< 2 Mpanjaka 4 >

1 Ary nisy vehivavy anankiray, vadin’ ny zanaky ny mpaminany, nitaraina tamin’ i Elisa hoe: Maty ny vadiko mpanomponao; ary ianao mahalala fa natahotra an’ i Jehovah ny mpanomponao; nefa tonga ny tompo-trosa haka ny zanako mirahalahy ho andevony
Now a certain woman of the wives of the prophets cried to Eliseus, saying: Thy servant my husband is dead, and thou knowest that thy servant was one that feared God, and behold the creditor is come to take away my two sons to serve him.
2 Dia hoy Elisa taminy: Inona ary no hataoko ho anao? Lazao amiko: inona avy no anananao ao an-trano? Fa hoy ravehivavy: Ny ankizivavinao tsy manana na inona na inona ao an-trano afa-tsy diloilo iray tavoara monja.
And Eliseus said to her: What wilt thou have me to do for thee? Tell me, what hast thou in thy house? And she answered: I thy handmaid have nothing in my house but a little oil, to anoint me.
3 Ary hoy izy: Andeha mindram-bilany amin’ ny namanao rehetra manodidina, dia vilany tsy misy zavatra, nefa aza atao vitsy.
And he said to her: Go, borrow of all thy neighbours empty vessels not a few.
4 Ary rehefa tafiditra ianao, dia aoka hirindrim-baravarana ianao sy izy mirahalahy zanakao, ary manidina amin’ izany vilany rehetra izany, dia atokàny izay feno.
And go in, and shut thy door, when thou art within, and thy sons: and pour out thereof into all those vessels: and when they are full take them away.
5 Dia niala teo aminy ravehivavy ka nirindrim-baravarana mbamin’ izy mirahalahy zanany, ary izy mirahalahy nitondra ny vilany ho any aminy, fa reniny kosa nanidina ny diloilo.
So the woman went, and shut the door upon her, and upon her sons: they brought her the vessels, and she poured in.
6 Ary nony feno ny vilany, dia hoy izy tamin’ ny zanany: Itondray vilany iray koa aho. Fa hoy kosa ireo taminy: Tsy misy vilany intsony. Ary dia nitsahatra ny diloilo.
And when the vessels were full, she said to her son: Bring me yet a vessel. And he answered: I have no more. And the oil stood.
7 Dia avy ravehivavy ka nilaza tamin’ ny lehilahin’ Andriamanitra. Ary hoy kosa izy: Mandehana, amidio ny diloilo, ka anefao izay trosan’ olona aminao, ary izay sisa dia hivelomanao sy ny zanakao.
And she came, and told the man of God. And he said: Go, sell the oil, and pay thy creditor: and thou and thy sons live of the rest.
8 Ary tamin’ ny indray andro Elisa dia nankany Sonema, ary nisy vehivavy mpanankarena teo izay nanery azy hihinan-kanina. Ary isaky ny mandalo izy, dia nivily nankao aminy hihinan-kanina.
And there was a day when Eliseus passed by Sunam: now there was a great woman there, who detained him to eat bread; and as he passed often that way, he turned into her house to eat bread.
9 Ary hoy ravehivavy tamin’ ny lahy; Indro, fantatro fa masìna sady lehilahin’ Andriamanitra ilay mpandalo eto amintsika mandrakariva.
And she said to her husband: I perceive that this is a holy man of God, who often passeth by us.
10 Masìna ianao, andeha isika hanao efi-trano kely ambony rihana; ary hasiantsika fandriana sy latabatra sy seza ary fanaovan-jiro ho azy ao; ary raha tonga eto amintsika izy, dia ao no hipetraka.
Let us therefore make him a little chamber, and put a little bed in it for him, and a table, and a stool, and a candlestick, that when he cometh to us, he may abide there.
11 Ary tamin’ ny indray andro dia tonga tao Elisa ka nipetraka tao amin’ ilay efi-trano ambony ary nandry tao.
Now there was a certain day when he came and turned in to the chamber, and rested there.
