< 2 Kings 6 >

1 Forsothe the sones of prophetis seiden to Elisee, Lo! the place in which we dwellen bifor thee, is streiyt to vs;
Da bi, adiyifo kuw baa Elisa nkyɛn bɛka kyerɛɛ no se, “Sɛnea wo ara wuhu no, baabi a yɛne wo hyia ha yi sua.
2 go we `til to Jordan, and ech man take of the wode `a mater for hym silf, that we bild to vs here a place to dwelle.
Ma yɛnkɔ Asubɔnten Yordan ho a nnua bebree wɔ hɔ. Ɛhɔ de, yebetumi asi ɔdan foforo, ahyia mu wɔ hɔ.” Ɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Eye, monkɔyɛ.”
3 Which Elisee seide, Go ye. And oon of hem seide, Therfor `and thou come with thi seruauntis. He answeride, Y schal come. And he yede with hem.
Obi kaa nʼadwene se, “Mesrɛ wo, bɛka yɛn ho na yɛnkɔ.” Ɔkae se, “Mate yɛbɛkɔ.”
4 And whanne thei `hadden come to Jordan, thei hewiden trees.
Bere a woduu Yordan ho no, wofii ase buu nnua.
5 Sotheli it bifelde, that whanne `o man hadde kit doun mater, the yrun of the axe felde in to the watir; and he criede, and seide, Alas! alas! alas! my lord, and Y hadde take this same thing bi borewing.
Nanso wɔn mu baako rebu dua no, nʼabonnua hɔn tɔɔ asu no mu. Ɔteɛɛ mu se, “O me wura! Ɛyɛ abonnua a mekɔsrɛe!”
6 Sotheli the man of God seide, Where felde it? And he schewide to hym the place. Therfor he kittide doun a tree, and sente thidur; and the yrun fletide.
Onyankopɔn nipa no bisae se, “Ɛhefa na ɛtɔe?” Ɔkyerɛɛ Elisa baabi ko no, Elisa twaa pema, na ɔtow kyenee asu no mu. Ɛhɔ ara abonnua ti no pagyaw ne ho, bɛtɛn asu no ani.
7 And he seide, Take thou. Which helde forth the hond, and took it.
Elisa ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Ma so yi.” Na ɔbarima no teɛɛ ne nsa yii.
8 Forsothe the kyng of Syrie fauyte ayens Israel; and he took counseil with hise seruauntis, and seide, Sette we buschementis in this place and that.
Bere a Aramhene ne Israel redi ako no, ɔne ne mpanyimfo tuu agyina, kae se, “Yɛbɛboaboa yɛn asraafo ano wɔ ha anaa ɛha.”
9 Therfor the man of God sente to the kyng of Israel, and seide, Be war, lest thou passe to that place, for men of Sirie ben there in buschementis.
Ntɛm pa ara, Onyankopɔn nipa Elisa bɔɔ Israelhene kɔkɔ se, “Ntwiw mmɛn beae hɔ, efisɛ Aramfo no reyɛ nhyehyɛe, aboaboa wɔn asraafo ano wɔ hɔ.”
10 Therfor the kyng of Israel sente to the place, which the man of God hadde seid to him, and bifor ocupiede it, and kepte hym silf there not onys, nether twies.
Enti Israelhene hwɛɛ beae a Onyame nipa no kyerɛe no no. Elisa kɔɔ so bɔɔ ɔhene no kɔkɔ mpɛn pii, na ɛmaa nʼani daa fam wɔ mmeae a ɛtete saa no ho.
11 And the herte of the kyng of Sirie was disturblid for this thing; and whanne hise seruauntis weren clepide togidere, he seide, Whi schewen ye not to me, who is my tretour anentis the kyng of Israel?
Aramhene werɛ how wɔ asɛm yi ho. Ɔfrɛɛ ne mpanyimfo bisaa wɔn se, “Mo mu hena na ɔyɛ ɔfatwafo no? Hena na ɔka me nhyehyɛe a mayɛ kyerɛ Israelhene?”
12 And oon of hise seruauntis seide, Nay, my lord the kyng, but Elisee, the prophete, which is in Israel, schewith to the kyng of Israel alle thingis, what euer thingis thou spekist in thi closet.
Mpanyimfo no mu baako buae se, “Me wura, ɛnyɛ yɛn. Elisa a ɔyɛ odiyifo wɔ Israel no na ɔka wo kokoamsɛm kyerɛ Israelhene.”
