Luo Tokosra 7

1 Elisha el topuk, “Lohng ma LEUM GOD El fahk uh! Pacl se inge lutu, in acn Samaria kom ac ku in moli paun singoul ke wheat wowo ku paun longoul ke barley ke ipin silver sefanna.”

Then Elisha said, Give ear to the word of the Lord: the Lord says, Tomorrow, about this time, a measure of good meal will be offered for the price of a shekel and two measures of barley for a shekel, in the market-place of Samaria.

2 Mwet tutafpo fulat lun tokosra el fahk nu sel Elisha, “Ma ingan tia ku in sikyak, LEUM GOD El finne sifacna supwama wheat ingena!” Elisha el fahk, “Kom ac fah liye ke ma ingan ac sikyak, tusruktu kom ac tia ku in wi mongo kac.”

Then the captain whose arm was supporting the king said to the man of God, Even if the Lord made windows in heaven, would such a thing be possible? And he said, Your eyes will see it, but you will not have a taste of the food.

3 Mwet akosr su musen lepa, ac muta likin mutunpot nu Samaria, elos fahk nu sin sie sin sie, “Mwe mea kut in mutana inse inge soan misa?

Now there were four lepers seated at the doorway into the town: and they said to one another, Why are we waiting here for death?

4 Wangin sripa kut in som nu in siti uh, mweyen kut ac tuh masrinsral ac misa we. Ac kut fin mutana inge kut ac misa pacna. Tari kut som nu yen mwet mweun Syria elos aktuktuk we. Sahp elos ac pakomutasr na kut ac moul, tuh elos fin tia, na kut ac nuna misa na.”

If we say, We will go into the town, there is no food in the town, and we will come to our end there; and if we go on waiting here, death will come to us. Come then, let us give ourselves up to the army of Aram: if they let us go on living, then life will be ours; and if they put us to death, then death will be ours.

5 Ouinge ke mutawauk in lohsrani, elos som nu nien aktuktuk lun mwet Syria ah, tusruktu ke elos sun acn we tia mwet se we.

So in the half light they got up to go to the tents of Aram; but when they came to the outer line of tents, there was no one there.

6 LEUM GOD El tuh oru mwet Syria elos lohng pusra se ma oana pusren un mwet mweun puspis wi horse ac chariot, na mwet Syria elos nunku mu tokosra Israel el moli su sin mwet mweun lun tokosra Hit ac tokosra Egypt in mweunelos.

For the Lord had made the sound of carriages and horses, and the noise of a great army, come to the ears of the Aramaeans, so that they said to one another, Truly, the king of Israel has got the kings of the Hittites and of the Egyptians for a price to make an attack on us.

7 Na ke ekela, mwet Syria elos tuh kaingla in suk moul lalos, ac sisla lohm nuknuk selos oayapa horse ac donkey natulos, ac som liki nien aktuktuk lalos, ac ma nukewa oanna yen oan we.

So they got up and went in flight, in the half light, without their tents or their horses or their asses or any of their goods; they went in flight, fearing for their lives.

8 Ke mwet akosr ah sun sisken nien aktuktuk sac elos utyak nu in sie lohm nuknuk, kangla ac numla ma oan we, ac srukak silver, gold ac nuknuk ma elos konauk we, ac usla okanla. Na elos sifilpa folokyak nu in sie pac lohm nuknuk, ac oru oapana ma elos oru meet ah.

And when those lepers came to the outer line of tents, they went into one tent, and had food and drink, and took from it silver and gold and clothing, which they put in a secret place; then they came back and went into another tent from which they took more goods, which they put away in a secret place.

9 Na elos asmakla ac fahk nu sin sie sin sie, “Tia wo kut in oru ouinge! Oasr pweng wo sesr, ac tia wo kut in okanla. Kut fin soano in lenelik na kut fah fahkak, kalem lah ac kalyeiyuk kut. Kut som ingena ac fahkak nu sin mwet fulat lun tokosra!”

Then they said to one another, We are not doing right. Today is a day of good news, and we say nothing: if we go on waiting here till the morning, punishment will come to us. So let us go and give the news to those of the king's house.

10 Ouinge elos som liki nien aktuktuk lun mwet Syria, folokla nu Samaria ac pangyak nu sin mwet topang ke mutunpot, ac fahk, “Kut som nu ke nien aktuktuk lun mwet Syria tuh na wangin mwet kut liye we ac wangin pac pusren mwet kut lohng. Horse ac donkey ah tia pac tuleyukla, ac lohm nuknuk ah oanna oana ke mwet Syria som liki ah.”

