2 Kings 7
1 Then Elisha saide, Heare ye the worde of the Lord: thus saith the Lord, To morowe this time a measure of fine floure shalbe solde for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel in the gate of Samaria.
Ndipo Elisa anati, “Mverani mawu a Yehova. Yehova akuti, ‘Mawa nthawi ngati yomwe ino, makilogalamu atatu a ufa adzawagulitsa pa mtengo wa ndalama imodzi yasiliva, ndipo makilogalamu asanu ndi limodzi a barele adzawagulitsa pa mtengo wa ndalama imodzi yasiliva ku chipata cha Samariya.’”
2 Then a prince, on whose hande the King leaned, answered the man of God, and saide, Though the Lord would make windowes in the heauen, could this thing come to passe? And he said, Beholde, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but thou shalt not eate thereof.
Mtsogoleri amene mfumu inkamudalira anati kwa munthu wa Mulungu, “Taona, ngakhale Yehova atatsekula zipata zakumwamba, kodi zimenezi zingachitikedi?” Elisa anamuyankha kuti, “Taona, iweyo udzaziona zimenezi ndi maso ako, koma sudzadyako kanthu.”
3 Nowe there were foure leprous men at the entring in of the gate: and they saide one to an other, Why sitte we here vntill we die?
Tsono pa chipata cholowera mu mzinda wa Samariya pankakhala anthu anayi akhate. Iwo anayankhulana kuti, “Chifukwa chiyani tikungokhala pano kudikira kufa?
4 If we say, We will enter into the citie, the famine is in the citie, and we shall die there: and if we sit here, we dye also. Nowe therefore come, and let vs fall into the campe of the Aramites: if they saue our liues, we shall liue: and if they kill vs, we are but dead.
Ngati tinganene kuti, ‘Tidzalowa mu mzinda,’ njala ili mu mzindamo ndipo tidzafa. Ndipo ngati tikhalebe pano, tidzafa ndithu. Choncho tiyeni tipite ku msasa wa Aaramu ndi kukadzipereka. Ngati sakatipha, tidzakhala ndi moyo, ngati akatipha, basi tikafa.”
5 So they rose vp in the twilight, to goe to the campe of the Aramites: and when they were come to the vtmost part of the campe of the Aramites, loe, there was no man there.
Iwo ananyamuka ndi kachisisira kupita ku msasa wa Aaramu. Atafika mʼmalire a msasa, taonani, sanapeze munthu ndi mmodzi yemwe,
6 For the Lord had caused the campe of the Aramites to heare a noyse of charets and a noise of horses, and a noise of a great armie, so that they sayde one to another, Beholde, the King of Israel hath hired against vs the Kings of the Hittites, and the Kings of the Egyptians to come vpon vs.
pakuti Ambuye anali atamveketsa phokoso la magaleta ndi akavalo ndiponso mdidi wa gulu lalikulu la ankhondo, kotero anayamba kuwuzana kuti, “Taonani, mfumu ya ku Israeli yalemba ganyu mafumu a Ahiti ndi a Aigupto kuti adzatithire nkhondo!”
7 Wherefore they arose, and fled in the twilight, and left their tentes and their horses, and their asses, euen the campe as it was, and fledde for their liues.
Choncho ananyamuka nathawa ndi kachisisira ndipo anasiya matenti, akavalo ndi abulu awo. Iwo anasiya msasa wawo momwe unalili nathawa kupulumutsa miyoyo yawo.
8 And when these lepers came to the vtmost part of the campe, they entred into one tent, and did eate and drinke, and caryed thence siluer and golde, and raiment, and went and hid it: after they returned, and entred into another tent, and caryed thence also, and went and hid it.
Anthu akhate aja atafika mʼmalire mwa msasa analowa mʼtenti imodzi. Anadya ndi kumwa, natenga siliva, golide ndi zovala ndipo anachoka kupita kukazibisa. Atabwerera anakalowa mʼtenti ina ndipo anatenga zinthu mʼmenemo nakazibisanso.
9 Then saide one to another, We doe not well: this day is a day of good tidings, and we holde our peace. if we tary till day light, some mischiefe will come vpon vs. Nowe therefore, come, let vs goe, and tell the Kings housholde.
Kenaka akhate aja anawuzana kuti, “Ife sitikuchita bwino. Lero ndi tsiku la uthenga wabwino ndipo tikungokhala chete. Tikadikira mpaka kucha, tidzalangidwa. Tiyeni msanga tikafotokoze zimenezi ku nyumba yaufumu.”
10 So they came, and called vnto the porters of the citie, and tolde them, saying, We came to the campe of the Aramites, and loe, there was no man there, neither voyce of man, but horses tyed and asses tyed: and the tents are as they were.
Choncho anapita nakayitana alonda a pa chipata cha mzinda ndi kufotokoza kuti, “Ife tinapita ku msasa wa Aaramu ndipo sitinapezeko munthu, kapena phokoso la wina aliyense koma tinangopeza akavalo okha pamodzi ndi abulu ali chimangire.”
