< 2 Ar-ari 6 >

1 Kinuna dagiti annak dagiti profeta kenni Eliseo, “Ti lugar a pagnanaedantayo ket nailet unay para kadatayo amin.
The sons of the prophets said to Elisha, “See now, the place where we live and meet with you is too small for us.
2 Pangngaasim ta palubosannakami a mapan idiay Karayan Jordan, ket palubosam ti tunggal lalaki a mangpukan iti kayo, ket mangbangontayo ti lugar sadiay a mabalin a pagnaedantayo.” Simmungbat ni Eliseo, “Mabalinyon ti mapan.”
Please let us go to the Jordan, and each man take a beam from there, and let’s make us a place there, where we may live.” He answered, “Go!”
3 Kinuna ti maysa kadakuada, “Pangngaasim ta kumuyogka kadagiti adipenmo.” Simmungbat ni Eliseo, “Mapanak.”
One said, “Please be pleased to go with your servants.” He answered, “I will go.”
4 Isu a kimmuyog ni Eliseo kadakuada, idi nakadanondan idiay Karayan Jordan, rinugianda ti nagpukan kadagiti kayo.
So he went with them. When they came to the Jordan, they cut down wood.
5 Ngem kabayatan nga agpukpukan ti maysa, natinnag ti ulo ti wasay iti danum; nagpukkaw isuna ket kinunana, “Ayna, apok, daytoy ket bulod!”
But as one was cutting down a tree, the ax head fell into the water. Then he cried out and said, “Alas, my master! For it was borrowed.”
6 Isu a kinuna ti tao ti Dios, “Sadino ti nakatnaganna?” Intudo ti lalaki kenni Eliseo ti disso a nakatnaganna. Nangputed ngarud ni Eliseo iti ruting, impuruakna daytoy iti danum, ket pinagtapawna ti landok.
The man of God asked, “Where did it fall?” He showed him the place. He cut down a stick, threw it in there, and made the iron float.
7 Kinuna ni Eliseo, “Pidutem.” Isu a ginaw-at ti lalaki daytoy.
He said, “Take it.” So he put out his hand and took it.
8 Ita, ti ari ti Aram ket mangirugrugi idi iti gubat maibusor iti Israel. Nakiuman isuna kadagiti adipenna, a kunana, “Agkampoakto iti kastoy ken kastoy a lugar.”
Now the king of Syria was at war against Israel; and he took counsel with his servants, saying, “My camp will be in such and such a place.”
9 Isu a nangibaon ti tao ti Dios iti ari ti Israel, a kunana, “Agannadkayo a saan a magna iti dayta a lugar, ta sumalsalog sadiay dagiti Arameo.”
The man of God sent to the king of Israel, saying, “Beware that you not pass this place, for the Syrians are coming down there.”
10 Kalpasanna, nangibaon ti ari ti Israel kadagiti lalaki iti lugar nga impakdaar ti tao ti Dios kenkuana. Namin-anon a daras nga insalakan isuna dayta a pakdaar sadiay.
The king of Israel sent to the place which the man of God told him and warned him of; and he saved himself there, not once or twice.
11 Nariribukan unay ti panunot ti ari ti Aram maipapan iti daytoy a pakdaar, ket inayabanna dagiti adipenna ket kinunana kadakuada, “Saanyo kadi nga ibaga kaniak no siasino kadatayo ti umay-ayon iti ari ti Israel?
The king of Syria’s heart was very troubled about this. He called his servants, and said to them, “Will not you show me which of us is for the king of Israel?”
12 Kinuna ngarud ti maysa kadagiti adipenna, “Saan, apok nga ari, ta ni Eliseo a profeta iti Israel ti mangibagbaga iti ari ti Israel kadagiti sasao nga ibagbagam iti siledmo!”
One of his servants said, “No, my lord, O king; but Elisha, the prophet who is in Israel, tells the king of Israel the words that you speak in your bedroom.”
13 Simmungbat ti ari, “Inkayo kitaen no sadino ti ayan ni Eliseo tapno makaibaonak kadagiti lallaki a mangtiliw kenkuana.” Naibaga kenkuana, “Kitaem, adda isuna idiay Dotan.”
