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

And a certain woman, of the wives of the sons of the prophets cried unto Elisha', saying, Thy servant my husband is dead; and thou well knowest that thy servant was one who feared the Lord: and now the creditor is come to take my two sons unto himself for servants.

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 Elisha' said unto her, What shall I do for thee? tell me, what hast thou in the house? And she said, Thy hand-maid hath nothing in the house, save a pot of oil.

3 Ary hoy izy: Andeha mindram-bilany amin’ ny namanao rehetra manodidina, dia vilany tsy misy zavatra, nefa aza atao vitsy.

And he said, Go, borrow for thyself vessels from abroad from all thy neighbors, empty vessels, let them not be 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 then go home, and lock the door behind thee and behind thy sons, and then pour out into all those vessels; and that which is full thou shalt set aside.

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 she went from him, and locked the door behind her and behind her sons, who brought the vessels near to her, and she poured out.

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 it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said unto her son, Bring near to me yet another vessel; and he said unto her, There is not a vessel more: and the oil stayed.

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.

Then came she and told it to the man of God; and he said, Go, sell the oil, and pay thy debt, and thou with thy children shalt 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 it happened one day, that Elisha' passed over to Shunem, and there was a great woman, and she constrained him to eat bread; and it happened, that as oft as he passed by, he used to turn in thither 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 unto her husband, Behold now, I perceive that this is a holy man of God, who passeth through by us continually.

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 then make a little upper chamber, on the wall; and let us set for him there a bed, and a table, and a chair, and a candlestick: and it shall be, when he cometh to us, that he shall turn in thither.

11 Ary tamin’ ny indray andro dia tonga tao Elisa ka nipetraka tao amin’ ilay efi-trano ambony ary nandry tao.

And it happened one day, that he came thither, and he turned into the upper chamber, and lay 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 Gechazi his servant, Call this Shunammite: and he 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.

And he said unto him, Say now unto her, Behold, thou hast been at pains to take all this trouble for us: what is to be done for thee? wouldst thou be spoken for to the king, or to the chief of the army? And she said, 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 then is to be done for her? And Gechazi said, Verily, 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.

And he said, Call her: and he called her, and she stood in 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.

And he said, At this season, next year, thou shalt embrace a son. And she said, No, my Lord, man of God, do not deceive thy hand-maid.

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 conceived, and bore a son at that season in the following year, as Elisha' had spoken unto her.

18 Ary nony efa lehibe ny zaza, dia nankany amin’ ny rainy tany amin’ ny mpijinja vary izy indray andro,

And the child grew up; and it happened one day, that 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.

And he said unto his father, My head, my head: and he said to a lad, 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 he took him up, and brought him to his mother, and he sat on her knees till noon, when 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 on the bed of the man of God, and locked the door behind him, and went 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.

And she called unto her husband, and said, Send me, I pray thee, one of the young men, and one of the she-asses, that I may hasten as far as the man of God, and return.

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, Wherefore art thou going to him today? it is neither new moon, nor sabbath. And she said, It is well.

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.

Then she saddled the she-ass, and said to her servant, Drive, and go forward; do not restrain me in riding, unless I say it to 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 and came unto 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 Gechazi his servant, Behold, yonder that Shunammite.

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.

Now do run to meet her, and say unto her, Is it well with thee? is it well with thy husband? is it well with thy child? and she answered, It is 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 she came to the man of God to the mount, and caught hold of his feet; and Gechazi came near to thrust her away; but the man of God said, Let her alone; for her soul is grieved within her; and the Lord hath hidden it from me, and hath not told it me.

28 Dia hoy ravehivavy: Moa naniry zaza taminao va aho, tompoko? Tsy hoy va aho: Aza mamitaka ahy?

And she said, Did I request a son from my Lord? did I not say, Do not lead me astray?

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 said he to Gechazi, Gird up thy loins, and take my staff in thy hand, and go thy way: if thou meet any man, thou shalt not salute him; and if any salute thee, thou shalt not answer him; and lay my staff upon the face of the lad.

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.

And the mother of the lad said, As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. And he arose 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.

And Gechazi passed on before them, and laid the staff upon the face of the lad; but there was neither voice, nor perceptible sound; wherefore he went back to meet him, and told him, saying, The lad is not awakened.

32 Ary rehefa tonga tao an-trano Elisa, indro, maty ny zazalahy sady nampandrina teo am-pandriany.

And when Elisha' was come into the house, behold, the lad was dead, laid upon his bed.

33 Ary niditra izy, ka nirindrim-baravarana tao izy roa lahy, ary Elisa nivavaka tamin’ i Jehovah.

And he went in and locked the door behind both of them, and prayed unto 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 laid himself upon the child, and put his mouth upon his mouth, and his eyes upon his eyes, and his hands upon his hands; and he stretched himself upon him: and the flesh of the child became 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 to and fro; and went up, and stretched himself [again] upon him; and the lad sneezed as many as seven times, and the lad 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 Gechazi, and said, Call this Shunammite: so he called her, and she came in unto 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.

Then went she in, and fell at his feet, and bowed herself to 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 Elisha' returned to Gilgal; and there was a famine in the land; and the sons of the prophets were sitting before him: and he said unto his servant, Set on the large pot, and seethe 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 herbs, and found a wild vine, and gathered thereof wild colocynths his garment full, and came and cut them up into the pot of pottage; for they knew them not.

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 the men to eat; and it came to pass, as they were eating of the pottage, that they cried out, and said, Death is in the pot, O man of God. And they could not eat.

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, Then bring some meal. And he cast it into the pot; and he said, Pour it out for the people, that they may eat. And there was nothing bad 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 there came a man from Ba'alshalishah, and brought unto the man of God bread of the first-fruits, twenty loaves of barley bread, and fresh ears of corn in his scrip: and he said, Give it unto 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 servitor said, What, shall I set this before a hundred men? And he said, Give it unto the people, that they may eat; for thus hath said the Lord, They shall eat, and shall leave [thereof].

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 left thereof, according to the word of the Lord.
