2 Kings 4
1 One day the widow of one of [Yahweh’s] prophets came to Elisha and cried out to him, “My husband, who worked with you, is dead. You know that he revered Yahweh [very much]. But now a man to whom he owed a lot of money has come to me. [And because I cannot pay back the money, he is threatening] to take away my two sons to be his slaves [as payment for what I owe him]!”
Karon miadto ang asawa sa usa sa mga anak sa mga propeta kang Eliseo nga naghilak, nga miingon, “Ang imong sulugoon nga mao ang akong bana patay na, ug nasayod ka nga adunay kahadlok ang imong sulugoon ngadto kang Yahweh. Karon miabot ang maniningil aron kuhaon ang akong duha ka anak aron mahimo niyang mga ulipon.”
2 Elisha replied, “What can I do to help you? Tell me, what do you have in your house?” She replied, “We have only a container of [olive] oil; we have nothing else.”
Busa miingon si Eliseo kaniya, “Unsa man ang akong mabuhat alang kanimo? Sultihi ako kung unsa ang anaa sa imong balay?” Miingon siya, “Walay gipanag-iyahan ang imong sulugoon didto sa balay, gawas sa usa ka kolon nga lana.”
3 Elisha said, “Go to your neighbors and borrow from them as many empty jars as you can.
Unya miingon si Eliseo, “Gawas ug panghulam ug mga banga sa imong mga silingan, mga banga nga walay sulod. Panghulam ug daghan kung mahimo.
4 Then take the jars into your house with your sons. Shut the door. Then pour olive oil from your container into the other jars. When each jar is full, set it aside [and fill another jar. Keep doing that until all the jars are full].”
Unya kinahanglan nga mosulod ka ug sirad-i ang pultahan ikaw ug ang imong mga anak nga lalaki, ug ibubo ang lana ngadto sa tanang mga banga; ipadaplin ang mga banga nga napuno na.”
5 [So she did what Elisha told her to do]. Her sons kept bringing jars to her, and she kept filling them.
Busa gibiyaan niya si Eliseo ug gisirad-an niya ug sa iyang mga anak nga lalaki ang pultahan. Gidala nila ngadto kaniya ang mga banga, ug gipuno niya kini ug lana.
6 Soon all the jars were full. So she said to one of her sons, “Bring me another jar!” But he replied, “There are no more jars!” And then the olive oil stopped flowing.
Sa dihang napuno na ang mga sudlanan, miingon siya sa iyang anak nga lalaki, “Hatagi ako ug lain pang banga.” Apan miingon siya kaniya, “Wala nay mga banga.” Unya mihunong ug dagayday ang lana.
7 When she told Elijah [what had happened], he said to her, “Now sell the jars of oil. And [with the money you get, ] pay what you owe, and there will be enough extra money to keep buying food for yourself and your sons.” [So she did that].
Unya milakaw siya ug gisultihan ang tawo sa Dios. Miingon siya, “Lakaw, ibaligya ang lana; bayari ang imong utang, ug pagkinabuhi uban sa imong mga anak pinaagi sa nahibilin.”
8 One day Elisha went to Shunem [town]. There was a wealthy woman who lived there [with her husband]. One day she invited Elisha to her house for a meal. [Elisha went there and] from then on, every time Elisha was in Shunem, he went to their house to eat a meal.
Usa ka adlaw, naglakaw si Eliseo didto sa Shunem diin nagpuyo ang mahinungdanong babaye; giawhag niya siya nga mokaon uban kaniya. Busa sa dihang moagi si Eliseo, mohapit siya didto aron mokaon.
9 One day the woman said to her husband, “I am sure that this man who often comes here is a prophet [who brings messages] from God.
Miingon ang babaye ngadto sa iyang bana, “Tan-awa, naamgohan ko karon nga kini usa ka balaan nga tawo sa Dios nga kanunay nga nagaagi.
10 I think we should make a small room for him on our [flat] roof, and put a bed, a table, a chair, and a lamp in it. If we do that, whenever he comes here, he will have a place to stay.” [So they did that].
Magbuhat kita ug gamay nga lawak didto sa atop alang kang Eliseo, ug magbutang kita didto ug higdaanan, usa ka lamesa, usa ka lingkoranan, ug usa ka lampara. Busa kung moanhi siya kanato, makapuyo siya didto.”
11 One day Elisha returned to Shunem, and he went up to that room to rest.
Busa sa dihang miabot na usab ang panahon nga mihapit si Eliseo didto, mipuyo siya sa maong lawak ug mipahulay didto.