12 Ary hoy izy tamin’ i Gehazy zatovony: Antsoy ilay Sonemita. Ary rehefa nantsoiny ravehivavy, dia nitsangana teo anatrehany izy.
And he said to Giezi his servant Call this Sunamitess. And when he had called her, and she stood before him,
13 Ary hoy Elisa tamin’ i Gehazy: Mba lazao amin-dravehivavy hoe: Indro, efa niahy anay tamin’ izao fiahiana rehetra izao ianao, koa inona kosa no mba hatao ho anao? Tianao holazaina amin’ ny mpanjaka va ianao, na amin’ ny komandin’ ny miaramila? Dia namaly ravehivavy hoe: Mitoetra atỳ amin’ ny fireneko aho.
He said to his servant: Say to her Behold thou hast diligently served us in all things, what wilt thou have me to do for thee? hast thou any business, and wilt thou that I speak to the king, or to the general of the army? And she answered: I dwell in the midst of my own people.
14 Ary hoy Elisa: Fa inona ary no hatao ho anao? Dia namaly Gehazy hoe: Tsy hitanao va fa tsy manan-janaka izy, sady efa antitra ny lahy?
And he said: What will she then that I do for her? And Giezi said: Do not ask, for she hath no son, and her husband is old.
15 Ary hoy Elisa: Antsoy ary izy. Ary nony nantsoiny izy, dia nitsangana teo am-baravarana.
Then he bid him call her: And when she was called, and stood before the door.
16 Dia hoy izy: Raha mby amin’ ny fotoana, raha avy ny taona toy izao, dia hitrotro zazalahy ianao. Ary hoy ravehivavy: Tsia, ry tompoko, lehilahin’ Andriamanitra, aza mandainga amin’ ny ankizivavinao.
He said to her: At this time, and this same hour, if life accompany, thou shalt have a son in thy womb. But she answered: Do not, I beseech thee, my lord, thou man of God, do not lie to thy handmaid.
17 Koa nefa nanan’ anaka tokoa ravehivavy, ka nony niherina ny taona, dia tera-dahy izy tamin’ ilay fotoana nolazain’ i Elisa taminy.
And the woman conceived, and brought forth a son in the time, and at the same hour, that Eliseus had said.
18 Ary nony efa lehibe ny zaza, dia nankany amin’ ny rainy tany amin’ ny mpijinja vary izy indray andro,
And the child grew. And on a certain day, when he went out to his father to the reapers,
19 Ary hoy izy tamin-drainy: Edrey! ny an-dohako! ny an-dohako! Ary hoy rainy tamin’ ny zatovo anankiray: Ento ho any amin-dreniny izy.
He said to his father: My head acheth, my head acheth. But he said to his servant: Take him, and carry him to his mother.
20 Dia notrotroin’ ilay zatovo izy ka nentiny ho any amin-dreniny, ary nampofoiny izy mandra-pitataovovonan’ ny andro, dia maty.
And when he had taken him, and brought him to his mother, she set him on her knees until noon, and then he died.
21 Ary ravehivavy niakatra ka nampandry azy teo amin’ ny fandrian’ ilay lehilahin’ Andriamanitra, dia narindriny ny trano, ka nivoaka izy.
And she went up and laid him upon the bed of the man of God, and shut the door: and going out,
22 Ary niantso ny vadiny izy ka nanao hoe: Masìna ianao, asaovy misy zatovo anankiray mankaty amiko mitondra borikivavy anankiray, fa handeha faingana ho any amin’ ny lehilahin’ Andriamanitra aho, dia hiverina indray.
She called her husband, and said: Send with me, I beseech thee, one of thy servants, and an ass that I may run to the man of God, and come again.
23 Fa hoy ny lahy: Inona no hankanesanao any aminy anio, nefa tsy mba andro tsinam-bolana na Sabata tsinona izao? Ary hoy ravehivavy: Ka nahoana aza?
And he said to her: Why dost thou go to him? today is neither new moon nor sabbath. She answered: I will go.
