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!”
अगमवक्ताका छोराहरूमध्ये एउटाकी पत्नी एलीशाकहाँ रुँदै आएर यसो भनिन्, “मेरा पति तपाईंका दास मर्नुभयो, र तपाईंका दास परमप्रभुदेखि डराउनुहुन्थ्यो भनी तपाईंलाई थाहा छ । अब मेरा दुई छोरालाई कमारा बनाउन लैजानलाई ऋणदाता आएका छन् ।”
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.
त्यसैले एलीशाले तिनलाई भने, “तिम्रो निम्ति म के गरौं? घरमा तिमीसँग के छ मलाई भन ।” तिनले भनिन्, “तपाईंका दासीको घरमा एउटा भाँडोमा तेलबाहेक केही छैन ।”
3 “Go and borrow empty jars from your neighbors—as many as possible, not just a few,” Elisha told her.
तब एलीशाले भने, “तिम्रा छिमेकीहरूबाट रित्ता भाँडाहरू पैँचो माग्न जाऊ । सकेजति धेरै पैँचो माग ।
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.”
त्यसपछि तिमी भित्र जाऊ र तिम्रा छोराहरूलाई पनि भित्र राखेर ढोका बन्द गर, अनि ती सबै भाँडामा तेल खन्याऊ । भरिएका भाँडाहरू एकापट्टि राख ।”
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.
त्यसैले तिनी एलीशाबाट विदा भइन्, र तिनले आफ्ना छोराहरूलाई पनि भित्र राखेर ढोका बन्द गरिन् । तिनीहरूले तिनीकहाँ भाँडाहरू ल्याए, र तिनले ती तेलले भरिन् ।
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.
जब ती भाँडाहरू भरिए तब तिनले आफ्नो छोरोलाई भनिन्, “अर्को भाँडा मकहाँ ल्याऊ ।” तर उसले तिनलाई भन्यो, “अब एउटै भाँडा पनि छैन।” त्यसपछि तेल आउन पनि छाड्यो ।
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.”
तब तिनी आइन् र परमेश्वरका मानिसलाई त्यो कुरो बताइन् । तिनले भने, “गएर तेल बेच । तिम्रो ऋण तिर, र आफ्ना छोराहरूसित आरामसित बस ।”
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.
एक दिन एलीशा शूनेममा गए जहाँ एक जना प्रतिष्ठित स्त्री बस्थिन् । उनले तिनलाई तिनीसँगै खाना खान अनुरोध गरिन् । त्यसैले जब एलीशा त्यो बाटो भएर जान्थे, तब तिनी खानको लागि त्यहाँ रोकिन्थे ।
9 She told her husband, “I'm sure that this man who regularly visits us is a holy man of God.
ती स्त्रीले आफ्ना पतिलाई भनिन्, “हेर्नुहोस्, अब मलाई थाहा भयो, कि यिनी परमेश्वरका पवित्र मानिस हुन् जो सधैँ यो बाटो हिंड्छन् ।
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.”
कौसीमा एलीशाको लागि एउटा सानो कोठा बनाऔँ, र त्यसमा एउटा खाट, टेबल, आसन र बत्ती राखौँ । तब तिनी हामीकहाँ आउँदा तिनी त्यहीँ बस्नेछन् ।”
11 One day Elisha arrived and went up to his room and lay down.
यसरी फेरि एक दिन आयो जतिबेला एलीशा त्यहाँ रोकिए, तिनी त्यो कोठामा बसे, र त्यहीँ विश्राम गरे ।
12 He said to his servant Gehazi, “Ask the Shunammite woman to come here.” Gehazi called her and she came to see Elisha.
एलीशाले आफ्नो सेवक गेहजीलाई भने, “ती शूनम्मीलाई बोला ।” त्यसले तिनलाई बोलाएपछि तिनी एलीशाको सामु खडा भइन् ।
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.
एलीशाले उसलाई भने, “तिनलाई भन्, 'हाम्रो वास्ता गर्न तिमीले यो सबै कष्ट झेलेकी छ्यौ । तिम्रो लागि के गर्न सकिन्छ? के हामी तिम्रो लागि राजा वा सेनापतिसित कुरा गरौं'?” तिनले जवाफ दिइन्, “मेरा आफ्नै जातिको बिचमा म बस्दैछु ।”
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.
त्यसैले एलीशाले भने, “त्यसो हो भने, तिनको लागि हामी के गर्न सक्छौँ त?” गेहजीले जवाफ दियो, “वास्तवमा तिनीसँग छोरो छैन, र तिनका पति बुढो भएका छन् ।”
15 Elisha said, “Ask her to come back.” So Gehazi called her, and she came stood by the door.
त्यसैले एलीशाले भने, “तिनलाई बोला ।” जब त्यसले तिनलाई बोलायो, तिनी ढोकामा खडा भइन् ।
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!”
