1 Forsothe sum womman of the wyues of prophetys criede to Elisee, and seide, Thi seruaunt, myn hosebonde, is deed, and thou knowist that thi seruaunt dredde God; and lo! the creaunser, `that is, he to whom the dette is owid, cometh to take my two sones to serue hym.

And a woman one from [the] wives of [the] sons of the prophets she cried out to Elisha saying servant your husband my he is dead and you you know that servant your he was fearing Yahweh and the creditor [is] about to come to take [the] two children my for himself to slaves.

2 To whom Elisee seide, What wolt thou that Y do to thee? seie thou to me, what hast thou in thin hows? And she answeride, Y thin handmayde haue not ony thing in myn hows, no but a litil of oile, bi which Y schal be anoyntid.

And he said to her Elisha what? will I do for you tell to me what? [is] there ([belonging] to you *Q(k)*) in the house and she said not [belongs] to maidservant your anything in the house that except a jar of oil.

3 To whom he seide, Go thou, and axe bi borewyng of alle thi neiyboris voide vessels not fewe.

And he said go ask for yourself vessels from the outside from with all (neighbors your *Q(k)*) vessels empty may not you make few.

4 And entre, and close thi dore, whanne thou art with ynne, thou and thi sones; and putte ye therof in to alle these vessels; and whanne tho schulen be ful, thou schalt take awei.

And you will go and you will shut the door behind you and behind children your and you will pour out on all the vessels these and the full [one] you will set aside.

5 Therfor the womman yede, and closide the dore on hir silf and on hir sones, thei brouyten vessels, and sche `heldide in.

And she went from with him and she shut the door behind her and behind children her they [were] bringing to her and she ([was] pouring out. *Q(k)*)

6 And whanne the vessels weren fulle, sche seide to hir sone, Brynge thou yit a vessel to me. And he answeride, Y haue not. And the oyle stood.

And it was - when were full the vessels and she said to son her bring near! to me still a vessel and he said to her there not still [is] a vessel and it stopped the oil.

7 Forsothe sche cam, and schewide to the man of God; and he seide, Go thou, sil thou the oile, and yelde to thi creauncer; forsothe thou and thi children lyue of the residue.

And she came and she told to [the] man of God and he said go sell the oil and pay (debt your *Q(K)*) and you (and children your *Q(K)*) you will live by the remainder.

8 Forsothe sum day was maad, and Elisee passide bi a citee, Sunam; sotheli a greet womman was there, which helde hym, that he schulde ete breed. And whanne he passide ofte therbi, `he turnede to hir, that he schulde ete breed.

And it was the day and he passed on Elisha to Shunem and [was] there a woman great and she urged him to eat food and it was as often as passed by he he turned aside there towards to eat food.

9 `Which womman seide to hir hosebonde, Y perseyue that this is an hooli man of God, that passith ofte bi vs;

And she said to husband her here! please I know that [is] a man of God holy he [who] passes by at us continually.

10 therfor make we a litil soler to hym, and putte we therynne a litil bed to hym, and a boord, and a chaier, and a candilstike; that whanne he cometh to vs, he dwelle there.

Let us make please an upper room of a wall small and let us put for him there a bed and a table and a chair and a lampstand and it will be when comes he to us he will turn aside there towards.

11 Therfor sum dai was maad, and he cam, and turnede in to the soler, and restide there.

And it was the day and he came there towards and he turned aside to the upper room and he lay down there.

12 And he seide to Giezi, his child, Clepe thou this Sunamyte. And whanne he hadde clepid hir, and sche hadde stonde

And he said to Gehazi servant his summon the Shunammite [woman] this and he summoned her and she stood before him.

13 bifor hym, he seide to his child, Speke thou to hir, Lo! thou hast mynystride to vs bisili in alle thingis; what wolt thou that Y do to thee? Whether thou hast a cause, and wolt that Y speke to the kyng, ether to the prince of the chyualrye? And sche answeride, I dwelle in the myddis of my puple.

And he said to him say please to her here! you have taken care - to us all the care this what? [is] to do for you ¿ [is] there to speak for you to the king or? to [the] commander of the army and she said in among own people my I [am] dwelling.

14 And he seide, What therfor wole sche that Y do to hir? Giezi seide to hym, Axe thou not, for she hath no sone, and hir hosebonde is eeld.