24 Ary ravehivavy dia nanisy lasely ny borikivavy, ka hoy izy tamin’ ny zatovony: Ampandehano, izy ka mizora; aza miahotrahotra akory amin’ ny fampandehananao azy, raha tsy ampijanoniko ianao.
And she saddled an ass, and commanded her servant: Drive, and make haste, make no stay in going. And do that which I bid thee.
25 Dia lasa ravehivavy nankany amin’ ny lehilahin’ Andriamanitra tany an-tendrombohitra Karmela. Ary raha vao tazan’ ny lehilahin’ Andriamanitra avy erỳ izy, dia hoy izy tamin’ i Gehazy zatovony: Ilay Sonemita lahy iry;
So she went forward, and came to the man of God to mount Carmel: and when the mall of God saw her coming towards, he said to Giezi his servant: Behold that Sunamitess.
26 masìna ianao, mihazakazaha hitsena azy, ka ataovy aminy hoe: Tsara ihany va ianao: Tsara ihany va ny vadinao? Tsara ihany va ny zazalahy? Ary hoy ny famaliny: Tsara ihany.
Go therefore to meet her, and say to her: Is all well with thee, and with thy husband, and with thy son? and she answered: Well.
27 Ary rehefa tonga tany amin’ ny lehilahin’ Andriamanitra tany an-tendrombohitra izy, dia nandray ny tongony; fa Gehazy nanatona hampiala azy. Nefa hoy ny lehilahin’ Andriamanitra: Avelao ihany izy, fa ory ny fanahiny ao anatiny, ary Jehovah efa nanafina izany tamiko, fa tsy nanambara tamiko.
And when she came to the man of God to the mount, she caught hold on his feet: and Giezi came to remove her. And the man of God said: Let her alone for her soul is in anguish, and the Lord hath hid it from me, and hath not told me.
28 Dia hoy ravehivavy: Moa naniry zaza taminao va aho, tompoko? Tsy hoy va aho: Aza mamitaka ahy?
And she said to him: Did I ask a son of my lord? did I not say to thee: Do not deceive me?
29 Ary hoy izy tamin’ i Gehazy: Misikìna, ary ento eny an-tananao ny tehiko, ka mandehana, raha mifanena amin’ olona ianao, aza miarahaba azy; ary raha misy miarahaba anao, aza mamaly azy akory; ary apetraho eo amin’ ny tavan’ ny zazalahy ny tehiko.
Then he said to Giezi: Gird up thy loins, and take my staff in thy hand, and go. If any man meet thee, salute him not: and if any man salute thee, answer him not: and lay my staff upon the face of the child.
30 Ary hoy ny renin’ ny zazalahy: Raha velona koa Jehovah, ary raha velona koa ny ainao, dia tsy hiala aminao mihitsy aho. Ary ilay lehilahin’ Andriamanitra nitsangana ka nanaraka azy.
But the mother of the child said: As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. He arose, therefore, and followed her.
31 Ary Gehazy nialoha azy ka nametraka ny tehina teo amin’ ny tavan’ ny zazalahy; fa tsy nisy feo na faharenesana. Dia niverina nitsena azy indray izy ka nilaza taminy hoe: Tsy mahatsiaro akory ny zazalahy.
But Giezi was gone before them, and laid the staff upon the face of the child, and there was no voice nor sense: and he returned to meet him, and told him, saying: The child is not risen.
32 Ary rehefa tonga tao an-trano Elisa, indro, maty ny zazalahy sady nampandrina teo am-pandriany.
Eliseus therefore went into the house, and behold the child lay dead on his bed.
33 Ary niditra izy, ka nirindrim-baravarana tao izy roa lahy, ary Elisa nivavaka tamin’ i Jehovah.
And going in he shut the door upon him, and upon the child, and prayed to the Lord.
34 Ary niakatra izy ka nandry niampatra tambonin’ ny zazalahy, ka ny vavany nataony tamin’ ny vavany, ary ny masony tamin’ ny masony, ary ny tànany tamin’ ny tànany, ka dia nafana ny tenan’ ny zazalahy.
And he went up, and lay upon the child: and he put his mouth upon his mouth, and his eyes upon his eyes, and his hands upon his hands: and he bowed himself upon him, and the child’s flesh grew warm.
