< 2 Kings 6 >

1 And the sons of the prophets said unto Elisha', Behold now, the place where we dwell before thee is too narrow for us.
Hoe o anam-pitokio amy Elisà, Hehe te loho maifitse ama’ay ty fin­dreza’ay fimoneñe ama’o etoañe.
2 Let us go, we pray thee, as far as the Jordan, and take thence every man one beam, and let us prepare for us there a place to dwell therein. And he said, Go.
Ehe, angao handenà’ay mb’am’Iordaney mb’eo, songa hangalake ty boda’e boak’ ao han­dranjia’ay akiba himoneña’ay. Le hoe re, Akia.
3 And one said, Give thy assent, I pray thee, and go with thy servants. And he said, I will indeed go.
Le hoe ty raike, Ee te ho no’o ty hindre-lia amo mpitoro’oo. Le hoe ty natoi’e: Homb’eo iraho.
4 So he went with them; and they came to the Jordan, and they cut down trees.
Aa le nindreza’e. Ie pok’am’ Iordaney, le namira hatae.
5 But as one was felling a beam, the axe-head fell into the water: and he cried, and said, Alas, my Lord! it was also borrowed.
Fe nadebo’ ty raike i boda’ey, le nipitsik’ an-drano ao ty lela’ i feko’ey vaho hoe re, Hoke, talè, nindrameñe ‘nio.
6 And the man of God said, Where did it fall? And he showed him the place. And he cut down a stick, and cast it in thither, and he caused the iron to swim.
Le hoe indatin’ Añaharey, aia ty nijoroboña’e? Le natoro’e aze i nipoha’ey. Aa le nibira hatae kede re nañifik’ aze ey, nampitsikafoñe i viñey.
7 And then said he, Lift it up to thee. And he stretched out his hand, and took it.
Le hoe re ama’e rambeso. Aa le nahiti’e ty fità’e nandrambe aze.
8 And the king of Syria made war against Israel, and took counsel with his servants, saying, In such and such a place shall be my camp.
Nialy amy Israele amy zao ty mpanjaka’ i Arame, le nisafiry amo mpitoro’eo, nanao ty hoe; An-koe naho an-koe ao ty hitobeako.
9 And the man of God sent unto the king of Israel, saying, Beware that thou pass not that place; for thither the Syrians are come down.
Le nampañitrike mb’ amy mpanjaka’ Israeley mb’eo indatin’ Añaharey, ty hoe: Asoao irehe tsy hiary an-koe eo, amy t’ie homba’ o nte-Ara­meo.
10 And the king of Israel sent to the place, which the man of God had told him and warned him of, and he took care of himself there: not once nor twice.
Aa le nañirak’ amy toetse natoro naho nahatahata’ indatin’ Añaharey azey vaho nitaòa’e i toetsey, tsy indroe tsy indraike.
11 Therefore the heart of the king of Syria was sorely troubled concerning this thing; and he called for his servants, and said unto them, Can ye not tell me who of us is for the king of Israel?
Aa le nahatsimboetse ty arofo’ i mpanjaka’ i Aramey i rahay, le kinoi’e o mpitoro’eo vaho nanoa’e ty hoe: Tsy hatoro’ areo amako hao te ia aman-tika ty mpiamy mpanjaka’ Israeley?
12 And one of his servants said, Not so, my Lord, O king; but Elisha', the prophet that is in Israel, can tell unto the king of Israel the words that thou mayest speak in thy sleeping-chamber.
Le hoe ty mpitoro’e, Tsie, ry talè mpanjakako; i Elisà, mpitoki’ Israeley ty mitali­ly amy mpanjaka’ Israeley ty entañe saontsie’o añ’efem-pandrea’o ao.
13 And he said, Go and see where he is, that I may send and fetch him. And it was told unto him, saying, Behold, he is in Dothan.
Le hoe re: Akia, rendreho te aia, soa te hampihitrifeko añe ty hangalak’ aze. Le natalily ama’e t’ie e Dotane ao.
