< Kings IV 6 >

1 And the sons of the prophets said to Elisaie, Behold now, the place wherein we dwell before thee is too narrow for us.
Hoe o anam-pitokio amy Elisà, Hehe te loho maifitse ama’ay ty fin­dreza’ay fimoneñe ama’o etoañe.
2 Let us go, we pray thee, unto Jordan, and take thence every man a beam, and make for ourselves a habitation there.
Ehe, angao handenà’ay mb’am’Iordaney mb’eo, songa hangalake ty boda’e boak’ ao han­dranjia’ay akiba himoneña’ay. Le hoe re, Akia.
3 And he said, Go. And one of them said gently, Come with thy servants. And he said, I will go.
Le hoe ty raike, Ee te ho no’o ty hindre-lia amo mpitoro’oo. Le hoe ty natoi’e: Homb’eo iraho.
4 And he went with them, and they came to Jordan, and began to cut down wood.
Aa le nindreza’e. Ie pok’am’ Iordaney, le namira hatae.
5 And behold, one was cutting down a beam, and the axe head fell into the water: and he cried out, Alas! master: and it was hidden.
Fe nadebo’ ty raike i boda’ey, le nipitsik’ an-drano ao ty lela’ i feko’ey vaho hoe re, Hoke, talè, nindrameñe ‘nio.
6 And the man of God said, Where did it fall? and he shewed him the place: and he broke off a stick, and threw it in there, and the iron came to the surface.
Le hoe indatin’ Añaharey, aia ty nijoroboña’e? Le natoro’e aze i nipoha’ey. Aa le nibira hatae kede re nañifik’ aze ey, nampitsikafoñe i viñey.
7 And he said, Take it up to thyself. And he stretched out his hand, and took it.
Le hoe re ama’e rambeso. Aa le nahiti’e ty fità’e nandrambe aze.
8 And the king of Syria was at war with Israel: and he consulted with his servants, saying, I will encamp in such a place.
Nialy amy Israele amy zao ty mpanjaka’ i Arame, le nisafiry amo mpitoro’eo, nanao ty hoe; An-koe naho an-koe ao ty hitobeako.
9 And Elisaie sent to the king of Israel, saying, Take heed that thou pass not by that place, for the Syrians are hidden there.
Le nampañitrike mb’ amy mpanjaka’ Israeley mb’eo indatin’ Añaharey, ty hoe: Asoao irehe tsy hiary an-koe eo, amy t’ie homba’ o nte-Ara­meo.
10 And the king of Israel sent to the place which Elisaie mentioned to him, and saved himself thence not once or twice.
Aa le nañirak’ amy toetse natoro naho nahatahata’ indatin’ Añaharey azey vaho nitaòa’e i toetsey, tsy indroe tsy indraike.
11 And the mind of the king of Syria was very much disturbed concerning this thing; and he called his servants, and said to them, Will ye not tell me who betrays me to the king of Israel?
Aa le nahatsimboetse ty arofo’ i mpanjaka’ i Aramey i rahay, le kinoi’e o mpitoro’eo vaho nanoa’e ty hoe: Tsy hatoro’ areo amako hao te ia aman-tika ty mpiamy mpanjaka’ Israeley?
12 And one of his servants said, Nay, my Lord, O king, for Elisaie the prophet that is in Israel reports to the king of Israel all the words whatsoever thou mayest say in thy bedchamber.
Le hoe ty mpitoro’e, Tsie, ry talè mpanjakako; i Elisà, mpitoki’ Israeley ty mitali­ly amy mpanjaka’ Israeley ty entañe saontsie’o añ’efem-pandrea’o ao.
13 And he said, Go, see where this man [is], and I will send and take him. And they sent word to him, saying, Behold, [he is] in Dothaim.
Le hoe re: Akia, rendreho te aia, soa te hampihitrifeko añe ty hangalak’ aze. Le natalily ama’e t’ie e Dotane ao.
