< 2 Kings 6 >
1 And the sons of the prophets said to Elisha, Behold now, the place where we dwell before thee is too strait for us.
Àwọn ọmọ wòlíì sọ fún Eliṣa pé, “Wò ó, ní ibi tí a ti pàdé pẹ̀lú rẹ, ó kéré fún wa.
2 Let us go, we pray thee, to the Jordan, and take thence every man a beam, and let us make us a place there, where we may dwell. And he said, Go.
Jẹ́ kí àwa kí ó lọ sí Jordani, ní ibi tí ẹnìkọ̀ọ̀kan ti le rí ọ̀pá kan, jẹ́ kí àwa kí ó kọ́lé síbẹ̀ fún wa láti gbé.” Ó sì wí pé, “Lọ.”
3 And one said, Consent, I pray thee, to go with thy servants. And he said, I will go.
Nígbà náà ni ọ̀kan lára wọn wí pé, “Kí ó wù ọ́, èmí bẹ̀ ọ́, láti bá àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ lọ?” Eliṣa dá a lóhùn pé, “Èmi yóò lọ,”
4 And he went with them. And they came to the Jordan and cut down the trees.
Ó sì lọ pẹ̀lú wọn. Wọ́n sì lọ sí Jordani wọ́n sì bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí ní gé igi.
5 And it came to pass as one was felling a beam, that the iron fell into the water; and he cried and said, Alas, master, and it was borrowed!
Bí ọ̀kan ṣe gé igi náà, àáké irin náà bọ́ sínú omi, ó kígbe sókè pé, “O! Olúwa mi, mo yá a ni!”
6 And the man of God said, Where did it fall? And he shewed him the place. And he cut down a stick, and cast it in thither, and made the iron to swim.
Ènìyàn Ọlọ́run sì béèrè pé, “Níbo ni ó bọ́ sí?” Nígbà tí ó fi ibẹ̀ hàn án, Eliṣa gé igi kan ó sì jù ú síbẹ̀, ó sì mú irin náà fò lójú omi.
7 And he said, Take [it] up to thee. And he put out his hand and took it.
Ó wí pé, “Gbé e jáde.” Lẹ́yìn náà ọkùnrin náà na ọwọ́ rẹ̀ jáde ó sì mú un.
8 And the king of Syria warred against Israel; and he took counsel with his servants, saying, In such and such a place [shall be] my camp.
Nísinsin yìí ọba Aramu wà ní ogun pẹ̀lú Israẹli ó sì bá àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ gbèrò, ó wí pé, “Èmi yóò ṣe ibùdó mi sí ibí yìí nínú èyí náà àti bí ibí yìí.”
9 And the man of God sent to the king of Israel, saying, Beware that thou pass not such a place, for thither the Syrians are come down.
Ènìyàn Ọlọ́run rán iṣẹ́ sí ọba Israẹli pé, “Kíyèsi ara láti kọjá ní ibẹ̀ yẹn, nítorí pé ará Aramu wọ́n sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ síbẹ̀.”
10 And the king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God told him and warned him of, and he was on his guard there. [That took place] not once, nor twice.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ọba Israẹli wo ibi tí ènìyàn Ọlọ́run náà fihàn, ní ẹ̀ẹ̀kan sí i Eliṣa kìlọ̀ fún ọba, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ó wà lórí sísọ ní ibẹ̀.
11 And the heart of the king of Syria was troubled because of this thing; and he called his servants, and said to them, Will ye not shew me which of us is for the king of Israel?
Èyí mú ọba Aramu bínú. Ó pe àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀, ó sì béèrè lọ́wọ́ wọn pé, “Ṣé ìwọ kò ní sọ fún mi èwo nínú wa ni ó wà ní ẹ̀gbẹ́ ọba Israẹli?”
12 And one of his servants said, None, my lord, O king; but Elisha, the prophet that is in Israel, tells the king of Israel the words that thou speakest in thy bedchamber.
Ọ̀kan lára ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ sì wí pé, “Kò sí ọ̀kan nínú wa, olúwa ọba mi, ṣùgbọ́n Eliṣa, wòlíì tí ó wà ní Israẹli, sọ fún ọba Israẹli ọ̀rọ̀ gangan tí ó sọ nínú yàrá rẹ̀.”
13 And he said, Go and see where he is, and I will send and fetch him. And it was told him saying, Behold, he is in Dothan.
Ọba pa á láṣẹ, “Lọ, kí ẹ lọ wo ibi tí ó wà, kí èmi kí ó lè rán ènìyàn láti lọ mú un wá.” Ìròyìn padà wá wí pé, “Ó wà ní Dotani.”
