2 Kings 6
1 And sons of the prophet say unto Elisha, 'Lo, we pray thee, the place where we are dwelling before thee is too strait for us;
dixerunt autem filii prophetarum ad Heliseum ecce locus in quo habitamus coram te angustus est nobis
2 let us go, we pray thee, unto the Jordan, and we take thence each one beam, and we make for ourselves there a place to dwell there;' and he saith, 'Go.'
eamus usque ad Iordanem et tollant singuli de silva materias singulas ut aedificemus nobis ibi locum ad habitandum qui dixit ite
3 And the one saith, 'Be pleased, I pray thee, and go with thy servants;' and he saith, 'I — I go.'
et ait unus ex illis veni ergo et tu cum servis tuis respondit ego veniam
4 And he goeth with them, and they come in to the Jordan, and cut down the trees,
et abiit cum eis cumque venissent ad Iordanem caedebant ligna
5 and it cometh to pass, the one is felling the beam, and the iron hath fallen into the water, and he crieth and saith, 'Alas! my lord, and it asked!'
accidit autem ut cum unus materiem succidisset caderet ferrum securis in aquam exclamavitque ille et ait eheu eheu eheu domine mi et hoc ipsum mutuo acceperam
6 And the man of God saith, 'Whither hath it fallen?' and he sheweth him the place, and he cutteth a stick, and casteth thither, and causeth the iron to swim,
dixit autem homo Dei ubi cecidit at ille monstravit ei locum praecidit ergo lignum et misit illuc natavitque ferrum
7 and saith, 'Raise to thee;' and he putteth forth his hand and taketh it.
et ait tolle qui extendit manum et tulit illud
8 And the king of Aram hath been fighting against Israel, and taketh counsel with his servants, saying, 'At such and such a place [is] my encamping.'
rex autem Syriae pugnabat contra Israhel consiliumque iniit cum servis suis dicens in loco illo et illo ponamus insidias
9 And the man of God sendeth unto the king of Israel, saying, 'Take heed of passing by this place, for thither are the Aramaeans coming down;
misit itaque vir Dei ad regem Israhel dicens cave ne transeas in loco illo quia ibi Syri in insidiis sunt
10 and the king of Israel sendeth unto the place of which the man of God spake to him, and warned him, and he is preserved there not once nor twice.
misit rex Israhel ad locum quem dixerat ei vir Dei et praeoccupavit eum et observavit se ibi non semel neque bis
11 And the heart of the king of Aram is tossed about concerning this thing, and he calleth unto his servants, and saith unto them, 'Do ye not declare to me who of us [is] for the king of Israel?'
conturbatumque est cor regis Syriae pro hac re et convocatis servis suis ait quare non indicastis mihi quis proditor mei sit apud regem Israhel
12 And one of his servants saith, 'Nay, my lord, O king, for Elisha the prophet, who [is] in Israel, declareth to the king of Israel the words that thou speakest in the inner part of thy bed-chamber.'
dixitque unus servorum eius nequaquam domine mi rex sed Heliseus propheta qui est in Israhel indicat regi Israhel omnia verba quaecumque locutus fueris in conclavi tuo
13 And he saith, 'Go ye and see where he [is], and I send and take him;' and it is declared to him, saying, 'Lo — in Dothan.'
dixit eis ite et videte ubi sit ut mittam et capiam eum adnuntiaveruntque ei dicentes ecce in Dothan
14 And he sendeth thither horses and chariot, and a heavy force, and they come in by night, and go round against the city.
misit ergo illuc equos et currus et robur exercitus qui cum venissent nocte circumdederunt civitatem
15 And the servant of the man of God riseth early, and goeth out, and lo, a force is surrounding the city, and horse and chariot, and his young man saith unto him, 'Alas! my lord, how do we do?'
consurgens autem diluculo minister viri Dei egressus est viditque exercitum in circuitu civitatis et equos et currus nuntiavitque ei dicens eheu eheu domine mi quid faciemus
16 And he saith, 'Fear not, for more [are] they who [are] with us than they who [are] with them.'
at ille respondit noli timere plures enim nobiscum sunt quam cum illis
17 And Elisha prayeth, and saith, 'Jehovah, open, I pray Thee, his eyes, and he doth see;' and Jehovah openeth the eyes of the young man, and he seeth, and lo, the hill is full of horses and chariots of fire, round about Elisha.
cumque orasset Heliseus ait Domine aperi oculos huius ut videat et aperuit Dominus oculos pueri et vidit et ecce mons plenus equorum et curruum igneorum in circuitu Helisei
18 And they come down unto it, and Elisha prayeth unto Jehovah, and saith, 'Smite, I pray Thee, this nation with blindness;' and He smiteth them with blindness, according to the word of Elisha.
