Fiawo 2 7
1 Elisa gblɔ be, “Mise Yehowa ƒe gbe. Ale Yehowa gblɔe nye esi, ‘Etsɔ ɣe aleawo ɣi la, wɔ gram wuieve axɔ klosaloga kilogram blaetɔ̃-vɔ-ene eye lu gram blaeve-vɔ-ene axɔ klosaloga kilogram blaetɔ̃-vɔ-ene le Samaria ƒe agbo nu.’”
Then said Elisha', Hear ye the word of the Lord: Thus hath said the Lord, About this time tomorrow a seah of fine flour shall be sold for a shekel, and two seahs of barley for a shekel, in the gate of Samaria.
2 Ke dumegã si ƒe abɔ ŋu fia la ziɔ ɖo la gblɔ na Mawu ƒe ame la be, “Ne Yehowa aʋu dziƒo ƒe agbowo gɔ̃ hã la, ɖe nu sia ate ŋu ava mea?” Ke Elisa gblɔ nɛ be, “Àkpɔe wòava eme nenema pɛpɛpɛ, ke màɖu ɖeke o.”
Then answered the lord of the king, on whose hand he used to lean, the man of God, and said, Behold, will the Lord make windows in the heavens, that this thing shall be? And he said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thy eyes, but thereof shalt thou not eat.
3 Anyidzela ene aɖewo nɔ anyi ɖe dua ƒe agbowo godo. Wobia wo nɔewo be, “Nu ka ta míanɔ anyi ɖe afi sia va se ɖe esime míaku?
And there were four leprous men at the entrance of the gate: and they said one to another, Why do we remain here until we die?
4 Ne míegblɔ be, ‘Míayi dua me’ la, dɔwuame le afi ma ana míaku, ke ne míetsi afi sia hã la, míaku eya ta mina míayi Aramtɔwo ƒe asaɖa me eye míatsɔ mía ɖokuiwo ade asi na wo. Ne wokpɔ nublanui na mí la, míanɔ agbe, ke ne wowu mí la, ɖe míekue nye ema.”
If we say, We will enter into the city, then is the famine in the city, and we shall die there; and if we remain here, we die [also]: now therefore come, and let us go over unto the camp of the Syrians; if they will let us live, we shall live; and if they kill us, we shall but die.
5 Esi fiẽ ɖo la, wotsi tsitre heyi Aramtɔwo ƒe asaɖa me. Esi woɖo asaɖa la ƒe gbɔto la, womekpɔ ame aɖeke le afi ma o
And they rose up in the twilight, to go unto the camp of the Syrians; and when they were come to the uttermost part of the camp of the Syrians, behold, there was no man there.
6 elabena Aƒetɔ la na Aramtɔwo se tasiaɖamwo, sɔwo kple asrafowo ƒe ha gã aɖe ƒe hoowɔwɔ ale wogblɔ na wo nɔewo be, “Kpɔ ɖa, Israel fia yi ɖatsɔ aʋa Hititɔwo kple Egiptetɔwo be woava dze mía dzi!”
For the Lord had caused the camp of the Syrians to hear a noise of chariots, and a noise of horses, the noise of a large army: and they said one to the other, Lo, the king of Israel hath hired against us the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of the Egyptians, to come upon us.
7 Ale wotsi tsitre hesi, esi anyigba de asi tsyɔtsyɔ̃ me eye wogblẽ woƒe agbadɔwo kple sɔwo kple tedziwo ɖi. Ale wogblẽ asaɖa la ɖi nenema eye wosi dzo be woaɖe yewoƒe agbe.
And they were arisen and fled in the twilight, and had left their tents, and their horses, and their asses, the camp as it was, and fled for their life.
8 Anyidzelawo ɖo asaɖa la ƒe mɔnu eye woge ɖe agbadɔwo dometɔ ɖeka me. Woɖu nu, no nu, lɔ klosalo, sika kple awuwo eye woyi ɖaɣla wo. Wotrɔ gbɔ hege ɖe agbadɔ bubu me, fɔ nanewo hã le afi ma eye woyi ɖaɣla woawo hã.
And so came these lepers to the uttermost part of the camp, and they went into one tent, and ate and drank, and carried away thence silver, and gold, and garments, and went and hid them; and they returned, and entered into another tent, and carried away [something] thence, and went and hid it.
9 Wogblɔ na wo nɔewo be, “Menye nu nyuitɔe nye esi wɔm míele o. Egbee nye nya nyui segbe eye míawo ɖeɖe gbɔ ko wòtsi. Ne míelala va se ɖe esime ŋu ke la, tohehe ava mía dzi eya ta mina míayi zi ɖeka aɖaka nya sia ta na fiasãmetɔwo.”
And then they said one to the other, We do not act correctly; this day is a day of good tidings; and if we remain silent, and tarry till the morning-light, we shall incur guilt: now then come, and let us go and tell it at the king's house.
10 Ale wotrɔ yi dua me ɖagblɔ nya si dzɔ la na agbonudzɔlawo be, “Míede Siriatɔwo ƒe aʋakɔ ƒe asaɖa me, eye ame aɖeke menɔ afi ma o! Wode ka woƒe sɔwo kple tedziwo, nu sia nu nɔ eteƒe le asaɖa la me gake ame aɖeke kura menɔ asaɖa la me o.”
