< 2 Kings 4 >
1 The wife of one of the sons of the prophets appealed to Elisha, “My husband, your servant, is dead, and you know that he honored the Lord. But now to pay his debts his creditor is coming to take my two sons as his slaves!”
Profet capa a yunaw thung dawk hoi napui buet touh ni, Elisha koe na san e a vâ teh a due toe. Na san ni teh, BAWIPA a taki tie hai na panue. Laiba ka ba pouh e tami niyah, ka ca roi heh san lah hrawi hane a tho toe telah runae kong hah a dei pouh.
2 “What can I do to help you?” asked Elisha. “Tell me, what do you have in your house?” “I, your servant, don't have anything in my house except a jar of olive oil,” she replied.
Elisha ni napui koevah, bangmaw na sak pouh han. Im vah bangmaw na tawn, na dei pouh haw, telah atipouh. Napui ni, satuium buet touh hloilah teh banghai im dawk ka tawn e awm hoeh atipouh.
3 “Go and borrow empty jars from your neighbors—as many as possible, not just a few,” Elisha told her.
Ahni ni cet nateh na imrinaw e hlaam a tawn e hlai loe atipouh.
4 “Then go inside, shut the door behind you and your sons, and start pouring olive oil into all these jars, placing the full jars to one side.”
Hahoi kâen awh nateh, nang nama hoi na capanaw hoi imthung vah tho kâkhan awh nateh, hlaamnaw pueng dawk satui hah hlun awh nateh kakawi e naw pueng teh alouklah tat awh atipouh.
5 She left Elisha, went home, and shut the door behind her and her sons. They brought the jars to her and she kept on pouring.
Ahni koehoi a cei teh, ama hoi a capanaw hoi im tho a kâkhan awh teh, hlaam a dâw pouh teh, ahnimouh ni a hlun awh.
6 When all the jars were full, she told her son, “Bring me another one.” But he replied, “There aren't any jars left.” Then the olive oil stopped flowing.
Hlaam akawi hoi a capa koe, Hlaam na poe ei atipouh. Ahni ni hlaam awm hoeh toe ati hoi teh satui roup a hak.
7 She went and told the man of God what had happened, and he said, “Go and sell the olive oil and pay your debts, and you and your sons can live on what's left.”
Hahoi teh Cathut tami ni cet awh lawih, satui hah yawt awh nateh na laiba teh patho lawih. Ka cawi e teh na canaw hoi na khosak na koe hno awh lawih telah atipouh.
8 One day as Elisha was passing through Shunem, a wealthy woman who lived there convinced him to have a meal. After that, whenever he was passing by he would stop there to eat.
Hnin touh teh, ELisha hah Shunem kho a cei. Hawvah ka tawnta e napui ao teh, hote napui ni bu a kaw khai. Hottelah a cei nah tangkuem haw vah bu ca hanlah ouk a luen pouh.
9 She told her husband, “I'm sure that this man who regularly visits us is a holy man of God.
Napui ni a vâ koevah khenhaw! maimouh roi pou na ka pâtam e heh Cathut e tami kathoung doeh tie ka panue.
10 Please let's make a small room on the roof, We can put a bed, a table, a chair, and a lamp in it for him. Then he can stay there whenever he visits us.”
Tho haw, im van kathoungcalah, sak pouh haw sei, ikhun caboi, tungkhung hoi hmaiimkhok hrueng pouh haw sei, hahoi teh maimouh koe a tho karoitawi a kâen, a luen nahanlah atipouh.
11 One day Elisha arrived and went up to his room and lay down.
Hnin touh hnin teh bout a cei teh, im a sak pouh e dawkvah a roe.
12 He said to his servant Gehazi, “Ask the Shunammite woman to come here.” Gehazi called her and she came to see Elisha.
Hahoi a san Gehazi koe hete Shunam napui heh kaw haw atipouh. A kaw teh a hmalah a kangdue sak.
13 Elisha said to Gehazi, “Please tell her, ‘You have gone to a lot of trouble on our behalf. Now what can we do for you? Do you want us to speak for you to the king or the army commander?’” “I live with my own people,” she replied.
Elisha ni nang ni na khetyawt, nang hanlah bangmaw na sak pouh han, siangpahrang thoseh, ransabawi thoseh, na pato pouh hanelah na ngai maw telah napui koe a dei pouh. Napui ni ka hmaunawngha hoi miphunnaw koe doeh kho ka sak atipouh.
14 After she had left, Elisha asked, “What can we do for her?” “She doesn't have a son, and her husband is old,” Gehazi replied.
Elisha ni, bangmaw kai ni na sak pouh han vai atipouh. Gehazi ni, atangcalah tetpawiteh, a capa tawn roi hoeh ni teh a vâ haiyah a matawng toe atipouh.