12 He said to his servant Gehazi, “Tell the woman that I want to speak to her.” [So the servant went and told her]. When she came [to the doorway of Elisha’s room],
Miingon si Eliseo sa iyang sulugoon nga si Gehazi, “Tawga kining taga-Shunem.” Sa dihang gitawag niya siya, nagtindog siya atubang kaniya.
13 Elisha said to Gehazi, “Tell her that we both appreciate all the kind things that she has done for us. Then ask her what we can do for her. Ask, ‘Do you want [me to go to] the king or the army commander, to request something for you?’” [Gehazi told her, ] and she replied, “No, [he does not need to do that, because] my family/relatives are able to give me what I need.”
Miingon si Eliseo kaniya, “Ingna siya, 'Nakasinati ka niining tanan nga kahasol aron sa pag-atiman kanamo. Unsa man ang angay buhaton alang kanimo? Mahimo ba nga makigsulti kami ngadto sa hari alang kanimo o ngadto sa pangulo sa kasundalohan?'” Mitubag siya, “Nagpuyo ako uban sa akong kaugalingong katawhan.”
14 [Later, ] Elisha asked Gehazi, “What do you think that we can do for that woman?” He replied, “She does not have a son, and her husband is an old man. [So maybe we should ask Yahweh to enable her to have a son].”
Busa miingon si Eliseo, “Unya unsa man ang atong mabuhat alang kaniya?” Mitubag si Gehazi, “Sa pagkatinuod, wala siyay anak nga lalaki, ug tigulang na ang iyang bana.”
15 Elisha told Gehazi, “Call her back again.” [So Gehazi went and called her]. And when the woman returned, as she stood in the doorway,
Busa mitubag si Eliseo, “Tawga siya.” Sa dihang gitawag niya siya, mitindog siya sa pultahan.
16 Elisha said to her, “About this time next year you will be holding your [infant] son in your arms.” But she protested, “O, sir, you are a prophet [who brings messages] from God, so please do not deceive/lie to me by saying things like that!”
Miingon si Eliseo, “Niining panahona sa tuig, sa sunod tuig, makabaton ka ug anak nga lalaki.” Miingon siya, “Ayaw, agalon ko ug tawo sa Dios, ayaw pamakak sa imong sulugoon.”
17 But a few months later, the woman became pregnant, and she gave birth to a son at that time the following year, just like Elisha had predicted.
Apan nagmabdos ang babaye ug naghimugso ug anak nga lalaki pagkasunod tuig sa samang panahon, sumala sa gisulti ni Eliseo kaniya.
18 When the child was older, one day he went out to the fields to see his father, who was [working] with the men who were harvesting [grain].
Sa dihang midako na ang bata, usa ka adlaw niana miadto siya sa iyang amahan, nga uban sa mga mangangani.
19 [Suddenly] the boy exclaimed, “My head [hurts]! My head [hurts a lot]!” His father said to one of the servants, “Carry him home to his mother!”
Miingon siya sa iyang amahan, “Ang akong ulo, ang akong ulo.” Miingon ang iyang amahan ngadto sa iyang sulugoon, “Dad-a siya ngadto sa iyang inahan.”
20 So the servant carried him home, and his mother held him on her lap. But at noontime the boy died.
Sa dihang gikuha siya sa sulugoon ug gidala ang batang lalaki ngadto sa iyang inahan, milingkod ang bata ngadto sa iyang mga tuhod hangtod nag-udto ug unya namatay.
21 She carried him up [the steps] to the prophet’s room and laid him on the bed. She left him there and went out and shut the door.
Busa mibangon ang babaye ug gipahigda ang bata sa higdaanan sa tawo sa Dios, gisirad-an ang pultahan, ug migawas.
22 She then called out to her husband, saying, “Send to me one of the servants and a donkey, so that I can ride [on it] quickly to the prophet, and then come back!” [But she did not tell her husband that their son had died].
Gitawag niya ang iyang bana, ug miingon, “Palihog padad-i ako ug usa sa mga sulugoon ug usa sa mga asno aron makaadto dayon ako sa tawo sa Dios ug unya mobalik.”
23 Her husband [called out to her and] said, “Why [do you want to go] today? This is not the day when we celebrate the Festival of the New Moon, and it is not a Sabbath day!” But she only replied, “[Just do what I requested and] everything will be all right.”
Miingon ang iyang bana, “Nganong buot man nimo nga moadto kaniya karong adlawa? Dili man bag-o ang bulan karon ni Adlaw nga Igpapahulay.” Mitubag siya, “Mahimo lamang kini.”
24 So she [told the servant to] put saddles on [two] donkeys, and as they left, she said, “Hurry! Do not slow down unless t tell you to do that!”
