< 2 Kings 7 >
1 Elisha said, "Hear the word of Jehovah. Thus says Jehovah, 'Tomorrow about this time a measure of fine flour will be sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, in the gate of Samaria.'"
Elisha nowacho niya, “Winjuru wach ma Jehova Nyasaye. Ma e gima Jehova Nyasaye wacho: Kiny kar sa maka ma, nengo gorogoro achiel mar mogo ibiro ngʼiewo silingʼ achiel, kendo gorogoro ariyo mar mogo mar shairi bende nongʼiew silingʼ ariyo e dhoranga Samaria.”
2 Then the captain on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God, and said, "Look, if Jehovah made windows in heaven, could this thing be?" He said, "Look, you shall see it with your eyes, but shall not eat of it."
Jatelo ma ruoth ne yiengore e goke nowachone ngʼat Nyasaye niya, “Winji, kata ka Jehova Nyasaye nyalo yawo dhorangeye mag polo, bende manyalo timore adier?” Elisha nodwoke niya, “Ibiro neno ma gi wengeni iwuon, to ok inicham gimoro amora kuomgi!”
3 Now there were four leprous men at the entrance of the gate. And they said to one another, "Why do we sit here until we die?
Koro ne nitie ji angʼwen ma jodhoho, mane bet e dhoranga dala maduongʼ. Negiwacho e kindgi giwegi niya, “Angʼo momiyo dwabed ka nyaka watho?
4 If we say, 'We will enter into the city,' then the famine is in the city, and we shall die there. If we sit still here, we also die. Now therefore come, and let us surrender to the army of the Arameans. If they save us alive, we will live; and if they kill us, we will only die."
Ka wawacho ni wabiro dhi e dala maduongʼ, to kech ni kuno kendo wabiro tho. To bende ka wabet ka, pod wabiro mana tho. Kuom mano wadhiuru e kambi jo-Aram mondo wachiwre e lwetgi. Ka giweyowa to wanabed mangima, to ka ginegowa to wanatho.”
5 They rose up in the twilight, to go to the camp of the Arameans. When they had come to the outermost part of the camp of the Arameans, look, there was no man there.
Kar kogwen negiwuok ma gidhi e kambi jo-Aram. Kane gichopo e dho kambi, kata mana ngʼat achiel ne onge kanyo,
6 For Jehovah had made the army of the Arameans to hear a noise of chariots, and a noise of horses, even the noise of a great army: and they said one to another, Look, the king of Israel has hired against us the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of the Egyptians, to come on us.
nikech Ruoth Nyasaye nosekelo luoro e chuny jo-Aram ma giwinjo geche, farese kod jolweny mangʼeny, mani nomiyo giwacho e kindgi giwegi niya, “Neyeuru kaka ruodh Israel osengʼiewo pinje mag jo-Hiti gi ruodhi mag Misri mondo omonjwa!”
7 Therefore they arose and fled in the twilight, and left their tents, and their horses, and their donkeys, even the camp as it was, and fled for their life.
Kuom mano negia malo kar kogwen ma giringo ka giweyo hembegi, farese kod punde. Negiweyo kambigi gi mwandu duto mondo gitony gires ngimagi.
8 When these lepers came to the outermost part of the camp, they went into one tent, and ate and drink, and carried there silver, and gold, and clothing, and went and hid it. Then they came back, and entered into another tent, and carried there also, and went and hid it.
Jodhohogo nodhi nyaka dho kambi ma gidonjo e achiel kuom hembego. Negichamo chiemo kendo gimetho bangʼe gitingʼo fedha, dhahabu kod lewni mine gidhi gipandogi. Negidwogo kendo mi gidonjo e hema machielo, ma gikawo gik moko kanyo kendo gidok gipando.
9 Then they said one to another, "We aren't doing right. This day is a day of good news, and we keep silent. If we wait until the morning light, punishment will overtake us. Now therefore come, let us go and tell the king's household."
Eka negiwacho kendgi giwegi niya, “Ok watim gima kare. Ma en odiechiengʼ mar wach maber, to eka walingʼ-go mana kendwa. Ka warito ma piny oyawore, to wabiro yudo kum. Kuom mano wadhiuru sani sani mondo water wachni ni joka ruoth.”
10 So they came and called to the gatekeepers of the city; and they told them, saying, "We came to the camp of the Arameans, and, look, there was no man there, neither voice of man, but the horses tied, and the donkeys tied, and the tents as they were."
