< 2 Kings 6 >

1 Now the sons of the prophets said to Elisha: “Behold, the place in which we live before you is too narrow for us.
Kinuna dagiti annak dagiti profeta kenni Eliseo, “Ti lugar a pagnanaedantayo ket nailet unay para kadatayo amin.
2 Let us go as far as the Jordan, and let us each take from the forest a piece of timber, so that we may build for ourselves a place to live there.” And he said, “Go.”
Pangngaasim ta palubosannakami a mapan idiay Karayan Jordan, ket palubosam ti tunggal lalaki a mangpukan iti kayo, ket mangbangontayo ti lugar sadiay a mabalin a pagnaedantayo.” Simmungbat ni Eliseo, “Mabalinyon ti mapan.”
3 And one of them said, “Then you, too, should go with your servants.” And he answered, “I will go.”
Kinuna ti maysa kadakuada, “Pangngaasim ta kumuyogka kadagiti adipenmo.” Simmungbat ni Eliseo, “Mapanak.”
4 And he went with them. And when they had arrived at the Jordan, they were cutting down wood.
Isu a kimmuyog ni Eliseo kadakuada, idi nakadanondan idiay Karayan Jordan, rinugianda ti nagpukan kadagiti kayo.
5 Then it happened that, while someone was cutting timber, the iron of the ax fell into the water. And he cried out and said: “Alas, alas, alas, my lord! For this thing was borrowed.”
Ngem kabayatan nga agpukpukan ti maysa, natinnag ti ulo ti wasay iti danum; nagpukkaw isuna ket kinunana, “Ayna, apok, daytoy ket bulod!”
6 Then the man of God said, “Where did it fall?” And he indicated to him the place. Then he cut off a piece of wood, and he threw it in. And the iron floated up.
Isu a kinuna ti tao ti Dios, “Sadino ti nakatnaganna?” Intudo ti lalaki kenni Eliseo ti disso a nakatnaganna. Nangputed ngarud ni Eliseo iti ruting, impuruakna daytoy iti danum, ket pinagtapawna ti landok.
7 And he said, “Take it.” And he extended his hand, and took it.
Kinuna ni Eliseo, “Pidutem.” Isu a ginaw-at ti lalaki daytoy.
8 Now the king of Syria was fighting against Israel, and he took counsel with his servants, saying, “In this and that place, let us set up an ambush.”
Ita, ti ari ti Aram ket mangirugrugi idi iti gubat maibusor iti Israel. Nakiuman isuna kadagiti adipenna, a kunana, “Agkampoakto iti kastoy ken kastoy a lugar.”
9 And so the man of God sent to the king of Israel, saying: “Take care not to pass by that place. For the Syrians are there in ambush.”
Isu a nangibaon ti tao ti Dios iti ari ti Israel, a kunana, “Agannadkayo a saan a magna iti dayta a lugar, ta sumalsalog sadiay dagiti Arameo.”
10 And so the king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God had told him, and he prevented it. And he preserved himself, concerning that place, not merely once or twice.
Kalpasanna, nangibaon ti ari ti Israel kadagiti lalaki iti lugar nga impakdaar ti tao ti Dios kenkuana. Namin-anon a daras nga insalakan isuna dayta a pakdaar sadiay.
11 And the heart of the king of Syria was disturbed over this matter. And calling together his servants, he said, “Why have you not revealed to me the one who is betraying me to the king of Israel?”
Nariribukan unay ti panunot ti ari ti Aram maipapan iti daytoy a pakdaar, ket inayabanna dagiti adipenna ket kinunana kadakuada, “Saanyo kadi nga ibaga kaniak no siasino kadatayo ti umay-ayon iti ari ti Israel?
12 And one of his servants said: “By no means, my lord the king! Rather it is the prophet Elisha, who is in Israel, who is revealing to the king of Israel every word whatsoever that you will speak in your conclave.”
Kinuna ngarud ti maysa kadagiti adipenna, “Saan, apok nga ari, ta ni Eliseo a profeta iti Israel ti mangibagbaga iti ari ti Israel kadagiti sasao nga ibagbagam iti siledmo!”
13 And he said to them, “Go, and see where he is, so that I may send and capture him.” And they reported to him, saying, “Behold, he is in Dothan.”
