1 Hanki mago zupa Ra Anumzamofo kasnampa vahepinti mago kasnampa ne' fri'nea ne'mofo kento a'mo Elisana amanage huno eme asmi'ne, Muse hugantoanki nenave'ma ko'ma fri'neana kagra ko antahi'nane. Hagi ofri'ma mani'neno'a kamage nenteno, Ra Anumzamofona monora hunte'ne. Hianagi mago ne'mofontegati zagoa nofi hu'neankino, ana ne'mo'a eno eme tare ne'mofavre ni'ararena zanavreno vanigeke kazokazo eri'za omerintegaha'e.

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 Anage higeno ana ara Elisa'a amanage huno asmi'ne, Inankna hu'na nagra kaza hugahue? Nonka'afina na'a ante'nane, higeno ana a'mo'a ke nona'a huno, Muse hugantoanki mago'a zana onte'noe. Hianagi osi'a olivi masave antogeno taferopina me'ne.

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 Higeno Elisa'a ana ara asmino, Vunka tvaonka'arema nemaniza vahera zamantahigenka kavoramina osi'a e'orinka rama'a erio.

Elisha said, “Go to your neighbors and borrow from them as many empty jars as you can.

4 Hanki anama hute'nunka, kagrane tare mofavre ka'anena nompi ufreta kafana erigita nemanita, ana maka kavofi masavena taginte vagareho. Anama nehanankenoma mago kavomo'ma aviteterema haniana, rure erintetere huo.

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 Ana kema Elisa'ma hiana ana a'mo'a antahiteno, vuno vahe kavoramina zamantahigeno eritru huteno, tare ne'ararene noma'afi ufreno kahana erigiteno, tare ne'ararena ke higeke kavoa eri amitere hakeno masavena tagintetere huno evu'ne.

[So she did what Elisha told her to do]. Her sons kept bringing jars to her, and she kept filling them.

6 Hanki ana a'mo'ma ana maka kavoramimpima masavema tagintegeno avite vagaretegeno, mago mofavre'agu huno, Mago'a kavoma me'nesiana eri namio, huno higeno mofavre'amo'a kenona'a huno, Magore huno kavoa omne'neanki hago vagare. Higeno masavemo'ma ne-eretira anante vagare'ne.

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 Anante ana a'mo'a Ra Anumzamofo kasnampa ne' Elisana anazama fore'ma hiazana ome asamigeno, Elisa'a ana ara asmino, Vunka ana masaveramina ome zagore atrenka zagoma erisunka, negave'ma nofi'ma hu'neana zagoa apanesenka, mago'a mesia zagoa kagrane mofavre ka'ararene ne'zana mizaseta neneta maniho huno hu'ne.

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 Hanki mago zupa Elisa'a Sunemi rankumate vigeno, ana kumapina mago feno ara mani'neankino, ana a'mo'a kehigeno noma'afinti ne'zana ome ne'ne. Ana hu'neankino Elisa'ma Sunemi kumate'ma mago'a zupama eterema nehuno'a, ana a'mofo nompintike ne'zana eme ne'ne.

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 Hanki mago'a kna evutegeno, ana a'mo'a nevena amanage huno asmi'ne, Ama ne'ma eno'ma tagranema ne'zama eme neterema nehia nera, nagrama antahi'noana Ra Anumzamofo ruotge kasnampa ne' mani'ne.

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 E'ina hu'negu tagra nonti'amofo agofetu Elisa'ma masesia nona mago hunaraginteteta, anampinka mase sipane, ne'zama anteno nesia tra'ene, manisia tra'ene tro hunteteta, lamu tavi'ene anampinka antente'nesukeno, tagri'ma tageku'ma eterema hania zupa, anama hunaragintepinka umrerino umasegahie.

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 Hanki mago zupa Elisa'a Sunemi kumate eno, anama hunaragintepinka evumarerino umaseno mani'ne.

One day Elisha returned to Shunem, and he went up to that room to rest.

12 Ana huteno Elisa'a kato ne'a Gehasina amanage huno hunte'ne, Ama noma retro'ma hunte'nea ara ome kehugeno eno, higeno Gehasi'a vuno ana ara ome kehigeno e'ne.

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 Anama higeno'a Elisa'a amanage huno Gehasina asmi'ne, Vunka ana ara na'a kagrira mago so'ezana hugantegahu'e hunka ome antahigo. Hagi kagrama hu izo hanankeno'a, amne Elisa'a vuno kini netero, sondia vahete ugota hu'nea nera ome zamageno kavesisia zanku'ma hnanana, ome zamasaminege'za amne trohugahaze hunka asmio. Higeno Gehasi'a ana ara anankea ome asmigeno, ana amo'a kenona huno, Nagra vahe'ni'ane knare hu'na mani'noanki'na mago'zankura atupara osu'noe.