35 Dia niasa-dia tao an-trano izy ary niverina niampatra taminy indray; dia nievina impito ny zazalahy, ary nihiratra ny masony.
Then he returned and walked in the house, once to and fro: and he went up, and lay upon him: and the child gaped seven times, and opened his eyes.
36 Ary Elisa niantso an’ i Gehazy ka nanao hoe: Antsoy ilay Sonemita. Dia nantsoiny izy. Ary rehefa tafiditra tao aminy izy, dia hoy Elisa: Raiso ny zanakao.
And he called Giezi, and said to him: Call this Sunamitess. And she being called, went in to him: and he said: Take up thy son.
37 Dia niditra ravehivavy ka niantoraka tamin’ ny tongony sady niankohoka tamin’ ny tany, dia nandray ny zanany izy ka lasa nivoaka.
She came and fell at his feet, and worshipped upon the ground: and took up her son, and went out.
38 Ary Elisa niverina nankany Gilgala; ary nisy mosary tamin’ ny tany; ary ny zanakalahin’ ny mpaminany nipetraka teo anatrehany, ka hoy izy tamin’ ny zatovony: Ataovy eo an-tokoana ny vilany lehibe, ary mahandroa hanina ho an’ ny zanakalahin’ ny mpaminany.
And Eliseus returned to Galgal, and there was a famine in the land, and the sons of the prophets dwelt before him. And he said to one of his servants: Set on the great pot, and boil pottage for the sons of the prophets.
39 Ary ny anankiray nivoaka tany an-tsaha hitsongo anana ka nahita voantangomboalavo maniry ho azy, dia nanangona voany iray trotroana avy amin’ io; ary nony tonga izy, dia nosolatsolarany narotsany tao amin’ ny vilany nisy ny hanina, fa tsy nisy nahafantatra.
And one went out into the field to gather wild herbs: and he found something like a wild vine, and gathered of it wild gourds of the field, and filled his mantle, and coming back he shred them into the pot of pottage, for he knew not what it was.
40 Ka dia noloarany hohanin’ ny olona izany. Ary raha mbola nihinana izy, dia nitaraina hoe: Ry lehilahin’ Andriamanitra ô, misy mahafaty ao am-bilany. Ary tsy azony nohanina.
And they poured it out for their companions to eat: and when they had tasted of the pottage, they cried out, saying: Death is in the pot, O man of God. And they could not eat thereof.
41 Fa hoy Elisa: Itondray koba. Dia narotsany tao am-bilany ny koba, ka hoy izy: Andoary amin’ izao ny olona hohaniny. Ary dia tsy nisy zavatra nampaninona intsony tao am-bilany.
But he said: Bring some meal. And when they had brought it, he cast it into the pot, and said: Pour out for the people, that they may eat. And there was now no bitterness in the pot.
42 Ary nisy lehilahy avy tany Bala-salisa nitondra mofo avy amin’ ny voaloham-bokatra ho an’ ny lehilahin’ Andriamanitra, dia mofo vary hordea roa-polo sy salohim-bary maitso tao an-kitapo. Dia hoy Elisa: Omeo ny olona hohaniny ireny.
And a certain man came from Baalsalisa bringing to the man of God bread of the firstfruits, twenty leaves of barley, and new corn in his scrip. And he said: Give to the people, that they may eat.
43 Fa hoy kosa ny mpanompony: Hataoko ahoana no fametraka ity eo anoloan’ ny zato lahy? Ary hoy indray Elisa: Omeo ihany ny olona hohaniny; fa izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Hihinana izy, ary mbola hisy sisa tsy lany.
And his servant answered him: How much is this, that I should set it before a hundred men? He said again: Give to the people, that they may eat: for thus saith the Lord: They shall eat, and there shall be left.
44 Dia narosony teo anoloany, ka dia nihinana izy, ary mbola nisy sisa tsy lany aza araka ny tenin’ i Jehovah.
So he set it before them: and they ate, and there was left according to the word of the Lord.