hostes vero descenderunt ad eum porro Heliseus oravit Dominum dicens percute obsecro gentem hanc caecitate percussitque eos Dominus ne viderent iuxta verbum Helisei
19 And Elisha saith unto them, 'This [is] not the way, nor [is] this the city; come after me, and I lead you unto the man whom ye seek;' and he leadeth them to Samaria.
dixit autem ad eos Heliseus non est haec via nec ista est civitas sequimini me et ostendam vobis virum quem quaeritis duxit ergo eos in Samariam
20 And it cometh to pass, at their coming in to Samaria, that Elisha saith, 'Jehovah, open the eyes of these, and they see;' and Jehovah openeth their eyes, and they see, and lo, in the midst of Samaria!
cumque ingressi fuissent in Samaria dixit Heliseus Domine aperi oculos istorum ut videant aperuitque Dominus oculos eorum et viderunt esse se in medio Samariae
21 And the king of Israel saith unto Elisha, at his seeing them, 'Do I smite — do I smite — my father?'
dixitque rex Israhel ad Heliseum cum vidisset eos numquid percutiam eos pater mi
22 And he saith, 'Thou dost not smite; those whom thou hast taken captive with thy sword and with thy bow art thou smiting? set bread and water before them, and they eat, and drink, and go unto their lord.'
at ille ait non percuties neque enim cepisti eos gladio et arcu tuo ut percutias pone panem et aquam coram eis ut comedant et bibant et vadant ad dominum suum
23 And he prepareth for them great provision, and they eat and drink, and he sendeth them away, and they go unto their lord: and troops of Aram have not added any more to come in to the land of Israel.
adpositaque est eis ciborum magna praeparatio et comederunt et biberunt et dimisit eos abieruntque ad dominum suum et ultra non venerunt latrones Syriae in terram Israhel
24 And it cometh to pass afterwards, that Ben-Hadad king of Aram gathereth all his camp, and goeth up, and layeth siege to Samaria,
factum est autem post haec congregavit Benadad rex Syriae universum exercitum suum et ascendit et obsidebat Samariam
25 and there is a great famine in Samaria, and lo, they are laying siege to it, till the head of an ass is at eighty silverlings, and a forth of the cab of dovesdung at five silverlings.
factaque est fames magna in Samaria et tamdiu obsessa est donec venundaretur caput asini octoginta argenteis et quarta pars cabi stercoris columbarum quinque argenteis
26 And it cometh to pass, the king of Israel is passing by on the wall, and a woman hath cried unto him, saying, 'Save, my lord, O king.'
cumque rex Israhel transiret per murum mulier exclamavit ad eum dicens salva me domine mi rex
27 And he saith, 'Jehovah doth not save thee — whence do I save thee? out of the threshing-floor, or out of the wine-vat?'
qui ait non te salvet Dominus unde salvare te possum de area an de torculari dixitque ad eam rex quid tibi vis quae respondit
28 And the king saith to her, 'What — to thee?' and she saith, 'This woman said unto me, Give thy son, and we eat him to-day, and my son we eat to-morrow;
mulier ista dixit mihi da filium tuum ut comedamus eum hodie et filium meum comedemus cras
29 and we boil my son and eat him, and I say unto her on the next day, Give thy son, and we eat him; and she hideth her son.'
coximus ergo filium meum et comedimus dixique ei die altera da filium tuum ut comedamus eum quae abscondit filium suum
30 And it cometh to pass, at the king's hearing the words of the woman, that he rendeth his garments, and he is passing by on the wall, and the people see, and lo, the sackcloth [is] on his flesh within.
quod cum audisset rex scidit vestimenta sua et transiebat super murum viditque omnis populus cilicium quo vestitus erat ad carnem intrinsecus
31 And he saith, 'Thus doth God do to me, and thus He doth add — if it remain — the head of Elisha son of Shaphat — upon him this day.'
et ait haec mihi faciat Deus et haec addat si steterit caput Helisei filii Saphat super eum hodie
32 And Elisha is sitting in his house, and the elders are sitting with him, and [the king] sendeth a man from before him; before the messenger doth come unto him, even he himself said unto the elders, 'Have ye seen that this son of the murderer hath sent to turn aside my head? see, at the coming in of the messenger, shut the door, and ye have held him fast at the door, is not the sound of the feet of his lord behind him?'
Heliseus autem sedebat in domo sua et senes sedebant cum eo praemisit itaque virum et antequam veniret nuntius ille dixit ad senes numquid scitis quod miserit filius homicidae hic ut praecidatur caput meum videte ergo cum venerit nuntius cludite ostium et non sinatis eum introire ecce enim sonitus pedum domini eius post eum est
33 He is yet speaking with them, and lo, the messenger is coming down unto him, and he saith, 'Lo, this [is] the evil from Jehovah: what — do I wait for Jehovah any more?'
et adhuc illo loquente eis apparuit nuntius qui veniebat ad eum et ait ecce tantum malum a Domino est quid amplius expectabo a Domino
