And sons of the prophet say to Elisha, “Now behold, the place where we are dwelling before you is too narrow for us;
2 Kut siyuk sum kut in som nu ke Infacl Jordan ac pakiya kutu sak ah kut in musaela sie pac lohm ah sesr.” Elisha el topuk, “Wona.”
please let us go to the Jordan, and we each take one beam from there, and we make a place there for ourselves to dwell there”; and he says, “Go.”
3 Sie selos kwafe tuh Elisha elan welulos som, ac el insese nu sel,
And the one says, “Please be willing, and go with your servants”; and he says, “I go.”
4 na elos tukeni mukuiyak. Ke elos sun Infacl Jordan, elos mutawauk orekma.
And he goes with them, and they come to the Jordan, and cut down the trees,
5 Ke sie selos tufahna paki sak soko, na sifen tula soko ah putatla nu inkof ah. El fahk nu sel Elisha, “Leum luk, mea nga ac oru? Tula soko inge ma ngusrla!”
and it comes to pass, the one is felling the beam, and the iron [ax head] has fallen into the water, and he cries and says, “Aah! My lord, for it was borrowed!”
6 Elisha el siyuk, “Putatla ya?” Mukul sac srisrngiya nu sel acn sac, na Elisha el pakela polosak se ac sisla nu insac, na sifen tula soko ah pahtak.
And the man of God says, “To where has it fallen?” And he shows him the place, and he cuts a stick, and casts [it] there, and causes the iron to swim,
7 El sap, “Sruokya.” Na mukul sac saplakla srukak.
and says, “Raise [it] up for yourself”; and he puts forth his hand and takes it.
8 Tokosra lun Syria el mweun lain Israel. El pwapa yurin mwet leum lun mwet mweun lal, ac sulela sie acn elos in aktuktuk we.
And the king of Aram has been fighting against Israel, and takes counsel with his servants, saying, “At such and such a place [is] my encamping.”
9 Tuh Elisha el supwala kas nu sin tokosra lun Israel in sensenkunul elan tia som apkuran nu in acn sac, mweyen mwet mweun lun Syria elos wikwik soanelos we.
And the man of God sends to the king of Israel, saying, “Take heed of passing by this place, for the Arameans are coming down there”;
10 Ouinge tokosra lun Israel el fahkang ma inge nu sin mwet Israel su muta in acn sac, elos in ngusrikyak ac akola. Ouiya se inge sikyak pacl pus.
and the king of Israel sends to the place of which the man of God spoke to him, and warned him, and he is preserved there not [just] once and not [just] twice.
11 Tokosra Syria el arulana kasrkusrak ke lumah se inge. El pangoneni mwet leum lun un mwet mweun lal ac siyuk selos, “Su kac suwos wi layen lun tokosra Israel uh?”
And the heart of the king of Aram is tossed about concerning this thing, and he calls to his servants and says to them, “Do you not declare to me who of us [is] for the king of Israel?”
12 Sie selos topuk, “Tia sie sesr. Mwet palu Elisha pa muta fahk nu sin tokosra lun Israel ma nukewa ma kom fahk uh, finne ma fwack in lukma infukil sum an.”
And one of his servants says, “No, my lord, O king, for Elisha the prophet, who [is] in Israel, declares to the king of Israel the words that you speak in the inner part of your bed-chamber.”
13 Na tokosra el sapkin, “Sokolak lah el oasr ya, nga in sruokilya.” Ke fwackyang nu sel lah Elisha el oasr in acn Dothan,
And he says, “Go and see where he [is], and I send and take him”; and it is declared to him, saying, “Behold—in Dothan.”
14 tokosra el supwala un mwet mweun na lulap se nu we wi horse ac chariot. Elos sun acn we ke fong, ac kuhlusya acn sac.
And he sends horses and chariot, and a heavy force there, and they come in by night, and go around against the city.
15 Toang na ke lotu se tok ah, mwet kulansap se lal Elisha illa liki lohm ah, ac liye lah un mwet mweun lun Syria wi horse ac chariot natulos raunela siti uh. El folokla ac fahk nu sel Elisha, “Pakomuta, kut ac lalna! Mea kut ac oru?”
And the servant of the man of God rises early, and goes out, and behold, a force is surrounding the city, and horse and chariot, and his young man says to him, “Aah! My lord, how do we do?”
16 Elisha el topuk, “Nimet sangeng. Pus mwet wi kut lukelos.”
And he says, “Do not fear, for more [are] they who [are] with us than they who [are] with them.”
17 Na el pre, “O LEUM GOD, ikasla mutal elan ku in liye!” LEUM GOD El topuk pre lal, ac mwet kulansap lal Elisha el ngetak ac liye lah pe eol uh sessesla ke horse ac chariot e, raunella Elisha.
And Elisha prays and says, “YHWH, please open his eyes, and he sees”; and YHWH opens the eyes of the young man, and he sees, and behold, the hill is full of horses and chariots of fire around Elisha.
18 Ke mwet Syria elos oatui in lainulos, Elisha el pre, “O LEUM GOD, konela mutun mwet inge.” LEUM GOD El topuk pre lal, ac konela mutalos.
And they come down to it, and Elisha prays to YHWH and says, “Please strike this nation with blindness”; and He strikes them with blindness, according to the word of Elisha.
19 Na Elisha el som nu yorolos ac fahk, “Tafongla inkanek lowos an. Tia pa inge siti se kowos suk an. Fahsr tukuk ac nga fah pwen kowos nu yurin mwet se kowos suk an.” Ac el kololosla nu Samaria.