And he said and what? [is] to do for her and he said Gehazi indeed a son not [belongs] to her and husband her he is old.

15 Therfor Elisee comaundide, that he schulde clepe hir. And whanne sche was clepid, and stood bifor the dore,

And he said summon her and he summoned her and she stood at the entrance.

16 he seide to hir, In this tyme and in this same our, if lijf schal be felow, thou schalt haue a sone in the wombe. And sche answeride, Nyle thou, my lord, the man of God, Y biseche, nyle thou lye to thin hondmaide.

And he said to the appointed time this about the time living (you *Q(K)*) [will be] embracing a son and she said may [you] not O lord my O man of God may not you tell a lie to maidservant your.

17 And the womman conseyuede, and childide a sone in the tyme, and in the same our, in which Elisee hadde seid.

And she conceived the woman and she gave birth to a son to the appointed time this about the time living which he had spoken to her Elisha.

18 Sotheli the child encreeside; and whanne sum day was, and the child was goon out, and yede to his fadir,

And he grew up the child and it was the day and he went out to father his to the harvesters.

19 and to the repers, he seide to his fadir, Myn heed akith, myn heed akith. And he seide to a child, Take, and lede hym to his modir.

And he said to father his head my - head my and he said to the servant carry him to mother his.

20 And whanne he hadde take, and hadde brouyt hym to his modir, sche settide hym on hir knees `til to myddai, and he was deed.

And he carried him and he brought him to mother his and he sat on knees her until the noontide and he died.

21 Sotheli she stiede, and leide hym on the litil bed of the man of God, and closide the dore.

And she went up and she made lie him on [the] bed of [the] man of God and she shut behind him and she went out.

22 And sche yede out, and clepide hir hosebonde, and seide, Y biseche, sende thou with me oon of the children, and an asse, and Y schal renne out `til to the man of God, and Y schal turne ayen.

23 And he seide to hir, For what cause goist thou to hym? to dai ben not calendis, nether sabat. And she answeride, Y schal go.

And he said why? ([are] you *Q(K)*) (going *Q(k)*) to him this day not new moon and not sabbath and she said peace.

24 And sche sadlide the asse, and comaundide to the child, Dryue thou, and haaste; make thou not tariyng to me in goyng, and do thou this thing which Y comaunde to thee.

And she saddled the donkey and she said to servant her lead on and go may not you hold back me to ride that except I have said to you.

25 Therfor sche yede forth, and cam to the man of God, in to the hil of Carmele. And whanne the man of God hadde seyn hir euene ayen, he seide to Giezi, his child, Lo! thilke Sunamyte; go thou therfor in to the metyng of hir,

And she went and she came to [the] man of God to [the] mountain of Carmel and it was when saw [the] man of God her from before and he said to Gehazi servant his there! [is] the Shunammite [woman] this.

26 and seie thou to hir, Whether it is doon riytfuli aboute thee, and aboute thin hosebonde, and aboute thi sone? And sche answeride, Riytfuli.

Now run please to meet her and say to her ¿ [does] peace [belong] to you ¿ [does] peace [belong] to husband your ¿ [does] peace [belong] to the child and she said peace.

27 And whanne sche hadde come to the man of God, in to the hil, sche took his feet; and Giezi neiyede, that he schulde remoue hir. And the man of God seide, Suffre thou hir; for hir soule is in bitternesse, and the Lord helde priuy fro me, and schewide not to me.

And she came to [the] man of God to the mountain and she took hold on feet his and he drew near Gehazi to drive away her and he said [the] man of God refrain to her for self her it is bitter to her and Yahweh he has hidden from me and not he has told to me.

28 And sche seide to hym, Whether I axide my sone of my lord? Whether Y seide not to thee, Scorne thou not me?

And she said ¿ did I ask for a son from with lord my ¿ not did I say not you must deceive me.

29 And he seide to Giezi, Girde thi leendis, and take my staf in thin hond, and go; if a man metith thee, grete thou not hym; and if ony man gretith thee, answere thou not hym; and putte thou my staf on the face of the child.

And he said to Gehazi gird up loins your and take staff my in hand your and go if you will meet anyone not you must bless him and if he will bless you anyone not you must answer him and you will put staff my on [the] face of the lad.

