2 Kings 7
1 Then said Elisha', Hear ye the word of the Lord: Thus hath said the Lord, About this time tomorrow a seah of fine flour shall be sold for a shekel, and two seahs of barley for a shekel, in the gate of Samaria.
Ịlaisha zara sị ya, “Nụrụ okwu Onyenwe anyị. Nʼihi na otu a ka Onyenwe anyị na-ekwu, Nʼoge dịka mgbe a echi, a ga-ere otu akpa nta ụtụ ọka otu shekel, rekwaa akpa nta ọka balị abụọ otu shekel nʼọnụ ụzọ ama obodo Sameria.”
2 Then answered the lord of the king, on whose hand he used to lean, the man of God, and said, Behold, will the Lord make windows in the heavens, that this thing shall be? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thy eyes, but thereof shalt thou not eat.
Ọchịagha ahụ, nke eze na-adabere nʼaka ya, sịrị onye nke Chineke, “Lee, a sịkwarị na Onyenwe anyị emeghee oghere idee nke eluigwe, nke a ọ pụrụ ime?” Ma Ịlaisha zara ya, “Ị ga-eji anya gị abụọ hụ ya, ma ị gaghị eri site nʼime ya.”
3 And there were four leprous men at the entrance of the gate: and they said one to another, Why do we remain here until we die?
Nʼoge a, e nwere ndị ekpenta anọ nọ nʼezi mgbidi gbara Sameria gburugburu, nʼakụkụ ọnụ ụzọ e si abata obodo ahụ. Ha sịrịtara onwe ha, “Gịnị ka anyị nọ nʼebe a na-eme? Ọ bụ ka anyị nọrọ nʼebe a tutu anyị anwụọ?
4 If we say, We will enter into the city, then is the famine in the city, and we shall die there; and if we remain here, we die [also]: now therefore come, and let us go over unto the camp of the Syrians; if they will let us live, we shall live; and if they kill us, we shall but die.
Ọ bụrụ na anyị asị, ‘Anyị ga-abanye nʼime obodo,’ ụnwụ dị nʼebe ahụ, anyị ga-anwụkwa. Ọ bụrụkwanụ na anyị anọgide nʼebe a anyị ga-anwụ. Ya mere ka anyị gafeenụ banye nʼọmụma ụlọ ikwu ndị agha Aram, were onwe anyị nyefee ha nʼaka. Ọ bụrụ na ha edebe anyị ndụ, anyị ga-adị ndụ, ọ bụrụ na ha egbuo anyị, anyị ga-anwụkwa.”
5 And they rose up in the twilight, to go unto the camp of the Syrians; and when they were come to the uttermost part of the camp of the Syrians, behold, there was no man there.
Nʼoge uhuruchi, ha biliri gaa nʼọmụma ụlọ ikwu ndị agha Aram. Mgbe ha bịarutere nʼọnụ ụlọ ikwu ahụ, o nwekwaghị onye nọ nʼebe ahụ,
6 For the Lord had caused the camp of the Syrians to hear a noise of chariots, and a noise of horses, the noise of a large army: and they said one to the other, Lo, the king of Israel hath hired against us the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of the Egyptians, to come upon us.
nʼihi na Onyenwe anyị mere ka ndị Aram nụ ụzụ ụgbọ agha na nke ịnyịnya, na nke usuu ndị agha. Nke a mere ka onye ọbụla gwa ibe ya sị, “Lee, eze ndị Izrel egoola ndị agha ndị Het, na ndị eze Ijipt ibuso anyị agha.”
7 And they were arisen and fled in the twilight, and had left their tents, and their horses, and their asses, the camp as it was, and fled for their life.
Ha biliri gbapụ ọsọ nʼabalị ahụ, hapụ ụlọ ikwu ha niile, na ịnyịnya ha niile, na ịnyịnya ibu ha niile, na ihe niile otu o si dịrị, ma gbapụ ọsọ ndụ.
8 And so came these lepers to the uttermost part of the camp, and they went into one tent, and ate and drank, and carried away thence silver, and gold, and garments, and went and hid them; and they returned, and entered into another tent, and carried away [something] thence, and went and hid it.
Mgbe ndị ekpenta ahụ rutere ogige ndị agha ndị Siria, ha banyere nʼime otu ụlọ rie ihe, ṅụkwaa ihe ọṅụṅụ dị nʼime ya. Ha chịịrị ọlaọcha na ọlaedo na uwe ọma niile dị nʼime ya gaa zoo ha. Ọzọkwa, ha lọghachiri banye nʼụlọ ọzọ kwakọrọ ụfọdụ ihe dị nʼime ya gaa zoo.
9 And then they said one to the other, We do not act correctly; this day is a day of good tidings; and if we remain silent, and tarry till the morning-light, we shall incur guilt: now then come, and let us go and tell it at the king's house.
Ma mgbe ahụ ha sịrịtara onwe ha, “Ihe anyị na-eme ezighị ezi. Taa bụ ụbọchị oziọma, ma lee ka anyị na-agba nkịtị. Ọ bụrụ na anyị echere ruo ìhè ụtụtụ, a ga-achọpụta ajọọ omume anyị. Ugbu a bịanụ, ka anyị gaa gwa ndị nọ nʼụlọeze, ihe anyị hụrụ.”
10 So they went and called unto one of the gate-keepers of the city, and they told them, saying, We came to the camp of the Syrians, and, behold, there was no man there, nor the voice of man; but the horses were tied, and the asses were tied, and the tents as they had been.
