Βασιλειῶν Δʹ 7
1 καὶ εἶπεν Ελισαιε ἄκουσον λόγον κυρίου τάδε λέγει κύριος ὡς ἡ ὥρα αὕτη αὔριον μέτρον σεμιδάλεως σίκλου καὶ δίμετρον κριθῶν σίκλου ἐν ταῖς πύλαις Σαμαρείας
Elisha akasema, “Sikiliza neno la Bwana. Hivi ndivyo asemavyo Bwana: Wakati kama huu kesho, kipimo kimoja cha unga mzuri kitauzwa kwa shekeli moja ya fedha, na vibaba viwili vya shayiri kwa shekeli moja ya fedha katika lango la Samaria.”
2 καὶ ἀπεκρίθη ὁ τριστάτης ἐφ’ ὃν ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐπανεπαύετο ἐπὶ τὴν χεῖρα αὐτοῦ τῷ Ελισαιε καὶ εἶπεν ἰδοὺ ποιήσει κύριος καταρράκτας ἐν οὐρανῷ μὴ ἔσται τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο καὶ Ελισαιε εἶπεν ἰδοὺ σὺ ὄψῃ τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς σου καὶ ἐκεῖθεν οὐ φάγῃ
Yule afisa ambaye mfalme alikuwa anauegemea mkono wake akamwambia yule mtu wa Mungu, “Tazama, hata kama Bwana atafungua madirisha ya mbinguni, je, jambo hili litawezekana?” Elisha akajibu, “Utaona kwa macho yako mwenyewe, lakini wewe hutakula chochote kati ya hivyo!”
3 καὶ τέσσαρες ἄνδρες ἦσαν λεπροὶ παρὰ τὴν θύραν τῆς πόλεως καὶ εἶπεν ἀνὴρ πρὸς τὸν πλησίον αὐτοῦ τί ἡμεῖς καθήμεθα ὧδε ἕως ἀποθάνωμεν
Basi kulikuwepo na watu wanne wenye ukoma katika ingilio la lango la mji. Wakaambiana, “Kwa nini tukae hapa mpaka tufe?
4 ἐὰν εἴπωμεν εἰσέλθωμεν εἰς τὴν πόλιν καὶ ὁ λιμὸς ἐν τῇ πόλει καὶ ἀποθανούμεθα ἐκεῖ καὶ ἐὰν καθίσωμεν ὧδε καὶ ἀποθανούμεθα καὶ νῦν δεῦτε καὶ ἐμπέσωμεν εἰς τὴν παρεμβολὴν Συρίας ἐὰν ζωογονήσωσιν ἡμᾶς καὶ ζησόμεθα καὶ ἐὰν θανατώσωσιν ἡμᾶς καὶ ἀποθανούμεθα
Kama tukisema, ‘Tutaingia mjini,’ mjini kuna njaa, nasi tutakufa humo. Kama tukikaa hapa, tutakufa. Kwa hiyo twende kwenye kambi ya Waaramu na tujisalimishe. Kama wakituacha hai, tutaishi; kama wakituua, basi na tufe.”
5 καὶ ἀνέστησαν ἐν τῷ σκότει εἰσελθεῖν εἰς τὴν παρεμβολὴν Συρίας καὶ ἦλθον εἰς μέρος τῆς παρεμβολῆς Συρίας καὶ ἰδοὺ οὐκ ἔστιν ἀνὴρ ἐκεῖ
Wakati wa giza la jioni, wakaondoka na kwenda kwenye kambi ya Waaramu. Walipofika mwanzo wa kambi, hapakuwa na mtu,
6 καὶ κύριος ἀκουστὴν ἐποίησεν τὴν παρεμβολὴν Συρίας φωνὴν ἅρματος καὶ φωνὴν ἵππου καὶ φωνὴν δυνάμεως μεγάλης καὶ εἶπεν ἀνὴρ πρὸς τὸν ἀδελφὸν αὐτοῦ νῦν ἐμισθώσατο ἐφ’ ἡμᾶς βασιλεὺς Ισραηλ τοὺς βασιλέας τῶν Χετταίων καὶ τοὺς βασιλέας Αἰγύπτου τοῦ ἐλθεῖν ἐφ’ ἡμᾶς
kwa kuwa Bwana alilifanya jeshi la Waaramu lisikie sauti kama ya magari ya vita, farasi na jeshi kubwa, kiasi kwamba waliambiana, “Tazama, mfalme wa Israeli ameajiri mfalme wa Wahiti na mfalme wa Wamisri kuja kutushambulia sisi!”
7 καὶ ἀνέστησαν καὶ ἀπέδρασαν ἐν τῷ σκότει καὶ ἐγκατέλιπαν τὰς σκηνὰς αὐτῶν καὶ τοὺς ἵππους αὐτῶν καὶ τοὺς ὄνους αὐτῶν ἐν τῇ παρεμβολῇ ὡς ἔστιν καὶ ἔφυγον πρὸς τὴν ψυχὴν ἑαυτῶν
Kwa hiyo wakaondoka na kukimbia wakati wa giza la jioni na kuacha mahema yao, farasi wao na punda wao. Wakakimbia kuokoa maisha yao na kuacha kila kitu ndani ya kambi kama kilivyokuwa.