14 And he sent thither horses, and chariots, and a strong army: and they came by night, and surrounded the city.
Aa le nañiraha’e soavala naho sarete vaho ty lahialeñe ama’e, nañarikoboñe i rovay te haleñe.
15 And the servant of the man of God rose early, and went forth, when, behold, an army compassed the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said unto him, Alas, my master! how shall we do?
Aa ie nitroatse maraindray ty mpitoro’ indatin’ Añaharey, naho niavotse, indroy ty valobohòke reketse soavala naho sarete niarikatoke i rovay. Le hoe i mpitoro’ey ama’e, Hankàñe, ry talèko! Akore ty hanoen-tika?
16 And he said, Fear not: for those that are with us are more than those that are with them.
Le hoe ty natoi’e: Ko hembañe, fa maro ty aman-tika te am’ iereo.
17 And Elisha' prayed, and said, O Lord, open, I pray thee, 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'.
Aa le niloloke t’i Elisà nanao ty hoe: Ry Iehovà, ihalaliako, ampibeaho o maso’eo hahatrea; le sinoka’ Iehovà o maso’ i mpi­toro’eio le nahaisake te indroy, nanitsike i vohitsey ty mpiningi-tsoavala naho sareten’ afo niarikatok’ i Elisà.
18 And when they came down to him, Elisha' prayed unto the Lord, and said, Smite, I pray thee, this people with blindness. And he smote them with blindness according to the word of Elisha'.
Aa ie nizotso mb’ ama’e mb’eo o nte-Arameo le nihalaly amy Iehovà t’i Elisà ami’ty hoe: Ehe lafao hagoa ondatio. Aa le pinao’e ty hafè iereo ty amy saontsi’ i Elisày.
19 And Elisha' said unto them, This is not the way, neither is this the city: follow me, and I will lead you to the man whom ye wish to seek. And he led them thus to Samaria.
Le hoe t’i Elisà am’ iereo, Tsy ie ty lalañe toy, tsy ie ka ty rova toy; oriho iraho vaho hase­seko mb’ amy ‘ndaty paiae’ areoy. Le kinozozò’e mb’e Somerone mb’eo.
20 And it came to pass, when they were come into Samaria, that Elisha' said, Lord, open the eyes of these, that they may see. And the Lord opened their eyes, and they saw, and, behold, they were in the midst of Samaria.
Ie amy zao, naho nivotrake e Somerone ao iereo le nanao ty hoe t’i Elisà. Ry Iehovà, sokafo o fihaino ondaty retoañeo, hahaisake. Aa le nampibolanahe’ Iehovà ty fihaino ondaty reo, vaho nahaisake te heheke, am-po’ i Somerone ao.
21 And the king of Israel said unto Elisha', when he saw them, Shall I smite them? Shall I smite them, my father?
Le hoe ty mpanjaka’ Israele amy Elisà, ie nioni’e, O aba, ho lafaeko hao? ho zevoñeko ambane hao?
22 But he said, Thou shalt not smite them: wouldst 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 [back] to their master.
Le hoe ty natoi’e: ko lafae’o. Ho nizevoñe’o hao o nitsepahe’o am-pibara naho fale’oo? Anjotso mahakama naho rano, hikamà’e, hinoma’e, himpolie’ iareo mb’ an-talè’ iareo añe.
23 And he prepared for them a great meal; and they ate and drank, and he sent them away, and they went [back] to their master. And the predatory bands of Syria came no more into the land of Israel.
Aa le nihalankañe’e takataka, naho nikama naho ninoñe iereo vaho nirahe’e mb’ aman-talè’ iareo añe. Aa le tsy niheo mb’ an-tane Israele mb’eo ka o mpirim­bon-dahindefo’ i Arameo.
24 And it came to pass after this, that Ben-hadad the king of Syria assembled all his camp, and went up, and besieged Samaria.