Simmungbat ti ari, “Inkayo kitaen no sadino ti ayan ni Eliseo tapno makaibaonak kadagiti lallaki a mangtiliw kenkuana.” Naibaga kenkuana, “Kitaem, adda isuna idiay Dotan.”
14 Therefore, he sent horses, and chariots, and experienced soldiers to that place. And when they had arrived in the night, they encircled the city.
Isu a nangipatulod ti ari idiay Dotan kadagiti kabalio, karwahe ken nangibaon iti dakkel a bunggoy dagiti armada. Dimtengda sadiay iti rabii ket pinalikmutanda ti siudad.
15 Now the servant of the man of God, arising at first light, went out and saw the army all around the city, with horses and chariots. And he reported it to him, saying: “Alas, alas, alas, my lord! What shall we do?”
Idi nakariing a nasapa ket rimmuar ti adipen ti tao ti Dios, adda met sadiay iti dakkel nga armada agraman dagiti kabalio ken karwahe a nakapalikmot iti siudad. Ket kinuna ti adipen kenni Eliseo, “O, apok! Ania ti aramidentayo?”
16 But he responded: “Do not be afraid. For there are more with us than with them.”
Simmungbat ni Eliseo, “Saanka nga agbuteng, ta ad-adu dagiti kaduatayo ngem dagidiay a kakaduada.”
17 And when Elisha had prayed, he said, “O Lord, open the eyes of this one, so that he may see.” And the Lord opened the eyes of the servant, and he saw. And behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire, all around Elisha.
Nagkararag ni Eliseo ket kinunana, Yahweh, agpakpakaasiak a lukatam dagiti matana tapno makitana.” Kalpasanna, linuktan ni Yahweh dagiti mata ti adipen, ket nakitana. Adtoy, napno ti bantay kadagiti kabalio ken karwahe nga umap-apuy iti likmot ni Eliseo!
18 Then truly, the enemies descended to him. But Elisha prayed to the Lord, saying: “Strike, I beg you, this people with blindness.” And the Lord struck them, so that they would not see, in accord with the word of Elisha.
Idi simmalog dagiti Arameo a napan kenkuana, nagkararag ni Eliseo kenni Yahweh a kinunana, “Dawatek kenka a pagbulsekem dagitoy a tattao.” Isu a pinagbulsek ida ni Yahweh, kas dinawat ni Eliseo.
19 Then Elisha said to them: “This is not the way, and this is not the city. Follow me, and I will reveal to you the man whom you are seeking.” Then he led them into Samaria.
Kalpasanna, imbaga ni Eliseo kadagiti Arameo, “Saan a daytoy ti dalan, wenno ti siudad. Surutendak, ket ipankayo iti tao a birbirukenyo.” Ket inturongna ida idiay Samaria.
20 And when they had entered into Samaria, Elisha said, “O Lord, open the eyes of these ones, so that they may see.” And the Lord opened their eyes, and they saw themselves to be in the midst of Samaria.
Napasamak nga idi nakadanonda idiay Samaria, imbaga ni Eliseo, “Yahweh, luktam dagiti mata dagitoy a tattao tapno makakitada.” Linukatan ni Yahweh dagiti matada ket nakitada, ket adtoy, addada iti tengnga ti siudad ti Samaria.
21 And the king of Israel, when he had seen them, said to Elisha, “My father, should I not strike them?”
Kinuna ti ari ti Israel kenni Eliseo, idi nakitana ida, “Amak, rumbeng kadi a papatayek ida? Rumbeng kadi a patayek ida?
22 And he said: “You should not strike them. For you did not capture them with your sword or bow, so that you might strike them. Instead, set bread and water before them, so that they may eat and drink, and then go to their lord.”
Simmungbat ni Eliseo, “Saan a rumbeng a papatayem ida. Papatayem kadi dagiti natiliwmo a balud babaen kadagiti kampilan ken panam. Mangikabilka iti tinapay ken danum iti sangoananda, tapno mangan ken uminumda, ket mapanda iti apoda.”
23 And a great preparation of foods was placed before them. And they ate and drank. And he dismissed them. And they went away to their lord. And the robbers of Syria no longer came into the land of Israel.
Isu a nangisagana ti ari iti adu a taraon para kadakuada, ket idi nakapangan ken nakainomdan, pinapanawna ida, ket nagsublida iti apoda. Nabayag a panawen a saanen a nagsubli dagidiay a bunggoy dagiti soldado ti Aram iti daga ti Israel.