He said, “Go and see where he is, that I may send and get him.” He was told, “Behold, he is in Dothan.”
14 Isu a nangipatulod ti ari idiay Dotan kadagiti kabalio, karwahe ken nangibaon iti dakkel a bunggoy dagiti armada. Dimtengda sadiay iti rabii ket pinalikmutanda ti siudad.
Therefore he sent horses, chariots, and a great army there. They came by night and surrounded the city.
15 Idi nakariing a nasapa ket rimmuar ti adipen ti tao ti Dios, adda met sadiay iti dakkel nga armada agraman dagiti kabalio ken karwahe a nakapalikmot iti siudad. Ket kinuna ti adipen kenni Eliseo, “O, apok! Ania ti aramidentayo?”
When the servant of the man of God had risen early and gone out, behold, an army with horses and chariots was around the city. His servant said to him, “Alas, my master! What shall we do?”
16 Simmungbat ni Eliseo, “Saanka nga agbuteng, ta ad-adu dagiti kaduatayo ngem dagidiay a kakaduada.”
He answered, “Do not be afraid, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.”
17 Nagkararag ni Eliseo ket kinunana, Yahweh, agpakpakaasiak a lukatam dagiti matana tapno makitana.” Kalpasanna, linuktan ni Yahweh dagiti mata ti adipen, ket nakitana. Adtoy, napno ti bantay kadagiti kabalio ken karwahe nga umap-apuy iti likmot ni Eliseo!
Elisha prayed, and said, “LORD, please open his eyes, that he may see.” the LORD opened the young man’s eyes, and he saw; and behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire around Elisha.
18 Idi simmalog dagiti Arameo a napan kenkuana, nagkararag ni Eliseo kenni Yahweh a kinunana, “Dawatek kenka a pagbulsekem dagitoy a tattao.” Isu a pinagbulsek ida ni Yahweh, kas dinawat ni Eliseo.
When they came down to him, Elisha prayed to the LORD, and said, “Please strike this people with blindness.” He struck them with blindness according to Elisha’s word.
19 Kalpasanna, imbaga ni Eliseo kadagiti Arameo, “Saan a daytoy ti dalan, wenno ti siudad. Surutendak, ket ipankayo iti tao a birbirukenyo.” Ket inturongna ida idiay Samaria.
Elisha said to them, “This is not the way, neither is this the city. Follow me, and I will bring you to the man whom you seek.” He led them to Samaria.
20 Napasamak nga idi nakadanonda idiay Samaria, imbaga ni Eliseo, “Yahweh, luktam dagiti mata dagitoy a tattao tapno makakitada.” Linukatan ni Yahweh dagiti matada ket nakitada, ket adtoy, addada iti tengnga ti siudad ti Samaria.
When they had come into Samaria, Elisha said, “LORD, open these men’s eyes, that they may see.” The LORD opened their eyes, and they saw; and behold, they were in the middle of Samaria.
21 Kinuna ti ari ti Israel kenni Eliseo, idi nakitana ida, “Amak, rumbeng kadi a papatayek ida? Rumbeng kadi a patayek ida?
The king of Israel said to Elisha, when he saw them, “My father, shall I strike them? Shall I strike them?”
22 Simmungbat ni Eliseo, “Saan a rumbeng a papatayem ida. Papatayem kadi dagiti natiliwmo a balud babaen kadagiti kampilan ken panam. Mangikabilka iti tinapay ken danum iti sangoananda, tapno mangan ken uminumda, ket mapanda iti apoda.”
He answered, “You shall not strike them. Would you strike those whom you have taken captive with your sword and with your bow? Set bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink, then go to their master.”
23 Isu a nangisagana ti ari iti adu a taraon para kadakuada, ket idi nakapangan ken nakainomdan, pinapanawna ida, ket nagsublida iti apoda. Nabayag a panawen a saanen a nagsubli dagidiay a bunggoy dagiti soldado ti Aram iti daga ti Israel.
He prepared a great feast for them. After they ate and drank, he sent them away and they went to their master. So the bands of Syria stopped raiding the land of Israel.