So they came in, and, crying out to the door-keepers of the town, they gave them the news, saying, We came to the tents of the Aramaeans, and there was no one there and no voice of man, only the horses and the asses in their places, and the tents as they were.

11 Mwet topang uh fahkak pweng sac, na srumunyukelik inkul sin tokosra.

Then the door-keepers, crying out, gave the news to those inside the king's house.

12 Srakna fong, a tokosra el tukakek liki motul lal ac fahk nu sin mwet pwapa lal, “Ngan fahk nu suwos lah mea se mwet Syria elos ako in oru inge. Elos etu ke sracl se yenu inge, pa elos som liki acn elos mutangan aktuktuk we ac wikla insak uten acn uh. Elos nunku mu kut ac som liki siti uh in sukok mwe mongo, na elos ac sapmoulikuti ac eisla siti uh.”

Then the king got up in the night and said to his servants, This is my idea of what the Aramaeans have done to us. They have knowledge that we are without food; and so they have gone out of their tents, and are waiting secretly in the open country, saying, When they come out of the town, we will take them living and get into the town.

13 Sie sin mwet pwapa lal ah fahk, “Mwet in siti se inge ac nuna misa pacna, oana mwet ma misa tari. Ke ma inge kut supwala kutu mwet uh wi horse limekosr sin horse ma lula uh kut in mau ku in konauk lah mea sikyak.”

And one of his servants said in answer, Send men and let them take five of the horses which we still have in the town; if they keep their lives they will be the same as those of Israel who are still living here; if they come to their death they will be the same as all those of Israel who have gone to destruction: let us send and see.

14 Elos sulela mwet ekasr, ac tokosra el supwala mwet inge fin chariot lukwa, ac sang kas nu selos mu elos in som suk lah mea sikyak nu sin mwet mweun Syria ah.

So they took two horsemen; and the king sent them after the army of the Aramaeans, saying, Go and see.

15 Mwet inge som na nwe sun Infacl Jordan, ac elos liye na nuknuk ac kufwen orekma ma mwet Syria elos sisla inkanek ah ke elos kaing. Na elos folokla ac fahkak ma inge nu sin tokosra.

And they went after them as far as Jordan; and all the road was covered with clothing and vessels dropped by the Aramaeans in their flight. So those who were sent went back and gave the news to the king.

16 Mwet Samaria elos yuyak ac orani ma wap ke nien aktuktuk lun mwet Syria. Na oana ke LEUM GOD El tuh fahk, paun in wheat wowo singoul ku paun in barley longoul kukakinyukla ke ipin silver sefanna.

Then the people went out and took the goods from the tents of the Aramaeans. So a measure of good meal was to be had for the price of a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, as the Lord had said.

17 Sikyak tuh na tokosra lun Israel el sang taranyen mutunpot lun siti uh nu ye kolyuk lun mwet tutafpo fulat se lal ah. Na mwet sac tuh lolongyuki sin mwet uh, ac el misa ke mutunpot ah, oana ke Elisha el palye ac fahk ke pacl se tokosra el tuh som nu yorol.

And the king gave authority to that captain, on whose arm he was supported, to have control over the doorway into the town; but he was crushed to death there under the feet of the people, as the man of God had said when the king went down to him.

18 Elisha el tuh fahk nu sin tokosra lah in pacl sacna ke len se tok ah, paun singoul ke wheat wowo ku paun longoul ke barley ac fah kukala ke ipin silver sefanna in Samaria,

So the words of the man of God came true, which he said to the king: Two measures of barley will be offered for the price of a shekel and a measure of good meal for a shekel, tomorrow about this time in the market-place of Samaria.

19 na ke Elisha el tuh fahk ouinge, leum sac tuh fahk, “Ma ingan tia ku in sikyak, LEUM GOD El finne sifacna supwama wheat ingena!” Ac Elisha el tuh topuk mu, “Kom ac fah liye ke ma ingan ac sikyak, tusruktu kom ac tia ku in wi mongo kac.”

And that captain said to the man of God, Even if the Lord made windows in heaven, would such a thing be possible? And he said to him, Your eyes will see it, but you will not have a taste of the food.

20 Na pa ingan ma sikyak nu sel — lolongyuki el nwe ke el misa ke mutunpot nu in siti ah.

And such was his fate; for he was crushed to death under the feet of the people, in the doorway into the town.