एलीशाले भने, “एक वर्षपछि यही समयमा तिम्रो काखमा एउटा छोरो हुनेछ ।” तिनले जवाफ दिइन्, “होइन, हे मेरा मालिक र परमेश्वरका मानिस, आफ्नी दासीसित झुट नबोल्नुहोस् ।”
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.
तर एलीशाले त्यो स्त्रीलाई भनेझैँ तिनी गर्भवती भइन् र अर्को वर्ष ठिक त्यही समयमा एउटा छोरो जन्माइन् ।
18 The child grew up, but one day he when went out to see his father who was with the reapers,
बालक हुर्केपछि एक दिन त्यो आफ्नो बुबाकहाँ गयो जो कटनी गर्नेहरूसँगै थिए ।
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.”
त्यसले आफ्नो बुबालाई भन्यो, “मेरो टाउको दुख्यो । मेरो टाउको दुख्यो । उसका बुबाले आफ्नो सेवकलाई भने, “त्यसलाई त्यसकी आमाकहाँ लिएर जाऊ ।”
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.
जब नोकरले केटोलाई उठाएर त्यसकी आमाकहाँ ल्यायो तब केटो मध्यान्हसम्म आमाको काखमा बस्यो, र त्यो मर्यो ।
21 She went upstairs and laid him on the bed of the man of God. Then she shut the door behind her and left.
त्यसैले ती स्त्री उठिन्, र केटोलाई परमेश्वरका मानिसको ओछ्यानमा सुताइन्, ढोका बन्द गरेर बाहिर निस्किन् ।
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.”
तिनले आफ्ना पतिलाई बोलाइन् र भनिन्, “कृपया, मलाई एक जना नोकर र एउटा गधा पठाउनुहोस् ताकि म छिटो परमेश्वरका मानिसकहाँ जान र फर्केर आउन सकूँ ।”
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.
तिनका पतिले भने, “किन तिमी आजै उहाँकहाँ जान चाहन्छ्यौ? आज न औँसी हो, न त शबाथ हो ।” उनले जवाफ दिइन्, “यो ठिक हुनेछ ।”
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!”
त्यसपछि उनले गधामा काठी कसिन्, र आफ्नो सेवकलाई भनिन्, “छिटो कुदा । मैले नभनेसम्म दौडन ढिला नगर ।”
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!
त्यसैले तिनी गइन् र कर्मेल डाँडामा परमेश्वरका मानिस भएको ठाउँमा आइन् । जब परमेश्वरका मानिसले टाढैबाट तिनलाई देखे तिनले आफ्नो सेवक गेहजीलाई भने, “हेर्, शूनम्मी स्त्री आउँदैछिन् ।
26 Please run to meet her and ask her, ‘Is everything fine with you, your husband, and your boy?’” “Everything's fine,” she replied.
तिनलाई भेट्न दौडेर जा र तिनलाई सोध, 'तिमी, तिम्रा पति र छोरोलाई सबै ठिकै छ'?” तिनले भनिन्, “ठिकै छ ।”
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.”
जब तिनी डाँडामा परमेश्वरका मानिस भएको ठाउँमा आइपुगिन् तब तिनले एलीशाको पाउ समातिन् । गेहजी तिनलाई हटाउनलाई अगाडि बढ्यो, तर परमेश्वरका मानिसले भने, “तिनलाई नछोऊ किनकि तिनी अत्यन्तै दुखी छिन्, र परमप्रभुले मबाट समस्या लुकाउनुभएको छ, र मलाई केही भन्नुभएको छैन ।”
28 “Did I ask you for a son, my lord?” she asked. “Didn't I tell you, ‘Don't tell me lies’?”
तब तिनले भनिन्, “हे मेरा मालिक, मैले, तपाईंसँग छोरो मागेकी थिएँ र? मैले 'मलाई नछकाउनुहोस्' भनेकी थिइनँ र'?”
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.”
तब एलीशाले गेहजीलाई भने, “यात्राको लागि लुगा लगा, र तेरो हातमा मेरो लट्ठी समात् । तिनको घरमा जा । कुनै मानिसलाई भेटिस् भने अभिवादन नगर्, र कसैले तँलाई अभिवादन गर्यो भने जवाफ नदे । बालकको अनुहारमा मेरो लट्ठी राखिदे ।”
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.
तर बालककी आमाले भनिन्, “परमप्रभु र तपाईंको नाउँमा शपथ खाएर म भन्छु, कि म तपाईंलाई छाड्दिनँ ।” त्यसैले एलीशा उठे, र तिनको पछि लागे ।
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.”
