< 2 Kings 7 >
1 And he said Elisha hear [the] word of Yahweh thus - he says Yahweh about this time - tomorrow a seah of fine flour for a shekel and two seahs barley for a shekel at [the] gate of Samaria.
Dixit autem Eliseus: Audite verbum Domini: Haec dicit Dominus: In tempore hoc cras modius similae uno statere erit, et duo modii hordei statere uno, in porta Samariae.
2 And he answered the officer who [belonged] to the king [who] was leaning on hand his [the] man of God and he said here! Yahweh [is] making windows in the heavens ¿ will it happen the thing this and he said here you [are] about to see with own eyes your and from there not you will eat.
Respondens unus de ducibus, super cuius manum rex incumbebat, homini Dei, ait: Si Dominus fecerit etiam cataractas in caelo, numquid poterit esse quod loqueris? Qui ait: Videbis oculis tuis, et inde non comedes.
3 And four men they were [people] having a skin disease [the] entrance of the gate and they said each to neighbor his why? [are] we sitting here until we have died.
Quattuor ergo viri erant leprosi iuxta introitum portae: qui dixerunt ad invicem: Quid hic esse volumus donec moriamur?
4 If we said we will enter the city and the famine [is] in the city and we will die there and if we sat here and we will die and therefore come so let us fall to [the] camp of Aram if they will let live us we will live and if they will put to death us and we will die.
sive ingredi voluerimus civitatem, fame moriemur: sive manserimus hic, moriendum nobis est: venite ergo, et transfugiamus ad castra Syriae. si pepercerint nobis, vivemus: si autem occidere voluerint, nihilominus moriemur.
5 And they arose at twilight to go to [the] camp of Aram and they came to [the] edge of [the] camp of Aram and there! there not there [was] anyone.
Surrexerunt ergo vesperi, ut venirent ad castra Syriae. Cumque venissent ad principium castrorum Syriae, nullum ibidem repererunt.
6 And [the] Lord he had caused to hear - [the] camp of Aram a sound of chariotry a sound of horse[s] a sound of an army large and they said each to brother his here! he has hired on us [the] king of Israel [the] kings of the Hittites and [the] kings of Egypt to come on us.
Siquidem Dominus sonitum audiri fecerat in castris Syriae, curruum, et equorum, et exercitus plurimi: dixeruntque ad invicem: Ecce mercede conduxit adversum nos rex Israel reges Hethaeorum, et Aegyptiorum, et venerunt super nos.
7 And they arose and they fled at twilight and they abandoned tents their and horses their and donkeys their the camp [was] just as it [was] and they fled to life their.
Surrexerunt ergo, et fugerunt in tenebris, et dereliquerunt tentoria sua, et equos et asinos in castris, fugeruntque animas tantum suas salvare cupientes.
8 And they came the [people] having a skin disease these to [the] edge of the camp and they went into a tent one and they ate and they drank and they carried off from there silver and gold and clothes and they went and they hid [them] and they returned and they went into a tent another and they carried off [things] from there and they went and they hid [them].
Igitur cum venissent leprosi illi ad principium castrorum, ingressi sunt unum tabernaculum, et comederunt et biberunt: tuleruntque inde argentum, et aurum, et vestes, et abierunt, et absconderunt: et rursum reversi sunt ad aliud tabernaculum, et inde similiter auferentes absconderunt.
9 And they said each to neighbor his not right - we [are] doing the day this [is] a day of good news it and we [are] silent and we will delay until [the] light of the morning and it will find us punishment and therefore come so let us go and let us tell [the] household of the king.
Dixeruntque ad invicem: Non recte facimus: haec enim dies boni nuncii est. Si tacuerimus, et noluerimus nunciare usque mane, sceleris arguemur: venite, eamus, et nunciemus in aula regis.
10 And they went and they called out to [the] gatekeeper of the city and they told to them saying we went into [the] camp of Aram and there! there not there [was] anyone and [the] sound of anyone that except the horse[s] tied up and the donkey[s] tied up and tents [are] just as they [were].
Cumque venissent ad portam civitatis, narraverunt eis, dicentes: Ivimus ad castra Syriae, et nullum ibidem reperimus hominem, nisi equos, et asinos alligatos, et fixa tentoria.
11 And he called out the gatekeepers and they told [the] household of the king within.
Ierunt ergo portarii, et nunciaverunt in palatio regis intrinsecus.
12 And he arose the king night and he said to servants his let me tell please to you [that] which they have done to us Aram they know that [are] hungry we and they have gone out from the camp to hide themselves (in open country *Q(K)*) saying that they will come out from the city and we will seize them alive and into the city we will go.
Qui surrexit nocte, et ait ad servos suos: Dico vobis quid fecerint nobis Syri: sciunt quia fame laboramus, et idcirco egressi sunt de castris, et latitant in agris, dicentes: Cum egressi fuerint de civitate, capiemus eos vivos, et tunc civitatem ingredi poterimus.
13 And he answered one from servants his and he said and they may take please five of the horses remaining which they are left in it here they [will be] like all ([the] multitude of *Q(K)*) Israel which they are left in it here they [will be] like all [the] multitude of Israel which they have come to an end and let us send and we may see.
Respondit autem unus servorum eius: Tollamus quinque equos, qui remanserunt in urbe (quia ipsi tantum sunt in universa multitudine Israel, alii enim consumpti sunt) et mittentes, explorare poterimus.
14 And people took two chariot[s] horses and he sent [them] the king after [the] camp of Aram saying go and see.
Adduxerunt ergo duos equos, misitque rex in castra Syrorum, dicens: Ite, et videte.
15 And they went after them to the Jordan and there! all the road [was] full clothes and equipment which they had thrown away Aram (in hurrying of them *Q(K)*) and they returned the messengers and they told to the king.
Qui abierunt post eos usque ad Iordanem: ecce autem omnis via plena erat vestibus, et vasis, quae proiecerant Syri cum turbarentur: reversique nuncii indicaverunt regi.
16 And it went out the people and they plundered [the] camp of Aram and it was a seah of fine flour for a shekel and two seahs barley for a shekel according to [the] word of Yahweh.
Et egressus populus diripuit castra Syriae: factusque est modius similae statere uno, et duo modii hordei statere uno, iuxta verbum Domini.
17 And the king he appointed the officer who [was] leaning on hand his over the gate and they trampled him the people in the gate and he died just as he had spoken [the] man of God who he spoke when came down the king to him.
Porro rex ducem illum, in cuius manu incumbebat, constituit ad portam: quem conculcavit turba in introitu portae, et mortuus est, iuxta quod locutus fuerat vir Dei, quando descenderat rex ad eum.
18 And it was as had spoken [the] man of God to the king saying two seahs barley for a shekel and a seah of fine flour for a shekel it will be about this time tomorrow in [the] gate of Samaria.
Factumque est secundum sermonem viri Dei, quem dixerat regi, quando ait: Duo modii hordei statere uno erunt, et modius similae statere uno, hoc eodem tempore cras in porta Samariae:
19 And he had answered the officer [the] man of God and he said and here! Yahweh [is] making windows in the heavens ¿ will it happen according to the manner this and he said here you [are] about to see with own eyes your and from there not you will eat.
quando responderat dux ille viro Dei, et dixerat: Etiamsi Dominus fecerit cataractas in caelo, numquid poterit fieri quod loqueris? Et dixit ei: Videbis oculis tuis, et inde non comedes.
20 And it happened to him thus and they trampled him the people in the gate and he died.
Evenit ergo ei sicut praedictum fuerat, et conculcavit eum populus in porta, et mortuus est.
