Kings IV 4
1 And one of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried to Elisaie, saying, Your servant my husband is dead; and you know that your servant feared the Lord: and the creditor is come to take my two sons to be his servants.
Azɔ la, nyɔnu aɖe si tso nyagblɔɖilawo ƒe nusrɔ̃lawo srɔ̃wo dome la va fa avi na Elisa be, “Wò dɔla, srɔ̃nye ku eye wò ŋutɔ ènya ale si wòvɔ̃a Yehowae. Ke azɔ la, ame si si wònyi fe le la va be yeakplɔ vinye ŋutsuvi eveawo woazu yeƒe kluviwo.”
2 And Elisaie said, What shall I do for you? tell me what you have in the house. And she said, Your servant has nothing in the house, except oil wherewith I anoint myself.
Elisa biae be, “Nu ka mawɔ akpe ɖe ŋutiwò? Nuɖuɖu ƒe agbɔsɔsɔ kae le asiwò le wò aƒe me?” Nyɔnu la ɖo eŋu be, “Nuɖuɖu aɖeke mele asinye wu ami atukpa ɖeka o.”
3 And he said to her, Go, borrow for yourself vessels without of all your neighbors, [even] empty vessels; borrow not a few.
Elisa gblɔ na nyɔnu la be, “Enyo, yi nàɣe ze kple gagba aɖewo tso xɔ̃wòwo kple wò aƒelikawo gbɔ.
4 And you shall go in and shut the door upon you and upon your sons, and you shall pour forth into these vessels, and remove that which is filled.
Mi kple viwòwo miyi miaƒe xɔ me, eye miatu ʋɔa. Esia megbe la, trɔ ami si le wò atukpa la me la ɖe zeawo kple gagbaawo me. Tsɔ ɖe sia ɖe si yɔ la da ɖe axadzi!”
5 And she departed from him, and shut the door upon herself and upon her sons: they brought the vessels near to her, and she poured in until the vessels were filled.
Nyɔnu la wɔ nu si nyagblɔɖila la ɖo nɛ. Via ŋutsuwo tsɔ ze kple gagbawo siwo woɣe la vɛ nɛ eye wòtrɔ ami la ɖe wo me.
6 And she said to her sons, Bring me yet a vessel. And they said to her, There is not a vessel more. And the oil stayed.
Sẽe ko la, zeawo kple gagbaawo katã yɔ banabana! Nyɔnu la gblɔ na via ŋutsuawo be, “Migatsɔ ze bubu vɛ.” Woɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Ze aɖeke megali o!” Ale ami la dzudzɔ dodo le atukpa la me.
7 And she came and told the man of God: and Elisaie said, Go, and sell the oil, and you shall pay your debts, and you and your sons shall live of the remaining oil.
Nyɔnu la yi ɖagblɔ nya la na Mawu ƒe Ame la eye wòɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Yi nàdzra ami la eye nàxe fe siwo nènyi. Ga si atsi anyi la, agasusɔ na wò kple viwòwo dzi kpɔkpɔ!”
8 And a day came, when Elisaie passed over to Soman, and [there was] a great lady there, and she constrained him to eat bread: and it came to pass as often as he went into [the city, that] he turned aside to eat there.
Gbe ɖeka la, Elisa yi Sunem eye nyɔnu kesinɔtɔ aɖe nɔ afi ma ame si ƒoe ɖe enu be wòatsi ye gbɔ aɖu nu. Ale ne egava to mɔ ma yina la, etɔna ɖe afi ma be yeaɖu nu.
9 And the woman said to her husband, See now, I know that this [is] a holy man of God who comes over continually to us.
Nyɔnu la gblɔ na srɔ̃a be, “Menya be ŋutsu sia, si va toa míaƒe mɔ dzi le afi sia edziedzi la nye Mawu ƒe ame kɔkɔe.
10 Let us now make for him an upper chamber, a small place; and let us put there for him a bed, and a table, and a stool, and a candlestick: and it shall come to pass that when he comes in to us, he shall turn in there.
Na míawɔ xɔ sue aɖe ɖe míaƒe xɔtame nɛ eye míatsɔ aba, kplɔ̃ kple zikpui kple akaɖi ada ɖe eme nɛ. Ekema ava tsi afi ma ɣe sia ɣi si wòava adze mía gbɔ.”
