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!”
Dhako moro mane chwore otho ma chworeno ne en achiel kuom kanyakla mag jonabi notero ywakne ne Elisha niya, “Jatichni ma en chwora otho kendo ingʼeyo ni ne oluoro Jehova Nyasaye. To koro sani, jabendho mane en-gi gope dwaro kawo yawuota ariyo mondo obed wasumbini mage.”
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 nodwoke niya, “Ere kaka anyalo konyi? Nyisa ane angʼo ma in-go e odi?” Nodwoke niya, “Jatichni onge gimoro amora makmana mo matin.”
3 “Go and borrow empty jars from your neighbors—as many as possible, not just a few,” Elisha told her.
Elisha nowachone niya, “Dhiyo mondo ikwa joma udakgo machiegni mondo omiyi dapige man nono, kendo kik ikwa manok.
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.”
Bangʼ mano donjuru e ot in kaachiel gi yawuoti kendo ulor dhoot. Ol morno e agulnigo duto, kendo ka moro ka moro osepongʼ, to iket tenge.”
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.
Omiyo dhakono nodhi moloro dhoot ka en kaachiel gi yawuote. Negigemone agulni kendo en to nosiko kopongʼogi gi mo.
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.
Kane agulnigo duto osepongʼ ne owachone achiel kuom yawuote niya, “Kelna machielo.” Nodwoke niya, “Onge agulu moro makoro odongʼ.” E sa nogono mo noweyo chwer.
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.”
Dhakono nodhi ir ngʼat Nyasaye mowachone gima osetimore. Eka ngʼat Nyasaye nowachone niya, “Dhiyo mondo ilok modhigo pesa kendo ichulgo gope ma in-go. In kod yawuoti unyalo konyoru gi mago modongʼ.”
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.
Chiengʼ moro achiel Elisha nodhi Shunem. Dhako moro ma jamoko ahinya mane odak e pinyno nokwaye mondo oraw e ode mondo ochamie gimoro. Omiyo kinde duto mane oyudo okalo kanyo, norawo e odno mondo ochiem.
9 She told her husband, “I'm sure that this man who regularly visits us is a holy man of God.
Nowachone chwore niya, “Angʼeyo ni ngʼat ma jabiro ka en ngʼat Nyasaye maler.
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.”
Wagerne ot moro ewi odwa ka mondo waketne kitanda, mesa, kom kod taya mondo oyweye e kinde duto ma obiro ka.”
11 One day Elisha arrived and went up to his room and lay down.
Chiengʼ moro achiel kane Elisha obiro, nodhi e ot mane oselosne cha, kendo nonindo koyweyo kanyo.
12 He said to his servant Gehazi, “Ask the Shunammite woman to come here.” Gehazi called her and she came to see Elisha.
Ne owacho ne jatichne Gehazi niya, “Luongna chi Shunam-no.” Omiyo noluonge mi dhakono nobiro mochungʼ e nyime.
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 nowachone Gehazi niya, “Nyis dhakono ni, ‘Kaka isekawo tingʼwani, koro en angʼo ma dwatimni? Dibedie gi kwayo moro ma dwatimni e nyim ruoth kata jatend lweny?’” To dhakono nodwoko niya, “Adak gi kwe e kind ogandana.”
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 nopenjo Gehazi niya, “Angʼo ma onego timne?” Gehazi nodwoke niya, “Oonge wuowi kendo chwore bende oseti.”
15 Elisha said, “Ask her to come back.” So Gehazi called her, and she came stood by the door.
Eka Elisha nokone niya, “Luonge.” Omiyo noluonge mochungʼ e wangʼ dhoot.
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 nowachone niya, “E kinde ma kama e higa mabiro, ibiro tingʼo nyathi ma wuowi e badi.” Dhakono nowachone niya, “Ruodha, kik iwuond jatichni, yaye ngʼat Nyasaye!”
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.
Dhakono nomako ich kendo kane ochopo higa machielo e kinde machal kamano, nonywolo wuowi mana kaka Elisha nowachone.
18 The child grew up, but one day he when went out to see his father who was with the reapers,
Nyathino nodongo kendo chiengʼ moro achiel nodhi ir wuon, mane nigi jokeyo.
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.”
Noywak kodhi ir wuon niya, “Wiya bara! Wiya bara!” Wuon mare nowachone jotichne niya, “Tingʼeuru kendo utere ir min-gi.”
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.
Kane jotich osetingʼe motere ir min mare, wuowino nonindo e tie min nyaka odiechiengʼ tir, eka notho.
21 She went upstairs and laid him on the bed of the man of God. Then she shut the door behind her and left.
Dhakono nokawo nyathino modhi opielo e kitanda jatich Nyasaye, eka noloro dhoot mi owuok.
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.”
Ne oluongo chwore mi owachone niya, “Yie ior achiel kuom jotich okelna punda mondo adhigo ir ngʼat Nyasaye mapiyo kaka nyalore eka aduog piyo.”
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.
To nopenje niya, “Angʼo momiyo idwaro dhi ire kawuono, to pok ochopo Sawo mar Dwe Manyien kata Sabato?” En to nodwoke niya, “Onge rach moro.”