15 Elisha said, “Ask her to come back.” So Gehazi called her, and she came stood by the door.
Ahni ni napui kaw haw, atipouh, a kaw teh napui teh takhang koe a kangdue.
16 Elisha told her, “Around this time next year, you will be holding a son in your arms.” “No, my lord!” she responded. “Man of God, don't tell your servant lies!”
Elisha ni atu e tuektue a pha toteh ca tongpa na tawm han atipouh. Napui ni telah nahoeh ka bawipa, nang Cathut e tami na sannu koe laithoe dei hanh atipouh.
17 But the woman did indeed become pregnant, and the next year around that same time she gave birth to a son, just as Elisha had promised her.
Hahoi napui teh camo a vawn. Elisha ni ahni koe a dei e patetlah hote tue nah camo a khe.
18 The child grew up, but one day he when went out to see his father who was with the reapers,
Camo teh a roung teh hnin touh teh a na pa canganae koe a cei van.
19 he complained to his father, “My head hurts! My head hurts!” His father told one of his servants, “Carry him back to his mother.”
Hahoi teh a na pa koe ka lû a pataw, ka lû a pataw, telah a dei pouh. A sanpa koevah a manu koe cetkhai haw atipouh.
20 The servant picked him up and took him back to his mother. The boy sat on her lap until noon, and then he died.
A ceikhai teh a manu koe a phakhai toteh a phai dawk kanîthun totouh a tahung teh oun a due.
21 She went upstairs and laid him on the bed of the man of God. Then she shut the door behind her and left.
Napui ni im van a luenkhai teh Cathut tami e ikhun dawk a payan. Tho khik a khan teh a tâco takhai.
22 She called her husband and said, “Please send me one of the servants and a donkey so I can run to the man of God and come back.”
A vâ hah a kaw teh, pahren lahoi na san hoi la buet touh na rakueng pouh haw, Cathut e tami koe ka yawng vaiteh, bout ka ban han atipouh.
23 “Why do you need to go and see him today?” he asked. “It's not the New Moon or the Sabbath.” “Don't worry about it,” she replied.
A vâ ni, bangkongmaw sahnin kuekluek ahni koe cei han na kâcai. Thapa hai rei hoeh rah, sabbath hnin lah hai tho hoeh atipouh toteh, napui ni telah ma, ahawi doeh atipouh.
24 She put the saddle on the donkey and told her servant, “Let's go quickly! Don't slow down for me unless I tell you to!”
La e a hnukthun a padoun pouh teh, a sanpa koe yawng sak haw, pou cetsak lawih. Kâ na poe hoehroukrak hnawng sak hanh loe atipouh.
25 So she set off, and went to the man of God who was at Mount Carmel. When he saw her way in the distance, the man of God told his servant Gehazi, “Look! There's the Shunammite woman!
A cei teh, Cathut e tami koe Karmel mon vah a cei. Cathut e tami ni ahla poungnae koehoi a hmu nah, a sanpa Gehazi koevah, khenhaw! hot teh Shunam napui doeh khe.
26 Please run to meet her and ask her, ‘Is everything fine with you, your husband, and your boy?’” “Everything's fine,” she replied.
Ahni dawn hanelah, yawng nateh ahni koevah na dam maw, na vâ a dam maw, camo hah a dam maw telah tet pouh. Napui ni ka dam doeh atipouh.
27 But when she got to the man of God at the mountain, she grabbed hold of his feet. Gehazi came over to push her away, but the man of God said, “Leave her alone, for she's in terrible misery, but the Lord has hidden it from me and has not explained it to me.”
Hahoi mon vah Cathut e tami koe a pha toteh, a khok a tapam pouh teh, ahni ngang hanelah, Gehazi teh a tho. Hatei Cathut tami ni ngang hanh. Bangkongtetpawiteh, a lungreithai dawk doeh atipouh. BAWIPA ni kai koe a hro rah na dei pouh hoeh rae doeh telah atipouh.
28 “Did I ask you for a son, my lord?” she asked. “Didn't I tell you, ‘Don't tell me lies’?”
Napui ni, ka bawipa, capa hah kai ni kahei maw Na dum han loe ka ti nahoehmaw telah atipouh.
29 Elisha said to Gehazi, “Put your cloak in your belt, pick up my staff, and go! Don't even say hello to anyone you meet, and if anyone says hello you, don't reply. Place my staff on the boy's face.”
Ahni ni, Gehazi koevah, na hni na keng dawk yeng leih. Na sonron heh sin nateh cet, na kâhmo e naw pueng a kut man hanh. Ayâ ni na kut ka man nakunghai man hanh. Kaie ka sonron heh camo e minhmai van toung pouh loe atipouh.
30 But the boy's mother said, “As the Lord lives and as you live, I'm not leaving without you!” So he got up and went with her.
Camo manu ni, BAWIPA hoi nang na hring e patetlah kai ni na tha roeroe mahoeh. Hahoi a thaw teh a kâbang.
