Ii Regum 4
1 mulier autem quaedam de uxoribus prophetarum clamabat ad Heliseum dicens servus tuus vir meus mortuus est et tu nosti quia servus tuus fuit timens Dominum et ecce creditor venit ut tollat duos filios meos ad serviendum sibi
And a woman of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried to Elisha saying, Thy servant my husband is dead, and thou knowest that thy servant feared Jehovah; and the creditor is come to take my two children to be bondmen.
2 cui dixit Heliseus quid vis ut faciam tibi dic mihi quid habes in domo tua at illa respondit non habeo ancilla tua quicquam in domo mea nisi parum olei quo unguear
And Elisha said to her, What shall I do for thee? Tell me, what hast thou in the house? And she said, Thy handmaid has not anything at all in the house but a pot of oil.
3 cui ait vade pete mutuo ab omnibus vicinis tuis vasa vacua non pauca
And he said, Go, borrow for thyself vessels abroad from all thy neighbours, empty vessels; let it not be few;
4 et ingredere et claude ostium cum intrinsecus fueris tu et filii tui et mitte inde in omnia vasa haec et cum plena fuerint tolles
and go in, and shut the door upon thee and upon thy sons, and pour out into all those vessels, and set aside what is full.
5 ivit itaque mulier et clusit ostium super se et super filios suos illi offerebant vasa et illa infundebat
And she went from him, and shut the door upon her and upon her sons: they brought [the vessels] to her, and she poured out.
6 cumque plena fuissent vasa dixit ad filium suum adfer mihi adhuc vas et ille respondit non habeo stetitque oleum
And it came to pass when the vessels were full, that she said to her son, Bring me yet a vessel. And he said to her, There is not a vessel more. And the oil stayed.
7 venit autem illa et indicavit homini Dei et ille vade inquit vende oleum et redde creditori tuo tu autem et filii tui vivite de reliquo
And she came and told the man of God; and he said, Go, sell the oil, and pay thy debt, and live thou [and] thy sons on the rest.
8 facta est autem quaedam dies et transiebat Heliseus per Sunam erat autem ibi mulier magna quae tenuit eum ut comederet panem cumque frequenter inde transiret devertebat ad eam ut comederet panem
And it came to pass on a day, that Elisha passed to Shunem, where was a wealthy woman; and she constrained him to eat bread. And so it was, [that] as oft as he passed by, he turned in thither to eat bread.
9 quae dixit ad virum suum animadverto quod vir Dei sanctus est iste qui transit per nos frequenter
And she said to her husband, Behold now, I perceive that this is a holy man of God, who passes by us continually.
10 faciamus ergo cenaculum parvum et ponamus ei in eo lectulum et mensam et sellam et candelabrum ut cum venerit ad nos maneat ibi
Let us make, I pray thee, a small upper chamber with walls, and let us set for him there a bed, and a table, and a seat, and a lampstand; and it shall be when he cometh to us, he shall turn in thither.
11 facta est igitur dies quaedam et veniens devertit in cenaculum et requievit ibi
And it came to pass on a day, that he came thither, and he turned into the upper chamber, and lay there.
12 dixitque ad Giezi puerum suum voca Sunamitin istam qui cum vocasset eam et illa stetisset coram eo
And he said to Gehazi his servant, Call this Shunammite. And he called her, and she stood before him.
13 dixit ad puerum loquere ad eam ecce sedule in omnibus ministrasti nobis quid vis ut faciam tibi numquid habes negotium et vis ut loquar regi sive principi militiae quae respondit in medio populi mei habito
And he said to him, Say now to her, Behold, thou hast been careful for us with all this care; what is to be done for thee? wouldest thou be spoken for to the king, or to the captain of the host? And she said, I dwell among mine own people.
14 et ait quid ergo vult ut faciam ei dixitque Giezi ne quaeras filium enim non habet et vir eius senex est
And he said, What then is to be done for her? And Gehazi said, Verily, she has no son, and her husband is old.