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!”
Dhakono nosembo pundano kendo nowachone jatichne niya, “Tel nyima kendo kik irita makmana kawachoni.”
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!
Eka nodhi motundo ir ngʼat Nyasaye e got Karmel. Kane onene gichien kobiro, ngʼat Nyasaye ne okone jatichne ma Gehazi niya, “Ne! Chi Shunam cha biro!
26 Please run to meet her and ask her, ‘Is everything fine with you, your husband, and your boy?’” “Everything's fine,” she replied.
Ringi idhi iromne mondo ipenje ni, ‘Bende in kare? Chwori bende nikare? To nyathi nikare?’” Dhakono nodwoke niya, “Gik moko duto nikare.”
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.”
To kane ochopo ir ngʼat Nyasaye e got, nopodho e tiende, Gehazi ne obiro gole kanyo, to ngʼat Nyasaye nokwero Gehazi niya, Weye! En kod lit e chunye, makmana Jehova Nyasaye osepandona wachni kendo ok osenyisa gima omiyo.
28 “Did I ask you for a son, my lord?” she asked. “Didn't I tell you, ‘Don't tell me lies’?”
Dhakono nopenje niya, “Ruodha, bende dine akwayie nyathi ma wuowi? Donge ne akweri ni kik imiya abed gi geno?”
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.”
Eka Elisha nokone Gehazi niya, “Ngʼwan lepi, kaw ludha kendo ichak wuoth. Kik imos ngʼato angʼata miromogo e yo. Kichopo to iriw ludhani e lela wangʼ nyathi.”
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.
To min nyathi nowacho kama, “Akwongʼora gi nying Jehova Nyasaye kod nyingi iwuon ni ok anaweyi.” Omiyo noa malo moluwo dhakono.
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 notelonigi moriwo ludhno e lela wangʼ nyathi, to ne ok chunye odwogo. Omiyo Gehazi nodok ir Elisha mowachone niya, “Wuowi pok ochier.”
32 When Elisha got to the house, there was the boy, lying dead on his bed.
Kane Elisha ochopo e odno wuowi pod ne nindo e kitandane.
33 He went in, shut the door behind them both, and prayed to the Lord.
Ne odonjo e ot mi oloro dhoot modongʼ kende gi nyathino mondo olam Jehova Nyasaye.
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.
Eka ne osudo e kitanda ma oriere kuom wuowino, ka dhoge ochomo dhoge, wangʼe bende ochomo wangʼe kendo lwete kuom lwet nyathi. Kane oyudo oriere kuom nyathino, dend nyathino nochako yudo liet.
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.
Elisha nochungʼ mowuotho e odno koni gi koni kendo ochako dok moriere kuome e kitanda. Nyathino nogir nyadibiriyo mi wengene noyawore.
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.”
Elisha noluongo Gehazi mowachone niya, “Luong chi Shunem-cha.” Kendo Gehazi notimo kamano. Kane chi Shunam cha obiro, Elisha nowachone niya, “Kaw wuodi.”
37 She came in, fell at his feet, and bowed to the ground. Then she picked up her son and left.
Dhakono nodonjo e ot mogoyo chonge e tiend Elisha mi okulore nyaka e lowo. Bangʼ mano nokawo wuode mi odhi.
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 noduogo Gilgal kendo kech ne omako piny. Kane kanyakla mar jonabi obiro nene nowachone jatichne niya, “Ket agulu maduongʼ mondo ilos kado ne jowetegi.”
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.
Achiel kuom jonabigo nodhi ngʼweto e pewe ma giyudo alode makech kod mzabibu ma ok nyal cham; kendo nochoko olembe mage motingʼogi e lawe. Kane odwogo nongʼadogi moketogi ei aguch tedo, kata kamano onge ngʼama nongʼeyo ni gin angʼo.
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.
Bangʼ mano, ne ool kadoni ne jonabigi, to kane gichako chiemo, ne giywak niya, “Yaye ngʼat Nyasaye, tho ni e agulu kendo ne ok ginyal chame!”
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.
Elisha nowacho niya, “Keluru mogo matin.” Kendo kane okiro mogono e agulu nowacho niya, “Koro tokeuru ne ji mondo ochame.” Bangʼ mano koro ne onge gima kech ei agulu.
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.
Ngʼato nobiro koa Baal-Shalisha, mokelo ne ngʼat Nyasaye makati piero ariyo mag shairi mane otedi gi cham mokwongo oka, kaachiel gi kothe mokwongo. Elisha nowacho niya, “Migi ji mondo ochamgi.”
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.’”
Jatichne nopenjo niya, “Ere kaka daket chiemo matin-gi ne ji mia achiel?” Elisha nomedo mana wachone niya, “Mi ji chiemo mondo ocham. Nimar Jehova Nyasaye wacho kama: ‘Gibiro chiemo kendo chiemo moko biro dongʼ.’”
44 So he served the bread to them. They ate, and had some left over, just as the Lord had said.
Eka ne omiyogi chiemogo, negichamo ma giweyo moko kodongʼ kaluwore gi wach Jehova Nyasaye.