14 And he sent thither horses, and chariots, and a mighty host: and they came by night, and compassed about the city.
Aa le nañiraha’e soavala naho sarete vaho ty lahialeñe ama’e, nañarikoboñe i rovay te haleñe.
15 And the servant of Elisaie rose up early and went out; and, behold, a host compassed the city, and horses and chariots: and the servant said to him, O master, what shall we do?
Aa ie nitroatse maraindray ty mpitoro’ indatin’ Añaharey, naho niavotse, indroy ty valobohòke reketse soavala naho sarete niarikatoke i rovay. Le hoe i mpitoro’ey ama’e, Hankàñe, ry talèko! Akore ty hanoen-tika?
16 And Elisaie said, Fear not, for they who are with us [are] more than they that are with them.
Le hoe ty natoi’e: Ko hembañe, fa maro ty aman-tika te am’ iereo.
17 And Elisaie prayed, and said, Lord, open, I pray thee, the eyes of the servant, and let him see. And the Lord opened his eyes, and he saw: and, behold, the mountain [was] full of horses, and there were chariots of fire round about Elisaie.
Aa le niloloke t’i Elisà nanao ty hoe: Ry Iehovà, ihalaliako, ampibeaho o maso’eo hahatrea; le sinoka’ Iehovà o maso’ i mpi­toro’eio le nahaisake te indroy, nanitsike i vohitsey ty mpiningi-tsoavala naho sareten’ afo niarikatok’ i Elisà.
18 And they came down to him; and he prayed to the Lord, and said, Smite, I pray thee, this people with blindness. And he smote them with blindness, according to the word of Elisaie.
Aa ie nizotso mb’ ama’e mb’eo o nte-Arameo le nihalaly amy Iehovà t’i Elisà ami’ty hoe: Ehe lafao hagoa ondatio. Aa le pinao’e ty hafè iereo ty amy saontsi’ i Elisày.
19 And Elisaie said to them, This [is] not the city, and this [is] not the way: follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom ye seek. And he led them away to Samaria.
Le hoe t’i Elisà am’ iereo, Tsy ie ty lalañe toy, tsy ie ka ty rova toy; oriho iraho vaho hase­seko mb’ amy ‘ndaty paiae’ areoy. Le kinozozò’e mb’e Somerone mb’eo.
20 And it came to pass when they entered into Samaria, that Elisaie said, Open, I pray thee, O Lord, their eyes, and let them see. And the Lord opened their eyes, and they saw; and, behold, they were in the midst of Samaria.
Ie amy zao, naho nivotrake e Somerone ao iereo le nanao ty hoe t’i Elisà. Ry Iehovà, sokafo o fihaino ondaty retoañeo, hahaisake. Aa le nampibolanahe’ Iehovà ty fihaino ondaty reo, vaho nahaisake te heheke, am-po’ i Somerone ao.
21 And the king of Israel said to Elisaie, when he saw them, Shall I [not] verily smite them, [my] father?
Le hoe ty mpanjaka’ Israele amy Elisà, ie nioni’e, O aba, ho lafaeko hao? ho zevoñeko ambane hao?
22 And he said, Thou shalt not smite them, unless thou wouldest smite those whom thou hast taken captive with thy sword and with thy bow: set bread and water before them, and let them eat and drink, and depart to their master.
Le hoe ty natoi’e: ko lafae’o. Ho nizevoñe’o hao o nitsepahe’o am-pibara naho fale’oo? Anjotso mahakama naho rano, hikamà’e, hinoma’e, himpolie’ iareo mb’ an-talè’ iareo añe.
23 And he set before them a great feast, and they ate and drank: and he dismissed them and they departed to their master. And the bands of Syria came no longer into the land of Israel.
Aa le nihalankañe’e takataka, naho nikama naho ninoñe iereo vaho nirahe’e mb’ aman-talè’ iareo añe. Aa le tsy niheo mb’ an-tane Israele mb’eo ka o mpirim­bon-dahindefo’ i Arameo.
24 And it came to pass after this, that the son of Ader king of Syria gathered all his army, and went up, and besieged Samaria.
