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.”
Elisha replied, “Listen to the message from the Lord. This is what the Lord says: Around this time tomorrow a seah of the best flour will sell for a shekel, and two seahs of barley will sell for a shekel at the gate 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.”
The officer who was the king's assistant said to the man of God, “Look, even if the Lord opened windows in heaven what you say couldn't happen!” Elisha replied, “You'll see it with your own eyes, but you won't get to eat any of it.”
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?
There happened to be four men with leprosy at the entrance of the city gate. They said to each other, “Why are we sitting around here until we die?
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, ‘Let's go into the city,’ we'll die because of the famine there; but if we go on sitting here, we'll die too. So come on, let's go to the camp of the Arameans and surrender to them. If they let us live, we'll live; if they kill us, we'll die.”
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 they set off when it was getting dark and went to the camp of the Arameans. But when they arrived at the edge of the camp, nobody was 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 Arameans hear the sound of chariots, horses, and a large army approaching, so they said to each other, “The king of Israel has hired the kings of the Hittites and Egyptians to come and attack 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 jumped up and ran away into the night, leaving behind their tents, their horses, and their donkeys. In fact the camp was left just as it was when they ran 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.
When the lepers got to the edge of the camp, they went into a tent and ate and drank. Then they took the silver, gold, and clothes, and hid them. After that they went back to another tent, took some things from there, and hid them.
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 each other, “It's not right what we're doing. This is a day of good news, and if we keep quiet about it and wait until it gets light, we're sure to be punished. So let's go right away and let them know at the king's palace.”
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.”
They went and called to the gatekeepers of the city, “We went over to the Aramean camp and no one was there, not a sound of anybody! There were just horses and donkeys tied up, and the tents just as they were.”
11 Mwet topang uh fahkak pweng sac, na srumunyukelik inkul sin tokosra.
The gatekeepers shouted out the news, and reports reached the royal palace.
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.”
The king got up in the night and said to his officers, “Let me tell you the trick the Arameans are trying to play on us. They know we're starving, so they have left the camp and hidden in the field, thinking, ‘When they leave the city, we'll take them alive and be able to enter the city.’”
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.”
One of his officers suggested, “Have some men take five of the remaining horses in the city. What happens to them will be the same as that of all the Israelites left here, All the Israelites here are doomed. Let's send them to find out what's going on.”
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 got two chariots ready with their horses, and the king sent them out to the Aramean camp, telling them “Go and take a look.”
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.
They went after them as far as the Jordan, and the whole way was full of clothing and equipment the Arameans had thrown aside as they ran away. The messengers returned and reported 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 looted the camp of the Arameans. So a seah of the best flour sold for a shekel, and two seahs of barley sold for a shekel, just as the Lord had predicted.
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.
The king had put the officer who was his assistant in charge of the gate. In their rush the people trampled him in the gateway and he died, just as the man of God had said when the king visited 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,
What the man of God had told the king also came true when he said, “Around this time tomorrow a seah of the best flour will sell for a shekel, and two seahs of barley will sell for a shekel at the gate 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.”
Also the officer who was the king's assistant had said to the man of God, “Look, even if the Lord opened windows in heaven what you say couldn't happen!” Elisha had replied, “You'll see it with your own eyes, but you won't get to eat any of it.”
20 Na pa ingan ma sikyak nu sel — lolongyuki el nwe ke el misa ke mutunpot nu in siti ah.
This is what happened to him. The people trampled him in the gateway and he died.