And Elisha says to them, “This [is] not the way, nor [is] this the city; come after me, and I lead you to the man whom you seek”; and he leads them to Samaria.
20 Pacl se na ma elos utyak nu in siti ah, Elisha el pre ac fahk, “LEUM GOD, ikasla mutalos elos in liye.” LEUM GOD El lohng pre lal, ac ikasla mutalos ac elos liye tuh na elos oasr in acn Samaria.
And it comes to pass, at their coming to Samaria, that Elisha says, “YHWH, open the eyes of these, and they see”; and YHWH opens their eyes, and they see, and behold, [they are] in the midst of Samaria!
21 Ke pacl se tokosra lun Israel el liye mwet Syria inge, el siyuk sel Elisha, “Ku nga ac uniya mwet Syria inge? Nga ac onelosi?”
And the king of Israel says to Elisha at his seeing them, “My father, do I strike, do I strike?”
22 El topuk, “Mo. Finne mwet mweun su kom sruokya ke mweun, kom ac tia uniya. Sang kutu ma elos in kang ac nim, ac lela elos in folokla nu yurin tokosra lalos.”
And he says, “You do not strike; are you striking those whom you have taken captive with your sword and with your bow? Set bread and water before them, and they eat, and drink, and go to their lord.”
23 Ouinge tokosra Israel el orala kufwa na yohk se nu selos, na tukun elos mongo ac nim tari, el supwalosla nu yurin tokosra Syria. Tukun pacl sac me, mwet Syria tia sifil orek lokoalok nu sin mwet Israel.
And he prepares great provision for them, and they eat and drink, and he sends them away, and they go to their lord: and troops of Aram have not added to come into the land of Israel anymore.
24 In kutu pacl tok, Tokosra Benhadad lun Syria el us mwet mweun lal nukewa in lain Israel, ac kuhlusya siti Samaria.
And it comes to pass afterward, that Ben-Hadad king of Aram gathers all his camp, and goes up, and lays siege to Samaria,
25 Ke sripen kuhlusyuki se inge, arulana sufalla mwe mongo nu sin mwet in siti uh, oru sifen donkey soko kukala ke ipin silver oalngoul, ac tafun paun ke koanonsien wuleoa kukala ke ipin silver limekosr.
and there is a great famine in Samaria, and behold, they are laying siege to it, until the head of a donkey is at eighty pieces of silver, and a forth of the cab of dove’s dung at five pieces of silver.
26 Tokosra lun Israel el forfor fin pot in siti uh ke mutan se wola nu sel ac fahk, “O Tokosra, kasreyu!”
And it comes to pass, the king of Israel is passing by on the wall, and a woman has cried to him, saying, “Save, my lord, O king.”
27 Ac tokosra el topuk, “LEUM GOD El fin tia kasrekom, kasru fuka nga ac ku in oru nu sum? Ku mea, oasr wheat ku wain yuruk?
And he says, “YHWH does not save you—from where do I save you? Out of the threshing-floor or out of the wine-vat?”
28 Mea elya lom an?” Mutan sac topuk, “In kutu len somla mutan se inge pwapa nu sik kut in kangla tulik se nutik, na len tok ah kut fah kangla tulik natul ah.
And the king says to her, “What is [troubling] you?” And she says, “This woman said to me, Give your son, and we eat him today, and we eat my son tomorrow;
29 Na kut akmolyela wen se nutik ac kangla, na len tok ah nga fahk nu sel kut in kangla wen natul ah, a el okanulla!”
and we boil my son and eat him, and I say to her on the next day, Give your son, and we eat him; and she hides her son.”
30 Ke tokosra el lohng ma inge, el arulana toasrla ac salik nuknuk lal, ac mwet ma muta fototo nu ke pot ah ku in liye lah el nukum nuknuk yohk eoa se ye nuknuk lal ah.
And it comes to pass, at the king’s hearing the words of the woman, that he tears his garments, and he is passing by on the wall, and the people see, and behold, the sackcloth [is] within on his flesh.
31 Tokosra el liksreni fahk, “Lela LEUM GOD Elan uniyuwi ngan misa, fin tia tahtla kwawal Elisha meet liki fongeni!”
And he says, “Thus God does to me and thus He adds, if the head of Elisha son of Shaphat remains on him this day.”
32 Ac el supwala mwet se in tuh usalu Elisha. In pacl sacna, Elisha el muta inkul sel wi mwet matu su tuku nu yorol. Meet liki mwet se ma tokosra el supu ah sun acn we, Elisha el fahk nu sin mwet matu inge, “Mwet akmas sac ac supwama mwet se in tuh uniyuwi. El fin sun acn inge, kowos kaliya srungul an, ac nimet lela elan utyak. Tokosra el ac sa na tuku tokol.”
And Elisha is sitting in his house, and the elderly are sitting with him, and [the king] sends a man from before him; before the messenger comes to him, even he himself said to the elderly, “Have you seen that this son of the murderer has sent [him] to turn aside my head? See, at the coming in of the messenger, shut the door, and you have held him fast at the door, is not the sound of the feet of his lord behind him?”
33 El tufahna fahkla ma inge na tokosra el sun acn we, ac fahk, “LEUM GOD pa use mwe lokoalok inge nu facsr uh! Mea pac kut ac soanel nu kac an?”
He is yet speaking with them, and behold, the messenger is coming down to him, and he says, “Behold, this [is] the calamity from YHWH; why do I wait for YHWH anymore?”
