< 2 Kings 6 >
1 The sons of the prophets said to Elisha, "See now, the place where we dwell before you is too small for us.
Àwọn ọmọ wòlíì sọ fún Eliṣa pé, “Wò ó, ní ibi tí a ti pàdé pẹ̀lú rẹ, ó kéré fún wa.
2 Please let us go to the Jordan, and every man take a beam from there, and let us make us a place there, where we may dwell." He answered, "Go."
Jẹ́ kí àwa kí ó lọ sí Jordani, ní ibi tí ẹnìkọ̀ọ̀kan ti le rí ọ̀pá kan, jẹ́ kí àwa kí ó kọ́lé síbẹ̀ fún wa láti gbé.” Ó sì wí pé, “Lọ.”
3 One said, "Please be pleased to go with your servants." He answered, "I will go."
Nígbà náà ni ọ̀kan lára wọn wí pé, “Kí ó wù ọ́, èmí bẹ̀ ọ́, láti bá àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ lọ?” Eliṣa dá a lóhùn pé, “Èmi yóò lọ,”
4 So he went with them. When they came to the Jordan, they cut down wood.
Ó sì lọ pẹ̀lú wọn. Wọ́n sì lọ sí Jordani wọ́n sì bẹ̀rẹ̀ sí ní gé igi.
5 But as one was felling a beam, the axe head fell into the water. Then he cried, and said, "Alas, my master. For it was borrowed."
Bí ọ̀kan ṣe gé igi náà, àáké irin náà bọ́ sínú omi, ó kígbe sókè pé, “O! Olúwa mi, mo yá a ni!”
6 The man of God asked, "Where did it fall?" He showed him the place. He cut down a stick, threw it in there, and made the iron float.
Ènìyàn Ọlọ́run sì béèrè pé, “Níbo ni ó bọ́ sí?” Nígbà tí ó fi ibẹ̀ hàn án, Eliṣa gé igi kan ó sì jù ú síbẹ̀, ó sì mú irin náà fò lójú omi.
7 He said, "Take it." So he put out his hand and took it.
Ó wí pé, “Gbé e jáde.” Lẹ́yìn náà ọkùnrin náà na ọwọ́ rẹ̀ jáde ó sì mú un.
8 Now the king of Aram was warring against Israel; and he took counsel with his servants, saying, "My camp will be in such and such a place."
Nísinsin yìí ọba Aramu wà ní ogun pẹ̀lú Israẹli ó sì bá àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ gbèrò, ó wí pé, “Èmi yóò ṣe ibùdó mi sí ibí yìí nínú èyí náà àti bí ibí yìí.”
9 The man of God sent to the king of Israel, saying, "Beware that you not pass such a place; for the Arameans are coming down there."
Ènìyàn Ọlọ́run rán iṣẹ́ sí ọba Israẹli pé, “Kíyèsi ara láti kọjá ní ibẹ̀ yẹn, nítorí pé ará Aramu wọ́n sọ̀kalẹ̀ lọ síbẹ̀.”
10 The king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God told him and warned him of; and he saved himself there, not once nor twice.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ọba Israẹli wo ibi tí ènìyàn Ọlọ́run náà fihàn, ní ẹ̀ẹ̀kan sí i Eliṣa kìlọ̀ fún ọba, bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ó wà lórí sísọ ní ibẹ̀.
11 The heart of the king of Aram was very troubled about this. He called his servants, and said to them, "Won't you show me which of us is for the king of Israel?"
Èyí mú ọba Aramu bínú. Ó pe àwọn ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀, ó sì béèrè lọ́wọ́ wọn pé, “Ṣé ìwọ kò ní sọ fún mi èwo nínú wa ni ó wà ní ẹ̀gbẹ́ ọba Israẹli?”
12 One of his servants said, "No, my lord, O king; but Elisha, the prophet who is in Israel, tells the king of Israel the words that you speak in your bedroom."
Ọ̀kan lára ìránṣẹ́ rẹ̀ sì wí pé, “Kò sí ọ̀kan nínú wa, olúwa ọba mi, ṣùgbọ́n Eliṣa, wòlíì tí ó wà ní Israẹli, sọ fún ọba Israẹli ọ̀rọ̀ gangan tí ó sọ nínú yàrá rẹ̀.”
13 He said, "Go and see where he is, that I may send and get him." It was told him, saying, "Look, he is in Dothan."
Ọba pa á láṣẹ, “Lọ, kí ẹ lọ wo ibi tí ó wà, kí èmi kí ó lè rán ènìyàn láti lọ mú un wá.” Ìròyìn padà wá wí pé, “Ó wà ní Dotani.”
