2 Kings 6
1 And the children of the Prophets saide vnto Elisha, Behold, we pray thee, the place where we dwell with thee, is too litle for vs.
Ụmụ ndị amụma gwara Ịlaisha okwu sị, “Lee, ebe a anyị bi nʼihu gị dị oke nta karịa.
2 Let vs nowe goe to Iorden, that we may take thence euery man a beame, and make vs a place to dwell in. And he answered, Goe.
Ya mere, ka anyị gaa nʼakụkụ Jọdan gbute osisi anyị ga-eji wuo ụlọ ebe anyị ga-ebi.” Ọ sịrị ha, “Meenụ ka unu kwuru.”
3 And one said, Vouchsafe, I pray thee, to go with thy seruants, and he answered, I will goe.
Ma otu onye nʼime ha rịọrọ ya sị, “Biko, nna anyị ukwu, soronụ anyị.” O kwenyere na ọ ga-eso ha.
4 So he went with them, and when they came to Iorden, they cut downe wood.
O sonyekwara ha. Mgbe ha bịaruru nʼakụkụ Jọdan, ha malitere igbutu osisi.
5 And as one was felling of a tree, the yron fell into the water: then he cryed, and said, Alas master, it was but borowed.
Ma mgbe otu nʼime ha nọ na-egbutu otu osisi, anyụike ya dabara nʼime mmiri. O tiri mkpu sị, “Ewoo, onyenwe m. Ọ bụkwanụ ihe a rịọtara arịọta.”
6 And the man of God saide, Where fell it? And he shewed him the place. Then he cut downe a piece of wood, and cast in thither, and he caused the yron to swimme.
Mgbe ahụ, onye nke Chineke jụrụ ya sị, “Ebee ka ọ dabara?” Mgbe o ziri ya ebe ọ dabara, Ịlaisha gbutere osisi tụba ya nʼebe ahụ, mee ka anyụike ahụ segolite na-erugharị nʼelu mmiri.
7 Then he saide, Take it vp to thee. And he stretched out his hand, and tooke it.
Ọ sịrị, “Tụtụlite ya.” O setịrị aka ya wepụta ya.
8 Then the King of Aram warred against Israel, and tooke counsell with his seruants, and said, In such and such a place shalbe my campe.
Nʼoge a, eze ndị Aram na ndị Izrel nọ nʼagha. Mgbe ya na ndịisi agha ya kparịtachara, ọ sịrị, “Aga m eguzobe ọmụma ụlọ ikwu m nʼebe dị otu a na nʼebe dị otu a.”
9 Therefore the man of God sent vnto the King of Israel, saying, Beware thou goe not ouer to such a place: for there the Aramites are come downe.
Ngwangwa, onye nke Chineke zigaara eze Izrel ozi sị, “Lezie anya, unu ejekwala nso nʼebe ahụ, nʼihi na eze Aram na ndị agha ya nọ nʼebe ahụ.”
10 So the King of Israel sent to the place which the man of God tolde him, and warned him of, and saued himselfe from thence, not once, nor twise.
Nʼihi nke a, eze Izrel mere nchọpụta banyere ebe ahụ onye nke Chineke gwara ya. Ọtụtụ mgbe Ịlaisha dọrọ eze aka na ntị, nʼihi ya, ha nọrọ na nche nʼebe ahụ niile.
11 And the heart of the King of Aram was troubled for this thing: therefore he called his seruants and saide vnto them, Will ye not shewe me, which of vs bewrayeth our counsel to the king of Israel?
Ihe ndị a mere ka iwe wee eze ndị Aram. Ọ kpọkọtara ndịisi ọrụ ya nye ha iwu sị, “Gwanụ m, onye nʼime anyị dịnyere eze Izrel?”
12 Then one of his seruants saide, None, my lorde, O King, but Elisha the Prophet that is in Israel, telleth the King of Israel, euen the wordes that thou speakest in thy priuie chamber.
Otu onye nʼime ndị ọchịagha ya sịrị, “O nweghị onye ọbụla nʼime anyị, onyenwe m bụ eze. Ọ bụ Ịlaisha, onye amụma Izrel, bụ onye na-agwa eze Izrel okwu niile i na-ekwu nʼime ebe ndina gị.”
13 And he said, Goe, and espie where he is, that I may sende and fetch him. And one tolde him, saying, Beholde, he is in Dothan.
