2 Kings 7
1 And Elisha says, “Hear a word of YHWH! Thus said YHWH: About this time tomorrow, a measure of fine flour [is] at a shekel, and two measures of barley at a shekel, in the Gate of Samaria.”
Elisha akiuga atĩrĩ, “Thikĩrĩria kiugo kĩa Jehova. Jehova ekuuga ũũ: Ihinda ta rĩĩrĩ rũciũ-rĩ, kĩbaba kĩmwe kĩa mũtu mũhinyu gĩkeendio cekeri ĩmwe, nacio ibaba igĩrĩ cia cairi ikeendio cekeri ĩmwe hau kĩhingo-inĩ gĩa Samaria.”
2 And the captain whom the king has, by whose hand he has been supported, answers the man of God and says, “Behold, YHWH is making windows in the heavens—will this thing be?” And he says, “Behold, you are seeing it with your eyes, and you do not eat thereof.”
Nake mũnene ũrĩa wateithagia mũthamaki akĩĩra mũndũ wa Ngai atĩrĩ, “O na Jehova angĩhingũra ndirica cia igũrũ-rĩ, ũndũ ũcio wahoteka?” Nake Elisha akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Nĩũkawona na maitho maku, no ndũkaarĩa o na kĩ!”
3 And four men have been leprous at the opening of the gate, and they say to one another, “Why are we sitting here until we have died?
Na rĩrĩ, nĩ kwarĩ na andũ ana maarũarĩte mangũ, maaikaraga itoonyero-inĩ rĩa kĩhingo gĩa itũũra inene. Makĩĩrana atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ gĩgũtũma tũikare haha nginya tũkue?
4 If we have said, We go into the city, then the famine [is] in the city and we have died there; and if we have sat here, then we have died; and now, come and we go down to the camp of Aram; if they keep us alive, we live, and if they put us to death—we have died.”
Tũngiuga atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩtũgũthiĩ thĩinĩ wa itũũra,’ o nakuo kũrĩ na ngʼaragu, na no tũgũkua. Na tũngĩikara haha, no tũgũkua. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio rekei tũthiĩ kũu kambĩ-inĩ ya Asuriata, twĩneane kũrĩĩo. Mangĩtũhonokia, tũgĩtũũre muoyo; mangĩtũũraga, tũgĩkue.”
5 And they rise in the twilight, to go to the camp of Aram, and they come to the extremity of the camp of Aram, and behold, there is not a man there,
Hwaĩ-inĩ gũkĩira magĩũkĩra, magĩthiĩ kambĩ-inĩ ya Asuriata. Nao maakinya nyumĩrĩra ya kambĩ, magĩkora gũtiarĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe kuo,
6 seeing YHWH has caused the camp of Aram to hear a noise of chariot and a noise of horse—a noise of great force, and they say to one another, “Behold, the king of Israel has hired against us the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of Egypt, to come against us.”
nĩgũkorwo Jehova nĩatũmĩte andũ a ita rĩa Asuriata maigue mũkubio wa ngaari cia ita, na wa mbarathi, na wa mbũtũ nene; nĩ ũndũ ũcio makĩĩrana atĩrĩ, “Atĩrĩrĩ, mũthamaki wa Isiraeli nĩakomborete athamaki a Ahiti na a Misiri nĩguo matũtharĩkĩre!”
7 And they rise and flee in the twilight, and forsake their tents, and their horses, and their donkeys—the camp as it [is]—and flee for their life.
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio magĩũkĩra, makĩũra hwaĩ-inĩ na mairia, magĩtiga hema ciao, o na mbarathi, na ndigiri. Magĩtiga kambĩ o ro ũguo yarĩ, na makĩũra nĩguo mahonokie mĩoyo yao.
8 And these lepers come to the extremity of the camp, and come into one tent, and eat, and drink, and lift up silver, and gold, and garments from there, and go and hide; and they turn back and go into another tent, and lift up from there, and go and hide.
Andũ arĩa maarĩ na mangũ magĩkinya nyumĩrĩra ya kambĩ, na magĩtoonya hema-inĩ ĩmwe. Makĩrĩa na makĩnyua, na magĩkuua betha, na thahabu, o na nguo, magĩthiĩ magĩcihitha. Magĩcooka rĩngĩ magĩtoonya hema ĩngĩ, makĩoya indo iria ciarĩ kuo o nacio magĩcihitha.
9 And they say to one another, “We are not doing right this day; it [is] a day of tidings, and we are keeping silent; and we have waited until the morning light, then punishment has found us; and now, come and we go in and declare [it] to the house of the king.”
Magĩcooka makĩĩrana atĩrĩ, “Rĩu tũtireka wega. Mũthenya ũyũ nĩ wa kũheana ũhoro mwega, na ithuĩ no gũkira tũkirĩte naguo. Tũngĩeterera nginya gũkĩe, no tũherithio. Rekei tũthiĩ o ro rĩu, tũkaheane ũhoro ũyũ nyũmba-inĩ ya mũthamaki.”
10 And they come in, and call to the gatekeeper of the city, and declare for themselves, saying, “We have come to the camp of Aram, and behold, there is no man or sound of man there, but the bound horse, and the bound donkey, and tents as they [are].”
