Luo Tokosra 8
1 Na Elisha el tuh fahk nu sin mutan se ma muta Shunem, su el tuh akmoulyauk wen se natu ah, lah LEUM GOD El ac supwama sracl se nu fin acn uh ke lusen yac itkosr, ac mutan sac in som liki acn uh wi sou lal, ac muta in siena acn saya.
After Elisha caused the son of the woman from Shunem [town] to become alive again, he told her that she should leave with her family and live somewhere else for a while, because Yahweh was going to (send a famine/cause food to become very scarce) in the land. He said that the famine would last for seven years.
2 Mutan sac tuh wi na ma fwackyang nu sel ah, na el ac sou lal ah som muta Philistia ke yac itkosr.
So the woman did what Elisha told her to do. She and her family went to live in [the] Philistia [region] for seven years.
3 Ke safla yac itkosr ah, el foloko nu Israel, ac el som nu yorol tokosra ac siyuk tuh lohm sel ac acn sel in folokyang nu sel.
After the seven years were ended, they returned to their home. The woman went to the king to request that her house and her land be given back to her.
4 Ke el utyak, tokosra el sramsram nu sel Gehazi, mwet kulansap lal Elisha. Tokosra el lungse etu ke mwenmen lal Elisha.
When she arrived, the king was talking with Gehazi, Elisha’s servant. The king was saying to him, “Tell me all the great things that Elisha has done.”
5 Ke pacl se Gehazi el srumun nu sel tokosra ke luman ma Elisha el oru ke el akmoulyauk sie mwet misa, na mutan sac sang pac siyuk lal nu sel tokosra. Gehazi el fahk nu sel, “Leum fulat, pa ingan mutan sac, ac pa ingan wen se natul ma Elisha el akmoulyauk ah!”
While Gehazi was telling the king that Elisha had caused the son of a woman [from Shunem] to become alive again, that woman came in and requested the king to enable her to get her house and land back again. Gehazi exclaimed, “Your Majesty, this is the woman whose son Elisha caused to become alive again!”
6 Ke tokosra el kusen siyuk kac, mutan sac el akkeyala ma Gehazi el fahk. Na tokosra el pangonma sie mwet pwapa lal ac fahkang elan folokonang ma nukewa lun mutan sac nu sel, weang pac molin fokin ima ke acn sel ke lusen yac itkosr ma el muta ke siena facl.
When the king asked her about it, she told him [that what Gehazi had said was true]. The king summoned one of his officials and said to him, “[I want] everything that this woman possessed previously, including the value of all the crops that have been harvested during these last seven years while she was away from her land, [to] be given back to her.” [So the official did that].
7 Elisha el som nu Damascus ke pacl se ma Tokosra Benhadad lun Syria el mas. Ke fwackyang nu sel tokosra lah Elisha el oasr we,
Elisha went to Damascus, [the capital of Syria], when Ben-Hadad, the king of Syria, was [very] sick. When someone told the king that Elisha was in Damascus,
8 tokosra el fahk nu sel Hazael, sie sin mwet pwapa lal ah, “Us sie mwe lung an sang nu sin mwet palu sac, ac sap elan lolngok nu sin LEUM GOD lah nga ac kwela ku tia.”
the king told [one of his officials named] Hazael, “Go and talk to that prophet and take a present/gift with you to give to him. Request him to ask Yahweh if I will recover from my illness.”
9 Na Hazael el nwakla kain in ma wo nukewa in acn Damascus nu fin camel angngaul, ac som nu yorol Elisha. Ke Hazael el sonol el fahk, “Tokosra Benhadad, mwet kulansap lom, el supweyume ngan tuh siyuk sum lah el ac ku in kwela liki mas lal ah ku tia.”
So Hazael went to talk with Elisha. He took with him forty camels that were carrying many kinds of goods that were produced in Damascus. When Hazael met him, he said to him, “Your friend Ben-Hadad, the king of Syria, sent me to ask you whether [you think] he will recover from his illness.”
10 Elisha el topuk, “LEUM GOD El akkalemye nu sik mu el ac misa. Tusruktu folokot nu yorol ac fahk nu sel mu el ac kwela.”
Elisha said to Hazael, “Go and say to him, ‘Yes, you will certainly not die from this illness,’ but Yahweh has shown me that he will certainly die [before he recovers].”
11 Na Elisha el ngetang na suilya ke sie ngetnget na fosrnga, nwe ke na Hazael el sensenak. Kitin pacl ah na soror sroninmutal Elisha.
Then Elisha stared at him and had a terrified look on his face. That caused Hazael to feel uneasy/embarrassed. Then [suddenly] Elisha started to cry.
12 Hazael el siyuk, “Leum luk, efu ku kom tung?” Elisha el topuk, “Mweyen nga etu ke ma na koluk kom ac oru nu sin mwet Israel uh. Kom ac esukak pot ku lalos, onela mukul fusr wowo natulos ke cutlass, sringil tulik natulos nwe ke elos misa, ac tiyala insien mutan pitutu lalos.”
Hazael said, “Sir, why are you crying?” Elisha replied, “Because [Yahweh has enabled] me [to] know the terrible things that you will do to the people of Israel: You will burn their cities with walls around them, you will kill their fine young men with a sword, you will bash the heads of their children, and you will rip open the bellies of their pregnant women [with a sword].”
13 Hazael el siyuk, “Ku fuka tuh ngan ku in oru ma na yohk angan? Nga tia mwet pwaye se!” Elisha el topuk, “LEUM GOD El akkalemye nu sik lah kom pa ac tokosra lun Syria.”
