2 Kings 4
1 Now a wife from among the wives of the sons of the prophets cried out to Elisha, saying, "Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that your servant feared YHWH, but the creditor has come to take for himself my two children to be his slaves."
Awo olwatuuka ne wabaawo nnamwandu, eyali afumbiddwa omu ku abo abaali mu kibiina kya bannabbi, n’agenda eri Erisa ng’akaaba n’amugamba nti, “Omuddu wo, baze yafa, era omanyi nga omuddu wo yatyanga Mukama. Naye kaakano eyali amubanja azze, ng’ayagala okutwala batabani bange okubafuula abaddu be.”
2 Then Elisha said to her, "What shall I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in the house?" And she said, "Your servant has nothing in the house, except a small jar of oil."
Erisa n’amuddamu nti, “Oyagala nkuyambe ntya? Ntegeeza, olina ki mu nnyumba?” N’amugamba nti, “Omuweereza wo ky’alinawo kyokka mu nnyumba twe tufuta otutono ennyo.”
3 Then he said, "Go, ask for containers from outside, from all your neighbors, empty containers.
Erisa n’amugamba nti, “Genda mu baliraanwa bo bonna obeeyazikeko ebintu ebyereere, nga bingi ddala.
4 Then go in and shut the door behind yourself and your sons and pour into all these containers, and you are to set each one aside when it is full."
Oyingire mu nnyumba yo weggaliremu ggwe ne batabani bo, ottululire amafuta mu bintu ebyo byonna, ng’ekijjula ky’ossa wa bbali.”
5 So she left him and shut the door behind herself and her sons; they kept bringing her containers, and she kept pouring.
Bwe yava waali n’addayo eka ne yeggalira mu nnyumba ye n’abaana be. Ne bamuleetera ebita nga ye bw’attulula.
6 Now it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said to her son, "Bring me another container." But he said to her, "There aren't any more." Then the oil stopped flowing.
Ebintu byonna ebyali awo bwe byajjula, n’agamba omu ku batabani be nti, “Ndeetera ekintu ekirala.” Naye n’amuddamu nti, “Biweddeyo.” Awo amafuta ne gakoma.
7 Then she came and told the man of God, and he said, "Go, sell the oil and pay your debt, and you and your sons can live on the rest."
Amangwago nnamwandu n’addayo ew’omusajja wa Katonda. Omusajja wa Katonda n’amugamba nti, “Genda otunde amafuta ago, osasule amabanja go, ebinaafikkawo bikuliisenga ggwe ne batabani bo.”
8 Now it happened one day that Elisha traveled to Shunem, where there was a prominent woman, who urged him to eat some food. so whenever he passed by, he would stop in there to eat some food.
Awo olwatuuka Erisa n’agenda e Sunemu. Mu Sunemu mwalimu omukazi nnaggagga, eyamwegayirira alye ku mmere ey’omu nnyumba ye. Awo olwatuuka, buli lwe yayitangawo, n’akyamira eyo okulya ku mmere.
9 And she said to her husband, "Look now, I know that this is a holy man of God who often passes by us.
Omukazi n’agamba bba nti, “Laba kimbikkuliddwa nti oyo musajja wa Katonda, atera okuyitira wano.
10 Please, let's make a little room on the wall, and let's set up a bed, a table, a chair, and a lamp for him there, so that whenever he comes to us, he can stay there."
Kale nno katumutegekere ekisenge waggulu, tumuteekereyo ekitanda n’emmeeza, n’entebe, n’ettabaaza by’anaakozesanga ng’azze okutukyalira.”
11 Now it happened one day he came there, and he turned into the upper room and rested.
Lumu, Erisa n’akyalayo, n’agenda mu kisenge kye, n’awummulirako eyo.
12 And he said to Gehazi his servant, "Call this Shunammite." So he called for her and she stood before him.
N’agamba omuweereza we Gekazi nti, “Yita Omusunammu oyo.” N’amuyita, n’ajja n’ayimirira mu maaso ge.
13 And he said to him, "Say now to her, 'Look, you have gone to all this trouble for us. What can I do for you? Can I put in a good word for you to the king, or to the commander of the army?'" She answered, "I have a home among my own people."
Erisa n’agamba Gekazi nti, “Mugambe nti, ‘Otulabiridde bulungi nnyo. Kaakano kiki kyewandyagadde kikukolerwe? Wandyagadde tukwogerere eri Kabaka oba ew’omuduumizi w’eggye ku nsonga yonna?’” N’amuddamu nti, “Mbeera mu bantu bange.”
14 So he said, "What then can I do for her?" And Gehazi replied, "Actually, she has no son, and her husband is old."
Erisa n’abuuza Gekazi nti, “Kiki ekiba kimukolerwa?” Gekazi n’addamu nti, “Laba talina mwana, ate ng’akaddiye.”
15 Then he said, "Call her." And when he had called her, she stood in the doorway.
Erisa n’amugamba nti, “Muyite.” Bwe yamuyita, n’ajja n’ayimirira mu mulyango.
16 And he said, "At this season, when the time comes around, you will be holding a son." And she said, "No, my lord, man of God, do not lie to your servant."
