< 2 Kings 6 >

1 And the sons of the prophets said unto Elisha, Behold now, the place where we dwell with thee is too strait for us.
Kanyakla mar jonabi nowachone Elisha niya, “Neye, kaka kama wadakie kodini tin.
2 Let us go, we pray thee, unto Jordan, and take thence every man a beam, and let us make us a place there, where we may dwell. And he answered, Go ye.
Wadhiuru Jordan mondo ngʼato ka ngʼato otongʼ yien kendo wagergo kama waduto wanyalo dakie.” Nowachonegi niya, “Dhiuru.”
3 And one said, Be content, I pray thee, and go with thy servants. And he answered, I will go.
Eka achiel kuom jonabi nowachone Elisha niya, “Donge ber idhi kodwa?” Elisha nodwoke niya, “Abiro dhi kodu.”
4 So he went with them. And when they came to Jordan, they cut down wood.
Kuom mano nodhi kodgi. Negidhi Jordan ma gichako tongʼo yien.
5 But as one was felling a beam, the axe head fell into the water: and he cried, and said, Alas, master! for it was borrowed.
To kane achiel kuomgi ne tongʼo yien, leye nolwar e pi. Noywak niya, “Yaye ruodha, korka ne en le mokwa!”
6 And the man of God said, Where fell it? And he shewed him the place. And he cut down a stick, and cast [it] in thither; and the iron did swim.
Ngʼat Nyasaye nopenje niya, Ne olwar gi kanye? Kane onyise kama ne olwarie, Elisha nongʼado luth, monyume kanyo kendo wi le nolewore.
7 Therefore said he, Take [it] up to thee. And he put out his hand, and took it.
Eka nowachone niya, “Kawe.” Eka ngʼatno norieyo lwete mokawe.
8 Then the king of Syria warred against Israel, and took counsel with his servants, saying, In such and such a place [shall be] my camp.
Ruoth Aram nenie e lweny gi jo-Israel. Bangʼ kane osewinjore gi jodonge, nowacho niya, “Abiro goyo kambina kama chalo kama.”
9 And the man of God sent unto the king of Israel, saying, Beware that thou pass not such a place; for thither the Syrians are come down.
Ngʼat Nyasaye nooro wach ne ruodh Israel kama: “Bed motangʼ kikalo kanyo nikech jo-Aram dhi buto kuno.”
10 And the king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God told him and warned him of, and saved himself there, not once nor twice.
Omiyo ruodh Israel nokalo kanyo kotangʼ kaluwore gi wach mane ngʼat Nyasaye onyise. Kinde ka kinde Elisha ne siemo ruoth, mondo obed motangʼ ne kuondego.
11 Therefore the heart of the king of Syria was sore troubled for this thing; and he called his servants, and said unto them, Will ye not shew me which of us [is] for the king of Israel?
Wachni nochwanyo chuny ruodh Aram. Noluongo jodonge mowachonegi niya, “Bende unyalo wachona ngʼat ma jakorwa makonyo ruodh Israel?”
12 And one of his servants said, None, my lord, O king: but Elisha, the prophet that [is] in Israel, telleth the king of Israel the words that thou speakest in thy bedchamber.
Achiel kuom jodonge nowacho niya, “Ruodha onge ngʼatwa moro makonye, makmana Elisha janabi man Israel ema nyiso ruodh Israel gik moko duto miwacho kata ka in e odi mar nindo.”
13 And he said, Go and spy where he [is], that I may send and fetch him. And it was told him, saying, Behold, [he is] in Dothan.
Ruoth nogolo chik kawacho niya, “Dhiuru mondo udwar kama entie mondo adhi aor ji omake.” Wach noduogo kama: “En Dothan.”
14 Therefore sent he thither horses, and chariots, and a great host: and they came by night, and compassed the city about.
Eka ne ooro farese, geche lweny kod jolweny motegno kuno. Negidhi kuno gotieno ma gilworo dala maduongʼno.
15 And when the servant of the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, an host compassed the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said unto him, Alas, my master! how shall we do?
Kane jatich ngʼat Nyasaye ochiewo mo mondo kiny gokinyi, jolweny man-gi farese kod geche lweny ne oseluoro dala maduongʼno. Jatich nopenjo niya, “Yaye, ruodha, wabiro timore nade?”
16 And he answered, Fear not: for they that [be] with us [are] more than they that [be] with them.
Janabi nodwoke niya, “Kik ubed maluor, nimar joma ni kodwa ngʼeny moloyo joma ni kodgi.”
17 And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain [was] full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.
Kendo Elisha nolemo niya, “Jehova Nyasaye, yaw wangʼe mondo onen.” Eka Jehova Nyasaye noyawo wangʼ jatijno, kendo noneno farese kod geche lweny ewi got kolworo Elisha.
18 And when they came down to him, Elisha prayed unto the LORD, and said, Smite this people, I pray thee, with blindness. And he smote them with blindness according to the word of Elisha.
Kane oneno wasigu kalor biro machiegni kode, Elisha nolamo Jehova Nyasaye niya, “Lok jogi muofu.” Omiyo noloko jogi muofni mana kaka Elisha nosekwayo.
19 And Elisha said unto them, This [is] not the way, neither [is] this the city: follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom ye seek. But he led them to Samaria.
