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.
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 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.
“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 Le hoe re: Akia, indramo vatavo amo mpitrao-tanañe ama’o iabio, vatavo kapaike; le ko mindrañe tsy ampeampe.
“Go and borrow empty jars from your neighbors—as many as possible, not just a few,” Elisha told her.
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.
“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 Aa le nieng’ aze re naho narindri’e ama’e naho amo ana’eo i lalañey, le nandesa’ iereo vatavo vaho nañiliña’e.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 Le hoe re amy vali’ey: Inao, apotako te ondaty miavak’ aman’ Añahare i miary aman-tika nainai’ey.
She told her husband, “I'm sure that this man who regularly visits us is a holy man of God.
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.
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 Teo te indraik’ andro, niary eo re nimoak’ am-batsa ao le nandre.
One day Elisha arrived and went up to his room and lay down.
12 Le hoe re amy Gekazý, mpitoro’ey, Kanjio i nte-Sonamiy. Aa le kinanji’e, vaho nijohañe añatrefa’e.
He said to his servant Gehazi, “Ask the Shunammite woman to come here.” Gehazi called her and she came to see Elisha.
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.
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 Le hoe re, Ino arè ty hanoeñe? le hoe t’i Gekazý: Toe tsy aman’ ana-dahy re, vaho fa bey ty vali’e.
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 Le hoe re, Kanjio. Aa ie nikanjia’e, inge ie nijohañe an-dalam-bey eo.
Elisha said, “Ask her to come back.” So Gehazi called her, and she came stood by 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.
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 Fe niareñe i rakembay, nisamak’ ana-dahy amy sa zay, ie nibalike ty taoñe, ty amy saontsi’ i Elisà ama’ey.
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 Ie nibey i ajajay, le teo ty andro, t’ie nihitrike mb’aman-drae’e, mb’ amo mpanatakeo mb’eo.
The child grew up, but one day he when went out to see his father who was with the reapers,
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 complained to his father, “My head hurts! My head hurts!” His father told one of his servants, “Carry him back 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.
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 Niañambone mb’eo re vaho nahitsi’e am-pandrea’ indatin’ Añaharey le narindri’e i lalañey vaho niakatse.
She went upstairs and laid him on the bed of the man of God. Then she shut the door behind her and left.
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 said, “Please send me one of the servants and a donkey so I can run to the man of God and come back.”
23 Le hoe re, Ino ty handenà’o añe te anito? tsy pea-bolañe, tsy Sabata. Le hoe re: Mbe ho soa.
“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 Aa le dinia’e i borìke’ey, le hoe re amy mpitoro’ey, Endeso, mionjona; le ko malaoñe ty amako naho tsy ivolañako.
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 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.
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 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.
Please run to meet her and ask her, ‘Is everything fine with you, your husband, and your boy?’” “Everything's fine,” she replied.
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.
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 Le hoe re: Nisalala ana-dahy hao iraho ry talèko? tsy nanoeko ty hoe hao: Ko mamañahy ahy?
“Did I ask you for a son, my lord?” she asked. “Didn't I tell you, ‘Don't tell me lies’?”
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.
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 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 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 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.
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 Ie nimoak’ añ’ anjomba ao t’i Elisà zoe’e te nivetrake i ajaja nandre am-pandrea’ey.
When Elisha got to the house, there was the boy, lying dead on his bed.
33 Aa le nizilik’ ao re naho narindri’e am’ ie roe i lalañey, vaho nihalaly amy Iehovà.
He went in, shut the door behind them both, and 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.
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 Nibalike re, nibelobelo amy trañoy ao, le nibalike, nihitsy ama’e indraike; nihatsihe im-pito i ajajay vaho nabolana’ i ajajay o maso’eo.
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 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.
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 Nizilik’ ao re nibabok’ am-pandia’e eo, nidròdreke mb’an-tane naho rinambe’e i ana-dahi’ey vaho niavotse.
She came in, fell at his feet, and bowed to the ground. Then she picked up her son and left.
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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
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 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.
“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 Aa le nanjotsoa’e le nikama iereo vaho nanisa, ty amy tsara’ Iehovày.
So he served the bread to them. They ate, and had some left over, just as the Lord had said.
