2 Ar-ari 4
1 Ita, napan a nagsangsangit kenni Eliseo ti asawa ti maysa kadagiti annak dagiti profeta, ibagbagana, “Natayen ti asawak nga adipenmo, ket ammom a managbuteng ti adipenmo kenni Yahweh. Ita, immay ti agpapautang tapno alaenna ti dua nga annakko nga agbalin a tagabuna.”
One day the widow of one of [Yahweh’s] prophets came to Elisha and cried out to him, “My husband, who worked with you, is dead. You know that he revered Yahweh [very much]. But now a man to whom he owed a lot of money has come to me. [And because I cannot pay back the money, he is threatening] to take away my two sons to be his slaves [as payment for what I owe him]!”
2 Isu a kinuna ni Eliseo iti babai, “Ania ti maipaayko kenka? Ibagam kaniak ti adda iti balaymo?” Kinuna ti babai, “Awan a pulos iti adda iti balay ti adipenmo, malaksid iti sangaputik a lana.”
Elisha replied, “What can I do to help you? Tell me, what do you have in your house?” She replied, “We have only a container of [olive] oil; we have nothing else.”
3 Ket kinuna ni Eliseo, “Rummuarka tapno mapanka bumulod kadagiti kaarrubam kadagiti burnay nga awan nagianna. No mabalbalin bumulodka iti adu.
Elisha said, “Go to your neighbors and borrow from them as many empty jars as you can.
4 Kalpasanna masapul a sumrekka ken dagiti annakmo ket irekepyo ti ridaw, ket bukbukanyo ti lana amin dagitoy a burnay; ilasinyo dagiti burnay a napunno.”
Then take the jars into your house with your sons. Shut the door. Then pour olive oil from your container into the other jars. When each jar is full, set it aside [and fill another jar. Keep doing that until all the jars are full].”
5 Isu a pinanawanna ni Eliseo ket inrekepna ti ridaw iti likudanna ken dagiti annakna. Impanda kenkuana dagiti burnay, ket pinunnona dagitoy iti lana.
[So she did what Elisha told her to do]. Her sons kept bringing jars to her, and she kept filling them.
6 Idi napnon dagiti pagkargaan, kinunana iti anakna, “Mangiyegka kaniak ti sabali a burnay.” Ngem kinunana kenkuana, “Awanen ti burnay.” Ket nagsardeng a nagayus ti lana.
Soon all the jars were full. So she said to one of her sons, “Bring me another jar!” But he replied, “There are no more jars!” And then the olive oil stopped flowing.
7 Kalpasanna, nagsubi ti babai ket imbagana iti tao ti Dios. Kinunana, “Mapanka, ilakom ti lana; bayadam ti utangmo, ket pagbiaganyo kadagiti annakmo ti nabati.”
When she told Elijah [what had happened], he said to her, “Now sell the jars of oil. And [with the money you get, ] pay what you owe, and there will be enough extra money to keep buying food for yourself and your sons.” [So she did that].
8 Maysa nga aldaw, nagna ni Eliseo idiay Sunem a pagnanaedan ti babai a baknang; inawis ti babai isuna a makipangan kenkuana. Isu a tunggal lumabas ni Eliseo, dumagas isuna sadiay tapno mangan.
One day Elisha went to Shunem [town]. There was a wealthy woman who lived there [with her husband]. One day she invited Elisha to her house for a meal. [Elisha went there and] from then on, every time Elisha was in Shunem, he went to their house to eat a meal.
9 Kinuna ti babai iti asawana, “Kitaem, ita maamirisko a nasantoan daytoy a tao ti Dios a kanayon a lumablabas.
One day the woman said to her husband, “I am sure that this man who often comes here is a prophet [who brings messages] from God.
10 Mangaramidta iti bassit a siled iti ngato a para kenni Eliseo, ket mangikabilta iti pagiddaan, lamisaan, tugaw, ken silaw. Ket inton sarungkarannata, agyanto isuna sadiay.”
I think we should make a small room for him on our [flat] roof, and put a bed, a table, a chair, and a lamp in it. If we do that, whenever he comes here, he will have a place to stay.” [So they did that].
11 Isu nga idi dimteng manen ti aldaw a dimmagas ni Eliseo sadiay, nagyan isuna iti siled ket naginana sadiay.
One day Elisha returned to Shunem, and he went up to that room to rest.
12 Kinunana ni Elias kenni Gehazi nga adipenna, “Ayabam daytoy a Sunamita.” Idi naayabanna ti babai, nagtakder ni Gehazi iti sangngoananna.
