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.’”
And Elisha says, “Hear a word of YHWH! Thus said YHWH: About this time tomorrow, a measure of fine flour [is] at a shekel, and two measures of barley at 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.”
And the captain whom the king has, by whose hand he has been supported, answers the man of God and says, “Behold, YHWH is making windows in the heavens—will this thing be?” And he says, “Behold, you are seeing it with your eyes, and you do not eat thereof.”
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 four men have been leprous at the opening of the gate, and they say to one another, “Why are we sitting here until we have died?
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 have said, We go into 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 go down to the camp of Aram; if they keep us alive, we live, and if they put us to death—we have died.”
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 rise in the twilight, to go to the camp of Aram, and they come to the extremity of the camp of Aram, and behold, there is not a 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!”
seeing YHWH has caused the camp of Aram to hear a noise of chariot and a noise of horse—a noise of great force, and they say to one another, “Behold, the king of Israel has hired against us the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of Egypt, to come against 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 rise and flee in the twilight, and forsake their tents, and their horses, and their donkeys—the camp as it [is]—and flee 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 these lepers come to the extremity of the camp, and come into one tent, and eat, and drink, and lift up silver, and gold, and garments from there, and go and hide; and they turn back and go into another tent, and lift up from there, and go and hide.
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 they say to one another, “We are not doing right this day; it [is] a day of tidings, and we are keeping silent; and we have waited until the morning light, then punishment has found us; and now, come and we go in and declare [it] to the house of the king.”
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.”
And they come in, and call to the gatekeeper of the city, and declare for themselves, saying, “We have come to the camp of Aram, and behold, there is no man or sound of man there, but the bound horse, and the bound donkey, and tents as they [are].”
11 Ale agbonudzɔlawo do ɣli gblɔ nya la na ame siwo nɔ fiasã la me.
And he calls the gatekeepers, and they declare [it] to the house of the king 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 rises by night and says to his servants, “Now let me declare to you that which the Arameans have done to us; they have known that we are famished, and they go out from the camp to be hidden in the field, saying, When they come out from the city, then we catch them alive, and we 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 answers and says, “Then please let them take five of the horses that are left, that have been left in it—behold, they [are] as all the multitude of Israel who have been left in it; behold, they are as all the multitude of Israel who have been consumed—and we send and see.”
14 Wodi tasiaɖamŋusɔ ene eye fia la ɖo tasiaɖamŋusɔdola eve ɖa be woakpɔ afi si Siriatɔwo yi.
And they take two chariot-horses, and the king sends [them] after the camp of Aram, 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 go after them to the Jordan, and behold, all the way is full of garments and vessels that the Arameans have cast away in their haste, and the messengers return and declare [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 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 YHWH.
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 has appointed the captain, by whose hand he is supported, over the gate, and the people tread him down in the gate, and he dies, as the man of God spoke, which he spoke in the coming down of the king 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.”
indeed, it comes to pass, according to the speaking of the man of God to the king, saying, “Two measures of barley at a shekel, and a measure of fine flour at a shekel are, at 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.”
and the captain answers the man of God and says, “And behold, YHWH is making windows in the heavens—will this thing be?” And he says, “Behold, you are seeing it with your eyes, and you do not eat thereof”;
20 Nyateƒe, mete ŋu ɖu ɖeke o elabena wolɔe ƒu anyi, zɔ edzi, wòku le agboa nu!
and it comes to him so, and the people tread him down in the gate, and he dies.
