2 Mpanjaka 7
1 Fa hoy kosa Elisa: Mihainoa ny tenin’ i Jehovah ianareo: Izao no lazain’ i Jehovah: Rahampitso toy izao dia ho sekely iray ny vidin’ ny koba tsara toto eran’ ny famarana, ary ho sekely iray koa ny vidin’ ny vary hordea indroan’ ny famarana ao am-bavahadin’ i Samaria.
Elisha said, “Hear the LORD’s word. The LORD says, ‘Tomorrow about this time a seah of fine flour will be sold for a shekel, and two seahs of barley for a shekel, in the gate of Samaria.’”
2 Fa namaly ny lehilahin’ Andriamanitra ilay mpanafika malaza izay nitehenan’ ny mpanjaka tamin’ ny tànany ka nanao hoe: Indro, na dia hanao varavarankely amin’ ny lanitra aza Jehovah, dia hisy izany zavatra izany va? Ary hoy Elisa: Indro, ho hitan’ ny masonao indrindra izany, nefa tsy mba hihinananao.
Then the captain on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God, and said, “Behold, if the LORD made windows in heaven, could this thing be?” He said, “Behold, you will see it with your eyes, but will not eat of it.”
3 Ary nisy boka efa-dahy teo anoloan’ ny vavahady nifampiresaka hoe: Ahoana no ipetrahantsika foana eto mandra-pahafatintsika?
Now there were four leprous men at the entrance of the gate. They said to one another, “Why do we sit here until we die?
4 Raha hoy isika: Hankato an-tanàna isika, dia misy mosary ao an-tanàna, ka ho faty ao isika; ary raha hipetraka eto isika, dia ho faty ihany koa. Koa andeha isika hankany amin-ny tobin’ ny Syriana; ka raha mamelona antsika moa izy, dia ho velona isika; fa raha mamono antsika kosa izy, dia ho faty ihany isika.
If we say, ‘We will enter into the city,’ then the famine is in the city, and we will die there. If we sit still here, we also die. Now therefore come, and let’s surrender to the army of the Syrians. If they save us alive, we will live; and if they kill us, we will only die.”
5 Dia niainga izy rehefa takariva hankany amin’ ny tobin’ ny Syriana; ary nony tonga teny an-tsisin’ ny toby izy, indro, tsy nisy olona akory tao.
They rose up in the twilight to go to the camp of the Syrians. When they had come to the outermost part of the camp of the Syrians, behold, no man was there.
6 Fa Jehovah efa nampandre ny miaramilan’ ny Syriana ny fikodiadian-kalesy sy ny fandehan’ ny soavaly, dia ny firodondrodon’ ny miaramila be; ary niresaka hoe izy: Injao, fa ny mpanjakan’ ny Isiraely efa nanamby ny mpanjakan’ ny Hetita sy ny mpanjakan’ ny Egyptiana hiady amintsika.
For the Lord had made the army of the Syrians to hear the sound of chariots and the sound of horses, even the noise of a great army; and they said to one another, “Behold, the king of Israel has hired against us the kings of the Hittites and the kings of the Egyptians to attack us.”
7 Dia niainga izy ka riatra nandositra tamin’ iny takariva iny ihany, ary nilaozany fotsiny ny tobiny, dia ny lainy sy ny soavaliny ary ny borikiny, ka lasa nandositra hamonjy ny ainy izy.
Therefore they arose and fled in the twilight, and left their tents, their horses, and their donkeys, even the camp as it was, and fled for their life.
8 Ary rehefa tonga teny an-tsisin’ ny toby ireo boka ireo, dia niditra tao amin’ ny lay anankiray Izy ka nihinana sy nisotro, dia naka volafotsy sy volamena ary fitafiana, dia nandeha ka nanafina izany; ary nandeha indray izy ka niditra tao amin’ ny lay anankiray koa sady naka avy tao, dia nandeha ka nanafina izany koa.
When these lepers came to the outermost part of the camp, they went into one tent, and ate and drank, then carried away silver, gold, and clothing and went and hid it. Then they came back, and entered into another tent and carried things from there also, and went and hid them.
9 Dia nifampilaza hoe izy: Tsy mety izao ataontsika izao; ity andro ity dia andro filazana ny mahafaly, nefa mangìna isika; raha hitoetra eto mandra-pahamarain’ ny andro isika, dia hanan-keloka; fa andeha isika hilaza ao an-tranon’ ny mpanjaka.
Then they said to one another, “We aren’t doing right. Today is a day of good news, and we keep silent. If we wait until the morning light, punishment will overtake us. Now therefore come, let’s go and tell the king’s household.”
10 Dia avy izy ka niantso ny mpiambina ny vavahadin-tanàna ary nilaza taminy hoe: Tonga tany an-tobin’ ny Syriana izahay, ary indro fa tsy misy olona ao, na feon’ olona akory aza, fa soavaly mifatotra sy boriky mifatotra, ary ny lay nilaozana fotsiny.