14 Therefore he sent horses, chariots, and a great army there. They came by night, and surrounded the city.
Nígbà náà ni ó rán àwọn ẹṣin àti kẹ̀kẹ́ àti ogun ńlá tí ó le síbẹ̀. Wọ́n sì lọ ní alẹ́ wọ́n sì yí ìlú náà ká.
15 When the servant of the man of God had risen early, and gone out, look, an army with horses and chariots was around the city. His servant said to him, "Alas, my master. What shall we do?"
Nígbà tí ìránṣẹ́ ènìyàn Ọlọ́run dìde ó sì jáde lọ ní òwúrọ̀ kùtùkùtù ọjọ́ kejì, ogun pẹ̀lú ẹṣin àti kẹ̀kẹ́ wọn ti yí ìlú náà ká. “Yé è, olúwa mi! Kí ni kí àwa kí ó ṣe?” ìránṣẹ́ náà béèrè.
16 He answered, "Do not be afraid; for those who are with us are more than those who are with them."
“Má ṣe bẹ̀rù,” wòlíì náà dáhùn, “Àwọn tí ó wà pẹ̀lú wa, wọ́n pọ̀ ju àwọn tí ó wà pẹ̀lú wọn lọ.”
17 Then Elisha prayed and said, "Jehovah, please open his eyes, that he may see." Jehovah opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and look, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire around Elisha.
Eliṣa sì gbàdúrà, “Olúwa, la ojú rẹ̀ kí ó ba à lè ríran.” Nígbà náà Olúwa la ojú ìránṣẹ́ náà, ó sì wò, ó sì rí òkè ńlá tí ó kún fún ẹṣin àti kẹ̀kẹ́ iná gbogbo yí Eliṣa ká.
18 When they came down to him, Elisha prayed to Jehovah, and said, "Please strike this people with blindness." He struck them with blindness according to the word of Elisha.
Bí àwọn ọ̀tá ṣe ń sọ̀kalẹ̀ wá níwájú rẹ, Eliṣa gbàdúrà sí Olúwa pé. “Bu ìfọ́jú lu àwọn ènìyàn wọ̀nyí,” Olúwa sì ṣe gẹ́gẹ́ bí Eliṣa ti béèrè.
19 Elisha said to them, "This is not the way, neither is this the city. Follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom you seek." He led them to Samaria.
Eliṣa sọ fún wọn pé, “Èyí kì í ṣe ọ̀nà bẹ́ẹ̀ ni èyí kì í ṣe ìlú náà. Tẹ̀lé mi, èmi yóò mú u yín lọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ ọkùnrin tí ẹ̀yin ń wá.” Ó sì sìn wọ́n lọ sí Samaria.
20 It happened, when they had come into Samaria, that Elisha said, "Jehovah, open the eyes of these men, that they may see." Jehovah opened their eyes, and they saw; and look, they were in the midst of Samaria.
Lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí wọ́n wọ ìlú náà, Eliṣa wí pé, “Olúwa, la ojú àwọn ọkùnrin wọ̀nyí kí wọn kí ó lè ríran.” Nígbà náà Olúwa la ojú wọn, wọ́n sì ríran, wọ́n sì wà níbẹ̀, nínú Samaria.
21 The king of Israel said to Elisha, when he saw them, "My father, shall I strike them? Shall I strike them?"
Nígbà tí ọba Israẹli rí wọn, ó béèrè lọ́wọ́ Eliṣa pé, “Ṣé kí èmi kí ó pa wọ́n, baba mi? Ṣé kí èmi kí ó pa wọ́n?”
22 He answered, "You shall not strike them. Would you strike those whom you have taken captive with your sword and with your bow? Set bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink, and go to their master."
“Má ṣe pa wọ́n,” ó dáhùn. “Ṣé ìwọ yóò pa àwọn ọkùnrin tí ìwọ mú pẹ̀lú idà rẹ tàbí ọrun rẹ? Gbé oúnjẹ àti omi síwájú wọn kí wọn kí ó lè jẹ kí wọn sì mu, nígbà náà kí wọn padà lọ sí ọ̀dọ̀ ọ̀gá wọn.”
23 He prepared great feast for them. When they had eaten and drunk, he sent them away, and they went to their master. The bands of Aram stopped raiding the land of Israel.
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ó pèsè àsè ńlá fún wọn, lẹ́yìn ìgbà tí wọ́n jẹ tí wọ́n mu, ó sì rán wọn lọ, wọ́n sì padà sí ọ̀dọ̀ ọ̀gá wọn. Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni ẹgbẹ́ láti Aramu dáwọ́ ìgbógunti ilẹ̀ Israẹli dúró.
