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]!”

Sumigaw nga kay Eliseo ang isang babae na isa sa mga asawa ng mga anak ng mga propeta, na nagsasabi, Ang iyong lingkod na aking asawa ay patay na: at iyong talastas na ang iyong lingkod ay natakot sa Panginoon: at ang pinagkautangan ay naparito upang kuning alipinin niya ang aking dalawang anak.

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.”

At sinabi ni Eliseo sa kaniya, Anong gagawin ko sa iyo? saysayin mo sa akin; anong mayroon ka sa bahay? At sinabi niya, Ang iyong lingkod ay walang anomang bagay sa bahay liban sa isang palyok na langis.

3 Elisha said, “Go to your neighbors and borrow from them as many empty jars as you can.

Nang magkagayo'y sinabi niya, Ikaw ay yumaon, manghiram ka ng mga sisidlan sa labas sa lahat ng iyong mga kapitbahay, sa makatuwid baga'y ng mga walang lamang sisidlan; huwag kang manghiram ng kaunti.

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].”

At ikaw ay papasok, at ikaw at ang iyong mga anak ay magsasara ng pintuan, at iyong ibubuhos ang langis sa lahat ng sisidlang yaon; at iyong itatabi ang mapuno.

5 [So she did what Elisha told her to do]. Her sons kept bringing jars to her, and she kept filling them.

Sa gayo'y nilisan niya siya, at siya at ang kaniyang mga anak ay nagsara ng pintuan; kanilang dinala ang mga sisidlan sa kaniya, at kaniyang pinagbuhusan.

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.

At nangyari, nang mapuno ang mga sisidlan, na kaniyang sinabi sa kaniyang anak, Dalhan mo pa ako ng isang sisidlan. At sinabi niya sa kaniya: Wala pang sisidlan. At ang langis ay tumigil.

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].

Nang magkagayo'y naparoon siya, at kaniyang isinaysay sa lalake ng Dios. At kaniyang sinabi, ikaw ay yumaon, ipagbili mo ang langis, at bayaran mo ang iyong utang, at mabuhay ka at ang iyong mga anak sa nalabi.

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.

At nangyari, isang araw na si Eliseo ay nagdaan sa Sunem, na kinaroroonan ng isang dakilang babae; at pinilit siya niya na kumain ng tinapay. At nagkagayon, na sa tuwing siya'y daraan doon ay lumiliko roon upang kumain ng tinapay.

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.

At sinabi niya sa kaniyang asawa, Narito ngayon, aking nahahalata na ito'y isang banal na lalake ng Dios na nagdadaan sa ating palagi.

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].

Isinasamo ko sa iyo na tayo'y gumawa ng isang maliit na silid sa pader; at ating ipaglagay siya roon ng isang higaan, at ng isang dulang, at ng isang upuan, at ng isang kandelero: at mangyayari, pagka siya'y dumarating sa atin, na siya'y papasok doon.

11 One day Elisha returned to Shunem, and he went up to that room to rest.

At nangyari, isang araw, na siya'y dumating doon, at siya'y lumiko na pumasok sa silid, at nahiga roon.

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],

At sinabi niya kay Giezi na kaniyang lingkod, Tawagin mo ang Sunamitang ito. At nang matawag niya, siya'y tumayo sa harap niya.

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.”

At sinabi niya sa kaniya, Sabihin mo ngayon sa kaniya, Narito, ikaw ay naging maingat sa amin ng buong pagiingat na ito; ano nga ang magagawa sa iyo? ibig mo bang ipakiusap kita sa hari, o sa punong kawal ng hukbo? At siya'y sumagot, Ako'y tumatahan sa gitna ng aking sariling bayan.

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].”

At kaniyang sinabi, Ano nga ang magagawa sa kaniya? At sumagot si Giezi. Katotohanang siya'y walang anak, at ang kaniyang asawa ay matanda na.

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,

At kaniyang sinabi, Tawagin siya. At nang kaniyang tawagin siya, siya'y tumayo sa pintuan.

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!”

At kaniyang sinabi, Sa panahong ito, pagpihit ng panahon, ikaw ang kakalong ng isang anak na lalake. At kaniyang sinabi, Hindi panginoon ko, ikaw na lalake ng Dios huwag kang magsinungaling sa iyong lingkod.

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.

At ang babae ay naglihi, at nanganak ng isang lalake nang panahong yaon, nang ang panahon ay makapihit gaya ng sinabi ni Eliseo sa 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].

At nang lumaki ang bata ay nangyari, isang araw, nang siya'y umalis na patungo sa kaniyang ama, sa mga manggagapas.

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!”

At kaniyang sinabi sa kaniyang ama, Ulo ko, ulo ko. At sinabi niya sa kaniyang bataan, Dalhin mo siya sa kaniyang ina.

20 So the servant carried him home, and his mother held him on her lap. But at noontime the boy died.

At nang kaniyang makuha siya at dalhin siya sa kaniyang ina, siya'y umupo sa kaniyang tuhod hanggang sa katanghaliang tapat, at nang magkagayo'y 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.

At siya'y pumanhik at inihiga siya sa higaan ng lalake ng Dios, at pinagsarhan niya ng pintuan siya, at lumabas.

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].

At kaniyang dinaingan ang kaniyang asawa, at nagsabi, Isinasamo ko sa iyo na iyong suguin sa akin ang isa sa iyong mga bataan, at ang isa sa mga asno, upang aking takbuhin ang lalake ng Dios, at bumalik uli.

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.”

At kaniyang sinabi, Bakit paroroon ka sa kaniya ngayon? hindi bagong buwan o sabbath man. At kaniyang sinabi, Magiging mabuti.

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!”