8 καὶ εἰσῆλθον οἱ λεπροὶ οὗτοι ἕως μέρους τῆς παρεμβολῆς καὶ εἰσῆλθον εἰς σκηνὴν μίαν καὶ ἔφαγον καὶ ἔπιον καὶ ἦραν ἐκεῖθεν ἀργύριον καὶ χρυσίον καὶ ἱματισμὸν καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν καὶ ἐπέστρεψαν καὶ εἰσῆλθον εἰς σκηνὴν ἄλλην καὶ ἔλαβον ἐκεῖθεν καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν καὶ κατέκρυψαν
Wale watu wenye ukoma walipofika mwanzoni mwa kambi, wakaingia kwenye mojawapo ya mahema. Wakala na kunywa, na kuchukua fedha, dhahabu na nguo, wakaenda kuvificha. Wakarudi na kuingia katika hema jingine, na kuchukua baadhi ya vitu kutoka ndani yake na kuvificha pia.
9 καὶ εἶπεν ἀνὴρ πρὸς τὸν πλησίον αὐτοῦ οὐχ οὕτως ἡμεῖς ποιοῦμεν ἡ ἡμέρα αὕτη ἡμέρα εὐαγγελίας ἐστίν καὶ ἡμεῖς σιωπῶμεν καὶ μένομεν ἕως φωτὸς τοῦ πρωὶ καὶ εὑρήσομεν ἀνομίαν καὶ νῦν δεῦρο καὶ εἰσέλθωμεν καὶ ἀναγγείλωμεν εἰς τὸν οἶκον τοῦ βασιλέως
Kisha wakaambiana, “Hili tunalolifanya sio jema. Hii ni siku ya habari njema, nasi tunakaa kimya. Kama tukisubiri mpaka mapambazuko, maafa yatatupata. Twendeni mara moja tukatoe habari hizi katika jumba la mfalme.”
10 καὶ εἰσῆλθον καὶ ἐβόησαν πρὸς τὴν πύλην τῆς πόλεως καὶ ἀνήγγειλαν αὐτοῖς λέγοντες εἰσήλθομεν εἰς τὴν παρεμβολὴν Συρίας καὶ ἰδοὺ οὐκ ἔστιν ἐκεῖ ἀνὴρ καὶ φωνὴ ἀνθρώπου ὅτι εἰ μὴ ἵππος δεδεμένος καὶ ὄνος καὶ αἱ σκηναὶ αὐτῶν ὡς εἰσίν
Hivyo wakaenda mjini na kuwaita walinzi wa langoni, wakawaambia, “Tulikwenda katika kambi ya Waaramu lakini hapakuwepo na mtu huko, hata sauti ya mtu yeyote, ila farasi na punda waliofungwa na mahema yaliyoachwa kama yalivyokuwa.”
11 καὶ ἐβόησαν οἱ θυρωροὶ καὶ ἀνήγγειλαν εἰς τὸν οἶκον τοῦ βασιλέως ἔσω
Walinzi wa langoni wakatangaza habari ile kwa sauti kuu, na taarifa hii ikatolewa ndani ya jumba la mfalme.
12 καὶ ἀνέστη ὁ βασιλεὺς νυκτὸς καὶ εἶπεν πρὸς τοὺς παῖδας αὐτοῦ ἀναγγελῶ δὴ ὑμῖν ἃ ἐποίησεν ἡμῖν Συρία ἔγνωσαν ὅτι πεινῶμεν ἡμεῖς καὶ ἐξῆλθαν ἐκ τῆς παρεμβολῆς καὶ ἐκρύβησαν ἐν τῷ ἀγρῷ λέγοντες ὅτι ἐξελεύσονται ἐκ τῆς πόλεως καὶ συλλημψόμεθα αὐτοὺς ζῶντας καὶ εἰς τὴν πόλιν εἰσελευσόμεθα
Mfalme akaamka usiku na kuwaambia maafisa wake, “Nitawaambia kile Waaramu walichotufanyia. Wanajua kwamba tuna njaa, hivyo wameacha kambi yao ili kujificha mashambani, wakifikiri, ‘Kwa hakika watatoka nje ya mji, nasi tutawakamata wakiwa hai na kuingia ndani ya mji.’”
13 καὶ ἀπεκρίθη εἷς τῶν παίδων αὐτοῦ καὶ εἶπεν λαβέτωσαν δὴ πέντε τῶν ἵππων τῶν ὑπολελειμμένων οἳ κατελείφθησαν ὧδε ἰδού εἰσιν πρὸς πᾶν τὸ πλῆθος Ισραηλ τὸ ἐκλεῖπον καὶ ἀποστελοῦμεν ἐκεῖ καὶ ὀψόμεθα
Mmoja wa maafisa wake akajibu, “Waamuru watu wachache wakawachukue farasi watano kati ya wale waliobaki katika mji. Hatima yao itakuwa kama ya Waisraeli wote walio hapa. Watakuwa tu kama Waisraeli hawa ambao wanangoja kifo. Hivyo tuwatumeni wajue kumetendeka nini.”