11 And a day came, and he went in there, and turned aside into the upper chamber, and lay there.
Gbe ɖeka esi Elisa gava la, eyi ɖamlɔ anyi ɖe eƒe xɔ me.
12 And he said to Giezi his servant, Call me this Somanite. and he called her, and she stood before him.
Egblɔ na eƒe subɔla, Gehazi be, “Yɔ Sunami nyɔnu la nam.” Gehazi yi ɖayɔe eye wòva tsi tsitre ɖe Elisa ŋkume.
13 And he said to him, Say now to her, Behold, you have taken all this trouble for us; what should I do for you? Hast you any request [to make] to the king, or to the captain of the host? And she said, I dwell in the midst of my people.
Elisa gblɔ na Gehazi be, “Gblɔ na nyɔnu la be ‘Èkpe fu siawo katã ɖe mía ta. Azɔ la, nu kae woawɔ na wò? Míƒo nu ɖe nuwò le fia la ŋkume loo alo aʋafia la ŋkumea?’” Nyɔnu la ɖo eŋu be, “Aƒe le asinye le nye ŋutɔ nye amewo dome.”
14 And he said to Giezi, What must we do for her? and Giezi his servant said, Indeed she has no son, and her husband [is] old.
Elisa bia Gehazi emegbe be, “Nu ka míawɔ nɛ?” Gehazi ɖo eŋu be, “Viŋutsu mele esi o, evɔ srɔ̃a nye amegãɖeɖi!”
15 And he called her, and she stood by the door.
Elisa gblɔ be, “Yɔe ɖa.” Eyi ɖayɔe eye nyɔnu la va tsi tsitre ɖe xɔa ƒe mɔnu.
16 And Elisaie said to her, At this time [next year], as the season [is], you [shall be] alive, and embrace a son. And she said, Nay, my lord, do not lie to your servant.
Elisa gblɔ nɛ be, “Le ƒe si gbɔna ƒe ɣe aleawo ɣi tututu la, àlé viŋutsuvi ɖe wò abɔwo me.” Nyɔnu la gblɔ be, “Ao, nye aƒetɔ, mègable wò dɔla o, O Mawu ƒe ame.”
17 And the woman conceived, and bore a son at the very time, as the season was, being alive, as Elisaie said to her.
Ke nyɔnu la fɔ fu eye esi ƒe trɔ le ɣeyiɣi ma ke dzi la, edzi ŋutsuvi abe ale si Elisa gblɔe nɛ do ŋgɔe ene.
18 And the child grew: and it came to pass when he went out to his father to the reapers,
Ɖevi la tsi eye gbe ɖeka la, edo go yi fofoa gbɔ, ame si nɔ nukuxalawo gbɔ.
19 that he said to his father, My head, my head. and [his father] said to a servant, carry him to his mother.
Ɖevi la gblɔ na fofoa be, “Nye ta! Nye ta!” Fofoa gblɔ na dɔla ɖeka be, “Kɔe yi na dadaa.”
20 And he carried him to his mother, and he lay upon her knees till noon, and died.
Esi dɔla la kɔe yi na dadaa la, ɖevi la nɔ akɔ nɛ va se ɖe ŋdɔ me eye ɖevi la ku.
21 And she carried him up and laid him on the bed of the man of god; and she shut the door upon him, and went out.
Nyɔnu la yi dziƒoxɔ la dzi hetsɔ ɖevi kuku la mlɔ Mawu ƒe ame la ƒe aba dzi, tu ʋɔa eye wòdo go.
22 And she called her husband, and said, Send now for me one of the young men, and one of the asses, and I will ride quickly to the man of God, and return.
Eyɔ srɔ̃a eye wògblɔ nɛ bena, “Meɖe kuku, yi nàɖo wò dɔlawo dometɔ ɖeka kple tedzi ɖem ale be mate ŋu ayi Mawu ƒe ame la gbɔ kaba, atrɔ agbɔ.”
23 And he said, Why are you going to him today? It is neither new moon, nor the Sabbath. And she said, [It is] well.
Ŋutsu la ɖo eŋu be, “Nu ka ŋuti nàyi egbɔ egbe? Egbe menye Dzinu Yeye alo Dzudzɔgbe ŋkeke o.” Nyɔnu la ɖo eŋu nɛ be, “Anyo ne mayi.”