24 It happened after this, that Benhadad king of Aram gathered all his army, and went up and besieged Samaria.
Lẹ́yìn ìgbà díẹ̀, ni Beni-Hadadi ọba Aramu kó gbogbo àwọn ogun rẹ̀ jọ wọ́n sì yan sókè wọ́n sì dúró ti Samaria.
25 There was a great famine in Samaria. Look, they besieged it, until a donkey'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.
Ìyàn ńlá sì mú ní ìlú Samaria; wọ́n dúró tí ì tó bẹ́ẹ̀ tí a fi ń ta orí kẹ́tẹ́kẹ́tẹ́ kan ní ọgọ́rùn-ún ìwọ̀n fàdákà àti ìdámẹ́rin òsùwọ̀n kábù imí ẹyẹlé, fún ìwọ̀n fàdákà márùn-ún.
26 As the king of Israel was passing by on the wall, a woman cried to him, saying, "Help, my lord, O king."
Gẹ́gẹ́ bí ọba Israẹli ti ń kọjá lọ lórí odi, obìnrin kan sọkún sí i pé, “Ràn mí lọ́wọ́, olúwa ọba mi!”
27 He said, "If Jehovah doesn't help you, from where could I help you? From of the threshing floor, or from the winepress?"
Ọba sì dá a lóhùn pé, “Bí Olúwa kò bá gbà ọ́, níbo ni èmi yóò gbé ti gbà ọ́? Láti inú ilẹ̀ ìpakà, tàbí láti inú ibi ìfúntí?”
28 The king said to her, "What ails you?" She answered, "This woman said to me, 'Give your son, that we may eat him today, and we will eat my son tomorrow.'
Nígbà náà ọba béèrè lọ́wọ́ obìnrin náà pé, “Kí ni ó ṣẹlẹ̀?” Obìnrin náà dáhùn pé, “Obìnrin yìí wí fún mi pé, ‘Mú ọmọkùnrin rẹ wá kí àwa kí ó lè jẹ ẹ́ lónìí, ní ọ̀la àwa yóò jẹ ọmọkùnrin tèmi.’
29 So we boiled my son, and ate him: and I said to her on the next day, 'Give your son, that we may eat him;' and she has hidden her son."
Bẹ́ẹ̀ ni a ṣe ọmọkùnrin mi a sì jẹ ẹ́. Ní ọjọ́ kejì mo wí fún un pé, ‘Mú ọmọkùnrin rẹ wá kí àwa kí ó lè jẹ,’ ṣùgbọ́n ó ti gbé e pamọ́.”
30 It happened, when the king heard the words of the woman, that he tore his clothes. Now he was passing by on the wall, and the people looked and saw that he had sackcloth against his skin.
Nígbà tí ọba gbọ́ ọ̀rọ̀ obìnrin náà, ó fa aṣọ rẹ̀ ya. Gẹ́gẹ́ bí ó sì ti ń kọjá lọ sí orí odi, àwọn ènìyàn wò ó níbẹ̀ ní abẹ́, ó ní aṣọ ọ̀fọ̀ ní ara rẹ̀.
31 Then he said, "God do so to me, and more also, if the head of Elisha the son of Shaphat shall stay on him this day."
Ó sì wí pé, “Kí Ọlọ́run kí ó fi ìyà jẹ mí, àti jù bẹ́ẹ̀ lọ dájúdájú, pé orí ọmọkùnrin Eliṣa ọmọ Ṣafati kì ó wà ní ọrùn rẹ̀ ní òní!”
32 But Elisha was sitting in his house, and the elders were sitting with him. Then the king sent a man from before him; but before the messenger came to him, he said to the elders, "Do you see how this son of a murderer has sent to take away my head? Look, when the messenger comes, shut the door, and hold the door shut against him. Isn't the sound of his master's feet behind him?"
Nísinsin yìí Eliṣa jókòó ní ilé rẹ̀ àwọn àgbàgbà náà jókòó pẹ̀lú rẹ̀. Ọba sì rán oníṣẹ́ síwájú rẹ̀, ṣùgbọ́n kí ó tó dé ibẹ̀, Eliṣa sọ fún àwọn àgbàgbà pé, “Ṣé ẹ̀yin kò rí bí apànìyàn ti ń rán ẹnìkan láti gé orí mi kúrò?

33 While he was still talking with them, look, the messenger came down to him. Then he said, "Look, this disaster is from Jehovah. Why should I wait for Jehovah any longer?"
Nígbà tí ó sì ń sọ̀rọ̀ sí wọn, ìránṣẹ́ náà sọ̀kalẹ̀ wá bá a. Ọba náà sì wí pé, “Ibi yìí láti ọ̀dọ̀ Olúwa ni. Kí ni ó dé tí èmi yóò fi dúró de Olúwa sí i?”