15 praecepit itaque ut vocaret eam quae cum vocata fuisset et stetisset ad ostium
And he said, Call her; and he called her; and she stood in the doorway.
16 dixit ad eam in tempore isto et in hac eadem hora si vita comes fuerit habebis in utero filium at illa respondit noli quaeso domine mi vir Dei noli mentiri ancillae tuae
And he said, At this appointed time, when thy term is come, thou shalt embrace a son. And she said, No, my lord, man of God, do not lie to thy handmaid.
17 et concepit mulier et peperit filium in tempore et in hora eadem quam dixerat Heliseus
And the woman conceived, and bore a son at that appointed time in the next year as Elisha had said to her.
18 crevit autem puer et cum esset quaedam dies et egressus isset ad patrem suum ad messores
And the child grew, and it came to pass one day, that he went out to his father to the reapers.
19 ait patri suo caput meum caput meum at ille dixit puero tolle et duc eum ad matrem suam
And he said to his father, My head, my head! And he said to the servant, Carry him to his mother.
20 qui cum tulisset et adduxisset eum ad matrem suam posuit eum illa super genua sua usque ad meridiem et mortuus est
And he carried him, and brought him to his mother; and he sat on her knees till noon, and died.
21 ascendit autem et conlocavit eum super lectulum hominis Dei et clusit ostium et egressa
And she went up, and laid him on the bed of the man of God, and shut [the door] upon him, and went out.
22 vocavit virum suum et ait mitte mecum obsecro unum de pueris et asinam ut excurram usque ad hominem Dei et revertar
And she called to her husband, and said, Send me, I pray thee, one of the young men, and one of the asses, and I will run to the man of God, and come again.
23 qui ait illi quam ob causam vadis ad eum hodie non sunt kalendae neque sabbatum quae respondit vale
And he said, Why wilt thou go to him to-day? It is neither new moon nor sabbath. And she said, [It is] well.
24 stravitque asinam et praecepit puero mina et propera ne mihi moram facias in eundo et hoc age quod praecipio tibi
Then she saddled the ass, and said to her servant, Drive and go forward; slack not the riding for me, except I bid thee.
25 profecta est igitur et venit ad virum Dei in montem Carmeli cumque vidisset eam vir Dei de contra ait ad Giezi puerum suum ecce Sunamitis illa
And she went and came to the man of God, to mount Carmel. And it came to pass when the man of God saw her afar off, that he said to Gehazi his servant, Behold, there is the Shunammite:
26 vade ergo in occursum eius et dic ei rectene agitur circa te et circa virum tuum et circa filium tuum quae respondit recte
run now, I pray thee, to meet her, and say unto her, Is it well with thee? is it well with thy husband? is it well with the child? And she said, It is well.
27 cumque venisset ad virum Dei in monte adprehendit pedes eius et accessit Giezi ut amoveret eam et ait homo Dei dimitte illam anima enim eius in amaritudine est et Dominus celavit me et non indicavit mihi
And she came to the man of God to the mountain, and caught him by the feet; and Gehazi drew near to thrust her away; but the man of God said, Let her alone, for her soul is troubled within her, and Jehovah has hidden it from me, and has not told me.
28 quae dixit illi numquid petivi filium a domino meo numquid non dixi tibi ne inludas me
And she said, Did I desire a son of my lord? did I not say, Do not deceive me?
29 et ille ait ad Giezi accinge lumbos tuos et tolle baculum meum in manu tua et vade si occurrerit tibi homo non salutes eum et si salutaverit te quispiam non respondeas illi et pones baculum meum super faciem pueri
And he said to Gehazi, Gird up thy loins, and take my staff in thy hand, and go thy way. If thou meet any man, salute him not, and if any salute thee, answer him not again; and lay my staff upon the face of the lad.
30 porro mater pueri ait vivit Dominus et vivit anima tua non dimittam te surrexit ergo et secutus est eam
And the mother of the lad said, As Jehovah liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee! And he rose up and followed her.
