2 Mpanjaka 4
1 Nitoreo amy Elisà ty rakemba raik’ amo tañanjomba’ o anam-pitokio, nanao ty hoe: Nihomake i valiko, mpitoro’oy, le fohi’o te nañeveñe am’ Iehovà i mpitoro’oy; vaho nipok’ eo ty mpampisongo hangalake ty ana-dahiko roe hondevo’e.
Now a certain woman, from the wives of the prophets, cried out to Elisha, saying: “My husband, your servant, is dead. And you know that your servant was one who fears the Lord. And behold, a creditor has arrived, so that he may take away my two sons to serve him.”
2 Le hoe t’i Elisà ama’e: Ino ty hanoeko ho azo? italilio, ino o hanaña’o añ’ anjomba’oo. Le hoe re: Tsy aman-draha añ’anjomba ao ty mpitoro’o ampela naho tsy vatavo menake raik’ avao.
And Elisha said to her: “What do you want me to do for you? Tell me, what do you have in your house?” And she responded, “I, your handmaid, do not have anything in my house, except a little oil, with which I may be anointed.”
3 Le hoe re: Akia, indramo vatavo amo mpitrao-tanañe ama’o iabio, vatavo kapaike; le ko mindrañe tsy ampeampe.
And he said to her: “Go, ask to borrow from all your neighbors empty vessels, more than a few.
4 Mimoaha amy zay vaho agabeño ama’o naho amy ana-dahi’o rey i lalañey, le adoaño amo vatavo iabio, vaho aviho ty pea.
And enter and close your door. And when you are inside with your sons, pour from the oil into all those vessels. And when they are full, take them away.”
5 Aa le nieng’ aze re naho narindri’e ama’e naho amo ana’eo i lalañey, le nandesa’ iereo vatavo vaho nañiliña’e.
And so, the woman went and closed the door upon herself and her sons. They were bringing her the vessels, and she was pouring into them.
6 Ie hene nipea o vatavoo, le hoe re amy ana’ey: endeso vatavo tovo’e. Fa hoe re ama’e: Tsy amam-batavo ka. Aa le nijihetse i menakey.
And when the vessels had been filled, she said to her son, “Bring me another a vessel.” And he responded, “I have none.” And there was oil remaining.
7 Nimb’eo re nitalily amy ‘ndatin’Añaharey. Le hoe re: Akia, aletaho i menakey, le ondroho i songoy le miveloma amy sisay, ihe naho i ana-dahi’o rey.
Then she went and told the man of God. And he said: “Go, sell the oil, and repay your creditor. Then you and your sons may live on what remains.”
8 Ie te indraik’ andro, naho ho niranga i Sonamý t’i Elisà, le teo ty rakemba mpañarivo; nanjitse aze hikama mofo. Ie amy zao, ndra mbia’ mbia niary mb’ eo re le nitsile mb’eo hikama mofo.
Now it happened that, on a certain day, Elisha passed by Shunem. And there was a great woman there, who took him to eat bread. And since he frequently passed by there, he turned aside to her house, so that he might eat bread.
9 Le hoe re amy vali’ey: Inao, apotako te ondaty miavak’ aman’ Añahare i miary aman-tika nainai’ey.
And she said to her husband: “I have noticed that he is a holy man of God, who passes by us frequently.
10 Ehe, antao handranjy efetse kedek’ an-tafo ey naho hasian-tika fandreañe naho latabatse naho seza vaho fitàn-jiro ty ao ho aze; aa ie miheo mb’ aman-tikañ’ atoy, le ao ty hiziliha’e.
Therefore, let us prepare a small upper room for him, and place a bed in it for him, and a table, and a chair, and a lampstand, so that when he comes to us, he may stay there.”
11 Teo te indraik’ andro, niary eo re nimoak’ am-batsa ao le nandre.
Then it happened that, on a certain day, arriving, he turned aside into the upper room, and he rested there.