24 And she saddled the ass, and said to her servant, Be quick, proceed: spare not on my account to ride, unless I shall tell you. Go, and you shall proceed, and come to the man of God to mount Carmel.
Ebla akpa na tedzi la eye wògblɔ na eƒe dɔla la be, “Doe sesĩe, mègadoe ɖɔɖɔɖɔ nam o, negbe megblɔe na wo hafi.”
25 And she rode and came to the man of God to the mountain: and it came to pass when Elisaie saw her coming, that he said to Giezi his servant, See now, that Somanite comes.
Ale wodze mɔ heva Mawu ƒe ame la gbɔ le Karmel to dzi. Esi Mawu ƒe ame la kpɔe ɖaa le adzɔge la, egblɔ na eƒe dɔla Gehazi be, “Kpɔ ɖa, Sunami nyɔnu lae nye ekem.
26 Now run to meet her, and you shall say, [Is it] well with you? [is it] well with your husband? [is it] well with the child? and she said, [It is] well.
Ƒu du nàyi ɖakpee, nàbiae be, ‘Mi katã miedɔ nyuiea? Srɔ̃wò fɔ sesĩea? Viwò la fɔ nyuiea?’” Nyɔnu la ɖo eŋu be, “Nu sia nu le nyuie.”
27 And she came to Elisaie to the mountain, and laid hold of his feet; and Giezi drew near to thrust her away. And Elisaie said, Let her alone, for her soul [is] much grieved in her, and the Lord has hidden [it] from me, and has not told [it] me.
Esi wòɖo Mawu ƒe ame la gbɔ le toa dzi la, edze klo lé eƒe afɔ. Gehazi va be yeatutui ɖa gake Mawu ƒe ame la gblɔ nɛ be, “Ɖe asi le eŋu! Ele xaxa gã aɖe me gake Yehowa ɣlae ɖem eye megblɔ nu si tae la nam o.”
28 And she said, Did I ask a son of my lord? For did I not say, Do not deal deceitfully with me?
Nyɔnu la gblɔ nɛ be, “Nye aƒetɔ, ɖe mebia viŋutsu wòa? Nyemegblɔ na wò be, ‘Mègaflum o’ mahã.”
29 And Elisaie said to Giezi, Gird up your loins, and take my staff in your hand, and go: if you meet any man, you shall not salute him, and if a man salute you you shall not answer him: and you shall lay my staff on the child's face.
Elisa gblɔ na Gehazi be, “Bla wò ali dzi, tsɔ nye atikplɔ ɖe asi eye nàƒu du. Ne èdo go ame aɖe la, mègado gbe nɛ o eye ne ame aɖe do gbe na wò la, mègalɔ̃ o. Tsɔ nye atikplɔ la da ɖe ɖevi la ƒe mo.”
30 And the mother of the child said, [As] the Lord lives and [as] your soul lives, I will not leave you. And Elisaie arose, and went after her.
Vinɔ la gblɔ be, “Meta Yehowa kple wò agbe be nyemayi aƒe me o negbe ɖeko nàyi kplim hafi!” Ale Elisa tso hedze nyɔnu la yome.
31 And Giezi went on before her, and laid his staff on the child's face: but there was neither voice nor any hearing. So he returned to meet him, and told him, saying, The child is not awaked.
Gehazi do ŋgɔ na wo ɖatsɔ atikplɔ la da ɖe ɖevi la ƒe mo, ke nya aɖeke medzɔ o. Agbe ƒe dzesi aɖeke menɔ ɖevi la me o. Ale Gehazi trɔ ɖatu Elisa eye wògblɔ nɛ be, “Ɖevi la menyɔ o.”
32 And Elisaie went into the house, and, behold, the dead child was laid upon his bed.
Esi Elisa ɖo aƒea me la, ɖevi kuku lae nye ekem wotsɔ mlɔ eƒe aba dzi.
33 And Elisaie went into the house, and shut the door upon themselves, the two, and prayed to the Lord.
Ege ɖe xɔa me, tu ʋɔa ɖe wo ame evea nu eye wòdo gbe ɖa na Yehowa.
34 And he went up, and lay upon the child, and put his mouth upon his mouth, and his eyes upon his eyes, and his hands upon his hands; and bowed himself upon him, and the flesh of the child grew warm.