31 Giezi autem praecesserat eos et posuerat baculum super faciem pueri et non erat vox neque sensus reversusque est in occursum eius et nuntiavit ei dicens non surrexit puer
And Gehazi passed on before them, and laid the staff upon the face of the lad; but there was neither voice, nor sign of attention. And he returned to meet him, and told him saying, The lad is not awaked.
32 ingressus est ergo Heliseus domum et ecce puer mortuus iacebat in lectulo eius
And when Elisha came into the house, behold, the child was dead, [and] laid upon his bed.
33 ingressusque clusit ostium super se et puerum et oravit ad Dominum
And he went in and shut the door upon them both, and prayed to Jehovah.
34 et ascendit et incubuit super puerum posuitque os suum super os eius et oculos suos super oculos eius et manus suas super manus eius et incurvavit se super eum et calefacta est caro pueri
And he went up, and lay upon the child, and put his mouth upon his mouth, and his eyes upon his eyes, and his hands upon his hands, and bent over him; and the flesh of the child grew warm.
35 at ille reversus deambulavit in domo semel huc et illuc et ascendit et incubuit super eum et oscitavit puer septies aperuitque oculos
And he returned, and walked in the house to and fro; and went up, and bent over him. And the lad sneezed seven times, and the lad opened his eyes.
36 et ille vocavit Giezi et dixit ei voca Sunamitin hanc quae vocata ingressa est ad eum qui ait tolle filium tuum
And he called Gehazi, and said, Call this Shunammite. And he called her; and she came to him. And he said, Take up thy son.
37 venit illa et corruit ad pedes eius et adoravit super terram tulitque filium suum et egressa est
And she came and fell at his feet, and bowed herself to the ground; and she took up her son, and went out.
38 et Heliseus reversus est in Galgala erat autem fames in terra et filii prophetarum habitabant coram eo dixitque uni de pueris suis pone ollam grandem et coque pulmentum filiis prophetarum
And Elisha came again to Gilgal. And there was a famine in the land; and the sons of the prophets were sitting before him. And he said to his servant, Set on the great pot, and boil pottage for the sons of the prophets.
39 et egressus est unus in agrum ut colligeret herbas agrestes invenitque quasi vitem silvestrem et collegit ex ea colocyntidas agri et implevit pallium suum et reversus concidit in ollam pulmenti nesciebat enim quid esset
Then one went out into the field to gather herbs, and found a wild vine, and gathered from it his lap full of wild colocynths, and came and shred them into the pot of pottage; for they did not know them.
40 infuderunt ergo sociis ut comederent cumque gustassent de coctione exclamaverunt dicentes mors in olla vir Dei et non potuerunt comedere
And they poured out for the men to eat. And it came to pass, as they were eating of the pottage, that they cried out and said, Man of God, there is death in the pot! And they could not eat [it].
41 at ille adferte inquit farinam et misit in ollam et ait infunde turbae et comedat et non fuit amplius quicquam amaritudinis in olla
And he said, Then bring meal. And he cast [it] into the pot, and said, Pour out for the people, that they may eat. And there was no harm in the pot.
42 vir autem quidam venit de Balsalisa deferens viro Dei panes primitiarum et viginti panes hordiacios et frumentum novum in pera sua at ille dixit da populo ut comedat
And there came a man from Baal-shalishah, and brought the man of God bread of the first-fruits, twenty loaves of barley, and fresh ears of corn in his sack. And he said, Give to the people that they may eat.
43 responditque ei minister eius quantum est hoc ut adponam coram centum viris rursum ille da ait populo ut comedat haec enim dicit Dominus comedent et supererit
And his attendant said, How shall I set this before a hundred men? And he said, Give the people that they may eat; for thus saith Jehovah: They shall eat, and shall have to spare.
44 posuit itaque coram eis qui comederunt et superfuit iuxta verbum Domini
And he set [it] before them, and they ate and left [thereof], according to the word of Jehovah.