So they went and called unto one of the gate-keepers of the city, and they told them, saying, We came to the camp of the Syrians, and, behold, there was no man there, nor the voice of man; but the horses were tied, and the asses were tied, and the tents as they had been.
11 Ale agbonudzɔlawo do ɣli gblɔ nya la na ame siwo nɔ fiasã la me.
And he called the gate-keepers; and they told it at the king's house within.
12 Fia la fɔ eye wògblɔ na aʋakplɔlawo be, “Menya nu si dzɔ, Siriatɔwo nya be dɔ to le míaƒe anyigba dzi, ale wodzo le woƒe asaɖa la me ɖabe ɖe gbedzi be yewoable mí míado le dua me, ekema yewoadze mía dzi, aɖe aboyo mí eye yewoage ɖe dua me.”
And the king arose in the night, and said unto his servants, I can easily tell you what the Syrians have done to us: they know that we are hungry; and they are therefore gone out of the camp to hide themselves in the field, saying, If they should come out of the city, we will catch them alive, and enter into the city.
13 Aʋakplɔlawo dometɔ ɖeka gblɔ be, “Anyo be míaɖo ŋkutsalawo ɖa woayi aɖakpɔ afi ma ɖa. Mina woatsɔ sɔ siwo susɔ ɖe dua me la dometɔ atɔ̃, ɖewohĩ ava me na wo abe Israel ƒe ameha blibo, si kpɔtɔ la ene, alo ava me na wo abe Israel ƒe ameha blibo, si ku la ene; esia ta na míadɔ ame woaɖakpɔe ɖa.”
And one of his servants answered and said, Let some take, I pray thee, five of the horses that remain, which are left in the city, let it fare with them as with all the multitude of Israel that are left in it, [or] let it fare with them as with all the multitude of Israel that have perished: and let us send out and see.
14 Wodi tasiaɖamŋusɔ ene eye fia la ɖo tasiaɖamŋusɔdola eve ɖa be woakpɔ afi si Siriatɔwo yi.
And they took two chariots with horses; and the king sent after the camp of the Syrians, saying, Go and see.
15 Wodze awu kple nu siwo Siriatɔwo tsɔ ƒu gbe ɖi le esime wonɔ sisim la yome va se ɖe esime wova ɖo Yɔdan tɔsisi la nu. Ale ame eve siawo trɔ va gblɔ nu si wokpɔ la na fia la.
And they went after them as far as the Jordan; and, lo, the whole way was full of garments and vessels, which the Syrians had cast away in their haste: and the messengers returned, and told it to the king.
16 Tete ameawo do go le Samaria dua me yi ɖaha nuwo le Aramtɔwo ƒe asaɖa me. Ale wɔ gram wuieve xɔ klosaloga kilogram blaetɔ̃-vɔ-ene eye lu gram blaeve-vɔ-ene xɔ klosaloga kilogram blaetɔ̃-vɔ-ene le Yehowa ƒe nya nu.
And the people went out, and plundered the camp of the Syrians: and a seah of fine flour was to be had for a shekel, and two seahs of barley for a shekel, according to the word of the Lord.
17 Fia la tɔ asi dumegã si ƒe abɔ ŋu wòziɔ ɖo la dzi be wòakpɔ amewo ƒe gododo kple emevava dzi le agboa nu. Ke wolɔe ƒu anyi, zɔ edzi wòku esime ameawo nɔ dodom gidigidi tso dua me. Nu sia tututue Elisa gblɔ da ɖi le ŋkeke si do ŋgɔ na gbe ma gbe la dzi, esime fia la va be yealée.
And the king had appointed the lord on whose hand he used to lean to have the charge of the gate; and the people trod him down in the gate, and he died; as the man of God had spoken, which he spoke when the king came down to him.
18 Ale wòva va eme abe ale si Mawu ƒe ame la gblɔe na fia la ene be, “Etsɔ ɣe aleawo ɣi la, wɔ gram wuieve axɔ klosaloga kilogram blaetɔ̃-vɔ-ene eye lu gram blaeve-vɔ-ene axɔ klosaloga kilogram blaetɔ̃-vɔ-ene le Samaria ƒe agbo nu.”
And it came to pass as the man of God was speaking to the king, saying, Two seahs of barley for a shekel, and a seah of fine flour for a shekel, shall be about this time tomorrow in the gate of Samaria:
19 Fiaŋume la gblɔ be, “Ne Yehowa ŋɔ do ɖe dziƒo ŋu gɔ̃ hã la, nu sia mate ŋu ava eme o!” Eye nyagblɔɖila la gblɔ nɛ be, “Àkpɔe, wòava eme nenema, ke màɖu ɖeke o.”
That the Lord had answered the man of God, and said, Now, behold, if even the Lord were to make windows in the heavens, would such a thing be? And he had said, Behold, thou shalt see it with thy eyes, but thereof shalt thou not eat.
20 Nyateƒe, mete ŋu ɖu ɖeke o elabena wolɔe ƒu anyi, zɔ edzi, wòku le agboa nu!
And it happened unto him so; for the people trod him down in the gate, and he died.