Ya mere, ha gara kpọkuo ndị nche ọnụ ụzọ obodo ahụ, gwa ha sị, “Anyị banyere nʼogige ndị agha Aram, o nweghị mmadụ ọbụla nọ nʼebe ahụ, ọ dịghị olu mmadụ anyị nụrụ nʼebe ahụ, naanị ịnyịnya na ịnyịnya ibu elibere nʼosisi, na ụlọ ikwu ha a hapụrụ dịka ha dị.”
11 And he called the gate-keepers; and they told it at the king's house within.
Ndị na-eche nche tiri mkpu kọọrọ ndị nọ nʼụlọeze ihe mere.
12 And the king arose in the night, and said unto his servants, I can easily tell you what the Syrians have done to us: they know that we are hungry; and they are therefore gone out of the camp to hide themselves in the field, saying, If they should come out of the city, we will catch them alive, and enter into the city.
Eze biliri nʼabalị ahụ gwa ndịisi ọrụ ya sị, “Ka m gwa unu ihe ndị Aram mere anyị. Ha maara na anyị nọ nʼoke agụụ, nʼihi ya, ha akpacharala anya hapụ ọmụma ụlọ ikwu ha gaa zoo onwe ha nʼime ọhịa. Echiche ha bụ, ‘Ndị a ga-apụtarịrị, mgbe ahụ, anyị ga-ejide ha na ndụ, banyekwa nʼime obodo ha.’”
13 And one of his servants answered and said, Let some take, I pray thee, five of the horses that remain, which are left in the city, let it fare with them as with all the multitude of Israel that are left in it, [or] let it fare with them as with all the multitude of Israel that have perished: and let us send out and see.
Ma otu onye nʼime ndịisi agha ya zara sị ya, “Ka ụfọdụ mmadụ duru ịnyịnya ise ndị ahụ fọdụrụ nʼobodo. Ọ bụrụ na ndị a alọtaghị ọnọdụ ha ga-adị ka nke ndị Izrel niile fọdụrụ nʼebe, e, ha ga-adị ka ndị Izrel niile a gụrụ dịka ndị nwụrụ anwụ. Ya mere, ka anyị zipụ ha ka ha gaa chọpụta ihe mere.”
14 And they took two chariots with horses; and the king sent after the camp of the Syrians, saying, Go and see.
Ya mere, ha họpụtara ụgbọ agha abụọ na ịnyịnya ndị na-adọkpụ ha. Eze zipụrụ ha ịchụso ndị agha Aram, O nyere ndị na-agba ha iwu sị, “Gaanụ chọpụta ihe mere.”
15 And they went after them as far as the Jordan; and, lo, the whole way was full of garments and vessels, which the Syrians had cast away in their haste: and the messengers returned, and told it to the king.
Ha sogidere ha ruo nʼosimiri Jọdan. Nʼakụkụ ụzọ niile jupụtara nʼuwe na ngwa agha ndị agha Aram tufuru mgbe ha na-eme ngwangwa. Ndị ahụ e zipụrụ lọghachiri bịa kọọrọ eze ihe ha hụrụ.
16 And the people went out, and plundered the camp of the Syrians: and a seah of fine flour was to be had for a shekel, and two seahs of barley for a shekel, according to the word of the Lord.
Ndị Izrel niile pụrụ gaa kwakọrọ ihe dị nʼọmụma ụlọ ikwu ndị Aram. Nke bụ na e rere otu akpa nta ụtụ ọka a kwọrọ nke ọma otu shekel, rekwaa akpa ọka balị abụọ otu shekel dịka Onyenwe anyị si kwuo.
17 And the king had appointed the lord on whose hand he used to lean to have the charge of the gate; and the people trod him down in the gate, and he died; as the man of God had spoken, which he spoke when the king came down to him.
Eze họpụtara ọchịagha ahụ, nke ọ na-adabere nʼaka ya, nye ya ọrụ ilekọta ọnụ ụzọ obodo ahụ. Ma ndị si nʼobodo na-enupụta nuturu ya, zọọ ya ụkwụ, zọgbuo ya mgbe ha na-agbapụta. Ọ nwụrụ dịka Ịlaisha onye nke Chineke kwuru mgbe eze bịakwutere ya ụnyaahụ, ijide ya.
18 And it came to pass as the man of God was speaking to the king, saying, Two seahs of barley for a shekel, and a seah of fine flour for a shekel, shall be about this time tomorrow in the gate of Samaria:
Ihe niile mezuru dịka onye nke Chineke gwara eze okwu sị ya, “A ga-ere akpa nta ọka balị abụọ otu shekel na otu akpa nta ụtụ ọka otu shekel, nʼọnụ ụzọ ama Sameria.”
19 That the Lord had answered the man of God, and said, Now, behold, if even the Lord were to make windows in the heavens, would such a thing be? And he had said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thy eyes, but thereof shalt thou not eat.
Nʼoge ahụ, ọchịagha ahụ na-ejere eze ozi zara sị ya, “Ihe dị otu a agaghị eme, ọ bụladị na Onyenwe anyị emeghee eluigwe mee ka nri zoo, nke a ọ ga-eme?” Ma onye nke Chineke zara ya, “Ị ga-eji anya gị hụ ya, ma ị gaghị eso rie ya.”
20 And it happened unto him so; for the people trod him down in the gate, and he died.
Ọ bụkwa otu a ka o si mee, nʼihi na ndị mmadụ zọgburu ya nʼụkwụ nʼọnụ ụzọ ama, ebe ọ nọ nwụọ.
