< 2 Kings 7 >
1 Elisha replied, “Listen to the message from the Lord. This is what the Lord says: Around this time tomorrow a seah of the best flour will sell for a shekel, and two seahs of barley will sell for a shekel at the gate of Samaria.”
Le hoe t’i Elisà, Mijanjiña ty tsara’ Iehovà, Hoe t’Iehovà, Ie manao hoe io te maray le haletake sekele raik’ an-dalambei’ i Somerone eo ty kapoan’ ampemba mona’e, vaho sekele raike ty vare hordea kapoake roe.
2 The officer who was the king's assistant said to the man of God, “Look, even if the Lord opened windows in heaven what you say couldn't happen!” Elisha replied, “You'll see it with your own eyes, but you won't get to eat any of it.”
Tinoi’ ty mpifehe iatoam-pità’ i mpanjakay amy zao indatin’Añaharey ami’ty hoe: Inao! Ndra te nanoe’ Iehovà tsingarakarake ty andikerañe eñe, aia t’ie ho tendreke? Hoe re, Inay! ho isam-pihaino’o, fe tsy hikama’o.
3 There happened to be four men with leprosy at the entrance of the city gate. They said to each other, “Why are we sitting around here until we die?
Teo ty lahilahy angamae efatse am-pimoahan-dalambey eo; ie nifampivesoveso ty hoe, Ino ty hitobohan-tika etoa am-para’ te mate?
4 If we say, ‘Let's go into the city,’ we'll die because of the famine there; but if we go on sitting here, we'll die too. So come on, let's go to the camp of the Arameans and surrender to them. If they let us live, we'll live; if they kill us, we'll die.”
naho manao ty hoe tika: Antao hizilik’ an-drova: fe ho zoeñe ao i hasalikoañey vaho hivetrak’ ao; ie mboe mitoboke etoa, le hikenkañe ka. Antao arè, hihotrake am-balobohò’ o nte-Arameo; he apo’ iereo velon-tika le ho veloñe, ke ho vonoe’ iereo, le ho mate avao.
5 So they set off when it was getting dark and went to the camp of the Arameans. But when they arrived at the edge of the camp, nobody was there!
Aa le niongake te nangoañe, nigodañe mb’an-tobe’ o nte-Arameo; aa ie pok’ añ’ olo’ i tobey, hehe t’ie tsy ama’ ondaty.
6 For the Lord had made the Arameans hear the sound of chariots, horses, and a large army approaching, so they said to each other, “The king of Israel has hired the kings of the Hittites and Egyptians to come and attack us.”
Amy te nampijanjiñe’ i Talè feon-tsarete o nte-Arameo, naho ty feon-tsoavala vaho ty fikoraham-balobohòke, le hoe ty nifanalilia’ iereo: Inao, kinarama’ i mpanjaka’ Israeley haname an-tika o mpanjaka’ o nte-Kiteoo, naho o mpanjaka’ o nte-Mitsraimeoo.
7 So they jumped up and ran away into the night, leaving behind their tents, their horses, and their donkeys. In fact the camp was left just as it was when they ran for their lives.
Aa le niongake iereo nitriban-day te mangararak’ atiñanañe, le nadoke o kiboho’eo naho o soavala’eo naho o borìke’eo, naho nado’ iareo i tobey hoe i teoy avao vaho niherereake mb’eo handrombak’ay.
8 When the lepers got to the edge of the camp, they went into a tent and ate and drank. Then they took the silver, gold, and clothes, and hid them. After that they went back to another tent, took some things from there, and hid them.
Ie pok’ añ’olo’ i tobey i angamae rey, le nizilik’ ami’ty kibohotse ao nikama naho ninoñe, naho nakare’ iereo ty volafoty naho ty volamena naho sikiñe, le nenteñe mb’eo vaho naetake; nimoaha’ iareo ty kibohotse raike ka le nangalak’ ao naho nente’ iereo vaho naetake.
9 Then they said to each other, “It's not right what we're doing. This is a day of good news, and if we keep quiet about it and wait until it gets light, we're sure to be punished. So let's go right away and let them know at the king's palace.”
Le hoe ty fifanaontsia’ iareo, Tsy soa o anoen-tikañeo; toe andro fitalilian-tsoa androany, itika mitsiñe avao; aa naho liñisan-tika te manjirike i àndroy le hiambotraham-pandilovañe; antao arè homb’eo hitalily amo añ’anjomba’ i mpanjakaio.
10 They went and called to the gatekeepers of the city, “We went over to the Aramean camp and no one was there, not a sound of anybody! There were just horses and donkeys tied up, and the tents just as they were.”
