in acn Samaria.
21 And when the king of Israel saw them, he asked Elisha, “My father, shall I kill them? Shall I kill them?”
Ke pacl se tokosra lun Israel el liye mwet Syria inge, el siyuk sel Elisha, “Ku nga ac uniya mwet Syria inge? Nga ac onelosi?”
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.”
El topuk, “Mo. Finne mwet mweun su kom sruokya ke mweun, kom ac tia uniya. Sang kutu ma elos in kang ac nim, ac lela elos in folokla nu yurin tokosra lalos.”
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.
Ouinge tokosra Israel el orala kufwa na yohk se nu selos, na tukun elos mongo ac nim tari, el supwalosla nu yurin tokosra Syria. Tukun pacl sac me, mwet Syria tia sifil orek lokoalok nu sin mwet Israel.
24 Some time later, Ben-hadad king of Aram assembled his entire army and marched up to besiege Samaria.
In kutu pacl tok, Tokosra Benhadad lun Syria el us mwet mweun lal nukewa in lain Israel, ac kuhlusya siti 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.
Ke sripen kuhlusyuki se inge, arulana sufalla mwe mongo nu sin mwet in siti uh, oru sifen donkey soko kukala ke ipin silver oalngoul, ac tafun paun ke koanonsien wuleoa kukala ke ipin silver limekosr.
26 As the king of Israel was passing by on the wall, a woman cried out to him, “Help me, my lord the king!”
Tokosra lun Israel el forfor fin pot in siti uh ke mutan se wola nu sel ac fahk, “O Tokosra, kasreyu!”
27 He answered, “If the LORD does not help you, where can I find help for you? From the threshing floor or the winepress?”
Ac tokosra el topuk, “LEUM GOD El fin tia kasrekom, kasru fuka nga ac ku in oru nu sum? Ku mea, oasr wheat ku wain yuruk?
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.’
Mea elya lom an?” Mutan sac topuk, “In kutu len somla mutan se inge pwapa nu sik kut in kangla tulik se nutik, na len tok ah kut fah kangla tulik natul ah.
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.”
Na kut akmolyela wen se nutik ac kangla, na len tok ah nga fahk nu sel kut in kangla wen natul ah, a el okanulla!”
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.
Ke tokosra el lohng ma inge, el arulana toasrla ac salik nuknuk lal, ac mwet ma muta fototo nu ke pot ah ku in liye lah el nukum nuknuk yohk eoa se ye nuknuk lal ah.
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!”
Tokosra el liksreni fahk, “Lela LEUM GOD Elan uniyuwi ngan misa, fin tia tahtla kwawal Elisha meet liki fongeni!”
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?”
Ac el supwala mwet se in tuh usalu Elisha. In pacl sacna, Elisha el muta inkul sel wi mwet matu su tuku nu yorol. Meet liki mwet se ma tokosra el supu ah sun acn we, Elisha el fahk nu sin mwet matu inge, “Mwet akmas sac ac supwama mwet se in tuh uniyuwi. El fin sun acn inge, kowos kaliya srungul an, ac nimet lela elan utyak. Tokosra el ac sa na tuku tokol.”
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?”
El tufahna fahkla ma inge na tokosra el sun acn we, ac fahk, “LEUM GOD pa use mwe lokoalok inge nu facsr uh! Mea pac kut ac soanel nu kac an?”