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 Higeno ana ke'ma Gehasi'ma eno Elisama eme asmigeno'a Elisa'a huno, Knare avu'avazama ana a'mo'ma hurante'nerera na'a huntegahu'e? Higeno Gehasi'a amanage hu'ne, Ne' mofavrea onte'negeno neve'a ko ranafa re'ne.

[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 Anage higeno Elisa'a ana ara ome kehugeno eno higeno, Gehasi'a ome kehigeno eno kahante eme oti'ne.

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 Ana hutegeno Elisa'a ana ara amanage huno asmi'ne, Anaga'a kafufina meni amana knare, ne' mofavreka'a kazampi avaregahane. Higeno ana a'mo'a ke nona huno, kvanimoka Ra Anumzamofo eri'za vahe mani'nanki havigea osuo.

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 Hianagi ana a'mo'a henka mofavre amu'ene huno, Elisa'ma hu'nea kante anteno anaga'a kafufina, ana kna fatgore ne' mofavre kasente'ne.

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 Hanki henka ana mofavremo'a ra huteno mago zupa, nefa'a hozafi eri'za vahe'anema witi nevasgazafi vu'ne.

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 Hanki anampi mani'neno nefana asmino, Nase'nimo'a tusi natagrie, natagrie, huno higeno, nefa'a mago eri'za vahe hunteno, avrenka nerera'ma mani'nerega vuo.

[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 Higeno eri'za ne'mo'a ana mofavrea avresga huno nerera ome ami'geno, nerera asumpi maseno mani'negeno vuno ferusegeno fri'ne.

So the servant carried him home, and his mother held him on her lap. But at noontime the boy died.

21 Ana higeno ana a'mo'a anama fria mofavre'a erino marerino, Anumzamofo eri'za vahe Elisa'ma nemasea sipare ome antemaseteno, kafa erinegino atreno atirami'ne.

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 Anante ana a'mo'a nevena kezatimino anage hu'ne, Muse hugantoanki mago eri'za ne'ene mago donki afura namige'na Ra Anumzamofo kasnampa ne' ame hu'na ome kete'na a'neno.

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 Anage higeno ana a'mofo neve'a huno, Menina kasefa ikana omnege, mani fruhu kna Sabatia omne'neanki, na'a higenka menina vu'za nehane? Hianagi ana a'mo'a huno, E'ina hu'neanagi knare hu'neanki'na amne vugahue.

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 Anante ana a'mo'a donki afura azerinte fatgo nehuno, eri'za ne'agura huno, avazu hunka ame'ma hunka vuo. Hanki donkimo'ma akoheno vinogura nagrake'za kasamigahue.

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 Hanki anage hutegeke, ana a'ene eri'za ne'anena, Ra Anumzamofo kasnampa ne' Elisa ome keku Karmeli agonare vu'na'e. Hanki zanagra afete nevakeno Elisa'a nezanageno kato ne'a Gehasina asamino, antu Sunemiti a' ne-eanki ko.

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 Hanki kagra kagarenka vunka ana a'ra ome negenka, kagrane, negave'ene, mofavreka'anena knare huta mani'nazo? hunka antahigo. Higeno Gehasi'a anankema ome asmigeno'a, ana a'mo'a kenona'a huno, mago kea omne'neanki knare huta mani'none.

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 Hanki ana a'mo'ma Ra Anumzamofo eri'za ne'ma agonafima mani'nere uhanatino, Elisana agiafi rena nereno, agiare azeri antroko hu'ne, anama hiaza Gehasi'ma negeno'a, ana ara retufe ogantu atreku hu'neanagi, Elisa'a Gehasina asmino, Agra tusi'a knazampi mani'negahianki atrenenka ko. Hagi agrama knafima mani'neazana Ra Anumzamo'a knafi mani'ne huno onasami'ne.

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 Anante ana a'mo'a anage hu'ne, Kva vahe'ni'a Ra Anumzamofo eri'za vahe'moka, nagra ne'mofavregura kantahi onkenoanki, kagrama hana kante anteno Anumzamo mofavrea nami'ne. Hianagi nagrama hu'noana renavataga osuo hu'na hu'noe.

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 Ana ke'ma Elisa'ma nentahino'a, Gehasina anage huno asmi'ne, Zaza kenaka'a kamu nofipi eri pasihunka ahenevazinka kazampina azompani'a enerinka kagarenka Sunemi rankumate vuo. Hanki kantegama vahe'ma nezmagesunka keaga huozaminka, keagama hunegami sagenkanena kenona osunka, vuvava hunka ana a'mofo nompi umarerinka ana mofavremofo avugosafi azompania omento.