Ya mere, eze Aram nyere ha iwu sị ha, “Gaanụ, chọpụta ebe ọ nọ, ka m ziga ndị agha ga-aga jide ya.” Ha gara lọta, kọọrọ ya na Ịlaisha nọ na Dọtan.
14 So he sent thither horses, and charets, and a mightie hoste: and they came by night, and compassed the citie.
Nʼihi ya, nʼotu anyasị eze Aram zigara ọtụtụ ndị agha ya, ndị ji ịnyịnya na ụgbọ agha gbaa obodo ahụ gburugburu.
15 And when the seruant of the man of God arose earely to goe out, beholde, an hoste compassed the citie with horses and charets. Then his seruant sayde vnto him, Alas master, howe shall we doe?
Mgbe onye na-ejere onye nke Chineke ozi biliri ọtọ nʼisi ụtụtụ pụọ, ọ hụrụ ọtụtụ ndị agha na ịnyịnya na ụgbọala, ka ha gbara obodo ha nọ gburugburu. O tiri mkpu sị, “Ewoo, onyenwe m, gịnị ka anyị ga-eme ugbu a?”
16 And he answered, Feare not: for they that be with vs, are moe then they that be with them.
Ma Ịlaisha zara sị ya, “Atụla egwu, nʼihi na ndị nọnyere anyị dị ọtụtụ karịa ndị nọnyeere ha.”
17 Then Elisha prayed, and saide, Lord, I beseech thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the Lord opened the eyes of the seruant, and he looked, and beholde, the mountaine was full of horses and charets of fyre round about Elisha.
Mgbe ahụ, Ịlaisha kpere ekpere sị, “Onyenwe anyị, biko, saghee anya ya abụọ ka ọ hụ.” Onyenwe anyị meghere anya ohu Ịlaisha, mee ka ọ hụ ịnyịnya ọkụ, na ụgbọala ọkụ jupụtara nʼugwu dị gburugburu ebe ahụ niile.
18 So they came downe to him, but Elisha prayed vnto the Lord, and said, Smite this people, I pray thee, with blindnesse. And he smote them with blindnes, according to the worde of Elisha.
Mgbe ndị iro ahụ na-abịaru ya nso, Ịlaisha kpọkuru Onyenwe anyị nʼekpere sị, “Mee ka ìsì kpuo ndị agha niile.” O mekwara ka ìsì kpuo ha, dịka Ịlaisha rịọọrọ.
19 And Elisha said vnto them, This is not the way, neither is this the citie: follow me, and I will leade you to the man whome ye seeke. But he ledde them to Samaria.
Ịlaisha pụtara sị ha, “Nke a abụghị ụzọ, nke a abụkwaghị obodo unu na-achọ. Soronụ m, ka m gosi unu nwoke unu na-achọ.” O duuru ha jee Sameria.
20 And when they were come to Samaria, Elisha saide, Lord, open their eyes that they may see. And the Lord opened their eyes, and they saw, and beholde, they were in the mids of Samaria.
Mgbe ha bịaruru Sameria, Ịlaisha kpere ekpere sị, “Biko, Onyenwe anyị, ugbu a meghee anya ha, ka ha hụ ụzọ.” Onyenwe anyị meghere anya ha dịka Ịlaisha kpere nʼekpere; ha matakwara na ha nọ na Sameria.
21 And the King of Israel sayde vnto Elisha when he sawe them, My father, shall I smite them, shall I smite them?
Mgbe eze Izrel hụrụ ha, ọ jụrụ Ịlaisha ajụjụ sị, “Nna m, ị chọrọ ka m gbuo ha?”
22 And he answered, Thou shalt not smite them: doest thou not smite them that thou hast taken with thy sworde, and with thy bowe? but set bread and water before them, that they may eate and drinke and goe to their master.
Ịlaisha zara sị ya, “Egbula ha. Ị ga-egbu ndị i ji mma agha na ụta gị dọta nʼagha? Nye ha nri na mmiri, zilaga ha ka ha lakwuru onyenwe ha.”
23 And he made great preparation for them: and when they had eaten and drunken, he sent them away: and they went to their master. So ye bands of Aram came no more into the land of Israel.
Ya mere, ọ kwadooro ha oke oriri dị ukwuu, mgbe ha riri, ṅụkwaa, o zilagara ha, ha lakwuuru nna ha ukwu. Site nʼoge ahụ gaa nʼihu, ndị otu Aram na-apụnara mmadụ ihe kwusịrị inye nsogbu nʼoke ala ndị Izrel.