He said to his servant Gehazi, “Tell the woman that I want to speak to her.” [So the servant went and told her]. When she came [to the doorway of Elisha’s room],
13 Kinuna ni Eliseo kenkuana, “Ibagam iti babai, 'Naaramidmo amin dagitoy a pakaseknan a mangaywan kadakami. Ania ti maipaaymi a para kenka? Kayatmo kadi a katungtongenmi para kenka iti ari wenno iti komadante ti armada?” Simmungbat ti babai, “Agnanaedak kadagiti tattaok.”
Elisha said to Gehazi, “Tell her that we both appreciate all the kind things that she has done for us. Then ask her what we can do for her. Ask, ‘Do you want [me to go to] the king or the army commander, to request something for you?’” [Gehazi told her, ] and she replied, “No, [he does not need to do that, because] my family/relatives are able to give me what I need.”
14 Isu a kinuna ni Eliseo, “Ania ngarud ti aramidenta para kenkuana?” Simmungbat ni Gehazi, “Iti kinapudnona, awan iti anakna, ket lakayen ti asawana.”
[Later, ] Elisha asked Gehazi, “What do you think that we can do for that woman?” He replied, “She does not have a son, and her husband is an old man. [So maybe we should ask Yahweh to enable her to have a son].”
15 Isu a simmungbat ni Eliseo, “Ayabam ti babai.” Idi naayabanna isuna, nagtakder ti babai iti ridaw.
Elisha told Gehazi, “Call her back again.” [So Gehazi went and called her]. And when the woman returned, as she stood in the doorway,
16 Kinuna ni Eliseo, “Iti kastoy a tiempo, iti umay a tawen, ub-ubbaemton ti anak a lalaki.” Kinuna ti babai, “Saan, apok ken tao ti Dios, saanka nga agulbod iti adipenmo.”
Elisha said to her, “About this time next year you will be holding your [infant] son in your arms.” But she protested, “O, sir, you are a prophet [who brings messages] from God, so please do not deceive/lie to me by saying things like that!”
17 Ngem nagsikog ti babai ket nangipasngay isuna iti anak a lalaki iti dayta met laeng a tiempo iti sumaruno a tawen, kas iti kinuna ni Eliseo kenkuana.
But a few months later, the woman became pregnant, and she gave birth to a son at that time the following year, just like Elisha had predicted.
18 Idi dimmakkelen ti ubing, maysa nga aldaw, napan isuna iti ayan iti amana, a kaduana dagiti agburburas.
When the child was older, one day he went out to the fields to see his father, who was [working] with the men who were harvesting [grain].
19 Kinunana iti amana, “Ti ulok, ti ulok.” Kinuna ti amana iti adipenna, “Bagkatem isuna nga ipan iti inana.”
[Suddenly] the boy exclaimed, “My head [hurts]! My head [hurts a lot]!” His father said to one of the servants, “Carry him home to his mother!”
20 Idi binagkat ti adipen ti ubing ket impanna iti inana, sinaklot ti babai ti ubing agingga a natay iti agmatuon.
So the servant carried him home, and his mother held him on her lap. But at noontime the boy died.
21 Isu a timmakder ti babai ket impaiddana ti ubing iti pagiddaan ti tao ti Dios, inrekepna ti ridaw, ket rimmuar.
She carried him up [the steps] to the prophet’s room and laid him on the bed. She left him there and went out and shut the door.
22 Inayabanna ti asawana, ket kinunana, “Pangaasim, ibaonmo kaniak ti maysa kadagiti adipen ken maysa kadagiti asno tapno makapanak a dagus iti tao ti Dios ket kalpasanna makasubliak.”
She then called out to her husband, saying, “Send to me one of the servants and a donkey, so that I can ride [on it] quickly to the prophet, and then come back!” [But she did not tell her husband that their son had died].
23 Kinuna ti asawa ti babai, “Apay a kayatmo ti mapan kenkuana ita nga aldaw? Saan met a baro ti bulan wenno Aldaw a Panaginana, “Simmungbat isuna, “Saan a bale.”
Her husband [called out to her and] said, “Why [do you want to go] today? This is not the day when we celebrate the Festival of the New Moon, and it is not a Sabbath day!” But she only replied, “[Just do what I requested and] everything will be all right.”
24 Kalpasanna sinilyaanna ti asno ket kinunana iti adipenna, “Partakam a patarayen; saanmo a pagin-innayaden malaksid no ibagak.”
