1 Hoe o anam-pitokio amy Elisà, Hehe te loho maifitse ama’ay ty fin­dreza’ay fimoneñe ama’o etoañe.
The sons of the prophets told Elisha, “Look, the place we meet with you is too small for us.
2 Ehe, angao handenà’ay mb’am’Iordaney mb’eo, songa hangalake ty boda’e boak’ ao han­dranjia’ay akiba himoneña’ay. Le hoe re, Akia.
Let's go to the Jordan and each of us can carry one log back. We can build a new place there for us to meet.” “Go ahead,” said Elisha.
3 Le hoe ty raike, Ee te ho no’o ty hindre-lia amo mpitoro’oo. Le hoe ty natoi’e: Homb’eo iraho.
One of them asked, “Please come with your servants.” “I'll come,” he replied.
4 Aa le nindreza’e. Ie pok’am’ Iordaney, le namira hatae.
So he went with them. When they got to the Jordan, they started cutting down trees.
5 Fe nadebo’ ty raike i boda’ey, le nipitsik’ an-drano ao ty lela’ i feko’ey vaho hoe re, Hoke, talè, nindrameñe ‘nio.
But as one of them was cutting down a tree, the iron axhead fell into the water. “Oh no! My master, it was one that was borrowed!” he shouted.
6 Le hoe indatin’ Añaharey, aia ty nijoroboña’e? Le natoro’e aze i nipoha’ey. Aa le nibira hatae kede re nañifik’ aze ey, nampitsikafoñe i viñey.
“Where did it fall?” the man of God asked. When he showed him the place, the man of God cut a stick, threw it in there, and made the iron axhead float.
7 Le hoe re ama’e rambeso. Aa le nahiti’e ty fità’e nandrambe aze.
“Pick it up,” Elisha told the man. So he reached out his hand and picked it up.
8 Nialy amy Israele amy zao ty mpanjaka’ i Arame, le nisafiry amo mpitoro’eo, nanao ty hoe; An-koe naho an-koe ao ty hitobeako.
The Aramean king was at war with Israel. After consulting with his officers, he said, “I will set up my camp in this particular place.”
9 Le nampañitrike mb’ amy mpanjaka’ Israeley mb’eo indatin’ Añaharey, ty hoe: Asoao irehe tsy hiary an-koe eo, amy t’ie homba’ o nte-Ara­meo.
Then the man of God sent a warning to the king of Israel: “Watch out if you go near this place, because the Arameans are going to be there.”
10 Aa le nañirak’ amy toetse natoro naho nahatahata’ indatin’ Añaharey azey vaho nitaòa’e i toetsey, tsy indroe tsy indraike.
So the king of Israel sent a warning to the place the man of God had indicated. Elisha repeatedly warned the king, so that he was on the alert in those places.
11 Aa le nahatsimboetse ty arofo’ i mpanjaka’ i Aramey i rahay, le kinoi’e o mpitoro’eo vaho nanoa’e ty hoe: Tsy hatoro’ areo amako hao te ia aman-tika ty mpiamy mpanjaka’ Israeley?
This made the Aramean king really mad. He summoned his officers, demanding an answer: “Tell me, which of us is on the side of the king of Israel?”
12 Le hoe ty mpitoro’e, Tsie, ry talè mpanjakako; i Elisà, mpitoki’ Israeley ty mitali­ly amy mpanjaka’ Israeley ty entañe saontsie’o añ’efem-pandrea’o ao.
“It's none of us, my lord the king,” one of his officers replied. “It's Elisha, the prophet who lives in Israel—he tells the king of Israel even what you say in your bedroom.”
13 Le hoe re: Akia, rendreho te aia, soa te hampihitrifeko añe ty hangalak’ aze. Le natalily ama’e t’ie e Dotane ao.
So the king gave the order, “Go and find out where he is so I can send soldiers to capture him.” He was told, “Elisha is in Dothan.”
