Forsothe the sones of prophetis seiden to Elisee, Lo! the place in which we dwellen bifor thee, is streiyt to vs;
2 Na míayi Yɔdan tɔsisi la to, ale be mía dometɔ ɖe sia ɖe natso ati eye míatsɔe atso teƒe aɖe si míanɔ.” Elisa gblɔ na wo be, “Miyi! Enyo, miate ŋu atu xɔ la faa.”
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.
3 Nusrɔ̃lawo dometɔ ɖeka gblɔ be, “Míeɖe kuku kplɔ mí yi teƒea.” Elisa lɔ̃ hegblɔ be, “Mayi!”
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.
4 Ke eyi kpli wo. Woɖo Yɔdan tɔsisi la to eye wode asi atiawo tsotso me.
And whanne thei `hadden come to Jordan, thei hewiden trees.
5 Esi nusrɔ̃lawo dometɔ ɖeka nɔ ati aɖe tsom la, eƒe fia do le fiati la me eye wòge ɖe tɔsisi la me. Nusrɔ̃la la do ɣli enumake be, “Oo, nye aƒetɔ, ɖe meɣe fia la hafi!”
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.
6 Nyagblɔɖila la biae be, “Afi ka fia la ge ɖo?” Nusrɔ̃la la fia teƒe lae. Elisa lã ati aɖe da ɖe teƒea le tsia me eye fia la ho ɖe tsi la ŋgɔ enumake!
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.
7 Elisa gblɔ nɛ be wòalée eye wòlée.
And he seide, Take thou. Which helde forth the hond, and took it.
8 Gbe ɖeka esime Siria nɔ aʋa wɔm kple Israel la, Siria fia gblɔ na eƒe aʋakplɔlawo be, “Míaƒu asaɖa anyi ɖe teƒe aɖe.” Eyɔ teƒe la ŋkɔ na wo.
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.
9 Elisa gblɔ na Israel fia enumake be, “Mègate ɖe teƒe sia ŋu o, elabena Siriatɔwo ɖo be yewoaƒu asaɖa anyi ɖe afi ma!”
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.
10 Ale Israel fia la dɔ amewo ɖa be woayi aɖakpɔ teƒe si Mawu ƒe ame la fia. Elisa xlɔ̃ nu Israel fia enuenu tso nu siawo ƒomevi ŋuti ale wònɔa ŋudzɔ ɖe teƒe mawo ŋuti.
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.
11 Nu sia wɔ nuku na Siria fia la. Eyɔ eƒe aʋafiawo ƒo ƒu eye wòbia wo be, “Mia dometɔ kae nye ameyomemɔfiala sia? Mia dometɔ kae le nye ɖoɖowo gblɔm na Israel Fia la?”
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?
12 Aʋakplɔlawo dometɔ ɖeka ɖo eŋu be, “Nye aƒetɔ fia bubutɔ, menye míawoe o, Elisa, nyagblɔɖila la gblɔa nya si nègblɔ le bebeme le wò xɔ gã me la na Israel fia la!”
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.
13 Fia la ɖe gbe be, “Miyi miakpɔ afi si wòle ekema míaɖo asrafowo ɖa woayi aɖalée.” Woyi gbɔ va gblɔ na fia la be, “Elisa le Dotan!”
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.
14 Ale le zã aɖe me la, Siria fia ɖo aʋakɔ gã aɖe kple tasiaɖamwo kple sɔ geɖewo ɖa be woaɖe to ɖe du la.
And the kyng sente thidur horsis, and charis, and the strengthe of the oost; whiche, whanne thei hadden come bi nyyt, cumpassiden the citee.
15 Esi nyagblɔɖila la ƒe subɔla fɔ ŋdi kanya eye wòdo ɖe xexe ko la, ekpɔ aʋawɔlawo, tasiaɖamwo kple sɔwo le afi sia afi. Edo ɣli bia Elisa be, “Aléle! Nye aƒetɔ, nu ka míawɔ fifia?”
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?
16 Elisa gblɔ nɛ be, “Mègavɔ̃ o! Elabena míaƒe aʋakɔ sɔ gbɔ, eye wòtri akɔ wu wo tɔ!”
And he answeride, Nile thou drede; for mo ben with vs than with hem.
17 Tete Elisa do gbe ɖa be, “Yehowa, ʋu nye subɔla ƒe ŋkuwo ne wòakpɔ nu!” Yehowa ʋu ɖekakpui la ƒe ŋkuwo eye wòte ŋu kpɔ dzosɔwo kple dzotasiaɖamwo le afi sia afi, le toa dzi.
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.
18 Esi Siriatɔwo ƒe aʋakɔ la lũ ɖe wo dzi la, Elisa do gbe ɖa be, “Yehowa, na woƒe ŋkuwo dzi natsyɔ.” Eye wòva eme nenema.
