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
The wife of one of the sons of the prophets appealed to Elisha, “My husband, your servant, is dead, and you know that he honored the Lord. But now to pay his debts his creditor is coming to take my two sons as his slaves!”
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.
“What can I do to help you?” asked Elisha. “Tell me, what do you have in your house?” “I, your servant, don't have anything in my house except a jar of olive oil,” she replied.
3 Ary hoy izy: Andeha mindram-bilany amin’ ny namanao rehetra manodidina, dia vilany tsy misy zavatra, nefa aza atao vitsy.
“Go and borrow empty jars from your neighbors—as many as possible, not just a few,” Elisha told her.
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.
“Then go inside, shut the door behind you and your sons, and start pouring olive oil into all these jars, placing the full jars to one side.”
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.
She left Elisha, went home, and shut the door behind her and her sons. They brought the jars to her and she kept on pouring.
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.
When all the jars were full, she told her son, “Bring me another one.” But he replied, “There aren't any jars left.” Then the olive oil stopped flowing.
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.
She went and told the man of God what had happened, and he said, “Go and sell the olive oil and pay your debts, and you and your sons can live on what's left.”
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.
One day as Elisha was passing through Shunem, a wealthy woman who lived there convinced him to have a meal. After that, whenever he was passing by he would stop there to eat.
9 Ary hoy ravehivavy tamin’ ny lahy; Indro, fantatro fa masìna sady lehilahin’ Andriamanitra ilay mpandalo eto amintsika mandrakariva.
She told her husband, “I'm sure that this man who regularly visits us is a holy man of God.
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.
Please let's make a small room on the roof, We can put a bed, a table, a chair, and a lamp in it for him. Then he can stay there whenever he visits us.”
11 Ary tamin’ ny indray andro dia tonga tao Elisa ka nipetraka tao amin’ ilay efi-trano ambony ary nandry tao.
One day Elisha arrived and went up to his room and lay down.
12 Ary hoy izy tamin’ i Gehazy zatovony: Antsoy ilay Sonemita. Ary rehefa nantsoiny ravehivavy, dia nitsangana teo anatrehany izy.
He said to his servant Gehazi, “Ask the Shunammite woman to come here.” Gehazi called her and she came to see Elisha.
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.
Elisha said to Gehazi, “Please tell her, ‘You have gone to a lot of trouble on our behalf. Now what can we do for you? Do you want us to speak for you to the king or the army commander?’” “I live with my own people,” she replied.
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?
After she had left, Elisha asked, “What can we do for her?” “She doesn't have a son, and her husband is old,” Gehazi replied.
15 Ary hoy Elisa: Antsoy ary izy. Ary nony nantsoiny izy, dia nitsangana teo am-baravarana.
Elisha said, “Ask her to come back.” So Gehazi called her, and she came stood by 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.
Elisha told her, “Around this time next year, you will be holding a son in your arms.” “No, my lord!” she responded. “Man of God, don't tell your servant lies!”
17 Koa nefa nanan’ anaka tokoa ravehivavy, ka nony niherina ny taona, dia tera-dahy izy tamin’ ilay fotoana nolazain’ i Elisa taminy.
But the woman did indeed become pregnant, and the next year around that same time she gave birth to a son, just as Elisha had promised her.
18 Ary nony efa lehibe ny zaza, dia nankany amin’ ny rainy tany amin’ ny mpijinja vary izy indray andro,
The child grew up, but one day he when went out to see his father who was with 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 complained to his father, “My head hurts! My head hurts!” His father told one of his servants, “Carry him back to his mother.”
20 Dia notrotroin’ ilay zatovo izy ka nentiny ho any amin-dreniny, ary nampofoiny izy mandra-pitataovovonan’ ny andro, dia maty.
The servant picked him up and took him back to his mother. The boy sat on her lap 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.
She went upstairs and laid him on the bed of the man of God. Then she shut the door behind her and left.
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, “Please send me one of the servants and a donkey so I can run to the man of God and come back.”
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?