14 Aa le nañiraha’e soavala naho sarete vaho ty lahialeñe ama’e, nañarikoboñe i rovay te haleñe.
So he sent horses, chariots, and a large army. They came at night and surrounded the town.
15 Aa ie nitroatse maraindray ty mpitoro’ indatin’ Añaharey, naho niavotse, indroy ty valobohòke reketse soavala naho sarete niarikatoke i rovay. Le hoe i mpitoro’ey ama’e, Hankàñe, ry talèko! Akore ty hanoen-tika?
Early in the morning when the servant of the man of God got up, he went out and saw that an army with horses and chariots had surrounded the city. “Oh, my master, what are we going to do?” he asked Elisha.
16 Le hoe ty natoi’e: Ko hembañe, fa maro ty aman-tika te am’ iereo.
Elisha replied, “Don't be afraid, for there are many more who are with us than there are with them!”
17 Aa le niloloke t’i Elisà nanao ty hoe: Ry Iehovà, ihalaliako, ampibeaho o maso’eo hahatrea; le sinoka’ Iehovà o maso’ i mpi­toro’eio le nahaisake te indroy, nanitsike i vohitsey ty mpiningi-tsoavala naho sareten’ afo niarikatok’ i Elisà.
Elisha prayed, saying, “Lord, please open his eyes so he can see.” The Lord opened the servant's eyes, and when he looked he saw the hills full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.
18 Aa ie nizotso mb’ ama’e mb’eo o nte-Arameo le nihalaly amy Iehovà t’i Elisà ami’ty hoe: Ehe lafao hagoa ondatio. Aa le pinao’e ty hafè iereo ty amy saontsi’ i Elisày.
As the army descended on him, Elisha prayed to the Lord, “Please strike these people with blindness.” So he struck them with blindness, as Elisha had asked.
19 Le hoe t’i Elisà am’ iereo, Tsy ie ty lalañe toy, tsy ie ka ty rova toy; oriho iraho vaho hase­seko mb’ amy ‘ndaty paiae’ areoy. Le kinozozò’e mb’e Somerone mb’eo.
Then Elisha went and told them, “This isn't the right road, and this isn't the right town. Follow me, and I'll take you to the man you're looking for.” He led them to Samaria.
20 Ie amy zao, naho nivotrake e Somerone ao iereo le nanao ty hoe t’i Elisà. Ry Iehovà, sokafo o fihaino ondaty retoañeo, hahaisake. Aa le nampibolanahe’ Iehovà ty fihaino ondaty reo, vaho nahaisake te heheke, am-po’ i Somerone ao.
After they had entered Samaria, Elisha prayed, “Lord, open the eyes of these men that they can see.” The Lord opened their eyes, and they looked around and saw that they were in Samaria.
21 Le hoe ty mpanjaka’ Israele amy Elisà, ie nioni’e, O aba, ho lafaeko hao? ho zevoñeko ambane hao?
When the king of Israel saw them, he asked Elisha, “My father, shall I kill them? Shall I kill them?”
22 Le hoe ty natoi’e: ko lafae’o. Ho nizevoñe’o hao o nitsepahe’o am-pibara naho fale’oo? Anjotso mahakama naho rano, hikamà’e, hinoma’e, himpolie’ iareo mb’ an-talè’ iareo añe.
“No, don't you kill them!” he replied. “Would you kill prisoners you captured with your own sword or bow? Give them some food and water so that they may eat and drink, and then let them go back to their master.”
23 Aa le nihalankañe’e takataka, naho nikama naho ninoñe iereo vaho nirahe’e mb’ aman-talè’ iareo añe. Aa le tsy niheo mb’ an-tane Israele mb’eo ka o mpirim­bon-dahindefo’ i Arameo.
So the king had a great feast prepared for them, and once they had finished eating and drinking, he sent them back to their master. The Aramean raiders did not enter the land of Israel again.