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.
19 Elisa yi ɖagblɔ na wo be, “Menye du si me yim miele hafi lae nye esia o. Du bubu mee mieva ɖo! Midze yonyeme eye makplɔ mi ayi ame si dim miele la gbɔ.” Ale Elisa kplɔ Siriatɔwo ƒe aʋakɔ blibo la yi Samaria!
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.
20 Esi woɖo Samaria la, Elisa do gbe ɖa be, “Yehowa, ʋu woƒe ŋkuwo azɔ ale be woakpɔ nu.” Yehowa wɔ nu si Elisa bia eye Siria ƒe aʋawɔlawo dze sii be yewole Samaria, le Israel ƒe fiadu la me!
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.
21 Esi Israel fia kpɔ wo la, edo ɣli bia Elisa be, “Fofonye, ɖe mawu woa? Mawu woa?”
And the kyng of Israel, whanne he hadde seyn hem, seide to Elisee, My fadir, whether Y schal smyte hem?
22 Elisa ɖo eŋu be, “Kura o! Ɖe míewua ame siwo míelé le aʋa mea? Na nuɖuɖu kple nunono wo eye nàtrɔ wo ɖo ɖe wo de le woƒe amegã gbɔ.”
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.
23 Ale Israel fia la ɖo kplɔ̃ gã aɖe na Siriatɔwo ƒe aʋakɔ la eye esi woɖu nu, no nu vɔ la, eɖo wo ɖe aƒe eye wotrɔ yi ɖe woƒe amegã gbɔ. Tso gbe ma gbe dzi la, Siria ƒe adzohawo megadoa ta ɖe Israelnyigba dzi o.
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.
24 Ke emegbe la, Siria fia Ben Hadad ƒo eƒe aʋakɔ blibo la nu ƒu eye wòɖe to ɖe Samaria.
Forsothe it was don after these thingis, Benadab, king of Sirie, gaderide alle his oost, and stiede, and bisegide Samarie.
25 Nu sia na dɔ to le Samaria du la me. Esi dɔwuame sia nɔ anyi ɣeyiɣi didi aɖe ta la, tedzi ƒe ta xɔ klosaloga blaenyi eye sabala kpo ɖeka gɔ̃ hã xɔ klosaloga atɔ̃.
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.
26 Gbe ɖeka esime Israel fia nɔ tsa ɖim to dua ƒe gli dzi la, nyɔnu aɖe yɔe, gblɔ nɛ be, “Kpe ɖe ŋunye, nye aƒetɔ kple nye fia!”
And whanne the kyng of Israel passide bi the wal, sum womman criede to hym, and seide, My lord the kyng, saue thou me.
27 Fia la gblɔ nɛ be, “Ne Yehowa mekpe ɖe ŋuwò o ɖe, nu ka nye, amegbetɔ mate ŋu awɔ? Nuɖuɖu alo wain mele asinye mana wò o.
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?
28 Gbã la, nya kae dzɔ?” Nyɔnu la ɖo eŋu be, “Nyɔnu sia gblɔ nam be míaɖa vinye ŋutsuvi aɖu eye le ŋkeke bubu dzi la, míaɖa ye hã ƒe viŋutsuvi aɖu.
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.
29 Ale míeɖa vinye ɖu, ke esi ŋu ke megblɔ nɛ be ‘Wò hã, wu viwò míaɖa ɖu egbe’ la, etsɔ via ɣla!”
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.
30 Esi fia la se nya sia la, edze eƒe awuwo. Amewo de dzesii to afi si eƒe awuwo dze le la be edo akpanyawu ɖe awu si wòdze la te.
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.
31 Fia la ka atam be, “Mawu nefiam, wòagafiam ɖe edzi vevie ne Elisa, Safat ƒe viŋutsu la, ƒe ta aganɔ eƒe kɔ nu egbe.”
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.
32 Elisa nɔ takpekpe me kple Israel ƒe ametsitsiwo le eƒe aƒe me. Fia la ɖo ame ɖa be woakplɔe vɛ. Ke hafi ame dɔdɔ la nava ɖo la, Elisa gblɔ na ametsitsiawo be, “Amewula sia ɖo ame aɖe ɖa be wòawum. Ne ame dɔdɔ la va ɖo la, mitu ʋɔa ɖe enu wòatsi ʋɔa godo elabena eƒe aƒetɔ akplɔe ɖo enumake.”
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.
33 Elisa mekpɔ ɖe nu le nya sia me hafi ame dɔdɔ la va do o. Fia la hã va do! Fia la gblɔ be, “Yehowae he dzɔgbevɔ̃e siawo katã vɛ. Nu ka ta makpɔ mɔ na kpekpeɖeŋu aɖe tso egbɔ?”
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?