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 Hianagi ana mofavremofo nerera'a amanage hu'ne, Kasefa huno mani'nea Ra Anumzamofo avufine kagri kavufine tamage hu'na nehuankina, nagra katre'na ovugahue, higeno Elisa'a otino ana a'ene Sunemi ete vu'ne.

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 Hanki Gehasia vugota huno Elisa azompa ana mofavremofo avugosafi ome ante'ne. Hianagi tamage huno mago'zana forera osu'ne. Ana higeno Gehasia ete vuno Elisa'ma kantegama ne-egeno ome asmino, Kema nasmi'nazana ome huanagi ana mofavremo'a oraoti'ne.

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 Higeno Elisa'a nonte uhanatiteno umarerino keana, agrama nemasea sipare, anama fri'nea risera mase'negeno ke'ne.

When Elisha reached the house, he saw that the boy was lying dead on his bed.

33 Hagi hunaragintepinka umarerino kahana erigiteno, Ra Anumzamofontega nunamuna hu'ne.

Elisha went into the room by himself and shut the door and prayed to Yahweh.

34 Anante ana rise'ma mase'nea sipare marerino ana rise'mofo agofetu unemaseno, agira agite nenteno, avurga avure nenteno, azana azante ante'ne. Ana higeno ana rise'mofo avufgamo'a osi'a amuho hukna hu'ne.

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 Amuho higeno otino osi'a ana nompi vano huteno ete mago'ene ana huno avufgare mase'ne. Mase'negeno seveni'a zupa kasera ruteno avurga ruhari hu'ne.

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 Ana'ma nehiana Elisa'a Gehasina kehigeno egeno anage huno asmi'ne, vunka nererana ome kehugeno eno, higeno kema hiaza huno Gehasi'a ana ara ome kehigeno emarerigeno, Elisa'a huno, ne'mofavreka'a ete avro.

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 Higeno ana a'mo'a anampinka emarerino Elisana agafi avugosaregati emeseno kepri huno humuse hunenteno, ana mofavre'a avreno megi'a atiramino vu'ne.

She [gratefully] prostrated herself at Elisha’s feet. Then she picked up her son and carried him downstairs.

38 Mago'a kna evutegeno Elisa'a eteno Gilgali vu'neana ana mopafina ne'zana fanane higeno tusi'a zamaga tonto hu'ne. Hanki anampima mago'a nemaniza kasnampa vahe'mo'za agrane mago zupa eme eritru hu'za mani'naze. Ana hazageno Elisa'a kato ne'a amanage huno asmi'ne, Rankavo erinka ana kasnampa vahera ne'zana krezamanto.

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 Higeno kasnampa vahepinti mago'mo vuno kamo'za ome huno eme kreku nevuno ome keana, afi hagonefa rente'negeno ome keteno, e'i afi hagonefa me'ne huno ontahineno, mago'a tagiazamo zaza kena'afi erinteno e'ne. Eteno anante eme akrakru hiazamo ana kamo'ene kavofina kre'ne.

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 Hanki ana ne'zama tafepi atintete'za, ana kasnampa vahe'mo'za agafa hu'za nene'za krafa hu'za, Ra Anumzamofo vahe Elisaga ama ne'zamo'a tusi akaheankino vahe tahe frigahie nehu'za one'za atre'naze.

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 Hanki anama hazageno Elisa'a zamasamino, witireti trohu flaua erita eho, hige'za eri'za azageno ana kamo'ma kre'naza kavofi ana flauara netreno kato ne'agu huno, refko hunka tafepi zamige'za neho. Higeno kema hiaza huno eri'za ne'amo'a maka kasnampa vahera atino zamige'za ne'nazanagi, ana ne'zamo'a zamazeri havizana osu'ne.

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 Mago zupa Ba'al-Salisa rankumateti e'nea ne'mo'a, ese hamre'naza bali ragareti tro hu'naza bretiramina 20'a enerino, mago'a kasefa bali raganena ku'afi erarineno Ra Anumzamofo eri'za ne' Elisante egeno, Elisa'a kato ne'a asmino, Ama ne'zana ama vahera zamige'za neho.

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 Anage higeno kato ne'amo'a Elisana antahigeno, Inankna hu'na ama 100'a vahera, asama ne'zana zamisuge'za negahaze. Higeno Elisa'a ana kemofo nona huno, Zaminke'za neho. Na'ankure Ra Anumzamo'a huno, nenesageno mago'a amne megahie hianki zaminke'za neho.

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 Anante Elisana kato ne'amo'a ana ne'zana zamige'za nenageno, Ra Anumzamo'ma hu'nea kante anteno mago'a amne me'ne.

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.
