2 Ndị Eze 4

1 Otu ụbọchị, otu nwanyị nʼime ndị inyom ndị amụma bịakwutere Ịlaisha rịọ ya sị, “Ohu gị, bụ di m anwụọla. Ị matara na ọ na-atụ egwuOnyenwe anyị. Ma ugbu a, onye o ji ụgwọ na-abịa ịkpọrọ ụmụ m ndị ikom abụọ ime ka ha bụrụ ndị ohu ya.”

Now a wife from among the wives of the sons of the prophets cried out to Elisha, saying, "Your servant my husband is dead, and you know that your servant feared the LORD, but the creditor has come to take for himself my two children to be his slaves."

2 Ịlaisha jụrụ ya ajụjụ sị, “Gịnị ka m ga-emere gị? Gwa m, gịnị ka i nwere nʼụlọ?” Nwanyị ahụ zara sị, “O nweghị ihe ọbụla ohu gị nwanyị nwere nʼụlọ karịa naanị ntakịrị mmanụ.”

Then Elisha said to her, "What shall I do for you? Tell me, what do you have in the house?" And she said, "Your servant has nothing in the house, except a small jar of oil."

3 Ịlaisha sịrị, “Jegharịa na-ezi, gaa nata ndị agbataobi gị niile ite nke ihe ọbụla na-adịghị nʼime ya. Ha abụkwala ole na ole.

Then he said, "Go, ask for containers from outside, from all your neighbors, empty containers.

4 Mgbe ahụ, baa nʼime ụlọ, gị na ụmụ gị, mechibido onwe unu ụzọ. Malite ịgbanye mmanụ ahụ nʼime ite ahụ niile, mgbe nke ọbụla juru, bupụ ya nʼotu akụkụ.”

Then go in and shut the door behind yourself and your sons and pour into all these containers, and you are to set each one aside when it is full."

5 Nwanyị ahụ hapụrụ ya, ga mechibido onwe ya na ụmụ ya ndị ikom ụzọ. Ha na-ebutere ya ite niile ahụ nso, ebe ya onwe ya na-agbanye agbanye nʼime ha.

So she left him and shut the door behind herself and her sons; they kept bringing her containers, and she kept pouring.

6 Mgbe ọ gbajuru ite ndị ahụ niile, ọ sịrị nwa ya, “Butere m ite ọzọ.” Ma ọ zara, “O nweghị ite ọzọ fọdụrụ.” Mgbe ahụ, mmanụ ahụ kwụsịrị ịgbapụta.

Now it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said to her son, "Bring me another container." But he said to her, "There aren't any more." Then the oil stopped flowing.

7 Ọ gara gwa onye nke Chineke ahụ, onye sịrị, “Gaa, ree mmanụ ahụ, kwụkwaa ụgwọ unu ji. Gị na ụmụ gị ndị ikom were nke fọdụrụ mee mkpa dịrị unu.”

Then she came and told the man of God, and he said, "Go, sell the oil and pay your debt, and you and your sons can live on the rest."

8 Otu ụbọchị, Ịlaisha gara nʼobodo Shunem. Otu nwanyị nwere ugwu bi nʼebe ahụ. Nwanyị ahụ rịọsiri ya ike ka o rie nri. Nʼihi ya, mgbe ọbụla Ịlaisha si nʼebe ahụ gafee, ọ na-akwụsị nʼebe ahụ rie ihe.

Now it happened one day that Elisha traveled to Shunem, where there was a prominent woman, who urged him to eat some food. so whenever he passed by, he would stop in there to eat some food.

9 Ma nwanyị ahụ gwara di ya okwu sị, “O doro m anya nke ọma na nwoke a na-akwụsị nʼụlọ anyị mgbe niile bụ onye nsọ nke Chineke.

And she said to her husband, "Look now, I know that this is a holy man of God who often passes by us.

10 Biko, ka anyị doziere ya otu ọnụụlọ nta nʼime ụlọ elu anyị, ka anyị tinyere ya ihe ndina na tebul, na oche, na oriọna, ka o nwee ebe ọ ga na-anọ mgbe ọbụla ọ bịakwutere anyị.”

Please, let's make a little room on the wall, and let's set up a bed, a table, a chair, and a lamp for him there, so that whenever he comes to us, he can stay there."

11 Otu ụbọchị, mgbe Ịlaisha bịakwara nʼebe ahụ, ọ bara nʼọnụụlọ ahụ, dinaa nʼebe ahụ.

Now it happened one day he came there, and he turned into the upper room and rested.