Omiyo negidhi magiluongo jorit rangeye mag dala maduongʼ kendo giwachonegi niya, “Ne wadhi e kambi jo-Aram to ok wayudo kata ngʼato achiel kata dwond ngʼato ne ok wawinjo to mana farese motwe gi punde kod hembe mowe mana kaka ne gin.”
11 The gatekeepers called out, and it was reported to the king's household within.
Jorit rangeye nogoyo koko kowinjo wach maberno mi wachno notundo ne joka ruoth.
12 The king arose in the night, and said to his servants, "I will now show you what the Arameans have done to us. They know that we are hungry. Therefore are they gone out of the camp to hide themselves in the field, saying, 'When they come out of the city, we shall take them alive, and get into the city.'"
Ruoth nochungʼ malo otienono mowachone jodonge niya “Abiro nyisou gima jo-Aram osetimonwa. Gingʼeyo ni kech omakowa, omiyo giringo gia e kambigi ka gidhi pondo e bungu, ka giparo ni, ‘Jogi biro wuok oko kendo wabiro dhi ma wakawgi duto ka gingima miwadonji e dala maduongʼ.’”
13 And one of his servants answered, "Please let some take five of the horses that remain, which are left in the city. Look, they are like the whole multitude of Israel who have already perished. Let us send and see."
Achiel kuom jodonge nodwoko niya, “Yier jomoko odhi e dala maduongʼ mondo okaw farese abich modongʼ kanyo. Ngima joidh faresego biro chalo mana gi ngima jo-Israel mowe ka; adier, gibiro chalo mana gi jo-Israel ma kech kayogi. Kuom mano waorgi mondo gidhi ginon gima timore.”
14 They took therefore two chariots with horses; and the king sent after the army of the Arameans, saying, "Go and see."
Eka ne giyiero geche lweny ariyo gi faresegi kendo ruoth noorogi luwo bangʼ jolweny mag Aram. Nowachone joriemb gechego niya, “Dhiuru mondo unon-ane gima osetimore.”
15 They went after them to the Jordan; and look, all the way was full of garments and vessels, which the Arameans had cast away in their haste. The messengers returned, and told the king.
Negiluwo bangʼ-gi nyaka aora Jordan mine giyudo ka yo opongʼ gi lewni kod gik moko mane lwar ka jo-Aram ringo ka kihondko ogoyogi. Bangʼ mano jootego noduogo monyiso ruoth gima gisetimo.
16 The people went out, and plundered the camp of the Arameans. So a measure of fine flour was sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, according to the word of Jehovah.
Eka ji nowuok modhi oyako kambi jo-Aram. Kuom mano nengo gorogoro achiel mar mogo ne en silingʼ achiel to mogo mar shairi gorogoro ariyo nongʼiew silingʼ achiel mana kaka Jehova Nyasaye nosewacho.
17 The king appointed the captain on whose hand he leaned to be in charge of the gate: and the people trod on him in the gate, and he died as the man of God had said, who spoke when the king came down to him.
Ruoth noketo jatend lweny mane oyiengore goke cha mondo orit dhorangach, to ji nonyone ka gimwomore e dhorangach motho mana kaka ngʼat Nyasaye ne osekoro e kinde mane ruoth obiro neno janabino e ode.
18 It happened, as the man of God had spoken to the king, saying, "Two measures of barley for a shekel, and a measure of fine flour for a shekel, shall be tomorrow about this time in the gate of Samaria";
Notimore mana kaka ngʼat Nyasaye ne osewacho ni ruoth niya, “Kiny e sa maka ma, nengo mar mogo gorogoro achiel nongʼiew silingʼ achiel to mogo mar shairi gorogoro ariyo nongʼiew silingʼ achiel e dhoranga Samaria.”
19 and that captain answered the man of God, and said, "Now, look, if Jehovah should make windows in heaven, might such a thing be?" and he said, "Look, you shall see it with your eyes, but shall not eat of it."
To jateloni nowachone ngʼat Nyasaye niya, “Winji, kata ka Jehova Nyasaye nyalo yawo dhorangeye mag polo, bende manyalo timore adier?” Ngʼat Nyasaye nodwoke niya, “Ibiro nene gi wangʼi, to ok inicham gimoro amora kuome!”
20 It happened like that to him; for the people trod on him in the gate, and he died.
Kendo mano e gima ne otimorene, nimar ji nomwomore gie dhorangach monyone mi otho.
