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.’”
Elisha said, “Hear the word of Yahweh. This is what Yahweh says: 'Tomorrow about this time a measure of fine flour will be sold for a shekel, and two measures 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 the captain on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God, and said, “See, even if Yahweh should make windows in heaven, can this thing happen?” Elisha replied, “See, you will watch it happen with your own eyes, but you will not eat any of it.”
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?
Now there were four men with leprosy right outside the city gate. They said one to another, “Why should we sit 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 that we should go into the city, then the famine is in the city, and we will die there. But if we still sit here, we will still die. Now then, come, let us go to the army of the Arameans. If they keep us alive, we will live, and if they kill us, we will only 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
So they rose up at twilight to go into the Aramean camp; when they arrived at the outermost part of the camp, there was no one 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 made the Aramean army hear a noise of chariots, and a noise of horses—the noise of another large army, and they said to each other, “The king of Israel has hired the kings of the Hittites and Egyptians 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.
So the soldiers arose and fled in the twilight; they left their tents, their horses, their donkeys, and the camp as it was, and fled for their lives.
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.
When the men with leprosy came to the outermost part of the camp, they went into one tent and ate and drank, and carried away silver and gold and clothes, and went and hid them. They came back and entered into another tent and carried plunder away from there also, 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.”
Then they said each other, “We are not doing right. This day is a day of good news, but we are keeping quiet about it. If we wait until daybreak, punishment will overtake us. Now then, come, let us go and tell the king's household.”
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 the gatekeepers of the city. They told them, saying, “We went to the camp of the Arameans, but there was no one there, not the sound of anyone, but there were the horses tied, and the donkeys tied, and the tents as they were.”
11 Ale agbonudzɔlawo do ɣli gblɔ nya la na ame siwo nɔ fiasã la me.
Then the gatekeepers shouted out the news, and then it was told inside the king's household.
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.”
Then the king arose at night and said to his servants, “I will tell you now what the Arameans have done to us. They know that we are hungry, so they have gone out of the camp to hide themselves in the fields. They are saying, 'When they come out of the city, we will take them alive, and get 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.”
One of the king's servants answered and said, “I beg you, let some men take five of the horses that remain, which are left in the city. They are like all the rest of the population of Israel who are left—most are now dead; let us send them and see.”
14 Wodi tasiaɖamŋusɔ ene eye fia la ɖo tasiaɖamŋusɔdola eve ɖa be woakpɔ afi si Siriatɔwo yi.
So they took two chariots with horses, and the king sent them after the army of the Arameans, 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.
They went after them to the Jordan, and all the road was full of clothes and equipment that the Arameans had cast away in their hurry. So the messengers returned and told 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.
The people went out and plundered the camp of the Arameans. So a measure of fine flour was sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, just as the word of Yahweh had said.
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.
The king had ordered the captain on whose hand he had leaned to be in charge of the gate, and the people trampled him down in the gateway. He died as the man of God had said, who spoke when the king had come 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.”
So it happened as the man of God had said to the king, saying, “About this time in the gate of Samaria, two measures of barley will be available for a shekel, and a measure of fine flour for a shekel.”
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 captain had answered the man of God and said, “See, even if Yahweh should make windows in heaven, can this thing happen?” Elisha had said, “See, you will watch it happen with your own eyes, but you will not eat any of it.”
20 Nyateƒe, mete ŋu ɖu ɖeke o elabena wolɔe ƒu anyi, zɔ edzi, wòku le agboa nu!
That is what exactly what happened to him, for the people trampled him in the gate, and he died.