24 Iti saan a nabayag kalpasan daytoy, inummong ni Ben Hadad nga ari ti Aram iti amin nga armada ti Aram ket rinautda ti Samaria ket linakubda daytoy.
After this, Benhadad king of Syria gathered all his army, and went up and besieged Samaria.
25 Isu nga adda idi ti nakaro a panagbisin idiay Samaria. Adtoy, linakubda daytoy agingga a nailako ti ulo ti asno iti walo pulo a pidaso a pirak, ken ti kakapat a kab ti lugit ti kalapati iti lima a pidaso a pirak.
There was a great famine in Samaria. Behold, they besieged it until a donkey’s head was sold for eighty pieces of silver, and the fourth part of a kab of dove’s dung for five pieces of silver.
26 Kabayatan a magmagna ti ari ti Israel iti rabaw ti pader, nagpukkaw kenkuana ti maysa a babai, kinunana, “Tulong, apok nga ari.”
As the king of Israel was passing by on the wall, a woman cried to him, saying, “Help, my lord, O king!”
27 Kinunana, “No saannaka a tulungan ni Yahweh, kasanoka a matulungan? Adda kadi aniaman nga agtataud iti pagirikan wenno pagpespesan ti arak?”
He said, “If the LORD does not help you, where could I get help for you? From the threshing floor, or from the wine press?”
28 Intultuloy ti ari, “Ania ti pakarirriribukam? Simmungbat ti babai, “Kinuna daytoy a babai kaniak, 'Itedmo ti anakmo a lalaki tapno kanenta isuna ita nga aldaw, ket kanenta ti anakko inton bigat.”
Then the king asked her, “What is your problem?” She answered, “This woman said to me, ‘Give your son, that we may eat him today, and we will eat my son tomorrow.’
29 Inangermi ngarud ti anakko ket kinnanmi isuna, ket imbagak kenkuana iti sumaruno nga aldaw, “Itedmo ti anakmo ta kanenta isuna, ngem inlemmengna ti anakna.”
So we boiled my son and ate him; and I said to her on the next day, ‘Give up your son, that we may eat him;’ and she has hidden her son.”
30 Idi nangngeg ti ari dagiti sao ti babai, rinay-abna dagiti kawesna (ita, magmagna ti ari iti rabaw ti pader), ket kimmita dagiti tattao ket nakitada a nakersang a lupot iti pang-uneg a kawesna.
When the king heard the words of the woman, he tore his clothes. Now he was passing by on the wall, and the people looked, and behold, he had sackcloth underneath on his body.
31 Ket kinunana, “Kastoy koma met ti aramiden ti Dios kaniak, ken ad-adda pay koma, no ti ulo ni Eliseo nga anak ni Safat ket agtalinaed pay kenkuana ita nga aldaw.”
Then he said, “God do so to me, and more also, if the head of Elisha the son of Shaphat stays on him today.”
32 Ngem agtugtugaw idi ni Eliseo iti uneg ti balayna, ket kaduana nga agtugtugaw dagiti panglakayen. Nangibaon ti ari iti tao manipud iti sangoananna, ngem idi napan ti mensahero kenni Eliseo, kinunana kadagiti panglakayen, “Kitaenyo no kasano a nangibaon daytoy nga anak ti mammapatay iti umay mangputed iti ulok? Kastoy, inton umay ti mensahero, irekepyo ti ridaw, ket saanyo nga ilukatan isuna. Saan kadi a ti uni dagiti saka ti amona iti sumarsaruno kenkuana?”
But Elisha was sitting in his house, and the elders were sitting with him. Then the king sent a man from before him; but before the messenger came to him, he said to the elders, “Do you see how this son of a murderer has sent to take away my head? Behold, when the messenger comes, shut the door, and hold the door shut against him. Is not the sound of his master’s feet behind him?”
33 Kabayatan a makisarsarita pay laeng ni Eliseo kadakuada, adtoy, ti mensahero ket napan kenkuana. Kinuna ti ari, “Adtoy, daytoy a rigat ket naggapu kenni Yahweh. Apay koma nga agurayak pay laeng kenni Yahweh?”
While he was still talking with them, behold, the messenger came down to him. Then he said, “Behold, this evil is from the LORD. Why should I wait for the LORD any longer?”