“Why do you need to go and see him today?” he asked. “It's not the New Moon or the Sabbath.” “Don't worry about it,” she replied.
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.
She put the saddle on the donkey and told her servant, “Let's go quickly! Don't slow down for me unless I tell you to!”
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 set off, and went to the man of God who was at Mount Carmel. When he saw her way in the distance, the man of God told his servant Gehazi, “Look! There's the Shunammite woman!
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.
Please run to meet her and ask her, ‘Is everything fine with you, your husband, and your boy?’” “Everything's fine,” she replied.
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.
But when she got to the man of God at the mountain, she grabbed hold of his feet. Gehazi came over to push her away, but the man of God said, “Leave her alone, for she's in terrible misery, but the Lord has hidden it from me and has not explained it to me.”
28 Dia hoy ravehivavy: Moa naniry zaza taminao va aho, tompoko? Tsy hoy va aho: Aza mamitaka ahy?
“Did I ask you for a son, my lord?” she asked. “Didn't I tell you, ‘Don't tell me lies’?”
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.
Elisha said to Gehazi, “Put your cloak in your belt, pick up my staff, and go! Don't even say hello to anyone you meet, and if anyone says hello you, don't reply. Place my staff on the boy's face.”
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 boy's mother said, “As the Lord lives and as you live, I'm not leaving without you!” So he got up and went with 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.
Gehazi ran on ahead and placed the staff on the boy's face, but there was no sound or sign of life. So Gehazi went back to meet Elisha and told him, “The boy hasn't woken up.”
32 Ary rehefa tonga tao an-trano Elisa, indro, maty ny zazalahy sady nampandrina teo am-pandriany.
When Elisha got to the house, there was the boy, lying dead on his bed.
33 Ary niditra izy, ka nirindrim-baravarana tao izy roa lahy, ary Elisa nivavaka tamin’ i Jehovah.
He went in, shut the door behind them both, 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.
Then he got on the bed and lay on top of the boy, and put his mouth on the boy's mouth, his eyes on the boy's eyes, his hands on the boy's hands. As he stretched out on him, the boy's body warmed up.
35 Dia niasa-dia tao an-trano izy ary niverina niampatra taminy indray; dia nievina impito ny zazalahy, ary nihiratra ny masony.
Elisha got up, walked back and forth once in the room, and then got back on the bed and stretched out on him again. The boy sneezed seven times and then 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.
Elisha called Gehazi and said, “Ask the Shunammite woman to come.” So he did. When she arrived, Elisha said to her, “Here's your son. You can pick him up.”
37 Dia niditra ravehivavy ka niantoraka tamin’ ny tongony sady niankohoka tamin’ ny tany, dia nandray ny zanany izy ka lasa nivoaka.
She came in, fell at his feet, and bowed to the ground. Then she picked up her son and left.
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.
When Elisha went back to Gilgal, there was a famine in that area. The sons of the prophets were sitting at his feet, and he said to his servant, “Use the large pot and boil some stew 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.
One of them went out into the countryside to pick herbs. He found a wild vine and picked as many wild gourds as his cloak could hold. Then he came back and chopped them up into the pot of stew. But nobody knew they were dangerous to eat.
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.
They served it to the men to eat, but when they tasted the stew they shouted, “There's death in the pot, man of God!” They couldn't eat it.
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.
Elisha said, “Get some flour.” He threw it into the pot, and said, “Serve it to the people to eat.” There was nothing bad to eat 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.
A man from Baal-shalishah came to the man of God with a sack of firstfruits—the first grain of the year, along with twenty loaves of barley bread. “Give it to the people to eat,” said Elisha.
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.
“How can I serve just twenty loaves to a hundred men?” his servant asked. “Give it to the people to eat,” said Elisha, “for this is what the Lord says: ‘They will eat and there will still be some left over.’”
44 Dia narosony teo anoloany, ka dia nihinana izy, ary mbola nisy sisa tsy lany aza araka ny tenin’ i Jehovah.
So he served the bread to them. They ate, and had some left over, just as the Lord had said.