Unya gihapinan niya ang asno ug miingon siya sa iyang sulugoon, “Pagdali ug maneho; ayaw pagpahinay ug padagan alang kanako gawas kung moingon ako.”
25 As they approached Carmel Mountain, where Elisha was, Elisha saw her in the distance. He said to Gehazi, “Look, the woman from Shunem is coming!
Busa milakaw siya ug miabot ngadto sa tawo sa Dios didto sa Bukid sa Carmel. Busa sa dihang nakita siya sa tawo sa Dios sa layo pa siya, miingon siya sa iyang sulugoon nga si Gehazi, “Tan-awa, ania ang babaye nga taga-Shunem.
26 Run to her, and ask her if everything is all right with her and her husband and with her child!” [So Gehazi ran to her and asked her, but she did not tell Gehazi anything.] She only said, “Yes, everything is fine.”
Palihog dagan aron sa pagtagbo kaniya ug ingna siya, “Maayo ba ang tanan diha kanimo ug sa imong bana ug sa bata?'” Mitubag siya, “Maayo lamang.”
27 But when she came to where Elisha was, she [prostrated herself on the ground in front of Elisha and] took hold of his feet. Gehazi started to push her away, but Elisha said, “(Do not push her away/Leave her alone)! Something is troubling her very much, but Yahweh has not told me what it is.”
Sa dihang nakaabot siya ngadto sa tawo sa Dios didto sa bukid, gikuptan niya pag-ayo ang tiil niya. Miduol si Gehazi aron birahon siya palayo apan miingon ang tawo sa Dios, “Pasagdi siya, kay nasubo siya pag-ayo, ug gitago ni Yahweh ang suliran gikan kanako, ug wala ako gisultihan.”
28 Then she said to Elisha, “O, sir, I did not ask you to enable me to give birth to a son [RHQ]. And I told you not to lie to me about that!” [RHQ]
Unya miingon siya, “Nangayo ba diay ako ug anak nga lalaki, akong agalon? Dili ba miingon man ako nga, 'Ayaw akog ilara'?”
29 Then Elisha [realized that something must have happened to her son. So he] said to Gehazi, “Get ready [to leave immediately]. Take my staff/walking stick and go [to her home]. Do not [stop to] talk to anyone on the way. Go quickly [to where her son is] and lay the staff on the child’s face. [If you do that, perhaps Yahweh will enable him to be well].”
Unya miingon si Eliseo kang Gehazi, “Pag-ilis alang sa panaw ug dad-a ang akong sungkod. Adto sa iyang balay. Kung makasugat ka ug bisan kinsang tawo, ayaw siyag tagda, ug kung adunay motagad kanimo, ayaw siyag tubaga. Ibutang ang akong sungkod ngadto sa dagway sa bata.”
30 But the boy’s mother said, “Just [as certain] as Yahweh lives and you live, I will not go home if you do not go with me.” So Elisha returned with her [to her home].
Apan miingon ang inahan sa bata, “Ingon nga buhi si Yahweh, ug ingon nga buhi ka, dili ako mobiya kanimo.” Busa mibangon si Eliseo ug misunod kaniya.
31 Gehazi hurried quickly, and [when he got to the woman’s home, ] he laid the staff/walking stick on the child’s face, but the child did not move or say anything. So Gehazi returned to meet Elisha [along the road], and told him, “The child is still dead.”
Nagdali nga nag-una si Gehazi ug gibutang ang sungkod ngadto sa dagway sa bata, apan wala misulti o nakadungog ang bata. Busa mibalik si Gehazi aron sa pagtagbo kang Eliseo ug misugilon kaniya nga nag-ingon, “Wala mimata ang bata.”
32 When Elisha reached the house, he saw that the boy was lying dead on his bed.
Sa dihang nakaabot na si Eliseo sa balay, patay na ang bata ug anaa sa higdaanan.
33 Elisha went into the room by himself and shut the door and prayed to Yahweh.
Busa misulod si Eliseo ug gisirad-an ang pultahan ug anaa ang bata didto ug nag-ampo siya ngadto kang Yahweh.
34 Then he lay down on the boy’s body, and put his mouth on the boy’s mouth, and put his eyes on the boy’s eyes, and put his hands on the boy’s hands. Then the boy’s body started to become warm!
Mipatong siya sa bata ug mipahiluna ibabaw sa bata; gipahimutang niya ang iyang baba ngadto sa iyang baba, ug ang iyang mga mata ngadto sa iyang mga mata, ug ang iyang mga kamot ngadto sa iyang mga kamot. Gihap-an niya ang batang lalaki, ug miinit ang lawas sa batang lalaki.
