2 Kings 7

1 And Elisha saith, 'Hear ye a word of Jehovah: thus said Jehovah, About this time to-morrow, a measure of fine flour [is] at a shekel, and two measures of barley at a shekel, in the gate of Samaria.'

Elisa buae se, “Tie saa asɛm yi fi Awurade nkyɛn! Sɛnea Awurade se ni: Ebedu ɔkyena sesɛɛ, wɔbɛtɔn asikresiam a wɔayam no muhumuhu lita asia agye dwetɛ gram dubaako wɔ Samaria egua biara so. Na atoko nso, wɔbɛtɔn lita du agye dwetɛ gram du abien pɛ.”

2 And the captain whom the king hath, by whose hand he hath been supported, answereth the man of God and saith, 'Lo, Jehovah is making windows in the heavens — shall this thing be?' and he saith, 'Lo, thou art seeing it with thine eyes, and thereof thou dost not eat.'

Ɔpanyin a ɔboa ɔhene no ka kyerɛɛ Onyankopɔn nipa no se, “Sɛ Awurade bue ɔsoro mfɛnsere mpo a, ɛremma saa da!” Na Elisa kae se, “Wubehu sɛ ɛbɛba mu saa, nanso worentumi nni emu biara bi.”

3 And four men have been leprous, at the opening of the gate, and they say one unto another, 'What — we are sitting here till we have died;

Afei, mmarima akwatafo baanan bi bɛtenatenaa kurow no apon ano. Wobisabisaa wɔn ho wɔn ho se, “Adɛn nti na ɛsɛ sɛ yɛtena ha twɛn ara kosi sɛ yebewuwu?

4 if we have said, We go in to the city, then the famine [is] in the city, and we have died there; and if we have sat here, then we have died; and now, come and we fall unto the camp of Aram; if they keep us alive, we live, and if they put us to death — we have died.'

Sɛ yɛtena ha a, ɔkɔm bɛde yɛn dodo; saa ara na sɛ yɛsan kɔ kurow no mu nso a, ɔkɔm bɛwe yɛn ara ne no. Enti ebeye sɛ yɛbɛkɔ, na yɛde yɛn ho bɛma Aramfo asraafo no. Na sɛ wɔma yɛtena ase a, na ne yiye mu ne no. Na sɛ wokunkum yɛn nso a, na ɛno ara ne no.”

5 And they rise in the twilight, to go in unto the camp of Aram, and they come in unto the extremity of the camp of Aram, and lo, there is not a man there,

Enti saa anwummere no, wosii mu kɔɔ Aramfo nsraban no mu, nanso na obiara nni hɔ.

6 seeing Jehovah hath caused the camp of Aram to hear a noise of chariot and a noise of horse — a noise of great force, and they say one unto another, 'Lo, the king of Israel hath hired against us the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of Egypt, to come against us.'

Na Awurade ama asraafo no nyinaa ate nteaseɛnam a ɛrekɔ mmirikaden no ne apɔnkɔ no ne asraafo dɔm kɛse a wɔrebɛn wɔn no nnyigyei. Wɔteɛteɛɛ mu se, “Israelhene afa Hetifo ne Misraimfo sɛ wɔmmɛtow nhyɛ yɛn so.”

7 And they rise and flee in the twilight, and forsake their tents, and their horses, and their asses — the camp as it [is] — and flee for their life.

Enti wɔbɔɔ huboa, na woguan anadwo no, gyaw wɔn ntamadan, apɔnkɔ, mfurum ne wɔn biribiara, de peree wɔn nkwa.

8 And these lepers come in unto the extremity of the camp, and come in unto one tent, and eat, and drink, and lift up thence silver, and gold, and garments, and go and hide; and they turn back and go in unto another tent, and lift up thence, and go and hide.

Bere a akwatafo no duu nsraban no ano no, wɔn nyinaa wurawuraa ntamadan no mu mmaako mmaako didii, nom nsa, tasee dwetɛ, sikakɔkɔɔ ne ntade de kosiei.

9 And they say one unto another, 'We are not doing right this day; a day of tidings it [is], and we are keeping silent; and — we have waited till the light of the morning, then hath punishment found us; and now, come and we go in and declare to the house of the king.'

Akyiri no, wɔkeka kyerɛkyerɛɛ wɔn ho wɔn ho se, “Nea yɛreyɛ yi nye. Eyi yɛ asɛm papa a yɛmmɔɔ obiara amanneɛ. Na sɛ yɛtwɛn kosi adekyee a, nea ɛbɛyɛ biara, asotwe bi bɛda yɛn so. Momma yɛnkɔbɔ nnipa a wɔwɔ ahemfi no amanneɛ.”

10 And they come in, and call unto the gatekeeper of the city, and declare for themselves, saying, 'We have come in unto the camp of Aram, and lo, there is not there a man, or sound of man, but the bound horse, and the bound ass, and tents as they [are].'