Erisa n’amugamba nti, “Omwaka ogujja, mu biro ng’ebya kaakano oliwambaatira omwana owoobulenzi.” Omukyala n’amuddamu nti, “Nedda mukama wange, tolimba muweereza wo, ayi omusajja wa Katonda.”
17 But the woman conceived, and bore a son at that season, when the time came around, just as Elisha had said to her.
Naye oluvannyuma omukazi n’aba olubuto, era omwaka ogwaddirira mu biro bye bimu, n’azaala omwana wabulenzi, nga Erisa bwe yali amugambye.
18 And the child grew and it happened one day that he went out to his father to the harvest workers.
Omwana n’akula, naye olunaku lumu n’addukira ewa kitaawe eyali mu nnimiro n’abakunguzi.
19 And he said to his father, "My head, my head." And he said to his servant, "Carry him to his mother."
N’amutegeeza nti, “Omutwe gunnuma, omutwe gunnuma!” Kitaawe n’agamba omu ku baddu be nti, “Mutwalire maama we.”
20 And when he had taken him and brought him to his mother, he sat on her lap until noon, and died.
Awo omuddu n’amusitula n’amutwala eri nnyina, omwana n’atuula ku mubiri gwa nnyina okutuusa essaawa ey’omu ttuntu n’oluvannyuma n’afa.
21 Then she went up and put him on the bed of the man of God and shut the door behind him and left.
Nnyina n’asitula omulambo gwe, n’agutwala waggulu n’aguteeka ku kitanda eky’omusajja wa Katonda, n’afuluma, n’aggalawo oluggi.
22 Then she called to her husband and said, "Please send me one of the servants and one of the donkeys, that I may run to the man of God and then return."
N’atumira bba ng’agamba nti, “Mpayo omuddu omu n’endogoyi emu ŋŋende mangu ew’omusajja wa Katonda, nkomewo.”
23 But he said, "Why would you want to see him today? It is not the new moon or Sabbath." And she said, "It's alright."
N’amubuuza nti, “Kiki ekikutwala gy’ali leero? Si lunaku lwa mwezi ogwakaboneka wadde olwa Ssabbiiti.” Omukazi n’amuddamu nti, “Teweeraliikirira, kiri bulungi.”
24 Then she saddled a donkey, and said to her servant, "Lead on; do not slow down for me unless I tell you."
Ne yeebagala endogoyi, n’agamba omuddu we nti, “Ggwe kulemberamu, totta ku bigere wabula nga nkugambye.”
25 So she went and came to the man of God at Mount Carmel. So it happened when the man of God saw her afar off, that he said to Gehazi his servant, "Look, there is the Shunammite.
Ne basitula, n’agenda eri omusajja wa Katonda ku Lusozi Kalumeeri. Omusajja wa Katonda bwe yamuleengera ng’akyali walako, n’agamba omuddu we Gekazi nti, “Laba, Omusunammu wuuli!
26 Please run now to meet her and ask her, 'Is it well with you? Is it well with your husband? Is it well with the child?'" And she answered, "It is well."
Dduka omusisinkane omubuuze nti, ‘Oli bulungi ne balo ali bulungi? Ate omwana?’” Omukazi n’amuddamu nti, “Kiri bulungi.”
27 But when she came to the man of God to the mountain, she grabbed hold of his feet. And Gehazi came near to push her away, but the man of God said, "Leave her alone, for she is in severe anguish, and YHWH has hidden it from me and has not told me."
Bwe yatuuka okumpi n’olusozi awaali omusajja wa Katonda, n’agwa wansi ne yeenyweza ku bigere by’omusajja wa Katonda. Amangwago Gekazi n’ajja ng’ayagala okumugobawo, naye omusajja wa Katonda n’amugamba nti, “Muleke! Kubanga ali mu nnaku nnyingi nnyo, ate nga Mukama tannambikkulira nsonga, wadde okugintegeeza.”
28 Then she said, "Did I ask a son from my lord? Did I not say, 'Do not mislead me?'"
Omukazi n’alyoka ayogerera mu ddoboozi ery’omwanguka nti, “Nakusaba omwana, mukama wange? Saakugamba obutansuubiza ekisukkiridde?”
29 Then he said to Gehazi, "Tuck your cloak into your belt, and take my staff in your hand, and go. If you meet anyone, do not greet him, and if anyone greets you, do not reply. And lay my staff on the face of the child."
Erisa n’agamba Gekazi nti, “Weesibe ekimyu, okwate omuggo gwange otambule mangu nnyo nga bw’osobola. Bw’onoosisinkana omuntu yenna mu kkubo tomulamusa, ate bw’akulamusa tomwanukula. Ddira omuggo gwange ogugalamize ku kyenyi ky’omwana.”
30 But the mother of the child said, "As YHWH lives and as your soul lives, I will not leave you." So he arose and followed her.
Naye nnyina w’omwana n’agamba nti, “Nga Mukama bw’ali omulamu, era nga naawe bw’oli omulamu, sijja kukuleka mabega.” Erisa n’asituka n’amugoberera.
