2 Mpanjaka 7
1 Le hoe t’i Elisà, Mijanjiña ty tsara’ Iehovà, Hoe t’Iehovà, Ie manao hoe io te maray le haletake sekele raik’ an-dalambei’ i Somerone eo ty kapoan’ ampemba mona’e, vaho sekele raike ty vare hordea kapoake roe.
And Elisha said, Hear ye the word of Jehovah. Thus says Jehovah, Tomorrow about this time a measure of fine flour shall be sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, in the gate of Samaria.
2 Tinoi’ ty mpifehe iatoam-pità’ i mpanjakay amy zao indatin’Añaharey ami’ty hoe: Inao! Ndra te nanoe’ Iehovà tsingarakarake ty andikerañe eñe, aia t’ie ho tendreke? Hoe re, Inay! ho isam-pihaino’o, fe tsy hikama’o.
Then the captain on whose hand the king leaned answered the man of God, and said, Behold, if Jehovah should make windows in heaven, might this thing be? And he said, Behold, thou shall see it with thine eyes, but shall not eat of it.
3 Teo ty lahilahy angamae efatse am-pimoahan-dalambey eo; ie nifampivesoveso ty hoe, Ino ty hitobohan-tika etoa am-para’ te mate?
Now there were four leprous men at the entrance of the gate, and they said one to another, Why do we sit here until we die?
4 naho manao ty hoe tika: Antao hizilik’ an-drova: fe ho zoeñe ao i hasalikoañey vaho hivetrak’ ao; ie mboe mitoboke etoa, le hikenkañe ka. Antao arè, hihotrake am-balobohò’ o nte-Arameo; he apo’ iereo velon-tika le ho veloñe, ke ho vonoe’ iereo, le ho mate avao.
If we say, We will enter into the city, then the famine is in the city, and we shall die there. And if we sit still here, we die also. Now therefore come, and let us fall to the army of the Syrians. If they save us alive, we shall live, and if they kill us, we shall but die.
5 Aa le niongake te nangoañe, nigodañe mb’an-tobe’ o nte-Arameo; aa ie pok’ añ’ olo’ i tobey, hehe t’ie tsy ama’ ondaty.
And they rose up in the twilight, to go to the camp of the Syrians. And when they came to the outermost part of the camp of the Syrians, behold, there was no man there.
6 Amy te nampijanjiñe’ i Talè feon-tsarete o nte-Arameo, naho ty feon-tsoavala vaho ty fikoraham-balobohòke, le hoe ty nifanalilia’ iereo: Inao, kinarama’ i mpanjaka’ Israeley haname an-tika o mpanjaka’ o nte-Kiteoo, naho o mpanjaka’ o nte-Mitsraimeoo.
For the Lord had made the army of the Syrians to hear a noise of chariots, and a noise of horses, even the noise of a great army. And they said one to another, Lo, the king of Israel has hired against us the kings of the Hittites, and the kings of the Egyptians, to come upon us.
7 Aa le niongake iereo nitriban-day te mangararak’ atiñanañe, le nadoke o kiboho’eo naho o soavala’eo naho o borìke’eo, naho nado’ iareo i tobey hoe i teoy avao vaho niherereake mb’eo handrombak’ay.
Therefore they arose and fled in the twilight, and left their tents, and their horses, and their donkeys, even the camp as it was, and fled for their life.
8 Ie pok’ añ’olo’ i tobey i angamae rey, le nizilik’ ami’ty kibohotse ao nikama naho ninoñe, naho nakare’ iereo ty volafoty naho ty volamena naho sikiñe, le nenteñe mb’eo vaho naetake; nimoaha’ iareo ty kibohotse raike ka le nangalak’ ao naho nente’ iereo vaho naetake.
And when these lepers came to the outermost part of the camp, they went into one tent, and ate and drank, and carried from there silver, and gold, and raiment, and went and hid it. And they came back, and entered into another tent, and carried from there also, and went and hid it.
9 Le hoe ty fifanaontsia’ iareo, Tsy soa o anoen-tikañeo; toe andro fitalilian-tsoa androany, itika mitsiñe avao; aa naho liñisan-tika te manjirike i àndroy le hiambotraham-pandilovañe; antao arè homb’eo hitalily amo añ’anjomba’ i mpanjakaio.
Then they said one to another, We are not doing right. This day is a day of good news, and we keep silent. If we delay till the morning light, punishment will overtake us. Now therefore come, let us go and tell the king's household.