14 καὶ ἔλαβον δύο ἐπιβάτας ἵππων καὶ ἀπέστειλεν ὁ βασιλεὺς Ισραηλ ὀπίσω τοῦ βασιλέως Συρίας λέγων δεῦτε καὶ ἴδετε
Ndipo wakachagua magari mawili ya vita pamoja na farasi wake, naye mfalme akawatuma wafuatilie jeshi la Waaramu. Akawaamuru waendeshaji akisema, “Nendeni mkaone ni nini kilichotokea.”
15 καὶ ἐπορεύθησαν ὀπίσω αὐτῶν ἕως τοῦ Ιορδάνου καὶ ἰδοὺ πᾶσα ἡ ὁδὸς πλήρης ἱματίων καὶ σκευῶν ὧν ἔρριψεν Συρία ἐν τῷ θαμβεῖσθαι αὐτούς καὶ ἐπέστρεψαν οἱ ἄγγελοι καὶ ἀνήγγειλαν τῷ βασιλεῖ
Wakawafuatia hadi Yordani, nao wakakuta barabara yote ikiwa imetapakaa nguo na vyombo vya Waaramu walivyokuwa wamevitupa walipokuwa wanatoroka. Basi wale wajumbe wakarudi na kutoa taarifa kwa mfalme.
16 καὶ ἐξῆλθεν ὁ λαὸς καὶ διήρπασεν τὴν παρεμβολὴν Συρίας καὶ ἐγένετο μέτρον σεμιδάλεως σίκλου καὶ δίμετρον κριθῶν σίκλου κατὰ τὸ ῥῆμα κυρίου
Kisha watu wakatoka na kuteka nyara kambi ya Waaramu. Kwa hiyo kipimo cha unga mzuri kikauzwa kwa shekeli, na vipimo viwili vya shayiri kwa shekeli, kama vile Bwana alivyokuwa amesema.
17 καὶ ὁ βασιλεὺς κατέστησεν τὸν τριστάτην ἐφ’ ὃν ὁ βασιλεὺς ἐπανεπαύετο ἐπὶ τῇ χειρὶ αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ τῆς πύλης καὶ συνεπάτησεν αὐτὸν ὁ λαὸς ἐν τῇ πύλῃ καὶ ἀπέθανεν καθὰ ἐλάλησεν ὁ ἄνθρωπος τοῦ θεοῦ ὃς ἐλάλησεν ἐν τῷ καταβῆναι τὸν ἄγγελον πρὸς αὐτόν
Basi mfalme alikuwa amemweka yule afisa ambaye mfalme alikuwa anauegemea mkono wake awe msimamizi wa lango. Nao watu wakamkanyaga walipoingia langoni, naye akafa, kama vile mtu wa Mungu alivyokuwa ametangulia kusema wakati mfalme alipofika nyumbani kwake.
18 καὶ ἐγένετο καθὰ ἐλάλησεν Ελισαιε πρὸς τὸν βασιλέα λέγων Δίμετρον κριθῆς σίκλου καὶ μέτρον σεμιδάλεως σίκλου καὶ ἔσται ὡς ἡ ὥρα αὕτη αὔριον ἐν τῇ πύλῃ Σαμαρείας
Ikatokea kama vile mtu wa Mungu alivyokuwa amemwambia mfalme: “Wakati kama huu kesho, kipimo kimoja cha unga mzuri kitauzwa kwa shekeli moja ya fedha, na vibaba viwili vya shayiri kwa shekeli moja ya fedha katika lango la Samaria.”
19 καὶ ἀπεκρίθη ὁ τριστάτης τῷ Ελισαιε καὶ εἶπεν ἰδοὺ κύριος ποιεῖ καταρράκτας ἐν τῷ οὐρανῷ μὴ ἔσται τὸ ῥῆμα τοῦτο καὶ εἶπεν Ελισαιε ἰδοὺ ὄψῃ τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς σου καὶ ἐκεῖθεν οὐ φάγῃ
Yule afisa alikuwa amemwambia yule mtu wa Mungu, “Tazama, hata kama Bwana atafungua madirisha ya mbinguni, je, jambo hili litawezekana?” Naye yule mtu wa Mungu alikuwa amemjibu, “Utaona kwa macho yako mwenyewe, lakini wewe hutakula chochote kati ya hivyo!”
20 καὶ ἐγένετο οὕτως καὶ συνεπάτησεν αὐτὸν ὁ λαὸς ἐν τῇ πύλῃ καὶ ἀπέθανεν
Ndivyo hasa ilivyotokea kwake, kwa kuwa watu walimkanyaga langoni, naye akafa.