Ie añe, le natonto’ i Benhadade mpanjaka’ i Arame i valobohò’e iabiy, le nionjomb’eo namandroñe i Some­rone.
25 And there was a great famine in Samaria; and, behold, they besieged it, until an ass's head was sold for eighty pieces of silver, and the fourth part of a kab of dove's dung for five pieces of silver.
Nanilofen-kasalikoañe ty Somerone henane zay; le niarikatoheñe ampara’ te naletake volafoty va­lompolo ty loham-borìke naho volafoty lime ty tain-deho am-pahèfa’ ty kabe.
26 And it happened as the king of Israel was passing along upon the wall, that a woman cried unto him, saying, Help, my Lord, O king.
Nidraidraitse ambone’ i kijoliy ty mpanjaka’ Israele, le nitoreo ty hoe ama’e ty rakemba: Rombaho iraho talèko, mpanjaka.
27 And he said, If the Lord do not help thee, whence shall I help thee? shall it be out of the threshing-floor, or out of the wine-press?
Le hoe re, Naho tsy mandrombak’ azo t’Iehovà, aia ty hañolorako azo? he boak’ an-toem-pamofohañe, ke boak’ am-pipiritan-divay ao?
28 And the king said unto her, What aileth thee? And she said, This woman said unto me, Give up thy son, that we may eat him today, and my son we will eat tomorrow.
Le hoe ty mpanjaka ama’e: Ino o mañolañe azoo. Le hoe ty natoi’e: Nanao ty hoe amako ty rakemba, Atoloro hey i ana-dahi’oy ho hanentika anito le ho hanentika hamaray i ana-dahikoy.
29 So we boiled my son, and ate him; but when I said unto her on the next day, Give up thy son, that we may eat him: she hid her son.
Aa le kinetre’ay i ana-dahikoy naho nihane’ay; le hoe ty asako ama’e amy loakandroy, Atoloro ka i ana-dahi’oy hihinanan-tikañe; fe naeta’e i ana-dahi’ey.
30 And it came to pass, when the king heard the words of the woman, that he rent his clothes, as he was passing along upon the wall: and the people looked, and, behold, he had sackcloth beneath upon his flesh.
Ie nahajanjiñe ty enta’ i rakembay i mpanjakay le rinia’e o saro’eo, le nitonjohize’e ty lia’e amy kijoliy, f’ie nandrendrehe’ ondatio, heheke te lamba-gony ty an-tsandri’e.
31 Then said he, May God do so unto me and continue so yet farther, if the head of Elisha' the son of Shaphat shall remain on him this day.
Le hoe re: Ee te hafetsan’ Añahare amako naho mandikoatse, naho mbe hipetak’ amy Elisà ana’ i Safate ty añ­am­bone’e te anito.
32 But Elisha' was sitting in his house, and the elders were sitting with him; and he sent a man from before him; but before the messenger could yet come to him, he said to the elders, See ye how this son of the murderer hath sent to remove my head? look, when the messenger cometh, shut the door, and hold him back with the door: is not the sound of his master's feet behind him?
Fe niam­besatse añ’an­jomba’e ao t’i Elisà, naho nitrao-piambesatse ama’e o androanavio; le nañitrike ìrake hiaolo aze mb’eo i mpanjakay fe mbe tsy pok’ eo i nahitrikey, le hoe re amo androanavio: Oni’ areo hao te nañitrife’ ty anam-pamono tia ty lohako? Inao, ie pok’eo i irakey, arindrino i lalañey naho tano mirindriñe ama’e i lalañey; aa tsy mañorik’ aze hao ty fika­tsea­katse­am-pandia’ i tompo’ey?
33 And while he was yet speaking with them, behold, the messenger came down unto him: and he said, Behold, this evil is of the Lord; what shall I hope for in the Lord any longer?
Ie mbe nisaontsy am’ iereo, le nivo­trak’ ama’e i ìrakey nanao ty hoe, Inao, boak’ am’ Iehovà o hekoheko zao, ino ty mbe handiñisako Iehovà?