12 Le hoe re amy Gekazý, mpitoro’ey, Kanjio i nte-Sonamiy. Aa le kinanji’e, vaho nijohañe añatrefa’e.
And he said to his servant Gehazi, “Call this Shunammite woman.” And when he had called her, and she stood before him,
13 Le hoe re amy mpitoro’ey, Isaontsio ty hoe: Hehe, niatrak’ anay irehe amo fañasoañe iabio; aa le inoñe ty hanoeñe ho azo? ho saontsieñe amy mpanjakay hao, ndra amy mpifehe i valobohòkeiy? Le hoe ty natoi’e: Mimoneñe am’ondatikoo iraho.
he said to his servant: “Say to her: Behold, you have ministered to us attentively in all things. What do you want, that I might do for you? Do you have any business, or do you want me to speak to the king, or to the leader of the military?” And she responded, “I live in the midst of my own people.”
14 Le hoe re, Ino arè ty hanoeñe? le hoe t’i Gekazý: Toe tsy aman’ ana-dahy re, vaho fa bey ty vali’e.
And he said, “Then what does she want, that I might do for her?” And Gehazi said: “You need not ask. For she has no son, and her husband is elderly.”
15 Le hoe re, Kanjio. Aa ie nikanjia’e, inge ie nijohañe an-dalam-bey eo.
And so, he instructed him to call her. And when she had been called, and was standing before the door,
16 Le hoe re: Ie mibalike ty taoñe ami’ty andro tinendre toy, le hiotroñe ana-dahy irehe. Le hoe re: Aiy! ry talèko, ry ondatin’ Añahareo, ko mandañitse amo anak’ampata’oo.
he said to her, “At this time, and at this same hour, with life as a companion, you will have a son in your womb.” But she responded, “Do not, I ask you, my lord, a man of God, do not be willing to lie to your handmaid.”
17 Fe niareñe i rakembay, nisamak’ ana-dahy amy sa zay, ie nibalike ty taoñe, ty amy saontsi’ i Elisà ama’ey.
And the woman conceived. And she bore a son, in the time and at the same hour as Elisha had said.
18 Ie nibey i ajajay, le teo ty andro, t’ie nihitrike mb’aman-drae’e, mb’ amo mpanatakeo mb’eo.
And the boy grew. And on a certain day, when he had gone out to his father, to the harvesters,
19 Le hoe re aman-drae’e: Ty lohako, ty lohako. Le hoe re amy mpitoro’ey: Babeo mb’ aman-drene’e mb’eo.
he said to his father: “I have a pain in my head. I have a pain in my head.” But he said to his servant, “Take him, and lead him to his mother.”
20 Le nendese’e naho nasese’e aman-drene’e; ie nitobok’ añ’ongo’e eo am-para’ te tsipinde mena vaho nikenkañe.
But when he had taken him, and he had led him to his mother, she placed him upon her knees, until midday, and then he died.
21 Niañambone mb’eo re vaho nahitsi’e am-pandrea’ indatin’ Añaharey le narindri’e i lalañey vaho niakatse.
Then she went up and laid him out on the bed of the man of God, and she closed the door. And departing,
22 Kinanji’e amy zao i vali’ey nanao ty hoe: Ehe, ahitrifo amako ty mpitoroñe, naho ty borìke, hihitrifako mb’ indatin’ Añaharey mb’eo vaho himpoly.
she called her husband, and she said: “Send with me, I beg you, one of your servants, and a donkey, so that I may hurry to the man of God, and then return.”
23 Le hoe re, Ino ty handenà’o añe te anito? tsy pea-bolañe, tsy Sabata. Le hoe re: Mbe ho soa.
And he said to her: “What is the reason that you would go to him? Today is not the new moon, and it is not the Sabbath.” She responded, “I will go.”