14 And he sent thither horses and chariots, and a great host, and they came by night and surrounded the city.
Nígbà náà ni ó rán àwọn ẹṣin àti kẹ̀kẹ́ àti ogun ńlá tí ó le síbẹ̀. Wọ́n sì lọ ní alẹ́ wọ́n sì yí ìlú náà ká.
15 And when the attendant of the man of God rose early and went forth, behold, an army surrounded the city, with horses and chariots. And his servant said to him, Alas, my master! how shall we do?
Nígbà tí ìránṣẹ́ ènìyàn Ọlọ́run dìde ó sì jáde lọ ní òwúrọ̀ kùtùkùtù ọjọ́ kejì, ogun pẹ̀lú ẹṣin àti kẹ̀kẹ́ wọn ti yí ìlú náà ká. “Yé è, olúwa mi! Kí ni kí àwa kí ó ṣe?” ìránṣẹ́ náà béèrè.
16 And he said, Fear not, for they that are with us are more than they that are with them.
“Má ṣe bẹ̀rù,” wòlíì náà dáhùn, “Àwọn tí ó wà pẹ̀lú wa, wọ́n pọ̀ ju àwọn tí ó wà pẹ̀lú wọn lọ.”
17 And Elisha prayed and said, Jehovah, I pray thee, open his eyes that he may see. And Jehovah opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw; and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.
Eliṣa sì gbàdúrà, “Olúwa, la ojú rẹ̀ kí ó ba à lè ríran.” Nígbà náà Olúwa la ojú ìránṣẹ́ náà, ó sì wò, ó sì rí òkè ńlá tí ó kún fún ẹṣin àti kẹ̀kẹ́ iná gbogbo yí Eliṣa ká.
18 And they came down to him; and Elisha prayed to Jehovah and said, Smite this nation, I pray thee, with blindness. And he smote them with blindness according to the word of Elisha.
Bí àwọn ọ̀tá ṣe ń sọ̀kalẹ̀ wá níwájú rẹ, Eliṣa gbàdúrà sí Olúwa pé. “Bu ìfọ́jú lu àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí,” Olúwa sì ṣe gẹ́gẹ́ bí Eliṣa ti béèrè.
19 And Elisha said to them, This is not the way, neither is this the city: follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom ye seek. And he led them to Samaria.
Eliṣa sọ fún wọn pé, “Èyí kì í ṣe ọ̀nà bẹ́ẹ̀ ni èyí kì í ṣe ìlú náà. Tẹ̀lé mi, èmi yóò mú u yín lọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ ọkùnrin tí ẹ̀yin ń wá.” Ó sì sìn wọ́n lọ sí Samaria.
20 And it came to pass when they entered into Samaria, that Elisha said, Jehovah, open the eyes of these [men] that they may see. And Jehovah opened their eyes, and they saw, and behold, they were in the midst of Samaria.
Lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí wọ́n wọ ìlú náà, Eliṣa wí pé, “Olúwa, la ojú àwọn ọkùnrin wọ̀nyí kí wọn kí ó lè ríran.” Nígbà náà Olúwa la ojú wọn, wọ́n sì ríran, wọ́n sì wà níbẹ̀, nínú Samaria.
21 And the king of Israel said to Elisha, when he saw them, My father, shall I smite? shall I smite [them]?
Nígbà tí ọba Israẹli rí wọn, ó béèrè lọ́wọ́ Eliṣa pé, “Ṣé kí èmi kí ó pa wọ́n, baba mi? Ṣé kí èmi kí ó pa wọ́n?”
22 And he said, Thou shalt not smite [them]: wouldest thou smite those whom thou hast taken captive with thy sword and with thy bow? Set bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink, and go to their master.
“Má ṣe pa wọ́n,” ó dáhùn. “Ṣé ìwọ yóò pa àwọn ọkùnrin tí ìwọ mú pẹ̀lú idà rẹ tàbí ọrun rẹ? Gbé oúnjẹ àti omi síwájú wọn kí wọn kí ó lè jẹ kí wọn sì mu, nígbà náà kí wọn padà lọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ ọ̀gá wọn.”
23 And he prepared a great repast for them, and they ate and drank; and he sent them away, and they went to their master. And the bands of Syria came no more into the land of Israel.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ó pèsè àsè ńlá fún wọn, lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí wọ́n jẹ tí wọ́n mu, ó sì rán wọn lọ, wọ́n sì padà sí ọ̀dọ̀ ọ̀gá wọn. Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ẹgbẹ́ láti Aramu dáwọ́ ìgbógunti ilẹ̀ Israẹli dúró.