गेहजी तिनीहरूभन्दा अगिअगि गयो र बाललको अनुहारमा लट्ठी पसार्यो, तर बालकले बोलेन र सुनेन । त्यसैले गेहजी एलीशालाई भेट्न फर्क्यो र तिनलाई यसो भन्यो, “बालक ब्युँझेको छैन ।”
32 When Elisha got to the house, there was the boy, lying dead on his bed.
जब एलीशा घरमा आइपुगे, तब बालक मरिसकेको थियो, र ओछ्यानमा शान्त थियो ।
33 He went in, shut the door behind them both, and prayed to the Lord.
त्यसैले एलीशा भित्र गएर बालक र आफूलाई राखेर ढोका बन्द गरे, र परमप्रभुलाई प्रार्थना चढाए ।
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.
तिनी ओछ्यानमाथि चढे र बालकमाथि सुते । तिनले आफ्नो मुख उसको मुखमा, आफ्ना आँखा उसको आँखामा, र आफ्ना हात उसको हातमा राखे । तिनले आफैलाई बालकमाथि लमतन्न पारे, र बालकको शरीर न्यानो भयो ।
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.
तब एलीशा उठे, र कोठाको वरिपरि घुमे अनि तिनी फेरि ओछ्यानमा चढे र बालकमाथि लमतन्न परे । बालकले सात पटक छिउँ काड्यो र आफ्ना आँखा खोल्यो ।
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.”
त्यसैले एलीशाले गेहजीलाई बोलाए र भने, “शूनम्मीलाई बोला ।” त्यसले उनलाई बोलायो, र जब तिनी कोठाभित्र आइन्, तब एलीशाले भने, “तिम्रो छोरोलाई बोक ।”
37 She came in, fell at his feet, and bowed to the ground. Then she picked up her son and left.
तब एलीशाको पाउमा तिनी भुइँसम्मै घोप्टो परिन्, अनि आफ्नो छोरोलाई उठाइन् र बाहिर गइन् ।
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.”
तब एलीशा फेरि गिलगालमा आए । देशमा अनिकाल परेको थियो अनि अगमवक्ताहरूका छोराहरू तिनका सामु बसिरहेका थिए । तिनले आफ्नो सेवकलाई भने, “आगोमा ठुलो भाँडो बसाल र यी अगमवक्ताहरूका छोराहरूका निम्ति जाउलो पका ।”
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.
तिनीहरूमध्ये एक जना तरकारी खोज्न बारीमा गयो । त्यसले जङ्गली दाख भेट्टायो, र त्यसले जङ्गली लौका आफ्नो पोल्टाभरि जम्मा गर्यो । तिनीहरूले ती काटे र जाउलोमा हाले, तर ती कस्ता किसिमका थिए भनी तिनीहरूलाई थाहा थिएन ।
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.
मानिसहरूले खानलाई तिनीहरूले जाउलो खन्याए । पछि तिनीहरूले खाँदै गर्दा तिनीहरू चिच्च्याए र भने, “हे परमेश्वरका मानिस, भाँडामा त मृत्यु पो छ ।” त्यसैले तिनीहरूले त्यो फेरि खान सकेनन् ।
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.
तर एलीशाले भने, “केही पिठो ल्याऊ ।” तिनले त्यसलाई भाँडोभित्र हाले र भने, “मानिसहरूलाई यो खान देऊ ताकि तिनीहरूले त्यो खानसकून् ।” तब त्यस भाँडोमा त्यस्तो हानिकारक कुनै कुरो बाँकी रहेन ।
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.
बाल-शलीशाको कोही एक जना मानिस परमेश्वरकका मानिसकहाँ आयो, र त्यसले अगौटे फलबाट तयार गरिएको जौँका बिसवटा रोटी र केही अन्नका ताजा बाला आफ्नो बोरामा लिएर आयो । त्यसले भन्यो, “यो मानिसहरूलाई दिनुहोस् ताकि तिनीहरूले खान सकून् ।”
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.’”
तिनको सेवकले भन्यो, “एक सय जना मानिसलाई मैले यसबाट कसरी भाग पुर्याउन सक्छु र?” तर एलीशाले भने, “यो मानिसहरूलाई ताकि तिनीहरूलेखान सकून्, किनकि परमप्रभु भन्नुहुन्छ, 'तिनीहरूले खानेछन्, र केही बच्नेछ' ।”
44 So he served the bread to them. They ate, and had some left over, just as the Lord had said.
त्यसैले तिनको सेवकले त्यो तिनीहरूका सामु राखिदियो र तिनीहरूले खाए अनि परमप्रभुको वचनले प्रतिज्ञा गरेझैँ केही बच्यो ।