31 Now Gehazi went on ahead of them and placed the staff on the face of the child, but there was no sound or response. Therefore he came back to meet him and told him, saying, "The child did not wake up."
Gekazi ye n’abakulemberamu, n’agenda n’ateeka omuggo ku kyenyi ky’omulenzi, naye ne wataba kanyego newaakubadde okuddamu. Amangwago Gekazi n’addayo n’asisinkana Erisa, n’amutegeeza nti, “Omwana tagolokose.”
32 When Elisha arrived at the house, look, the child was dead, lying on his bed.
Awo Erisa n’atuuka ku nnyumba, n’agenda butereevu mu kisenge gye yasanga omulambo gw’omwana nga gugalamiziddwa ku kitanda kye.
33 So he went in and shut the door on the two of them and prayed to YHWH.
N’ayingira ekisenge, ne yeggalirayo, n’atandika okusaba Mukama.
34 Then he got up and lay on the child, and put his mouth on his mouth, and his eyes on his eyes, and his hands on his hands, and he stretched himself upon him, and the body of the child grew warm.
N’alinnya waggulu ku kitanda n’agalamira ku mulambo, omumwa ku mumwa, amaaso ku maaso, n’emikono ku mikono eby’omulambo. Mu kiseera ekyo ng’akyagugalamiddeko ne gutandika okubuguumirira.
35 Then he returned and walked in the house once back and forth, and went up and stretched himself upon him, and the child sneezed seven times and the child opened his eyes.
Erisa n’ayimuka, n’atambulatambula mu kisenge, n’oluvannyuma n’addamu n’agalamira ku mulambo. Omulenzi n’ayasimula emirundi musanvu, omulenzi n’azibula amaaso ge.
36 Then he called to Gehazi and said, "Call this Shunammite." So he called her. When she had come in to him, he said, "Pick up your son."
Awo Erisa n’ayita Gekazi n’amugamba nti, “Yita Omusunammu oyo.” N’amuyita. Omusunammu bwe yajja n’amugamba nti, “Situla omwana wo.”
37 Then she came in and fell at his feet and bowed herself to the ground. Then she picked up her son and left.
Omukazi n’ayingira, n’avuunama ku bigere bya Erisa, n’asitula omwana we n’afuluma.
38 Now Elisha came again to Gilgal, while there was a famine in the land. And the sons of the prophets were sitting before him, and he said to his servant, "Put on the large pot, and boil stew for the sons of the prophets."
Oluvannyuma, Erisa ng’azeeyo e Girugaali, ate nga mu kiseera kye kimu enjala egudde mu nsi, ekibiina kya bannabbi ne bakuŋŋaanira ewuwe. N’agamba omuweereza we nti, “Abaana ba bannabbi bafumbireyo enva mu ntamu ennene.”
39 Then one of them went out into the field to gather herbs and found a wild vine, and gathered as many of its gourds as his garment would hold, and came and cut them up into the pot of stew, for he was unaware what it was.
Omu ku bo n’alaga mu nnimiro n’anoga amaboga, n’alaba n’omuzabbibu ogw’omu nsiko, n’anoga ku bibala byagwo ebiwera, n’assa mu lugoye lwe. N’addayo n’abisalirasalira mu ntamu ey’enva. Teyamanya nga bye yanoga birimu akabi.
40 So they poured out for the men to eat. Now it happened, as they were eating of the stew, that they cried out, and said, "Man of God, there is death in the pot." And they could not eat it.
Buli muntu ne bamusenera ku nva; naye bwe baaziryako, ne bayogerera waggulu nti, “Omusajja wa Katonda mu ntamu mulimu okufa.” Ne batazirya.
41 But he said, "Bring some flour." And he threw it into the pot and said, "Pour it out for the people, that they may eat." And there was no harm in the pot.
Erisa n’agamba nti, “Mundeetereyo obuwunga.” Ne babumuleetera n’abuteeka mu ntamu y’enva, n’abagamba nti, “Mugabule abantu balye.” Ne wataba kabi mu ntamu y’enva.
42 Now a man from Baal Shalishah came and brought the man of God bread of the first fruits, twenty loaves of barley, and fresh ears of grain in his sack. And he said, "Give to the people, that they may eat."
Waaliwo omusajja eyava e Baalusalisa, n’aleetera omusajja wa Katonda emigaati egya sayiri kumi n’ebiri nga mmere ey’okubibala ebibereberye, ate era n’amuleetera n’ebirimba eby’eŋŋaano embisi. Erisa n’agamba omuweereza we nti, “Bigabire abantu babirye.”
43 But his servant said, "What, should I set this before a hundred men?" So he said, "Give them to the people so that they may eat, for thus says YHWH, 'They will eat, and will have some left over.'"
Omuweereza we n’amuddamu nti, “Bino mbigabula ntya abantu ekikumi?”
44 So he set it before them, and they ate, and had some left over, according to the word of YHWH.
Naye Erisa n’amuddamu nti, “Bigabire abantu babirye, kubanga bw’ati bw’ayogera Mukama nti, ‘Banaalya ne bibalemeranawo.’” N’abibagabula, ne balya, ne bibalemeranawo, ng’ekigambo kya Mukama bwe kyali.