31 Gehazi ran on ahead and placed the staff on the boy's face, but there was no sound or sign of life. So Gehazi went back to meet Elisha and told him, “The boy hasn't woken up.”
Gehazi ni, hmalah pou a yawngtahrei teh, sonron teh camo e minhmai dawk a toung pouh. Hatei camo teh kâroe hoeh a lawk tho hoeh. Hahoi teh ama kâhmo hanlah bout a ban teh. Ama koe camo teh kâhlaw hoeh atipouh.
32 When Elisha got to the house, there was the boy, lying dead on his bed.
ELisha teh im a kâen navah, khenhaw! camo teh yo a due dawkvah, ikhun dawkvah a payan roi.
33 He went in, shut the door behind them both, and prayed to the Lord.
Hatdawkvah a kâen teh tho rouk a khan. BAWIPA koevah a ratoum.
34 Then he got on the bed and lay on top of the boy, and put his mouth on the boy's mouth, his eyes on the boy's eyes, his hands on the boy's hands. As he stretched out on him, the boy's body warmed up.
Im van a luen teh camo e van vah a tabo. Apâhni hoi a pahni a mit hoi mit, a kut hoi kut a ta sin teh, a tabo sin. Hottelah hoi camo e tak teh phubet hruethruet ao.
35 Elisha got up, walked back and forth once in the room, and then got back on the bed and stretched out on him again. The boy sneezed seven times and then opened his eyes.
A kum teh imvan vah a kâhlai, bout a luen teh, a van rek a tabo sin, hahoi camo teh vai sari touh a ekthi teh a mit a padai.
36 Elisha called Gehazi and said, “Ask the Shunammite woman to come.” So he did. When she arrived, Elisha said to her, “Here's your son. You can pick him up.”
Gehazi a kaw teh, Shunam napui kaw haw atipouh. A kaw teh ahni koe a pha awh toteh, na capa tawm haw atipouh.
37 She came in, fell at his feet, and bowed to the ground. Then she picked up her son and left.
Hahoi imthung a kâen teh a khok koe a tabo pouh. A capa teh a tawm teh a tâcokhai.
38 When Elisha went back to Gilgal, there was a famine in that area. The sons of the prophets were sitting at his feet, and he said to his servant, “Use the large pot and boil some stew for the sons of the prophets.”
Elisha teh Gilgal vah a ban teh, a ram dawk takang a tho. Hahoi profet capanaw a hmalah a tahung teh, a sanpa koevah hlaam kalen pui dawkvah, profet capanaw hane anhang dam pouh loe atipouh.
39 One of them went out into the countryside to pick herbs. He found a wild vine and picked as many wild gourds as his cloak could hold. Then he came back and chopped them up into the pot of stew. But nobody knew they were dangerous to eat.
Hahoi tami buet touh kahrawng lah a tawng teh kahrawng tangdun hah a hmu teh, kahrawng tuium pawnaw hah a khi teh be a bawng hnukkhu, a thawng e dawk a thum. Bangnama aw ti teh panuek hoeh.
40 They served it to the men to eat, but when they tasted the stew they shouted, “There's death in the pot, man of God!” They couldn't eat it.
Hahoi a ca hanlah a so teh, hote anhang a pahra navah Aiyoe! oe Cathut tami hlaam dawk duenae ao atipouh teh, cat thai awh hoeh.
41 Elisha said, “Get some flour.” He threw it into the pot, and said, “Serve it to the people to eat.” There was nothing bad to eat in the pot.
Ahni ni, vaiyei na poe awh haw atipouh. Hlaam dawk a thum pouh teh hetnaw heh ca hanelah so haw, atipouh. Hahoi teh hlaam dawk banghai takinae awm hoeh toe.
42 A man from Baal-shalishah came to the man of God with a sack of firstfruits—the first grain of the year, along with twenty loaves of barley bread. “Give it to the people to eat,” said Elisha.
Baalshalisha koe lahoi tami buet touh a tho teh, Cathut e tami hanlah cang aluepaw hoi yei e vaiyei, 20 touh hoi apawhiknaw hai cawngko dawk hoi a sin pouh. Elisha ni hete taminaw paca loe atipouh.
43 “How can I serve just twenty loaves to a hundred men?” his servant asked. “Give it to the people to eat,” said Elisha, “for this is what the Lord says: ‘They will eat and there will still be some left over.’”
Hatei a sannaw ni, bangtelane, hete tami 100 touh hmalah ka tâcokhai han na maw atipouh. Oe hetnaw a ca hanelah poe loe. Bangkongtetpawiteh, BAWIPA ni telah a dei. Cat awh vaiteh puk a cawi han atipouh.
44 So he served the bread to them. They ate, and had some left over, just as the Lord had said.
Hahoi teh a paawng awh teh a ca awh. BAWIPA ni a dei e patetlah pukcawi pouh.