12 Ọ sịrị Gehazi onye na-ejere ya ozi, “Gaa kpọọ onye Shunem a,” Ya mere, ọ kpọrọ ya, ọ bịara guzo nʼihu ya,

And he said to Gehazi his servant, "Call this Shunammite." So he called for her and she stood before him.

13 Ịlaisha gwara Gehazi, “Gwa nwanyị ahụ, sị, ‘Lee, otu i si enye onwe gị nsogbu niile ndị a maka anyị. Ugbu a, gịnị ka a ga-emere gị? Ọ bụ ka anyị gwa eze okwu banyere gị, ka ọ bụ ịgwa onyeisi ndị agha?’” Ọ zara, “Ebi m nʼetiti ndị m.”

And he said to him, "Say now to her, 'Look, you have gone to all this trouble for us. What can I do for you? Can I put in a good word for you to the king, or to the commander of the army?'" She answered, "I have a home among my own people."

14 Ịlaisha jụrụ, “Gịnịkwa ka anyị ga-emere nwanyị a?” Gehazi sịrị, “Nʼezie, o nweghị nwa nwoke, di ya emeekwala agadi.”

So he said, "What then can I do for her?" And Gehazi replied, "Actually, she has no son, and her husband is old."

15 Ịlaisha sịrị, “Kpọọ ya.” Ya mere, Gehazi kpọrọ ya, ọ bịara guzo nʼọnụ ụzọ.

Then he said, "Call her." And when he had called her, she stood in the doorway.

16 Ịlaisha sịrị, “Na mgbe dị otu a nʼafọ ọzọ, ị ga-eku nwa nwoke nʼaka gị abụọ.” Ọ sịrị, “Mba, onyenwe m, biko, gị onye nke Chineke, agwala ohu gị nwanyị okwu ụgha.”

And he said, "At this season, when the time comes around, you will be holding a son." And she said, "No, my lord, man of God, do not lie to your servant."

17 Ma dịka Ịlaisha si kwuo, nwanyị ahụ tụụrụ ime, na mgbe ahụ nʼafọ ọzọ ya, ọ mụrụ nwa nwoke.

But the woman conceived, and bore a son at that season, when the time came around, just as Elisha had said to her.

18 Nwata ahụ toputara, otu ụbọchị ọ pụrụ jekwuru nna ya nʼubi, ebe ha nọ na-aghọ ọka.

And the child grew and it happened one day that he went out to his father to the harvest workers.

19 O tikuru nna ya sị ya, “Isi m o, isi m o!” Nna ya sịrị otu nʼime ndị ohu ya, “Kuru ya kulaara nne ya.”

And he said to his father, "My head, my head." And he said to his servant, "Carry him to his mother."

20 O kuuru ya, kulaara ya nne ya, nwantakịrị nwoke ahụ nọdụrụ nʼapata nne ya ruo etiti ehihie, mgbe ọ nwụrụ.

And when he had taken him and brought him to his mother, he sat on her lap until noon, and died.

21 Nne ya kuuru ya rigoo nʼelu ụlọ ahụ, tọgbọ ya nʼelu ihe ndina ahụ onye nke Chineke ahụ na-edina, mechie ụzọ pụọ.

Then she went up and put him on the bed of the man of God and shut the door behind him and left.

22 O ziri ozi kpọọ di ya sị ya, “Biko, zitere m otu okorobịa na otu ịnyịnya ibu, ka m jekwuru onye Chineke ahụ. Aga m alọtakwa ọsịịsọ.”

Then she called to her husband and said, "Please send me one of the servants and one of the donkeys, that I may run to the man of God and then return."

23 Ọ sịrị, “Gịnị mere i ji ejekwuru ya taa? Ọ bụghị Ọnwa ọhụrụ, ọ bụghịkwa ụbọchị izuike.” Ọ zara sị, “Udo dị.”

But he said, "Why would you want to see him today? It is not the new moon or Sabbath." And she said, "It's alright."

24 Mgbe ahụ, ọ nọkwasịrị nʼelu ịnyịnya ibu ahụ, nye nwokorobịa ahụ iwu sị ya, “Gbasie ọsọ ike. Akwụsịkwala ịgba ọsọ ma ọ bụghị mgbe m gwara gị kwụsị.”

Then she saddled a donkey, and said to her servant, "Lead on; do not slow down for me unless I tell you."

25 Ya mere, o buliri ije, gakwuru onye nke Chineke nʼugwu Kamel. Mgbe o lepụrụ anya hụ ya ka ọ na-abịa, onye nke Chineke sịrị odibo ya bụ Gehazi, “Lee nwanyị Shunem ahụ.