24 And it came to pass after this that Ben-Hadad king of Syria gathered all his army, and went up and besieged Samaria.
Lẹ́yìn ìgbà díẹ̀, ni Beni-Hadadi ọba Aramu kó gbogbo àwọn ogun rẹ̀ jọ wọ́n sì yan sókè wọ́n sì dúró ti Samaria.
25 And there was a great famine in Samaria; and behold, they besieged it, until an ass's head was worth eighty silver-pieces, and the fourth part of a cab of dove's dung five silver-pieces.
Ìyàn ńlá sì mú ní ìlú Samaria; wọ́n dúró tí ì tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí a fi ń ta orí kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ kan ní ọgọ́rùn-ún ìwọ̀n fàdákà àti ìdámẹ́rin òsùwọ̀n kábù imí ẹyẹlé, fún ìwọ̀n fàdákà márùn-ún.
26 And it came to pass as the king of Israel was passing by upon the wall, there cried a woman to him saying, Help, my lord O king!
Gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọba Israẹli ti ń kọjá lọ lórí odi, obìnrin kan sọkún sí i pé, “Ràn mí lọ́wọ́, olúwa ọba mi!”
27 And he said, If Jehovah do not help thee, whence should I help thee? Out of the threshing-floor, or out of the winepress?
Ọba sì dá a lóhùn pé, “Bí Olúwa kò bá gbà ọ́, níbo ni èmi yóò gbé ti gbà ọ́? Láti inú ilẹ̀ ìpakà, tàbí láti inú ibi ìfúntí?”
28 And the king said to her, What aileth thee? And she said, This woman said to me, Give thy son, that we may eat him to-day, and we will eat my son to-morrow.
Nígbà náà ọba béèrè lọ́wọ́ obìnrin náà pé, “Kí ni ó ṣẹlẹ̀?” Obìnrin náà dáhùn pé, “Obìnrin yìí wí fún mi pé, ‘Mú ọmọkùnrin rẹ wá kí àwa kí ó lè jẹ ẹ́ lónìí, ní ọ̀la àwa yóò jẹ ọmọkùnrin tèmi.’
29 And we boiled my son, and ate him: and I said to her on the next day, Give thy son, that we may eat him; and she has hidden her son.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni a ṣe ọmọkùnrin mi a sì jẹ ẹ́. Ní ọjọ́ kejì mo wí fún un pé, ‘Mú ọmọkùnrin rẹ wá kí àwa kí ó lè jẹ,’ ṣùgbọ́n ó ti gbé e pamọ́.”
30 And it came to pass when the king heard the words of the woman, that he rent his garments; and he was passing by upon the wall, and the people looked, and behold, he had sackcloth within upon his flesh.
Nígbà tí ọba gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ obìnrin náà, ó fa aṣọ rẹ̀ ya. Gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó sì ti ń kọjá lọ sí orí odi, àwọn ènìyàn wò ó níbẹ̀ ní abẹ́, ó ní aṣọ ọ̀fọ̀ ní ara rẹ̀.
31 And he said, God do so, and more also to me, if the head of Elisha the son of Shaphat shall remain on him this day!
Ó sì wí pé, “Kí Ọlọ́run kí ó fi ìyà jẹ mí, àti jù bẹ́ẹ̀ lọ dájúdájú, pé orí ọmọkùnrin Eliṣa ọmọ Ṣafati kì ó wà ní ọrùn rẹ̀ ní òní!”
32 And Elisha sat in his house, and the elders sat with him. And [the king] sent a man before him. Before the messenger came to him, he himself said to the elders, Do ye see how this son of a murderer has sent to take away my head? See, when the messenger comes; shut the door, and keep him off with the door: is not the sound of his master's feet behind him?
Nísinsin yìí Eliṣa jókòó ní ilé rẹ̀ àwọn àgbàgbà náà jókòó pẹ̀lú rẹ̀. Ọba sì rán oníṣẹ́ síwájú rẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n kí ó tó dé ibẹ̀, Eliṣa sọ fún àwọn àgbàgbà pé, “Ṣé ẹ̀yin kò rí bí apànìyàn ti ń rán ẹnìkan láti gé orí mi kúrò?

33 And while he yet talked with them, behold, the messenger came down to him. And [the king] said, Behold, this evil is of Jehovah: why should I wait for Jehovah any longer?
Nígbà tí ó sì ń sọ̀rọ̀ sí wọn, ìránṣẹ́ náà sọ̀kalẹ̀ wá bá a. Ọba náà sì wí pé, “Ibi yìí láti ọ̀dọ̀ Olúwa ni. Kí ni ó dé tí èmi yóò fi dúró de Olúwa sí i?”