13 And the kyng seide to hem, `Go ye, and se, where he is, that Y sende, and take hym. And thei telden to him, and seiden, Lo! he dwellith in Dothaym.
Ɔhene no hyɛe se, “Monkɔhwehwɛ baabi a Elisa wɔ, na yɛbɛsoma asraafo ama wɔakɔkyere no.” Na nkra bae se, “Elisa wɔ Dotan.”
14 And the kyng sente thidur horsis, and charis, and the strengthe of the oost; whiche, whanne thei hadden come bi nyyt, cumpassiden the citee.
Enti anadwo bi, Aramhene somaa asraafo bebree ne wɔn nteaseɛnam ne wɔn apɔnkɔ kotwaa dantaban faa kuropɔn no ho.
15 Sotheli the mynystre of the man of God roos eerli, and yede out, and he siy an oost in the cumpas of the citee, and horsis, and charis. And he telde to the man of God, and seide, Alas! alas! alas! my lord, what schulen we do?
Bere a Onyankopɔn nipa no somfo sɔree ahemadakye, sii afikyiri no, na asraafo, apɔnkɔ ne nteaseɛnam atwa hɔ ahyia. Ɔteɛɛ mu kyerɛɛ Elisa se, “O, me wura! Dɛn na yɛnyɛ?”
16 And he answeride, Nile thou drede; for mo ben with vs than with hem.
Elisa ka kyerɛɛ no se, “Nsuro na yɛwɔ dɔm sen wɔn.”
17 And whanne Elisee hadde preied, he seide, Lord, opene thou the iyen of this child, that he se. And the Lord openyde the iyen of the child, and he siy. And, lo! the hil ful of horsis, and of charis of fier, in the cumpas of Elisee.
Afei, Elisa bɔɔ mpae se, “Awurade, bue nʼani na ma onhu ade,” Awurade buee ne somfo ani, na ɔmaa nʼani so no, ohuu sɛ Elisa nkyɛn mu a ɛkyerɛ bepɔw no, ogya apɔnkɔ ne nteaseɛnam na ayɛ hɔ ma.
18 Sotheli the enemyes camen doun to hym; forsothe Elisee preiede to the Lord, and seide, Y biseche, smyte thou this folc with blyndenesse. And the Lord smoot hem, that thei sien not, bi the word of Elisee.
Bere a Aramfo asraafo bɔ puaa wɔn no, Elisa bɔɔ mpae se, “Awurade, mesrɛ wo, ma wɔn ani mfurafura.” Na Awurade yɛɛ nea Elisa bisae no.
19 Forsothe Elisee seide to hem, This is not the weie, nether this is the citee; sue ye me, and Y schal schewe to you the man, whom ye seken. And he ledde hem into Samarie.
Na Elisa fii adi, kɔka kyerɛɛ wɔn se, “Moafa ɔkwan bɔne so aba. Ɛnyɛ kurow a morehwehwɛ no ni. Munni mʼakyi, na mede mo bɛkɔ onipa a morehwehwɛ no no nkyɛn.” Na odii wɔn anim koduu Samaria.
20 And whanne thei hadden entrid into Samarie, Elisee seide, Lord, opene thou the iyen of these men, that thei see. And the Lord openyde her iyen, and thei siyen, that thei weren in the myddis of Samarie.
Na woduu Samaria pɛ, Elisa bɔɔ mpae se, “Awurade, afei bue wɔn ani, na ma wonhu ade.” Na Awurade yɛe, na wohuu sɛ wɔwɔ Samaria.
21 And the kyng of Israel, whanne he hadde seyn hem, seide to Elisee, My fadir, whether Y schal smyte hem?
Bere a Israelhene huu wɔn no, ɔteɛɛ mu, bisaa Elisa se, “Mʼagya, minkunkum wɔn ana?”
22 And he seide, Thou schalt not smyte hem, for thou hast not take hem bi thi swerd and bouwe, that thou smyte hem; but sette thou breed and watir bifor hem, that thei ete and drynke, and go to her lord.
Elisa buaa no se, “Nkunkum wɔn. So wubekunkum wɔn a wode wʼankasa afoa ne agyan afa wɔn nnommum no ana? Ma wɔn aduan ne nsu, na wonnidi, nnom na ma wɔnsan nkɔ wɔn wura nkyɛn.”
23 And `greet makyng redi of metis was set forth to hem; and thei eten, and drunken. And the kyng lefte hem, and thei yeden to her lord; and theues of Sirie camen no more in to the lond of Israel.