So she [told the servant to] put saddles on [two] donkeys, and as they left, she said, “Hurry! Do not slow down unless t tell you to do that!”
25 Isu a napan isuna ket nakadanon iti ayan iti tao ti Dios idiay Bantay Carmel. Isu nga idi nakita ti tao ti Dios ti babai iti saan unay nga adayo, kinunana kenni Gehazi nga adipenna, “Kitaem, sumungsungad ti babai a Sunamita.
As they approached Carmel Mountain, where Elisha was, Elisha saw her in the distance. He said to Gehazi, “Look, the woman from Shunem is coming!
26 Pangngaasim, tumarayka a mangsabat kenkuana ket ibagam kenkuana, 'Nasayaat kadi ti kasasaadmo kasta met ti asawam ken ti anakmo?'” Simmungbat ti babai, “Nasayaat ti amin.”
Run to her, and ask her if everything is all right with her and her husband and with her child!” [So Gehazi ran to her and asked her, but she did not tell Gehazi anything.] She only said, “Yes, everything is fine.”
27 Idi nakadanon ti babai iti ayan iti tao ti Dios nga adda idiay bantay, iniggamanna ti sakana. Immasideg ni Gehazi iti babai tapno iyadayona ngem kinuna ti tao ti Dios, “Panawam isuna, ta mariribukan unay, ken inlimed ni Yahweh daytoy a parikut, ken awan ti imbagana kaniak.”
But when she came to where Elisha was, she [prostrated herself on the ground in front of Elisha and] took hold of his feet. Gehazi started to push her away, but Elisha said, “(Do not push her away/Leave her alone)! Something is troubling her very much, but Yahweh has not told me what it is.”
28 Kalpasanna, kinuna ti babai, “Nagkiddawak kadi kenka iti anak, apok? Saanko kadi nga imbaga, 'Saannak nga ulbodan'?”
Then she said to Elisha, “O, sir, I did not ask you to enable me to give birth to a son [RHQ]. And I told you not to lie to me about that!” [RHQ]
29 Ket kinuna ni Eliseo kenni Gehazi, “Agrubuatka ket alaem ti sarukodko. Mapanka iti pagtaenganna. No adda masabatmo a lalaki, saanmo a kablaawan isuna, ken no adda mangkablaaw kenka, saanmo a sungbatan. Iparabawmo ti sarukodko iti rupa ti ubing.”
Then Elisha [realized that something must have happened to her son. So he] said to Gehazi, “Get ready [to leave immediately]. Take my staff/walking stick and go [to her home]. Do not [stop to] talk to anyone on the way. Go quickly [to where her son is] and lay the staff on the child’s face. [If you do that, perhaps Yahweh will enable him to be well].”
30 Ngem kinuna ti ina ti ubing, “Iti nagan ni Yahweh nga adda iti agnanayon, ken kas sibibiagka, saanka a panpanawan.” Isu a timmakder ni Eliseo ket simmurot iti babai.
But the boy’s mother said, “Just [as certain] as Yahweh lives and you live, I will not go home if you do not go with me.” So Elisha returned with her [to her home].
31 Nagdardaras ken inunaan ni Gehazi isuda ket imparabawna ti sarukod iti rupa ti ubing, ngem saan a nagsao wenno nakangeg ti ubing. Kalpasanna nagsubli ni Gehazi a mangsabat kenni Eliseo ket imbagana kenkuana, “Saan a mariing ti ubing.”
Gehazi hurried quickly, and [when he got to the woman’s home, ] he laid the staff/walking stick on the child’s face, but the child did not move or say anything. So Gehazi returned to meet Elisha [along the road], and told him, “The child is still dead.”
32 Idi nakasanngpet ni Eliseo iti balay, natayen ti ubing ket adda pay laeng iti pagiddaan.
When Elisha reached the house, he saw that the boy was lying dead on his bed.
33 Isu a simrek ni Eliseo ket inrekepna ti ridaw nga ayan iti ubing ket nagkakarag kenni Yahweh.
Elisha went into the room by himself and shut the door and prayed to Yahweh.
34 Napanna pinakleban ti ubing; indekketna ti ngiwatna iti ngiwat ti ubing, ti matana iti mata ti ubing ken ti imana iti ima ti ubing. Impaklebna ti bagina iti ubing a lalaki, ket bimmara ti bagi ti ubing.
Then he lay down on the boy’s body, and put his mouth on the boy’s mouth, and put his eyes on the boy’s eyes, and put his hands on the boy’s hands. Then the boy’s body started to become warm!
