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.”
Eliṣa wí pé, “Gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ Olúwa. Èyí ni ohun tí Olúwa sọ, ‘Ní àsìkò yìí ní ọ̀la, a ó ta òsùwọ̀n ìyẹ̀fun barle kíkúnná kan ní ṣékélì kan àti méjì òsùwọ̀n ọkà barle fún ṣékélì kan ní ẹnu-bodè Samaria.’”
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.”
Ìjòyè kan ẹni tí ọwọ́ ọba ń fi ara tì dáhùn wí fún ènìyàn Ọlọ́run pé, “Ẹ wò ó, tí Olúwa bá tilẹ̀ ṣí fèrèsé ọ̀run sílẹ̀, ṣé èyí lè rí bẹ́ẹ̀?” Eliṣa dáhùn pé, “Ìwọ yóò rí i pẹ̀lú ojú rẹ, ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ kò ní jẹ nǹkan kan lára rẹ̀!”
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?
Nísinsin yìí àwọn ọkùnrin mẹ́rin kan wà pẹ̀lú ẹ̀tẹ̀ ní ẹnu àbáwọlé ibodè ìlú. Wọ́n wí fún olúkúlùkù pé, “Kí ni ó dé tí àwa yóò fi jókòó síbí títí àwa yóò fi kú?
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.”
Tí àwa bá wí pé, ‘Àwa lọ sí ìlú, ìyàn wà níbẹ̀,’ àwa yóò sì kú. Tí àwa bá dúró níbí, a máa kú, ǹjẹ́ nísinsin yìí ẹ jẹ́ kí a lọ sí ibùdó ti àwọn ará Siria kí àwa kí ó sì tẹríba. Bí wọ́n bá dá wa sí, àwa yóò yè, tí wọ́n bá sì pa wá, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni àwa yóò kú.”
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!
Ní àfẹ̀mọ́júmọ́ wọ́n dìde wọ́n sì lọ sí ibùdó àwọn ará Siria. Nígbà tí wọ́n dé ẹ̀gbẹ́ ibùdó náà, kò sí ọkùnrin kan níbẹ̀,
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.”
nítorí tí Olúwa jẹ́ kí àwọn ará Siria gbọ́ ìró kẹ̀kẹ́ àti ẹṣin àti ogun ńlá, wọ́n sì wí fún ara wọn pé, “Ẹ wò ó, ọba Israẹli ti bẹ ogun àwọn Hiti àti àwọn ọba Ejibiti láti dojúkọ wá!”
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.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n sì dìde wọ́n sì sálọ ní àfẹ̀mọ́júmọ́ wọ́n sì fi àgọ́ wọn sílẹ̀ àti ẹṣin wọn àti kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́. Wọ́n sì fi ibùdó sílẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó ti wà, wọ́n sì sálọ fún ẹ̀mí wọn.
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.
Nígbà tí àwọn ọkùnrin tí ó ní ààrùn ẹ̀tẹ̀ dé ẹ̀gbẹ́ ibùdó wọ́n sì wọ inú ọ̀kan nínú àgọ́ náà. Wọ́n jẹ wọ́n sì mu, wọ́n sì kó fàdákà, wúrà àti ẹ̀wù, wọ́n sì lọ. Wọ́n sì wọ àgọ́ mìíràn lọ, wọ́n kó àwọn nǹkan láti ibẹ̀ wọ́n sì kó wọn pamọ́ pẹ̀lú.
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.”
Nígbà náà wọ́n wí fún ara wọn pé, “Àwa kò ṣe ohun rere. Òní yìí jẹ́ ọjọ́ ìròyìn rere àwa sì pa á mọ́ ara wa. Tí àwa bá dúró títí di àfẹ̀mọ́júmọ́, ìjìyà yóò jẹ́ ti wa. Ẹ jẹ́ kí a lọ ní ẹ̀ẹ̀kan kí a lọ ròyìn èyí fún àwọn ilé ọba.”
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.”
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n sì lọ wọ́n sì pe àwọn asọ́bodè ìlú, wọ́n sì wí fún wọn pé, “Àwa lọ sí ibùdó àwọn ará Siria kò sì sí ọkùnrin kankan níbẹ̀ tàbí ohùn ènìyàn kan àyàfi ẹṣin tí a so àti kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́, àwọn àgọ́ náà sì wà gẹ́gẹ́ bí wọ́n ti wà.”