Nao magĩthiĩ magĩĩta arangĩri a ihingo cia itũũra, makĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Nĩtũgũthiĩte kambĩ-inĩ ya Asuriata, na gũtirĩ mũndũ ũrĩ kuo, gũtirĩ o na mũgambo wa mũndũ, no mbarathi na ndigiri ciohetwo, nacio hema igatigwo o ro ũrĩa ciatariĩ.”
11 And he calls the gatekeepers, and they declare [it] to the house of the king within.
Nao arangĩri a ihingo makĩanĩrĩra ũhoro ũcio, naguo ũgĩkinyĩra nyũmba ya mũthamaki.
12 And the king rises by night and says to his servants, “Now let me declare to you that which the Arameans have done to us; they have known that we are famished, and they go out from the camp to be hidden in the field, saying, When they come out from the city, then we catch them alive, and we enter into the city.”
Nake mũthamaki agĩũkĩra ũtukũ, na akĩĩra anene ake atĩrĩ, “Nĩngũmwĩra ũrĩa Asuriata matwĩkĩte. Nĩmamenyete tũrĩ na ngʼaragu, nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩkĩo matigĩte kambĩ, makeehitha kũu gĩthaka-inĩ, magĩĩciiria atĩrĩ, ‘Ti-itherũ nĩmekuuma itũũra-inĩ na hĩndĩ ĩyo tũmanyiite mĩgwate marĩ muoyo na tũtoonye itũũra-inĩ inene.’”
13 And one of his servants answers and says, “Then please let them take five of the horses that are left, that have been left in it—behold, they [are] as all the multitude of Israel who have been left in it; behold, they are as all the multitude of Israel who have been consumed—and we send and see.”
Nake ũmwe wa anene ake agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Tũma andũ amwe mathiĩ na mbarathi ithano iria itigaire itũũra-inĩ. Ũhoro wao githĩ ndũgũkĩhaana o ta wa Isiraeli othe arĩa marĩ gũkũ thĩinĩ. Ĩĩ-ni, megũkorwo mahaana o ta Isiraeli aya othe makiriĩ gũthira. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio reke tũmatũme magatuĩrie ũrĩa kũhaana.”
14 And they take two chariot-horses, and the king sends [them] after the camp of Aram, saying, “Go, and see.”
Nĩ ũndũ ũcio magĩthuura ngaari igĩrĩ cia ita na mbarathi ciacio, nake mũthamaki akĩmatũma marũmĩrĩre mbũtũ cia ita cia Asuriata. Nake agĩatha atwarithia akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Thiĩ mũgatuĩrie ũrĩa kũhaana.”
15 And they go after them to the Jordan, and behold, all the way is full of garments and vessels that the Arameans have cast away in their haste, and the messengers return and declare [it] to the king.
Makĩmarũmĩrĩra o nginya Jorodani, magĩkora njĩra ĩiyũrĩte nguo na indo iria Asuriata maatete marĩ ihenya-inĩ makĩũra. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ arĩa maatũmĩtwo makĩhũndũka na magĩcookeria mũthamaki ũhoro ũcio.
16 And the people go out and spoil the camp of Aram, and there is a measure of fine flour at a shekel, and two measures of barley at a shekel, according to the word of YHWH.
Hĩndĩ ĩyo andũ makiumagara, magĩthiĩ na magĩtaha indo kambĩ-inĩ ya Asuriata. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio kĩbaba kĩmwe kĩa mũtu kĩendagio cekeri ĩmwe, na ibaba igĩrĩ cia cairi ciendagio cekeri ĩmwe o ta ũrĩa Jehova oigĩte.
17 And the king has appointed the captain, by whose hand he is supported, over the gate, and the people tread him down in the gate, and he dies, as the man of God spoke, which he spoke in the coming down of the king to him,
Na rĩrĩ, mũthamaki aigĩte mũnene ũrĩa wamũteithagia akorwo arĩ mũrũgamĩrĩri wa kĩhingo, nao andũ makĩmũrangĩrĩria hau kĩhingo-inĩ, agĩkua, o ta ũrĩa mũndũ wa Ngai oigĩte rĩrĩa mũthamaki aathiĩte gwake mũciĩ.
18 indeed, it comes to pass, according to the speaking of the man of God to the king, saying, “Two measures of barley at a shekel, and a measure of fine flour at a shekel are, at this time tomorrow, in the Gate of Samaria”;
Ũndũ ũcio wekĩkire o ta ũrĩa mũndũ wa Ngai eerĩte mũthamaki: “Ihinda o ta rĩĩrĩ rũciũ, kĩbaba kĩmwe kĩa mũtu gĩkeendio cekeri ĩmwe, nacio ibaba igĩrĩ cia cairi ikeendio cekeri ĩmwe kĩhingo-inĩ gĩa Samaria.”
19 and the captain answers the man of God and says, “And behold, YHWH is making windows in the heavens—will this thing be?” And he says, “Behold, you are seeing it with your eyes, and you do not eat thereof”;
Mũnene ũcio eerĩte mũndũ wa Ngai atĩrĩ, “O na Jehova angĩhingũra ndirica cia igũrũ-rĩ, ũndũ ũcio wahoteka?” Nake mũndũ wa Ngai aamũcookeirie atĩrĩ, “Nĩũkawona na maitho maku, no ndũkaarĩa o na kĩ!”
20 and it comes to him so, and the people tread him down in the gate, and he dies.
Ũguo noguo gwekĩkire kũrĩ mũnene ũcio, nĩgũkorwo andũ maamũrangĩrĩirie hau kĩhingo-inĩ, agĩkua.