35 Elisha got up and walked back and forth in the room [several times]. Then he stretched his body on the boy’s body again. The boy sneezed seven times and opened his eyes!
Unya mibangon si Eliseo ug milakaw libot sa lawak ug mipatong na usab ug midupa ngadto sa bata. Mihatsing ang bata sa makapito ug unya gibuka ang iyang mga mata!
36 Then Elisha summoned Gehazi. He said, “Call the boy’s mother!” [So Gehazi went and called her, ] and when she came in, Elisha said, “Here, take your son!”
Busa gitawag ni Eliseo si Gehazi ug miingon, “Tawga ang taga-Shunem!” Busa gitawag niya siya, ug sa dihang miabot siya sa lawak, miingon si Eliseo, “Kuhaa ang imong anak.”
37 She [gratefully] prostrated herself at Elisha’s feet. Then she picked up her son and carried him downstairs.
Unya mihapa siya sa yuta dapit sa iyang tiil ug miyukbo, ug unya gikuha ang iyang anak nga lalaki ug migawas.
38 Then Elisha returned to Gilgal. But at that time there was (a famine/very little food) in that area. One day as the group of prophets was sitting in front of Elisha [listening to what he was teaching], he said to his servant, “Put a large pot on [the stove] and make some stew for these men.”
Unya miadto pag-usab si Eliseo sa Gilgal. Adunay kagutom sa yuta, ug naglingkod ang mga anak sa mga propeta atubang kaniya. Miingon siya sa iyang sulugoon, “Pagtak-ang ug dako nga kolon ngadto sa kalayo ug pagsabaw alang sa mga anak sa mga propeta.”
39 One of the prophets went out to the fields to gather some vegetables. But he gathered [only] some wild gourds and put them in his cloak and brought them back. He shredded them and put them in the pot, but he did not know that the gourds were poisonous.
Migawas ang usa kanila aron sa pagkuha ug mga utanon. Nakakaplag siya ug ihalas nga bagon ug mikuha ug igong ihalas nga mga tanom nga mokatay aron mopuno sa pilo sa iyang kupo. Gihiwa nila kini ug gibutang sa sabaw, apan wala sila nasayod kung unsa kini nga matang.
40 He served the stew to the prophets, but after the men had eaten only a couple bites, they cried out, “Elisha, there is something in the pot that will kill us!” So they would not eat it.
Busa gibubo nila ang sabaw alang sa mga tawo aron makakaon. Pagkataodtaod, samtang nangaon sila, misinggit sila ug miingon, “Tawo sa Dios, adunay makamatay sa sulod sa kolon!” Busa dili na nila kini makaon.
41 Elisha said, “Bring me some flour.” [They brought him some, and] he threw it in the pot and he said, “It is all right now. You can eat it.” And they ate it, and it did not harm them.
Apan miingon si Eliseo, “Dad-i ako ug pipila ka harina.” Gibubo niya kini ngadto sa kolon ug miingon, “Ibubo kini alang sa mga tawo, aron makakaon sila.” Unya nawala ang makadaot nga anaa sa kolon.
42 One day a man from Baal-Shalishah [town] brought to Elisha a sack of freshly cut grain and 20 loaves of barley bread, made from the first grain that they harvested [that year]. Elisha said [to his servant], “Give it to the group of prophets, so that they can eat it.”
Adunay tawo gikan sa Baal Shalisa nga miadto sa tawo sa Dios ug nagdala ug 20 ka tinapay nga sebada sulod sa iyang sako gikan sa bag-ong ani, ug bag-o nga mga lugas. Miingon siya, “Ihatag kini sa mga tawo aron makakaon sila.”
43 But his servant exclaimed, “Do you think that we can feed 100 of us prophets with only that much?” [RHQ] But Elisha replied, “Give it to the prophets so that they can eat it, because Yahweh says that there will be plenty for all of them, and there will be some left over!”
Miingon ang iyang sulugoon, “Unsa, ihatag ko ba kini ngadto sa gatosan ka mga tawo?” Apan miingon si Eliseo, “Ihatag kini sa mga tawo, aron makakaon sila, tungod kay miingon si Yahweh, 'Makakaon sila ug aduna pay mahibilin.'”
44 After his servant gave it to the prophets, they ate [all that they wanted], and there was food left over, just as Yahweh had promised.
Busa gihatag kini sa iyang sulugoon ngadto kanila; mikaon sila, ug aduna pay pipila ka salin, sumala sa gisaad sa pulong ni Yahweh.