24 But afterward Ben-hadad King of Aram gathered all his hoste, and went vp, and besieged Samaria.
Ma mgbe ụfọdụ oge gasịrị, Ben-Hadad, eze Aram, chịkọtara ndị agha ya niile pụta bịa gbaa Sameria gburugburu.
25 So there was a great famine in Samaria: for loe, they besieged it vntill an asses head was at foure score pieces of siluer, and the fourth part of a kab of doues doung at fiue pieces of siluer.
Nʼihi nke a, oke ụnwụ dara nʼobodo Sameria. Nri kọrọ nʼala ahụ ruo na e bidoro ire otu isi ịnyịnya ibu iri shekel ọlaọcha asatọ. E rekwara nsị nduru shekel ise.
26 And as the King of Israel was going vpon the wall, there cryed a woman vnto him, saying, Helpe, my lord, O King.
Mgbe eze Izrel na-agafe nʼelu mgbidi gbara obodo ahụ gburugburu, otu nwanyị kpọkuru ya sị ya, “Nyere m aka, onyenwe m eze.”
27 And he said, Seeing the Lord doeth not succour thee, howe shoulde I helpe thee with the barne, or with the wine presse?
Ma eze zara sị ya, “Ọ bụrụ na Onyenwe anyị ekweghị inyere gị aka, ebee ka m ga-esi nwetara gị inyeaka? Ọ bụ site nʼebe ịzọcha ọka? Ka ọ bụ nʼebe ịzọcha mmanya vaịnị?”
28 Also the King said vnto her, What ayleth thee? And she answered, This woman sayde vnto me, Giue thy sonne, that we may eate him to day, and we will eate my sonne to morowe,
Mgbe ahụ, eze jụrụ ya sị, “Gịnị na-eme?” Ọ zara, “Nwanyị a sịrị, ‘Nye nwa gị nwoke ka anyị rie ya taa, echi anyị ga-eri nwa m nwoke.’
29 So we sod my sonne, and did eate him: and I saide to her the day after, Giue thy sonne, that we may eate him, but she hath hid her sonne.
Ya mere, na anyị siri nwa m rie ya. Nʼụbọchị nke so ya asịrị m ya, ‘Wepụta nwa gị nwoke ka anyị rie ya,’ ma o zoola ya.”
30 And when the King had heard the wordes of the woman, he rent his clothes, (and as he went vpon the wall, the people looked, and behold, he had sackecloth within vpon his flesh)
Mgbe eze nụrụ okwu nwanyị a, ọ dọwara uwe ya. Ma dịka ọ na-agabiga nʼelu mgbidi ahụ, ndị mmadụ lere anya hụ nʼokpuru uwe, akwa mkpe dị nʼime ahụ ya.
31 And he saide, God doe so to me and more also, if the head of Elisha the sonne of Shaphat shall stande on him this day.
Ọ sịrị, “Ka Chineke mesoo m mmeso, otu ọbụla mmeso ahụ si dị njọ, ma ọ bụrụ na isi Ịlaisha nwa Shafat anọgide nʼahụ ya taa.”
32 (Nowe Elisha sate in his house, and the Elders sate with him.) And the King sent a man before him: but before the messenger came to him, he saide to the Elders, See ye not howe this murtherers sonne hath sent to take away mine head? take heede when the messenger commeth, and shut the doore and handle him roughly at the doore: is not the sounde of his masters feete behinde him?
Nʼoge a, Ịlaisha nọdụrụ ala nʼụlọ ya, ndị okenye sokwa ya nọdụ. Eze zipụrụ onyeozi, ma tupu o rute, Ịlaisha gwara ndị okenye ahụ okwu sị ha, “Unu ahụla na ogbu mmadụ a ezitela mmadụ ka ọ bịa gbupụ m isi. Mgbe onyeozi ya bịaruru, mechienụ ụzọ hapụ ya nʼezi, nʼihi na eze nʼonwe ya ga-eso ya nʼazụ bịa.”
33 While he yet talked with them, beholde, the messenger came downe vnto him, and saide, Behold, this euill commeth of the Lord: should I attende on the Lord any longer?
Mgbe Ịlaisha nọ na-agwa ha okwu, lee onyeozi ahụ ka ọ na-abịakwute ya. Eze sokwa ya nʼazụ na-ekwu okwu na-asị, “Onyenwe anyị emeela ka ihe ọjọọ dị otu a dakwasị anyị. Gịnị mere m ga-eji lee anya inyeaka site nʼaka Onyenwe anyị ọzọ?”
