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 sons of the prophets, made outcry unto Elisha, saying—Thy servant, my husband, is dead, and, thou, knowest that, thy servant, was one who revered Yahweh, —now, the creditor, hath come to take my two boys to himself as bondmen.

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 thou, hast, in the house. And she said—Thy maid-servant hath, nothing at all, in the house, save a flask 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, ask thee vessels, from without, of all thy neighbours, —empty vessels, let them not be 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, when thou hast come in, then shalt thou shut the door behind thee and behind thy sons, and shalt pour out into all these vessels, —and, that which is full, shalt thou 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 out from his presence, and shut the door behind her, and behind her sons, —they bringing near to her, and she pouring 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 me a vessel more. 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 in, and told the man of God, and he said—Go, sell the oil, and pay thy creditor, —and, thou and thy sons, shall 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 so it was, on a day, that Elisha passed over unto Shunem, where was a woman of position, and she constrained him to eat bread, —and so it came about, whensoever he passed that way, that he turned aside thither, to eat bread.

9 Ary hoy ravehivavy tamin’ ny lahy; Indro, fantatro fa masìna sady lehilahin’ Andriamanitra ilay mpandalo eto amintsika mandrakariva.

Then said she unto her husband, Lo! I pray thee—I perceive that, a holy man of God, he is, —passing our way 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.

I pray thee, let us make a little upper chamber on the wall and set for him there—a bed, and a table, and a seat, and a lampstand, —so shall it be, when he cometh to us, that he can 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 came to pass, on a day, that he came thither, —so he turned aside into the upper chamber, and slept there.

12 Ary hoy izy tamin’ i Gehazy zatovony: Antsoy ilay Sonemita. Ary rehefa nantsoiny ravehivavy, dia nitsangana teo anatrehany izy.

Then said he unto Gehazi, his young man, Call this Shunammitess. 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 to him—I pray thee, say unto her—Lo! thou hast cared for us with all this anxious care, what can be done for thee? Is it, that we should speak for thee, unto the king, or unto the general of the army? But she said, In the midst of mine own people, do, I, dwell.

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?

So he said, What then can be done for thee? And Gehazi 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. So he called her, and she stood in the doorway.

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.

Then said he—At this season, about the time of spring, thou, shalt be embracing a son. And she said—Nay! my lord, thou man of God, do not delude thy maid-servant.

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 bare a son, at this season, about the time of spring, when 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, when the child was grown, it came to pass, on a certain day, that he went out unto his father, unto 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! So he said unto the young man, 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 carried him, and brought him in unto his mother, he sat on her knees until noon, and then 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 shut him in, and then 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 asses, —that I may run unto 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 unto him, to-day, neither new moon nor sabbath? And she said—Peace!

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 saddled she the ass, and said unto her young man—Lead on, and go forward, —do not slacken, for my sake, the riding, except I have bidden 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 her way, and came unto the man of God, unto Mount Carmel. And it came to pass, when the man of God saw her, opposite, that he said unto Gehazi young man, Lo! this Shunammitess!

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, run, I pray thee, to meet her, and say to her—Is it well with thee? is it well with thy husband? is it well with the child? And she said, 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.

But, when she came unto the man of God, on the mount, she caught hold of his feet, —and Gehazi drew near to thrust her away, when the man of God said—Let her alone! for, her life, is embittered to her, howbeit, Yahweh, hath hidden 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?

Then said she, Did I ask a son, of my lord? Said I not, Thou must not mislead 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.

And he said to Gehazi—Gird thy loins, and take my staff in thy hand, and go thy way, if thou meet with any man, thou must not bless him, and, if any man bless thee, thou must not respond to him, —then shalt thou lay my staff upon the face of the boy.

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 boy said, By the life of Yahweh and by the life of thine own soul, I will not leave thee. So 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.

Now, Gehazi, had passed on before them, and laid the staff on the face of the boy, but there was neither voice, nor attention, —so he returned to meet him, and told him, saying—The boy hath not awaked.

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

And, when Elisha had come into the house, lo! the boy, was dead, laid upon his bed.

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

So he went in, and shut the door upon them two, —and prayed unto Yahweh.

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 gat he up, and lay upon the child, and put his own mouth upon his mouth, and his own eyes upon his eyes, and his own hands upon his hands, and bowed himself upon him, —and the flesh of the child, waxed warm.

35 Dia niasa-dia tao an-trano izy ary niverina niampatra taminy indray; dia nievina impito ny zazalahy, ary nihiratra ny masony.

Then retraced he, and walked in the house—once to and fro, and then went up and bowed himself upon him, —and the boy sneezed as many as seven times, and the boy 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.

Then called he Gehazi, and said—Call this Shunammitess. So he called her, and, when she was come in unto him, 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.

So she came in, and fell at his feet, and bowed herself to the ground, —and took up her son, and went forth.

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.

Now, Elisha, returned to Gilgal, and there was, a famine, in the land, and, the sons of the prophets, being seated before him, he said to his young man—Put on the large pot, and boil a mess of food, 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 vine in the field, and gathered thereof wild gourds, his lap full, and came in, and sliced them into the pot; 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.

So they poured out for the men to eat, —and it came so pass, as they were eating of the mess, that, they, made outcry and said—Death 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.

And he said—Then fetch meal. And he cast it into the pot, —and then said—Pour out for the people, that they may eat. And there was no harm 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 man, came in from Baal-Shalisha, and brought for the man of God firstfruit bread, twenty barley loaves, and garden grain in the husk thereof. 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.

But his attendant said—How can I set this before a hundred men? And he said—Give to the people, that they may eat, for, Thus, saith Yahweh, They are about to eat and to leave remaining.

44 Dia narosony teo anoloany, ka dia nihinana izy, ary mbola nisy sisa tsy lany aza araka ny tenin’ i Jehovah.

So he set before them, and they did eat and left remaining, according to the word of Yahweh.