35 Kalpasanna timmakder ni Eliseo ket nagpagnapagna iti siled ket nagsubli manen ket impaklebna ti bagina iti ubing a lalaki. Nagbaeng ti ubing iti pito a daras sana inmulagat dagiti matana!
Elisha got up and walked back and forth in the room [several times]. Then he stretched his body on the boy’s body again. The boy sneezed seven times and opened his eyes!
36 Isu nga inayaban ni Eliseo ni Gehazi ket kinunana, “Ayabam ti Sunamita!” Isu nga inayabanna ti babai, ket idi nakastrek isuna iti siled, Kinuna ni Eliseo, “Alaemon ti anakmo.”
Then Elisha summoned Gehazi. He said, “Call the boy’s mother!” [So Gehazi went and called her, ] and when she came in, Elisha said, “Here, take your son!”
37 Ket nagpakleb ti babai iti daga iti sakaananna ken nagkurno isuna iti daga, kalpasanna, innalana ti anakna sa pimmanaw.
She [gratefully] prostrated herself at Elisha’s feet. Then she picked up her son and carried him downstairs.
38 Kalpasanna napan manen ni Eliseo iti Gilgal. Adda iti panagbisin iti daga, ket agtugtugaw dagiti annak dagiti profeta iti sangoananna. Kinunana iti adipenna, “Isaangmo ti dakkel a dungdong iti apuy ket manglutoka iti sidaen a para kadagiti annak dagiti profeta.”
Then Elisha returned to Gilgal. But at that time there was (a famine/very little food) in that area. One day as the group of prophets was sitting in front of Elisha [listening to what he was teaching], he said to his servant, “Put a large pot on [the stove] and make some stew for these men.”
39 Napan iti taltalon ti maysa kadakuada tapno agala kadagiti natnateng. Nakasarak isuna iti balang a lanut ket nangala iti balang a bunga nga umanay a maisab-ok ti kagayna. Ginalipda dagitoy ket inlaokda iti sidaen, ngem saanda nga ammo no ania a kita dagitoy.
One of the prophets went out to the fields to gather some vegetables. But he gathered [only] some wild gourds and put them in his cloak and brought them back. He shredded them and put them in the pot, but he did not know that the gourds were poisonous.
40 Isu nga indasarda ti sidaen a kanen dagiti lallaki. Saan a nagbayag, apaman a mangmanganda, nagpukkawda ket kinunada, “Tao ti Dios, adda iti makapatay iti dungdong!” Ket saandan a kayat a kanen daytoy.
He served the stew to the prophets, but after the men had eaten only a couple bites, they cried out, “Elisha, there is something in the pot that will kill us!” So they would not eat it.
41 Ngem kinuna ni Eliseo, “Mangiyegkayo iti bassit nga arina.” Inkabilna daytoy iti dungdong ket kinunana, “Idasaryo daytoy a para kadagiti tattao, tapno makapanganda.” Ket awanen a pulos iti makadangran a linaon ti banga.
Elisha said, “Bring me some flour.” [They brought him some, and] he threw it in the pot and he said, “It is all right now. You can eat it.” And they ate it, and it did not harm them.
42 Adda maysa a tao a naggapu iti Baal Salisa a napan iti tao ti Dios ken nangipan iti duapulo a tinapay a naaramid iti trigo nga adda iti sakona a kaburburas, ken kaburburas a bukbukel. Kinunana, “Itedmo daytoy kadagiti tattao tapno makapanganda.”
One day a man from Baal-Shalishah [town] brought to Elisha a sack of freshly cut grain and 20 loaves of barley bread, made from the first grain that they harvested [that year]. Elisha said [to his servant], “Give it to the group of prophets, so that they can eat it.”
43 Kinuna ti adipenna,” Ania, idasarko kadi daytoy iti sangoanan ti sangagasut a lallaki?” Ngem kinuna ni Eliseo, “Itedmo daytoy kadagiti tattao, tapno makapanganda, ta ibagbaga ni Yahweh, 'Mangandanto ket addanto pay sumagmamano a mabati.'”
But his servant exclaimed, “Do you think that we can feed 100 of us prophets with only that much?” [RHQ] But Elisha replied, “Give it to the prophets so that they can eat it, because Yahweh says that there will be plenty for all of them, and there will be some left over!”
44 Isu nga indasar daytoy ti adipen iti sagoananda; nanganda ket adda pay dagiti nabati, kas ti sao nga inkari ni Yahweh.
After his servant gave it to the prophets, they ate [all that they wanted], and there was food left over, just as Yahweh had promised.