24 Aa le dinia’e i borìke’ey, le hoe re amy mpitoro’ey, Endeso, mionjona; le ko malaoñe ty amako naho tsy ivolañako.
And she saddled a donkey, and she instructed her servant: “Drive, and hurry on. You shall cause no delay for me in departing. And do whatever I instruct you to do.”
25 Le nionjomb’ am’ indatin’ Añahare am-bohi’ Karmeley re. Aa ie nahatalake aze indatin’ Añaharey te eroy, le hoe re amy Gekazý, mpitoro’ey: Ingo, eroy i nte-Sonamiy.
And so she set out. And she came to the man of God, on mount Carmel. And when the man of God had seen her at a distance, he said to his servant Gehazi: “Behold, it is that Shunammite woman.
26 Ehe mihitrihitrifa hifanalaka ama’e le añontaneo ty hoe: Jangam-b’iheo? mbe soa hao i vali’oy? mbe soa hao i ana’oy? le hoe ty navale’e: Mbe soa.
So then, go to meet her, and say to her, ‘Does all go well concerning you, and your husband, and your son?’” And she answered, “It is well.”
27 Ie pok’ amy ‘ndatin’ Añahare an-kaboañey, le nifihine’e o fandia’eo. Nimb’eo t’i Gekazý hameve aze; fa hoe indatin’ Añaharey: Apoho, fa mafaitse ama’e ty fiai’e, naho naeta’ Iehovà amako; tsy nitaroña’e.
And when she had arrived at the man of God, on the mount, she took hold of his feet. And Gehazi drew near, so that he might remove her. But the man of God said: “Permit her. For her soul is in bitterness. And the Lord has concealed it from me, and has not revealed it to me.”
28 Le hoe re: Nisalala ana-dahy hao iraho ry talèko? tsy nanoeko ty hoe hao: Ko mamañahy ahy?
And she said to him: “Did I ask a son from my lord? Did I not say to you, ‘You should not deceive me?’”
29 Aa le hoe re amy Gekazý: Midiaña vania, rambeso am-pità’o i kobaikoy, le akia mb’eo; ie mifanalaka ama’ondaty, ko mañontane; ie añontaneane, ko manoiñe; le ampandreo an-tarehe’ i ajajay i kobaikoy.
And so he said to Gehazi: “Gird your waist, and take my staff in your hand, and go. If any man will meet you, you shall not greet him. And if anyone greets you, you shall not respond to him. And place my staff upon the face of the boy.”
30 Hoe ty rene’ i ajajay: Kanao veloñe t’Iehovà, naho veloñe ty fiai’o, tsy hieng’ azo iraho. Aa le niongake re nañorik’ aze.
But the mother of the boy said, “As the Lord lives, and as your soul lives, I will not release you.” Therefore, he rose up, and he followed her.
31 Niaolo iereo t’i Gekazý, le napo’e an-tarehe’ i ajajay i kobaiñey; fe po-feo naho fitsanoñañe. Nibalik’ amy zay re hifanalaka vaho natalili’e ty hoe: Mboe tsy nisotrake i ajajay.
But Gehazi had gone before them, and he had placed the staff upon the face of the boy. And there was no voice, nor any response. And so he returned to meet him. And he reported to him, saying, “The boy did not rise up.”
32 Ie nimoak’ añ’ anjomba ao t’i Elisà zoe’e te nivetrake i ajaja nandre am-pandrea’ey.
Therefore, Elisha entered the house. And behold, the boy was lying dead upon his bed.
33 Aa le nizilik’ ao re naho narindri’e am’ ie roe i lalañey, vaho nihalaly amy Iehovà.
And entering, he closed the door upon himself and the boy. And he prayed to the Lord.
34 Niongake re naho nandre amy ajajay, natoho’e am-bava’e ty falie’e; an-taña’e o fità’eo, amo maso’eo o fihaino’eo naho niatatse ama’e vaho nihamafana ty sandri’ i ajajay.
And he climbed up, and lay across the boy. And he put his mouth over his mouth, and his eyes over his eyes, and his hands over his hands. And he leaned himself over him, and the body of the boy grew warm.