11 The gatekeepers shouted out the news, and reports reached the royal palace.
Àwọn aṣọ́bodè náà pariwo ìròyìn náà, wọ́n sì sọ nínú ààfin ọba.
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.’”
Ọba sì dìde ní òru ó sì wí fún àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ pé, “Èmi yóò sọ fún yín ohun tí àwọn ará Siria tí ṣe fún wa. Wọ́n mọ̀ wí pé ebi ń pa wá; bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n sì ti kúrò ni ibùdó láti sá pamọ́ sí ẹ̀gbẹ́ ilé, wọ́n rò wí pé, ‘Wọn yóò jáde lóòtítọ́, nígbà náà àwa yóò mú wọn ní ààyè, àwa yóò sì wọ inú ìlú lọ.’”
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.”
Ọ̀kan lára àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ dáhùn pé, “Èmí o bẹ̀ ọ́, jẹ́ kí àwa kí ó mú márùn-ún nínú àwọn ẹṣin tí ó kù, nínú àwọn tí ó kù ní ìlú—kíyèsí i, wọ́n sá dàbí gbogbo àwọn ọ̀pọ̀lọpọ̀ Israẹli tí ó kù nínú rẹ̀, kíyèsí i, àní bí gbogbo ènìyàn Israẹli tí a run, sí jẹ́ kí a rán wọn lọ láti lọ wo ohun tí ó ṣẹlẹ̀.”
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.”
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni wọ́n yan kẹ̀kẹ́ méjì pẹ̀lú ẹṣin wọn, ọba sì ránṣẹ́ tọ ogun àwọn ará Siria lẹ́yìn ó pàṣẹ fún àwọn awakọ̀ pé, “Ẹ lọ kí ẹ lọ wo ohun tí ó ṣẹlẹ̀.”
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.
Wọ́n sì tẹ̀lé wọn títí dé Jordani, wọ́n sì rí gbogbo ọ̀nà kún fún agbádá pẹ̀lú ohun èlò tí ará àwọn Siria gbé sọnù ní yàrá wọn. Ìránṣẹ́ náà padà ó sì wá sọ fún ọba.
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.
Nígbà náà àwọn ènìyàn jáde lọ ìkógun ní ibùdó àwọn ará Siria. Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni òsùwọ̀n ìyẹ̀fun kan ni wọ́n tà fún ṣékélì kan, àti òsùwọ̀n barle méjì ní ṣékélì kan, gẹ́gẹ́ bí Olúwa ti sọ.
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.
Nísinsin yìí ọba sì mú ìjòyè náà lórí ẹni tí ó fi ọwọ́ ara rẹ̀ tì ní ìkáwọ́ ẹnu ibodè, àwọn ènìyàn sì tẹ̀ ẹ́ mọ́lẹ̀ ní ẹnu ibodè. Ó sì kú, gẹ́gẹ́ bí ènìyàn Ọlọ́run ti sọtẹ́lẹ̀ nígbà tí ọba sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ sí ilé rẹ̀.
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.”
Ó sì ti ṣẹlẹ̀ gẹ́gẹ́ bí ènìyàn Ọlọ́run ti sọ fún ọba: “Ní àsìkò yìí ní ọ̀la, òsùwọ̀n ìyẹ̀fun ni a ó ta nì ṣékélì kan àti òsùwọ̀n méjì barle ní ṣékélì kan ní ẹnu-ọ̀nà ibodè Samaria.”
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.”
Ìjòyè náà ti wí fún ènìyàn Ọlọ́run pé, “Wò ó, kódà ti Olúwa bá ṣí fèrèsé ní ọ̀run, ṣé èyí lè ṣẹlẹ̀?” Ènìyàn Ọlọ́run sì ti dáhùn pé, “Kìkì ojú rẹ ni ìwọ yóò fi rí i, ṣùgbọ́n ìwọ kò ní jẹ ọ̀kankan lára rẹ̀.”
20 This is what happened to him. The people trampled him in the gateway and he died.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ó sì rí fún un gẹ́lẹ́, nítorí tí àwọn ènìyàn tẹ̀ ẹ́ mọ́lẹ̀ ní ẹnu ibodè, ó sì kú.
