< 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.
Elisa buae se, “Tie saa asɛm yi fi Awurade nkyɛn! Sɛnea Awurade se ni: Ebedu ɔkyena sesɛɛ, wɔbɛtɔn asikresiam a wɔayam no muhumuhu lita asia agye dwetɛ gram dubaako wɔ Samaria egua biara so. Na atoko nso, wɔbɛtɔn lita du agye dwetɛ gram du abien pɛ.”
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.
Ɔpanyin a ɔboa ɔhene no ka kyerɛɛ Onyankopɔn nipa no se, “Sɛ Awurade bue ɔsoro mfɛnsere mpo a, ɛremma saa da!” Na Elisa kae se, “Wubehu sɛ ɛbɛba mu saa, nanso worentumi nni emu biara bi.”
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?
Afei, mmarima akwatafo baanan bi bɛtenatenaa kurow no apon ano. Wobisabisaa wɔn ho wɔn ho se, “Adɛn nti na ɛsɛ sɛ yɛtena ha twɛn ara kosi sɛ yebewuwu?
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.
Sɛ yɛtena ha a, ɔkɔm bɛde yɛn dodo; saa ara na sɛ yɛsan kɔ kurow no mu nso a, ɔkɔm bɛwe yɛn ara ne no. Enti ebeye sɛ yɛbɛkɔ, na yɛde yɛn ho bɛma Aramfo asraafo no. Na sɛ wɔma yɛtena ase a, na ne yiye mu ne no. Na sɛ wokunkum yɛn nso a, na ɛno ara ne no.”
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.
Enti saa anwummere no, wosii mu kɔɔ Aramfo nsraban no mu, nanso na obiara nni hɔ.
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.
Na Awurade ama asraafo no nyinaa ate nteaseɛnam a ɛrekɔ mmirikaden no ne apɔnkɔ no ne asraafo dɔm kɛse a wɔrebɛn wɔn no nnyigyei. Wɔteɛteɛɛ mu se, “Israelhene afa Hetifo ne Misraimfo sɛ wɔmmɛtow nhyɛ yɛn so.”
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.
Enti wɔbɔɔ huboa, na woguan anadwo no, gyaw wɔn ntamadan, apɔnkɔ, mfurum ne wɔn biribiara, de peree wɔn nkwa.
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.
Bere a akwatafo no duu nsraban no ano no, wɔn nyinaa wurawuraa ntamadan no mu mmaako mmaako didii, nom nsa, tasee dwetɛ, sikakɔkɔɔ ne ntade de kosiei.
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.
Akyiri no, wɔkeka kyerɛkyerɛɛ wɔn ho wɔn ho se, “Nea yɛreyɛ yi nye. Eyi yɛ asɛm papa a yɛmmɔɔ obiara amanneɛ. Na sɛ yɛtwɛn kosi adekyee a, nea ɛbɛyɛ biara, asotwe bi bɛda yɛn so. Momma yɛnkɔbɔ nnipa a wɔwɔ ahemfi no amanneɛ.”
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.
Enti wɔsan baa kurow no mu, bɛbɔɔ aponanohwɛfo no asɛm a asi no ho amanneɛ sɛ wɔakɔ Aramfo no nsraban mu, na na obiara nni hɔ; nnyigyei biara nni hɔ. Na wɔasesa apɔnkɔ ne mfurum no ahama, na ntamadan no de, na ne nyinaa wɔ hɔ pɛpɛɛpɛ, nanso na onipa baako koraa nni hɔ.
11 And the porters cryed and declared to the Kings house within.
Aponanohwɛfo no teɛteɛɛ mu, kaa asɛm no maa nnipa a wɔwɔ ahemfi hɔ no tee.
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.
Ɔdasu mu na ɔhene no sɔre fii ne mpa so, ka kyerɛɛ ne mpanyimfo se, “Minim asɛm a asi. Aramfo nim sɛ ɔkɔm rekum yɛn nti, wɔatu afi wɔn nsraban mu, akɔtetɛw wuram baabi. Wɔrehwehwɛ sɛ yebefi kurow no mu, na wɔakyekyere yɛn anikann, na wɔafa kurow no.”
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.
Mpanyimfo no mu baako kae se, “Eye sɛ yɛbɛsoma akwansrafo, na wɔakɔhwehwɛ mu. Momma wɔmfa apɔnkɔ a wɔaka no mu anum. Sɛ asɛm bi to wɔn koraa a, ɛrenyɛ adehwere kɛse biara sɛ wɔbɛtena ha ne yɛn a yɛaka no bewuwu.”
14 So they tooke two charets of horses, and the King sent after the hoste of the Aramites, saying, Goe and see.
Enti wosiesiee nteaseɛnam abien ne apɔnkɔ, na ɔhene no somaa akwansrafo kɔhwɛɛ asɛm a ato Aramfo asraafo no.
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.
Wɔkɔe ara koduu Asubɔnten Yordan, dii ntade ne ahyehyɛde a Aramfo atow agu no akyi, bere a na wɔde anikrakra reguan no. Akwansrafo no san bɛbɔɔ ɔhene no amanneɛ.
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.
Enti Samariafo bɔɔ twi, kɔfow Aramfo nsraban no. Ɛno nti na ɛyɛ nokware sɛ wɔtɔn asikresiam a wɔayam no muhumuhu lita asia saa da no, de gye dwetɛ gram dubaako, atoko lita du nso, na wɔtɔn de gye dwetɛ gram du abien, sɛnea Awurade hyɛɛ ho bɔ no pɛpɛɛpɛ.
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.
Ɔhene no yii ne panyin ma ɔhwɛɛ ɔpon no mu ahyɛmfiri so, nanso nnipadɔm no twiw faa ne so ma owui. Enti biribiara baa mu pɛpɛɛpɛ, sɛnea Onyankopɔn nipa no hyɛɛ ho nkɔm bere a ɔhene no baa ne fi no.
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.
Onyankopɔn nipa no ka kyerɛɛ ɔhene no se, “Ebedu ɔkyena sesɛɛ, wɔbɛtɔn asikresiam muhumuhu lita nsia agye dwetɛ gram du baako wɔ Samaria gua biara so. Na atoko nso, wɔbɛtɔn lita du agye dwetɛ gram du abien.”
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.
Ɔhene no panyin no buae se, “Sɛ Awurade bue ɔsoro mfɛnsere mpo a, ɛremma saa da!” Na Onyankopɔn nipa no kae se, “Wubehu sɛ ɛbɛba mu saa, nanso worenni emu biara bi.”
20 And so it came vnto him: for the people trode vpon him in the gate, and he dyed.
Ɛno ara na ɛbaa mu, nnipa twiw faa ne so, kum no wɔ ɔpon no ano.