Elisha nokonegi niya, “Ma ok en yo kendo ma ok en dala maduongʼ. Luw-uru bangʼa kendo abiro terou nyaka ir ngʼat ma udwarono.” Kendo noterogi nyaka Samaria.
20 And it came to pass, when they were come into Samaria, that Elisha said, LORD, open the eyes of these [men], that they may see. And the LORD opened their eyes, and they saw; and, behold, [they were] in the midst of Samaria.
Bangʼ kane gisedonjo e dala maduongʼno, Elisha nowacho niya, “Jehova Nyasaye yaw wangʼ jogi mondo ginen.” Eka Jehova Nyasaye noyawo wengegi kendo ka wengegi noyawore, to negiyudo ka gin Samaria.
21 And the king of Israel said unto Elisha, when he saw them, My father, shall I smite [them]? shall I smite [them]?
Kane ruodh Israel onenogi nopenjo Elisha niya, Wuora, anyalo negogi?
22 And he answered, Thou shalt not smite [them: ] wouldest thou smite those whom thou hast taken captive with thy sword and with thy bow? set bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink, and go to their master.
Nodwoke niya, “Kik ineg-gi. Bende dineg joma isemako gi liganglani kata tongʼ? Migi chiemo gicham kod pi mondo gimodhi, eka mondo gidog ir ruodhgi.”
23 And he prepared great provision for them: and when they had eaten and drunk, he sent them away, and they went to their master. So the bands of Syria came no more into the land of Israel.
Omiyo ne olosonegi nyasi maduongʼ kendo kane gisetieko chiemo kod metho, ne oorogi ma gidok ir ruodhgi. Kuom oganda lweny mag Aram noweyo monjo piny Israel.
24 And it came to pass after this, that Ben-hadad king of Syria gathered all his host, and went up, and besieged Samaria.
Bangʼ ndalo moko, Ben-Hadad ruodh Aram nochoko jolweny mage duto momonjo Samaria.
25 And there was a great famine in Samaria: and, behold, they besieged it, until an ass’s head was [sold] for fourscore [pieces] of silver, and the fourth part of a cab of dove’s dung for five [pieces] of silver.
Negilworo dalano amingʼa ma kech maduongʼ mane omako Samaria nomedore ma wi punda ne ingʼiewo gi fedha ma pekne romo kilo achiel, to ondongʼ mar owuoch akuru ningʼiewo gi fedha ma pekne romo achiel kuom apar mar kilo.
26 And as the king of Israel was passing by upon the wall, there cried a woman unto him, saying, Help, my lord, O king.
Kane ruodh Israel kalo machiegni gi ohinga mar dala maduongʼno, dhako moro noywak malit kawacho niya, “Konya, ruodha!”
27 And he said, If the LORD do not help thee, whence shall I help thee? out of the barnfloor, or out of the winepress?
Ruoth nodwoke niya, “Ka Jehova Nyasaye ok konyi, ere kama dayudnie konyruok.” Dobed kar dino cham, koso kar biyo divai?
28 And the king said unto her, What aileth thee? And she answered, This woman said unto me, Give thy son, that we may eat him to day, and we will eat my son to morrow.
Eka nopenje niya, “Angʼo marach?” To nodwoke niya, “Dhakoni nowachona mondo agol wuoda mondo wacham kawuono to kiny en bende nogol wuode mondo wacham.”
29 So we boiled my son, and did eat him: and I said unto her on the next day, Give thy son, that we may eat him: and she hath hid her son.
Omiyo ne watedo wuoda kendo wachamo. Kinyne ne awachone niya, In bende gol wuodi mi wacham, kare en to nosepando wuode.
30 And it came to pass, when the king heard the words of the woman, that he rent his clothes; and he passed by upon the wall, and the people looked, and, behold, [he had] sackcloth within upon his flesh.
Kane ruoth owinjo weche dhakono noyiecho lepe. Wachni notimore ka ruoth ne wuotho ewi ohinga, mi ji nongʼiye, moneno korwako pien gugru ei lepe.
31 Then he said, God do so and more also to me, if the head of Elisha the son of Shaphat shall stand on him this day.
Nowacho niya, “Mad Nyasaye chwada malit ka dipo kawuono ok angʼado wi Elisha wuod Shafat oko!”
32 But Elisha sat in his house, and the elders sat with him; and [the king] sent a man from before him: but ere the messenger came to him, he said to the elders, See ye how this son of a murderer hath sent to take away mine head? look, when the messenger cometh, shut the door, and hold him fast at the door: [is] not the sound of his master’s feet behind him?
Koro noyudo Elisha obet e ode ka en gi jodonge. Ruoth nooro jootene motelo e nyime, to kane pok ochopo, Elisha nowachone jodonge niya, “Donge uneno ka koro janekni oro ngʼato mondo obi onega? Winjuru, ka jaote ochopo, to ulor dhoot matek ma kik odonji, nimar ruodhe luwo bangʼe machiegni.”
33 And while he yet talked with them, behold, the messenger came down unto him: and he said, Behold, this evil [is] of the LORD; what should I wait for the LORD any longer?
Kane pod owuoyonegi, jaote nochopo ire. Kendo ruoth nowachone niya, “Masirani oa mana kuom Jehova Nyasaye, omiyo onge tiende medo geno kuom Jehova Nyasaye.”