Hazael replied, “I am [as insignificant as] [MET] a dog; (how could I do such things?/I would never do such terrible things!)” [RHQ] Elisha replied, “Yahweh has also revealed to me that you will become the king of Syria.”
14 Hazael el folokla nu yorol Benhadad, su siyuk sel, “Mea Elisha el fahk?” Hazael el topuk, “El fahk nu sik mu pwayena lah kom ac kwela.”
Then Hazael left and returned to his master/boss [the king], who asked him, “What did Elisha say?” He replied, “He told me that you would certainly recover.”
15 Tusruktu ke len se tok ah, Hazael el eis blanket se, isongya in kof ah, na sang nokomla mutal tokosra, nwe el malak misa. Na Hazael el aolulla Benhadad in tokosra lun acn Syria.
But the next day, [while the king was sleeping, ] Hazael took a blanket and soaked it in water. Then he spread it on the king’s face [in order that he could not breathe], and he died. Then Hazael became the king of Syria instead of Ben-Hadad.
16 In yac aklimekosr ke Joram, wen natul Ahab, el tokosra lun Israel, Jehoram wen natul Jehoshaphat el tokosrala lun Judah.
After King Joram, the son of Ahab, had been ruling in Israel for almost five years, Jehoshaphat’s son Jehoram became the king of Judah.
17 Jehoram el yac tolngoul luo in pacl sac, ac el leum in acn Jerusalem ke yac oalkosr.
He was thirty-two years old when he became the king, and he ruled in Jerusalem for eight years.
18 Mutan kial ah ma natul Ahab, ac Jehoram el oru oana sou lal Ahab — el fahsr tukun ouiya koluk lun tokosra lun Israel. El oru ma koluk lain LEUM GOD,
His wife was the daughter of King Ahab. And like everyone in Ahab’s family, he continually did the evil things that the previous kings of Israel had done. He did things that Yahweh considered to be evil.
19 tusruktu LEUM GOD El tia lungse kunausla acn Judah, mweyen El tuh wulela nu sel David, mwet kulansap lal, mu fwilin tulik natul ac fah leumi mwet lal nwe tok.
But Yahweh did not want to get rid of the people of Judah, because of what he had promised David, who served him [very well]. He had promised David that his descendants [MET] would always rule Judah.
20 In pacl in leum lal Jehoram, acn Edom tuyak lain acn Judah, ac mutawauk in sifacnala.
During the time that Jehoram ruled, [the king of] Edom rebelled against Judah, and they appointed their own king.
21 Ouinge Jehoram el us chariot lal nukewa ac som nu Zair, yen mwet mweun lun Edom elos raunelosla we. In fong sac, el ac mwet leum lun chariot uh mahsrikla twe kaingla, ac mwet mweun lal ah fahsrelik nu yen selos.
So Jehoram went with his army and all their chariots to Zair [city near the border of Edom]. There the army of Edom surrounded them. But during the night, Jehoram and the commanders in their chariots were able to get through the enemy lines and escaped. And all his soldiers also fled to their homes.
22 In pacl sac me, acn Edom tila oan ye ku lun Judah. Ac in pacl sac pacna, siti Libnah tuyak pac ac orek alein nu sin Judah.
So after that, Edom was no longer controlled by Judah, and it is still like that. During that same time, the people of Libnah [city] also freed themselves from being controlled by Judah.
23 Ma nukewa saya ma Jehoram el orala simla oasr in [Sramsram Matu Ke Tokosra Lun Judah.]
[If you want to read about] the other things that Jehoram did, they are written in the scroll called ‘The History of the Kings of Judah’.
24 Jehoram el misa ac pukpuki inkulyuk lun tokosra in Siti sel David, ac Ahaziah, wen natul, el aolul in tokosra.
Jehoram died [EUP] and was buried where the other kings of Judah had been buried in [the part of Jerusalem called] ‘The City of David’. Then Jehoram’s son Ahaziah became the king.
25 In yac aksingoul luo ke pacl Joram wen natul Ahab el tokosra lun Israel, Ahaziah wen natul Jehoram el tokosrala lun Judah
After Ahab’s son Joram has been ruling in Israel for almost twelve years, Jehoram’s son Ahaziah became the king of Judah.
26 ke el yac longoul luo, ac el leum in Jerusalem ke yac se. Nina kial pa Athaliah, acn se natul Tokosra Ahab, su ma natul Tokosra Omri lun Israel.
Ahaziah was twenty-two years old when he started to rule. He ruled in Jerusalem for [only] one year. His mother’s name was Athaliah, [the daughter of King Ahab and] the granddaughter of King Omri of Israel.
27 Ahaziah el ac sou nu sel Tokosra Ahab ke sripen nina kial, ac el oru ma koluk lain LEUM GOD oana ke sou lal Tokosra Ahab tuh oru.
King Ahab conducted his life just like the members of Ahab’s family had done. He did things that Yahweh considered to be very evil.
28 Tokosra Ahaziah el welul Tokosra Joram lun Israel in mweun lainul Tokosra Hazael lun Syria. Mwet mweun lalos sroani mweun in acn Ramoth in Gilead, ac Joram el kineta ke mweun ah.
Ahaziah’s army joined the army of King Joram of Israel to fight against the army of King Hazael of Syria. Their armies started fighting at Ramoth [city] in [the] Gilead [region], and the soldiers of Syria wounded Joram.
29 El folokla nu in siti Jezreel in tuh mahla kinet kacl ah, ac Ahaziah el som nu we in osun nu sel.
King Joram returned to Jezreel [city] to recover from his wounds. King Ahaziah went to visit him there.