35 Nibalike re, nibelobelo amy trañoy ao, le nibalike, nihitsy ama’e indraike; nihatsihe im-pito i ajajay vaho nabolana’ i ajajay o maso’eo.
And returning, he walked around the house, first here and then there. And he went up, and lay across him. And the boy gasped seven times, and he opened his eyes.
36 Tinoka’e t’i Gekazý ami’ty hoe: Kanjio i nte-Sonamiy. Le tinoka’e. Aa ie nimoak’ ao, hoe re: Intoy o ana’oo.
And he called Gehazi, and said to him, “Call this Shunammite woman.” And having been called, she entered to him. And he said, “Take up your son.”
37 Nizilik’ ao re nibabok’ am-pandia’e eo, nidròdreke mb’an-tane naho rinambe’e i ana-dahi’ey vaho niavotse.
She went and fell at his feet, and she reverenced upon the ground. And she took up her son, and departed.
38 Ie nibalike mb’e Gilgale mb’eo t’i Elisà; nisalikoeñe i taney; naho nitobok’ aolo’e o anam-pitokio, le hoe re amy mpitoro’ey, Apoho ama’e i valàñe jabajabay le anokono ahandro o anam-pitokio.
And Elisha returned to Gilgal. Now there was a famine in the land, and the sons of the prophets were living in his sight. And he said to one of his servants, “Set out a large cooking pot, and boil a soup for the sons of the prophets.”
39 Niakatse mb’an-tetek’ ey ty raike hitsongo añañe le naharendreke vahen’ ala naho tsinongo’e naho natsafe’e sarevazavozavo i siki’ey, vaho pinatepate’e am-balañe ao, fe tsy napota’e te inoñe.
And one went out into the field, so that he might collect wild herbs. And he found something like a wild vine, and he gathered from it bitter fruits of the field, and he filled his cloak. And returning, he cut these up for the pot of soup. But he did not know what it was.
40 Aa le naili’ iareo hikama’ ondatio. Ie nikama amy natokoñey iereo le nipazake ty hoe, O ondatin’ Añahareo, fikoromahañe ty am-balàñe ao. Le tsy nahafikama ama’e iereo.
Then they poured it out for their companions to eat. And when they had tasted the mixture, they cried out, saying, “Death is in the cooking pot, O man of God!” And they were unable to eat.
41 Aa hoe re, Endeso atoy i lilañey, le nadoa’e am-balàñe ao izay, le hoe re: Amoaro ondatio hikama, le tsy nijoy ka ty am-balàñe ao.
But he said, “Bring some flour.” And when they had brought it, he cast it into the cooking pot, and he said, “Pour it out for the group, so that they may eat.” And there was no longer any bitterness in the cooking pot.
42 Pok’ eo ka t’indaty boake Baale-salisà, ninday mofo boak’ amo loha-voao mb’am’ indatin’ Añaharey, vonga-mofo hordea roapolo; naho tsako-le an-koro’e ao. Le hoe re anjotso ondatio hikama.
Now a certain man arrived from Baal-Shalishah, carrying, for the man of God, bread from the first-fruits, twenty loaves of barley, and new grain in his satchel. But he said, “Give it to the people, so that they may eat.”
43 Fa hoe i mpitoro’ey, Akore ty hanjotsoako toy am’ondaty zatoo? Fa hoe re: Anjotsò ondatio hikama, fa hoe ty nafè’ Iehovà: Toe hikama iereo vaho hanisa.
And his servant responded to him, “What amount is this, that I should set it before a hundred men?” But he said again: “Give it to the people, so that they may eat. For thus says the Lord, ‘They shall eat, and there shall be still more.’”
44 Aa le nanjotsoa’e le nikama iereo vaho nanisa, ty amy tsara’ Iehovày.
And so, he set it before them. And they ate, and there was still more, in accord with the word of the Lord.