30 Forsothe the `modir of the child seide, The Lord lyueth and thi soule lyueth, Y schal not leeue, `ether forsake, thee. Therfor he roos, and suede hir.

And she said [the] mother of the lad [by] [the] life of Yahweh and [by] [the] life of self your if I will leave you and he arose and he went after her.

31 Sotheli Giezi yede bifor hem, and puttide the staaf on the face of the child; and `vois was not, nether wit. And Giezi turnede ayen to the meetyng of hym; and telde to him, and seyde, The child `roos not.

And Gehazi he passed on before them and he put the staff on [the] face of the lad and there not [was] a sound and there not [was] attention and he went back to meet him and he told to him saying not he has awakened the lad.

32 Therfor Elisee entride in to the hows, and, lo! the deed child lai in his bed.

And he came Elisha the house towards and there! the lad [was] dead laid on bed his.

33 And he entride, and closide the dore on hym silf, and on the child; and preiede to the Lord.

And he went and he shut the door behind [the] two of them and he prayed to Yahweh.

34 And he stiede, and lay on the child; and he puttide his mouth on the mouth of the child, and hise iyen on the iyen of the child, and hise hondis on the hondis of the child. And he bouwide hym silf on the child; and the fleisch of the child was maad hoot.

And he went up and he lay on the child and he put mouth his on mouth his and eyes his on eyes his and palms his on (palms his *Q(K)*) and he crouched over him and it became warm [the] flesh of the child.

35 And he turnede ayen, and walkide in the hows onys hidur and thidur; and Elisee stiede, and lai on the child, and the child yoxide seuene sithis, and openyde the iyen.

And he went back and he walked in the house one [time] hither and one [time] hither and he went up and he crouched over him and he sneezed the lad until seven times and he opened the lad eyes his.

36 And he clepide Giezi, and seide to hym, Clepe thou this Sunamyte. And sche was clepid, and entride to hym. And he seide, Take thi sone.

And he summoned Gehazi and he said summon the Shunammite [woman] this and he summoned her and she came to him and he said take up son your.

37 She cam, and felde doun to his feet, and worschipide on erthe; and sche took hir sone, and yede out.

And Elisha he returned Gilgal towards and famine [was] in the land and [the] sons of the prophets [were] sitting before him and he said to servant his put on the pot large and cook cooked food for [the] sons of the prophets.

39 And oon yede out in to the feeld to gadere eerbis of the feeld; and he foond as a wilde vyne, and he gaderide therof gourdis of the feeld. And he fillide his mentil, and he turnede ayen, and schredde in to the pot of potage; for he wiste not what it was.

And he went out one [man] to the field to gather herbs and he found a vine of [the] field and he gathered from it gourds of [the] field [the] fullness of garment his and he came and he sliced [them] into [the] pot of the cooked food for not people knew.

40 Therfor thei helden yn to felowis to ete; and whanne thei hadden taastid of the sething, thei crieden out, and seiden, Deth in the pot! deeth in the pot! thou man of God. And thei miyten not ete. And he seide, Brynge ye meele.

And they poured [it] out for [the] men to eat and it was when ate they some of the cooked food and they they cried out and they said death [is] in the pot O man of God and not they were able to eat [it].

41 And whanne thei hadden brouyt, he puttide in to the pot, and seide, Helde ye to the cumpany, that thei ete; and ony thing of bitternesse was nomore in the pot.

And he said and fetch flour and he threw [it] into the pot and he said pour [it] out for the people so they may eat and not it was a thing bad in the pot.

42 Forsothe sum man cam fro the pleyn of Salisa, and bar to the man of God looues of the firste fruytis, ten looues of barli, and newe wheete, in his scrippe. And the man of God seide, Yyue thou to the puple, that it ete.

And a man he came from Baal Shalisha and he brought to [the] man of God bread of first-fruits twenty bread[s] of barley and new corn in sack his and he said give [it] to the people so they may eat.

43 And his mynystre answeride to hym, `Hou myche is this, that Y sette bifor an hundrid men? Eft Elisee seide, Yyue thou to the puple, that it ete; for the Lord seith these thingis, Thei schulen ete, and it shal leeue.

And he said servant his what? will I put this before a hundred man and he said give [it] to the people so they may eat for thus he says Yahweh they will eat and they will have more than enough.

44 Therfor he puttide bifor hem, whiche eeten; and it lefte, bi the word of the Lord.