Ie añe, le natonto’ i Benhadade mpanjaka’ i Arame i valobohò’e iabiy, le nionjomb’eo namandroñe i Some­rone.
25 And there was a great famine in Samaria: and, behold, they besieged it, until an ass's head was [valued] at fifty pieces of silver, and the fourth part of a cab of dove's dung at five pieces of silver.
Nanilofen-kasalikoañe ty Somerone henane zay; le niarikatoheñe ampara’ te naletake volafoty va­lompolo ty loham-borìke naho volafoty lime ty tain-deho am-pahèfa’ ty kabe.
26 And the king of Israel was passing by on the wall, and a woman cried to him, saying, Help, my lord, O king.
Nidraidraitse ambone’ i kijoliy ty mpanjaka’ Israele, le nitoreo ty hoe ama’e ty rakemba: Rombaho iraho talèko, mpanjaka.
27 And he said to her, Unless the Lord help thee, whence shall I help thee? from the corn-floor, or from the wine-press?
Le hoe re, Naho tsy mandrombak’ azo t’Iehovà, aia ty hañolorako azo? he boak’ an-toem-pamofohañe, ke boak’ am-pipiritan-divay ao?
28 And the king said to her, What is [the matter] with thee? And the woman said to him, This [woman] said to me, Give thy son, and we will eat him to-day, and we will eat my son to-morrow.
Le hoe ty mpanjaka ama’e: Ino o mañolañe azoo. Le hoe ty natoi’e: Nanao ty hoe amako ty rakemba, Atoloro hey i ana-dahi’oy ho hanentika anito le ho hanentika hamaray i ana-dahikoy.
29 So we boiled my son, and ate him; and I said to her on the second day, Give thy son, and let us eat him: and she has hidden her son.
Aa le kinetre’ay i ana-dahikoy naho nihane’ay; le hoe ty asako ama’e amy loakandroy, Atoloro ka i ana-dahi’oy hihinanan-tikañe; fe naeta’e i ana-dahi’ey.
30 And it came to pass, when the king of Israel heard the words of the woman, [that] he rent his garments; and he passed by on the wall, and the people saw sackcloth within upon his flesh.
Ie nahajanjiñe ty enta’ i rakembay i mpanjakay le rinia’e o saro’eo, le nitonjohize’e ty lia’e amy kijoliy, f’ie nandrendrehe’ ondatio, heheke te lamba-gony ty an-tsandri’e.
31 And he said, God do so to me and more also, if the head of Elisaie shall stand upon him this day.
Le hoe re: Ee te hafetsan’ Añahare amako naho mandikoatse, naho mbe hipetak’ amy Elisà ana’ i Safate ty añ­am­bone’e te anito.
32 And Elisaie was sitting in his house, and the elders were sitting with him; and [the king] sent a man before him: before the messenger came to him, he also said to the elders, Do ye see that this son of a murderer has sent to take away my head? See, as soon as the messenger shall have come, shut the door, and forcibly detain him at the door: [is] not the sound of his master's feet behind him?
Fe niam­besatse añ’an­jomba’e ao t’i Elisà, naho nitrao-piambesatse ama’e o androanavio; le nañitrike ìrake hiaolo aze mb’eo i mpanjakay fe mbe tsy pok’ eo i nahitrikey, le hoe re amo androanavio: Oni’ areo hao te nañitrife’ ty anam-pamono tia ty lohako? Inao, ie pok’eo i irakey, arindrino i lalañey naho tano mirindriñe ama’e i lalañey; aa tsy mañorik’ aze hao ty fika­tsea­katse­am-pandia’ i tompo’ey?
33 While he was yet speaking with them, behold, a messenger came to him: and he said, Behold, this evil [is] of the Lord; why should I wait for the Lord any longer?
Ie mbe nisaontsy am’ iereo, le nivo­trak’ ama’e i ìrakey nanao ty hoe, Inao, boak’ am’ Iehovà o hekoheko zao, ino ty mbe handiñisako Iehovà?