24 Ie añe, le natonto’ i Benhadade mpanjaka’ i Arame i valobohò’e iabiy, le nionjomb’eo namandroñe i Some­rone.
Sometime after this Ben-hadad king of Aram called up all his army and went to lay siege to Samaria.
25 Nanilofen-kasalikoañe ty Somerone henane zay; le niarikatoheñe ampara’ te naletake volafoty va­lompolo ty loham-borìke naho volafoty lime ty tain-deho am-pahèfa’ ty kabe.
So there was a major famine in Samaria. In fact the siege lasted so long that a donkey's head cost eighty shekels of silver, and a quarter cab of dove's dung cost five shekels of silver.
26 Nidraidraitse ambone’ i kijoliy ty mpanjaka’ Israele, le nitoreo ty hoe ama’e ty rakemba: Rombaho iraho talèko, mpanjaka.
As the king of Israel was walking by on the city wall, a woman called out to him, “Help me, my lord the king!”
27 Le hoe re, Naho tsy mandrombak’ azo t’Iehovà, aia ty hañolorako azo? he boak’ an-toem-pamofohañe, ke boak’ am-pipiritan-divay ao?
“If the Lord doesn't help you, why would you think I can help you?” the king replied. “I don't have grain from the threshing floor, or wine from the winepress.”
28 Le hoe ty mpanjaka ama’e: Ino o mañolañe azoo. Le hoe ty natoi’e: Nanao ty hoe amako ty rakemba, Atoloro hey i ana-dahi’oy ho hanentika anito le ho hanentika hamaray i ana-dahikoy.
But then he asked her, “What's the problem?” “This woman told me, ‘Give up your son and we'll eat him today, and tomorrow we'll eat my son,’” she answered.
29 Aa le kinetre’ay i ana-dahikoy naho nihane’ay; le hoe ty asako ama’e amy loakandroy, Atoloro ka i ana-dahi’oy hihinanan-tikañe; fe naeta’e i ana-dahi’ey.
“So we cooked my son and we ate him. The next day I said to her, ‘Give up your son so we can eat him,’ but she's hidden her son.”
30 Ie nahajanjiñe ty enta’ i rakembay i mpanjakay le rinia’e o saro’eo, le nitonjohize’e ty lia’e amy kijoliy, f’ie nandrendrehe’ ondatio, heheke te lamba-gony ty an-tsandri’e.
When the king heard what the woman said he ripped his clothes. As he walked by on the wall, the people saw that he was wearing sackcloth under his clothes next to his skin.
31 Le hoe re: Ee te hafetsan’ Añahare amako naho mandikoatse, naho mbe hipetak’ amy Elisà ana’ i Safate ty añ­am­bone’e te anito.
“May God punish me very severely if the head of Elisha, son of Shaphat, remains on his shoulders today!” he declared.
32 Fe niam­besatse añ’an­jomba’e ao t’i Elisà, naho nitrao-piambesatse ama’e o androanavio; le nañitrike ìrake hiaolo aze mb’eo i mpanjakay fe mbe tsy pok’ eo i nahitrikey, le hoe re amo androanavio: Oni’ areo hao te nañitrife’ ty anam-pamono tia ty lohako? Inao, ie pok’eo i irakey, arindrino i lalañey naho tano mirindriñe ama’e i lalañey; aa tsy mañorik’ aze hao ty fika­tsea­katse­am-pandia’ i tompo’ey?
Elisha was sitting in his house with the elders. The king had sent a messenger on ahead, but before he got there, Elisha told the elders, “Can you see how this murderer is sending someone to cut off my head? So, as soon as the messenger arrives, close the door and hold it shut against him. Isn't that the sound of his master's footsteps following him?”
33 Ie mbe nisaontsy am’ iereo, le nivo­trak’ ama’e i ìrakey nanao ty hoe, Inao, boak’ am’ Iehovà o hekoheko zao, ino ty mbe handiñisako Iehovà?
While Elisha was still speaking with them, the messenger arrived. The king said, “This disaster is from the Lord. Why should I wait for the Lord any longer?”