Nang magkagayo'y siniyahan niya ang isang asno, at nagsabi sa kaniyang bataan, Ikaw ay magpatakbo, at magpatuloy; huwag mong pahinain ang pagpapatakbo sa akin, malibang sabihin ko sa iyo.

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!

Sa gayo'y yumaon siya at naparoon sa lalake ng Dios sa bundok ng Carmelo. At nangyari, nang makita siya ng lalake ng Dios sa malayo, na kaniyang sinabi kay Giezi na kaniyang lingkod, Narito, nandoon ang Sunamita:

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.”

Tumakbo ka, isinasamo ko sa iyo ngayon, na salubungin siya, at iyong sabihin sa kaniya, Mabuti ka ba? mabuti ba ang iyong asawa? mabuti ba ang bata? At siya'y sumagot, Mabuti.

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.”

At nang siya'y dumating sa lalake ng Dios sa burol, siya'y humawak sa kaniyang mga paa. At lumapit si Giezi upang ihiwalay siya; nguni't sinabi ng lalake ng Dios: Bayaan siya; sapagka't siya'y namamanglaw; at inilihim ng Panginoon sa akin, at hindi isinaysay sa akin.

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]

Nang magkagayo'y sinabi niya, Ako ba'y humiling ng isang anak sa aking panginoon? di ba sinabi ko, Huwag mo akong dayain?

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].”

Nang magkagayo'y sinabi niya kay Giezi, Bigkisan mo ang iyong mga balakang, at tangnan mo ang aking tungkod sa iyong kamay, at yumaon ka ng iyong lakad: kung ikaw ay makasasalubong ng sinomang tao, huwag mo siyang batiin; at kung ang sinoman ay bumati sa iyo, huwag mo siyang sagutin: at ipatong mo ang aking tungkod sa mukha ng 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].

At sinabi ng ina ng bata, Buhay ang Panginoon, at buhay ang iyong kaluluwa, hindi kita iiwan. At siya'y tumindig, at sumunod sa 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.”

At si Giezi ay nagpauna sa kanila, at ipinatong ang tungkod sa mukha ng bata; nguni't wala kahit tinig, o pakinig man. Kaya't siya'y bumalik na sinalubong siya, at nagsaysay sa kaniya, na nagsabi, Ang bata'y hindi magising.

32 When Elisha reached the house, he saw that the boy was lying dead on his bed.

At nang si Eliseo ay dumating sa bahay, narito, ang bata'y patay, at nakahiga sa kaniyang higaan.

33 Elisha went into the room by himself and shut the door and prayed to Yahweh.

Siya'y pumasok nga at sinarhan ang pintuan sa kanilang dalawa, at dumalangin sa Panginoon.

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!

At siya'y sumampa, at dumapa sa ibabaw ng bata, at idinikit ang kaniyang bibig sa bibig niya, at ang kaniyang mga mata sa mga mata niya, at ang kaniyang mga kamay sa mga kamay niya: at siya'y dumapa sa kaniya; at ang laman ng bata ay uminit.

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!

Nang magkagayo'y bumalik siya, at lumakad sa bahay na paroo't parito na minsan; at sumampa, at dumapa sa ibabaw niya: at ang bata'y nagbahing makapito, at idinilat ng bata ang kaniyang 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!”

At tinawag niya si Giezi, at sinabi, Tawagin mo ang Sunamitang ito. Sa gayo'y tinawag niya siya. At nang siya'y pumaroon sa kaniya, sinabi niya, Kalungin mo ang iyong anak.

37 She [gratefully] prostrated herself at Elisha’s feet. Then she picked up her son and carried him downstairs.

Nang magkagayo'y pumasok siya at nagpatirapa sa kaniyang mga paa, at yumukod sa lupa; at kinalong niya ang kaniyang anak, at umalis.

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.”

At si Eliseo ay bumalik sa Gilgal: at may kagutom sa lupain; at ang mga anak ng mga propeta ay nangakaupo sa harap niya: at sinabi niya sa kaniyang lingkod: Isalang mo ang malaking palayok, at ipagluto mo ng lutuin ang mga anak ng 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.

At ang isa ay lumabas sa bukid upang manguha ng mga gugulayin, at nakasumpong ng isang baging gubat, at namitas doon ng mga kalabasang gubat na ang kaniyang kandungan ay napuno, at bumalik at pinagputolputol sa palayok ng lutuin: sapagka't hindi nila nalalaman.

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.

Sa gayo'y kanilang ibinuhos para sa mga tao upang kanin. At nangyari, samantalang sila'y nagsisikain ng lutuin, na sila'y nagsisigaw, at nagsipagsabi, Oh lalake ng Dios, may kamatayan sa palayok. At hindi nakain yaon.

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.

Nguni't kaniyang sinabi, Magdala nga rito ng harina. At kaniyang isinilid sa palayok; at kaniyang sinabi, Ibuhos ninyo para sa bayan, upang sila'y makakain. At wala nang makasasama sa palayok.

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.”

At dumating ang isang lalake na mula sa Baal-salisa, at nagdala sa lalake ng Dios ng tinapay ng mga unang bunga, na dalawang pung tinapay na sebada, at mga murang uhay ng trigo na nangasa kaniyang bayong. At kaniyang sinabi, Ibigay mo sa bayan, upang kanilang makain.

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!”

At sinabi ng kaniyang lingkod: Ano, ilalapag ko ba ito sa harap ng isang daang tao? Nguni't kaniyang sinabi, Ibigay sa bayan upang kanilang makain; sapagka't ganito ang sabi ng Panginoon, Sila'y kakain, at magtitira niyaon.

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.

Sa gayo'y inilapag niya sa harap nila, at sila'y nagsikain, at nagsipagtira niyaon, ayon sa salita ng Panginoon.