Enti ɔhene no too wɔn pon kɛse, na wodidi, nom wiee no ɔma wɔsan kɔɔ wɔn hene nkyɛn. Enti Aramfo afowfo no twee wɔn ho fii Israel asase ho koraa.
24 Forsothe it was don after these thingis, Benadab, king of Sirie, gaderide alle his oost, and stiede, and bisegide Samarie.
Akyiri no, Aramhene Ben-Hadad boaboaa nʼakofo nyinaa ano, de wɔn kotuaa Samaria ano.
25 And greet hungur was maad in Samarie; and so long it was bisegid, til the heed of an asse were seeld for fourescore platis of siluer, and the fourthe part of a mesure clepid cabus of the crawe of culueris was seeld for fyue platis of siluer.
Ɛbaa saa no, ɔkɔm kɛse baa kurow no mu. Ɛyɛɛ kakra no, na wɔtɔn afurum ti nsania ani dwetɛ kilogram baako, na aborɔnoma bin kuruwa ma, na ne bo yɛ nsania ani dwetɛ gram aduonum awotwe.
26 And whanne the kyng of Israel passide bi the wal, sum womman criede to hym, and seide, My lord the kyng, saue thou me.
Da bi a Israelhene nam kurow no fasu ho no, ɔbea bi kɔɔ ne nkyɛn kɔsrɛɛ no se, “Me wura ɔhene, mesrɛ wo, boa me.”
27 Which seide, Nai, the Lord saue thee; wherof may Y saue thee? of cornfloor, ethir of pressour? And the kyng seide to hir, What wolt thou to thee?
Obuaa no se, “Sɛ Awurade ammoa wo a, dɛn na metumi ayɛ? Minni aduan anaa nsa a mede bɛma wo.”
28 And sche answeride, This womman seide to me, Yyue thi sone, that we ete hym to dai, and we schulen ete my sone to morewe.
Ɔhene no bisaa no se, “Dɛn asɛm?” Obuae se, “Saa ɔbea yi kae se, yɛnwe me babarima da bi, na ade kye a, yɛawe ɔno nso de.
29 Therfor we setheden my sone, and eten him. And Y seide to hir in the tother day, Yyue thi sone, that we ete hym; and she hidde hir sone.
Enti yɛnoaa me babarima wee. Afei, ade kyee no, meka kyerɛɛ no se, ‘Kum wo babarima no ma yɛnwe,’ nanso na ɔde no akosie.”
30 And whanne the kyng hadde herd this, he to-rente hise clothis, and passide bi the wal; and al the puple siy the heire, `with which the kyng was clothid at the fleisch with ynne.
Na ɔhene no tee saa asɛm no, osunsuan ne ntade mu. Na ɔhene no nenam ɔfasu no ho no, nnipa no huu sɛ ɔhyɛ atweaatam wɔ nʼase.
31 And the kyng seide, God do to me these thingis, and adde these thingis, if the heed of Elise, sone of Saphat, schal stonde on hym to dai.
Ɔhene no kaa ntam se, “Sɛ nnɛ mankum Safat babarima Elisa a, Onyankopɔn nkum me.”
32 Sotheli Elisee sat in his hows, and elde men saten with hym; `therfor he biforsente a man, and bifor that thilke messanger cam, Elisee seide to the elde men, Whether ye witen, that the sone of manquellere sente hidur, that myn heed be gird of? Therfor se ye, whanne the messanger cometh, close ye the dore, and `suffre ye not hym to entre; for, lo! the sown of the feet of his lord is bihynde hym.
Elisa te ne fi a ɔne Israel mpanyimfo reyɛ nhyiamu na ɔhene somaa abɔfo kɔfrɛɛ no. Nanso ansa na abɔfo no rebedu no, Elisa ka kyerɛɛ mpanyimfo no se, “Owudifo asoma ɔbarima bi sɛ ommekum me. Sɛ odu ha a, to pon no mu, na ɔnka akyi. Na ɛrenkyɛ ne wura no bedi nʼakyi aba.”
33 And yit `while he spak to hem, the messanger that cam to hym apperide; and the kyng seide, Lo! so greet yuel is of the Lord; sotheli what more schal Y abide of the Lord?
Elisa gu so rekasa no, ɔbɔfo no bae. Na ɔhene no kae se, “Ɛyɛ Awurade na ɔde saa ɔhaw yi abrɛ yɛn! Adɛn nti na ɛsɛ sɛ mekɔ so twɛn Awurade?”