10 Aa le nimb’eo iereo nitoka o mpitan-dalambeio, nitalily ty hoe; Nimb’ an-toben-te Arame añe zahay, le hehe te leo ondaty tsy ao, po-piarañanaña’ ondaty, fe soavala mirohy naho borìke mirohy, vaho napoke ey avao o kibohotseo.
So they came and called to the porter of the city. And they told them, saying, We came to the camp of the Syrians, and, behold, there was no man there, neither voice of man, but the horses tied, and the donkeys tied, and the tents as they were.
11 Aa le nikoike o mpitan-dalañeo, nitalily añ’ anjomba’ i Mpanjakay.
And he called the porters, and they told it to the king's household within.
12 Le nitroatse amy haleñey i mpanjakay nanao ty hoe amo mpitoro’eo, Hatoroko anahareo ty nanoa’ o nte-Arameo aman-tika. Fohi’ iareo t’ie kerè; aa le niakara’ iereo i tobey hietak’ an-kivok’ ao, nikilily ty hoe: Ie miakatse i rovay iereo, le ho tsepahen-tika veloñe vaho himoak’ amy rovay.
And 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 Aa hoe ty natoi’ ty mpitoro’e raike: Ehe, angao hendeseñe i soavala lime honka’e an-drova atoa rey—ndra t’ie manahake ty valobohò’ Israele sisa ama’e ao; ie ho hambañe amy valobohò’ Israele fa nagodrañey—antao hañirake naho handrendreke.
And one of his servants answered and said, Let, I pray thee, some men take five of the horses that remain, which are left in the city (behold, they are as all the multitude of Israel that are left in it; behold, they are as all the multitude of Israel that are consumed), and let us send and see.
14 Rinambe’ iereo ty sarete roe reketse soavala; vaho nampihitrife’ i mpanjakay hañorike i valobohò’ o nte-Arameoy iereo ami’ty hoe: Akia mandrendreha.
Therefore they took two chariots with horses. And the king sent after the army of the Syrians, saying, Go and see.
15 Aa le norihe’ iereo pak’ am’ Iordaney añe; le hehe te tsitsike sikiñe naho haraotse i lalañey, ze naria’ o nte-Arameo amy falisa’ iareoy. Aa le nimpoly o niraheñeo nitalily amy mpanjakay.
And they went after them to the Jordan. And, lo, all the way was full of garments and vessels, which the Syrians had cast away in their haste. And the messengers returned, and told the king.
16 Niavotse mb’eo ondatio, nikopake ty tobe’ o nte-Arameo. Aa le naletake sekele raike ty kapoak’ ampemba mona’e, naho sekele raike ty kapoake vare-hordea roe, ty amy tsara’ Iehovày.
And the people went out, and plundered the camp of the Syrians. So a measure of fine flour was sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley for a shekel, according to the word of Jehovah.
17 Tinendre’ i mpanjakay hañambeñe ty lalambey i mpifehe iatoam-pità’ey; f’ie linialia’ ondatio an-dalambey eo, le nivetrake hambañe amy nitokia’ indatin’ Añahareiy, amy saontsi’e amy fizotsoa’ i mpanjakay mb’ ama’e mb’eoy.
And the king appointed the captain on whose hand he leaned to have the charge of the gate. And the people trampled upon him in the gate, and he died as the man of God had said, who spoke when the king came down to him.
18 Aa le nitendreke, hambañe amy sinaontsi’ indatin’Añaharey amy mpanjakaiy ty hoe: Vare-hordea kapoake roe, sekele raike, le ty kapoake bon’ ampemba: sekele raike, ty ho zoeñe an-dalambei’ i Somerone te hamaray manahake henanekeo.
And it came to pass, as the man of God had spoken to the king, saying, Two measures of barley for a shekel, and a measure of fine flour for a shekel, shall be tomorrow about this time in the gate of Samaria.
19 Tinoi’ i mpifehey ty hoe indatin’ Añaharey: Eo hey; ndra te nanoe’ Iehovà tsingaragarake ty andikerañe eñe, tsy ho nitendreke o raha zao. Le hoe ty navale’e: Inao! ho isam-pihano’o, fe tsy hikama’o.
And that captain answered the man of God, and said, Now, behold, if Jehovah should make windows in heaven, might such a thing be? And he said, Behold, thou shall see it with thine eyes, but shall not eat of it.
20 Aa le izay ty nifetsak’ ama’e kanao linialia’ ondatio an-dalambey eo, vaho nihomake.
It came to pass even so to him, for the people trampled upon him in the gate, and he died.
