2 Athamaki 7
1 Elisha akiuga atĩrĩ, “Thikĩrĩria kiugo kĩa Jehova. Jehova ekuuga ũũ: Ihinda ta rĩĩrĩ rũciũ-rĩ, kĩbaba kĩmwe kĩa mũtu mũhinyu gĩkeendio cekeri ĩmwe, nacio ibaba igĩrĩ cia cairi ikeendio cekeri ĩmwe hau kĩhingo-inĩ gĩa Samaria.”
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.'
2 Nake mũnene ũrĩa wateithagia mũthamaki akĩĩra mũndũ wa Ngai atĩrĩ, “O na Jehova angĩhingũra ndirica cia igũrũ-rĩ, ũndũ ũcio wahoteka?” Nake Elisha akĩmũcookeria atĩrĩ, “Nĩũkawona na maitho maku, no ndũkaarĩa o na kĩ!”
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.'
3 Na rĩrĩ, nĩ kwarĩ na andũ ana maarũarĩte mangũ, maaikaraga itoonyero-inĩ rĩa kĩhingo gĩa itũũra inene. Makĩĩrana atĩrĩ, “Nĩ kĩĩ gĩgũtũma tũikare haha nginya tũkue?
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;
4 Tũngiuga atĩrĩ, ‘Nĩtũgũthiĩ thĩinĩ wa itũũra,’ o nakuo kũrĩ na ngʼaragu, na no tũgũkua. Na tũngĩikara haha, no tũgũkua. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio rekei tũthiĩ kũu kambĩ-inĩ ya Asuriata, twĩneane kũrĩĩo. Mangĩtũhonokia, tũgĩtũũre muoyo; mangĩtũũraga, tũgĩkue.”
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.'
5 Hwaĩ-inĩ gũkĩira magĩũkĩra, magĩthiĩ kambĩ-inĩ ya Asuriata. Nao maakinya nyumĩrĩra ya kambĩ, magĩkora gũtiarĩ mũndũ o na ũmwe kuo,
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,
6 nĩgũkorwo Jehova nĩatũmĩte andũ a ita rĩa Asuriata maigue mũkubio wa ngaari cia ita, na wa mbarathi, na wa mbũtũ nene; nĩ ũndũ ũcio makĩĩrana atĩrĩ, “Atĩrĩrĩ, mũthamaki wa Isiraeli nĩakomborete athamaki a Ahiti na a Misiri nĩguo matũtharĩkĩre!”
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.'
7 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio magĩũkĩra, makĩũra hwaĩ-inĩ na mairia, magĩtiga hema ciao, o na mbarathi, na ndigiri. Magĩtiga kambĩ o ro ũguo yarĩ, na makĩũra nĩguo mahonokie mĩoyo yao.
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.
8 Andũ arĩa maarĩ na mangũ magĩkinya nyumĩrĩra ya kambĩ, na magĩtoonya hema-inĩ ĩmwe. Makĩrĩa na makĩnyua, na magĩkuua betha, na thahabu, o na nguo, magĩthiĩ magĩcihitha. Magĩcooka rĩngĩ magĩtoonya hema ĩngĩ, makĩoya indo iria ciarĩ kuo o nacio magĩcihitha.
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.
9 Magĩcooka makĩĩrana atĩrĩ, “Rĩu tũtireka wega. Mũthenya ũyũ nĩ wa kũheana ũhoro mwega, na ithuĩ no gũkira tũkirĩte naguo. Tũngĩeterera nginya gũkĩe, no tũherithio. Rekei tũthiĩ o ro rĩu, tũkaheane ũhoro ũyũ nyũmba-inĩ ya mũthamaki.”
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.'
10 Nao magĩthiĩ magĩĩta arangĩri a ihingo cia itũũra, makĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Nĩtũgũthiĩte kambĩ-inĩ ya Asuriata, na gũtirĩ mũndũ ũrĩ kuo, gũtirĩ o na mũgambo wa mũndũ, no mbarathi na ndigiri ciohetwo, nacio hema igatigwo o ro ũrĩa ciatariĩ.”
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].'