So they came and called to the city gatekeepers; and they told them, “We came to the camp of the Syrians, and, behold, there was no man there, not even a man’s voice, but the horses tied, and the donkeys tied, and the tents as they were.”
11 Ary niantso ny mpiambina ny vavahady izy, ary ireo kosa nilaza izany tao an-tranon’ ny mpanjaka.
Then the gatekeepers called out and told it to the king’s household within.
12 Ary ny mpanjaka nifoha raha mbola alina ka niteny tamin’ ny mpanompony hoe: Aoka hambarako aminareo ange izao ataon’ ny Syriana amintsika izao e! Fantany fa mosarena isika, ka dia niala tamin’ ny toby izy mba hanotrika any an-tsaha ka nanao hoe: Raha mivoaka avy any an-tanàna izy dia hataontsika sambo-belona, ary dia hidirantsika ny tanàna.
The king arose in the night, and said to his servants, “I will now show you what the Syrians have done to us. They know that we are hungry. Therefore they have gone out of the camp to hide themselves in the field, saying, ‘When they come out of the city, we shall take them alive, and get into the city.’”
13 Ary ny mpanompony anankiray namaly hoe: Mifona aminao aho, aoka hangalana soavaly dimy amin’ izay sisa ato an-tanàna (indro toy ny hamaroan’ ny Isiraely rehetra izay mitoetra ato ireo; eny, tahaka ny hamaroan’ ny Isiraely rehetra izay efa lany ritra ireo) ka haniraka hizaha izany.
One of his servants answered, “Please let some people take five of the horses that remain, which are left in the city. Behold, they are like all the multitude of Israel who are left in it. Behold, they are like all the multitude of Israel who are consumed. Let’s send and see.”
14 Dia nalainy ny soavalin’ ny kalesy roa; ary ny mpanjaka naniraka hanaraka ny miaramilan’ ny Syriana ka nanao hoe: Mandehana, ka izahao.
Therefore they took two chariots with horses; and the king sent them out to the Syrian army, saying, “Go and see.”
15 Dia nandeha nanaraka azy hatrany Jordana ireo; ary, indreny, ny lalambe rehetra feno fitafiana sy fanaka izay efa narian’ ny Syriana, raha nandositra tamin’ ny fahatairana izy. Ary ny iraka niverina ka nilaza tamin’ ny mpanjaka.
They went after them to the Jordan; and behold, all the path was full of garments and equipment which the Syrians had cast away in their haste. The messengers returned and told the king.
16 Dia nivoaka ny olona ka namabo ny tobin’ ny Syriana. Koa ny koba tsara toto eran’ ny famarana, dia sekely iray monja no vidiny, ary ny vary hordea indroan’ ny famarana, dia sekely iray ihany koa ny vidiny, araka ny tenin’ i Jehovah.
The people went out and plundered the camp of the Syrians. So a seah of fine flour was sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, according to the LORD’s word.
17 Ary ilay mpanafika malaza izay nitehenan’ ny mpanjaka tamin’ ny tànany dia notendreny hiambina ny vavahady; ary voahitsaka teo am-bavahady izy, ka dia maty araka izay nolazain’ ny lehilahin’ Andriamanitra, dia ilay nolazainy, raha nidina tany aminy ny mpanjaka.
The king had appointed the captain on whose hand he leaned to be in charge of the gate; and the people trampled over him in the gate, and he died as the man of God had said, who spoke when the king came down to him.
18 Koa dia tanteraka ilay teny nolazain’ ny lehilahin’ Andriamanitra tamin’ ny mpanjaka hoe: Raha, maraina toy izao ao am-bavahadin’ i Samaria dia sekely iray monja no ho vidin’ ny vary hordea indroan’ ny famarana, ary ho sekely iray ihany koa ny vidin’ ny koba tsara toto eran’ ny famarana;
It happened as the man of God had spoken to the king, saying, “Two seahs of barley for a shekel, and a seah of fine flour for a shekel, shall be tomorrow about this time in the gate of Samaria;”
19 ka izany mpanafika malaza izany no namaly ilay lehilahin’ Andriamanitra hoe: Indro, na dia hanao varavarankely amin’ ny lanitra aza Jehovah, dia hisy izany zavatra izany va? Fa hoy Elisa: Indro, ho hitan’ ny masonao indrindra izany, fa tsy mba hihinananao.
and that captain answered the man of God, and said, “Now, behold, if the LORD made windows in heaven, might such a thing be?” and he said, “Behold, you will see it with your eyes, but will not eat of it.”
20 Ary dia toy izany no nanjo azy, fa ny olona nanitsaka azy teo am-bavahady, ka dia maty izy.
It happened like that to him, for the people trampled over him in the gate, and he died.
