2 Mpanjaka 6
1 Hoe o anam-pitokio amy Elisà, Hehe te loho maifitse ama’ay ty findreza’ay fimoneñe ama’o etoañe.
And the sons of the prophets said unto Elisha, —See, we pray thee, the place wherein we sit before thee, is too strait 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 us go, we pray thee, as far as the Jordan, and fetch from thence every man a single beam, and let us make us a place wherein we may sit. And he said—Go ye.
3 Le hoe ty raike, Ee te ho no’o ty hindre-lia amo mpitoro’oo. Le hoe ty natoi’e: Homb’eo iraho.
Then said one—Be content, we pray thee, and go with thy servants. And he said—I myself, will go.
4 Aa le nindreza’e. Ie pok’am’ Iordaney, le namira hatae.
So he went with them, —and, when they came to the Jordan, they cut down wood.
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.
And it came to pass, as one was felling a branch, that, the axe-head, fell into the water, so he made outcry and said—Alas! my lord, for, it, was borrowed!
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.
And the man of God said—Where fell it? And he shewed him the place. And he cut down a piece of wood and cast it in thither, and the iron did swim.
7 Le hoe re ama’e rambeso. Aa le nahiti’e ty fità’e nandrambe aze.
And he said—Take it up to thee. So he put forth his hand, and took it.
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.
Now, the king of Syria, was making war against Israel, —so he took counsel with his servants, saying—In such and such a place, shall be my encampment.
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.
The man of God, therefore, sent unto the king of Israel, saying—Beware of passing by this place, —for, thither, are the Syrians coming down.
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 unto the place whereof the man of God had spoken to him and warned him, and was on his guard there, —not once nor twice
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?
Then was the heart of the king of Syria disquieted concerning this thing, —and he called his servants, and said unto them, Will ye not tell me, who of our men are for 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.
Then said one of his servants, None, my lord O king, —but, Elisha, the prophet, who is in Israel, telleth the king of Israel the words which thou speakest in thy bed-chamber.
13 Le hoe re: Akia, rendreho te aia, soa te hampihitrifeko añe ty hangalak’ aze. Le natalily ama’e t’ie e Dotane ao.
And he said—Go, and see where he is, that I may send and take him. And it was told him, saying—Lo! in Dothan.
14 Aa le nañiraha’e soavala naho sarete vaho ty lahialeñe ama’e, nañarikoboñe i rovay te haleñe.
Therefore sent he thither—horses and chariots, and a strong force, —and they came in by night, and encompassed the city.
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?
And, when the attendant of the man of God arose early and went forth, lo! a force surrounding the city, with horses and chariots. Then said his young man unto him—Alas! my lord, what shall we do?
16 Le hoe ty natoi’e: Ko hembañe, fa maro ty aman-tika te am’ iereo.
And he said—Do not fear, —for, more, are, they who are with us, than, they who 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.
Then prayed Elisha, and said, O Yahweh! open, I beseech thee, his eyes, that he may see. And Yahweh opened the eyes of the young man, and he saw, and lo! the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire, round about 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.
And, when they came down to him, Elisha prayed unto Yahweh, and said—Smite, I beseech thee, this people, with sudden blindness. And he smote them with sudden blindness, according to the word of Elisha.
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 said unto them—This, is not the way, neither is, this, the city, follow me, that I may lead you unto the man, whom ye would secure! So 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.
And it came to pass, when they had entered Samaria, that Elisha said, O Yahweh! open the eyes of these men, that they may see! And Yahweh opened their eyes, and they saw, and lo! they were in the midst of Samaria!
21 Le hoe ty mpanjaka’ Israele amy Elisà, ie nioni’e, O aba, ho lafaeko hao? ho zevoñeko ambane hao?
Then said the king of Israel unto Elisha, when he saw them, —Shall I smite—shall I smite, my father?
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.
And he said—Thou shalt not smite. Them whom thou hadst taken captive with thy sword and with thy bow, wouldst, thou, have been smiting? Set bread and water before them, that they may eat and drink, and go their way unto their lord.
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.
And he made for them a great feast, and, when they had eaten and drunk, he let them go, and they went their way unto their lord. So then, troops of Syrians came again, no more, into the land of Israel.
24 Ie añe, le natonto’ i Benhadade mpanjaka’ i Arame i valobohò’e iabiy, le nionjomb’eo namandroñe i Somerone.
But it came to pass, after this, that Ben-hadad king of Syria gathered together all his host, —and came up and laid siege against 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.
And there came to be, a great famine, in Samaria, and lo! they continued the siege against it, —until an ass’s head was sold for eighty pieces of silver, and one pint of dove’s dung for five pieces of silver.
26 Nidraidraitse ambone’ i kijoliy ty mpanjaka’ Israele, le nitoreo ty hoe ama’e ty rakemba: Rombaho iraho talèko, mpanjaka.
And so it was that, as the king of Israel was passing by on the wall, a woman, made outcry unto him, saying—Save, my lord, O 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?
And he said—If Yahweh do not save thee, whence should I save thee? out of the threshing-floor or out of the wine-press?
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.
And the king said to her—What aileth thee? And she said—This woman, said unto me—Give thy son, that we may eat him, to-day, and, my son, will we eat to-morrow.
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 did eat him, —and I said unto her, on the next day, Give thy son, that we may eat him; But she had hid 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.
And it came to pass, when the king heard the words of the woman, that he rent his clothes, while yet he was passing by upon the wall, —so the people looked, and lo! sackcloth upon his flesh, within.
31 Le hoe re: Ee te hafetsan’ Añahare amako naho mandikoatse, naho mbe hipetak’ amy Elisà ana’ i Safate ty añambone’e te anito.
And he said—So, let God do to me, and, so, let him add, —if the head of Elisha son of Shaphat remain on him, to-day!
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?
Now, Elisha, being seated in his house, and, the elders, seated with him, —when he had sent a man from before him, ere yet the messenger could come in unto him, he himself, said unto the elders—Do ye see how this son of a murderer hath sent to take away my head? See! when the messenger is coming in, close ye the door, and press him back with the door, is not the sound of his lord’s feet behind 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 yet he was speaking with them, lo! the messenger, coming down unto him, —and he said, —Lo! this, is a calamity from Yahweh, why should I wait for Yahweh, any longer?