11 Nao arangĩri a ihingo makĩanĩrĩra ũhoro ũcio, naguo ũgĩkinyĩra nyũmba ya mũthamaki.
and he calleth the gatekeepers, and they declare to the house of the king within.
12 Nake mũthamaki agĩũkĩra ũtukũ, na akĩĩra anene ake atĩrĩ, “Nĩngũmwĩra ũrĩa Asuriata matwĩkĩte. Nĩmamenyete tũrĩ na ngʼaragu, nĩ ũndũ ũcio nĩkĩo matigĩte kambĩ, makeehitha kũu gĩthaka-inĩ, magĩĩciiria atĩrĩ, ‘Ti-itherũ nĩmekuuma itũũra-inĩ na hĩndĩ ĩyo tũmanyiite mĩgwate marĩ muoyo na tũtoonye itũũra-inĩ inene.’”
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.'
13 Nake ũmwe wa anene ake agĩcookia atĩrĩ, “Tũma andũ amwe mathiĩ na mbarathi ithano iria itigaire itũũra-inĩ. Ũhoro wao githĩ ndũgũkĩhaana o ta wa Isiraeli othe arĩa marĩ gũkũ thĩinĩ. Ĩĩ-ni, megũkorwo mahaana o ta Isiraeli aya othe makiriĩ gũthira. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio reke tũmatũme magatuĩrie ũrĩa kũhaana.”
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.'
14 Nĩ ũndũ ũcio magĩthuura ngaari igĩrĩ cia ita na mbarathi ciacio, nake mũthamaki akĩmatũma marũmĩrĩre mbũtũ cia ita cia Asuriata. Nake agĩatha atwarithia akĩmeera atĩrĩ, “Thiĩ mũgatuĩrie ũrĩa kũhaana.”
And they take two chariot-horses, and the king sendeth after the camp of Aram, saying, 'Go, and see.'
15 Makĩmarũmĩrĩra o nginya Jorodani, magĩkora njĩra ĩiyũrĩte nguo na indo iria Asuriata maatete marĩ ihenya-inĩ makĩũra. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio andũ arĩa maatũmĩtwo makĩhũndũka na magĩcookeria mũthamaki ũhoro ũcio.
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.
16 Hĩndĩ ĩyo andũ makiumagara, magĩthiĩ na magĩtaha indo kambĩ-inĩ ya Asuriata. Nĩ ũndũ ũcio kĩbaba kĩmwe kĩa mũtu kĩendagio cekeri ĩmwe, na ibaba igĩrĩ cia cairi ciendagio cekeri ĩmwe o ta ũrĩa Jehova oigĩte.
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.
17 Na rĩrĩ, mũthamaki aigĩte mũnene ũrĩa wamũteithagia akorwo arĩ mũrũgamĩrĩri wa kĩhingo, nao andũ makĩmũrangĩrĩria hau kĩhingo-inĩ, agĩkua, o ta ũrĩa mũndũ wa Ngai oigĩte rĩrĩa mũthamaki aathiĩte gwake mũciĩ.
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,
18 Ũndũ ũcio wekĩkire o ta ũrĩa mũndũ wa Ngai eerĩte mũthamaki: “Ihinda o ta rĩĩrĩ rũciũ, kĩbaba kĩmwe kĩa mũtu gĩkeendio cekeri ĩmwe, nacio ibaba igĩrĩ cia cairi ikeendio cekeri ĩmwe kĩhingo-inĩ gĩa Samaria.”
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;'
19 Mũnene ũcio eerĩte mũndũ wa Ngai atĩrĩ, “O na Jehova angĩhingũra ndirica cia igũrũ-rĩ, ũndũ ũcio wahoteka?” Nake mũndũ wa Ngai aamũcookeirie atĩrĩ, “Nĩũkawona na maitho maku, no ndũkaarĩa o na kĩ!”
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;'
20 Ũguo noguo gwekĩkire kũrĩ mũnene ũcio, nĩgũkorwo andũ maamũrangĩrĩirie hau kĩhingo-inĩ, agĩkua.
and it cometh to him so, and the people tread him down in the gate, and he dieth.