Esia megbe la, ede abati la dzi mlɔ ɖevi kuku la dzi, tsɔ eƒe nu ɖo ɖevi la ƒe nu dzi, eƒe ŋku ɖo eƒe ŋku dzi eye wòtsɔ eƒe asiwo ɖo eƒe asiwo dzi eye wòdrã ɖe ɖevi la dzi, kasia ɖevi la ƒe lãme de asi dzoxɔxɔ me!
35 And he returned, and walked up and down in the house: and he went up, and bowed himself on the child seven times; and the child opened his eyes.
Elisa fɔ tso abati la dzi eye wòɖi tsa sẽe le xɔa me. Egatrɔ de abati la dzi eye wògadrã ɖe ɖevi la dzi. Azɔ la, ɖevi la nye zi adre eye wòʋu eƒe ŋkuwo!
36 And Elisaie cried out to Giezi, and said, Call this Somanite. So he called her, and she came in to him: and Elisaie said, Take your son.
Elisa yɔ Gehazi eye wògblɔ nɛ be, “Yɔ Sunami nyɔnu la vɛ.” Eyi ɖayɔe. Esi nyɔnu la va la, egblɔ nɛ be, “Xɔ viwò ŋutsuvi la.”
37 And the woman went in, and fell at his feet, and did obeisance [bowing] to the ground; and she took her son, and went out.
Nyɔnu la va, dze klo ɖe eƒe afɔ nu eye wòde ta agu nɛ. Tete wòxɔ ɖevi la eye wòdo go.
38 And Elisaie returned to Galgala: and a famine [was] in the land; and the sons of the prophets sat before him: and Elisaie said to his servant, Set on the great pot, and boil pottage for the sons of the prophets.
Elisa trɔ azɔ yi Gilgal, afi si dɔwuame gã aɖe nɔ. Gbe ɖeka esi wònɔ nu fiam nyagblɔɖilawo ƒe nusrɔ̃lawo la, egblɔ na Gehazi be wòawɔ atadi na nusrɔ̃lawo ƒe fiẽnuɖuɖu.
39 And he went out into the field to gather herbs, and found a vine in the field, and gathered of it wild gourds, his garment full; and he cast it into the caldron of pottage, for they knew [them] not.
Nusrɔ̃lawo dometɔ ɖeka yi gbe me be yeadi amagbe aɖe vɛ. Egbɔ kple amagbe aɖewo siwo treklɔnuwo le wo ŋu, tsɔ wo ɖo dzo dzi, ke menya be aɖi le wo me o.
40 And he poured it out for the men to eat: and it came to pass, when they were eating of the pottage, that behold! they cried out, and said, [There is] death in the pot, O man of God. And they could not eat.
Esi ameawo de asi nua ɖuɖu me ko la, wodo ɣli be, “Oo, Mawu ƒe ame, aɖi le nuɖuɖu la me!”
41 And he said, Take meal, and cast it into the pot. And Elisaie said to his servant Giezi, Pour out for the people, and let them eat. And there was no longer there any hurtful thing in the pot.
Elisa na woku blimɔ aɖe vɛ nɛ. Etsɔe da ɖe ze la me eye wògblɔ na wo be, “Enyo azɔ; aɖi la vɔ le eme, miyi eɖuɖu dzi.” Woɖui eye naneke mewɔ wo o.
42 And there came a man over from Baetharisa, and brought to the man of God twenty barley loaves and cakes of figs, of the first fruits. And he said, Give to the people, and let them eat.
Gbe ɖeka la, ame aɖe si tso Baal Salisa la va na bli mumu kotoku ɖeka kple abolo blaeve siwo wowɔ kple lu yeye tso eƒe nuŋeŋe gbãtɔ me Mawu ƒe ame la. Elisa gblɔ na Gehazi be wòatsɔ wo ana nusrɔ̃lawo woaɖu.
43 And his servant said, Why should I set this before a hundred men? and he said, Give to the people, and let them eat; for thus says the Lord, They shall eat and leave.
Gehazi bia be, “Nuɖuɖu sue sia ade na ame alafa ɖeka siawoa?” Ke Elisa gblɔ be, “Tsɔe na wo ko elabena Yehowa gblɔ be nuɖuɖu la asu ame sia ame eye ɖe gɔ̃ hã agatsi anyi!”
44 And they ate and left, according to the word of the Lord.
Nuɖuɖua su ame sia ame eye ɖe gɔ̃ hã gatsi anyi abe ale si Yehowa gblɔ ene!