11 And the porters cryed and declared to the Kings house within.
Alonda a pa chipata aja analengeza uthengawu kwa okhala mʼnyumba yaufumu.
12 Then the King arose in the night, and saide vnto his seruants, I wil shew you now, what the Aramites haue done vnto vs. They know that we are affamished, therefore they are gone out of the campe to hide them selues in the fielde, saying, When they come out of the citie, we shall catch them aliue, and get into the citie.
Mfumu inadzuka usiku ndipo inawuza atsogoleri ake a ankhondo kuti, “Ndikukuwuzani zimene Aaramu atichitira ife. Akudziwa kuti tikufa ndi njala; kotero achoka mu msasa wawo kukabisala kuthengo ndi kuti, ‘Iwowa atuluka ndithu, ndipo ife tidzawagwira amoyo ndi kulowa mu mzindamo.’”
13 And one of his seruants answered, and said, Let me take now fiue of the horses that remaine, and are left in the citie, (behold, they are euen as all the multitude of Israel that are left therein: beholde, I say, they are as the multitude of the Israelites that are consumed) and we wil send to see.
Mmodzi mwa atsogoleri ake ankhondo anayankha kuti, “Chonde uzani anthu ena atenge akavalo asanu amene atsala mu mzinda muno. Taonani, zomwe zingawachitikire zidzakhala zofanana ndi zomwe zingachitikire ena onse amene atsala. Inde iwo adzangokhala ngati Aisraeli ena onse amene awonongeka kale. Choncho tiyeni tiwatume akafufuze zomwe zachitika.”
14 So they tooke two charets of horses, and the King sent after the hoste of the Aramites, saying, Goe and see.
Choncho anasankha magaleta awiri pamodzi ndi akavalo ake, ndipo mfumu inawatuma kuti alondole gulu lankhondo la Aaramu. Mfumuyo inalamula oyendetsa akavalowo kuti, “Pitani kaoneni.”
15 And they went after them vnto Iorden, and loe, all the way was full of clothes and vessels which the Aramites had cast from them in their hast: and the messengers returned, and told ye King.
Anthuwa anawalondola mpaka ku Yorodani, ndipo taonani, mʼnjira monse munali zovala zokhazokha ndi zinthu zimene Aaramu ankazitaya pamene ankathawa mofulumira. Ndipo amithengawo anabwerera ndi kudzafotokozera mfumu.
16 Then the people went out and spoyled the campe of the Aramites: so a measure of fine floure was at a shekel, and two measures of barley at a shekel according to the word of the Lord.
Tsono anthu a mu Samariya anatuluka nakafunkha ku msasa wa Aaramu. Kotero kuti makilogalamu atatu a ufa ankawagulitsa pa mtengo wa ndalama imodzi yasiliva, ndipo makilogalamu asanu ndi limodzi a barele ankawagulitsanso pa mtengo wa ndalama imodzi yasiliva, monga momwe ananenera Yehova.
17 And the King gaue the prince (on whose hande he leaned) the charge of the gate, and the people trode vpon him in the gate, and he dyed, as the man of God had saide, which spake it, when the King came downe to him.
Tsono mfumu inayika mtsogoleri amene ankamudalira uja kuti akhale woyangʼanira pa chipata ndipo anthu anamupondaponda ku chipata kuja, ndipo anafa, monga momwe Elisa munthu wa Mulungu ananenera mfumu itapita ku nyumba yake.
18 And it came to passe, as the man of God had spoken to the King, saying, Two measures of barley at a shekel, and a measure of fine floure shall be at a shekel, to morowe about this time in the gate of Samaria.
Zinachitika molingana ndi zomwe ananena munthu wa Mulungu zija kuti “Mawa nthawi ngati yomwe ino, makilogalamu atatu a ufa adzawagulitsa pa mtengo wa ndalama imodzi yasiliva ndipo makilogalamu asanu ndi limodzi a barele adzawagulitsa pa mtengo wa ndalama imodzi yasiliva ku chipata cha Samariya.”
19 But the prince had answered the man of God, and saide, Though the Lord would make windowes in the heauen, coulde it come so to passe? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thine eyes, but thou shalt not eate thereof.
Mtsogoleriyu ananena kwa munthu wa Mulungu kuti, “Taona, ngakhale Yehova atatsekula zipata zakumwamba, kodi zimenezi zingachitikedi?” Munthu wa Mulungu anamuyankha kuti, “Iwe udzaziona zimenezi ndi maso ako, koma sudzadyako kanthu.”
20 And so it came vnto him: for the people trode vpon him in the gate, and he dyed.
Ndipo izi ndi zomwe zinamuchitikiradi mtsogoleriyu, pakuti anthu anamupondaponda pa chipata ndipo anafa.