Enti wɔsan baa kurow no mu, bɛbɔɔ aponanohwɛfo no asɛm a asi no ho amanneɛ sɛ wɔakɔ Aramfo no nsraban mu, na na obiara nni hɔ; nnyigyei biara nni hɔ. Na wɔasesa apɔnkɔ ne mfurum no ahama, na ntamadan no de, na ne nyinaa wɔ hɔ pɛpɛɛpɛ, nanso na onipa baako koraa nni hɔ.

11 and he calleth the gatekeepers, and they declare to the house of the king within.

Aponanohwɛfo no teɛteɛɛ mu, kaa asɛm no maa nnipa a wɔwɔ ahemfi hɔ no tee.

12 And the king riseth by night, and saith unto his servants, 'Let me declare, I pray you, to you that which the Aramaeans have done to us; they have known that we are famished, and they are gone out from the camp to be hidden in the field, saying, When they come out from the city, then we catch them alive, and unto the city we enter.'

Ɔdasu mu na ɔhene no sɔre fii ne mpa so, ka kyerɛɛ ne mpanyimfo se, “Minim asɛm a asi. Aramfo nim sɛ ɔkɔm rekum yɛn nti, wɔatu afi wɔn nsraban mu, akɔtetɛw wuram baabi. Wɔrehwehwɛ sɛ yebefi kurow no mu, na wɔakyekyere yɛn anikann, na wɔafa kurow no.”

13 And one of his servants answereth and saith, 'Then let them take, I pray thee, five of the horses that are left, that have been left in it — lo, they [are] as all the multitude of Israel who have been left in it; lo, they are as all the multitude of Israel who have been consumed — and we send and see.'

Mpanyimfo no mu baako kae se, “Eye sɛ yɛbɛsoma akwansrafo, na wɔakɔhwehwɛ mu. Momma wɔmfa apɔnkɔ a wɔaka no mu anum. Sɛ asɛm bi to wɔn koraa a, ɛrenyɛ adehwere kɛse biara sɛ wɔbɛtena ha ne yɛn a yɛaka no bewuwu.”

14 And they take two chariot-horses, and the king sendeth after the camp of Aram, saying, 'Go, and see.'

Enti wosiesiee nteaseɛnam abien ne apɔnkɔ, na ɔhene no somaa akwansrafo kɔhwɛɛ asɛm a ato Aramfo asraafo no.

15 And they go after them unto the Jordan, and lo, all the way is full of garments and vessels that the Aramaeans have cast away in their haste, and the messengers turn back and declare to the king.

Wɔkɔe ara koduu Asubɔnten Yordan, dii ntade ne ahyehyɛde a Aramfo atow agu no akyi, bere a na wɔde anikrakra reguan no. Akwansrafo no san bɛbɔɔ ɔhene no amanneɛ.

16 And the people go out and spoil the camp of Aram, and there is a measure of fine flour at a shekel, and two measures of barley at a shekel, according to the word of Jehovah.

Enti Samariafo bɔɔ twi, kɔfow Aramfo nsraban no. Ɛno nti na ɛyɛ nokware sɛ wɔtɔn asikresiam a wɔayam no muhumuhu lita asia saa da no, de gye dwetɛ gram dubaako, atoko lita du nso, na wɔtɔn de gye dwetɛ gram du abien, sɛnea Awurade hyɛɛ ho bɔ no pɛpɛɛpɛ.

17 And the king hath appointed the captain, by whose hand he is supported, over the gate, and the people tread him down in the gate, and he dieth, as the man of God spake, which he spake in the coming down of the king unto him,

Ɔhene no yii ne panyin ma ɔhwɛɛ ɔpon no mu ahyɛmfiri so, nanso nnipadɔm no twiw faa ne so ma owui. Enti biribiara baa mu pɛpɛɛpɛ, sɛnea Onyankopɔn nipa no hyɛɛ ho nkɔm bere a ɔhene no baa ne fi no.

18 yea, it cometh to pass, according to the speaking of the man of God unto the king, saying, 'Two measures of barley at a shekel, and a measure of fine flour at a shekel are, at this time to-morrow, in the gate of Samaria;'

Onyankopɔn nipa no ka kyerɛɛ ɔhene no se, “Ebedu ɔkyena sesɛɛ, wɔbɛtɔn asikresiam muhumuhu lita nsia agye dwetɛ gram du baako wɔ Samaria gua biara so. Na atoko nso, wɔbɛtɔn lita du agye dwetɛ gram du abien.”

19 and the captain answereth the man of God, and saith, 'And lo, Jehovah is making windows in the heavens — it is according to this word?' and he saith, 'Lo, thou art seeing with thine eyes, and thereof thou dost not eat;'

Ɔhene no panyin no buae se, “Sɛ Awurade bue ɔsoro mfɛnsere mpo a, ɛremma saa da!” Na Onyankopɔn nipa no kae se, “Wubehu sɛ ɛbɛba mu saa, nanso worenni emu biara bi.”

20 and it cometh to him so, and the people tread him down in the gate, and he dieth.

Ɛno ara na ɛbaa mu, nnipa twiw faa ne so, kum no wɔ ɔpon no ano.