So she went and came to the man of God at Mount Carmel. So it happened when the man of God saw her afar off, that he said to Gehazi his servant, "Look, there is the Shunammite.

26 Gbara ọsọ gaa zute ya jụọ ya sị ya, ‘Ọ dịkwa mma? Dị gị ọ nọkwa nʼudo? Nwa gị ọ nọkwa nʼudo?’” Mgbe Gehazi zutere ya jụọ ajụjụ ndị a, nwanyị ahụ zara Gehazi sị ya, “E, anyị niile nọ nʼudo, ihe niile na-aga nke ọma.”

Please run now to meet her and ask her, 'Is it well with you? Is it well with your husband? Is it well with the child?'" And she answered, "It is well."

27 Ma mgbe ọ bịakwutere onye nke Chineke, ọ dara nʼala nʼihu ya, jide ya nʼụkwụ ya abụọ. Gehazi bịaruru nso inupu ya, ma onyeozi Chineke sịrị ya, “Hapụ ya aka, nʼihi na ọ dị ihe na-enye ya nsogbu nʼime mmụọ ya, ma Onyenwe anyị zonarịrị m ya, ọ gwaghịkwa m ihe mere.”

But when she came to the man of God to the mountain, she grabbed hold of his feet. And Gehazi came near to push her away, but the man of God said, "Leave her alone, for she is in severe anguish, and the LORD has hidden it from me and has not told me."

28 Nwanyị ahụ sịrị, “Onyenwe m, arịọrọ m gị nye m nwa nwoke? Ọ bụ na m asịghị gị, ‘emeela m ka m nwee olileanya’?”

Then she said, "Did I ask a son from my lord? Did I not say, 'Do not mislead me?'"

29 Ịlaisha sịrị Gehazi, “Ngwa, were ihe ike nʼukwu jikọta uwe mwụda gị, werekwa mkpanaka m nʼaka gị, bilie gaa Shunem. Mgbe ị na-aga ekelekwala onye ọbụla ekele. Ọ bụrụkwa na onye ọbụla ekelee gị, azala ekele ya. Gaa nʼụlọ ahụ. I ruo, tụkwasị mkpanaka m nʼihu nwantakịrị nwoke ahụ.”

Then he said to Gehazi, "Tuck your cloak into your belt, and take my staff in your hand, and go. If you meet anyone, do not greet him, and if anyone greets you, do not reply. And lay my staff on the face of the child."

30 Ma nne nwantakịrị ahụ zara sị, “Dịka Onyenwe anyị na-adị ndụ, na dịka gị onwe gị nọkwa na-adị ndụ, agaghị m ahapụ gị laa.” Ịlaisha biliri soro ya bido ịla nʼụlọ ya.

But the mother of the child said, "As the LORD lives and as your soul lives, I will not leave you." So he arose and followed her.

31 Ma Gehazi butere ụzọ rute nʼụlọ ahụ, were mkpanaka ahụ tụkwasị nʼihu nwantakịrị nwoke ahụ, ma nke a emeghị ka nwantakịrị ahụ teta ma ọ bụkwanụ kuo ume. Ya mere, Gehazi laghachiri izute Ịlaisha, gwa ya sị, “Nwata ahụ etetaghị.”

Now Gehazi went on ahead of them and placed the staff on the face of the child, but there was no sound or response. Therefore he came back to meet him and told him, saying, "The child did not wake up."

32 Mgbe Ịlaisha rutere nʼụlọ ahụ, ọ hụrụ ka nwantakịrị ahụ nwụrụ anwụ dina nʼelu ihe ndina ya.

When Elisha arrived at the house, look, the child was dead, lying on his bed.

33 Ọ banyere nʼime ọnụụlọ ahụ, mechibido ha abụọ ụzọ, kpee ekpere, kpọkuo Onyenwe anyị.

So he went in and shut the door on the two of them and prayed to the LORD.

34 Emesịa, ọ makpuuru nʼelu nwantakịrị ahụ, tụkwasị ọnụ ya nʼọnụ nwantakịrị ahụ, na anya ya abụọ na nke nwantakịrị ahụ, na aka ya abụọ na nke ya. Mgbe o si otu a dinara nʼelu nwantakịrị ahụ, ahụ nwantakịrị ahụ malitere ikpo ọkụ ọzọ.

Then he got up and lay on the child, and put his mouth on his mouth, and his eyes on his eyes, and his hands on his hands, and he stretched himself upon him, and the body of the child grew warm.