Aa le nimb’eo iereo nitoka o mpitan-dalambeio, nitalily ty hoe; Nimb’ an-toben-te Arame añe zahay, le hehe te leo ondaty tsy ao, po-piarañanaña’ ondaty, fe soavala mirohy naho borìke mirohy, vaho napoke ey avao o kibohotseo.
11 The gatekeepers shouted out the news, and reports reached the royal palace.
Aa le nikoike o mpitan-dalañeo, nitalily añ’ anjomba’ i Mpanjakay.
12 The king got up in the night and said to his officers, “Let me tell you the trick the Arameans are trying to play on us. They know we're starving, so they have left the camp and hidden in the field, thinking, ‘When they leave the city, we'll take them alive and be able to enter the city.’”
Le nitroatse amy haleñey i mpanjakay nanao ty hoe amo mpitoro’eo, Hatoroko anahareo ty nanoa’ o nte-Arameo aman-tika. Fohi’ iareo t’ie kerè; aa le niakara’ iereo i tobey hietak’ an-kivok’ ao, nikilily ty hoe: Ie miakatse i rovay iereo, le ho tsepahen-tika veloñe vaho himoak’ amy rovay.
13 One of his officers suggested, “Have some men take five of the remaining horses in the city. What happens to them will be the same as that of all the Israelites left here, All the Israelites here are doomed. Let's send them to find out what's going on.”
Aa hoe ty natoi’ ty mpitoro’e raike: Ehe, angao hendeseñe i soavala lime honka’e an-drova atoa rey—ndra t’ie manahake ty valobohò’ Israele sisa ama’e ao; ie ho hambañe amy valobohò’ Israele fa nagodrañey—antao hañirake naho handrendreke.
14 So they got two chariots ready with their horses, and the king sent them out to the Aramean camp, telling them “Go and take a look.”
Rinambe’ iereo ty sarete roe reketse soavala; vaho nampihitrife’ i mpanjakay hañorike i valobohò’ o nte-Arameoy iereo ami’ty hoe: Akia mandrendreha.
15 They went after them as far as the Jordan, and the whole way was full of clothing and equipment the Arameans had thrown aside as they ran away. The messengers returned and reported to the king.
Aa le norihe’ iereo pak’ am’ Iordaney añe; le hehe te tsitsike sikiñe naho haraotse i lalañey, ze naria’ o nte-Arameo amy falisa’ iareoy. Aa le nimpoly o niraheñeo nitalily amy mpanjakay.
16 Then the people went out and looted the camp of the Arameans. So a seah of the best flour sold for a shekel, and two seahs of barley sold for a shekel, just as the Lord had predicted.
Niavotse mb’eo ondatio, nikopake ty tobe’ o nte-Arameo. Aa le naletake sekele raike ty kapoak’ ampemba mona’e, naho sekele raike ty kapoake vare-hordea roe, ty amy tsara’ Iehovày.
17 The king had put the officer who was his assistant in charge of the gate. In their rush the people trampled him in the gateway and he died, just as the man of God had said when the king visited him.
Tinendre’ i mpanjakay hañambeñe ty lalambey i mpifehe iatoam-pità’ey; f’ie linialia’ ondatio an-dalambey eo, le nivetrake hambañe amy nitokia’ indatin’ Añahareiy, amy saontsi’e amy fizotsoa’ i mpanjakay mb’ ama’e mb’eoy.
18 What the man of God had told the king also came true when he said, “Around this time tomorrow a seah of the best flour will sell for a shekel, and two seahs of barley will sell for a shekel at the gate of Samaria.”
Aa le nitendreke, hambañe amy sinaontsi’ indatin’Añaharey amy mpanjakaiy ty hoe: Vare-hordea kapoake roe, sekele raike, le ty kapoake bon’ ampemba: sekele raike, ty ho zoeñe an-dalambei’ i Somerone te hamaray manahake henanekeo.
19 Also the officer who was the king's assistant had said to the man of God, “Look, even if the Lord opened windows in heaven what you say couldn't happen!” Elisha had replied, “You'll see it with your own eyes, but you won't get to eat any of it.”
Tinoi’ i mpifehey ty hoe indatin’ Añaharey: Eo hey; ndra te nanoe’ Iehovà tsingaragarake ty andikerañe eñe, tsy ho nitendreke o raha zao. Le hoe ty navale’e: Inao! ho isam-pihano’o, fe tsy hikama’o.
20 This is what happened to him. The people trampled him in the gateway and he died.
Aa le izay ty nifetsak’ ama’e kanao linialia’ ondatio an-dalambey eo, vaho nihomake.