24 Now it happened that, after these things, Benhadad, the king of Syria, gathered together his entire army, and he ascended and was besieging Samaria.
Iti saan a nabayag kalpasan daytoy, inummong ni Ben Hadad nga ari ti Aram iti amin nga armada ti Aram ket rinautda ti Samaria ket linakubda daytoy.
25 And a great famine occurred in Samaria. And it was blockaded for a long time, until the head of a donkey was sold for eighty pieces of silver, and one fourth part of a pint of pigeons’ dung sold for five silver coins.
Isu nga adda idi ti nakaro a panagbisin idiay Samaria. Adtoy, linakubda daytoy agingga a nailako ti ulo ti asno iti walo pulo a pidaso a pirak, ken ti kakapat a kab ti lugit ti kalapati iti lima a pidaso a pirak.
26 And as the king of Israel was passing by the wall, a certain woman cried out to him, saying, “Save me, my lord the king!”
Kabayatan a magmagna ti ari ti Israel iti rabaw ti pader, nagpukkaw kenkuana ti maysa a babai, kinunana, “Tulong, apok nga ari.”
27 And he said: “If the Lord does not save you, how am I able to save you? From the grain floor, or from the wine press?” And the king said to her, “What is the matter with you?” And she responded:
Kinunana, “No saannaka a tulungan ni Yahweh, kasanoka a matulungan? Adda kadi aniaman nga agtataud iti pagirikan wenno pagpespesan ti arak?”
28 “This woman said to me: ‘Give your son, so that we may eat him today, and we will eat my son tomorrow.’
Intultuloy ti ari, “Ania ti pakarirriribukam? Simmungbat ti babai, “Kinuna daytoy a babai kaniak, 'Itedmo ti anakmo a lalaki tapno kanenta isuna ita nga aldaw, ket kanenta ti anakko inton bigat.”
29 Therefore, we cooked my son, and we ate him. And I said to her on the next day, ‘Give your son, so that we may eat him.’ But she concealed her son.”
Inangermi ngarud ti anakko ket kinnanmi isuna, ket imbagak kenkuana iti sumaruno nga aldaw, “Itedmo ti anakmo ta kanenta isuna, ngem inlemmengna ti anakna.”
30 When the king had heard this, he tore his garments, and he passed along the wall. And all the people saw the haircloth that he had worn underneath, beside his flesh.
Idi nangngeg ti ari dagiti sao ti babai, rinay-abna dagiti kawesna (ita, magmagna ti ari iti rabaw ti pader), ket kimmita dagiti tattao ket nakitada a nakersang a lupot iti pang-uneg a kawesna.
31 And the king said, “May God do these things to me, and may he add these other things, if the head of Elisha, the son of Shaphat, will remain on him this day!”
Ket kinunana, “Kastoy koma met ti aramiden ti Dios kaniak, ken ad-adda pay koma, no ti ulo ni Eliseo nga anak ni Safat ket agtalinaed pay kenkuana ita nga aldaw.”
32 Now Elisha was sitting in his house, and the elders were sitting with him. And so he sent a man ahead. And before that messenger arrived, he said to the elders: “Do you not know that this son of a murderer is sending someone to cut off my head? Therefore, watch, and when the messenger arrives, close the door. And you shall not permit him to enter. For behold, the sound of his lord’s feet is behind him.”
Ngem agtugtugaw idi ni Eliseo iti uneg ti balayna, ket kaduana nga agtugtugaw dagiti panglakayen. Nangibaon ti ari iti tao manipud iti sangoananna, ngem idi napan ti mensahero kenni Eliseo, kinunana kadagiti panglakayen, “Kitaenyo no kasano a nangibaon daytoy nga anak ti mammapatay iti umay mangputed iti ulok? Kastoy, inton umay ti mensahero, irekepyo ti ridaw, ket saanyo nga ilukatan isuna. Saan kadi a ti uni dagiti saka ti amona iti sumarsaruno kenkuana?”
33 While he was still speaking to them, the messenger appeared who was sent to him. And he said: “Behold, such a great evil is from the Lord! What more should I expect from the Lord?”
Kabayatan a makisarsarita pay laeng ni Eliseo kadakuada, adtoy, ti mensahero ket napan kenkuana. Kinuna ti ari, “Adtoy, daytoy a rigat ket naggapu kenni Yahweh. Apay koma nga agurayak pay laeng kenni Yahweh?”