35 Ịlaisha biliri jegharịa nʼime ụlọ ahụ ugboro ole na ole, laghachikwa makpuru nʼelu nwantakịrị ahụ ọzọ. Emesịa, nwantakịrị ahụ zere uzere ugboro asaa, meghe anya ya abụọ.

Then he returned and walked in the house once back and forth, and went up and stretched himself upon him, and the child sneezed seven times and the child opened his eyes.

36 Ịlaisha kpọrọ Gehazi sị ya, “Kpọọ nwanyị Shunem.” Ya mere, ọ kpọrọ ya. Mgbe ọ bịakwutere ya, ọ sịrị, “Kuru nwa gị.”

Then he called to Gehazi and said, "Call this Shunammite." So he called her. When she had come in to him, he said, "Pick up your son."

37 Ọ batara, daa nʼala nʼụkwụ ya, kpọọ isiala. Emesịa, o kuuru nwa ya nwoke pụọ.

Then she came in and fell at his feet and bowed herself to the ground. Then she picked up her son and left.

38 Ịlaisha lọghachiri na Gilgal, mgbe ụnwụ dị nʼala ahụ. Otu ụbọchị, mgbe ya na ụfọdụ ndị amụma nọ na-enwe nzukọ, ọ gwara onye na-ejere ya ozi okwu sị ya: “Sikwasị ite ukwu ahụ nʼọkụ, siere ndị a mụ na ha nọ ihe oriri.”

Now Elisha came again to Gilgal, while there was a famine in the land. And the sons of the prophets were sitting before him, and he said to his servant, "Put on the large pot, and boil stew for the sons of the prophets."

39 Otu onye nʼime ha pụrụ banye nʼọhịa ịchịkọta akwụkwọ nri. Ọ hụrụ osisi vaịnị toro nʼọhịa, chịkọtaa ụfọdụ afụfa ọhịa, nke o kpojuru nʼuwe mwụda ya dịka ọ ga-ejideli. Mgbe ọ lọghachiri, o gbupịasịrị afụfa ọhịa ndị a, wụnye ha nʼime ite ahụ si nʼọkụ, ọ bụ ezie na o nweghị onye maara ihe ha bụ.

Then one of them went out into the field to gather herbs and found a wild vine, and gathered as many of its gourds as his garment would hold, and came and cut them up into the pot of stew, for he was unaware what it was.

40 Mgbe o ghere, a wụpụtara ya nye ndị ikom ndị ahụ. Ma mgbe ha bidoro iri ya, ha tiri mkpu akwa sị, “Onye nke Chineke, lee, ọnwụ dị nʼite nri a.” Ha enwekwaghị ike iri ya.

So they poured out for the men to eat. Now it happened, as they were eating of the stew, that they cried out, and said, "Man of God, there is death in the pot." And they could not eat it.

41 Ịlaisha kwuru okwu sị, “Kpotanụ ụtụ ọka.” Ọ ghanyere ya nʼime ite ahụ sị, “Kunyerenụ ha nri ka ha rie.” Ha riri ya. O nwekwaghị ihe na-egbu egbu dị nʼite ahụ.

But he said, "Bring some flour." And he threw it into the pot and said, "Pour it out for the people, that they may eat." And there was no harm in the pot.

42 Otu nwoke si Baal-Shalisha bịa, butere onye nke Chineke ogbe achịcha iri abụọ nke e ji ọka balị mbụ a ghọtara nʼubi mee. O butekwaara ya isi ọka ole na ole nʼakpa. Ịlaisha sịrị, “Were ihe ndị a nye ndị anyị ka ha rie.”

Now a man from Baal Shalishah came and brought the man of God bread of the first fruits, twenty loaves of barley, and fresh ears of grain in his sack. And he said, "Give to the people, that they may eat."

43 Onye na-ejere ya ozi jụrụ, “Olee otu m ga-esi chee ihe a nʼihu narị mmadụ?” Ma Ịlaisha zara, “Chịrị ya nye ndị mmadụ a ka ha rie, nʼihi na otu a ka Onyenwe anyị kwuru, ‘Ha ga-eriju afọ ha, nwekwa ndị ga-afọdụkwa.’”

But his servant said, "What, should I set this before a hundred men?" So he said, "Give them to the people so that they may eat, for thus says the LORD, 'They will eat, and will have some left over.'"

44 Ya mere, o chere ya nʼihu ha, ha rikwara, nri ahụ fọdụkwara dịka okwu Onyenwe anyị si dị.

So he set it before them, and they ate, and had some left over, according to the word of the LORD.
